POLITICAL RUMORS.

Rumors in Ottawa are to the ef- fect that the ‘three leading Quebec members in the Liberal ranks in the House of Commons, Mr. N. K. La- Finmme, Hon. W. G. Mitchell and Mr. Herbert Marier, are about to retire from political life. Since the retirement of Sir Lomer Gouln, who was the recognized leader of Que- bee Liberals, and the accession to "F51 Place of Lapointe, Bureau and Behind, there have_beeu jealousfes and bickerlngs which make Liberal political life foo costly a burden and these three and possibly others have decided to quit. Liberal life today is not e. bed of roses, and where out: anus and party allegi- ance onoe ruled there is now dis- gust and discouragement. The party is at sea, that same undha fed sea of 1919 fame and there are now so many chart-linkers um agmensen‘ upon a definite course is ' ,oesible. in our own province of the "solid four" rumor is bury with the pro- babilities of Liberal candidature at the next election and there are those who argue that neither of the four will apain enter the ‘held while the belief ia genera} that, whether nominated or not, neither of the

INTERESTING DISCOVERY

Some ingenious Libero-l has dis» covered that the annual expenditure under the MacKenzie King govern- ment is several millions less than it was under the Bordon govern- ment and the two years immediat- ely following the wur. And the discoverer plays upon this wond- erful discovery u paeuu praise to tho economical adminis- tration under MucKenzle King and corresponding denunciation of the extravagance of the Borden gov- ernment. Few, we take it, will dis» puie the premises for it is gener- ally admitted that the war was an expensive indulgence which Sir Robert Borden participated in with his government; but. fewer siiii will go into ecstasies over the fact that the administration of Canadian u! fairs bus cost less since 1921 than it did between 1914 and 1921.

The margin of difference alill leaves ample room for extravagance and the general opinion today is that directly and indirectly the pre- sent administration of Canada is costing almost as much as the war. \Ve say, directly, in unjustifiable Royal Commissions such as the present Pulpwood Commission which, in addition to costing some hundreds of thousands of dollars,

Notes By the Way I

The first Legislative Assembly in what lg new Canada met In Halifax in 1168. II stated by the lillr. W. C. Miiner, the erudite Journalist and archivist. That of Prince Edward island was not up in 1773 fifteen years later, and that of New Brunswick came into being In 1785 as we are otherwise in form- ed. It lg a well known fact that the first newspaper printed within the bounds of what is now the Dominion of Canada was establish- ed in Halifax. Now it seems to follow from this that the Maritim- es, o; we call them for short. have been ahead of all the other provinces in two of the most im- portant developments of civiliza- tion, representative government and the printing press. If the other sections o! British North America had not followed our load Canada would now be in the de- plorable condition of u land without newspapers or legislatures and pre- sumably without politics _or politicians!

How much Quebec, Ontario and thejuvenile Provinces farther west- ward owe to the Maritimea? But our precedence and good example do not cud with politics and news- papers. The first church in Canada and the second in America ‘was established by the Huguenot navigator Do Monis near St. Andrews. N. B. The first Roman Catholic Church in Canada was built at Port Royal now Annapolis Royal, in 1608. After the English occupation it was occupied as an Anglican Church. The first Presby~ leriun Church in Canada. was built at Onsiow, Colchester County, N. S. in 1764. The first Methodist church in Canada ivas built at Point do "Bute, N. B. not far from Amherst. The first Sunday School in Canada was that of St. Paul's Halifax, set up in 1185. Thus the lvlaritlmesded in church building and if the people along the St. Lawrence, the Lakes and Prairies had not followed our lead what a bcnlghted land Canudu might have been!

Saint John is the oldest in- corporated town in all Canada——hus a Royul Charter in fact. All other cities in the Dominion have since followed this Maritime lead and be-

Sir,—In reference to a letter in your issue of the 25th inst. re Vote at St. James Church signed "Ono Who Was Present," he misses or ignores the great point gained. that St. James Church nt its nunuul meeting decided to have a coni- mittcc appointed to fight the pus- sing of the enabling bill. at the next session of tile local IeEIsIut- uro.

"Ono who wns present" may take what consolation he pleases from the vote, bill. this is the great thing gained, that St. James has decided to fight the bill.

DOES THE CARRIAGE TEI-I- THE STORY?

‘A magazine story two or three years ago, narrated ‘ the ex- perience, of a young 11mm"! couple who were attempting t0 get lute the social swim. The YOURS husband had in mind also, the advantages that might come to him in his profession, as he was a recent graduate in engineering.

Tho story told of the moving out to the suburbs, the bridge and theatre parties that were given, the expenditure of pretty furniture‘ and so forth.

Good clothes were also indulged in both by wife nnd husband.

Among the visitors to the home was an old college chum of the husband, who liud done unusually wcll in the general contracting business.

Nothing cums of his visit how- cvcr as fur as cnglnceringjobs were concerned.

The husbnnd finally got interest- ed in an engineering scheme, and worked very hurd until he had mustered it.

During this time he forgot all about entertainments and went buck and forth to his office In one of his old suits.

Finally by this engineering pro- blem he bud solved. which saved his firm hundreds nf thousands of (IOIIflYg on o. contract, he was taken into the firm and his entire future assured.

The former college friend came back to town and coming up behind him gave him a slap on the back and said.

“Congratulations old man."

"on what?"

"Oh I don't know. but I do know you've made good."

"Why how do you know No one knows about it yet."

"I knew right away by the change in tho way you were walking. Your head ‘was up, your chest out. and you looked like the old college athlete of a few yours back. Why success was stamped all over your body. I didn't really notice your clothes.

i know that good clothes count all right, but it was your carriage that told me the story.”

Now what about. this?.

A VIGOROUS LEADER

Under the Caption. “A Vigorous Leader," tho Montreal Witness, Liberal, says: MnMelghen is aster that rose in the West. That, for a Conservative, is like getting out of the wrong side of one‘: bed. which is said to make one cross all day. He found himself suspected by the East. particularly by the province of Quebec. It is quite possible that in the early phases of his brilliant career he may have raid some stinging things about Quebec province or its people. it could hardly be otherwise, for his tongue is barbed. Whatever else of offence there may have been in Mr. Meighenh record, besides conscription, which put horns and hoofe ou'SIr Robert Borden, and to which‘ he was fully committed, he has gone to work in a very manly way to outlive it. He set himself determlnedly to learn French. No one comes to speak Freud: "com- nous autres," that is not. brought up to it. It is a heroic task to acquire a language for oratorlc purposes after school age. But this is what Mr. llietghen has accom- plished, and if there ‘is anything which our fellow-citizens thorough- iy appreciate and honor, it In ‘such an achievement. We drop this hint for all who aspire to national stet- osmanship. Bo it comes that, though at the last general election every one of Mr. liieighen’! candi- dates in Quebec was beaten, he has now been tonrinl the province with every appear-m... of wel- come sud respectful attention while

So we might g0 on and on to tell of many other things useful, valuable and not a few of them indispensable, that were originated in the Mdrltlmes, or first utilised here and spread inter to the westward where the people followed our lead.

Other points of Manltime super- iority are historic. For instance, we never started a rebellion. That ls a bad habit that grew up west of the Maritime border. People who live inland, uwuy from the broaden- ing and health giving/influences of the sea are liable to become re- bellious. And the malady tends to become periodic In its recurrence, like a bud habit. After they got Parliaments ln Upper Canada and Lower Canada, Pupinenu started a rebell in Lower Canada and it attracted the interested attention of William Lyon MscKenzle in Upper Canada who has a grandson still In being.
