It transpires that the Progressives had held a megting and agreed to assist Mr. Meighen a . much as possible. They went quite _'& distance to do this, even to the extent of seeming to endorse Mr. Meighen's fiscal policy. When, how- | ever, they discovered that Mr. Mei- . Shen's shadow cabinet had no con- tutional right to ask for supply felt their obligation was at an 'The spokesmen of the Progres- #lyes on July 1st was Mr. BE. J.

One wonders whether Mr. Ferguson imagines that he. is so secure in this Province that he can do as he likes. Just now responsible government is a vital issue in Federal polities.. Tt looks as it it will have to become a vital issue in Provincial polities if Mr. Ferguson does not change his at- titude. ------ WASTEFUL EXPENDITURES. Speaking at his nominating econ- vention at Eganville on Friday, June 25th, Mr. John Carty, who since 1919 has represented South Renfrew in the Legislature as a Progressive, made some serious charges of wasteful extravagance against the Ferguson Government, reported in The Renfrew Mercury as follows: 4 Proceeding Mr. Carty sald that there were various reasons why the farmers were not satistied with the Ferguson Administration. The farm- ors stood for certain principles, they asked for certain rights, rights which they thought were justly theirs, but these they had not received at the hands of -the present Governnient. The Ferguson Administration had been elected three years ago by what might be called, or not called, a popular vote of the people: of the Province. When the .election was over what was found? There was found a scramble for office. Taking the Department of Lands and For- 6sts was & man by the name of Mr. Keefer, "who contested a con- stituency in the northern part of the Province and advertised himsel} Nas the coming Minister of Lands and Forests. He came down to Toronto to find that somebody was ahead of him and got the position. But a position had to be found for him ahd he was made honorary secretary for Northern Ontario, a position abso- lutely worthless to the people of the Province and 'was drawing a salary of $5,000 a year. That man was cal: ed Minister without portfolio. » Then there was Mr. Hart of Sim- coe, a man who had worked hard for 'the Conservative party. But at the convention he lost; stil he had to be losked after, and a new position was created for him----inspector of crown timber agents, If any present could tell what that position was, Mr. Carty could not. Mr.. Hart was going the length and breadth of the Province organizing in the interes of the: tive party, and i ing down the handsome salary o! $6,000, with last year $2,000 as ex- penses. Mr. Carty sald he could go on and cite dozens and dozens of ex- amples such as this. According to Mr. Carty two posi- tions. have béen Created for disap- pointed Conservative politicians. This is not the economy that was promised by Mr. Ferguson when he took office. BLIND VETERAN GRADUATES AS A LAWYER. 3 The story of Charles J, Bronner of Detroit is a most inspiring one. Bronner is a victim of the world war. ' He is blind, he has no hands and he is deat in one ear. His victory over adverse conditions last- ing through years of suffering and pain and month after month spent in hospitals, is one which must excite admiration fn every heart. ° Bronner was badly injured dut- dng the war. He lost both eyes and both hands. As if that were not enough for him to suffer, last year he had sleeping sickness for several months. In spite of all that he graduated in June from the Univer- sity of Maryland ss a lawyer. - +. When he was discharged from the U. 8.

It is doubtful if any other human being in the world has made such a successful struggle against what appeared to be almost impossible conditions.

The Guelph Mercury reports Byng as going over the top and then with a twinkle adds: "May be shutting a blind eye to the®constitution." Just so! { What a pity that the Detroit slayer who placed a rose ia the -hand of his victim after death didn't get sentimental before committing thy ocrime. .

Thomas Jefferson, an idol of the United States, died one hundred years ago. The land he loyed is no longer a place where "Jeffersonian simplicity prevails."
