in the political camiiaien now bems S0

vigorously carried on throughout the p!‘0- vince many issues have been raised, H}2}U_y red herrings drawn across the trail._ _f_hiS is the- scheme of the wily ,politician to confuse the electors, to divert attention from the main, the only issue. There is only one issue toda_v before the electors of Canada, that is whether We Hl`_0 g01}1g lf’ stayin the war or sneak out of it.` _We _are nowface to face with decision on this point.

" mu ome. n enmmmwii. umm- om" ¢¢ sum menace of Laurierism in this”campai_gn_

mi-.ian A\b°'*°"' °"""° “”“ "°"*'l“°- , Laurierism stands for Canada qllltlll-'1_§

-this war, and, because it stands for that, it has the"support of -every“racialist in the Province of Quebec, of every pro-German in Ontario, of enemy aliens in the West, and of every Poltrofm Secretly Or Semshjykiariiestly concerned about this mat-

slack or recreant or hostile to our cause in this conflict. - _

every effort and stop at no sacrifice to ach- ieve victory for Union. The forces of re- action and moral surrender are well or,- ,ganized and powerful; they have money, ‘machine politicians, and the advantage of carrying appeal to the discontented, the disgruntled and all the other fortuitous voters \vho either ignorantly or selfishly

It is useless, as well us wasteful of time and tape susceptible to unworthy innuencw

energy, to wrangle over the virtues or the 'vices of- former political parties. 'ine for- mer political parties are now non--éxist-

If Union is to triumph against these forc-

es, its supporters must toil without ceas- ing. Pious professions and support not

cnt. There is no Liberal Conser_\'ative par- ty, no Liberal pai'ty. Instead of the foi'iiiei‘, we have a Unionist party made up of form-Ii er Liberals and Conservatives. Insteadi of the Liberal party we have the Lauriei'-' iles, made up of those Liberals and Con - scrvatives who profess to approve of the war policy of Sir Wilfrid l.atiriei', and it, does not include one of Laurier’s former; lieutenaiits or leaders. ~ No other issuesl were considered when thc former parties broke up; no question of finan_ce_or trade' or immigration, or railway building' or oi methods of government arose. There was | one question only, namely, how Canada was| to carry out hei‘ promise to the Motherland and to her Allies, to herself and her army, and on this question alone the parties div- ided. Sir Robert Borden, as the leader ol the Union Govei'nment enunciated the po- licy of the govemnient on this question._' The Military Service Act with its principle! of selective conscription, is the main plank in that policy; Sir Wilfrid Laurier, as lead- ei° of the Laui'iei'ites, enunciated the policy of his party.‘ In that policy the main plank is to”proceed no further under the present Military Service Act but, instead, to have a referendum and if the referendum should decide that the Military Service Act is un- desirable then to give it up for he has giv- en no other alternative.

These are the two policies and the people

are asked to choose one or the other. Those who are content to throw the country into the turmoil of another general elec- tion on the Laurier 1'eferei_idum and to, await its result for a year or longer; to' send no more help to the army if Quebec and the enemy aliens and slackers so de- cide, will vote for the Laurier candidates. Those who want to see the Military Service Act carried out and carried out immediate- lv will vote for the Union Government.

O 'I`Ill‘I 'l~`.\Rl\IIiR'S SON

The complaint that ,contrary to the un-

dertaking given by the Premier that con - scription would not take men from the farms into the army, the tribunals have been refusing exemption to farmers’ sons is effectively answered by General Mew- burn, Minister of Militia. Many of. of the tribunals have erred in the cases of appli- cation from sons of farmers. Probably they preferred to be on the safe side, knowing that any errors they might make in this connection would be rectified either through appeals or through Government action. It was not always easy for them to determine whether or not a claim on the ground that the applicant was engaged in agriculture was bona fide. , General Mewburn now states emphati- cally that any farmer’s son who is engaged in the production of food on the farm and who is drafted into the army will be dis - charged from the forces if he will go back to work on the farm.

The Premier was sincere in his promise

that agriculture would not be handicapped by conscription. The Government is going to see that the promise is fulfilled. ` ---ii0r-~--

As the campaign progresses, the pro - cesses of simplification go on; doubts are " cleared up:.issues, which have been blur- red in the fog of over-heated rhetoric, be- come clear.

A few days ago the people of Canada

learned beyond all ouestion where Henri Bourassa and the Nationalists of Quebec stand in relation to the issue between Uni- on Government and Sir Wilfrid Laurier.

On Saturday night the Prussian tactics

of a Kitchener mob in howling' down Sir Robert Borden made unmistakeably clear the attitude of pro-Germans.

“The woman who votes in this contest

votes by the right of her sacrifice. She finds her right in the morning call of our regiments; _she sees it on the honor roll of our churches; she traces her title overseas to the trench where her son defends her, to the grave where her husband sleeps. I say to the enfranchised women of this pro- vince: This Union Government is formed for the primary purpose of making sure that those sons and husbands are at all hazards and at any sacrifice, supported by the nation at home.

“It is idle to remind me that Sir Wilfrid

ter. But why? In comparison with winning the war, in comparison with demonstrating Cauada’s rcso- lution to support the common cause and to reinforce adequately and promptly her divisions at the front, the.f:-ite of either party in Canada, or of both, is manifestly a matter of minor consequence.

PREPARING HAPPY MEMORIES.

(L. D. Stearns.)

If you wont ii. garden that ls n. de-

light to the c-ye we do not stand back toss In ii few cabbage and onlon seeds and expect to go forth some future day and gather roses and lllles.

lt ls the law of llie-the law of an eternal God-that every effect has lts_ underlying cause, and so. would we‘ gather roses, lllles, and plnks from our garden bei] we have first to spade nnd richen the earth, sow the proper seed. and tend with all diligence and rare. In exactly the same way. if we expect a happy tomorrow we have to plant a clean, bright today. It ls the only way. Selfish seeking of one's own pleasure- onefs own way- will never cause a single happy memory in the days to come.

God loves beauty-the rugged:

rocks; thc- stately mountains and hills; the trees, in steady strength; the sea; the red of sunset and the plnk of dawn are all alike his handl- work. And to each of us, Individually he luis given a human soul to mold into a thing of joy and beauty, fit for his use and pleasure.

. as to the true nature oi' some of

ln Kitchener.

of Kitchener liuve- frequently complained ot' the dlsloyal ,talk and actions of many of their German fellow citizens, and re- cently, followlng the Italian re- verse, eneniy synipxfthizers in that city ha-ve, lt is stated, been

getting very hold.
