Ye 9s » Dr. Ross has told the electors what he fs against and what he is for, he has declared himself in favor of a clean, upstanding Canadianism, and the Dpullding up of our own country for our own people, but he has failed to tell us whether "our own people" simply means the Con- servatives, or whether those "dis- gruntled" and "degraded" groups that Dr. Ross advocates where fam!- lies are never broken up and where the cream of our youth is kept right at home whether they want to stay or not. What the people want to-day is constructive statesmanship and not scandal-mongering. They are sick of scandal and muck-rak- ing, Having before them the un- mistakablel record of the King Gov- ernment' during the last five years outside of the Conservative party are | i to share inv this wonderful Utopin , "de eastern highways should be in | the best that can be said of the latq | they will make no mistake.

HELP OUT A VERY DEAR FRIEND. TO We are so busy helping to sive the country these days that we don't have much time for the social ameni- ties of life, But we must pause for 4 few moments in the midst of the | greatest election campaign since {Fiskin and Slumkey met at Batons- will, to give a little private informa- | tion to our esteemed Princess Street cotem. # In its issue of Wednesday, Sep- tember 1st, It asks with tender solicitude about some of "the boys of the old brigade." It is an honest seeker after the truth and it would 5 selfish on pur part to withhold what we know. "Where In this campaign," it asks, 'are men like Hom. Chas. Murphy, Hon. Raoul Dandurand, Sir Lomer Gouin, Hon, T. A. Low, Hon. James Murdock, Hon. Dr. King and Hon. E. J. Murray." We might reply oy asking where Is Sir George Foster, General Mewburn, Sir Robert Bo,. den, and other boys of yesteryear, but we won't do it. A fair question { has been asked. Let it be ahswered | fairly. X | Hon. Raoul Dandurand. The lat- {est information we have on Raoul we get from the editorial pi of our contemporary of September 1st. In column one it asks where Raoul Is, Tn column two it tells us tha on Sunday afternoon he was speak- ing at a Liberal gathering in La- chine. We have nothing more re- cent than that so must therefore re- fer editorial writer No. 1, of our cotem to editorial writer No. 2. | Hon. Charles Murphy. Last we Jeard of Charlie was that he had issued a writ for libel against the Toronto Telegram. We imagine Charlie is still on the %). Hon. T. A. Low.

DREADFUL HIGHWAYS IN EAST. ERN ONTARIO. Eastern Ontario is f8d up with annoyances due to the condition of the provincial highways. Tourists are on edge over the worries they are put to through dangerous de- tours, both east and west of King- ston. The complains are insistent and the newspaper offices are con- stantly appealed to "to pound the highways department for the de- plorable state of the roads and the abominable detours thu. nave to be covered." It is a crime that in the very height of the tourist season, such a lamentable state. The towns from Port Hope to Brockville, and from Kingston to Ottawa are arous- ed over the neglect of the highways department in permitting the roads to fall into such a state of disrepair. Some contractors, such as McGinnis and O'Connor, are _thkoughtful enough to care for the tourists by making half the road at a time, but others rip up everything and for weeks and weeks long, dreary, and sometime dangerous, detours have to be made, delaying traffic and discommoding people to a great ex- tent, For weeks past as already stated, the newspapers have been inundat- ed with complains and letters, the most recent being fromm Mr G. T. Fulford, jr., Brockville, who speaks of a portion of the road near uan- anoque as '"'a menace to public safety" and that in "the entire dis- tance across the continent last fall, he encountered nothing comparable to it." Here is adother opportunity for the newly-formed Bastern Ontario Chamber of Commerce to act, to register a decidedly strong protest, and to urge that the highways be so safeguarded that Eastern Ontario will not get a black eye in the ests mation of the great tourist army that sweeps all over the province. Good highways are essential if the great traffic of tourists is to be maintained. The Eastern organiza tion should insist that the highways hereabouts should be so efficient that the troubles of 1926 will not be repeated in 1927, EDITORIAL NOTES. The Meighen Cabinet is unimpres. sive. Few. of them can find a place on the hustings. The person who gives money ex- pecting to be a tariff beneficiary thinks he is making a good invests ment. Signs accumulate of a growing feeling in the United States towards cancellation or a further revision of the British and allied war debts to that country. It would be a blessing if we could get rid of money in politics. The sudden oncoming of the election found the party funds low. Is that|. why Mr. Meighen chose five million- aires for his new cabinet? The school children at-Broadview, Sask., were asked, Who is Mr. Mel shen? One classed him as a movie actor and another fHought he was the author of the phraze: "Every day in every way we are getting bete ter and better." ---------- Some insects live after thelr a 00d and it stil has a Kick. |: Some things have more "brains their heels than in r v They Can't Explain I" Away] | | | | | | mastering one word each day. | | { | | | | | | he i | (Toronto Star) | | Unable any longer to deny the im- | | proved state of the country the] | Montreal Gazette is hard put to it} | to explain that these bettered id { ditions are not due to the King gO¥- | | ernment or the budgets of Hon. | | James.
