THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16,1926 The Voice Of The People Canada has spoken at the polls and in no uncertain manner has passed judgement of the Meighen shadow adâ€" ministration which sought to govern this country. The mandate of government has been given to the Liberal party under the leadership of Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie _King and the people having done their part now look to their elected representatives to give efficient, sound and vigorous administration which will enable our people to prosper and Canada to continue her forward march. It is the duty of the men called upon to form a govern- ment to give to this country stable government and clean administration. One of the first concerns of the Liberal / party when called upon to form a government must be to continue to clean-up the dishonest officials in the cusâ€" toms service which they commenced previous to resigning office. The new government is also pledged to further tax reductions which can only be accomplished byi‘effi'cient. ec- onomic administration in all departments. / The overwhelming defeat of Premier Meighen can be directly attributed to his unseemly greed for power at any cost and his willingness to sacrifice principle for party ad- vantage. Honest thinking electors were turned from his party by his “Hamilton Speech.” Those who admire above everything else honesty and sincerity in public men were not attracted to the conservative cause by Mr. Meighen’s tolerance of such candidates as, Doucet, Nichollson, DeWitt Foster and others whose doubtful reputation in public affairs was rebuked by the electors. Meighen can’t win, was an election slogan widely cir- culated, the truth of which is now quite evident even 'to members of the Conflervative Party. He has twice been Premier but never once by the will of the people and it is highly prdbable that the defeat of his party and his own personal defeat in Portage La Prairie will mean his retire- ment to private life. I Parents Co-operation The Public and High Schools of the district have opened for the 1926-27 year and the pupils are now well settled in another year’s routine of study. Into these schools at the opening of each year come many new pupils in addition to the ones of former years returning. The business of conduc‘ting school, maintain- ing discipline and \the like is no easy one. For a number .-of hours each day the teacher has complete control of the child pupil and generally seems to make a good job of the work. However, outside of school the teachers are power- less and very often their good work is nullified by a lack of attention on the part of the parents. ' The latter are the natural educators of the child, to them belong this supreme right, but for the sake of convenience they delegate that right to the school. But they cannot shift all their duties to the teacher.‘ If they want their children to succeed in school they must offer (the teacher all the co~operation in their power by insisting on the proper performance of sch‘ool work assigned to be done at home. The success of pupils in the schools of this district during the year 1926-27 will depend a lot on the measure of co-operation given by the parents. For A Bountiful Harvest 5 Canada has had no actual famine within the memory of living man, and so does not really know how to be thank- ful enough for the blessings o the harest. When the ear- liest English settler in what t ey fondly called New Eng- land, had to, guard by night and day the fields which they had With amazing difi‘iculty hewed out of the bush and planted with corn and potatoes, a watchful, intrepid, cruel enemy ever waiting a chance to ravish the poor little farms and murder,all in their blockhouses, they had a good reason for thankfulness for a harvest safely garnered. They knew ,thegvalue of every cob of corn, of every pail of pota- toes. They calculated their value in terms of human life. Life or staravtion were represented by their paltry harâ€" vesting. On one side was unbroken bush extending for hundreds of miles, tenanted by fierce enemies they had not known how to placate, irritated against them by a hostile European nation settled at the north. Oh the other Side was the tempestuous ocean considered impassable in the winter, separating them from their old home country by many weeks of voyaging in the summer time. They lived or died according to whether they harvest crops in the open season. These were the people who originated the Harâ€" est Thanksgiving idea. Religion was real to them. They sowed in prayerful hope. They tended their crops w1th , faith and courage derived from Christian faith. They re- ceived their year’s food as in answer to faith. hope. work and prayer. And they set apart a day for going to God‘s house and formally and deliberately thanking him for their harvest. The holiday season is almost past and one cannot help but be impressed with the fact that there has been a great deal of idleness during the past three months. Some enforc~ ed. Much of it voluntary. Thousands of men and women who could have been profitably employed. left business and went to the sea shore or the mountains or on tours through foreign countries. Now that the harvest .is nearly passed and the summer ended there should be an increased activity in all lines. Chauncey Depew was once asked: “What is the secret of success?" He replied: “There is no secret about it: it is just dig. dig .dig." 11‘ the great masses of idlei‘s would heed the advice contained in his words there would be less unemployment and greater prosperity.

No one would believe there was much blue blood in him and that his dam was Lady Clara Vere de Vere and his dad was the Duke of Eramose. Look at him now. see what fat judiciously distributed will do. Six months ago he was a reproach, a pathetic figure in the bread line. so to speak. Look at him now. He is an aristocrat. And what did it? Fat did it. It was bound to happen sooner or later in the season when people were gouging into the ground to see just what has taken place in the potato patch: Deceptive business at best fields may have a showing of tops like a second growth of alfalfa and blossoms like the pet circle in a pubâ€" lic park, yet it takes three hills to make a meal for four, with not a scrap left for fried potatoes for supper. This year potatoes have .been an average good crop. People from all over the district have come in and laid samples of spuds on the sanctum desk that were large, enough to qualify as missiles in case war again breaks out in Ireland. Samples have reached up from all parts of the district and although a blight is noticeable in some places on the whole they appear to be a very fair crop. We had thought our collection to be a very good one but we grace- fully give way to a friend editor who “claims” he had one tuber delivered to his office that measured 23 inches one way and 171/2 inches around the chest. When it was laid on the corner of the desk that piece of furniture tipped up. It was boiled in a tub and made a meal for eleven peoâ€" ple, and they were full of potato right up to the lower jaw. The peelings made an evening meal for the cow. Them’s __ what ,we call real potatoes. L Twenty-five Years Ago. From Our Issue of Sept. 12, 1901 Residents of Thornhill claim to have an oil well in that town. Ex- perts will give their'opinion bn the substance found 180 feet from the surface. Hon. E. J.

I A herd of thirty Montana ranch- ers arrived in town yesterday and spent the night in the park. The managers disposed of about half a dozen of them before leaving for Newmarket where the balance will be sold 'by auction. The barn and outbuildings of Mr. 'Wm. Washington on the second conâ€" cession of Vaughan were burned to the ground early Monday morning. The origin of the fire, is a myst- ery although it is thought that some person probably a tramp, slept in the barn during the night. Thirty Years Ago.
