I As might have been anticipated, Mr. Leighton MIcCarthy has issued, an announcement, withdrawing from North Simcoe as a. candidate for fut-, ure political honors, and incidentally foreshadowing his retirement to pri- vate life. Whatever reasons .may be alleged for the step, the real cause is not far to seek. Mr. McCarthy must have been made aware from the trend of events in the constituency that his support was gradually but surely peteringout. Elected as an independent, by a drop of over'5oo "from the previous. contest, he. first` wobbled, and then bolted direct[to' the enemy.` The last move was ap- s patently his trump card, but the play "failed, ' It` is safe to say," that outside a ithe` oice-holding` and ,oice-seek? n.

Under old conditions, if-a bidder found he had paid too much for his timber, he sometimes failed to` pay after the] ,sale, and left the limit with the` `Crown. If he found he had several: millions more than he thought he was buying he_ was simply that much` in-and the Government that much !out. There will be no more guess- mg.
