There isno fun in being a newspaper editor around election time in South-East Grey any more. With a Grit government in oilice and no candidate in the field. a Tory candidate for a government that is not in power, and a representative of the riding who doesn’t belong to any government, just what can be said? At the outset the editor of this paper is Tory, has been all along, and so long as that party carries the protection of 0111‘ Canadian in- dustries, our Canadian farmers, and our Canadian citizens, in its party plank, it is likely we shall con- tinue being Tory. of the two old parties, one of which will always be in power at Ottawa. The majority of our brother editors seem to es- chew politics, but whether this is from fear or choice . they do not say. Some there are who wait until they can see which way the cat jumps, but these, in our opinion gain little. Pussyfooting around during an election campaign is something which the Chronicle never did, but in the present instance it might be a great deal easier than digging up political editorials. South-East Grey is certainly an Amos ’n‘ Andy riding, and like this pair, is in a “mess”. The more one reviews the “sitiation” the more “regusted” he becomes. In the meantime, we shall have to emulate Mr. Micawber and wait for something to turn up. At that, it is up to the electors of the riding. If they are satisfied to send a representative to Ottawa who is responsible for none of the legislation that is passed by either party, it is their own business, but until the constitution of our country is changed we can see no benefit in having this constituency repre- sented by anyone who is not connected with a recog- nized party and upon whose shoulders can be placed ‘ the responsibility of legislating for the general wel- fare of the country at large. In this election a journal like the Chronicle, and situated in a riding which is, one might say, not re- presented, can not take down the big pruning hook and go after the individual Grits. They are not responsible for what has been going on at Ottawa, for they have had no voice in it. Rather, we feel some- what sorry for them that their party has not seen fit to provide them with a candidate that they might express their convictions. We cannot very well go out and find fault with Miss Macphail. She was elected as a free lance, or independent, told her con- stituents at the nomination that if elected she was going to do as she pleased and has done it. And so it goes. We are certainly‘not going to find serious fault with Dr. Campbell, because he is one of us, but So far has never had the opportunity of showing his stuff down at Ottawa. But even with all these drawbacks, we are still Tory. It is our privilege in this great dominion and we intend to insist on it. In fact, we have no fight with anybody over his personal politics. That every man has the privilege of thinking as he likes politically is something no one can deny. As we said in the commencement, there is no fun in this riding any more for the newspaper that likes boosts it may give and take. We don’t know how the rest of the fraternity may feel about it, but the edi- tor of the Chronicle misses the old-time election cam- paigns when everything came 08 but the shirt when .

She is neither Grit nor Tory, but rather nits ground with both pstties seeking whom she msy de- sour. If the Grit Government gives us a lot of poor legislation, she is not responsible for it, because she is not of them. If the Tories do likewise she remains the same, for the same reason. You cannot criticise snyone who is not in a position of responsibility. And this is the position in which any of these “third THE THREE-PARTY SYSTEM 'l'hunday, June 6, 1930 LIQUOR AT DANCES for a night’s innocent amusement. The Standard is right. There should be no liquor consumed at public gatherings of this kind, and there must be something wrong with the young man who cannot enjoy him- self on occasions like this without a bottle. This admission will doubtless be used as an argu- ment against Government Control, but as a matter of fact Government Control seldom has anything to do with it. For the one person who carries liquor to a dance there are a hundred who do not, and amongst those who may take a drink in their homes, or who may keep it on their premises at all times, there are few instances where they will tote a bottle to a public dance. Bottle toting is a child of the Ontario Tem- perance Act, and previous to 1916 it was seldom that this thing was practised. In the old days of the bartheman whocarriedaflaskwasregarded as pretty far down the ladder by those who would in- dulge, and as for taking it to dancing parties it was something very rarely heard of. It is a habit that became popular with a certain element during the war time and has not yet been discarded. But the practice is growing less. But are the boys wholly to blame? We have ' al- ways been of the opinion that some of the onus must be placed on the shoulders of the lady dancers them- selves. They have submitted to the practice, possibly not with good grace, but with no very vociferous ob- jections. Let the women put their foot down on it and those who simply must have their toddy during a dance will soon disappear. Boys are like grown-ups were when they were younger. They like to appear just a little different than the other fellow, and sometimes start out to see just how much they can get away with. So far, they may have been having their “jolt” occasionally be- tween dances, but have met with no Opposition. Let the girls refuse point blank to dance with those of the opposite sex who come around smelling like young distilleries and the drinking will soon stop. It may take a certain amount of nerve for a girl to “turn down” a boy friend with whom she is well acquainted and perhaps likes, but it will st0p him drinkingâ€"at the dance, anyway. Young ladies, and girls, you have it in your own hands. Don’t blame Reginald because he gets “lit up” at your party. Tell him to do his guzzling at some time when you are not around and see how successfully it will work out. There are still a number who see politics in ev- erything and some who do not hesitate to state that the principal reason why there is no paving to be done between Mount Forest and Chatsworth this summer is because .both Greys, north and south, fail- ed to return a Conservative member to the Legisla- ture. The ridings with the Tory members are pick- ing the plums. Nothing could be farther from the truth, and as this paper pointed out some weeks ago, the actions of the Ontario Highways Department tell the whole story if one but cares to stop and examine good one. It is true that this spring it became rather rough, but this has been remedied, and with the gra- velling and oiling in progress it will be a question whether it is not as satisfactory to drive on as the concrete. Mention has been made that the roadway between Owen Sound and Collingwood, to link up with Barrie and Toronto, or points north, is now under construc- tion. This is to be a paved road and will be completed to Meaford this year. From Meaford to Thornbury grading is going on and stone being used for surfac- ing while the road from Thornlbury to Collingwood is graded, stoned and oiled. From Collingwood to Wasaga Beach tenders are being asked for grading. {and from Wasaga to Stayner and on to Barrie the road has been gravelled and oiled and is in first-class condition. Once past Collingwood the county of Grey is left behind and we merely refer to these roads to show that Grey County is being treated with every consideration by the Ontario Highways Department. Another feature of the roads now being built in the county is that all grades are being cut down to six per cent.. Under the system in force when the road was put the road through Durham the grading was reduced to seven per cent. It might be interesting to note that paving today costs approximately $24,000 per mile to complete. There is a stretch of approximately forty miles from Owen Sound to CollingWood. Take your pencil and figure it out for yourself to find the grand total that is to be spent in roads in this section in the next two years. The Highways Department cannot pave all the roads in the' province in one year, and it is a mis- take for anyone to think that just because there is little activity between Owen Sound and Mount Forest that the Highways Department is falling down on the job or has ceased operations. _ A. vvâ€"ccv â€"â€"vvâ€" .
