As a matter of fact, so far as Can-,w ada is concerned, it has equal importance with: either the weather or the war, because it is con- cerned so deeply with both in their effect on everyday life. The political manipulation of this By-elect.ion places North Grey in the position of holding.one ‘of the most important decisions as to whether democracy is to be a fact or a sham in Canada‘ No one knows how North Grey will vote, but how it should vote seems apparent. In the referendum North Grey cast an eighty per cent. vote for all-out; conscription. In the byâ€" election"the issue seems to be whether the people are ‘ still desirous of an allâ€"out war effort or whether they will approve of a political trickery that makes a simple football out of the question, irespective of the lives of the Canadian men fightâ€" ing overseas, with support that has been admitted to be inadequate If General McNaughton is elected it will show an approval of tactics that \lghty per cent of the voters openly condemned jearlier in the war. The enemy will be comforted by the election of General McNaughton in North the noble plans outlined at North Bay, he will be following a trail blazed by Geo. W. Lee in the days when the T.

Prime Minister King seems to admit the strong chances of defeat by . his threat of a general ‘election before the member elected in North Grey can take his seat. Genâ€" eral McNaughton s own statement that he would continue as Minister of Natxonal Defence, irreâ€" spective of the result of the vote in North Grey is "the most open and direct flouting of the prinâ€" ciples of aemocracy in the history Oof Canada. To realize the situation, it is necessary to rememâ€" ber that Premier King selected the seat for Genâ€" :‘eral McNaughton and himself brought on the contest. ~Had he the slightest spirit of good sportsmanship or the faintest‘. regard for the % o _ ol h.

Had he the slightest _spirit of good sportsmanship or the faintest regard for the essence of democracy, he would accept the verâ€" dict in North Grey as a mandate from the people as to his course of action. The defeat of his canâ€" didate would mean that the people expressed their disapproval of the:reluctance of the government to follow the will of Canada as expressed in the referendum. The fact that nearly half the Zomâ€" bies brought under the restricted enforcement of conscription have left the ranks and are thus unâ€" available is .surely proof that the discriminatory system of conscription adopted by General Mcâ€" Naughton will not work.

The tendency is all to overâ€"optimism. With such a tendency there is always danger of a slackening of effort, and that in itself is one of the very things that will prolong the war. It would be better for people to be ready for many more, .months . of conflict and to give redoubled energy to every war effort. That in itself would do more to hasten the war‘s end. In other words ‘as an Irishman would phrase it, the end of the war can be brought nearer by putting it further away. ‘ END OF THE WAR NOT IN SIGHT The Advance has always had the idea that the collapse of Germany would come suddenly like it did in the last war, In the present war, however, ‘the collapse will not be as apparent or as genâ€" f eral as in the last war, because of the unconditionâ€" al surrender provision. There are no leaders of groups that the Allies:can deal with in this war. Germany has only one partyâ€"the followers o1 Schicklegruberâ€"all others have been liquidated years ago. The Allies: can not treat with these thugs and gangsters, so it appears that surrender will have to be in sections as it wereâ€"piecemeal, in other words. ‘Germany will be crowded back on all sides before there can be any expectation of any general surrender. In the meantime, Gerâ€" many has many resources left and will likely be ‘able to continue the ‘battle for: many months. ‘The Allies will have to win back the ground yard ‘by yard, and the same procedure will be necessary on German soil.

It has been sadly demonstrated in the past few weeks that a little snow in Toronto or any of those other Sassanach centres will tie up all traâ€" ffic, interfere with the delivery of milk and newsâ€" papers, dislocate business generally and completely upset all social events. Snow storms in this manâ€" ly and womanly North, however, do not have the same effect. This is due to the fact that the folks up here have more determination and ingenuity. Zalek Vertliecb, of Wawbewawa, gives an example of this fact. There was a New Year‘s party that a young settler desired to attend, but the snow Wedding at the United _ Church in Schumacher Acecrding to The Northern Miner:â€" Premier George Drew has announced that a new Securities Act is being preâ€" pared for consideration during the forthcoming session of the Ontario Legislature.

CAMPBELL, Manager In connection with the apparent helplessness of the people of the South in the face of a little extra snow, The Advance has had several sarâ€" castic references to the apparent deterioration of the stamina of the people of the South. There has been a tendency to look upon them as "sissies". But they are not all like that. There are still some good men in the South. For example there‘s the case of Samuel Bennett, of Blanchard Township. The snow was too deep and drifted for a car Or even for his team of good horses, so he walked the six miles to St. Mary‘s to give his blood to the Blood Donor Clinic there.
