THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1026 / An Honest Appeal Harry Sifton, the Liberal candidate in North York is carrying on a type ,of campaign which cannot help but fav- orably impress and appeal to the independent voter. He is confining his campaign utterances to the election issues and is making no rash promises. “I will promise nothing I can- not fulfiill,” he says “but I will. promise that I will devote my whole time and thevery best of my ability to the task of representing North York at Ottawa.” Mr. Sifton is a man of ability, with an" excellent education and a character and reputation which commands respect and honor in all classes of society. He is anxious and willing to serve the electors of this constituency and judging by the present in- dications the people of the riding on Tuesday September 14 will make sure that the offer is accepted. Harry Sifton is the type of Canadian manhood which is needed in our legis- lative halls to-day. His entry into public life will help re- store the confidence of the people in our political leaders which has‘been severely tested by such men as the DeWitt Fosters, Garlands, Handons, Jones, Nichollsons and others we might mention. A vote for Sifton is a vote to raise the standard of our Canadian public life. ‘l Actions Speak Louder Than Words Premier Meighen denies that he influenced Conservatâ€" iwe senators to defeat the old age pension bill. What he cannot deny is that the bill was defeated by Conservatives in the Senate. Only one member of his party gave it sup»- port in the Upper house. Had it been supported there by Conservatives, Mr. Meighen would not now be making promises of what he will try to do about old age pensions if returned toxpower. Liberals voted for the measure ‘in both houses. I Canada Needs Stable deerninent The election campaign is developing into more than a local issue. It isn’t a matter of Sifton or Lennox but the issue is vastly more important and tremendously far reach- ing in its effect on our national life. Last session a large amount of valuable legislation was lost because the King government did not have sufficient majority in the house to carry the. many good measures to a successful conclusion. We must have stable government. We must have a govâ€" ernment at Ottawa with sufficient majority to carry on with- out the fickle support of different groups and parties in the house. If we sit by and think it quietly over as Canadians, and not at all as party men is it not reasonable that most people at this juncture should decide in favor of the Liberal party under the leadership of Mr. King rather than the Con- servative party under the particularly poor leadership of Mr. Mei hen? A careful, thoughtful, and independent sur- vey of t e entire Dominion reveals the fact that the Con- servative party under the leadership of Arthur. Meighen can’t possibly win. They will loose seats in Ontario and in the Maritimes and a possible gain of one or two in Quebec due to the capitulation‘ of Meighen to the Patenaudeâ€"ll’loii- treal big money private ownership interests will be more than offset by large Liberal gains in the Western Provin- ces. Until the Conservative party, which has in its ranks many excellent and eificient men can free itself from the strangle hold of the big interests and men of the type of DeWitt Foster, Jones, Nichollson, Doucet, as well as sever- al' other men who hold cabinet positions, the party can never hope to gain the confidence of the great mass of the Canadian people. /A vote'for- ifton is a vote for stable government. Bad Example Platform orators in the present campaign should be re- minded that when they descend to personal abu‘s'e‘ hey are not enlightening the people in regard to public issue . They may be'rewarded by deafening cheers, but they are not wm- ning the confidence of thinking people. ' There 'are bad examples to be found, of course, eve_n_in the history of British politics. When O’Connell called Dis- raeli a “descendant of ,the impenitent thief of the cross.” he was not establishing a new regord in “parliamentary” lan- guage. There were times when honorable members resort- led to their fists when they felt that words were inadequate to express their feelings. (But there are British traditions to be honored as well as bad examples to be avoided. ‘ And Canadian leaders and political candidates should bear in mind that they do not help but injure their cause when they forget the decencies of public discussion. Campaign Courtesy Party feeling runs so high during an election that orâ€" dinary courtesies, taken for granted sometimes attract pub- lic attention. At Portage La Prairie. for instance. Mr. King, the Liberal leader, was formally welcomed by the president of the local Conservative association. who happens to be the mayor of the town. As president of the Conser- vative association it was that gentleman’s duty.to oppose Mr. King politically, but as mayor of the town it was his duty to extend a welcome to the visitor. The significant thing is. not that there should be such a display of courtesy, but that it should be considered worth while to draw attention to it. Presumably we cannot all agree in regard to matters political. and perhaps it IS. not advisable that we should; but at least we can agree to differ. We all know that. deep in our hearts, we may have the high- est respect for the character and even the intelligence of friends and neighbors from whom we profess to differ as widely as the poles. ’ Good For The Soul In declining to nominate as Candidates men of unsavory political reputations and others of unsavory professional reputation. conventions of the Liberal Party are leading the ',‘iiy.â€"â€"Fi'edricton Gleaner (Cons) Confessions Let's share the joy of the pupils ‘is they anticipate the early opening of the schools. , All Industrie s of the ' By OB Article No. 3 There was never an easier proposi- tion to prove than that Canada is marching forward, and has been for the last five years.

' I ane again. let. us turn to the proofs of the forward march. THE. IMMIGRATION INFLOW Even the Ottawa Journal (Coni- off- sets its lugubrious wailings over national conditions under Liberal rule l by saying "that a stimulating sign ls l that immigration is taking on larger [)I‘ODOIllonS this year than for many years past.

Our sales of live cattle creasing, year by year the British restrictions have been in part removed, with shipments of 100.\000 in 1925 compared with 78.600 In 1924, and 55.400 in 1323. Packers of meats reported a fair year with meat exports for the year ending October, 1925, of over $32,000,000. . DAIRYING INDUSTRY 9 Speaking of the dairy industry, it now exceeds the total mining industry of the country; that is, 3300000090 as against $228,000,000 for mining. and with a dairy production in 1900 of only are in- now that $94,000,000. The exports of cheese and but» ter and allied products maintain their lead until the fifty-million dollar mark has been passed. Every report from dominion and provincial author- ities indicate steady increases, espec- ially in the prairie provinces. all of which helps to make the lot of the husbandman a not unenviable one. TRANSPORTATION PROSPERITY The pulse or transportation also be- speaks the health of a. land. For where there is activity in transmissiorf of products and goods there must be a corresponding activity in the initial production. and this happy condition does not prevail when “the dregs of depression” are being sounded. What story do our railways ‘ell, for example? 9 Not only that Cur loadings have shown a. steady increase every month for the last eight, although that of itself is a most significant Slgn. but the traffic returnSA are equally satisfactory. The Canadian National reports a. gain in net earn- ; Ings of no less than 1396 per cent. dur- ; mg the first six months of 1926, with the. highest gross records in its history. and with a still ascending scale that should be greatly accen- tuated with ‘he carriage of the 1926 crop. Think of the net earnings of this system ior June. 1926 of $1,941,077. as against an operating deficit of 5-}??? 3743 in June of 1925. The C. P. H. tells a relatively . smirizir story. while its stock contin- lies to hold a nigh value.

Canal transportation tells its own story with an increased tonnage of 1.979.623 m 1925 over 1324; or a. total of 18,789,709 tonsas against 16.810.08G in 1924. The Welland canal for instancr broke all records in 1925 for grain shipments of 136,000,000 bushels and it is reasonable to anticipate that the 1926 records will include some new records as well. The great arteries of trade, by land and sea. inland and foreign, speak of our national forward march in this important realm of life. Even the government merchant marine showed a marked bettermcn‘ m/ 1925. THE Mioas’ roucn ' Canada nas_the Midas touch in her gold deposits, which are yielding more and more of wealth. She is producing more of the precious metal than ever. with $35.880fi26 in 19251, as against $31.- 332.443 in 1924. In 1900 it was only SEE-1.000.000. 0 It comes as a. surprise that On- tario alone, within only fifteen years. has produced 5200000000 Worth oi gold, and the word comes i‘roiii this northern Uniario gold field of large increases in the extension of the roducnig; as Hollinger, z'liilc the air is full of rumors of new Old Woman The Yukon is still a British Columbia Is a l ’Country Increasing l l l l milli'S, SUCH fields in the Red Lake. and other a ’1 region; \' profiligun ~ old with unmoved methods with prospects: of reâ€" of the C: The lllllllZlLI iicltl :lioo £2 sscrtion rltni we are only beginning to mine aniu'irls ill the. dominion; or that We not.» ii'irdlz' ::';:.lc‘.:(-r'l the surface in ‘-l {‘l't‘llll‘llllili'y prospecting way, would mil-.21". to be true. ‘znqv-vrc-fi. u johf'FVâ€"x r L' w ii in: \ .i.fiill-\ll.;..‘rw’:.ll." - ‘ ~'.'E:1A-' [find so with all other l.‘.l;"(‘l‘."lS. niet< ltallm and llOll-l’netflllic.

Other expansmns are under way at the refining plants IN 'Port Colborne. Lead went ahead nearly $10,000,000, and zinc and other metals in proportion. In the realm of fuels and non- metallics all except coal showed an in- crease in 1925 over 1924, and even in the latter the yield value was close to,the 550000.000 mark. Asbestos made a. big, jump with the renewed activity in that field, natural gas the same. as well as cement, clay products and lime. The federal deputy minister of mines is the authority' for the state- ment that Canada. to-day is one of the most important mining countries in the world and that its underground jumped ali touched. All of which helps to warrant the claim of a nation’s forward march. THE STEEL INDUSTRY A successful year is anticipated for the Canadian steel industry in 1926. the per capita. production of which is on the upgrade. The production for the first quarter of 1926 showed a monthly increase tn the four blast furnaces in operation. Few perhaps realize the size or im- portance of this industry or that over a thousand concerns viere engaged in 1924 in the manufacture of iron and steel and their products in which $535,- 000,000 is invested and the combined production value of which was $368.- l 476.650. ,OIL WEALTH I Then what about oil? The press "is full of reports of activity in this relatively new field of resource de- velopment. i It is most significant that the Hud- ‘son's Bay Company has arranged for l the exploration and development of the oil rights on their extensive western llaids. The Nova Scotia government [has made a big contract with the Do- lherty oil interests 9r drilling in that ‘province, and so has Prince Edward ‘ Island. Alberta rings with the story of Tur- ner Valley, with twenty wells in pro- cess of drilling and the actual results from Royalite No. 4. not to mention the promising Wainwright field and the deposits north of Edmonton. And who shall say the last word has been . said or the last well tapped? l 4 q At first the west wanted 50,000 harvest hands and ‘he i call is still for 20.000. ‘ liarest hands? rural Canada of this multitude But what about the votes of all thee; Is a harvest-time election going to deprive of votes 2’ resources have as yet scarcely been l ./ K . . ‘ WHEN BITTRRTAV‘I'OMOBILIS All BUILT. mummcmmu I these ded tuches ‘ to imum~ ’ motor car satisfaction The 1927 McLaughlin-Buick has a host of improvementsâ€"yâ€"refinements that surround the McLaughlin-Buick owner with convenience and luxury.
