In United States Giving the women of Ontario a yote will only double the present vote without changing the complexion of the vote. If the men of Ontario would «ofeat Hearst a‘ the next elcction the women won‘t save him.. Premier Heart‘s act to give the women of Ontario votes as a means of saving his government from defeat at the next election will probably prove @ boomerang that will do more harm than good While the voio will be increased wonderfully the results will be very litâ€" the different. Liboral men‘s wives will vote liberal. Tory men‘s wives will vote Tory. Prohibitionists wives will vote prohibitionist, antfâ€"prohibitionists wives will to a great extont yote the same as their husbands, consequently the gonâ€" eral rosult of the vote wll be very little changed. Of course there will be a large percentage of women vote independent ef family ties und if a large porcentage of them supported Hearst und his proâ€" aibition act, it might have quite an influence? The chances are that many of these women have political lmn‘lnm ud__.wlll_votn_pollucl Jn’t the same as men. That is, liberal women will vote liberal and conservative women will vote conservative, a e o e.0 a a But there is anotber class of women that are generally overlookéd but. they will prove a big factor on election day and they will all vote the same way and against Hearst and that is a class of women who are opposed to proâ€" mibition. These women can be counted by the thousands in the cities and towns of Ontario and everyone of them will vote. Hearst has overlooked this wlass in his eagerness to grab everything in sight, but the politicians won‘t ercriook them and they may prove the balance of power in the woman vote: that will turn the scale against him. ___ _ _ s ‘ ‘The way 1 size up the situation for the next election is this. There will be six sections of the community vote for Rowell and omly three sections vote for Hearst. The six sections that will vote for Rowell are as follows: (1) Straight Liberals and their wives and daughters, (2) Prohibition Liberals and their wives and daughters. . (3) Disgruntled Conscrvatives and their wives and daughtors, (4) Alb the men interested in. the Liquor and allied trades and their wives and daughters. (5) ‘The portion of untrammelled women with Liberal leanings.

Yet there the need of a united front agrinst the colossal mass of heathendom is most keenly felt. To make any impression on that vast body, all must get toâ€" gether. After converts are won and admitted to the Church, our denom{â€" mational _ differences . perplex . them sorely. Some of the most Intelligent of the ll“.l': Christians in dll’un?l countries ve protested . vigorously against imposing western ?l.mlonl and rivairies on Eastern Churches, Chrg.hll\y in _ these lllennll count should devalop churches which will express each ’-npln‘-l peculiar spirit or genius and meet its peculiar needs.

These figures do not take into gccount the larger amounts raised by the flolds themselves for their own {support, Add these, and the situâ€" atlon is more serious, and the arguâ€" ment for Joining forces still stronger. the names are different in the lists, it is Impossible to secure exact staâ€" tistics, _ On the other side of the account there is the consideration,â€" that the village where the mfsslonâ€" ary resides and by which the field is named is sometimes only a centre for a& group of preaching.stations and overiapping at the centre may not mean overispping at outside points. The money wasted in the one case may be counterbalanced by the needy places supplied in the other, so that the statement stlll stands that oneâ€" elghth of our Home Mission money goes Into work that dupifeates that of a alster detomination, Now, no one would object to this expenditure if it were to maintain anything vital. Recently an antiâ€" unionist reproached a Western man with advocating Union because he was too mean to support his Church, "It is your differences thit ure not worth paying for," was his retort. This is just the polht. For years we have been coâ€"operating with the Meâ€" thodists. In nundreds of pluces one ||u- withdrawn, leaving the other in {full ebarge.
