his office and Mr. Hepburn‘s constitution 0o The most of the people of Ontario took the results of the voting last week in a sportsmanlike manner. Mr. Hepburn and followers had won. The people had spoken. The verdict was clear and beyond question. It seemed to be the part n( democracy to accept it all with the best possible grace. «In view of the fact that the Liberals were enjoying their first victory at the polis in a third of a century, it canâ€" not be said that they showed undue elation. Neéither can it be said that the Conservatives evidenced particular peevishâ€" ness though no doubt they felt the signal defeat was not altogether deserved. At the same time it must be admitted that the overwhelming defeat came as a shock to the maâ€" jority of the Conservatives of the province. The shock of the defeat, however, was less severe than the shock suffered in the days after the election through the Selfishness and thoughtlessness are dt. the bottom of much of the speed and reckless driving of the day. . The figures quoted above show that speed is an injury to the speed artist, as well as a menace to all others using the roads. The safety of the public, the lives and property of motorists, and the pocketbooks of all are affected by speedâ€" ing. As a matter of personal economy and a question of the general advantage and safety, it would be well t,o'apply the brakes to speeding. For instance, a car driven at 20 miles per hour will be found to travel 25.4 miles on one gallon of gasoline. At 30 miles an hour, a car will only make 22.8 miles upon a gallon. At 40 miles per hour the automobile shows only 21.2 miles for each gallon of gas used. At 50 miles per hour, an automobile can only cover 19,.2 miles per gallon of gas. ' Raising the speed of a car to 60 miles per hour means that the gallon of gas is used in 17.3 miles. If the car is driven at 70 miles per hour a gallon of gas will only serve for 15.6 miles. f wWith these figures as a basis, it will be seen that the greater the speed the fewer miles that can be covered on a gallon of gasoline. Thus speed means that each mile costs the driver more in gasoline and expense. Speed is accordâ€" ingly proven to be costly, and it is the driver of the fastâ€" travelling car that foots the bill. Were this fact emphasizâ€" ed and reâ€"iterated until all were convinced of its truth, the mania for unnecessary speed might be diminished by the counter thought of the costly nature of excessive rates of speed. During the past few years the Ontario Government has carried on a planned campaign to reduce the toll of inâ€" jury and death through automobile accidents. The numâ€" ber of deaths and the amazing list of serious injury to people and damage to property have been made plain, yet motor accidents continue, though, perhaps, on a reduced scale to what might be. It has been proven that a large percentage of the serious automobile accidents may be tracâ€" ed to excessive speed, yet the racing of automobiles on the roads seems to continue. Perhaps, if the method adopted recently in Timmins were followed in every other municiâ€" pality, there might be some betterment. In the past few weeks the Timmins police have been carrying on a regular campaign against the speeder and the reckless driver, There is little doubt but that such a campaign helps to reduce the nqmber of accidents and the seriousness of the mishaps that do occur. In any event the people receive some reâ€" venue from the prosecution of offenders and this may be set down as something of an offset to the cost of the acciâ€" dents and injuries and deaths that grow from speeding and from reckless driving. It is admitted that any measure that may be accepted top curb the accidents that arise from the use of automobiles will prove only a palliative, and not a cure. The only remedy for the automobile evil, as for the most of other evils of the day, is a new attitude, a new mind, a new heart, in the people in general. The remedy for most ills will be found in the one word, "religion," using that word in its broader sense of an attitude of regard for others. A return to the religion of the oldâ€"time residents of Canada would fill the bill.

In his later reâ€" ferences that he planned to follow the methods of Sir J. P Whitney in regard to the civil servants of Ontario, Mr. Hepâ€" burn was on much better and more popular ground. The fact is that the majority of the people of Ontaric are ready to give Mr. Hepburn support and coâ€"operation a: their premier. The truth is that withcut general support and coâ€"operation Mr. Hepburn can hope for little success ir his new work. He may have the goodwill of the majorityv or he may alienate the sympathy of large numbers of the people. The choice is before him, and no true friend o his and no true friend of the province would care to se him antagonize any material section of the province simply to ca‘rry beyond the election the tactics that are fit, perâ€" Irayed from the personal purse of the incumbent of the ice. The saving by abolishion of the office of Licutenantâ€" overnor would be less than might be secured by abolishâ€" 4 the post of premier. The constitution was devised to ovide a check for the premier and his administration, so at the people‘s interests might be guarded. To suggest e abolishing of the Lieutenantâ€"Governor‘s position seems in to the manager of a business urging the discharge the auditor as a matter of economy. The latter proposal do little more than rouse enquiry as to what was anned that feared a lawful check. Mr. Hepburn was equally disappointing in his rather crude that newspaper reporters pass the word along at public servants in high places "pack their bags." In e heat of an election remarks of that sort would be overâ€" g_ls_e perhaps, but after the election is over, a new preâ€" P. M.

Mr. Hepburn‘s references nantâ€"Governor were most unfortunate, and all because the Lieutenantâ€"Governor by virtue of i position is debarred from defence or reply. ‘s attitude suggested an interference with the f the country. The people in genéral had no y such reversal of the constitution when Mr. elected. Most of the people of Ontario would Mr. Hepburn cost too much if his advent to a shattering of the constitution. The cost of itâ€"Governor to the people of the province is a with the agricultural problems of the North through his many years as representative of the Agricultural Departâ€" ment of successive governments. There are some in the North who fear that the North will be neglected under the present regime. It will be the task of the new members from the North to see that this is not the case. Fortunately the Northern members have the knowledge and the ability to present their case in effecâ€" tive way. They should stand together in this and should have the support of all the North for the North‘s sake and for the advantage of all Ontario. Whatever policy may be adopted for the development and progress of the North should be given a fair and full trial. With the sympathy of the North any new plans will have added opportunity for success. For this reason it is to be hoped that no drastic measures will be attempted until the situation is fully weighed. For instance, it would be well to carry along any roadwork or other public works now under progress until such time as other methods may take the place of any that it is desired to change. At the presâ€" ent moment there are literally hundreds of men employed on various public works in the North. To stop these activiâ€" ties without providing others to replace them would be a serious blow to the North. It still remains a fact that work or relief are necessary in numerous places. The interests of the South as well as of the North lie in the new governâ€" ment‘s apprecigtion of the possibilities of the North and the ability with which the problems of the North are met.

It is admitted that the gold production of the North was a vital factor in helping carry through the province in the depression now passing. For this reason it is sincerely to be hoped that nothing is allowed to hamper the growth and progress of the North. Whatever money will be spent in the North for development purposes will be money well invested and will return many fold in one way or another to the people of the province. It may be noted in passing that the Conservative Government in Ontario during recent years has realized the value of the North to the rest of Ontario and much money has been invested here in roads and other necessary public works with consequent value to the province as a whole. Hon. Chas. McCrea, A. F. Kenning, A. V. Waters, A. J. Kennedy and other members of the Ontario Legislature from the Northern constituencies have been ardent and able advocates for the North and have been able in recent years to secure the support of the South in measures leadâ€" ing to the further development of the riches of the North. Local boards of trade, the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, and various societies and individuals have tm â€"MP C AMP P PP A CAAA C LAAA PAAA LAAA SAAA P AP ~ALP LAAA LA of note in this particular. The large measure of success that nas been achieved in recent years in bringing the north to favourable attention has been due to the efforts of men who know the North and whose whole heart is in the deâ€" velopment and prosperity of the North. In this particular the change of government should make only a slight differâ€" ence to the North. There will be many of the new memâ€" bers in the South who will have to be informed and imâ€" pressed with the possibilitiese of the North. To many this country is still a closed book. These people will need to be shown the latent wealth of the North and its prospects for the future welfare of the province. Fortunately, the new members elected from the North to the Legislature are well equipped for this good work. They know the North, its needs and its possibilities. They are enthusiastic for the North and should be able to inspire others with the same faith in this country. Among the members expected in the new cabinet there should be two or more with knowledge and belief in the North from personal knowledge and exâ€" perience. A. W. Roebuck, freely named as the likely choice for Attorneyâ€"General, spent some years in the North in his younger days and has kept in fairly close touch with the country. Mr. Lapierre, of Sudbury, is named for a place in the Hepburn cabinet, and his knowledge of the North is broad and his faith strong. John Rowlandson, member for South Cochrane, is a pionger of the North who for many years has taken a keen interest in public affairs in the North. W.C. Nixon, of New Liskeard, the new member for Temiskaming riding, has a particularly wide acquaintance with the agricultural pnroblems of the North throuch his ing to the further development of the riches of the North. Local boards of trade, the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, and various societies and individuals have helped to "sell" the North to the South, while the work of the oldâ€"established newspapers of the North is also worthy At the present moment The Toronto Globe is being showâ€" ered with compliments from all sides on the notable part it played in winning the election. Mr. Hepburn himself has publicly thanked The Globe and referred to it as the most influential newspaper in Canada. In this Mr. Hepburn is keeping well within the truth. If he is sincere in his belief in The Globe‘s power during the election, he should prove it by readiness to follow The Globe‘s lead in the matters that arise after the election. Again he has his choice before him. He can remain with The Globe and its high ideals, or he can follow the lesser lights that believe that patronâ€" age and partyism are the whole sum and substance of poliâ€" tics. Mr. Hepburn owes much to The Globe‘s capability and sincerity. The Globe‘s loyalty and fairness will be of advantage for him to follow now. The people of Ontario are roady to place province above party. The new premier of tae province should lead the way. | il iiso appearing to 1f f turning all gove At the present m red with complime n of T WORK FOR THE NORTH! m and substance of poliâ€" ) The Globe‘s capability and fairness will be of The people of Ontaric party.
