One of the great needs of the tour- ist business in this Province when the hotel is completed will be ade- quate bungalow accoznmodarion for the large class of visitors who prefer the sea-shore and fishing streams to my city.

THE WINNIPEG SPEECH. ' The much vaunted speech of firs; Right Hon. Mackenzie King de-j livered at Winnipeg on Friday even-l fng ‘W8; rather inconsoquental con-i aidering the importance attached m! his western trip and the importance‘, attaching to the man delivering it.‘ He seems carefully to have glossed‘ over all the questions discussed in Parliament and of special interest to the West except the tariff. Of course.) as he progresses on his journey the} Prime Minister may take up issues! of local importance; but Winnipeg} es he flattered it. u a point for ma‘. broadcasting of national policies and‘ one would imagine that his speaking . there afforded the opportunity oil dwelling upon the attitude of tho Government on a number of ques- tions-crn the transfer of natural re- sources from the Dominion to the ‘J88 middle west Provinces, the ap- pointment of women to the Senate. the Gt. Lawrence waterways. the cx- port of liquor to the United States. the development of the Peace River district, the equaliration of rates eastward from Vancouver m Fort William on a basis of rates from Fort William westward, the action of the wheat pool in bulldmg up many millions of bushels of wheat for higher prices and even 1m; stock situation. apropos. A Liberal paper in Ontario the other day made thisi remark. obviously in Jest. “"I'hc‘. Nation's business.’ says Premier King,‘ ‘is sound.‘ That is true. Nevurihcles: ' it will strike a whole lot of people that it is too much the sound of the liock tape tickerF-which is another evidence of the truth of an adagel that many of the truest things are said in jest. Had the holocaust in‘ stocks been delayed until after the‘; Premier's western irip the phenomen- al rise in almost all securities would‘

have been pointed to as proof of our '

great prosperity.

Premier King refused to discuss the political situation because he said there was no political situation. Everything was lovely and the goose‘ hung high. ‘I'm constitutional status

was settled; the finances of the coun- ‘

try were sound as a dollar; transpon- tation problems no longer existed- although the Prime Minister had only just risen from his scat in the Privy Council where for three days an ap- peal from the Board of Railway ycmmiasioners hld been argued. a base in which ail four western Dw-

devoted to the mm in relation to the United Btdiee. and he very resa- onably lmwd that Canada can do nothing about the minced ‘U. 8. tariff bill until it was known defin- nely what there was to deal with. \ He reiterated his position taken last i session that m the meantime we i should do nothing w impalr friendly {relations with our neighbors south Iofus. Buthedid not indicatein the smallest degreewhat the Govern- i ment would or should do in case the i proposed tarlfi legislation now be- .’ fore Congress should become law. the i truth being thatythe Governmenthu [ no policy in the matter at all. other than that of following the Christian example of, when struck on one cheek, turning the other also. l, The Advisory Board on Tar-if! and , Taxation, me Premier declared, would ibe the Government's guide in thede imatters. This wonderful Board has

l‘ been functioning for several years, but there is no evidence that Finance

Minister Robb paid any heed what- ever to ix. in preparing his last two ‘budgets. Last session he refused to say whether he had even read any of ithe evidence laid before the Board.

{Shakespeare spoke about the "bese- ieas fabric of this vision." The pm- ‘ceedlngs of the Tariff Board are a lsort of smoke screen which is its [chief usefulness. ‘

There were pleasant reference: to Premier Ramsay MacDonald's visit, and inter-imperial trade, but no

iatmr should be best promoted. The speech. on the whole, reads well and no doubt listened well. but when searched for light or leading on the important issues of the day on: finds only glittering generalities and smoothly gliding evasions.

A CANDID FRIEND

There is cold comfort to the Lib- eral readers of the Manitoba Free Press in the summing up of that newspaper on the Ontario elections. Unlike the smaller party journals which can draw 0n their imagination for the facts. the Free Press has a re- pufazion to sustain. So it says:

"Much the best way of interpret- ing election results is to accept the surface indications as supplying the true explanation; nine times outof zen this tells the complete story. Applying this rule to the Ontario election it. is evident timt the peo- ple of Ontario, by a very large margin indeed. approve of the Fer- guson Government and all its poli- cizs and works."

The concluding advice of the Free Press is worthy of Marcus Aurelius:

"Defeat is always loss bitter ii it is taken in good part. as no doubt it Will be by the Liberals of Cm- tario. They expected little and they have got less; and there is no- thing for them to do but with such philosophy as they can muster to render the people the very slight services which it is within their power to perform and await with patience the turn of the tide which n~ver fails to come in Canada though it may be long delayed."

Bertrand Russell says that "obser- vation of life shows one that solemn people ere generally humbuga."

no aahmea slamme- of enforc- inganyiiquorlawihatiaatrougly rstrictive an very great. ‘mat fact has led Senator shepherd. of ma. to bring forward a proposal that the

v ‘ ‘Actahalibeaoameadedas to make the bu!!!‘ equally guiltywith theaellerinallaalesofliquorused as a. beverage. This has started a renewed connictbetween the Wefs and. the Dry: in Cmgress and has also spilt both the Dry and wet camps.

The newspapers throughout the country and their correspondents have taken up the new question and are discussing i; with vigor. The Literary Digest, publishes the portraits of three of the fronirrank prohibition leaders who favor Senator Sheppard's pro- posal. and the portraits of three other equally prominent prohibition- ist leaders who oppose it. Newspaper extracts printed by the Digest show that the Wet camp is divided iniike manner.

Broadly speaking. the Dry advo- cates who support" the Sheppard amendment do so on the ground that both seller and buyer are equally guilty. and therefore should be sub- ject to equal penalties; also on the ground that the great defect in the Volstcad law was that it did not make the penalties for seller and buyer equal in the first instance.

Prohibitionists who stand opposed to the Sheppard plan point out that a seller cannot be compelled to give evidence against himself. and it is very rarely that an unlawful sale is made in presence of a third party. When a. seller is convicted of mak- ing an unlawful sale it is almost in- variably the evidence of the buyer that leads to the conviction. flow could one who bought liquor from a bootlegger. give evidence to convict the bootiegger, if by so doing his testi- mony would convict both himself and the bootlegger?

Many Wets who favor Sheppard's plan claim that it would make pro- hibition so intolerable that it would lead to the early repeal of the 18th Constitution Amendment! Other Weis take en opposite view to this and the camp Ls split wide .open. Senator King maintains that "Con- gress cannot create a new crime." Senator Borah says: "It ls a very close question. Undoubtedly the Su- preme court will have w pass on it.”

premiu- King is having a hard time under discouraging conditions in Prairie Land.“ Saskatchewan had just been lost" to Liberalism before he set out westward and“ that disaster was quickly followed after he had arrived by the crushing defeat ofthe Liberal forces in Ontario. 1t no doubt reminded him that he himself had been rather driven from pillar to P95?‘ in his political career. Defeated in Ontario he found a brief-refuge in Prince Edward Island where he soon wore out his welcome._ 1118MB hi? went back to an Ontario scat. But he could not hold it 1011B.

His last refuge had been in Sas- katchewan. and the P0liii081 FY05‘ pects of both himself and one of his principal lieutenants-Mr. Dunning- had been rudely shaken by the over- turn in that quarter. No doubt Mr. it B. Bennett's convincing addreses had been moving the people o! the West in a rather disturbing fashion and something must be done.

so Mr. King set out to answer Mr. Bennett. and a rather sorry attempt he made 9f it. The gist of his argu- ment was that the Unifl-‘d Stine! had a perfect right to make a tariff to suit themselves and how wuld Ml‘- King and his Government legislate to meet an American tariff until the Americans had completed their work? We; it not batter? for Canada to wait. as had been done?

Of course the Premier's followers

cheered "him. as is the custom 0f many dyed-in-the-wool followers. but his attempted answer to Mr. Bennett was no answer at ail. The Ameri- can tariff on Canadian productsmnd especially on products of the firm, had long been from two to five times as high as the Canadian tariff and the King Government had done no- thing to protect the Canadian farmer in his own home market. Th; uneq I arrangement had 80119 on until Americans were selling twice as much of their stuff in Canlllfl l5 they were buying of Canldlefl SWIT- Qm- Liberal Government's policy had been from the nrstpro-Amerisen ""1 anti-Canadian. Nor wu this all. The King Government had made trade treaties with Australia and New Zea- land under which butter and some emu (arm products were being dump- ed into Canada on paving lmelifily fractional and negligible rate of duty. 'I'hla has been continued. and the imports of butter from that quarter had rapidly increased from Y1!!!‘ W year. notwithstanding loud protests from Canadian farmers and dairy- men.

Temperance In Ontario

(‘Iiuiesontollallaedlnplrei

In the inquest that is being held on the remains of the Liberal petty, some attempt is made fa ahmv that that party is a martyr mo» cause of iemperance. vehement prohibition allies of the wet wing of the Liberal party might go the length of so ex- plaining the fate of liberalism. In the course of the campaign they made statements no nearer the truth. no: more lacking in sense of humor or commonsense. and might in their weird seriousness thus account for the defeat of the party with which they had such close affinity. At least they maintain that temperance was a leading issue in the election. No- body will deny that more emphatical- 1y than the greet body of citizens who are true promoters of temper- ance. Theywould reaenbthe sug- gestion thatthe uphoiders of iAm- perance had shrunken to the rem- nant of the Liberal party elected to the Legislative Assembly.

HORMONE IN WESTERN CANADA

A. The first party of‘ Mormons to enter Alberta came from Utah in i886. where they organised a “Stake of Zion." in Canada under the lead- ership of President Card, whofound- ed the city of Cardstdn near the in- ternational boundary. These settl- ers became successful farmers and raiaers of beet sugar through the systems of irrigation- established by them. According to the census of i921 there were nearly 20.000 Mor- mons in all Canada. more than half being in Alberta where they have erected a million dollar temple.
