If It is doubtfulif British political history f furnishes a parallel to the defeat of three cabinet ministers in three successive bye-." elections within a few days ofone another. In East Willesden, Hon. George F. Stan-,` ley, Under Secretary of Home Affairs, was defeated by Harcourt Johnstone, Independ-g * crit Liberal, by 15,000 to 9,000 votes. "1`he`. C latter was defeated. in the general `elections 9 by 1,314.` In Mitcham, Sir Arthur Griffith- '_ l` Boscawen, Minister of Health, was beaten!` by 883 votes, the succcssful.candidate be- _ 1 ing J, C. Huter.Ede, a Labor man. There 5 was athird candidate in this fight, an In- dependent Conservative, who polled over ` 2,600 votes, mostof which otherwise would have gone to the minister. The Labor victory, therefore was not exactly clear- cut. But in the third contest the Labor ' party won a decisive victory in a straight, battle waged in a Con.servative stronghold. This was in the`Edgehill division of Liver- pool where John Walter Hills, Financial ; Secretary of the Treasury. ivas defeated by 3 . J. H. Hayes. Labor, who polled 10.000 ` votes to 9,250. This victory seems to have astounded the Labor men themselves. They are naturally jubilant over the two succes- ses recorded for them out of the three con~ tests, while the Liberals` have also a meas- ure of gratification. The three ministers who had to face the electors because of their appointment to thegovernment. have placed their resignations in the hands of Premier Bonar Law. A 1 THURSDAY; MARCH us, 1923.

The debate was not on "that subject in so many words, but its course and its result. have that `meaning. .Its origin was :1 measure which abolishes` the necessity of a woman proving cruelty; and desertion in addition to adultery before she can obtain a divorce` from her hus-l band. In the case of the husba'nd'seekingl divorce, the law has required that he` should only produce proofsof misconductl on the part of his"wife.; Thedebate hadj a certain amount` of emotional intermt as all discussion on sex matters have for ['most people.

A. perfectly innocuous re-l laolution, agreed to without division, was t the result. It was couched in these words: It is desirable that measures .should be adopted to encourage the publication of Canadian magazines and periodicals." He would be a poor Canadian indeed who could not subscribe. to an expression of that kind. But when it. comes to details of lmeasures to. check the flood from over the borderline opinions differ widely. _ One idea gtllt has .found favor in some quarters, is. a tax on the advertisements carried in the ;United States publications coming into ;this country.

George Reid, who entered upon` the man- ufacture of liquor at his home on Beech Street. Collingvwood, has found that the promotion of an industry is quite expen- that while Seagram and Walker have be- come millionaires by the manufacture of whiskey that they are exceptions. The trouble in Georges case was the lack of capital, the need of a license and the in- terference of the police. It was on February 20 that the industry blew up, or in other words, that the police dropped in and took George and his stillginto camp. At the time a charge was laid of violation of the Inland Revenue Act which prohibits the posses- sion of any device`for the distilling of in- toxicating beverages. Owing to illness Reid, however, was sent to the hospital `and it was not until Tuesday morning, March, 6, that his case was heard. On this occasion he 'admitted_the charge, leaving the court but one course, namely, to register a conviction which carried with it, through the leniency of the magistrate, the minimum fine of $200 with the option of six months in the ' county jail. It was a hard blow to Mr. Reid-_. but industries unlicensed} unherald- ed, and undesired have of necessity to be closed down.-.In addition to the conviction the apparatus of the distiller was confis- cated and. added to the museum of the pol- \ sive. He has learned among other hngs ice department. I u | I It is a coincidence that revelations as. to the drug traffic in Canada have been followed by aivigorous campaign` in Italy against _drug'peddlers, drug addicts. the worl!-famous beggars of Rome, and the shiftless portions of the country s popula- tion in general." Premier Mussolini and his supporters are dealing with the problems presented by these gentry with vigor. Ac- {ion was taken with a suddenness and thoroughness that has characterized most of the operations of the present Italian Gov- ernment, which seems to be quite capable of dealing with _the various emergencies confronting the country. There had long been a policy of drift and compromise in Italy which was leading to confusion at home and loss of prestige abroad.
