A monument to Robert Burns in Oshawa would be more than an incentive, as Dr, Kaiser suggests, to wider reading of the bard's noble works, It would also be a monument to dem- ocracy, The democracy of Burns was as loyal as it was contemptous of rank that, like "the guin- eglgmtamp", derived its importance only from } 60 of human nonenity upon which it was sed, : TRUSTEES NOT SHYLOCKS (While the trustees of the Oshawa Board of tion are seeking to obtain higher fees Om the counties concerned for out-of-town Is being educated at the Collegiate In- st¥tute, ample evidence was produced from an- offer incident of the Monday, evening meeting it the Oshawa schoo! board does not do busi- 88 on the "pound of flesh" basis, #8 contractor made a mistake in his tender fi ork on ope of the city's school additions igh, on checking over after the tender was ted, he found would leave him at least a sand dollars out of pocket, his credit. he went ahead with his work eft it to the trustees to adjust the matter, | they did Monday night by adding some teen hundred dollars to his tender, but whieh still left him doing the work for some- t around three hundred dollars less than t xt lowest tender, one loses by this transaction, and the Oshawa Board is to be commended for its at- titude in the matter.

There is no law against the ability to paint investments by well-worded speeches in Where a chance element, of course, the wary beware, and then it ig that capital must be found among those whe are not looking for a gamble when an inves is to be made, + With se many investments in Oshawa, or at least with the opportunity for such great in- vestments, it is passing strange that there are not more of them taken advantage of, Surely it is not necessary to go to look for investors and say to them that Oshawa needs capital and-ability to take care of its real needs, Why not a little more recognition by the public of the city of the opportunities? Instead of 'sending money away to develop other cities keep it at home, NORTH HURON RESULT Monday's by-election in the riding of North: Huron, results in a victory for the Con- servative Party whose standard bearer, George Spotton, was elected by a majority of approxi- mately. 200 over his Liberal opponent, Archie Hislop, The campaign was a hectic one and the result was in doubt until the last returns were in. Conservative journals make much of the vic- tory because of the formidable array of Fed- eral cabinet ministers who stumped the riding in behalf of Mx, Hislop, Some also charge that a large "corruption" fund was available in his behalf, A study of the vote reveals a fact that is of interest to all shades of political thought, which is that the victorious candidate does not represent the majority of his riding's electors, While the Progressive candidate piled up only # modest 2,726 votes, he did not lose his de- posit, The election shows that three party senti- ment is by 'no means dead in Ontario, especi- ally in the rural, districts, and despite Hon, E. C. Drury's dramatic return to old line Liberal- ism, That sentiment may stand for many things: but one of them is a belief held by many of Ontario's most idealistic citizens that both of the regular parties are lacking in sin- cerity and political morality, On the other hand, the diminishing totals of Progressive vo i i gr te cast in recent elections in- {Som A If, however, the muscles of the ||| dicates that Canada is fundamentally commit- ted to two-party government, It is typical of the British mind that such is the case, Third parties do not survive long, but history shows that they have, at various times, rendered good service by hastening reforms that the older parties hesitated to touch until forced to it by outside pressure, EDITORIAL NOTES Hard work beats finding a four-leaf clover as a sign of good luck. Who can remember when the peroxide blonde | was about the most dangerous menace to hus- bands? : Another thing strengthening some folk's be- lief in a merciful providence is a woman driy- ing a car, d It is suspected that some women distrust their intuition when they consider the husbands they picked, Still, a lot of contentment in the world is merely the frame of mind of the man who says, "What's the use?" In spring, according to an advertisment, woman's fancy turns to clothes. Not to men- tion summer, autumn and winter. Just to demonstrate how busy we have been with stern reality, it can be cited that a year Aas passed and failed to bring out a single new breakfast food. A paragrapher wants to know what one can do with used safety razor blades. Well, he can cut jokes out of a newspaper if he's that kind of a paragrapher. | Bit of Yerse IS YES a JANE P| .

These movements amused neighbors, but he explained to those near him that he wanted to see he didn't keep his blood moving. What about this matter of stand- ing in one position for any length of time? i to the ground, It is for this reason that a wateh- ful officer when the inspecting of- ficer is not near at hand, will give the command "stand easy." the men will relax their hodies, and shift about on their feet. | while quiet { work than sitting or lying, never; theless the inactivity of the muscles | that the upper part of | brain, do not get a sufficient quan- | tity of purified blood, What happens when we stand too long in one position?

WHAT OTHERS SAY PROFITS FROM LIQUOR (Vancouver Sun) Whatever may he the moral value { of moderation in British Columbia, the ezonomic value of the liquor sale sys- tem is obvious in the announcement that the city of Vancouver will receive §142809 as its share of liquor profits for the past six months. The difference between the liquor | situation in the United States and the {liquor situation in British Columbia is that in the United States liquor pro- fits go to bootleggers for their own purposes, while in British Columbia those profits go to the cities for use- ful civic purposes. If drinking is going to be done, and money is going to be spent for liquor, it is better that the receipts be put to legitimate use thar iw be employed to perpetuate lawlessness. A REAL SERMON FROM LINDBERGH (From the Minneapolis Journal) There was a sermon for chance takers in the Lindbergh homecoming to Minneapolis. The man who preach- ed it is none other than Colonel Lind- bergh himself--the man that braved the fog and sleet of the Atlantic, a- Jone. And when you think of it, who better could utter such a sermon? In Grranging the details of the young birdman's journey from the Wold- Chamberlin field through Minneapolis to the St. Paul boundary, it was necessary to tame the parade closely in advance in an cffort to keep on schedule. In order that the thousands along the route might have better op- portunity to sec the famous guest, it was planned to rush hun from the field to the starting point of the par- ade at high speed--sixty miles aun hour--and thus enable a slow rate through the city. But Colonel Lindbergh himself ve- toed the plan. He would not ride in an automobile at any such speed Thirty-five miles an hour was his limit in a car, he made it known. He would take no chances. And that set- tled it. What a rebuke that is for those who drive their cars at breakneck speed! Thousads of men, in Minue- sota and the country over, who would vehemently declare themselves against "taking chances as Lindbergh does," will wrongheadedly go out, the next moment, and boastfully speed their cars over the roads, with constant peril gress in a large city. a parade that hig toes, first on the right, then on Sometimes when he got a little his the parade, and he might faint if Any military man will tell you || that if a number of men are stand- |} ing at "attention" for a long per- |} ind, that some will faint and drop || 'stand at ease," or (| THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1927 g§ =! 7% i CENTRAL CANADA N hae.

There are few cities where there are not opportunities ever at hand for the investor, op- portunities where there is far less uncertainty than those offered in other places. When those opportunities loom so large that they may com- pare with the description of the investment offered by the salesman from another city, there are in nine hundred and ninety instances out of a thousand, local investors who are ready and willing to finance it.
