Sir Wilfred Coming Back

The average citizen OF tho United States
knows very little about Canadian politics, and
set the subject II which should Interest all
of us very much because OF our close proximity
20 the Dominion and tho many personal and
business ties which bind the two countries to-.
gether.
Particularly should we watch Canadian poll
tics now. owing 10 the practical certainty that
the voters OF Canada will AZ their next general
election overthrow the conservative government
and return the liberals 20 power
The provincial election Just held in British
Columbia resulted In overwhelming liberal
victory. So far British Columbia is concern
ed. the conservative party was practically wiped
OF the map. This election was quite generally
considered the last hope Of the conservative
party.
For Is months or more things have been going
steadily against the conservatives. Every pro-
vincia and every bl-election has registered lib
cral victory. similar in meaning 20 the recent
election in British Columbia and the provincial
election in Manitoba about year ago. The lib
eral party showed increased puralities In Que
bee and Montreal, and carried the day in every
ase where a special election was held to al
vacancy.
Various reasons arc given for these evidences
Of liberal strength including some dissatisfaction
with the way In which the Borden government
has handled Canadian activities growing
feeling Of conservative ineficiency In other ways
and the purging from the liberal party Of the
spccial privilege interests which brought II into
disfavOr and were largely responsible for Its
downfall a few years ago.
Tho Dominion general election VIII BE- held I'm
the fall OF 1917. II would naturally have come
this year. but postponed IL months because

barring a complete revulson OF feeling, that the
liberals will return TO power in Canada In 1917.

Mr.. Bailey conducts a drug store at

He put this ad. in the want columns
Of the News, under Help Wanted

smoker need apply.
The News came to Mr.. Bailey's home
that night and there was the ad., just
q he had written it, for the public TO
sss--a public declaration Of business
principle, so to speak.
And there it was for the son to see
the evidence that the father practiced in
his business, in the store, what he
breaches to the son in the home.
"All right; very good" observed Mr..
Bailey, and then he began turning the
pages of the HOME and the FAMILY
newspaper.
He reached page 81 of the same
edition.
There the same business Office that
had taken Mr.. Bailey's ad. and Mr..
Bailey's money for. the ad. had zig
gagged the big idea, the punch, into the
editorial.
Mr.. Bailey sat down and wrote The
