His election was made unanimous. BOWSER WILL LEAD B. C. CONSERV ATIVES. The Farmers‘ Sun, the official organ of the United Farmers of Ontario has declared itself opposed to the "Broadening Out" ideas of Premier Drury. It says in its latest issue "the controversy toâ€"day is not over principles but over methods. United Farmers who do not accept ‘Broadening Out‘ are not opposed to converting other than farmers to the prinâ€" ciples they have set forth or to coâ€"operating with them but to the proposition that the only method of converting them is to abandon entirely the original purpose of the venture into politics and organize a new party." The discussion of the question which shows no sign of abating is certainly enlightening. ‘‘The general opinion here in Washington is that Mexico is determined to straighten out her external relations, political, financial and economic, and that the agreement of the Mexican Government to pay the principal and interest on its external debts, is the precurâ€" ‘‘The danger of the armed conquest by the United States has practically passed. If Mexico is conquered now it will be by Ameriâ€" can capital." ‘"The principal provisions of the settle ment are that payment of interest shall be resumed on January 2, 1923, and shall be conâ€" tinued with reliance upon special funds, until five years later, when full service charges on the loans shall be assumed; that cash payâ€" ments of interest in arrears shall be waived and that this dbligation, part of which is virtually cancelled, shall be amortized over a period of years; and that the railways be reâ€" turned to private management, the Mexican Government guaranteeing by indorsement the railways‘ debt not now so guaranteed." There is still some difficulty over the article in the Mexican Constitution which deâ€" clares that subsoil rights of the country are State property and though legally acquired may be confiscated. The Mexican Supreme Court however has given a decision that this article does not refer to subsoil rights acquirâ€" ed by foreigners previous to the adoption of the Constitution and the general opinion of the United States papers seems to be that the difficulty is likely to be overcome. Writing in the New York Evening World regarding the Mexican situation, a well informâ€" ed American, Mr. Lawrence, makes the followâ€" ing interesting observations as reported in MacLean‘s Magazine: ‘"The crux of the situation, of course, is in Washington, for until the United States Govâ€" ernment makes up its mind to recognize the Obregon Administration, the rest of the Govâ€" ernments of the world will withhoid action. Similarly the extension of recognition by the United States will mean instantly the recogniâ€" tion by the whole world. ‘"Mexico‘s readiness to put her financial house in order will naturally make it difficult for the American Government to delay reâ€" cognition unduly, for, after all, the normal requirements are a capacity to govern and maintain order, and a willingness to satisfy international obligations. sor of consent to a treaty of amity which will mean automatic recognition of the Obâ€" regon Government.

ADVERTISING RATES The name "Liberalâ€"Conservative Party" was accepted by the British Columbla Conservative convention. While many delegates stuck to their objection to "hyphenated" titles and diluted versions of "Conservative Party," which they claimed was good enough for any party, the motion was finally carried after eloquent apâ€" peals from Senators Taylor and Green and Leon Ladmer, M.P., for th. adoption of the name suggested by Right Hon.

As anticipated they gave a very cred: itable account of themselves at the Exhibition. The Canadian National Exhibition at Toronto is again attracting thousands from all parts of Canada and the United States. It is a strong factor in instructing Canadians as to the varied and abundant resources of the Dominion and at the same time embodies other features which make a day spent at the Exhibition an informing and delightful one. This week the schools reâ€"opened and indiâ€" cations are thaf the attendance during the year will more than tax their capacity to acâ€" commodate the many young hopefuls who deâ€" sire an education. â€" An exchange remarks that when one looks around one wonders what the next generaâ€" tion is going to amount to if it continues the spirit of helplessness of the present. Nowadays it says, when a man wants anything done he proceeds to get someone else to do it for him; he either cannot do it himself or hasn‘t the time, or won‘t go to the bother of rolling up his shirt sleeves. How different it all is, it further says, from the days of our forefathers when they were compelled to do things themâ€" selves or go without. There is, we must confess, a good deal of truth in these observations of our friend. ~*‘Premier King on the occasion of a bat quet pendered him af Toronto on Wednei day by the Ontario Liberal and the Ontari Women‘s Liberal Associations, vigorously set forth Liberalism‘s opportunitiee and duties. He further emphasized the_fact that Liberal organization must get away from centralizaâ€" tion at Ottawa to the riding associations He received an enthusiastic reception, Premier King in his comprehensive adâ€" dress referred to various questions which have been the subject of discussion in Parlia ment and on the public platform. The tenâ€" dency towards centralization was specially stressed. He said that toâ€"day it is the Provinces that are seeking to impose responsibility and authority on the Dominion Government, menâ€" tioning in this connection the controversy over the marketing of grain, ° unemployment, the coal miners‘ striks in Nova Scotia and the fuel famine. This was, he conâ€" tended, not as it should be. It was for the Provinces to assume responsibility in many of these matters. He further said that the Government sought to meet the views of Parliament of which it regards itself as a committee not a master, this attitude being taken in regard to the railwags and to the tariff. Public gatherings such as that addressed by Mr. King serve a useful purpose in affordâ€" ing an opportunity of learning something about the stewardship of the Government which is guiding the destinies of Canada at the present time and hearing a public expresâ€" sion of the views held by men occupying imâ€" portant positions of responsibility. There is nothing like taking the public into their conâ€" fidence on questions of vital interest to the welfare of this fair land if those who represent the Canadian people wish to retain and hold the support of the electorate. If the legislation passed is in the interests of the country op portunities for informing the public as to its merits should be cordially welcomed. NOT LIKE OLD TIMES.

WINNIPEG, Aug. 28.â€"Manitoba‘s crop yield will average this year higher than any crop year in the past decade, according to estimate announced by the Provincial Deâ€" partment of Agriculture. This year wheat will average 20 bushels to the acre, against the 10â€"year average of 16.4; oata will run 40 to 45 bushâ€" els, against 34.5, and barley 30 bush els, against 24.5. The above esti mates are based on reports from all districts in the province. Arguing that some of the modâ€" ern bathing outfts are altogether "too saucy in their trim and cut," the Reeve made a lengthy plea for his resolution. A majority of the Council finally decided to leave the question to the "‘discretion" of the bathers. ‘The business district at Tampico, Mexico last week was swept away by fire. Three persons are known to be dead and twelve persons were sbriously injured. Property damage estimated at more than $5,000,000 was caused. The origin of the fire is not known.
