DR.. johnson used to say he loved
Il good hater. This remark has
been misused more than it has been
properly applied. a good hater
is not an indiscriminatc hater; II
human wildcat is not, nor is IL
loon or Il screcch-owl; but the
trusty old Watchdog who guards
your house dav and night, who
romps with the children and takes
long rambles with You on Sunday,
is II very good hatcr of everything
he believes to be inimical to your
interests. Good haterS are such
because they know what to hate,
they are also affectionatc, stead
fast, lovable friends. Good haterS
are worth cherishing; great haters,
however, ought to be Gagged.

ton is neither startling, revolu-

expedient; above all, it is right.
1t is simply n reasonable and nee
essary extension of the general pol
ic, of public ownership already
largely prevailing in the munich
palities of the country. This
proposition does not commit the
party to auy other projects OF pub
lie ownership, whatever their mer-
its, if any there may be"
