Premier Ferguson told his audience at Port Elgin the other day that he prefers the pro- vineisl sphere because there he can get closer to the people. Anyone who knows Mr, Fer. gusol will be quite certain that he meant what hes#id: The reply that came from his hearers hi ff "Then stay with them." They, too, meant it they said. The Prime Minister of Ontario is a great mixer--and he enjoys mixing, His most rabid political foes cannot help liking him personally, when' they make his acquaintance. He may make a mistake once in a while, as all human Beings do, but most people will agree that he does, hig' very best to carry out the wishes of the majority of the electors. The federal Conservative party needs to be rehabilitated, Both Liberals and Conserva- tives 'will agree on that. Canada needs two good, strong parties--no more and no less, The Conservative party needs a strong, per- ménént leader, but it should not be necessary to rob ont of the Provinces in order to get him; We have a feeling that G, Howard Ferguson will be the ultimate choice of the Winnipeg Convention in October, And we have an idea that. the call to go to Ottawa will be so Toud and 80. insisted that he will be compelled to respond to it. But many in both parties will be Bokry to see him go. There are in his present cabinet at least two men, either of whom woilld make an excellent prime minister for this Province, Both, however, are doing good work where they are and Mr, Ferguson's de- pafture for the larger sphere would weaken the' Government, By the way, is it not amusing that no To- rope politician has a chance of- securing the Conservative leadership in éither the federal or the 'provincial field? There are good men in Poronto--shoals of them; ;but the garru- lous, loquacious, and verbose political orators in that city completely ruin the chances of the more solid and substantial public servants. It is tough luck for deserving aspirants, The rain of alleged eloquence falls on the just and on the unjust in that metropolis and over- whelms both, ROAD TO SUCCESS RE y wry . In fhe attainment of solid, well-founded suc- cess there has been found a substitute for hon- est labour with the hands or mind. The ages have recognized this as an immutable truism, yet every age including the present, has had its skeptics, its unbelievers, its seekers fame and fortune without paying the prigedin work. »Bome sage has said that to attain success use half as much effort as you would exert in aS as to seek success without work. There sm wisdom in the axiom that it takes less . effort to climb to legitimate success then $e elimb to illegitimate success. Legitimate ment requires no fortifications, no pro- m. Illegitimate achiement demands more 'a gross injustice to humanity to say that re. is any one thing, more than another, very much of the attention, time of the people it is. in scheming and to get something of value for nothing. of society's parasites is large but Climider of honest, hard-working supporting } rs of society is preponderously larger.

They ri ean Ten, es done more, although they themselves are cons- cious that they had exerted theéir full power. Their vanity prompts thém to éxplain that they would have wrought more yaliantly aa they not been incurably lazy. Undoubtedly, some affect an air of indoléiice and appear to have no fixed éngageménts, for the express purpose of astonishing the world with their achievements and causing the qués- tion to be asked: how they possibly could find time to do so much. The sin is not in loving idleness, but in be- ing idle. As long as one keeps busy there is no harm in preferring to be idle. There may be such a thing as "inspired effort" but most human effort is forced, Great men, inherently lazy, must often force themselves to great works, The brave man is the w one whe conquers his fear. The industrious man is the one who con- quers his laziness, WHAT'S THE USE? When the radio first became available for use in people's homes the great desire of every radio owner was to be able to tell his friends what distant stations he had "got" on his instru- ment. The average radio fan had no use for near-by stations, even for Canadian stations; he wanted to "get" the far-away ones, in Flor- ida, California, or elsewhere. The programmes might be just as good, perhaps better, from broadcasting stations just a few miles away-- but it was distance people yearned for. Now that distance has been conquered, the radio has settled down, or the radio fans have, and' the radio is a pleasure-giving convenience, Just as distance was the desideration in the case of the radio, so with the automobile it is speed, Motoring has not settled down, The great majority of motorists use the automobile properly but some still have the craze for speed. The result is a long list of week-end fatalities. Stricter regulations will assuredly follow. The Government cannot look on while | citizens are killed and mained. Speed-crazy motorists must be punished, What's the use of '"'cutting in"? No use, What difference does it make whether a trip takes three hours or three hours and a half? Merely that the motorist may be able to tell his friends that he "did" such-and-such a dis- | tance in such-and-such a time, There have always been fish stories ; there used to be radio | stories; now there are motoring stories, A certain type of man likes to say that he was "hitting" fifty-five miles an hour; when he does that he is likely to hit somebody or something else, "Cutting in," speeding, glaring head-lights, just one light--these must be regulated out of | existence, And there must be protection for pedestrians, Hon. George 8S, Henry announces that the Government will pay thirty percent of the cost of building walks for pedestrians be- side motor highways. Municipalities should give heed to this suggestion, It is much cheaper to build sidewalks than to have pe- destrians killed. What's the use of hurrying? Time is not | so very valuable--not as valuable as human life. And what do the hurrying motorists do with the time they save by speeding and "cut- ting in." They merely use it to tell their | friends how fast they went. But their friends are not interested, EDITORIAL NOTES s---- The hand that rocks the cradle doesn't roll the cigarette.

This )erhaps is just as well, because it has the effect of warning others ihout the dangers of overweight. Now does the overweight cause the heart failure? Well, the excess weight is always 4 burden to pRhe system, It not only means that it has to be carried around, but the fatty tissue actually gets in between the organs, and also hetween the cells or fibres of the wgans themselves, thus interfering with their work. Thus you can see that if fat gets ibout the heart, and in between the strength of the heart's stroke wild be weakened. However, Dr. W. D. Reid of Bos- ton makes a suggestion regarding the relation of overweight to heart, disease and appeals at ouce ww our common sense. He points out that these over- weight people live on an ill balanc- ed diet, and live in an unhygenic manner also. That is, they eat two many meals, too much starehy stuff, sleep or lie around too mueh, ana take lttle, if any, exercise.
