Every donation is useful and the continued interest of the people is very encouraging`. For the month of December it will be just ne if, as usual, toys, candies, fruit, nuts and useful presents are brought in for the very essential Christmas tree. Every child looks forward to Christmas with ea,e`er iearted expectation, and the chil- dren at the Shelter have never been disappointed.

To go no fur- ther back than twenty years ago we have the appointment of the Rail- way Commission, which followed al- most -directly upon representations made at Ottawa by a joint delegation composed of representatives of the Manufacturer s Association, To- ronto Board of Trade and farm or- g:anizations--a dele_:ation formed as a result of initiative taken by the old Farmers .-\<\`oeiation. The ri{:;ht of draina_-:0 across railway rig`hts of way, and at the expense of railways, a matter of most vital importance in many parts of Ontario, was the dir- ect outcome of inuene brouglit to bear upon Parliament througrh the Grange and Farmers Association. When the Fielding: Tariff Commis- sion was formed in the first decade of the present century, there is no doubt that the purpose was to se- cure testimony that mi_e:ht justify an increase in the tariff. But depu- tation.-: of farmers met the Commis- sioners at every point touched in Ontario, and in the end the tariff, instead of being: increased, was rather modied. Then in 1910, when that monster deputation wait- ed on the Laurier Government to de- mand acceptance of the United States ofl'er of Reciprocity, there is every reason to-believe that the first intention of the Government was to refuse the demand. Certainly that was the impression left on the minds of the farmer leleaates. In the end, however, the Government adopted the course asked for, and acceptance followed pressure exerted outside of Parliament. That Reciprocity was afterwards defeated at the polls does not alter what appears to be the fact that outside pressure led the Government of the day to accept the priniple. Tliese are just a few of the thin_e's accomplished by organized a_<.:riculture without the aid of spec- ially chosen representatives, either at Ottawa or Toronto. nu n . . . . A number of speakers at the Progressive convention of last week appeared to be under the impression that the voice of agriculture had never been heard, or the inuence of the country s basic industry felt, until organized farmers sent repre- senta.tives of their own to the Legis- lature and the House of Commons. n,` A . n- (Au wnuuvicb \Jl 1IJ1.\JIA\,-u- 'l`h<: one all important matter is to lmvc at all times an alert, in- fonnml and l`(':lll_\' imlc,-pen_(lent elec- t.0rz1tc-an electorzitc that will View cvc1'_v qu0; from the stamlpoint of citizxmsliip 1'atlm1' than partisan- ship.
