Neither of them took quite the full hour, though the 15 minutes was exceeded. â€" a The swing of the meeting was unâ€" doubtedly© for Oliver and if it repre: sented the constituency, Oliver will Beâ€"elected on Dec. ist. _ The Dr we think made a mistake in leaving the termmperance question to the end o his speech. Farm loans, cheaper au to markers, even the Agricultura Commission of Enguiry or Drury $ alleged sins have beem driven from\ the people‘s minds by the, attempt to introduce government sale of |lq-‘ uor. â€" There was nothing to evoke applause and there was none till near the close of his well reasoned speech and his declaration that he was going back on Dec. 1st. The opâ€" position . to . the Dr. is largely be cause he is linked with Ferguson, who has lost the confidence of many of his own friends. _ Young Oliver announced without \the least hesitation that he would | take the temperance question first. | Dr. Jamieson had "made a good speech considering . the material he | had to work upon", and opened with | & record of Premier Ferguson, makâ€" , ing some powerful _ quotations from | past utterances and promises showâ€" ing inconsistency. | _ Oliver has a splendid voice and } handled himself well. The idea that Miss MacPhail writes his speeches | for himâ€"as some has it goingâ€"is | absurd. He is and has been a | thoughtful reader and is quite able | to handle public questions off his | own bat. He got frequent applanse. | _ Dr. Jamieson, in opening, extolled ‘ the benefits of hygro, stating that im.ooo farmers now use hydro powâ€" | ar â€"‘Thev honed by next year to have Ior. They hoped by next year to have | the Provincial finances balanced. He \claimed the Drury Gov‘t paid 6%4 per | cent for loans, (but this was at a \ time interest â€"rates . were _ at their peak), while the Ferguson gov‘t had got it as low as 4%%, per ent. The contract for _ car ma.rkers wall â€" now let at 7%¢ per pair‘ for 1937. For farm loans, the Government formerly â€" charged 6 per cent; it is now teduced to 5%, and in & year or two, they : may lend at 5. He believed in cooperative mar _ keting of agricultural products. The problem is to get markets. For tol hold the British market, . we â€"must standardize products, and supply a\ constant stream.‘ He suggested the , govt. should rent space in the new . terminal building at Toronto, â€" and : store supplies there in time of plenty \to supply the British market stcadily.‘ He had yet to hear serious criticism of the Ag. Enguiry Committee, as to v cost incupred, or what it had done. Y _ He quoted figures to show the Fer guson govt. was building macadam " and paved roads® cheaper than the Y Drury Gov‘t. and the office salary ® list of the latter, he claimed, . was dbgble the present govt‘s. ‘He upheld the®Rew system of Tp. _ roadwork, whére‘ with statute labor abolished, the gov‘t pays half salary cf{engineerâ€"and 30 ‘per cent of monâ€" ey gpent. 310 townships in old Onâ€" tario have‘ aboklished .

Refefring to the temperance ques tion, he thought it wrong to characâ€" terize the Conservative party as the "wet" party. They‘had given the onâ€" ty temperance legislation, had reâ€" stricted the number of doctors‘ pre scriptions to 30 per‘ month. 90 pei Morley Roberts, who in 1884 or 1885 drifted that way in the course of an almost trampâ€"like journey across Western America. Since then the world has recognized Morley Roberts as one of its finer craftsmen. At that time he, worked with axe and shovel on the titanic task of pushâ€" ing the steel of the C.P.R. through the mreuntains on its way to the Pacific. ky e( "The Western Avernus" is a book: in which he told the story of his wanderings and something of life in C.P.R. construction camps. Through his eyes we can see the Rockies as he saw them when they were new to Europeans. "Here is a vast gorge," he says, "now broad with sloping bastions of opposing forâ€" tresses on either hand, now narrow with steepest walls and impending rocks threatening the calm lakes that catch their shadows and receive their reflections. Even as you look do they not nod with {:uible thundâ€" erous avalanche, or it the ph{ only of shadow from opposite pea and pinnacle?

"Eyes of a Gypsy" is its . title, and its best scenes are laid in the clouds where everlaiting glaciers give place on the rocky slopes to straggling forests. It is a tale of human emotions and although part of its action takes place in New York, it is Canadian in spirit and its people are mostly the sort of people whom Canadians will recognize as to be met with in any part of this country. Reviewers say it is the best book Mr. Gibbon has yet produced; it certainly holds the attention from first to last, and if one or two of its characters are amazingly unlike the ordinary run of people, that makes the book all the more thrilling. In any case it is doing important work in helping make Canada‘s lcenic&lories known to the world. 4 In reply, Dr ‘Jamieson said there was no "proposition to abolish or reâ€" peal O.T.A; just a slight© amendment to make it more. workable" and of more benefit to people. .
