Q The government and its orgall have persistent- ly refused to answer, have persistently ignored the subject.

' ~"1t' is really amusing to see the “mingled feel- ings,” with which the Liberal press regards the apt- pointment of Hon. Arthur Meighen to the premier- ship. Sympathy with him lh the diiﬁcult task be- tforehim, acknowledgement of his unquestioned iabilitv, head-shakingsover the failure that they pre

thinly veiled under a cloak of hypocritical sympathy, yould perhaps best define their attitude. Mr. Meig- éiiis clearly not to the ‘taste of the Liberal rem- ilant. His attitude towards them is somewhat like that of the big, good natured husband whose little spit fire wife used to vent her anger upon him When replied, ‘Oh, it pleases her and doesn't hurt me." The Toronto Globe, once regarded as one of the eanest and fairest Liberal papers in Canada, and lbitually quoted by the lesser fry as the supreme ithority on all things Liberal, has devoluted to a ' in which it no longer represents respectable alism. Its bitterness against; Union Govern- has become a mania and naturally the disorder not improved with the change in the premier- hip. With a sneer at the alleged personal character- listics which in the Globe's opinion unfit Mr. Meig- hen for successful leadership, such as a “disposition hat has more than its share of acidity,” a character- istic which those closest to Mr. Meighen have failed to discover, the Globe turns its little batteries upon the Liberals elected as Liberal Unionists in 1917, Declares theirposition “humiliating” and predicts

hat “some of them both east and west are reasoll- .

ably certain to notify Mr. Meighen that the recon- structed Conservative government can no longer command their support.”

é. .What a comforting conclusion for the Globe! ' ut whereis the foundation for it? The Liberal Ull- Tonists have expressed no (lissatisfaction .with the

meetings have been called to protest against the new order of things, no objection has been raised to the proposed reconstruction of the government except 1n the columns of some Liberal newspapers. On the contrary every newspaper in Canada, Liberal and lConservative, admits theloutstanding ability and fit mess of Mr. Meighen to lead the new administra- ion. Even the Globe is constrained to admit that he “not only true blue politically but he is a first rate ting man,” and this is evidently what pinches "t em. 7 The estimation in which Mr. Meighen is held ithroughout Canada is well expressed by the Ottawa. ournel as follows: . . _ “The youngest prime minister the Dominion has ver had (he is still in his forties), Mr. Meighen is vertheless a leader of well tried capacity, his name eing honorably and conspicuously associated with ' e most salient political undertakings of the past ive years. As an administrator he has had no sup- rior in a ministry which, despite all the criticism at has been levelled against it, contained a larger rcentage of administrative and business capacity on any Canadian government from 1896 down to tlii! presentday, while as a parliamentarian and de-

TH E LAYST WORD

(By GQOTQ; Matthew Adams)

One of the renders of these little mlks rccentlv naked me to write on the topioof "Quench" Well. Well, it'd an interesting subject —— for we all know quite n lot about it

But it takes TWO to make n quarrel. One cannot very well quarrel with hlm-self—lhough it would he ll good plan if a few took this method up.

There ls a "mistaken idea, l1ow- ever, about how a quarrel should end. My idea is that a quarrel should end before it is begun. Hut if misfortune goes so for M! Io force n quarrel, then tho last word And the bc the

should end the quarreL. inst word should always RIGHT word.

A quarrel never gets anywhere, And when it is over, both pnrties to it wish that it hadn't come around. My suggestion nll to tho best mnnncr of bundling p. quarrel, after ii has been started, is to say nothing. ll ton dies n very silent ‘death! And your last word becomes the word you didn't speak,‘

quarrels are like c 'clones-— you never know their dl ctlon orwhni IlIIVIWHZP lllc yllrn going to do.

f long ngo made up my mind lllili I would oi under cover the immedi- ale minute that .1 sow a cyclone conllnzr And that's my ndvlcc to every one who sees n quarrel com- lnz. Get under cover—and don’t
