The only danger to Liberalism in Canada today the brand of Liberalism that is worth anything is the association litre-vith of Laurierism. Liberalism, if it means anything, is another name for liberty. It is for liberty's sake that tens of thousands of Liberals have forsaken Laurier and joined hands with liberty-loving Conservatives under the banner of Union. If Liberalism stands for liberty and real Liberalism does stand for such a (aup how, in heaven's name could it, consist iently, or with any respect fur real Liberal traditions, lie down in the face of the present German menace threatening the liberty of all the world. Liberalism would never say.

"Well, let Britain and France and the United Stntfi fight and defeat the foe; Canada has done enough." That would not be Liberalism; ihat would be rank cowardice. Liberalism is consistent in uniting with all patriotic citizens, of whatever party 'aiime, in defense of country. Laurierism is for division largely for rhe sake of office. Here we have the point of difference. It is the rankest assumption on the part or' Sir Wilfrid Laurier to pretend that he is the leader of Liberalism in Canada.

IIo was the unfaithful servant of trusting Lib- (: ends in lSi)o, and as late as the last session of parliament he was the reactionary force in the "Liberal" party in parliament. Even candidates, labelled as Opposi-' lion, are today repudiating Laurier leadership. In our own province, one of the Laurier endorsed Opposition men said on a public platform the other evening: "I am not her to defend. Sir Wilfrid' course upon thia ittue (conscription) I AM NOT GOING TO DEFEND HIM IN ANY WAY, 8HAPE OR FORM. I DO NOT PROPOSE TO FOL'wOW HIM ON THIS QUESTION.

Even today we are told that Bourtata it allied with Laurier. So fer at I concerned, in to far aa Laurier ie connected with Bourataa, I will have nothing to do with him. So far aa Lauritr ie catering to Quebeo, or catering to any race or data or creed, I will have nothing to do with him. la Ihtt clear? la that plain? a "Ladiee and gentlemen, when I accepted the nomination for thia riding I etated that I WOULD NOT PROCEED TO DEFEND IN ANY WAY THE RECORD OF THE OLD LAURIER ADMINISTRATION. I ttated at that time that there were many things done by that Government and many things left undone contrary to the with of the people and the pledgee of the party, and I stated at that time that I believed in Liberal principle and that Liberal principle properly adminiatrated were necettary for the development and prosperity of thie country." A Labor candidate in the East, running in opposition to a Unionist, requested that Laurier abstain from giving him any endorsement.

What do these things meant Nothing more and nothing less than tint LAurier's war policy is not stomachable by the voters at large. And candidates sailing under the Laurier banner know it, and trim their sails accordingly when they meet electors who are for winning the war. Such candidates are double-policy men, and are thus deceiving the people. Had the prominent Liberal leaders throughout Canada Carvtll, McLean, Xor-ris, Murray, Kowell, Calder, Brewster, end others, recognized Laurier as still the lender of their party, Liberalism would have been in the ditch for a quarter of a century. Laurier stands all but alone, lie has refill himself out of his own party.

Laurierism is not Liberalism. Laurier is repudiated by every provincial Liberal premier in Canada, save one he resides in Laurier is repudiated by practically every Liberal newspaper in Canada. Laurier is repudiated by the vast major-it of Liberal members in every legislative assembly in Canada. Laurier is repudiated by the majority fit" Liberal members in the last Dominion parliament from Western Canada. Laurier is repudiated by all the Unionist candidates in constituencies in every province designated Liberal.

Laurier is repudiated by the Liberal constituents of the New Brunswick seat, where Hon. Frank Carvell ha.s been returned by acc'nmation. 'Laurier is repudiated by every Liberal Unionist elected by acclamation in Saskatchewan. Laurierism is just Laurierivm it is not Liberalism. Is there a Liberal in Canada today who would traduce the memory of that frrand old man, Alexander Mackenzie, by asserting that had he been alive as lender of the Liberals, he would have suggested delay in sending reinforcements to the Canadians at the front? And would anyone miggest that if Hon.

Edward Blake or Sir Oliver Mowat or Hon. Wm. Ptrson were alive Joday Ihey ivould I I have endorsed the Laurier policy of delay' Laurier succeeded, after 1896, yi leading the Liberal party from its pledges to the people of Canada, lie. had( willing abettors in those days from all the provinces; they seemed to have been specially hand-picked. One broken promise followed another.

Toddy he has FAILED in his effort to swing the party. He stands REPUDIATED by the great body of Liberals and Liberal leaders in every province, save one: and even labelled Laurier candidates in the present election accept his endorsn-tion in very qualified terms. Laurier candidates are not the upholders of Liberalism. They ar Lsui'ierites and quitters in the war. "Satisfy Your Conscience and Go Forward" I -By PREMIER LLOYD GEORGE In pursuing; this conflict we muat think not merely of the present but of the future of the world.

We are aettlluif queatlona which will affect the live of not merely In this generation, but for generatlona to come. In Krunre lint yrar I wont along the French front, mid met one of the finest ftenerals In the French army, (intieral Clouroud, and he said, "One of my noldlers a fow days ao did one of the moot fral-lund and during things any soldier had ever done. It was recklesa, but he managed to come bacK aMve, and mmieone said to him, 'Why did you do that- You have got four children, and you might have left It to ono of the young fellows in the army. What would have happened to your children And his anxivcr was, 'It wan for them I did Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. This war Involves Issues upon which will depend the lives of our children and our children's children.

Sometimes In the coursa of human tvents challenges are hurled from the unknown amongst the none and daughters of men. lrpon the answer which Is given to these challenges, ami upon the heroism with which the answer Is sustained, depends the question whether the world would be worse for ages to come. These challenges end In terrible conflicts which bring wretchedness, misery, bloodshed, martyrdom In all its myriad forms to the world, and If you look at the PHges of history there conflicts stand out like great mountain ranges, such as you have In SYotlund scenes of destruction, of vast conflicts, ncuried by the volcanoes which threw them up a.id drawing blessings from the heavens thnt fertilize dm valleys and the plains perennially far beyond the horizon of the highest peaks. You had aucli a conflict In Scotland In the plteenth and seventeenth centuries of the great fight for the rights of men to worship tlod according' to their consciences. The Scottish Covenanters might IiKVe given this answer to the They might hnvn said, "Let there be peace In our time, Lord." They mlgh have said, "Why should we suffer for privileges thHt even our fathers never enjoyed? If we win we may never live to cn.loy the fruits of It, hut we have got to faco privations, unspeakable torture, the destruction of our homes, the scattering of our families, shameless death.

Let there be Scotland would have been a thing of no account among the nations. Its hills would have bowed their heads In hhame for thu people they sheltered. Hut the answer of the old Kcottlun Covenanter, the old ing Covenanter CarglK, rings down the ages, even to us at this fateful hour, your conscience, and go forward." The Challenge and the Conflict That was the answer. That conflict was fought in the valleys of Scotland and the rich plains and market-places of England, where candles were lighted which will nevnr be put out, and on the plains, too, of Bohemia, and on the fields and walled 'cities of (Jermany. There Kurope suffered unendurable agonies and miseries, but at the end of It humanity took a great leap forward towards the dawn.

Then camu a conflict of the eighteenth century, the great fight for the right of men aa men, and Europe again was drenched with blood. But at the end of It the peasantry ere free, and democracy becamo a reality. Now we are faced with the greatest and grimmest struggle of all liberty, equality, fraternity, not amongst men but amongst nations; great, yea small; nower, yea weak; exalted, yea humblest; Germany, yea I'elglum, Austria, yea Serbia equality, fraternity, amongst peoples as well aa amongst men. That Is the challenge which has been thrown to us. Europe is again drenched with the blood of its bravest and best, but do not forget these are the great successions of hallowed causes.

They are the stations of the cross on the road to the emancipation of mankind. Let us endure aa our fathers did. Every lrth is an agony, and the new world is born ut of the agony of the old world. My appeal to the people of this If my app-al can reach, beyond It Is this that we should continue to fight for the great goal of International right and International justice, so that over again shall brute force sit on the throne of justice, nor barbaric strength wield the sceptre of right. Advocates of Union Government ask the citizens of Canada today to vote according to conscience.

The issue and the sole issue is the continuance of Caadt in the war. Shall we be true to the memory of the thousands of Canadian sons who have fallen in France! Shall we be true to the men who are now holding. the line against the enemy? Shall we be true to our pledge of honor given to our sister Dominions, the Mother Country, and our Allies? Shall we FIUHT, like Britain, France, the United S'ates, and Italy, or shall we QUIT, like Russia. It is for every elector to satisfy" his eon-jeierce. The issue is clear.

Home Enlistment While our young men have enlisted to light abroad, there is need for enlistment at home in the Union Government cause. As an old writer has said, "one ought to be intent only upon doing one's utmost, and never stop to consider whether the thing be great or little in the abstract." This is not an ordinary party election. The services of every citizen is required and there is work for every man and woman in every riding. There is no election duty too small. In the last analysis, the work in an election is getting the vote of every man and woman into the ballot box.

Here and there, even within the sound of the guns, there are strange people who go about almost indifferently, doing little to help, themselves. And too many electors think that in some way or other, without their active assistance, all will be(well in the election. The way to make the'election sure is to WORK. (Jet in touch with the chairmen of the various comruittee rooms. This is not an old party fight.

It is a battle at home between the men who are for Vigorous war action and the Laurierites, who, to say the very best for them, are in favor of delay, which will take Canada out of the war at a time when other Allied nations are earnestly concentrated in the great -struggle. University Influence Possibly the most important thing in teaching is the personal contact between teacher and pupil. True, the acquisition of knowledge is a valuable consideration and schools from the lowest to the highest are in a measure judged by rtie extent of the information acquired by the students who attend them. Dut nyich of this information could be fcot by reading books private ly. Further, the training of the body and of the' faculties of the mind is a consideration of such importance that we are willing to forget many of the things which we labored to acquire because we know that after all the drill, control and mental discipline which results from pursuing such courses is the more important.

But there is another phase of the teaching-process which must be never lost sight of: the influence of a trained mind upon an immature one. The extent and value of this cannot be measured by percentages; but we know that ex-studnts when asked regarding their collesre (lays invariably "peak in warm terms of the abiding influence that certain teachers had upon them for weal or woe. In every university there are men who ought to make the intellectual fortunes of any youth who is lucky enough to come into personal contact and acquaintance with them. Frequently the size of the classes prevents a very close contact, but if the student and the professor is ready and willing to meet, this can be overcome. Again, there are often traditions of college life, a strence esprit de corps, making it difficult for both teacher and student to cross the line.

We have known the sneering comments of classir.Rtes to prevent an earnest student from socking closer companionsh.n with his professor, lie is called a "toady," and when he ges up 'o a professor after a lecture to ask a question, he is said to do so, not because he is interested in the points of the lecture, but in order to gain favor. Where such a spirit exists, good teaching is well-nigh impossible. Students themselves are usually to blame for this. Too often they lose sight of the main end in view. They attend classes because they are sent by their parents their glorious opportunity is not appreciated.

The writer confesses that the most delightful hours of his college life were not air" spent with his student-companions. Many of them were passed in the companionship of tutors and professors who excited an overwhelming admiration for their Attainments and character and for the secrets of nature, art and science which thtV unfolded and laid before the minds of those who hud ears to hear and eyes to see. Every college has professors whoe companionship, apart from the actual lecture-room, ought to be sought, because thy have secrets of knowledge which they should be compelled to divulge to eager youth curious to know what has been done in the world and what is now going on behind the i-ereen of nature. All honor to the men who are trying to make scholarship and love of learning- us common and popular as the other pursuits which engage the attention and divert young men and women from the studies which in later life will mean more to them than anything else that they can possibly gRin in college life. And all honor to the students who, recognizing the worth and genius of their professors, endeavor to enter into the closest possible relations with them, seeking to undei stand and calch their passion for truth, endeavoring to acquire their faculty I for learning, and determining to use every opportunity that the university affords to develop their minds, strengthen their wills and inspire their hearts.

An Ignoble Utterance Le Droit, of Ottawa, opposing the Union Government and supporting Laurierism, says: We do not sea how the Canadian volunteers died for us when this country vras in no danger. Our soldiers died for England and for and not for us. Tho blood of our Koldlers ahed on strange soil was for a cause foreign to our own, and consequently will bring no fruit for The" Kaiser's appointed agents on this continent would make no baser statement. "What answer shall the manhood and womanhood of Canada give to such a sneakish, selfish appeal on December 17! "Why does Le Droit support the Iour-asjii-Laurier candidates? If they do not. represent Le Droit's views, what do they represent A clearer issue was never placed before the electors of Canada.

It is a case of FIGHT or QUIT. In which class do you, Mr. Elector, find yourself? Are you for Union and FIGHTING for liberty, or for Laurier, and QUITTING. It Is a Pointer A New York jury has indicted a man 'named Sweeney, head of the programme of an Army and Navy bazaar which took in $71,000 and turned out $750 for the 90I-cMers end sailors. Better yet, the aldermen have passed an ordinance under which all entertainments given in the name of charity must obtain permits from the department of licenses and be under its control.

There's a pointer in this for every community not similarly safeguarded.

As In the cas; of llritish officers and nurses, I offer my services and the Himalayan medicines absolutely free.

The treatment Is very simple and could ie carried out without any inconvenience In the patients' own homes In Canada. It takes about three months, a marked improvement being noticeable in a fortnight. Particulars of the therapeutic value of some of the Himalayan drugs which I use will be found In my paper on Hindu Medicine, pul'lishVd in section pp. 3G3-371, of the official Keport of the International Congress of Medicine held In London In 1913.

P. D. CRERAR. I LONDON, Ont. -The people of London.

offered a royal welcome to Sir Robert Borden 'last night, when he addressed an Immense audience of. S.OiJO people in the Winter Sir Hobert was the last speaker of the evening and rose under the Inspiration of a brief ten-minute address from Mrs. 1. P. (Yerar, of Hamilton, mother of Lady Beck.

Mrs. Cre; ar'3 address was a model of brevity and dignity, of perfect elocution, and the finest feeling. She spoke to the new women voters, but incidentally pyt the whole issue of the present cri.iis Into a very few sentiences of comprehensive sanity. No I speech of an hour's duration could hiivc had the same hlgUy dramatic effect. She promised the support of the women voters to the present l'nlon Government, and then suddenly turned and faced Sir Robert Ror-' den with the sweetest smile, but with a challenge In her whole attitude.

Women Will Know Than. I "I do not say. Sir Robert," she said, I'tliat at the next election you will get off so easily If you have made i mistakes. By the next election wo- men will be educated to know the lvalue and significance of the vote, i and we shall give It for the best men 1 and the best measures. The women (are with the Union Government, heart and soul at the present time; after-i wards we shall argue out the little Ipolrts which may have one or two 'sides to them and remember our boys, "The Issue before us," s.ild Mrs.

ICrecar, In speaking to the women, I "Is so absolutely plain that there Is no why we should be deflected either to the right or the left. The issue is, 'Are you going to help your boy at the front or are you The ballot, ahe said, waa secret, and she advised the women to tell no one, not even husband or father, how they had voted. "The women's votee can be of enormous power if we do not make the mistake of talking too much." She had two ona at the front. "Only God knows whether they are living as I talk to you. You know from their letters that their cry Is for help.

We are signing that ballot for the boys. I say It Is our right because we have borne the burden so 'bravely." Premise Greatly Moved I Sir Robert was clearly moved, a I the whole vadt audience was, by Mrs. Crerar's address. They were listening to the womanhood of Canada, he said, speaking through Mth. I Crerar's eloquent lips.

The Issue before the country couid not have been, placd more clearly, more cogently, more eloquently, than It had been by Mrs. Crerar. "She has spoken of the probability that the women will hav their way." Here inere was some I anticipatory laughing, as If Sir Robert might be expectofl to Indulge In the customary banalities that eome so esilly In reference to women. But he did not. "It would be strange.

'If they not," he said. would be the first Instance In recorded history In which they failed to attain success If they worked together." THE FAMOUS RAID. It Is as well established as any historical fact can be, after only 20 years'' time, ssys the New York i Times, that Jameson was made the of the enterprise of Decern I ber 29. 1SS5, to January 2. 1891, which had for Its object the overthrow of the Kruger government Jn the Trane- vaal.

The British population of Johannesburg, including moat of the financial element of the Boer repub- He. had promised to support It not only with- money, but with arms; Cecil Rhodes, then premier of Cape Colony, had had a large part In plan- nlng It, and though he later became 'convinced that It wns unwise, would I undoubtedly have given It every aid 'possible; and no effectual denial ha been made of the general belief that Joseph Chamberlain, then British Co.onial Secretary, was a party to tha plan. At any rate, Jameson en-listed a column of adventurers who were followers of hli name and of 1 the recently disbanded Bechuanaland Mounted Police and entered the Transvaal on December 19. 1 896. The 1 Johannesburg British failed to 1 the Boers mobilized quickly, and on i January after heavy losses, Jame- son was forced to surrender.

Be- cause he had failed, Jameson, when turned over to tha British authorl- I ties, was sentenced to ten months' Imprisonment. What makes the Jameson Raid a matter of historical Interest outside of South Africa ta that It Inspired Em- jperor William of Germany to send to President Kruger of the Transvaal, telegram of such a character that It warned millions of British' subject! thai Ueimany hated Great Britain. It began the agitation for a blgier British navy and for a more comprehensive military system than had 'been known before. The kaiser raised the mask of friendship as a hater of England. As for Pr.

THE ONE QUESTION FOR CAN-' ADIANS (Toronto Globe) "I would sooner te buried politically, and stay burled, than go bac'K cn the boys who are defending us in the trenches of ranee." dac.ared Mr. Krcd K. Pardee, former chid Liberal whip In the houHe of commons, addressing hlfl constituents in vest Lambton on Tli jy caing as a supporter of the policy of the L'nion government, 'that if.

sentiment which should dominate Canadians on the Issu3 couir; the country. That is the spirit w.lch should direct the coursi -it publ'c men in giving leadership lo tne people. The present Is no time for party politics or scrambling lor K-pular acclaim. It Is not time for mere selfish' consldcratl i lime for trimming, no'tlme foi; Indec'si'. It is the time when none, should be for party, and ah lor the uaie.

i. the time to do right, regardless of consequences. i Those of the Allies who hnve play-ed party politics' with tli war have come to grief. Russia has not yet learned that freedom Is something to fight for, and not something to quarrel about. Italy has been taught the danger of too much talk a lout individual liberty, and not enough concern about h'uman freedom.

iJaiiaua In this time of testing must resolutely set her face against the very evlla which have brought h1 -aster upon other nations. She must stand steadiast and uniteu cosummation of the supreme purpose. She musth prove worthy of her own record on the batt.eftelcla. She must carry on till victory Is complete and lasting. One definite, dominate Issue confronts the country.

That Issue must not be must be met and met squarely. It Is, aa Mr. Pardee says, ti.e issue of backing to the finish the Itoys who are defending us In the hes of France. Thry need reinforcements. Shall they have them IA the 'liilek-tst and surest method in which then country can supply them? That is the one question which Canadians will answer when they gi to the polls.
