The prize list will be issued in a few days, and be practically the same as that-of 1913, with the excep- tion of the poultry department, in which the entries will be changed from pairs of each variety to single birds, a much-needed improvement. This will necessitate doubling, or al- most deubling, the prize money, and should result in a decided increase in The Government is considering the suggestion that general election day be proclaimed a public holiday. The proposal is Worthy of much thought. Anything that will tend to impress upon the people the su- preme importance of the ballot, should be brought about as speedily as possible. If more men can be got out to the polls on election day by making that day a general holiday, then by all means let us have the holiday. But, as a matter of fact, the great majority of those who do not exercise the franchise are men who value the boon too little to use it. In years gone by Britons waded through fire and blood to win the right to vote. To-day some of their descendants refuse to walk across the street to exercise that right. We must come to that attitude of mind where the man who refuses to vote on election day will be re- garded as without rights, as delin- quent in a great moral obligation. If the making of general election day a public holiday will hasten along that frame of mind, the sooner we have the declaration the better. ‘-â€"Ottawa Journal. This talk of the importance of vot- ng appears ridiculous in face of the entire absence of any attempt or even suggestiOn on the part of the govern- ment to remedy a condition of affairs which permits the practical disfranch- isement of the majority of voters in a whole constituency, as was the case in Temiskaming in the recent Ontario elec- tion, when abouttwo hundred fewer ballots were marked for the elected candidate than for his two: opponents éo’mbined.

The fact of the matter is that the number of irreconcilables who are showing a disposition to rip ofi‘ the party blinkers their grandfathers wore, and investigate and think for them- selves, is increasing so rapidly that the old parties find it necessary to devise means to keep them inside the traces. The public holiday. proposition looks like a bid for popularity. If the gov- ernment thought for a moment that making election day a holiday would increase the Grit vote or any other hostile vote, it would put the lid on the suggestion and sit on it tight.
