NO TIME FOR A CHANGE. -- Business Principles Applied « Cry. Hon. D. C. Fraser. In all our relations in life we never change unless we think we are going to better ourselves. No one ever leit one farm and went to another uniess he thought he was going to betrer himself, and the sum total of all change is for betterment. You never change vour teacher, doctor or clergy- man unless you are going to get "a better one. Of course wherever you go for a lawver vou get an honest man. (Great laughter.) You never change your merchant unless you know vou can do better. You never change your friends unless they give yoa very good reason to take up others, What would you think of & man whose friendship you had enjoy- ed for thirty vears if he should cut you without a reason? What woula vou think if you should ask him for a reason and he should say, "No, but | heard Mr. Whitney say it was time for a change." (Laughter.) You never heard such 'a thing in ordinary life. One thing about Canadian life to day was that we could come to 'On tario and take an interest in affairs, because if this province was well-gov erned the dominion would feel it. He felt it down by the sounding sea, as they felt it in the west by the placid Pacific.
