history had greater cause for gratitude to our heavenly father a year ago when we were carncstlycndcavoring to givo sincere thanks to the almighty tor his manifold mercies it was with the black cloud of war oppressing us our sons wcro in tho conjhct they were falling wounded and dying on tho battlefield our hearts wcro oppressed with the uncertainty of the outcome all of lifos activi ties were at tho highest tension today the cruel war is over hundreds of thousands of tur soldier sons and heroes have returned home and are again engaged in the pursuits of civil life the conditions of national life arc gradually being brought back to tho normal again venly we have unusual cause for thanksgiving to god on this occasion gratitude is n virtue of the highest typo and should be culti vated assidiously it engenders a deep and lively sense of benefits received an ardent love to tl benefactor an effort to make all possible returns to the donor in expressing our thankfulness and a determined resolution to exercise gratitude at all times and in practical manifestations on this com ing thanksgiving day our homes will naturally be happier because of tho returned members from overseas and in the happy reunions and visitations which are associated with the observance of our national- thanksgiving day may we all have the truly thankful spirit and remember what we owe to the creator and ruler of all thing for the benefits and blessings which surround us the strenuous life of president wilson of tb united states tho past two years or so and especially the past year has resulted in serious jnronds upon his health hs is regarded as n very sick moti specialists have decided that it is absolutely neces sary that the president should detach himself from public business for tho time being and give himself up to rest tho announcement to that effect is taken in washington to mean that his condition is grave the president was blessed with a good constitution and his health was generally excellent but these facts give no assurance that his present illness is not serious men of great physical vigor who arc never prevented by sickness from doing a hard days work sometimes keep the engine wovicinjat high pressure too long and make a hopeless wreck of the human machine jt is hoped however that the rest- prescribed will result in compioto restoration for the president editorial the american brewers review takes a different view of personal liberty than some who talk loudly respecting it in this country it says the so- called personal liberty argument in behalf of alco holic drink loses its force consideration of tho public welfare continues to grow and overshadows tho right of the individual the drink question must be fought out upon tho ultimate foundation of moral hygiene and social order in other words the public welfare if the public welfare requires the suppres sion of the alcoholic drmk traffic it should be sup pressed as the day for nomination approaches new candi dates are from day to day being put in the field throughout tho province the united farmers of ontario propose to contest somo sixtyfive consti tuencies at the forthcoming provincial election they have already sixtythree nfen in the field in addi tion the agricultural organization is cooperating with labor in several essentially urban ridings such is the summary of the statement supplied the other day at the offices of the new political party tho effect of this large number of new men of a new party coming into the hundred and eleven legislative con stituencies in ontario is of a character which political computers in the old parties would like to determine it is the unknown quantity of a confusion campaign but the 20thihst will give the solution- organized labor throughout the world raises a protest against that arch enemy of tho workingman mid liquor traffic labor unions everywhere arc de claring the beneficial results of prohibition in on tario tho past three years hon g d robertson minister of labor in the dominion cabinet declared the prohibition legislation enacted first by our provincial and strengthened and confirmed later by our federal government has in my judgment great ly increased the efficiency of our canadian workmen a well as their sobriety and has brought untold happiness and comfort to their wives and dependent children that the economical and safe operation of our public utilities has been greatly enhanced and that it is the experience of our business men that the general commercial prosperity has greatly im proved all of which has a tendency to increase national prosperity and contribute to human happi ness the globe believes that dissolution of the union government and an appeal to the country would have been premature had it occurred before the return to canada of the overseas forces tho public would have regarded the holding of a general election in ifroearty summer of 1020 as a reasonable compliance with sio understanding arrived at when ut when tho coalition negotiations wcro under way the post ponement of an election till 1022 after the census results of 1021 are known cannot be considered as anything but a distinct breach of faith it means that the borden government plus a liberalunionist infusion of blood will have been able to hold power in canada for eleven vcars without onco submitting itself to tho ordeal of an election wfn normal party lines tho election of 1017 might have had a very different result had tho voters on that occasion been told that the purpose of the premier and bis col leagues was not merely the winning of the war but the creation of u new party seeking to build its for- ttrhes upoq tho destruction of tho historio liberal party or canada from which in tho past baa come most of the progressive legislation embodied in tho statutes and from which m the future leadership in the development of the democratic form of govern ment it moat likely to coroo many patriotic cana dian who were proud to cair thomaelvfc llberaj- unionists in joi7 will refuaeofohtiw the leaders now into the conservative camp toronto globe an amendment to the criminal code places criminal responsibility upon those whose carelessness or negligence results in fires andr destruction of pro perty as shown in the following enactment his majesty by and with the advice and consept of the senate and house of commons of canada enacts as follows 1 section five hundred and fifteen of the criminal code is amended by inserting tho following subsection immediately before subsection two there of la every one is jqltyty of an indictable offence and liable to two years imprisonment who by negli gence causes any fire which occasions loss of life or loss of property the person owning occupying or controlling tho premises in which such a fire oc curs or on which such fire originates shall be deemed to have caused the fire through negligence if such person has failed to obey the requirements of any law intended to prevent fires or which requires apparatus for tho extinguishment of fires or to facilitate up escape of persons in ihe event of fires if the jury finds that such fire or the loss of life or the whole or any substantial portion of the loss of property would not have occurred if such law had- been com plied with the oldtime prophets are completely at sea over the political situation in halton mr ford tho u f o candidate is conducting a vigorous campaign and naturally is appealing more especially to the farmers for support and will probably draw rom both sides of former straight liberals and conservatives but will get but few votes in towns and villages and his election will depend altogether on the rural vote should it fail to elect him it is more than likely that that would be the end of tho movement in halton to bring out farmers candidates for parliamentary hon- ors as the mutual distrust engendered by the defeat offho candidate would bo fatal to the whole scheme of a purely rural representation mr cleaver the straight liberal candidate la also an outandout temperance man andthe referendum vote being taken on the same day as tho election should natur ally help his chances he is also in close touch with the farming interests and has as good an idea of their needs as tho average man on the farm being born and brought up on a farm he knows what farm life is their interests therefore would bo perfectly safe in bis hands dr nixon is again tho conservative candidate as expected and will probably poll the full party vote in the urban centres and those in the rural parts who do not favor mr fords candidature so its going to be anybodys election until the bal lots are counted on the night of october 20 milton reformer acton istionorcd today in having in session here in their annual convention the teachers of the in spectorate of halton and wentworth no body of men and women with more important and arduous duties and functions will visit our town this year the education of our children and young people is a great matter and it affects and influences their whole future life education does three things for all who comb under the training of the competent teacher it stores up knowledge in the mind it develops the powers of the mind it puts the pupil gradually into possession of these powers the degreo therefore in which the pupil is educated is a measure of his use fulness and success jn after life education is tho most enduring kind of property to acquire a pro perty of mind and heart which no disaster can wreck or ruin in the schools companionships are formed and friendships established which if properly super vised and directed by wise and observant teachers enrich the scholar for all time the heart needs a trained mind therefore the work of thoteacher is important indeed if- there were more general co operation and encouragement on the part of the home with the efforts of tho teacher results would a vastly more sajutary progress mofc marked and ithe relationships of teacher pupil and home more cordial and intelligent increasingly insistent also is the demand that tho schools of this dominion teach citizenship that they equip tho child to do tho full duty of a good citizen it is not yorgotten that the schools have for generations done excellent work but the experience of the last four years has brought the realization that a change fn method and in sub jectmatter a shifting of emphasis is urgently re quired a young man may be an expert in arith metic in spelling in writing grammar geography and every other subject on the curriculum and may none tho less display qualities of wastefulness and disloyalty an altered typo of

acton ont the expenditure of 610000000 how the last victory loan was spent for demobilization tefore buying victory bonds again you may want to know how canada used the money you loaned her last year canada borrowed the money to carry on the war and to pro vide credits for great britain and our allies considerably more than onehalf ol the victory loan 1918 was spent on our soldiers this included 312900000 for paying them feeding them bringing them home separation allowances to their dependents maintejiance of medical services and vocational training schools 59000000 of the victory loan 1918 was paid on account of authorized soldiers gratuities 9000000 was spent at halifax for relief and reconstruction after the disaster other disbursements were not strictly speaking tures but national reinvestments expendi- for trade extension to great britain for example 173500000 was loaned for the purchase of our wheat and cereals 9000000 for our fish 30000000 for other foodstuffs 2900000 for canadian built ships 5500000 to pay other british obligations in caiada making in all 220900000 advanced lo great britain to our allies we loaned 8200000 for the purchase of canadian foodstuffs raw material and manufactured products the reinvestments will be paid back to canada in due time with interest these credits were absolutely necessary to secure the orders for canada because cash purchases were impossible they have had the effect of tremendously helping agricul tural andjndustrial workers to tide over the depression that would have followed the armistice had we not made these credit loans as far as money is concerned 1919 has been and is stilt just as much a war year as 1918 our main expenditures for war cannot be completed until well on into 1920 thus another victory loan
