Asa farming man, [ lid very well, Had cows and plenty of milk to sell; “Water and milk”- being my make up, I spouted againet the red wine Cup; Jspouted and milked quite religiously, But kept my eye on a candidacy. }never smoked, I never drank; I never tried to “brake the bank; The Dunkin Act I never broke, I looked so “goody ” at a temperance spout, TJhat the “goody” people brought me out. I was goody then, | am goody yet; Tho’ forced tu work with a wicked set; But Wilfrid needs all kinds in the game Boa farmer’s minister [ became. Tsay goody things with so much zeal, Thai I cover many an awfu! deal. t don’t like “deale,’ and T don’t like Tarte, Bnd fear I’m losing my innocent heart; But I’m saving my pennies and living cheap, Sad I'll some day re‘urn to my “stable heap.” ; @o a “stable heap” we farmers sing, And ‘tis purer far ‘han the Cabinet ring. MORAL. Bow, farmer boys, if you like me, Would climb into the Cabinet tree; Dost say goody things, let your light be seen, And some day you |! do for a Cabiret ecreen. ¥ you can’t be good, the bad’s the game, They use both kinds in a Cabinet frame. —Star —— eS eae oe BISHOP POTTER A Badly Misrspresented Man.

Recentiy the Prince Edward Island Legielature passed a law enacting that liabilities to merchants outside the pro-~ vioce who of themselves or through their selling ageute have not prid a certain provincial license fee shal! be non-~col- lectable. This is repudiation, with the proviso, however, thata contribution to the local treasury wil] stop it. Now there ie a bill before the British Columbia House pronouncing null and void any labor contracts which new arriv~ alsin the province may have made with persons in otber parts of Canada. This is another proposal of doubtful honesty. The veto power is the subject of much criticism; but while it may be argued that it should not be exercised where Jegisja~ tion affects only the rights of persons within the enacting province, surely it ought tocome into Operation where the loca! law aseails the rights of Canadians elsewhere.—Mai!l and E:npire ESTEEMED FXCHANGES Toronto Star: Cculd the immense energy and fabulous sumstof movey spent by the nations pre:arivg for war in order to maintain peace be directed to the in- telligent organization of production and distribution, there would be such an enormous army Of contented and pro-per- ous workers at peacethat the word war would become obsolete, How much business cin a man do whose system is ina state of disorder?
