‘3‘ WE» RV THE LINDSAY POST LINDSAY, FRIDAY, OCTOBER straight Conservatives and the other twenty are Nationalists or Monk Con- servatives. Hence it is figured out that Mr. Borden’s majority over the Lib- eralsis very small. With regard to the cabinet, the Journal nan that there should be three French-Canadian members, but its information is that everyone of the twenty French-Cana- dian Conservatives or Nationalists is directly pledged against naval expen- diture. How can Mr. Borden take any of these into his cabinet ? How can he take Mr. Monk, who, though half English, is also opposed to the navy? The Toronto Mail and Empire which doubtless expresses the views 01011â€" tario Conservatives, has made a cab- inet slate which includes Mr. Perley, Mr. Doherty, and Mr. Monkhbut Mr. Monk is against the navy and it is difficult to see how he or any French- Canadian member would be acceptable to Mr. Borden.

Lindsay Proprieton. 6th year the French-Canadian members delivered an ultimatum that unless it was agreed that no resolution should‘ be oflered on the naval question, not a French-Canadian Conservative would attend, and on this account the con- vention was_aband6ned. . It is perfect- ‘ly clear, either that the French-Cana- dian Conservatives and Nationalists must abandon their opposition to the naVy. which they have declared they will not do, or the Frenchâ€"Canadians willlbe practically without represen- tation in the cabinet of Mr. Borden. It is needless to observe that this would mean trouflnie for Mr. Borden. a few years he will discover that it is practically impossible to secure a safe majorityo {the right sort of‘ representatives. Sometimes, through rare good fortune, we are able to induce enough of the right sort to of- fer themselves as candidates, and there are occasions, by rarer good fortune, that we are able to elect I these men. Ordinarily, hOWever, it is the other Way. Q (Hamilton Spectator) Mayor Lees, after listening to ad- dresses extolling the commission form of municipal government, returns from Chicago, still unconvinced that such a system is any improvement upon our town. Hisidea is that our system is all right, provided we elect the right sort of representatiVes. In“ cidentally almost any sort of system might work acceptably if the right sort oi men were always sure of el- ection, as the best system to be de- vised would surely iail were incompe- tents placed in control. The Spectator has favored Commis- sion rule for cities of size because we believe strict business methods should apply in their management and we have yet to hear of any other mu- nicipal system where that is the case, not excepting on: own patchwork at- fair of controllers-abdermen. When Mayor Lees has been in municipal life There are very few capable men in Canadian cities, sa situated as to be able to give of their time as it should be given to manage municipal bIdI- ; as it should be managed. That is i why we voted for aboard of control where we felt we could beassured of at least four capable business manag- ers looking after our municipal inter-. ests on salary. But while the board of control is an improvement on the old aldermanic system, it has its weak spots, and is by no means the ideal i system. And in spite of the fact that Mayor Lees cannot see any advantage in the commission form of governâ€" I ment over our own system, we still have faith in the experience of cities. that have experimented with the com-9 mission system, proved it and found it exceedingly goal. ‘ “It did not seen: possible to us that the Canadian people could be in- fluenced by the cry of “annexation."

Even the leaders of the Conser‘ vative party are astounded; not one of them, even 1i: his wildest and most enthusiastic moments, predicted such a landslide. “As we said yesterday, Reciprocity would have been a blessing to both countries, but the failure of Recipro- city will bring ruin to nm'ther.

We have exciting; elections in this country now ands then, but not in half acentury hasf there been in American politics suchi distortion, such misrepresentationp such absolute silliness ashave char- i acterized the Canadian campaign just closed. If some Canadian newspaper f had said that an American army was marching to the capture of Canada lhalf the Canadian people would have 'believed it. And yet there should not .have been the slightest doubt in the : xmind of any Canadian about the. ,irie'ndly purposes of the United States :No hostile act had been committed; ’no aggressions had been planned, no unkind words had been spoken.

The sweeping defeat of the Pact was one Of the big surprises of Uncle Sam’s stirring career. President Taft's amazement and disappointment were reflected in the minds of millions of lesser citizens.

Mr. Borden had {served five years in Parliament, when, .in 1901, he was elected to take the p1ace of Sir Charles Tupper as head of the Conservative party. In the ten {years he has been leader of the Op- position, his record shows him to be aman of statesmanlike calibre, of exemplary honesty and sincerity of 3purpose and of decidedly progressive {tendencies He is not an old fashioned nor reactionary legislatot, but, on the contrary. has always advocated .fuptodate and even radical policies where these seemed neCessary to the 'growth and development of the Do- minion.

Exceptionally fable men were pitted against each other in the recent battle; aside from the Reciprocity issue, the public was bound to benefit no matter who was victorious. The new ministry should, therefore compare favorably with the most capable in the country’ 5 history.

RATHER LIVELY DISCUSSION IN THE COUNCIL OVER THE SEYMOUR C0. AGREEMENT The Seymour Power Co. agreement was a. subject over which a wordy battle was waged at the Council meet ing last night. It was started over a. suggestion of Ald. Smale that the Mayor call the Council tOgether at a special meeting on Wednesday evening. at which Mr. Mulholland, of the Seymour Co. would probably be present, when the agreement between the Seymour 00. and the town could be considered and signed by those empowered to do so, and then the withdrawal of the pur- chase might he proceeded with.

The town, by purchasing the plant could have the same rates as was offered under the franchise.
