Photophobia, a very common dis
ease described by the Independent
press, is so named by experts from
the fact that it's victims love dark
ness rather than light. 1t was
Known in Biblical times, when the
cause ascribed was because their
deeds are evil" SO far it has been
known to attack only plutocrats and
espionage law and the censorship, as
politicians favorable to them. The
espionage law and the censorship, as
now operated, are the results of this
terrible disease. Abundant light is
the only known remedy, and it is un-
patented.

Opinions may differ as to the best
means of getting agriculture repre-
scented in our legislative halls, but
there can be no two opinions as to
this-that agriculture stands in need
of more legislators who are working
farmers with their first interest the
problems of the man on the land. To
suggest that the running Of farmer
candidates is a mild form of bolshe-
vis1n, a sentiment expressed by oy
an Ontario cabinet minister recently
is absurd in the extreme.-Farm and

While the farmers and workers
were auctioning off their political
strength to one of the old parties,
the special interests stood behind
the scenes and said: "Boys, you can
promise all you want to, but you
can't deliver more than 80 cents
worth" That's why the people
have never gotten moe than 81
cents worth of representation from
the old parties.
