FARMERS’ PARTY

In a province llnl ours, in which farmers greatly predominate, in which the farmers at every elec- tion choose their own representa- tives, the term Plfarlners’ Party" sound" stranguly~ out of. ‘place. Every party in this province is a formers‘ party, it cannot be any- "thing else. The lawyers, the mer- chants, the doctors and all tbs ‘other professionals in the prov ince could no more elect a party than they could buiZC a railway to the moon. Moreover, except possibly in the city of Charlotte- town. and .to_wn of Summsrsids. "1688 Swaps collectively or indiv- idually‘ could not elect a single member to ‘the legislature or t0 Darllament if the, farmers raised any objection to their nominee. And ‘dvenin ‘these places. the only [urban constituencies in the provi lnce, no man antagonistic to the farmers’ interests could be elected because almost every elector in the city is either a farmer's son or a farmer's father or brother, and because, funner, every mer- chant. lawyer. doctor or other professional lives by grace of the country's farmers. If there were no farmer's in the pfoyiflge in"- would be ‘no city. i _ l

For this province at least thq expression Farmers‘ Party is a ‘misnomer. Any ‘political parry lthrit we can have must be a farn, a crs‘ party or it cannot exist.

Northolillifs Passion lor Something New

The cursor of Lord Nlrtbcliffe will for years -be used by apostles or the "hustle for success" doctrine as any outstanding example. Here wile a youth, to fortune and fame unknown whddby sheer daring, ab- solute disregard‘ for conventional standards, and a tremendous ener- gy, became the master of hundreds of publications, an u-p-sotter oi‘ Gov- ernments, and a Napoleon of Bri- tish public opinion. Ho won every- thing thata man of lusts upd cul- ture could desire. and he won it by initiating new methods that went at once to the heart of the public. Tao unknown bud u fascination for himJ-le was always hustling around for something new to spring on ilic world.

A New York Experiment

ln December, 1900, Northcliffe, then Sir Alfred llurmsworth, made his first visit to New York. He was then owner of about thirty publi- cations, and a millionaire. l-le made an experiment in putting out one issue of the New York World, on his own lines. The issue was "tab- loid" in size, each news item was presented in clear cut synopsis, and a glance sufficed to get the gist oi the news. That is the principle on which the London Mail has been published. The novelty made a big impression on New York, yet was hardly worth pérmanence. He tried in New York one of his circulation schemes. He offered a large cash prize tothe person whose letter he first picked up, in a room contain- ing thousands of them. The number of letters received, with subscrip- tions accompanying, was astonish- ingly large, and the VGIJLUT: almost paid for itself out of hallo. North- cliffe in later years made many vis- its to toe United Sisters, but was mainly bent then on seeing and learning, and in expressing his views. ' The Shell Scandal ln a career such as his, full nl‘ big events, the high spots would necessarily be outstanding. One of his biggest coups was the high ex-
