Nearly always if the public is in- formed 1t is fair, Its tendency is to- ward faimess, and it appreciates the efforts of those who, inetead of try- ing to conceal business in which the public is interested, come right out and tell the truth about it. Several corporations, far from the old prac- tice of damning the public, or trying to hoodwink the public, have told their troubles and asked suggestions An series of advertisements, and the résults have been good. Business is discovering that it pays to tél the public its trials and difficulties as well as its good points, - The more the public knows about a legitimate business, the more like- ly it is thet its business with the public will be conducted smoothly. It pays any business to be frank with the public, because the public itkes to believe it is fair, and it is fair in the long run. The more it knows about a certain thing, the more fair is its treatment, All that business wents from the public is a square deal, and it will get that from a well-informed public, LIBERAL REORGANIZATION, The first important step in the re- organization of the Liberal Party in Ontario will be taken at the provin- olal comvention which opens in To- ronto on March 1st when a party leader will be chosen, The man most Mkely to receive the endorsation of the convention as leader is F'. Wellington Hay, M.P.P., the present tempogary leader in the legislature who, in his recent speech at the opening of the present session of the legislature showed mot omly | exceptional ability, but also a most sound grasp of all matters affecting | the province of Ontario to-day, quali- ties that mark him for the position of leadership of the party. Where can the Liberal panty find a more experi- enced and capable man for the lead- ership? The new leader is faced with the task of rebuilding the Liberal party on the foundations so well laid by tho statesmen who achieved great things, who ennobled public life in Canada, and whose integrity and honor add luster to the pages of Can- adian history, The new leader must make Liberalism the strength it was under Mowat, Hardy and Ross in order that it may be in a position to assume the responsibilities demand- ed by the presert state of the coun- try. , : The people of Canada are, to-day looking to the Liberal party for constrictive administration in public affairs, and this was abundantly shown in the provincial election of 1919 when nearly half of the entire vote ot 1,153,667 cast was Liberal, and in the late dominjon elections Jvhen the Liberals swept the country, Had the Liberal party been returned to power in 1911, it is safe to assume that there would never have been U.F.0. and Progressive parties in Canada to-day. Our political history during the past twenty-five years shows that Conservative governs ments caused the farmers to organ- ize, for a Conservative defeat invari ably found the farmers' political agi- tation subside. From 1890 to 1896, under Com- servative rule, the farmers organized thousands of Patrons of Industry lodges and disturbed political condi« tions generally, These were allayed by the splendid legislation and con- fidence inspired by the Liberals under Sir Wiltrid Laurier from 1896 to 1911, During Conservative rule again after 1911 the farmers, as & United Farmers organization, sprang up and grew very powerful both in commercial and political life. Conservative party rule breeds dis- content, 'Tt was eo in the federal field under Str J. A. Macdonald in the nineteenth cemtury and under Sir Robert Borden and Right Hon. Arthur Meighen in the twentieth century, es well as under the pro- vincial government of Ontario from 1905 to 1919. In 1894 the Patrons of Industry elected seventeen mem- bers to the Ontario Legislature, and in 1896 they elected three to the House of Commons, In the provin- , | cial election of 1898 they did not elect a single representative, and then ended the political movement until after the Conservatives came into power under Sir Robert Borden in 1911 when Conservative rule at Ottawa and Toronto gave a new im- to the agrarian movement which resulted so disastrously to Sir William Hearst in 1919, and the Meighen government ' in December, 1921, when the Conservatives were completely eliminated west of the great lakes and east of the Ottawa river. y But though the country has suf- fered from Conservative rule and the people grew exasperated, and meny were driven to class organization, the triumph of Liberalism saved us from a state of political chaos, The sound elements in the country voted has e great federal leader in Hom. W. L. Mackenzie King, and Mr, F. Wellington Hay gives promise of a brilliant future in Ontario. PROF. C. R.

There are so many ways of cur- ing the aches that torture bone and thew, it does seem strange we are | enduring the same old pains our fa-| thers knew. On our main street the] signs are swinging, the signs of heal- ers by the score, who'll start our dismal hearts a-singing, if we'll dig up five bones or four. By every mail I get a letter from one practi-| tioner or two, who'd free me from | the gout or tetter, the rheumatism or the flu. And all these healers I have trusted, I've paid them money by the yard; I've had my ancient spine adjusted and I've boiled in ran- cid lard; I've taken pellets green and yellow, I've taken tablets Hat and square, and, guided by some healing fellow, consumed a horse's bill of fare. I've taken brown and brindled bitters, and pills that taste like toil- et soap; for he must rank with tin- horn quitters who doesn't sample every dope. And yet with all my ceaseless taking I'm where I was long years ago; and as my grand- sire's bones were aching, so my old| bones much anguish know. I read| how Science knocks diseases, and wipes out human aches and stings; I also read some other wheezes con- cerning pigs that fly with wings. The Science tales are most alluring, but while I read them in my lair, 1 wonder why we're still enduring rheumatics, mumps and falling hair, --WALT MASON.
