M The trouble toâ€"day is that young novitiates in culture with an eye to Ph.D.‘s and assistantâ€"professorships, are writing on the art of government withouts having had any experience whatever in the dusty arena of politiâ€" cal strife. With an insoucience which is appalling these babblers of learned scraps advance theories in d§- fiance of psychological and biological tendencies that are as old as the hut man race.. They have learning but not wisdom, theory but not experience and at the first breath of reality, as a rule, the dream palace of words vanishes and leaves "not a wrack beâ€" hind." Now that the paper shortage is so acute their books may at last have‘ some value. It is a rather groâ€" tesque situation when â€"you come to think of it. The professor of political economy who, to save his soul, couldâ€" r‘t run a country store, lays down the law to big and brainy men who are actually making good and daily inâ€" ereasing the capital of the world by their courage, keen intelligence, sciâ€" entific efficiency and tireless energy. The radical Labox leaderâ€"the biggest kumbug of them all and the shallowâ€" est and most insincereâ€"prates conâ€" @inually about the rights of labor and forgets his duty to the State. Claimâ€" mg a monopoly of altruism he is the least altruistic, the least reasonable, e the least patriotic of all the empty pack. Those who, to save their necks, are unable to correctly draw even the simplest outlines in wblack and white (the true test of craft!).splotch the _canvas with hideous colors and sneer at Van Dyke. Those unable to puncâ€" tuate, parse, scan or even use words in their root significance produce verâ€" bal messes that pass for poetry with fools, on whom their parents or the State has wasted what is called. "a good education." But occasionally, thank God! a voice of genuine Ssincerâ€" ity is heard yand such a voice comes to us from Sabre Ranch, Pine Lake, Alberta, in the form of a little pamphâ€" Fet written on the eve of a Farmers‘ Congress by a certain Henry Frank Lawrence, the object of said pamphâ€" let being to warn his fellowâ€"agriculâ€" turists against the baneful blandishâ€" ments of certain labor Bolsheviks inâ€" tent on playing the old game of the trapper and the Indianâ€"‘"You take the buzzard and I‘ll take the turkey;. or I‘ll take the turkey and you take the buzzard." ~It is precisely because Mr. Lawrence writes as a farmer to; farmers that what he has to say is so . interesting and valuable. ‘ "I would direct your notice to the Following truisms: That class organiâ€" zation precedes all class legislation, and class legislation in its fulfilment leads to class domination." leads to class domination." | â€"‘"In repeating this I am making a This shrewdâ€"eyed observer is under [ statement which fears no contradicâ€" no delusion as to what the radical tion.

This shrewdâ€"eyed observer is under no delusion as to what the radical laborites are after. ‘"Pals for life," eh. Not on your life! I quote: The radical labor leaders are very glib in demanding justice for their followers, but never a word passes their lips of the rights of the average citizen. . He indeed is supposed "to suffer and be kind."> But does manâ€" ual labor alone possess rights? What about the rest of us? We are, to be sure, only 8 millions as against 248 thousand; but what about us? Our rancher goes on swinging the sabre of BRis logic and cleaving through the flimsy fallacies of the time. He puts it thus: ; The pamphlet in question, which is entitled, "What is Agriculture‘s Fuâ€" ture Attitude towards Organized Laâ€" bor," begins: The problem was never more clearâ€" ly stated. The true source of Abraham Linâ€" coln‘s power was that he was actuâ€" ally one of the commion people. There was something elemental, almost cosâ€" mic, in his understanding of the averâ€" age person. He was the representative of the. universal average clarified, simplified and raised to majesty by a deep and compelling sincerity. As time rolls on his large, simple wisdom, deep, but not embittered, melancholy, fundamental sympathy, unquestioning faith in the validity of conscience and honor will be more and more apprecâ€" iated by mankind.* As Lord Charnâ€" wood beautifuily expresses it in his recent‘ noble ‘"Life of Lincoln," "He passed into the far country where there is neither aristocrat nor demoâ€" crat." The masterâ€"key to the enigma of his personality was a deep, passionâ€" ate, unshakable belief in the ideal of mational unity. He. hated slavery primarily because he foresaw, with prophetic insight, that if it remained unchecked it would in time shatter the Union and render futile the greatâ€" est single experiment in the art of government ever entered upon by the human race. Therefore it was that whatever Lincoln said, wrote or did, was clothed with power. ‘"He spoke as one having authority and not as the scribes." \fetiet vetnedtetiznt ocms ~peivrtndine JAS, C. HODGINS Abbeyheit, Brampton. To the Farmers of this District ‘Some time ago I wrote an article in Saturday Night entitled, "Come Into My Parlor." My object was to show that an alliance between Reformers and the Tradeâ€"Unionists against the rest of the community would be disastrous to the whole of Canada. It attracted the attenâ€" tion of a Mtr. E. Frank Lawrerrc{, Sabre Ranch, Alberta, who enclosâ€" ed a copy of a pamphlet, which he wrote on the eve of an attempt of the "One Big Union‘" to capture a farmer‘s convention. It was so wise, so thoughtful, ~so fair, that the editor of Saturday Night asked me/to make an article of it. â€" Its value is that it was. written by â€" a farmerâ€"of thirtyâ€"five years‘ experiâ€" ence to. farmers.. For hard, clear reasoning and a noble. »style, it would be. hard to beat. pame ce es e e on e e on A Voice from Alberta By James C. Hodgins, Brampton A R M AaAnNDo H O M E. Ei EiE e e o n n nc ocm i "In the coming changes the farmâ€" ‘iqg community can neither afford to !be driven or entrapped. We must Icontrol our ownâ€"destinies and seek | that Godâ€"given intuition which will ‘enable us to follow the example of fthose giants of our common history ‘‘There will be no greater test of our mentality than our discernment of the shallow idealism and immoderâ€" ation which is too frequently Oobscurâ€" ing and confusing the truer issues at stake. That immoderation threatens to become the destroying element of our age." Hitherto we have, as it were, been following along the margin of a pelâ€" lucid stream, but as we near the end we find ourselves at the mouth of a wide deep river which rushes gloriousâ€" ly seaward. The final paragraphs are dignified and powerful and full of a really noble music. Listen: who in many a crisis for their counâ€" try‘s good courageously unfurled their sails to the morning of the world.‘ "As already stated, a large proporâ€" tion of the farmers are curiously backward in their realization that they represent more completely than any other class the capital and true wealth of their country. ‘"‘There can be no greater or more delusive folly than the one that to ourselves are reserved paths of hithâ€" erto untrodden virtue. The farmers may by a correct attitude balance the political scales in favor of a greater moderation in all things, if they themselves possess that quality, but to obtain such a desirable result there must be more comprehensive leaderâ€" ship than has so far been apparent.‘" Were . the following paragraphs written for the special delectation of the Hon. Mr. Drury and the members of the Uâ€"F.CO.2 "It promises ill for the future of an agricultural party that at the start o its political adventure it failed to recâ€" ognize a more important work ready to its hands than an unnécessary and foolish entanglement which, sooner or later, will contribute to disaster. And how is this for a solid chunk of wisdom: ‘ ‘In our further analysis of the diâ€" versities of those interests, we are at the very outset of our investigation confronted with the knowledgeâ€"that it is to the gain of all Labor to keep its wages high and the cost of living low, and in complete contrast to this we are too well award that farming communities‘ great struggle has been to keep down the cost of production, and to keep up the market value of all it produces. The farmer has no quarrel with the long hours he is comâ€" pelled to work, they are inseparable from a farmer‘s occupation, but he may well look askance at an cightâ€" hour day which Labor is now agitatâ€" ing to curtail to six. Need we furthâ€" er investigate; could there be greater travesties than these?" "Barkis (in the person of Mr. Jas. Simpson, e.g.) is willin‘," no doubt (and all other admirers of the Soviet) but let them pick this bone and see if they can find any meat to their liking: ‘"Year in and year out the farmer of the West strove in vain for its (the tariff‘s) abatement, and as persistentâ€" ly throughout the length and the breadth of the Dominion every Labor faction thwarted our endeavor to obâ€" tain relief, and upheld at the polls its trust in high protection." In the opinion of our rural friend the reason why the farmers of the North West organized. for political ends is to be found in the tariff. He hintsthat the farmers in the east have not the same cause of complaint; at least not to the same extent; and in this he is right. Compared with the average business man the, Ontario farmer gets off lightly.. Where, inâ€" deed, would he be without our splenâ€" did_ manufacturing towns ? But, granted the tariff is a grievance, who, up to date, has been chieflyâ€"instruâ€" mental in defeating revision in favor of agricultural implements and other articles necessary to farm production ? Why, the very men who now seek to use the farmers for revolutionary ends. Here is a compact paragraph which puts the situation in its right perspecâ€" tive. Come all ye bluff yeomen and list to these words: "A large proportion of the farmers have been curiously backward in recâ€" ognizing that in their ownership of land, of cattle and of gear, they repreâ€" sent more completely than any class the capital and potential wealth of their country." Again: "It is owing to these unexaggerated probabilities we are compelled to recâ€" ognize, that before we permit ourâ€" selves to in any way become further entangled in the turmoils of Labor, we must in selfâ€"preservation ask: Does Labor seek a working. coâ€"operation with Capital, or is it suicidally seekâ€" ing the destru;tion of Capital? And what is of equal importanceâ€"Has Laâ€" bor any limit to any programme?" But this is not all., This sturdy yeomanâ€"(may his tribe increase!) has a very clear, conception of the fact that the farmer is a capitalist with a capital "C." Heis, in fact, the capiâ€" talist par excellence. ‘"Hear him!‘" as Mr. Jefferson Brick remarked on a certain occasion: and is realizing that within this counâ€" try it cannot be «athieved unless through the abetment of a proportion of the agricultural community. , But if they who arevlistening toâ€" Labor‘s blandishment will look beneath the surface of such a compact they canâ€" not fail to discover its weakness or its idle worth." gather strength for the fetich of. my One Big Union.‘ / "Few are failing to perceive in the now rapidly unfolding. development that labor unionism is seeking â€" the more rapid accomplishment of a long cherished dream of class domination, other we shall not fail to discover our best friend.‘ And in an aside to itself: ‘Here is an element I may prove myâ€" self unable to control, but L will for the time being join forces with it and wather streneth for the fetichâ€" ofâ€"my Cream of Bean Soup One cup dried beans, 3 pints_cold water, 2 slices onion, 4 slices carrots, * o~ Dr.Harrissn C.Roos DENTAL SURGEON Office: Bank of Montreal RBldg Main and John St., Weston Phone 295 Baked Bean Tamale Two cups baked beans with pork and juice, 2 cups hot mashed potato, 2 eggs, seasonings, salt and pepper to taste, 2 cups tomatoes, 1 onion, 1 cup ripe olives.
