THE CANADIAN ELECTIONS

The unexpected has happened in
the Canadian elections in the over
whelmng defeat of the reciprocity
pact No one expected such result
not even the leaders of the opposition
who in some instances openly con-
ceded that Laurier would win but
who hoped to reduce the liberal ma
jority.
From the standpoint of pure econ-
omics the argument for the govern
ment was unassailable. The recip-
rocity treaty was largely in favor of
the Canadian producer. 1t not only
extended his markets by giving him,
free access to supply the needs Of
ninety million people but it gave him
a shorter haul to get his products to
problem We're wholly favorable to
the government and few unbiased
judgments considered anything else
but a victory that would sustain the
government in the treaty it had pro-
mulgated.
But the issue went down to signal
defeat in spite of theQact that it had
behind it the personality of the great
leader and the prestige of being sup
ported by the party in power. The
arguments which the opposition urged
against the government seemed triv-
ial and inconsequential when consid-
cred on this side of the line. The
DOGGY of annexation raised by the OPP
position was thought too puerile to be
seriously considered, but it was the
opening wedge for the preaching of
the doctrine of progressive nation
ality which seems to have been the
pivotal point upon which the political
issues turned.
The appeal made by the opposition
was an appeal to passion and to
prejudice rather than an appeal to
reason, and this appeal made its
greatest impression in the provinces
where prejudice against the United
states is strongest. 1t will be noted
that the Ontario province controlled
the result of the election and with
its 81 majority turned what was
otherwise a liberal victory into a de-
feat. Notably this province is the
stronghold of the ultra-loyalists and
they have simply dominated the cleo
ton and forced defeat upon the other
provinces
An analysis of the result shows that
out OF the nine provinces in the Do
mlnion five returned matorities for
the liberals, one split even and three
supported the conservatives. Ontario
Is considered ultEa-loyalist and its
vote really decided the election. but
the other two provinces that returned

about the Yakima valley is that Il
is a great fruit growing section. but
when the sum total of things is ex-
amined it will be found that fruit
growing is only one of several equal
| Iy prominent industries of the valley
An article in this issue tells of the
hay crop of the lower valley and
measures the totals in thousands OF
tons and hundreds of carloads. The
potato crop - another great source
of revenue for the tillers of the soil,
and another crop where the sum to-
tai is measured in hundreds of car
loads.
Recently the value and extent of
the hop crop of Yakima valley was
set I'D in a series of articles dealing
with the hop industry. The total
number of bales was estimated at
1900, and the army of pickers
needed to harvest the crop was 1000
and the sum of money expended for
labor alone was estimated at $96, 900
and the value of the crop to the
growers at the current market quo
tations was s1,20o,0OO. SO much for
the hop crop which is only one of
several big lines of industry developed
in the Yakima valley
The stock industry is another in
dustry which is fast growing and is
yielding handsome returns to those
who are specializing in this line. Hog
raising, cattle and horse breeding
and dairying are industries that are
rapidly developing and are to be
reckoned with in detailing the re-
sources of the valley
Aside from this there is the fruit
growing industry, the best known and
most prominent. but not by any
means the only source of revenue to
the citizens of the valley. The senti-
ment is growing that there should
be diversity of industries and the
soil and climate lend themselves adj
mirably to the development of such a
plan. With such range as is shown
there is no possibility of a crop fail
ure that will seriously check the pros
perity of the country.

There are some interesting side
lights already thrown upon the Cana
dian political situation, which indi-
cate that the questions at issue arc
far from being settled. The COM
ment of the Canadian press shows
the feeling already cited in these col
umns that the western provinces are
apt soon to be FESTIVE under the re-
striction of the domination of Ontario
which under the present victory is
conceded. It Is freely predicted that
there will be rapid dwindling of
government majorities and a short
shift for the new premier if he at
tempts any arbitrary measures.

President Tafts availability as cam

shown himself to be a statesman and

EIGHT MILLIONS
IN NEED OF FOOD

St Petersburg, Russia, Nov. 16.-Eight
million persons are in need of imme-

the crops in 20 Russian provinces. This
startling announcement was made IN
the Duma last evening by premier Ko-
kovzoff in reply to interpretations con-
corning reports that famine threat
ened a wide area.
Necessary measures would require,
the premier said, the expenditure OF
$60,0OO.000, Of which amount the i'm
perial eXchequer would have to find
$4,000, 600. Half of the total was nee
essary at once to defray the cost Of
supplies already dispatched.
