A Masquerade & WALDHOF, Qct 28.--The Masquerade 4 in aid of Dryden Red Cross Hospital will be held on November 7th instead of the 14th as previously announced in the "Observer". The Waldhof women have taken this matter in hand, and this should be = gua ee for a grand success--and & nice som for the Hospital. Me A. Allin has taken a small con- tract to build a half mile of road fou the Northern Development Branch. * Mr G. Spreng made a round trip from herve to Fort William, and back along the C.N.R. He reports that the rest of the world is nearly as blue as our own vicinity, or perhaps a few grades bluer. Our people are very much disap- pointed with the result of the Plebiscite about the sale of liquor and real beer. But on optimist says we have no money any way, so why worry. Threshing is progressing very rapid- ly, the wonderful fall weather is a veal godsend and the results are very satis- factory. We will have quite a few bags of Alsike and Clover Seed = for export. i ; Last Week the Eagle River Wel- fare Club held a Social Evening in the Waldhof Community Hall.

Take the question of freight rates, the Conservative leader has always said that these should be fixed by the Railway Commission specially created for this purpose as the only body competent to do so. This posi- tion he took in 1922, and he has main- tained it. The King Government has not had It has had its eye on the political side of this matter just as much as on any other. With it the quesion has not teen what, in the eyes of competent experts, is a fair rate, but what will get by policitally. This explains why the Government has heen dodging the freight rates' issue since it entered office. It was lack of courage to take a stand on this subject that got the country into all the trouble over the Crow's Nest Pass commodity rates this vear. The Government was told what would happen, but it took a chance and! the business interests of the country suffered. During all this time the Government did not offer a single con- structive idea for the solution of this vexed problem. They acted as though it was no concern of theirs. : But the Right Honourable Arthur Meighen did not dodge the issue. He met it squarely. In effect he said: "You can't afford to allow the situa- tion as respects freight rates to con- tinue, for it will be fatal to business. We have a Railway Commission ap- pointed to deal with freight rates, and the only course to take is to turn the whole matter over to it. Until this is done there will be nothing but dissatisfaction. = In the meantime you will have to cancel the rates that are causing all the trouble. The shippers recently took the question to the Railway Commission which promptly adopted the course which Mr IMeighen said would have to be taken. The Commission ordered the with- drawal of the rates that have been - cuasing the trouble and asserted its right with the whole subject of rates. Dodge as he might, the Right Hon. MacKenzie King and his Government have had- to face this problem. They have done all the dodging they can get away with, and now they have to face he music. And what did the Premier my at Vancouver recently? Why, he had to take the position assumed by the Right Hon. Arthur Meighen long 2g0, and admit that the Railway Com- mission was the only body competent to deal with railway rates. This is another tribute to the Con- servative Leader's courage in meeting a problem face to face. Like a wise counsellor, whose advice is sought, he frankly tells the country what will have to be done. Sometimes the ad- vice may be rather unpleasant, but he would rather tell the truth and run risk of displeasure, than act the part of a hypocrite. After all, such a policy will win out with the country, for those who have important interests at stake cannot-afford to take chances on an artful dodger.
