THE POST AND THE AGRICUL- TURAL CLASSES. The Post is certainly in most das- perate straits when it finds it neces- am to bolster up a case for Mr. Stewart by such false statements as were cantained in an editorial in; last night’s paper. The editorial1 is 'Wrongly headed “ Plansible Inac- butane-s "- Such a. heading is most! misleading for the Post’ 3 inaccuracâ€"i i6 are in thi s instance lacking even to-gether.

He : iexpreseed his doubts about the town - alone taking up the question. but ' he was . eeable if the county would 1 fully suggrort the town in the mat- - ter. When Mr. Stewart went before the County )Council with the deputa- tion .and heard Mr. C. C. James, .

To state that Mr. Stewart was in any way re» sponsihle for the SECURING of this good thing is simply to tell a. bare, unvarnished, and bold 6Id campaign ‘:‘ V.-- â€".â€"v county to take up the matter.

D. Plavelle and Mr. John Carew‘, both members of the Board of Education. and both men whose presentation of a case may be safely depended on ‘for faCts and for a straight business- {like stating of the essential points. ’What Mr. Flavelle and Mr. Carew have to say about the matter will‘ be found in the report of the Com- servative meeting on page one of this issue. No one here know anything about the agricultural classes until Mr. Fox came before the Board of Edu- cation with the question practically in his hands. Mr. Fox had _ been able to show Mr. Whitney the ad- vantages of this county. as one of the Centres that it only remained for the Board of Education and the ney Government and Mr. Fox for the agricultural department here which is of untold benefit to this riding and district. n -w- â€"â€".,- ral Government could not put its bright ideas into practice in thirty- three years, then ‘it .was l'n'gh time that a, Government was secured that could. The Liberals were always ‘high on promiSes and low on prac- tice. The fact of the matter is, how- ever, that the idea did originate un- der the Whitney Government, and unâ€"‘ der the WhitneyGovernment to orig-‘ inate a good idea is to have that idea. put. into practice. The peeple of this county can thank the Whit- sirous of accepting any doubtful help they may give him or whether heywill give the axis-statements, the unequi- Vooal denial they so well merit. Mr. Stewart went a. long way out of his tracks: to lecture the Warderjon news- paper, ethics, will he stand by de- cency and fairness now and give ‘some‘ shadow of rebuke to mon- strous misrepraentation in his ‘ own organ ? j The claim of the Post that Hon.
