THESE ELECTORS NOT FICKLE The reeve of Raglan township, Renfrew County, has been elected to office for the se- cond consecutive year by a one-vote margin. The count stood 111 to 110 and his opponent was the same man on both occasions. Here, at least, is one community where people do not change their minds, and this goes for the wo- men too. _ ..-..,J AC I-`an uunuIcIIlI1 0f"1:A\IDl`YIPY'|+ H1611 LUU.

There is only onededuction to be made- the situation is due to a decreasing interest in municipal affairs coupled with a widespread be- lief among many that things will continue to go on much the same no matter who is elected. Evidence is piling up that we are drifting slow- ly but surely toward a commission or some sim- ilar form. of municipal government. WORKMI-1N S COMPENSATION How great the extent to which workmen_ of this province are benefittingunder the Work- men s Compensation Act is shown by the figur- es for 1928 just issued by the Board. The to- tal reached the big sum of $7,067,946.93; of which $5,901,439.39 was paid for ;compensa- tion and $1,166,507.54 for medical aid. The total number of accidents `was 79,398. Under the Compensation Act, employers are divided into` schedules 1 and 2 and Crown Cases. The Crown Cases are those of the Federal` and Pro- vincial Governments. Schedule 2 includes the steamand electric railways, the telegraph and telephone companies, school boards, municip- alities, etc. In schedule 1 `there are approxim- ately twenty-five' thousand industries, these be- ing by payroll, largely. the manufacturing in- terests of the Province in which there has been a remarkable increase in employment over for- mer years. The cost o-f this aid given to employ- ees-and in case of fatal accidents, to their fam- i1ies-is borne by the industries, the rate vary- ing according to the number of accidents in each classification the previous year. This legis- lation has proved a wonderful benefit to labor and also to employers who are in this way pro- _, tected against very heavy claims in cases of bad accidents and are also saved unpleasant differ- ences that might arise with injured employees if protection were not afforded by this govern- - ment measure. LONG DISTANCE CRITICISM It is indeed interesting to note the various p platforms of mayoralty candidates in recent municipal election-s. Mayor-elect Ben. John- ston, ex-M.P.P., of Orillia, for instance, attack- ed the alleged high county rate and went so far as to advocate theseparation of Orillia from the county, or the creation of_ a new county. smaller -`and less expensive to maintain. `Splen- did in theory, is it not? But-then mayors do not sit on county. councils. Mayor Johnston should have run for reeve and carried his opinions to the foot ofthe throne. He might'get some place with his proposals via that `route.

The rinks got away to a late start this year, but Midland can take consolation in the fact that it has no rink. A speaker at Barrie last week suggested a council numerically small enough to get its feet under one table, -but did not stipulate the table should not be` of the gateleg variety. David H. Church, after a quarter of a cen- tury of municipal service in Orillia, has been defeated at the polls. The Church-going elector- ate of Orillia would appear to be decreasing. . _ A farmer and operator of a provincial snow- plow gotinto a heated argument in a church shed the other day on the benefits of snow- plowing "the road.

Orillia Packet and Times--In consenting to-keep open the provincial highway between Torono and Orillia, in spite of the resolution passed by _th Simcoe County Council, the Hon. Geo. 8, Henry bowed to the inevitable: To have refused would on1y,have prolonged the agita- tion, and inflicted inconvenience and loss on the indus- tries thatuse the trucks for delivery. Already this form of transportation has become; essential to enable" certain industries to compete. The railways cannot `meet the new conditions. So rapidly does business change these days. The Minister of Public Highways evidently realized the situation, and gave his consent promptly and gracefully, at _the same time he was firm in recognizing the fact that the ploughing of the roads will cause inconvenience `to some farmers, and in -declaring that everything pos- _ sible should" bedone to reduce` this to a minimum.

Meanwhile the super-educated Canadian sports writer is stumbling all over the names of these born and bred Canadians. The Globe's correspondent, for instance, has it Jan Koski whereas the athlete's right name is Stevedore Yanko-ski, and so on down the line. Very few of these names are ever spelled correctly in the Toronto press, although letter combina- tions of most European family names are very easy to learn. . .

It was found- ed by George Pirie, once a. farmer at Bon Accord, but at the time editor of the Guelph Herald. since 1865, when the name of the publication was changed, only three families have supplied `the paper with editors--the Watts, the Craigs, and the Templins. i Q j School childrenfchurch and thea- tre-goers, dancing enthusiasts..etc., of St. Marys, Ont., have been having a rather quiet time or it. Owing to the prevalence of inuenza. the health au- thorities shut up `the whole -town, tight. Bowling alleys, billiard parlors and the Public Library were included and people invited to stay at home, ex- cept to go to work or business or to purchase the necessities of life. There were a great many cases of a mild nature. and while there had been but one death, the M.O.H. decided to take no chances. The ban was lifted on January 14, a week later than in most towns which, however, did not take such stringent measures. ` An exciting chase after $4,000 worth of silver fox furs occurred. near Picton last week. A Jew from out of town outbid a local dealer for the pelts and tendered a $500 cheque as part pay`- ment, departing with the furs. The local dealer happened in shortly after and raised the question of the genu- ineness of the cheque. The holders of it had not thought of a worthless cheque so set out after the Jew. They caught up with him at Bloomfield. Here they tried to cash the cheque. The bank there refused to do so. The Jew tried to escape and there was a merry tussle. The Provincial Police was called. The furs were surrendered and returned to Picton. It is under- stood that the Picton dealer purchased them later. .|..n..l. First it was the town of Simcoe, now it is Fergus which has been holding out on a new uniform for its Chief of Police. Simcoe went the whole route, coat, vest and pants, but it can take a lesson from the good old Scotch town of Fergus. The guardian of the law of that town knew better than to ask for anything more than the pants and was lucky to get even these. That he did is alone attributed to the fact that the request was made at an op- portune moment, the Christmas spirit ruling over Scotch economy. So the chief has found it unnecessary to ar- rest himself for vagrancy and mean- while the taxpayers are green with envy every time they compare their own highwaters with what the omcial baton wielder is walking around in. Acknowledging a Christmas greet- ing card from faraway San Antonio. Texas, Dr. J. Morrison, once principal of Newmarket and other Ontario high schools, says he believes he is the old- est living graduate of Toronto Univer- sity. He is in his 91st year, entering U. of T. over 70 years ago. He believes Sir William Mulock comes next. The doctor writes: f`Many of my former pupils in Newmarket, Walkerton and elsewhere, have passed over the Great Divide. All those who graduated with me in Toronto, Syracuse and Middle- bury have entered the Spirit Land. I am now the oldest living graduate or the University of Toronto. The next to me is the present Chancellor, Sir William Mulock. I entered the Uni- versity in 1858, over 70 years ago. I am now ninety and a half years old, in the -medical profession over 62 years, and still on deck, practising medicine, making some of the so-call- ed incurable diseases my specialty. Dr. Morrison enclosed a copy of his brochure on cancer, the first, he in- timated, ever issued in the world on its cause, nature and cure. Last May the United States Senate published the essential portion of his work on tuber- culosis in the Congessional Record, which circulates over America and a portion of Europe. Were you ever stopped by the pol- ice in the early `mom and ordered to drive your car much faster than per- mitted by the law of the land? Such was the experience recently of two Walkerton men, Hugh Mccarey and Arthur Klein, who were halted near Guelph, en route from Toronto to Walkerton.` The oicers jumped into the rear seat and ordered Klein to shove the accelerator to -the boards and drive in a certain direction oi! his course. The police were after Orville W. Shaw, Skunk s Misery _mystery man, and Dick Brennan, the man with whom he escaped from Chatham Jail. True enough, says The Telescope, the car under suspicion was being operat- ed by' Shaw and Brennan. The Walk- erton car overtook them, but the des- peradoes, as quick as a ash, turned up a sideroad, ditched their machine, jumped out, climbed a fence, and dis- appeared in the darkness. The police, realizing that it was useless to give chase, examined the car. It contained a quantity or provisions, 700 rounds of shot gun ammunition and two old- fashioned revolvers.
