The privilege of electing and having the new minister as its sitting member, fell to North Waterloo, in the election of 1908, in which, after a brilliant campaign, a former Conservative majority was converted into a substantial Liberal victory. For three years feollowing North Waterloo enjoyed the honor and privileges of cabiâ€" net representation, until the election of 1911 when Mr. King was defeated and Sir Wilfrid Laurier‘s gevernment went out of power on the reciprocity issue. . This period, however, was sufficiently long to demonstrate Mr. King‘s ability as an administrator and public speaker and debater of unusual power. His selection by the Rockefell@ Foundation to study and report on industrial conâ€" ditions in the United States, was a recognition of his standing as a student of industrial questions. The citizens of Kitchener and of North Waterloo have been highly honored by the choice of a native son and former member as the head of the great Liberal party of Canada and the Teleâ€" graph takes this opportunity of extending its hearty congratulaâ€" ?‘ ~Among the many resolutions passed by the Liberal Convenâ€" Hon at Ottawa this week the one relating to the tariff was one of %the most important, forming, as it no doubt will, one of the big issues in the next Dominion election. Evidence of the intention of the Unionist party to force the tariff issue is growing and the Liberal platform of tariff reduction will afford the opportunity high tariff Conservative‘Unionists so evidently desire. & The Liberal tariff resolution is a compromise between the free trade demands of the western delegates and the tariff for reâ€" venue men of Ontario and Eastern Canada who hold that the tariil must be retained. The Liberal tariff policy pledges . the party _ to #& substantial reduction of burdens of _ customs taxation, with a view to "diminishing the high cost of living" and "reducing the cost of the instruments of production in the industries based on the natural resources of the Dominion." ger of being swamped hy foreign competition is a question that 3 To â€"this end- the: party pledgés itself to remove _ all duties on wheat flour and all products of wheat, the principal arâ€" ticles of food, farm implements and machinery, farm: tractors, mining flour and sawmill machinery and repair parts thereof, rough and partly dressed lumber; gasoline, illaminating, lubricatâ€" ing and fuel oils; nets, net twines and fishermen‘s equipments; cements and fertilizers, are as well as the raw material entering into the same are also included. the manufacture of which this county is one of the biggest cenâ€" Ares in Canada, and the proposed increase in the British preference %o fifty per cent. which will affect the big woollen industries in and Hespeler.

The new manager is accused of being A theorist, a young cub, a highâ€"brow and other lightly accounted things, by those whose theories take a different direction, or whose plans have not brought the success which they expected an undisâ€" cerning public to grant them. President Wilson was judged to be an impractical person to be chosen as the executive officer of the United States, but he has managed to achieveas much conquea‘tzf cireumstances as would satisfy most reasonable men. . Dr. â€" kenzie King may quite possibly achieve a proportionate success through the exercise of his natural and aequired talents. It is not necessary to exaggerate his ability to recogniÂ¥e that a man, who at 45 attains the position of leader of the half of a nation of 8,000,000 people, must have some kind of ability. The point we wish to make is that nothing is to be gained by minimizing that ability or assuming that the competition it presents is of no importance. "Very much the same attitude has been assumed by Ontario Conservatives in relation to Mr. Hartley Dewart. We have been told he is a negligible quantity. The situation in Ontario at preâ€" sent so closely parallels that existing in 1904, that we nmay be parâ€" doned for returning to it once more. Premier Ross at that time would listen to nobody who would not tell him what he wanted to hear. â€" Premier Hearst is in the same position. A man who tells him the truth is regarded as a traitor, and the witchâ€"doctors are put on his trail to smell him out. â€" The consequence is that he hears nothing but what the Hooks, and the Gooderhams, and the Crawâ€" fords phonograph to him, and the Fergusons of the inner circle put on the records. So everything is set going in approved fashâ€" ion, the campaign is on, the election is called, and after that the rest of the time is spent in explaining why it happened. After reminding Premier Hearst that the Liberals are in power in eight provinces and are in danger of adding another, the World calls for a party convention at which the present leader can be either endorsed or rejected ahd a progressive platform adoptâ€" ed. It remains to be seen whether the World‘s advice will be heeded. . +o ok% ib o 7.\ It does not look as if Hon. Mackenzie King will have to go begging for a seat. + Newspaper editors will be somewhat comforted on learning that Archduke Joseph, the new President of Hungary only had one pair of trousers. North Waterloo will not be represented in the Commons by the coming Premier of Canada, although it had the honor of havâ€" ing the‘new leader of the Liberal Party as its representative at one time. It is announced that the Provincial Government will not hold the provincial elections on the same day as the temperance referâ€" endum is taken. Premier Hearst will likely defer the elections as long as possible. > The success of the Daily Vacational Bible School during the summer holidays reflects credit upon the committee in charge, the teachers and the large classes of boys and girls who took adâ€" vantage of the schools. The Toronto Star points out that Liberalism knows no creed. Of the contestants for the leadership King was a Presbyterian, Fielding a Baptist, Graham a Methodist, and McKenzie a Presbyâ€" terian, while the late leader was a Roman Catholic. The price of milk has been raised from ten to twelve cents in Woodstock. Woodstock housewives are. more fortunate than their Kitchener sisters who after paying eleven cents for some time are now asked to pay thirteen. Does the Oxford dairyman accept less for his milk than the Waterloo producer, or does the deger get the extra cent? Buffalo and other border city merchants have been charging a discount of ten per cent. on Canadian currency as compared with three to four per cent. charged by the banks. The effect has been to stop Canadian purchases over the border. This is one way of correcting the balance of trade and bringing down the heavy exâ€" change on Canadian currency due to adverse balance of trade. Dr. E. C. Cayley, formerly a lecturer at the Veterinary Colâ€" lege, Toronto, whose home is in Bracebridge, has, it is reported, been making extensive experiments in sheep raising in the Musâ€" koka district. He believes five sheep to the acre will be practiâ€" cable in a good season. â€"It is to be hoped that Dr. Cayley may be able to induce Muskoka settlers to go into sheep raising more exâ€" tensively than in the past. Owing to its rocky nature the country is not adapted to general farming, but is suitable for sheep farmâ€" ing. Muskoka lamb has the ':flmmn among tourists of being a choice product, which could {ly be disposed of at good prices. ago Messrs.

Under such a leader the politicians who held to Sir Wilfrid Laurier will remain a peculiar group, between whom and the Liberalâ€"Unionists there can be no reapprochement.

AFTER A KEEN CONTEST (Toronto ‘ilobe.) Mr. King comes to the leadership of Canadian â€" Liberalism after a keen contest with Mr. Fielding, a veteran statesman who has a splendid record of public service as Premier of Nova Scotia and Finance Minister of the Dominion. The majority for Mr. King was but 38 in a total vote polled of over 900. The bulk of his vote came from Quebec, while the Western Provâ€" inces gave Mr. Fielding generous supâ€" ;‘port. doubtless because of his firm ‘sland for reciprocity â€" and for the British preference, in both of which the *Wc'sl is deeply interested. 25 LOSE LIVES WHEN VESSELS _ *% COLLIDE Halifax, Aug. 7.â€"Twentyâ€"five people may have lost their lives in a collision which occurred during the night 3eâ€" tween the Steamer Warwick bound for North Sydney from Wabana, Newâ€" foundland and the Schooner Gallia, from Concape, France, with St. Pierre as her destination.
