Parliament for South Grey and the first and, so far, the only woman to uccupy a seat in the Dominion House of Commons. On Wednesday one of her most ardent suporters and admirers brought us the following: l'llpplllg from a recent issue of The Farmers’ Sun and, on handing it to us, supposed that we would not care to publish a eulogy on the lady from Ceylon who at the last Dominion el- waltzed oil with the parliamentary honors with a measly little majority of something between 2,500 and 3,000. _,__. A..L FAG}: POUR '1' JV'IIIV VI----O .â€" - 7 We. must admit we did not support' Miss Macphail in her candidature, but if she can reduce the tariff, low- er the railway rates, throw the big harpuon into the “big interests” so much in the limelight at the time, or even succeed in doing about half what’she intimated she intended to do and at the same time keep the wheels of industry turning and this old Dominion on a sound financial basis she will have accomplished mini-thing. So far as Miss Mac- phail’s personality is concerned, we haw said nothing, nor do we intend so doing. The defense of Canada’s only woman M. P. which our sub- scriber thought we might not care to publish is a contribution to The Sun from Ripley and is as follows : "Wise mothers and fathers have ‘ always imbibed their children with the great truths in life, then they go to school and the wise teacher helps mother's little man and father’s lit- tle woman along through the store- house of knowing the great truths or life. Littie man is taught. Honor where honor due, that no gentleman ‘ can hurt a lady. love one another, etc. We think the editor of the ‘ llhesley Enterprise and the editor of The Ripley Express are earmarked alike and have missed some of the lessons taught manly little man or they would not be hitting Miss Agâ€" nes )lacphail for powdering her nose in a railroad coach while enroute to a public meeting at Hanover. We wonder where the editors would have been had Miss Manhail gone into the ladies’ dressing room in this same coach. where they didn’t apâ€" prove of her looking into a mirror. . It certainly is lucky for The Ripley lZXpress editor that faces do not launch immigration vessels, hei probably does not like our Miss Mac- phail‘s immigration- manifesto. Miss .‘lflCllllall has won the honor of reaching the Federal House. The Enterprise editor has gone down to defeat. from the local House. These editors are on the job with the knock knock of prejudice of Miss Macphail‘s church beliefs. Where do these editors worship, surely not in the church whose doctrines are‘ "love one another,” Thou shalt not rovet." "Love thine enemy." I don’t know very much about Miss Mac- phail’s religion, and I don‘t expect these editors do either. Surely the red corpuscle in the blood of the gal- lant. Mrlrmald’s must. have, turned yellow in the veins of this scion of the Man." We» don‘t. quite get 0111' subscriber's! M03 in suggpsting that \w publish Hm ahmv "clf‘anSP of Misé Macphgjl.

Shortly before our subscrihcl‘ with the Miss Macphail proclivities arrived on the scene with the news- paper clipping. another advocate of l'J’J). principles was in the oflice and in the course of his conversation told us to go ahead. Every knock was it [must and the more we had. to say about. the matter the better the chances of the 1* .F .0. standard-hear- er. It’s a funny world, and from oh- s'ervations we a' strongly o the conviction that t e political in- ions of the followers of Morrison- number got their hooks up and that we had better be mild in future md not hit so hard. We told them in the next issue we be ieve in ddvo- eating righteous me es and were not going to be shunted 06 by the whinings of air pilers. Furthermore we informed the grumblers, who- ever they were, that only the guilty ones would be heard from. The kicked dog is the one that bowls, and we’ll venture to say the guilty ones were the howlers in this par- ones were u ticular case. The Farmers’ Sun says: “Parlia- mentary rules are queer things.
