If an election should be brought on at an early date, the Tories will be doing wrong anyway, in the minds of the Cp- position. THE TOBIES WRONG ANYWAY When the Borden Government came into power on September '21, 1911, the riding of South Grey had 42% miles of Rural Mail, serving 61 patrons. At the present time the riding is completely covered by Rural Mail, that is to say, everv 694 miles of Rural Mail, serving 2,044 patrons at a cost of $20,472.69. Rural mail is surely a boon to the rural communities in the province and no doubt fully appreciated by] all the peOple receiving such ser- vice. Farmers are now certainly coming to their own in the Dom- inion of Canada under the present administration. Did you ever see a school bully?

They submit for a time to his tyranny, but inwardly they are devising pfans to rid themselves of the oppressor. The only _\\‘3.')’ to bully a buliy is to apply his own medicine. Nothing but force will make him cringe, and the force will come sooner or later. Un- conquered, the bully remains a tyrant, but after meeting more than his match he is soon cowed and peace reigns where terror once existed. {The bully is often. if not generally, a coward, and when once properly subdued the fighting spirit soon leaves. him. W. IRWIN. E The German Kaiser has long? helzl .the controlling reins, and 11v education and environments he thinks he should control the whole universe. Not onlv should he con-- trol the Gexman peOpIe, r11t the Geiman pCOpIe should control the uoxld. He .is since1e, perhaps, 1n the views he holds, and his whole education is such that he thinks himself in the right. He is the hi0 bully, and to 1id him of the i:.ea he must :be crushed. and crushed nrOperly. The present war in EurOpe will cause much sorrow ani distress, but the crushing of the Prussian military spirit and giving the peeple a voice in; their own (government will revo- lutionize the German people and make them a happy, contented and less enslaved people.

Four years ago the people of Canada entrusted the government of this Dominion to the Conserva- tive party. That party since then has been responsible for the con- duct of affairs in this country. It is so rCSponsible to-day. Sir Robert Bordon. his coiloagues ' in the cabinet, and his Milan-91.5 in ‘ the house have been burdencdt with full responsibility, but their: powers have been confined and? restricts-:1. The house of romp. 0119' has passed one important mC-asm-c after another 0:11; to have it 1.9- iected by an irresponsible 9173:“; in which the Liberals have m ‘ maéority. {fl}? ’Lfll‘iiflf CUU‘LU‘JSS} bill, the «highways bill and tho naval aid bill are cases in point, The great {constructive “yogmm oi the government, nationally and! imperially, have ‘been thxvartedfi held up (and strangled by the D0- minion Senate. A year ago the situation -bccame so intolerable that the government brought? down an address to the throne, 'Which ' the- house of normrxons unanimously passed, praying that the British North America Act be so amended as to give the west- ern, provinces their proper repre- sentation .in the sen-ate.'This meas- ure if. promptly adopted would ’ have relieved the situation by fill- ing' Yap-the ~ranks of the senate I ~0- THE BULLY Ito: and Proprietor. 2-2, 1915. with men in sympathy with the government of .the day and with the sentiments {and aspirations of the majority of the peOple of When, however, that address came before the so-called tpper chamber, it was amended so as to postpone-the relief sought until after the edisSoluti-on of the pres- ent parliament. A .few months ago the house adOpted a similar [address only again to have It address only again to have it 1 amended in tthe same way. As 1 amended, that address has gone to 1 the imperial gparliament for actionm That is (to say, the recommen la- 1 tions of the governor-general, ' acting upon the advice of ' his ministers. may :be approved by the house bi commons, but will be subject to the veto of another chamber responsible to neither king nor hountry, and that situa- tion will zcontinue until the disso-' lution of parliament.

They . are told that {they cannot have the ' senate in sympathy )vith them or‘ exercise the riunetions of govern- L merit during the lifetime of the : present parliament. No relief is 5 possible until )after the next gen- 2' eral election. That is the notice I that has been served upon them 1 by the irresponsible senate.

Y.0U NG NEWSPAPER MAN AT TflE FRONT . A KNOTTY PROBLEM There are many noted points connect- ed with the American Revolution in New Jersey. The main struggle began 4 in Massachusetts, was transferred to New York and the bulk of it was fought out in Sew Jersey, the surrender being made in Virginia. After the battle of Long Island General Washington’s central pointâ€"that is, when he was not in the fieldâ€"was at Morristown. in a house which is now owned by a so- ciety whose business it is to keep it in order as a memento of the Father at His Country. Some tenâ€"miles south of Morristown is Basking ridge, where is situated one of New Jersey's historic homes. Dur- ing Washington’s occupancy of the house at Morristown a wedding occur- red at this house, which he attended. On his way back to his headquarters he stepped at a house in a little place called Mendham. telling the members of his stat? who were with him to ride on slowly and he would overtake them. Dismounting from his horse the gen- eral enterea the gate and asked for ad- mittance by means of the brass knock- cr which in those days was used in- stead of the modern bell. He was ad- mitted by Miss Dorothy Hughes, the daughter of the person he sought. .‘ “fiow now. Mistress Dorothy?" said the general. noticing that she was very pale and an of a tremor. “What is the matter?" “Nothing.” stammered the girl “ex- cept an agitation at our house being honored by so important a personage as the commander in chief.” _ i“fiNo, general. He went to Elizabeth- town this morning. We do not exoect his return till late this evening.” Caught Within . the Enemy 3 Lines ~“ififear you are exaggerating. Is your father within?" “How is it. Mistress Dorothy. that notwithstanding this high honor which you consider done you by the com. mander in chief you permit him to stand without invitation to enter?” “Pardon me, your excellency; 1 did not suppose that you would stop after hearing father is not at home. Will you be pleased to enter?” _ n ._._n:_.. _ v._.._ E The reason for Dorothy‘s agitation ., and unwillingness to admit him flashed ' upon Washington at once. ' He regarded the young man sternly. then turned his gaze on Dorothy. who. , white as a cloth. was supporting her- 5. self by a mantel over the great stone fireplace. The general saw at once that he had discovered a pair of lovers. “Only for‘ the purpose of writing a message since you are not minded to deliver it verbally.” The girl led the genera) into the liv- ing room. where she left him for a few minutes to go for writing paper and a quill. The general after sharpening the qniil with his penknife sat down at a table. wrote his message, sanded it, then took it to a window to read it. over. The window was draped with heavy damask curtains. and his excel- lency in order to get a better light moved one of them aside. In doing so his arm encountered a resistance oth- er than wood. Throwing hack the cur- tain, he exposed a young man in the uniform of a lieutenant in the British army. “313651 fear. Mistréss Dorothy.” he said. “Fortunately your guest is in uniform.

Washington went to the table. wrote something and handed it to him. It read as follows: Pass Lieutenant Ralph Harding of the British army without our lines. Lieutenant flarding turned his eyes from the paper to the man who gave it. “Gex;é}:;l.’; he said, “1 don’t wonder that the Americans revere you.
