ROCK MILLS Conservatives And Temper- ance From The Meaford Mirror Some time ago Premier Drurv asser- ted that the election campaign would be fought on the 0. T. A. Since then attacks by Liberal and other organi- zations on the Conservative party have been along the line that it was anti- O. T A. and anti-temperance. These attacks were based o.i Leader Ferguson's caaual remark, made in British Columbia, that he would pro- duce at the phychological moment a temperance policy that would please everybody, or something to that effect. Thciv has been no lack of Assurance froTn Conservative newspapers, in which we would like to join, that* there must be no trifling with the O. T. A. The Conservative party gave to Ontario the O. T. A-, in response to a strong demand, from t^.e voters, after the Liberal party had attempted similar legislation, and had been re- jected at the polls. Premier Hearst, in response to a pe- tition of more than half the entire number of voters in the Province, en- acted the legislation Whatever the cause of his defeat, the recent history of the Conservative party has been one of steady progress in temperance reform. It' a small portion of the party in the last Legislature happens to have been rather wet in its predilections, and decidedly wet in its publio utterances, it should not be.'wnsidered^that the Conservative party is a " %vct " party. Assuredly, the O. T. A. is not an issue in this election, and Mr. Ferg- uson is playing a dignified part when he declines to b dragged into a discussion of the O. T. A. aa an election issue; he was minister of the aabinet enacting the O. T, A., and there is no discussion as to the advisability of relaxing its restrictions in any way.

Jack Miner On Conservation "lama forest conservationist first, last a id all the time, ' said Jack Miner, the noted wild life advocate, in a recent interview. "A man couldn't run fast enough to give me a home where the trees arc already grown. 1 want to grow my own. i have studied the woods at! my life and, while 1 have rfevcr read any books on forestry, 1 have done some tall thinking and studying in the woods themselves. In the last ten years I have planted lul'y ten thousand trees on my own place at Kings\ille>, and I want to say that 1 consider it one of the most important and satisfying jobs I have ever done. The last four thousand trscs 1 got I planted in clay soil where trees wouldn't grow. This had been proved because another fellow's father and Uncle Dave had tried it and found it couldn't be done ; but my old backwoods education refused to be discouraged, 1 planted these trees in 1914 and although when planted they were no higher than ordinary tomato plants- they are now, in eighth year, twelve to sixteen feet high and the naked clay lield, as it u 1131:1 1914, now attracts the public from far and wide that I have had to fence it in, something 1 never dreamed of doing."
