Quite a number of the ladies from here attanded the Red Cross meeting last Thur:day at the bome of Mrs Gordon Mackay. The C.C.

' Suppose, for instance, that there |are men in whom the people have |confidence, and whom they woald \like to see at the post otf responsibiliâ€" lty in Otiawa. Why not bold public meetings and insist upon their fappointment? Why, it the Governâ€" ment refases. should they not nominâ€" ate such men as candidates for 1 arlâ€" lament, and also as men who should be Ministers? Why should not an election, it it is to be held, be made a means of voicing the pecple‘s real wishes ? That would be real demoâ€" cracy. That would help the cause ut democracy, not only in Canada, but all over the world.â€"Toronto| Mr ‘Viil Hodson of Owen Sound rccompanied by bis mother Mrs J.

But can nothing be done to ensure a change for the betâ€" ter ? Is it the out of the power of the people of Canada to force the appoint: ment of the kind of Government they need ? Must they be helpless spectaâ€" tors of a mere party struggle for pluca‘ between two parties ? Ii an election is required, it is simâ€" ply because nothing else can shake the Government or give the people of Canada a chance to bring the force of public opinion to bear on the yital question of the bour. tar. , We have not that kind of Governâ€" mept. There is a general dissatistacâ€" on with the conductof the war, with the treatment of retarned soldie~s, with the utter failure to grasp the problem of food supply. Mr Crothers‘ demonstration of his own inability to grasp it, made in a debate on Wednesday, was tragic, appalâ€" ling. It is not his fault that a duty has bee~ assigned to bim for whict he is wholly unuiied. Bat somebedy should be doing the work. I Bat as we look at the grim visage of war, with the lite of nations at stake, we think of the realities of lite. We perceive that the only use ot sn election is to allow the people to choose & good Parliament and an effective Government. Party adâ€" vantage is not merely subordinate, It is notbing. It is childish to talk ct it. The only parties worth talking of toâ€"day are the friends of liberty and civilization, cn one side, and its enemies on the other. We all, Lib erals and Contervatives, helong to the first party. We need a Govern-‘ ment that will carry out the aims of that party. The question of e.’ection{ or no election is of no importance, compared with getting and keeping that kind of Government. __It there should be a general elecâ€" tion in Canada this year, for what purpose ? Accustomed as we are to the party system, we have come to regard an election simply as a strugâ€" gle between partiesâ€"one party tryâ€" ing to keep its frionds in power, the other to put it out.
