Farmers' platform calls for free trade. There are thus three groups, but really only two policies: a modi- fied protective tariff versus absolute tree trade. Now that the premier has thrown down the gauntlet, electorate is left the choice. HGQRSE VERSUS AUTO, For pleasure driving, and large extent for freight, the automobile hag superced- ed the horse. Many millions of hor- ses continue in use, however, and ac- cording to a statement issued by the Pennsylvania state department of ag- riculture there is no danger of their to a for it finds that for short hauls the | mical than the machine, mal industry of that state says it less than twenty miles a day the fulness is placed at ten years, but it gasoline driven automobile truck wil{] not exceed seven years. Contintiing, | the report says: "Horses can be fed to-day at 65c. per ddy; automobiles do not feed so cheaply. Horse repair bills--that is, veterinary bills--are a negligible item; automobile répair bills are not. The investment m a team of horses and a waggon is cer- tainly no more than 25 per cent, of that in an automobile of like capa- city." These figures are just as true of. a Canadian province as of the state be done with a horse more cheaply than with a gas engine, the animal will survive. Improvements will come in automobiles, however, which will reduce the cost of operating and will lengthen their life, When that time comes about there will be no further need for the horse and it will pass out of use. THE HARDY SONS OF --ADVEN- TURE. At a time when so much of the world seems at cross-purposes, it is scothing to hear one explorer alter arother pop into the news with his detached plans to probe yet more nearly this harrowing world of ours. Amundsen recently has been res- cued and brought back to civiliza- tion; MacMil an has his plans; Shac- kleton is all set for the Enderby Quadrant; these a few of the more conspicuous. "To the stay-at-home, with all lands brought to him through the illustrated Tagazines and the activ- ity of newspapers, there does not seem to be much left to look for in those two vague areas known as the Polar regions. Not so with the Am- undsens, MacMillans and Shackletons. They themselves pursue their course because they are drivem by their imagination; they are permitted to do so and supported in the enter. prises because of the material bene- fits which result from their observa- tions; particularly of meteorologieal phenomena.
