The Libonl majority in Thouh nnd Cannington is wholly attributed to bribery. In Brock and Scott an eflort was made to subvert the allegiance of the Orangemeu. Several outside mem- bers of the order are said to have visited the riding. ostensibly to sup- port Mr, Foster, but in reality they advocated his defeat. In the csse of the Otangemen, the efforts of the outsiders failed, us they remained true to the Conservative candidate.

Geo. E Foster mus: be attributed to a number of reasons. many of which had no con- nection with one another. It is wide of thMark to represent the farmers as generally hostile to protection. We have the suspicion that among no element of our popu- lation is protectionist sentiment stronger than among the farmers of Ontario. The tariff seems to have succeeded prohibition as the nursery of can’t and humbug in Canadian politics. The election is represented as a de- clarstiou against protection. \Ve doubt very much, however, if that issue turned a score of votes in the whole riding. On the tarifi there is not much of on issue between the two parties. The Liberal Govern- ment maintains a tsrifl strongly lesvened with protectionism, and, ilit remains in power, that tariff will go higher just as soon as it is clear that the country demands an increase of duties. It is, perhaps, not worth while to enquire deeply into the cause of Mr. Foster’s defeat. Aside from the pOpularity ol the Liberal candidate. the fact that in all the towns the Liberal vote was increased has a meaning which students of present day politics cannOt misunderstand.l It may be possible also that the rem- nant of the Patrons, which still hangs tOgether in North Ontario. supported Mr. Grant rather than Mr. Foster. This same element. however, pro- bably supported the Liberal candi- date in the last general election. and therefore the fact proves nothing. So far as we can ifind, not‘ much fault is to be found with the attitude of the Conservative leaders towards Mr. Foster’s candidature. There were a few implacables, who nursed defeated ambitions, but this feeling was not wide-spread. Even Sir Mac- Kenzie Bowell was induced to write a letter in support of his old col- league. Both the country and the Conser- Vative party sulers through the de- [eat 0! Mr. Foster in North Ontario. It is true that his oponent developed into a strong candidate, and will no doubt represent the constituency creditably at Ottawa. But there is just now a special need that the op- position bc strengthened. “’ith the exception of Mr. Borden, no other‘ man in the Conservative party in the Commons )8 the equal of Mr. Foster in debating ability and in knowledge ’ of public questions.

But this “There is not in the history of Canadian politics a more shameful and sordid story than that which has just been told in the Legislature. It isapitiful revelation of what men will do in the desperate game of party 'politics. A Minister of the Crown. sworn to the faithful dis- charge of his great and‘ responsible duties under our system of govern- ment, is lmpelessly involved in acon- Spiracy to purchase a political oppon- ent. and the government of which he is a member is irretrievably involved in the miserable business.” Mr. J.

Another ridiculous food fad has been branded by the most competent authorities. They have dispelled the silly notion that one kind of food is needed for brain. another for muscles, and still another for bones. A correct diet will not only nourish a particular part of the body, but it will sustain every other part. Yet. however good your food may be. its ‘ nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia. You must prepare for their appearance or prevent their coming by taking regular doses of Green’ s August flower, the favorite medicine of the healthy millions. A few doses aids digestion. stimulates the liver to healthy action. purifies the blood. and makes you feel buoy- ant and vigorous.

Corruption can never be exposed by the greed of the corrupt man or the righteous in- dignation of the honest man. Mr. Gamey had the brave heart of an honest man and the head of a clever man. For weeks he has had to keep his own counsel and endure the fear- ful penalties of universal contempt and has done more to purify the poli- ‘ tics of Ontario in six weeks than all the convential moral agencies of this.: country would do in sixteen years. 1 Ontario politics has never develop- ed a truer hero than Robert R. Gamey, of Manitoulin. Corruption can never be destroyed by goody good people who read essays or start newspapers. The system goes on and gets worse until some man throws himself into the gap and does exactly what R. R. Gurney did. It was hard for Mr. Gamay to do what he didâ€"to publicly listen to the voice of the tompter even while his heart was firm with the resolve to get evidence that would upon the system and destroy its authors. It would have been easy for M}. Gamey to have repelled the agents of corruption and have left them free to continue their search for somebody who could be bought.
