"We're Just It" Say the Vulcanizing Boys With the Strange Spiels. whose tefendship we value very highly, said to us the other A Jejlow, I've counted them a dozen times day: "Why do they say 'Thousand Islands,' and can only score 988." We replied "You've been dealing with us a long time; many a repair job we've handled for you; llkewise whenever you've wanted something In the tire line you've come to us and sald: 'I guess it'l] be another Dunlop.' As to gas and oil--that's simply a question of total quantity bought by you. When you go home to-night, weave all we have said into a story and see if it doesn't answer your query about the 989." Next day he was back. "There is a point to your dope all right. It hits me on all four, but 1 admit I need the puimotor when it comes to hooking up the reladive values."

They would delete all unsavory pas- sages, of which there are quite a number. After hearing a sermon on the vile performances of the great King Da¥idl they want action by the Bible scholars. Their demand has nothing to do, however, with Higher Criticism, although it might be call- ed Modernism. Those fellows at Torontocare not the only ones guilty of conspiracy to defraud the government. Every man and woman: who smuggles articles into Canada conspires to defraud the government by cheating it out of the duties to which it is entitled. Be- tween the Toronto episodes: and those of petty smugglers there is only the matter of degree. -- The musical writers this week omitted to mention the fact that in the Kingstoh Choral Society, which sang '"The Messiah," there were sev- eral ladies and gentlemen over seventy years of age. The voices of these veteran singers have been re- markably preserved. --- . Surely the Ontario legislature members cannot be said to be inter- fering with religious liberty because they wish to protect the minority. The mihorities in both Quebec and Ontario have always been protected in regard to religious matters and it was the state that did it. -- The fact of the three church bodies applying. to the various gov- erning bodies of the country shows that the churches recognize the right of the state to pass church legisia- tion. While the Watchman may favor church union, he cannot see that the church should dictate to the state what it should do. _ From booze to bank and from bank to booze is the history of thé occupation of the southwest corner of the city buildings. Piles of cases will take the place of piles of money. When excursionists see the O.T.A. sign at the corner of Market and On- tario streets, as they approach the steamboat landing place, the cap- tains of vessels will have to be wary lest their passengers rush for the wharf before the gang planks are put out.\ Perhaps the city council will de- cide to move its chambers next the government liquor corner so as to be in close contact with the "spirits." Can it be that the poison picked up by pet dogs the past week was in- tended for those rooster nuisances? An Ottawa clergyman has given a timely jolt to those people who condéemn the game of Mah Jongg because players may gamble on it.Re- solutions have been passed by var- ious bodies against the game, and it is safe to say that most of those voting do not know anything about the intensely interesting game of Mah Jongg. The Watchman knows of some Kingston men who used to gamble on the length of the sermon in a certaln church in this city. Twenty-five c2nts was the limit as to 'whether the sermon would' be over the half hour. But why discontinue preaching the gospel because some people will gamble over preachers and their sermons? i ---- New Train Bervite Service to Chicago. An announcement of unusual in- terest to all who have occasion to visit Chicago and cities farther west, has beén made by the managehent of Canadian National Railways. In addition to the already com- plete Canadian National - Rallways service operating from Toronto to Chicago, there will be inaugurated, on April 27th, = new obsetvation sleeping car service leaving Toronto daily at 11.45 p.m., arriving Chicago next day at 2.50 p.m., Central time. Bestdes providing a most conveni- ent leaving time, this new service is highly attractive in its time of ar- rival. By using it passengers bound for points west of the Illinois metro- polis will have ample time for busi- ness or pleasure . in Chicago, and still make all connections for west- ern points that same evening.
