audit bureau of circulations authorized as second class mail post office department ottawa issued every thursday at stouffville ontario in canada 200 in usa 260 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments a good remedy there is a good deal of meat in that little story of a jown in michigan about the five youngsters who were ar rested for a series of petty thefts these lads were ordered into court to answer for their crimes but just before they were to appear their parents asked the judge if they might talk to the boys first the judge agreed and the parents thereupon repaired to their respective basements and gave each young delinquent a good oldfashioned licking then the judge put all the boys on probation now you may deplore the old spare the rod and spoil the child maxim as much as you like in this case it seems to us everything was handled perfectly under or dinary circumstances these chaps would probably have gone to reform school and reform schools unfortunately are notorious for their failure to accomplish any reformation as it is they got just what they needed all of which of course simply indicates once more that an energetic and intelligent parent can do more for a delin quent boy than a court chatham news farewell to politics the right honourable w l mackenzie king cmg om made his last formal appearance in politics when he attended the liberal nomination meeting in his own con stituency of glengarry as was expected he declined the nomination no one present at that meeting in the small town of alexandria and few canadians across the land could have witnessed this last act of withdrawal from the canadian political scene without emotion he has been a figure in it for forty years for more than a quarter of a century he has been the chief one he retires from parlia ment and politics as our greatest living statesman and his tory may show him to have been among the great statesmen of his day now is the time to strike canadians have really been hounded with taxation since the last war and if the burden is to be lightened now is the time for the common people thats all of us to strike for a new deal with ottawa refuse to support any candidate who will not pledge himself to drastically cut taxes and that means to reduce a dozen forms of taxes such as the eight per cent tax on almost everything right out of existence before the war canada did not have that threatening spectacle down on torontos front street which acts as an army barracks for the dominion government the revenue office now it is there and the electors only protest that will be considered is his ballot on june 27 make sure where your candidate stands on taxation unfortunate decision although there is a growing public sympathy for the railway companies of canada in their need for new revenue and an adjustment in freight rates one step the companies have taken seems unpopular for years the two big railways have made a concession to exhibitors who want to enter animals in agricultural fair competitions such livestock has been carried at half rates this year the concession has not been made the development of livestock breeding increased in terest in the business on the part of present farmers and the young folk who are training for the day when they shall be the countrys farmers is something which railways might be expected to encourage from purely a selfish in terest the encouragement offered through the half rate would seem to be good business for the railways they are building up business for the future t roman catholic solidarity in an eastern ontario town last week canadas prime minister while on a political tour was accorded the use of a roman catholic church in which to hold a meeting and to give the prime minister that royal welcome the aged parish priest wished to have accorded to canadas first citi zen protestants who read the account in the daily star will probably ponder on the solidarity of the rc church such an incident occurring in any protestant church would be the subject of a church split and perhaps a demand for the resignation of the minister fact that canadas prime minister is a member of the roman catholic faith has made him solid among those of that persuasion but not even a protestant premier could or would be accorded the use of a church for holding a political meeting although they are used for many public gatherings while the body of a rc church is not permitted to be so used as we said at the outset protestants are constantly amazed at the oneness of their roman catholic friends when it comes to observing rules and orders of the church the voters lists in nearly every general election there are complaints about people having their names left off the voters lists that is due to the method of enumeration which is employ ed in compiling them the enumerators go from door to door taking the names and other particulars as they go but if they fail to find the householder or any member of the fam ily at home in spite of repeated calls the names of those in that home eligible to vote do not appear on the lists in the final analysis there is a responsibility on each citizen to see that his or her name is on the list there are several ways in which this can be ascertained the enum erators lists will be available at the committee rooms of the various candidates for each riding it is an easy matter for people to either telephone one of these committee rooms or call there to make sure if their names are on the lists names which are omitted can be added when the lists are revised by the revising officers and workers in the candi dates committee rooms will take care of that formality if they are asked to do so on the other hand the voter may appear in person before the revising officer to have his or her name added if voters themselves do not take steps to see that their names are on the lists and to have them placed there if omitted then they have only themselves to blame if they are refused the privilege of voting on election day this is the season to clean up and paint up business premises and private homes kept smartly painted add not only to their own preservation

buy blocks of tickets for plays hockey games boxing shows or anything else then hang around the doors about the time the show is to start and offer tickets at high prices to people who are willing to pay rather than be disappointed at not getting in this form of gouging the public is being investigated right now in new york where complaints were recently made that scalpers had demanded as much as eight times the price originally paid at the box office scalping however is nothing new a letter recently discovered was written by jenny lind the swedish nightingale to p t barnum the showman who brought- her to the united states in 1850 where she made her debut in what was recently the aquar ium and in that letter she not only asked him to make the tickets as cheap as possible so that poor peo ple might be able to buy them but she asked him to prevent specu lators taking advantage of the re duction if you can do so she added you will greatly oblige me it would not surprise us to learn
