Poison is sometimes a dangerous means of killing pests as it may destroy dogs and other animals for which it is not intended. If the gov- ernment does sanction this method of dealing with thewolf menace the bait should be set out under close supervision. Bob Armstrong, one ofthe three men who 9 captured Louis Reil after the Northwest Rebel- lion, has applied for an old age pension at Ed- ` monton. It has been refused because he broke the residence rule having lived for a short per- iod in the States during the last 20 years. The old man says General Middleton promised him 231,000 and he never got it. The Government s excuse for its refusal seems insignificant in view of the service. rendered by this war veteran. HUD Celebration of Armistice Day each year is :1 tribute of respect due the men who laid down their lives as the price of world freedom. Even if no public demonstration were held these brave soldiers would not be forgotten. But it is fitting that Canadians should `honor their memory in l some outward form that will bring home to the rising generation the noble example set by those who perished in a war to ends wars. The hnuv nnrd n-:r1c AF +r\dO\I urhn \lIPl`FS f The Welland-Port Colborne Evening Tri- bune is the latest Ontario newspaper to enter i the daily field. Hitherto it "has been published three times a week." Increased population due to phenomenal industrial activity in the Niagara Peninsula has justified the publishers of this journal in taking the step they have. The Tri- bune was a most creditable newspaper while in the tri-weekly class and there is no doubt it will be equally successful in the larger sphere it en- tered upon last Monday. This is indeed the day of higher .education. We learn that the l-atest along this line is a class in matrimony started by the Tofonto Y.M.C.A. Probably the learned gentlemen who lecture on the subject will be known as doctors of matri- mony because the title doctor is widely applied these days. Anyway it s a safe guess that the 2 girls aren t going to fall for a man just because i he has a graduation diploma from a school of matrimony. They are more likely to smile sweet- 1y on some dashing rogue who never heard of the class established by the Toronto Y.M.C.A. Orillia newpapers are peeved at the police magistrate of that town `because-"he excluded public and press from the court room when the FranklinABu1l case was heard. Bull was charged with assaulting a-girl and the police withdrew EDITORIAL NOTES (C0 Zount your the accusation after holding him for a week on bail. `The Orillia Pack-et and Times points out that as there was no evidence taken the magis- trate s action was purpo-s`e'1ess. The Orillia News- Letter asserts that the Magistrate by his decision t to deal with the case in camera prevented Buli from being vindicated before the public. It also insists that the `Bench was discourteous to the l newspapers which quite often extend courtesy to the Bench. - The death of Alex. Mewhinney, Liberal can- did-atein North Bruce, on the eve of the elections was a tragic blow to his relatives and friends. As the representative of his riding in the last Legislature Mr. Mewhinney was an experienced public man. Had he lived there is little doubt he would have been successful at the polls. No doubt his end was hastened by the strain of the campaign. As Dr.'Simpson, member-elect for ` Centre Simcoe, remarked election night, a poli- tical campaign entails much hard work. Seeing a that Mr. Mewhinney was the late member and died on the eve of election, it would be a grace- ful thing if the Conservatives would allow the Liberal nominee in that riding to be elected by acclamation.

The least bit of horse sense would show him that traffic'on the main street is What business people need. 3 t I PROPOS OF THE CELRATION ` in connection with the 50th anni- versary of the invention by Edison of the electric light the editor of the Bracebridge Herald comments on in- troduction of electricity into this dis- trict. I-Ie says:-W. S. Shaw, founder of the Anglo Canadian tannery, in- troduced electric light into Brace- bridge. As soon as possible some of us had our stores wired for electric light. At that time a young bachelor had his apartment over the store and it also was wired ready. One night he had just nicely got into bed when there was a fourst of light! The room was bright with electric light! He jumped out of bed and ran down the back stairs to see what the store looked like. Not for some time did he become con- scious that the most conspicuous art- icle in the store was the proprietor standing in the middle of it in his night robe (There were no pyjamas then), the store ablaze with light and blinds all up. A commercial traveller who still makes regular trips to Brace- bridge told me of lying awake all night in a Barrie hotel looking at the light which he didn't know how to put out and was afraid to go to sleep with it burning. Knox Church was one of the first public buildings in Bracebridge to install electric lights and I remem- ber good old Dr. Clark ca-utioning his congregation not to be alarmed as they were going to turn on the electric light and he assured his ock there was no danger." K 8 I BURNT SHOE cost an Orillia . hunter his only duck. says the News-Letter. Upsetting -his canoe in a wind that blew a gale, the young nimrod swam to shore with only a I I 1 duck and a box of matches saved 1 from the debacle. Gun, food, duffle, 1 and all were in the bottom of the lake. But he had matches--and soon there M was a big fire burning, and a naked youth bent over it arranging his sod- den clothes to dry. Heat made" him hungry, and soon the duck was sizzl- ing in tune to the steaming clothes. Time passed, as time will. The naked nimrod `became aware of a banefui odor that smote his nostrils `with all the unpleasantness peculiar to eau de skunk. He smelled duck and burnt his _nose and became convinced that so far as that duck was concerned, something was rotten in Denmark. The light went out of his life, and curses out of his frantic lips as he ung the duck out into the lake. Grrr! He was famished, starving, had a long, weary walk home. He had not eaten since morning--`but he'd be hanged if he'd eat such an odoriferous scandal as the duck had turned out. Bet- ter to die, empty, a` self-respecting Christian. The duck drifted out of sight in the tangled wav. G1-rrl Then he found his shoes were burning --perfu,me sublime. The rest is silence.

Howard Ferguson with the largest following` any government has had in the history of the Ontario Legislature cannot he interpreted otherwise than an en- dorsement of the Conservative record and pol- icies, including government control of liquor which was made the main issue of the cam- paign. it the tremendous majority given the government does not mean full endorsation of the principle of government sale, it does signify that the people are willing to see the present system given a further trial and to allow the Premier and the Attorney-General an oppor- tunity to put into effect the promised, and sad- l_\' needed, amendments to the measure. Mr. l~ erguson must not imagine that the al- most unanimous verdict given in his favor is it mandate for him to do as he pleases. The people look to him to implement his promises, particularly with respect to the L.C.A., a mea- sure which even Conservatives readily admit is far from perfect. By heavier penalties and stricter enforcement every effort should be made to eliminate drunken drivers from the liigltways. Some restriction should be made in the quantity purchasable by any individual and there should he imprisonment, with no option of a fine, for those contemptible curs who sup- ply liquor` to those who are debarred from pur- clrasing it themselves because of their `weak- ness for drink. in fact there should `be a general tiglrtening of the L..C.A. if it is to measure up to what the Premier claims for it. After last Wednesday's experience, it is very unlikely that the Liberal `party will for many years make prohibition a main plank in its plat- form, although there will undoubtedly be Lib- eral candidates who will personally advocate prohibition. The advancement of temperance will he dissociated from politics and will pro- ceed along educational lines. And to this end the : temperance instruction of the public schools- . migltt well be extended into the high schools where it would reach the boys and girls at a time when they are much closer to temptation than in their earlier years.

In view of the party s severe defeat, the victory of Dr. Simpson in Centre Simcoe is all the more notable. At the outset of the contest The Examiner said that the Liberals had a strong candidate, a `state- ment that `was fully :bOI`l1C out by `Dr. Simp- son s campaign and by the results. Though few in numbers a very important duty rests upon the members of the opposition. Where there is a large majority there is a tendency to laxity on the part of the government and a possibility of things being done which would not be permitt- ed were the majority close. There will be,- there- fore, very special need of -a vigilantand vigor- ous opposition in the new legislature. SGAP dred in a rural constituency" such as South West Simcoe, is no small achievement but thorough organization did it. Both Liberal and Prohibition proponents show but indifferent ability in meth- ods of organization and there is little doubt but that this lack cost them the loss of South West Simcoe. On the other `hand the personal aggres- tion undoubtedly contributed much to his suc- ` siveness of Dr. Simpson in matters of orgamza-`I cessful candidature in Centre Simcoe. Last week s Collingwood Bulletin had an in-1 teresting and highly creditable eight pages deal- ' ing with the harbor and new elevator. As might be expected, much interesting history is found in the articles, two of which are contributed by R. W. Thom. C.N.R. agent at Collingwood and formerly of Barrie, and Capt. James McCannel, ' well-known mariner of the C.P.R. passenger fleet on the upper lakes. As 'Capt. McCannel points out, the first shipment was made from y Chicago to Collingwood in 1856 and unloaded ` at the little dinky elevator which at the time stood on the south-westerly side of the freight` shed, which occupied the site `of the present structure. Since, for seventy years, grain has! been transhipped at this port. With a growing trade the old Northern Railway of Canada, in 1870-71, built the elevator here which has rendered such invaluable service throughout the intervening three score years. Atethe time it was the only elevator on the lakes and todayi it is the only one of that period left. I One swallow doesn t make a summer, but sometimes it makes a funeral.

Only l-ast Friday Miss True Dav-idson of J. M. Dent & Sons, Publishers, Toronto, told Barrie Kiwanians about the difficulties in the pathway of native authors and the good that would accrue from a distinct school of literary thought and technique in the Dominion. As she pointed out, a country s literature is the best advertising medium it can have not only in respect to other nations but as regards sections of the Dominion between which intercourse and communication are more or less limited. It isn't possible for many Nova Scotians to visit * British Columbia or vice versa, but the people of those two provinces can get an excellent idea of one another s problems, social conditions, and ever_vda_v life from the `pen of Canadian authors pro_vided their works are interesting enough to command and retain interest. The field for good Canadian books -is limited, unfor- tunately, and it is seldom that a book written by a Canadian about his own country reaches the status of a best seller in the United Sta- tes or Old Country. America and British crit- ics consider Canadian literature isn t worth both- ering about. For that reason, and `because of the greater prospect of success offered across the in- ternational line and in Europe, many Canadian writers of great promise and subsequent accom- plishment have been lost to this country. If Can- ada is ever to have a distinct literature of her own it is up to the reading public of the Dom- inion to encourage Canadian writers by extend- , ing patronage to their works. That is the only practical way they can encourage the -author and it is with a view to stimulating interest in Canadian `books that Book Week was inaug- urated. eleven years ago.

THE NOVA SCOTIA VOTE While the plebiscite results in Nova Scotia are not absolutely clear-cut because of contradic- tory replies to the questions on the ballot the Rhodes Administration is no doubt justified in assuming it has a mandate to establish a govern- ment liquor control system alongthe lines of those in operation in other provinces. {Wm nr-nnnnlv rs; l\lr\\ICl Qr'nHa < O`P9'1`5IT`hiC1 LAZENBY S CHEF SA UCE I _Bottle 230- Tg'T*5WTi*i% ' 1T{:~:_1=___-_.% Au.1=oRoc'roBER anda. in 111111 Al'\I\IYI'.` AlIl_`I3AI`1 DIAMOND CLEANSER % TINS !October as compiled for The Exam- Einer by W.

[[1056 III UpCI'?1UUll Ill ULUCI y1uvAu\.uo_. On account of Nova Scotia s geographical situation it will be harder to maintain govern- ment control on a satisfactory basis there than in any other province, not excepting British Co- lumbia. It is well known that Nova Scotia fisher- men have been running whiskey into the pro- vince from liquor laden s'hips on the Atlantic ever since the temperance act went into force. It is impossible for law enforcement officers to guard the hundreds of inlets along that far-flung coast line and the smugglers carry on their traf- ` fic with comparative impunity. Not only is this liquor sold in contravention of provincial laws ` but `it pays no excise tax and in that way violates federal regulations. Paying no excise this rum from the West indies and Scotch from the Old Country can be retailed at a price much below 1 that charged in provincialliquor stores of Can- ` ada. And the substitution of government control is not going to alter that phase of the situation. Iv_,.x-,l 1.1-- -:..-.......L,...-,..-.

Under the circumstances the smugglers and the bootleggers can continue to undersell the government stores established in Nova Scotia. Liquor control will not have a monopoly of the. business and profits will be reduced accordingly. And added to that, the government to protect its sellingoperations will have to increase its corps of enforcement officers at the expense of the public treasury. It is a safe guess that t`he profits from the liquor business in Nova Scotia will be insignificant in comparison with those reaped by inland provinces of the Dominion.
