; pia~ 4 PM AMereury, one of the oldest of _ Ontario Liberal papers, and at all times loyal â€" fo its pafrty, pays the following tribute to the Right Hon. Arthur Meighen, leader of the _ Conservative party : 5. CA story at Ottawa that â€"Mr. Meighen was We about to resign the Conservative leadership to _ accept a position with the Metropolitan Life Inâ€" _ _ surance Company at a salary of $50,000 has been \\ exploded by his own denial. That will be satis~ factory news, not only to his own followers, but _ to the country as a whole, excepting perhaps _ those vassociated with corporation ~interestsâ€" in Montreal â€"who do not like his views on public | ownership and particularly his attitude regardâ€" _ ing the Canadian National Railways, lf"‘ "Mr. Meighen is an able leader, a great parliaâ€" ) imlevnEnnep ons ce on e C000 m : Outside of the financial interests in Montreal, which have been gunning f or him for months, and repâ€" resent no one but their own selfish selves, Mr. Meighâ€" en has, the wholeâ€"hearted support and confidence of the Conservative party throughout the country. Howâ€" Rever, every political leader while in opposition has to meet this same situation at times during his career. Bven Sizr John A. Macdonald and Sir Wilfrid Laurâ€" jer faced such â€"cabals. Sir R obert Borden and Sir Jas. Whitney both met with criticism during the days of opposition, and it is only a few years ago that Rt. Hon,. Mackenzie King confronted similar headshaking to his qualifications as a party leader. _ Many people wonder why matters are at a _ standstill in Canada.. The reason is that proâ€" _ gress camnot be made under a government that _ is so divided on questions of policy. The Govâ€" _ etnment is wealk because it dare not take a deâ€" â€" cided stand on anything. But it has to make â€" out that its policy is good, even though it is _ really very bad. _ ‘This explains why the Prime Minister is running all over the world, getting â€" opinions to show how well off we are. _ The sales tax collections alone are suffiâ€" _cient to indicate that the country is not prosâ€" _perous.. Hon. J. A.. Robb, when he made the _ seduction in the sales tax rate last â€"year, estiâ€" _ mated that he would lose $24,000,000 on the â€" whole 12 months; but returns for the first 10 _ months show that during this time he has acâ€" _ tually lost about $11,000,000 more than that. _ What does the Government propose to do about this? Nothing, absolutely nothing. It â€" says that conditions are satisfactory,. and so _ why should we do anything? Matters are to â€" be allowed to take their course. In the meanâ€" tiume Robert Forke has told Parliament that _ the Progressives expect more tariff reductions, ‘and Hon. Chas. Stewart says that the death _ knell of protection started by the Government last year has not stopped ringing. .. This, of course, means a split in the Govâ€" _ ernment‘s ranks, for Messrs. Euler, Raymond, _ McCrea, and â€"Marler have openly told Parliaâ€" _ ment that they never had any use for the Libâ€" _eral 1919 tariff plank, and especially for the views entertained by Hon. Chas. Stewart. Nevâ€" er before in the history of this country has a house been so divided against itself on the tariff as the Liberals are divided toâ€"day. [ y, Numerous as are" the unemployed, they _ would be a great deal more numerous, were it _ not for the fact that so many workmen have _ left the country. As Mr. Meighen pointed out Momintnmioae pene Reo c oo ismm lCns WiInch is unsurâ€" passed. . "It is a good thing that political ambitions and the desire to serve their country prompt so many men to forego the quiet of private life and fortune they might have had by attending strict ly to their own business. About the only charge that may be brought against Mr. Meighen by opâ€" ponents is that he sometimes appears to be narâ€" rowly and bitterly partisan, but, then, these same opponents have their own political idols of whom the same may be truthfully said by others. It all depends on the viewpoint." faneselatete, edeRts oLE His long membership in the C him a knowledge of parliament methods of political strategy knowledge of all public auestic SEA e en dariont hicatah P on "Mr. Meighen is an able leader, a great parliaâ€" mentarian, an industrious worker and a politician of much higher type than the majority." There is no one in sight with as good qualities to sucâ€" ceed him. His position as the main critic of the Government and the shaper of his party‘s policies is of the greatest value to the country. Even when his proposals do not commend themselves to the majority, they present by way of contrast to Govâ€" ernment measures the best that may be devised. His long membership in the Commons has given him a knowledge of parliamentary procedure and methods of political strategy and an intimate Enmarladrnedsescty on aal E _ The answer to the question, "Has the King Government‘s policy made you rich?" would be a loud "No" from all parts of the country. It would take a lot of American opinions to silence that. The most convincing argument for prosperity is not statistics, but the size of the pay envelope. in his speech on the address, during the three years of King rule twice as many persons have left the country as haye come in.. The new United States immigration law may have cut down the exodus to some extent, but for all that, it is proceeding a the rate of over 10,000 a montlii. â€"â€". y . us true of churches and benevolent organizaâ€" tions. ; _ The Labor men well know what conditions are. . It is many a day since so many requests for relief of unemployment were made to our governments. OQurâ€"cities have had unpreceâ€" dented calls upon them for relief, and the same _ Those who know Canada and Canadian conditions bestjare not Americans, but Canaâ€" idians. They knmow what employment condiâ€" tions are, and what taxation is. Tt would be just as much to the point for a member of Congress to cite Mackenzie King as an authorâ€" ity on business conditions in the United States, as it would beâ€"for a Canadian M.P. to cite a leading American on conditions in Canada. PACE TWO The _ The debate on the address in reply to the speech from the throne has shown the wealsy ness of the‘ King Government‘s position. â€" Reâ€" iplying to the criticism of Mr. Meighen that uts policy had produced depression and a heavy ‘exodus to the United States, the Prime Minâ€" aster replied by quoting the opinions of seyâ€" eral Americans to show that this country was very prosperous. \ 4 WORK AND WAGES ARE.THE ONLY ¢ PROOFS AND PROSPERITY 311el/ph Mercury, one To84â€" . of the financial interests in Montreal, been gunning f or him for months, and repâ€" ie but their own selfish selves, Mr. Meighâ€" wholeâ€"hearted. support and confidence of 2 aoazl c ol CVE [EAader, an great parliaâ€" in industrious worker and a politician her type than the majority."

That fear took possession of the minds of some ofâ€" those who followed the claims of the "prophetess" is shown by the fact that a number of persons went insane, others committed suicide. One man in Fort Monrace, Michigan, shot his wife and then killed himâ€" self. He was in possession of considerable property and the thonght of losing it preyed upon his mind to such an extent that he comâ€" mitted the terrible act. If all those expectant souls who are looking for the end of the world would "live each day as though it were the ]m“%,” they would exercise a better influence, would be better prepared for whatever hapâ€" pens and would not be theâ€"cause of panic and death among those~of weak and misinformed minds, forrals m FXT ce Nmlalie h wiend s ie i e ie in ty w t n in se t A few enthusiasts in different parts of the United States gathered together expecting to be "caught up in the clouds." As the hours passed they discoveredâ€"that they had made a miscalculation and returned to their ordinary It has again been demonstrated that of the day of the hour of theâ€"end of the world no man knoweth. Friday last, the day fixed by well meaning but misguided persons for the awiul evej_nt, passed by as tvyery other day has done. Theâ€"late Sir James Whitney, referring to the bill of fare presented to. the people of Ontario by the then Liberal party of the provâ€" ince, characterized the offering as ""a very skimpy chicken." It would be interesting, if it were possible, to hear the hon. gentleman‘s definition of that which has been set before the people of Canada by Premier King in the "speech from the throne" at the opening: of parliament. "A skimpy chicken" would be a substantial repast compared with the millk and water diet prescribed by the present govetrnâ€" ment for a people hungry for work, and for the leadership which would restore prospenity to the country. But that which is not provided in the speech from the throne is guaranteed by the adoption of the ipolicy provided for by the resolution introduced by the Right Hon. Arthur Meighen. ns M aihas Aettstmad t lt Aoes o. o t e 3 7 S ce CLCALLRAT C city hospital were $186,000, ~of which sum $68,000 was received â€"from private patients. This hospital was started several years ago on a comparatively small scale, and when the population of the city was much smaller than it is today. It has grown in extent and useâ€" fulness and is now of very great service to the city and district. The Memorial hospital openâ€" ed to the public at Brampton last week will, with careful management and skillful service, very soon attract support which will not only tax its present capacity but make additional accommodation imperative. . The best of _ good wishes is extended to this important addition to the opportunities for service in a town well equipped for development and progress in other lines., § It is said that as a result of the agitation regarding church union, large numbers of men and women who were seldom in attendance at public worship, are now regular attenders and generous contributors. Judging by utterâ€" ances of individuals and the composition of delegations to protest against proposed chanâ€" ges in the O.T.A., an equally large number of men and women not heretofore active in beâ€" half of temperance, will become abstainers and lend their support to their cause.. The future course of some of the presentâ€"day advocates of temperance: will be followed by those who have borne the burden and heat of the day. "By their fruits ye shall know them." is work worth while.. A cheerful beginning makes a good ending to any task. Success is waiting around the corner for the man who puts some of the joy of life into his work. The man who looks up and out and forward is the man who looks good to the most people toâ€" day."

The facts are well established. â€" Factories are closâ€" During the last fiseq) year, according to a statement made by the Hon. George S. Henry, a total of $2,464,995 had been spent in mainteâ€" nance of Highways in the Province, distributâ€" ed as follows, Provincial roads, $1,205,395 ; county roads, $955,395.32, and township roads, $344,054. ‘The cost of construction, it may be added, was much lTower than under the Drury Government. The prospects for an election in June, as some of the Liberal organizers favor, are not very bright. It requires fifty days between the issue of the writs and the date of polling.
