MENT When W. F. Nickle, member for Kingston, introduced in the hodse his {motion to restrict the conferring of titles in C da, he probably never dreamed that premier of this Deo- ii would stake his political life on the defeat of the measure and of the amendment moved thereto. Bup- portérs of Union Government, who favored the abolition of titles, were dumbfounded at the choice they were suddenly called upon to make. They had to surrender the keeping of their consciences to the premier, or see a government, entrusted with the peo- ple's mandate to carry on the war, step down and out, thus bringing about a collapse---~--temporary at least ---0f our war effort and throwing the country into a state of political turmoil. Sir Robert Borden had ab- solutely no justification 'in placing supporters of Union Government in such a dilemma. His action was as unfair as it was uncalled for. Supporters of Union Government were elected for the purpose of vigor ously carrying on the war. On all other measures they were expected to vote--not at the crack of a party whip--but as their consciences dictated, The titles reso- it was of absolutely no bearing, and loyally lation was not a war measure; and solely form, having present or prospective, upon the con duet of the The great majority of the Canadian people heartily sick of title-mongering wish to see this means of perpetuating class distinction once and forever abolish- ad. There is no place for the growth of this institution on the gol of demo- eratic Canada, This is also the feel- ing of practically all the supporters of Union Government. Mr. Nickle, then, was but giving voice to the al- most unanimous sentiment-and deter mination of the people and their re- presentatives in parliament when he introduced his motion. The premier by an unwarranted and indefensible method procedure-- usurping the powers of auntoerat----sought and found thé support he was entitled to receive. Sir Robert Borden's attitude on this guestion will be regarded throughout .the country as a grave mistake, It will impel members of parliament to pause and enquire whether freedom of action is theirs or not. 'Their independence to ex- press their own views and those of their constituents on questions not related to the war, is at stake, If they must meekly follow the dictates of the government, if they must bow béfore the threats of a piqued prem- ier, then will .the House of Commons lose its proud distinction of being a free deliberative assembly and -be« come but the echo of the voice of an autocratic' govepnment and its legis- lative head. This question of titles will come up again next session, and Sir Robert Borden. will be well ad- vised to gracefully submit to the will of the people and to the determina« tion of the members of the house to vote as their conscience dittates on all matters not related to the war, THE COMING REGISTRATION. Unquestionably, the government is anxious that the coming registra- tion of the man and woman power of 'Canada should be taken with the minimum amount of Interference to business and to production. To per- form this 'immense tusk in a period of fifteen hours is a difficult under taking, requiring the expert services of many thousand registrars and helpers and their thorough drilling in the compléx work necessary to its successful accomplishment: "Industrial Canada" realizes the importance and the immensity of tha task when it points out that thers will be no time for gaiming experi- ence after one has entered upon his employment; and that each indivi: dual member of the staff should bo selected with an eve single to the qualifications he possesses for the work in hand. Employees of labor can, if they will, greatly simplify the work of the registrars and help in securing a registration that'will per-{ 4 a measure re- war. are and of -by an Amit of the intelligent mobilization {of labor, If they will themselves un- dertake the registration of those in | their employ, or have it done under | their persona} direction. Considered not | them their full day's work. In gena- ral practice it will be found that the employees of any establishment can be mote fguickly and much more in- telligently registered by one of theiy ces, who knows some- ' ngtances and capabilities, than by one who is a eomplete stranger. Any employer of labor who is willing to co-operate in this way has only to communicate with the registrar of his district te ensure the acceptance of his offer of gervice and the authorization of ar- rangements that will be: mutually satisfactory. The heads of business and industrial establishments in Kingston will likely avail them- selves of this privilege, and thus as- sist in. the work of national registra- tion, fellow empleo thing of the ann | MILITARY NEWS | Emery, the son Mre, GQ.

There are more than Bfteen hundred lakes and rivers in the Park, and to the excel- lence of the fishing there is undis- puted testimony.

Don't use prepared shampoos or anything else that con- tains too much alkali, This dries the sealp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil {Which is pure and greaseless), and is better than anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thorough- ly. Simply moisten the hair with was ter and rub it in. It makes an abund- ance of rich, ereamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every par- ticle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex- cessive oil. The hai ries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut eil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every mem- ber of the family for months.
