What happened in Halifax last “Wednesday is happening all over Canada. and is only awaiting ex- pression by ballots. The people are awakening to the fact that if Cun- ada is to progress in proportion to its opportunities and to lis rc- sourcea it must have s stable gov- ernment and a stable policy at Ot- lawn. It 1's all very well to shout "good government," “good times" and "unbounded pr0sperlty"but such shouting does not make good gov- ernments, good times or prosperity. The people have the facts before them and will not be misled by shouting be it ever so boisterous, No one doubts the greatness or the. potential prosperity of Canada and few there are who doubt that the present industrial depression and the unparalleled exodus are very largely due to the instability and the lack of leadership at Ottawa. t» MARKETS SLOW The present exceptionally fine weather, while merciful to the coal pile and favorable for our occa- sional outings. le not conducive to good marketing, especially in the line of poultry, meals and pork. which are more easily handled in frosty weather.
