When tho election is over The Chronicle will give lhe results and Dr. Leeson. if defeated, will not be referred to in a mean way. It isn‘t necessary and, more than that. it isn't wise. All. the U. F. O. supporters will be glad should Dr. Jamieson be defeated, but we miss our guess if the better class will crow over his political death and burial. Only political upstarts and ill-advised political en- thusiasts will resort to such measures. But these things never win votes. It is foolish political propa- We nPH'l’ heard Dr. Jamieson crowing over his suc- HESS; we don t belime Dr. Leeson ever did. We never heard Dr. Jamieson or Dr. Leeson say a mean thing about the other. They are both above that sort of thing and the crowing is usually done by fledgelings and oc- l-asionally by irresponsible grown-ups who should know better than indulge in the nonsense of which they are too often guilty. A CAIPAIGN OP INSIRUA'I'ION The Ih'ury-Raney-Toronto Globe arraignment of the Hon. G. Howard Ferguson might have more en‘ect had it not been started immediately after his election in 1919. This same combination has been “after” Fergu- son ever since he was returned to the Legislature as the member for t‘irenville. Despite the statements of Mr. McArthur rejoices in the Dr.’s defeat of four years ago and in the downfall of Mr. Ball who was buried under the avalanche of 1921. The object of each party in all political contests is to defeat their opponents. Dr. Jamieson‘s object this time is to defeat Dr. Leeson. and Dr. Leeson and his supporters are working with an equal determination to defeat Dr. .lanrieson. One of the two will win, and the winner will be glad because of his success, but when the con- flict is ended neither will so forget himself as to crow over the others downfall. ‘ Hon. Mr. Drnry. the Premier. and also that of the Hon. Wellington Hay. leader of the Liberal Opposition, in which both paid complimefls to the Conservative leader. both Mr. Raney and The Globe continue their campaign of insinuatinn and twisting of statements. Mr. Ferguson has plan-ml hipzself on record as not in favor of the manner in which the Ontario Temperance Act. has been enforced and immediately Mr. Raney and The Globe club him the eomnlander-in-chief of the liquor forces. But these insinuations will not 'down with the bulk of the thinking electors of South Grey. "In our riding of South Grey we electefi George M. Leeson with 956 majority in 1919. This year we are going to send him back with a larger one, if possible. His opponent. Dr. Jamieson. says he doesn't care which gets in. Uri! or Tory. as long as the U. F. 0. goes down. We intend to bury him (the Dr.) alongside of R. J. Ball in Hanover. who passed out of political life December 6. 1921 and was buried under 2.598 votes.” The Ontario 'l‘entiperam'e Act was carried at the last Provincial ('li't‘llOll by a l't‘fm‘t‘lltlllm. and no man, Mr. Haney. MP. Hay. Mr. Fergustm or even The Globe can change the Ontario Temperance Act in any manner without the consent. of the sell‘sam'e electors. Mr. Raney and The Globe are merelv talking pitl'le when thev deal with Mr. Ferguson 9 attitude on temperance and they know it. “Canada’ 5 National Newspaper” and Ontario’ 9 Attorney-General are making a mountain out' of a mole-hill. They are "dodging the issue” with a ven- mnce. But the whole campaign. so far, from an Opposition standpoint, has hinged .on trumped-up charges such as these. Some of the United F armer platform speakers have Imde quite a lot recently of the “timber" charges against the Conservative leadera formerly Minister in charge of the Department of Lands and Forest;. After the investigation, both Mr. Drury and Mr. Hay gave Mr. Ferguson 3 clean bill of health so far a his per. ml conduct in the timbendeah he‘d been concerned. For the eflectiye distribution of political propaganda there is no use in showing a virtuperatiye Spleen. No use making people think you are rufl'led over the acâ€" tion of others. If you are really ruffled, don‘t let peoâ€" ple know. You have a right to your Opinion. The other fellow has a right to his opinionâ€"just as much right as you have, and you can‘t change him by going about it in a nasty way. This is where our youthful and clever young writer falls down in his article. He dislikes his opponents and displays a weakness by showing his dislike. We quote the closing paragraph in The Farmers’ Sun. Air. McArthur is quite Optimistic; he sees suc- cess ahead of him and he. says so. Here’s what he says: 1001.18! POLITICAL PROPAGANDA The Farmers’ Sun of Saturday, June 2, had a letter in it from Mr. Stewart McArthur. who lives about a mile north of town. He is a young man, but that’s no crime. We understand he is naturally clever in some ways and nobody can find fault with him.on that account. He is a strong advocate of 1'. F. (_).-isni and he has a perfect right to be if he wants in. As an election is coming on. he is evidently trimmed with an itch for scribbli g a disease sonwtimes known as "t_L:icoetlies Seribendi," hencehis article in The Sun of Saturday last. There‘s no harm in a man expressing his honest views in The Farmers‘ Sun, 01' even in The Durham Chronicle if he undertakes the work in a rational manner and gives his views calmly and in the absence hf Spleen. .\ calm consideration of any question is the only thing that will count. The man who can't give calm o-xprmsion to his Opinions betrays a weakness and anything he says has very little effect. PAGE FOUR THE DURHAM CHRONICLE W. IRWIN, Editor and Pmpritor Thursday, June 7, IS THB‘WISH FATHER 76 THE THOUGHT? "13 Dr. Jamieson quitting the field?” was a qnestiun asked The Chmniclo lost night by a 93ml Tory sup- N porter. We did not think so, but to make sure called upDnJamiesn this morning and put the same ones;- tion to him. His answer was most emphatic. He is NOT quitting the contest, and has never had any in- tention of so doing. Possibly the rumor. which. we are told, has been current,in some quarters. is what some of the Doctor‘s Opponents would like to see him do, but with the magnificent receptions he has receiv- ed in all sections of the riding he has yet visited he would indeed be ' been good ones,‘ ing, the electors wih he carryings-on of the ‘ kury Government and are anxious to listen and to lam. Last night at Hopeville. the Dr- had mm M "-â€" Failure to pass an examination is not alwa‘fs exi- dence of a lack of knowledge. Often ,a person is unable under the excitement and strain of an examination to communicate his knowledge to paper, and the fail- ure is more imaginary than real. Some. doubt the value of a written examination as a true test of the student's knowledge. Teachers have reason to know that such a test is often not. a true measure of the pUpil‘s knowledge. Again, we find pupils who can write what they know far better than they can tell it. Though written examinations are sometimes condemn- ed it is doubtful if a better method can be devised. The diligent, plodding student who starts in at the begin- ning of he term and keeps it up till the close of the examination, deserves success and he generallv gets it. The idler is almost sure to be a failure in school as in anything else. DR. JAMIBSON IS THE LOGICAL CHOICE So far, we have entered no plea for Dr. Jamieson‘s candidature. He is so wellâ€"known in all parts of the young medoacl practitioner. For over thirty years he has been in public life, either as a candidate for poli- tical honors or as a leader in the industrial life of the town. For over twenty years he was a member of the Ontario Legislature and had to 'put up a fight to secure his election on every occasion. For a number of secs- sions he was Speaker of the House and always held the respect of his political opponents as well as his political friends. In his campaigns he was always moderate in his appeals to the people and always will- ing to acknowledge with gratitude the support receiv- ed fI‘Um persons of other political leanings. In the dis- charge of his duties he mas ever ready to assist any of the electors independent of their political leanings. He was fair to all and up to the present time has never had a dishonest charge preferred against him. We beliexe what we say to be true anddeem it an honor to support a man with such a good, clean record. A failure to pass‘an examination is not always an evil. A pupil who gets through just by “the skin of his teeth" would he handicapped in the higher form, and he forced to work at a disadvantage. In such cases it would he better sometimes to fail than to pass. Another year in the same work would not be a year‘s lost time. A better fmmdation would he laid and the work in future would be easier and more satisfactory. Parents are anxious .for the success of their child- ren and may be, in part, the cause of the failures. They may not be able to render the necessary assistance but all parents can exercise a guiding influence and show that success at the end of the term depends on a close personal application during the school year. THE END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR The school year is drawing. to a close and examina- tion results will soon be looked for. The boys and girls who were idle and indifferent about their studies 'during the school year need not be surprised at not finding their names amongst. the successful ones. Idle- ness and indifference never spell success. Some of the best plodders may fail also, but when a student does his best, failure is no disgrace. He may" hate to ac- knowledge a lack of ability, but that very thing is the cause of failure in some cases. The teachers are often blamed for the failure of their pupils, but often blamed unjustly. The boys and girls who find the petty attractions of more interest than their text books have themselves to blame f or failures when the testing time comes. Despite the petty attacks on his character, the Con- servative leader wilt come forth the Victor in the campaign of insinuation being carried on by his 0-p- pnnents. But now their propaganda says um they recovered 81, 000, 000 in back dues from the Shevlin-Glnrk interests and are asking the electors to credit them with this. So far as The Chronicle can learn, the Drury Gmfern- ment certainly did discover that the Shevlinâ€"Clark people were owing this one million dollars, and started in to collect it. The Shevlin-Cltarklpeople stood suit. the Government compromised on $500,000, and have never yet/collected this and it is questionable if they ever will. But even this one million dollars of back dues does not vindicate the Drury Government from responsibility in the 1ecent E. W: Backus deal, when thev sold f01 $50,100. timtber estimated to 110 \v orth at least i‘-’10.000,00(_>. Tiue. they had tent or five tendeis inxon the liiroperti'. which covered an area of 3,000 square miles, but. Mr. Backus has admitted that all the tenders were either from himself or his friends. The Drury Government platform men. however, rarely. if ever. refer to the Backus deal, although it. is not likely the campaign will go very much fiarther before they will he asked for an explanation. £313 :cs nan} U001] good 01108; n is lacking, the electors he carryingshon of the anxious to listen and to le, the Dr. had one of the I present campaign,- with 'ed., No, Dr. Jamieson is 2?; A: 4'1 WILLIAM MARSHALL KILLED BY TRAIN AT SUDBURY Word was received here Friday of last week of the death at.
