‘ . als who are getting somewhat tired of being the 3 Meting plate for the powers that seem to be run- " J5 ling the political affairs of the riding. The house- " - cleaning at the recent Liberal convention here is ; ’ ‘ still fresh news and from what can be gathered I, ‘ from different parts of the riding there is every prospect the old-time Liberals who are still true to their Liberal traditions have taken matters in their own hands and will vote Conservative rather than continue their support of the United Farmers party candidate. And why should they not do this? Since 1921 the electors of this riding have heard little politically except the shortcomings of the “two old parties”. Whether the party was Liberal or Con- servative, it had done little that was of benefit to the “common peeple” and either of them was not to be trusted when it came to legislating for the country as a whole. They were both tied up to the “big in- terests” and, like the octopus, destroyed all with whom they came in contact. Politically, a represent- ative of either of these two old parties was tied hand and foot to “party”, was not allowed, and could not if he would, think for himself, spent his time at Ottawa jumping sideways at the crack of the party whip and always voted for the measure which his party approved. This kind of talk went over quite successfully for ‘3 a time, but this year seems to be the one where pat- ‘ ience ceased to be a virtue.

The Lfieral convention of 1980, held about a month ago, revolted against the headquarters dom- ination that left them without a candidate, and while unsuccessful this year in putting a man in the field, the seed son at the 1930 convention will be productive of results at the next election.

If not, who has? The late sitting member of South-East Grey has never lost an opportunity of belittling either or both of these two old parties, and with no Liberal candi- date in the field it is the most natural thing in the world that they should combine to defeat the common enemy.

Briefly, the stumbling block seemed to be Hon. James DIM”, UIIV Dru-anv---.. ~--... _ laleolm, Minister of Trade and Commerce, who is contesting North Bruce. It was admitted at the convention here that Mr. Malcolm was having a hard time of it up in his riding with only a Conservative candidate in the field. With a Liberal candidate in this vinterest in South-East Grey at Liberal headquarters, and the local Liberals do not feel that they have been treated as they should. As a result, there is something of a revolt in South-East Grey, and old-time Liberals in a good many instances are coming out openly in support of Dr. Campbell, the Conservative candidate. And why should they not do so? Have not the Liberal and Conservative parties both in power and in opposition, been responsible more than any other parties, for the advancement of Canada ? Have they .' , Thur-by. July 17, 1930 better their financial condition in the business world. With this argument the Chronicle is in full accord. The farmers should have a business organization. Not only that, but they must have if they expect to further their business connections. With the compet- ition of modern'times, there is none of us who can “go it alone”. But there is a vast difference between an organization of industry, be it farmers or any- thing else, along business lines, and along political lines. The farmers should be organized as business *men, not as Conservatives, Liberals, United Farm- ers, or any other political association. A business ' organization might just as well organize along re- 3 ligious lines as political. It will fail in its dbjective as quicky in the one as in the other. But the farmers of South-East Grey just now, while told they should organize for business as a unit, are in the next breath told they should send to Ottawa as their representative one who is to fight their battles single-handed. With only two strictly farmer representatives in the last parliament east of the Great Lakes, and only twenty west, and none of them belonging to any politically organized party, the two arguments, business and political, do not fit in very well, and if one is to believe the first, in which “unity is strength” is the key-note, then one can be pardoned for wondering how the second is to function, and how the one lone representative from Jul-anvcc, v.-- -- South-East Grey is to secure more for the farmers of this riding than a representative chosen from either of the two old parties, which have a platform in advance to lay before the electors, and a sufficient number of members to form a government or a strong opposition. ‘ 7‘ __.z2‘II _-L vr'vâ€"u- vâ€" w â€"â€"â€"v There may be some of our readers who will not agree with us, but we think this is something worth considering before any ballots are cast. WE MISSED A TREAT Ye Editor and wife received an invitation last week to join with the ladies and congregation of the Presbyterian church in a veranda}: tea last Friday afternoon. Unfortunately for ourselves, we were 5 both out of town that day and could not be present. : There is no doubt we missed a lot by not being in at- tendance, but it is also possible our absence '(Ye Editor’s, we mean) saved us from considerable humiliation and the ladies of the church from con- sternation. If there is anything at which the “he- end” of this editorial family does not feel entirely comfortable, it is at these at homes and afternoon functions. We enjoy the society and all that, but ' when the time comes for “teaing-up” we get nervous. We have kicked around quite a lot on this mundane sphere in our short but interesting life, but if there is anything we do worse than any one other thing it is to look dignified on an occasion of this kind. We have practised at home times without number try?- ing to balance a saucer, a cup full of tea, a handful of cake, ice cream, and what not on the editorial knee, but just about the time we think we are “it” some- thing slips. The last few practises were held out in the barn after the front room at home was denied us. We expect to get time to clean out the place some day this fall when the summer work is over. For juggling a full-course dinner on the knee, being on the alert to grab any new creation in the eating line that is passed, and carry on an animated conversa- tion, we simply have to back up and resign ourselves to the weaker sex, whose agility along this line is appalling to us and must be marvellous even to themselves. We like tea, we like cake, and we like ice cream, but we’ll be hanged if we think we can learn to balance all the afternoon tea accessories on one small knee, hold something else in both hands, and appear dignified and society-like as we endeavor to pour the cream, help ourselves to the sugar and in- sert the eatables in that hole in our face that carries our teeth and mastication paraphernalia.

There is hardly a breath of passion to be found in his pages, crammed though they are with male cutthroats and malefactors. Maybe if he had given us a guilty love now and then he would have been more a real- ist, and would have escaped the re- proach of having addressed his stories mainly to the taste and intellectual ca- pacities of wholesome, sixteen-year- ,old boys instead of to unwholesome sixteen-year-old girls who provide the market for some of his more lauded For many years the world has been familiar with the story of how Doyle, the country physician, turned his idle hand to the fashioning of a story, and turned out, “A Study in Scarlet”, which introduced Holmes to the world. in the governors.
