It is time to announce the prin- Zmles of. the new Altruistic Party. I have purposely delayed their pub- lication, wishing thereby to create interest in a plan that might be successful, that should be successful, in the interests of everyone, but that will require a great amount of patience, sacrifice, enthusiasm, leader- ship and hard work. Because I know, that notwith- standing the sneers, jeers and laugh- » am going to enunciate a plan, tI would bring the universal pros- perity, to every human being, not the select few. And I shall, of course, offend the well off, and the stereotyped. Except and this is probable, they treat it as a huge joke, and I, the joker. It is a passing comment on the times, that many have dgueried me personally, wishing to know if I were serious or not, or was I making fun? To these I have answered, as I state now: That it is a subject of much fun to me, not because I would be humorous, but that I cannot help it. In my maturing years, the survey of human seccial and political life does make me laugh, not with the boisterous bellow of the bacchant, but rather with the sardonic sneer of Mephistopheles. It 1s truly, to laugh. We suffer the ills of poverty and discontent, in a most bountiful Para- dise, and of our own fault. We are hopelessly paralysed, or at least it seems so, by the ultra Tory, equally with the loud mouthed demagogue. I have no more faith inh the raucous bleatings of the spell-binder than 1 "have in the silent superciliousness of the patrician. : Each in his selfishness, accom- plishes nothing for us, and we bring nothing to an issue ourselves. We stamp ourselves, Liberal, Con- servative, Labour, Progressive, Social- ist and Communist, with unthought selfishness. In some cases, we inherit our views, in others our environment 'makes them. But we think first, last and always of ourselves. And what has it got us? : We are nearing two elections, vincial almost immediately, and Fed- eral not very far distant. We shall divide into camps. We shall cheer our hero politician, when he orates to us, we shall listen with restrained politeness when our enemy takes the platform. We have decided already which way we shall vote, and no ergument will prevail with us, except the one we like. And dafter the vot- ing day, what? Well, the citadel of the rich man is still inviolate, and the home of the poor man, wide open to invasion. : Is it to laugh? Well I ask you! What fundamental difference will have taken place- Will ithe hours of labour be shortened; will our inde- pendence be more secure; will the sugar bowl and flour bin be fuller: or the menace of sickness and old age be less? ¢ and Pro- fore, let me laugh. chuckle with me, for nothing is so saving. And in such mood do not ask me to be serious. Bore it into your minds, and burn it deep, that notwithstanding what vou learned in Sunday Schoel, you are selfish, and do not flay me, when I rub it in, by saying that you are short-sightedly selfish. Foolish with- out knowing it, helpless in your ig- norance, and unwise, lacking in in- tuition, when you : accuse me flippancy. And if it does admit that I am eternal and heathenish of life, I have to be. have to be. A Tory is no more selfish than a Grit, an American no less nationalis- tic than an Englishman. Did you notice any selfishness at the Econ- omic Conference or did you see any Union Government endure? This is not vapouring, but prologue to the general plan of my Altruistie Party. I would not be true, nor would 1 be correct, if I stated that old politi- cal parties have done nothing for us. There has been a constant progress in all the turbulence of mankind. The sacred minority has had to yield bit by bit, but has at oppertune times been astute enough to change political forms. The power of kings, satraps, barons governors, has been replaced by money power. Yes, the poor votzs now, down-trodden womankind can now hustle to the polls, but were the serfs of Kgypt, Assyria or Babylon, the Helots of Sparta or the slaves of Rome, much worse off than the helpless unemployed of large cities of our day? We have though, the semblance of being better off. And so let us laugh at the idiocy of the Aliruist, seeking to accomplish by two skips and a jump, more than the doings of mill- eniums. Let us have a good laugh meanwhile. Next week the plan.

J. Wilkinson. Mem - bers who have not received a copy may obtain one by applying to the Secretary. The Fair date this year is Septem- ber 14th, and it will be noted that the exhibition will be held on one day only. It is hoped that slaging the entire show on the one day may make a more interesting Fair and at the same time cut down expenses. There is a good prize list supple- mented by a fine list of specials and it is now up to the agricultural- ists themselves to make the Fair a success. Plan your entries now and make this exhibition one that will be a credit to our district.
