HIGANBUTHAM, tetoDyoaJHus as it is called has been done and justifies in many instances the saying of Commissioner Campbell that the ,roads are bad all the time except in summer, and then the statute labor spoils them. '1‘ 0 one who cares; at all on this point and has heard the instructions of Mr. Campbell at Oak- wood and Lindsay, it is annoying to First-class laundry efiects can only be obtain- by a trained worker aided by the best .nachinery. We are satisfying most particular people because we have provided these essen- tials. One trial will convince anyone. see the utter neglect of his advice inl nearly every case of roadorepairing. The method ot making the road-bed rarely conforms, even roughly, to that recommended. We were at the Com- missioner’s meeting in Oakwood a few months ago, when men from all over that district heard his careful directions on the treatment of the bed. We have gone over several of the roads there this summer with that meeting in mind and confess an utter dis- couragement at the disregard of these directions that has been shown in repairing them. In many instances day has been piled up, even on top of a good gravel foundation.

It is pretty clear that the present system has had its day, and the amount of trafiic on the leading roads. demands that a new and more‘ effective one, shall take its place, The" remarks of a contemporary are to the point when it says : The statute labor system is suited to a pioneer age. It suits the abilities of the people' maki ing a home in a new country, and it suits the spirit of their circum~tances_ They feel keenly the need of improv- ing their roads, and work with a will earnestly and faithfully. 'lhat was the history of statute labor in the pioneer earnestly and faithfully. lhat Was the history of statute labor in the pioneer days of what are now the populous districts of Canada. But where the townships have grown wealthy-sand well-populated a different condition exists. To such an extent has statute labor degenerated that some townships find that they can do more work by commiting all the labor at thirty-five cents per day. If statute labor has not outgrown its usefulness, there is certainly need for reform when a man’s labor is worth less that thirty-five cents per day. At their convention in Fenelon Falls on Friday last the liberals of North Victoria took the first step toward over- whelmnlng defeat at the next genera1 election. It is appropriate that the ,un- lucky day of the week should have been chosen for that performance. It is only prophetic of the future, for as auto as elec- tion day comes will the reformers of the north meet an overthrow of which that sustained by those of the west in “1898 was but a foretaste. The prospects of the party are doomed in their leader. He is a defeated leader and the same causes that led to his defeat in the past are in existence to-day and will duplicate the disaster whenever the contest comes on. It was by no mere accident that Mr. Sam Fox swept the west riding at the last provincial election. 3 Apart from his own splendid popularity. ‘the fact that his opponent had proved himself incapable of representing the public in parliament was the cause of, his victory. For the same reason will 00!. Hughes be re-elect by an increased majority to represent the north. terms at Toronto he was [negative Iqusnti‘y. He originated no legislation, he proposed nothing for the benefit of his constituency. To serve his party by be- littling obedience to the commands of its leaders, and to vote machine-like, for the measures they presented was the sum of his service to his riding. The interests of the north half of this great county are too important to be placed in the keeping of any such men. The free end pro- greesive electors of that fast-developing country only wait for a chsnoe to repudiate such a record and re-elect 3 man who has the spirit of their liberty and progress, and the ability to give it expression in the councils and on the statutes of this province. In his nomination speech Dr. McKay is reported as having charged Col. Hughes with voting against his party. We can understand how such an act must take on the semblance of an awful crime in the eyes of a hide-bound partisan who never voted without being told, nor different from that telling. He makes a great mistake if he supposes an appeal to blind partisanship and machine politics is going to find any response among the electors of the north. The independent, fearless course of Col. Hughes is the very reflection of the spirit of the men he represents, and the craven appeal and record of Dr. McKay are sounding the death knell of his prospects before the battle is on. To utterly discredit Dr. McKay it is not necessary to compare him with an 11 and experienced p r arentarlau like Col. Hughes. Mr. Sam Fox has, in his first two sessions, displayed an activity in ‘ the public interest, that wholly justifies his selection. A man is not expected to shine as a great statesman, but he must exhibit that clear-sighteduess, alertness and activity by which the interests of the peopie he represents are safe-guarded, if ;he is to retain the suffrsgcs of those people. Mr. Fox has displayed these qviaities; Dr. McKay has not. It is because of this d:fi'erence in the men that the 1898 election went the way it did, and because (I the same difference between Col. Hughes and Dr. McKay will the same result in augmented firm, be announced on the next election ' night. The liberal nomination is the herald of conservative victory. A man with a good record is safe; 3 men with no record may be given 3 chance to meke one. but for the men who has bed e ehenee and shown himself In- equal to the talk the public he no use.
