:ii'i8/ir2 'Ta if? virpliii $5.2 5232:" :12 _ It is proposed to pass a bill arthe present session of the' legislature respecting illegitimate 'children, of whom large numbers are born and many deserted every year. The bill proposes State action to establish paternity; to require financial support by both parents; to give the child the same inheritance rights as a legitimate one; to give the child use of the father's name; to require the father to bear the expenses of childbirth; and establish a system of supervision over the care of the child if it is placed in a home. These principles cannot be challenged. At present, as pointed out by The Mail and Empire, the father escapes, nine. times out of ten, without any responsibility. The "unmarried mo- ther strives, as best she can, to get the child cared for, while endeavoring to avoid the stigma which open acknowledgment of her maternal re- lationship would bring on herself. The circum- stances of desertion in these cases smite on the heart of all kindly people. That there is another side to chquestion is made clear in a letter to "The M2%)& Empire from the pen of Mr. W. E. Lear, a ronto barrister, who says: "I do chal- lenge these principles. They are absolutely un- soun.d in theory and' practice. If the Legislature places the illegitimate child in exactly the same position as the legitimate child, then, likewise} the illegitimate wife will enjoy all the advanta- ges of the legitimate wife. If illegitimate chil- dren and illegitimate wix7es are recognized by the law, what encouragement will there be for women to become legitimate wives? Women will reason, "why should I be tied to one man for life? Why should I take on the burden of keeping up a home? The law permits me to go out with any man I may choose, and if any ac- cident should happen, why it is no disgrace; the law recognizes it; it can have its father's name and inherit its father'ttwealth." How many thou- sand women will throw themselves in the path of the rich man so" that the child ‘may inherit the father's name and fortune? Every rich man in the Province will be blackmailed into the legal fatherhood of all the illegitimate children born to his female employes. Respectable homes will be broken up and legitimate wives will become the keepers of their husbands' brothers. Mar- riage may not be a sacrament in the eyes of Pro- testants, but the day the Legislature grants all the rights of legitimacy to the illegitimate, it will sound the death knell to Protestantism. All re- spectable citizens will be forced to side with Rome and the rest will go the, way of the free- lover, the harlot and the libertine." Last year Canadians imported $1,600,000 worth of shoes. American manufacturers create demands for shoes by changing the styles as fre-' quently as possible. Canadian dealers advertise "imported" shoes and sell them readily to ladies who make little if any inquiry regarding their value. The fact that they are "imported" is suf- ficient guarante of their quality. In every in- stante goods of Canadian manufacture are quite as wood,“ and in nearly every line have as good appearance as the foreign made article so eager- ly sought after. Had that $1,600,000 all stayed in Canada, it would have provided employment for many persons during the present winter. Buy Canadian goods. "The amendment to the Public School Act, "which provides that all boys and girls between the ages of fourteen and sixteen must attend school goes into force on the first of September next, unless the Ontario Government changes the law. The; enforcement of this provision will take many young people from the shops and fac- tories and return them to their studies.‘ It will take from many a home a goodly portion of its revenue. Once the raising of the new age limit has been laccepted and enforced, families in poor- 'er' circumstances will be compelled to increase their incomes to cover the additional gutlay which the change will involve. There will be difficulty for a time in enforcing the act for the reason that many boys do not desire to continue at school after ll years of age, ind because their parehts would rather have them working in a shop than idling in a school house. It is part of the present government's policy to gire‘the boys on the farm equal educational oportunities .With those enjoyed by the residents of the towns and cities. if Mr. Morrison favors this piece of leg- islation it will no doubt be enforced. With what results time will tell. - Just twenty-five years ago Messrs. A. T. Wil- i’gress and W. J. Healy, under the firm name of Wilgress and Healy, were proprietors of The Brockville Times, since amalgamated with The Redorder of that town, Ontario's oldest newspa- per, Mr. Wilgress acting as editor. and(pur. Hea- ly as business manager, says The Telegram. iBbthmembers of the firm have since entered Government service, and by a curious freak of coincidence they are nowi filling identical posi- tions in sister Canadian provinces. Mr. Healy is Provincial Librarian of Manitoba, and Mr. W il- gtegs a few days ago assumed the same office in Ontario, tin transfer from the King's Printer.

WILSON. Manage? ‘German competition, according to a recent bulletin prthe Canadian Reconstruction Asso- ciation, is beginning to make itself felt in Canada and demands the careful consideration of the Government, of manufacturers, and of Labor or- ganizations. Already European competitors are seriously concerned. In Sweden there has been general demand among Swedish manufacturers for higher tariffs. The American Consul at Gote- berg has notified his government that it seems certain that this agitation will result in increas- ed protection for home manufacturers. In Great Britain the attention of the president of the Board of Trade has been called to the dumping of German, magnetos on the British market at low figures", and he has been -asked whether he will prohibit such imports until trade and CN- changes' are normal, thus protecting a key indus- try. The British government has undertaken to introduce legislation dealing with key industries at the beginning of the next session of Parlia- ment. Germany is also reported to be offering nets, silk embroideries, etc., for sale in h'otting- ham at lower prices than the cost of manufacture in the centre of the British lace industry. Hor- iery. fabric gloves, and cheap cutlery of German origin are being: offered in foreign markets at very low figures. ' The province has more horses than ever be- fore, in spite of the fact that automobiles are nu- merous. Until the advent of the motor car many farmers had a driving horse and good top buggy. These have given place to the ever pres- ent automobile. The extra horses are employed on the farm. As an indication of the apparent profit that accrues to Britain from the drink traffici, the firm of Arthur Guiness, Son & Co., paid s211,000,000 out of a total profit of E13,000,000 to the Gov- ernment. This takes no account of the pauper- ism and impoverishment caused by drink, and which has to be provided for by the country.. R. L. Brackin,_M.P.P., for Wtst Kent, intends introducing a bill in the legislature providing for the furnishing of free books to all children at- tending the public and separate schools of the province. The measure will be very acceptable in certain quarters, but it is not at all probable that the provinced treasurer, who must provide the money will be very sympathetic. He may,- however, hand it over to the municipalities) who could impose the necessary direct taxation. Conditions) trade are reported much more satisfactory all the country over during the past two weeks., Factories that were closed are re- surning operations, some with full staffs and full time, others with a partial number of their for- mer employees and part time; but all feeling the change and preparing for a resumption of busi- ness. In many places longer hours "e being ip- sisted upon, which will enable thogdesiring to do so to earn their former wages ven with the reduction per hour which the larger concerns are forced to impose. Continued prosperity is assured in Canada if men and women will keep their heads level, work, economise and co-Oper- ate. Alger (Ohio) News: By watching the adver- tising columns of a newspaper we are enabled to know the exact conditions of mercantile af- fairs and the general prosperity) or depression in the town where that paper is published. We can sit out our desk and pick out the live business towns and the dead towns. There/ls no better index to a town than vits paper. It is a better; criterion to go by, and is considered so by 'sa- gracious men, than a photograph. It is the en- terprise of the inhabitants and not the size of the buildings that makes the town. You may" pick up a paper and read at a glance: "We mean business," or "We'ce dearer than a stuffed bird'" as plain as though it were printed in ten-line pi- ca and red ink across every page. In a very real sense, every man stands alone. lust as alone as though he were the only man in the world. While there are times when we may think "en masse" and work in gangs, and trade in corporations, and pray by congregations, and sing in choruses-nevertheless, there comes to each of us the time when we must do these things alone. When a young fellow starts out in his musical career, taking his place in a chorus, he is not particularly disturbed if he fails to make good upon every occasion, because he knows that one or more of his neighbors in the chorus, will do so, so that his failure will not be noticed. But when he begins to sing solo parts, he knows that it is strictly up to him to make good. He must strike high "G" or low "F" clear and strong, without flabbiness or uncertainty. For the time being, he becomes the only man imthe chorus, Each of us has our solo part in life-occasions when we cannot depend upon our neighbors in the chorus, to do our part. Nor can we "fake", the score which we have imper- fectly learned. Inefficiency, or ignorance, or weakness, cannot/hen be given as, an excuse. This does not mean that we shall be expected to play ahother's part, any more than you’d ex- pect a basrvoice to sing the soprano score. There's variety enough in life to give each of us a solo, fitted to our peculiar range. ‘If you can- not-take high 'fC" comfortably, you may 'sing. the (tones of the middle register with greater power and) effectiveness. /" The doings of the lOntario legislative noitr in session will be followed by the people with more than ordinary interest. ' The last session, which was the first under the leadership of the new party, showed the two old parties exhibiting the greatest consideration for the new occupants of the treasury benches. Hon. Howard, Ferguson, the Conservative leader, was praised for the assistance rendered in the passage of different measures. This Near the Government will be expected to measure up to specifications. They promised economv; the people will expect to see the evidence. They promised improved condi- tions in so far as the interests of. the agricultur- ists were concerned: the farmers. who are not politicians, will be looking: for the advantages which they were' assured would follow the ad- vent to power of Mr, Drury and his party. The expenditure of the province was often criticised as to great and ever increasing. When the pro- vincial treasurer presents his budget, the pro- vince will study the figures with greatest care to discover to what extent the expected redvc- tions have been realized. They will also be in- terested in the details of the expenditure of six million dollars on roads and will ask what has been done With the monev. There is no time. like the old time, when You and I were young, Wheithe, buds of April blossomed, and the birds of spring-time sung! ; The gayden's brightest glories by summer suns are nursed, But, oh, the sweet, sweet violets, the flowers that opened first! There is no place like the old place, where you and I were born, Where we lifted first our eyelids on the splendors of the morn, From the milk-white breast that warmed us, from the clinging arms that bore, Whefe the dear eyes glistened o'er us that will look on us no more.

Don't, The corntiort and prosperity of the Whole community depend to a large extent on 'f}~:eeping the roads open this winter or the essential traffic. With prompt and persistent effort very few communities will suffer through snow blockades. _ There is no friend like thewold friend, who has shared our ~morning days, No greeting like his welcome, no homage like his praise; Fame is the scentless sunflower, with gaudy crown of gold; But friendship is the breathing rose, with love in every fold. There is no love like the old love, that we courted in our pride; Though our leaves are falling, falling, Ns and we're fading side by side, There are blossoms all around. us with the color of our dawn, And we live in borrowed sunshine when the daystar is withdrawn. There are no times like the old times -they shall never be forgot! There is no place like the old, place- keep green the dear old spot. There are no friends like our' old friends-may Heaven. prolong their lives'. There are no loves like our old loves -God bless our loving wives! -By Oliver \Yendell Holmes, 1865. The problem is one Which directly or indirectly affects every individual in the community. Industrial cxpan- sion has now reached a point where it becomes necessary to educate and arouse public interest in the intelli- gent and scientific handling of the difficulties 'attendant upon snow blockades which entail a loss throughout the Dominion. of millions of dollars annually. l Within recent years many munioi- palities have demonstrated the possi- bilities of well planned action in keeping highways clqa,r. The cost of the work appears heavy it is true, but it is insignificant éompared with the loss resulting from idle traffic. The city of Neiv York, éccording to a conservativ estimate made by the Merchants' '1:i?is'?iii,, lost about $60,000,000 ast year through delay caused by s ow. A strenuous fight in- volving the expenditure of close to $5,000,000 proved ineffectual owing to lack of effective equipment, and the absence of well laid plans to en- compass the difficulity. This year New York has appointed an adequate amount and the battle is well plann- ed. l ' The retailers/merchants and manu- facturers are not looking to the mu- nicipal authorities alonejor aid. The duty of arousing the proper author'- ities to the necessity of combatting and overcoming the difficulties is one which vitally concerns) the fatepayer. To a, great extent business in gen- eral and the public at large assume a, very pathetic and tolerant attitude toward the snow problem, but the in- dispensible place in industrial life occupied by the automotive vehicle renders concerted action imperative.
