It isiconspicuously noticeable that :j nearly every speaker addressing anl audience from"a public, platform has '1 lsomething to say about Democracy, The voice of. the people, he argues, `1 represents thedemocratic idea and the democratic idea is correct. Calm investigation, however, should con- ; vince any reasonable man that the!] ,voice of the people is seldom if ever 1 |representative of Democracy; fur-51 thermore, the voice _of the people is often far from right. `It may be re- , 1 presentative, but that does not make .. it right. The voice of the people is E. [defined as the wish of the `greaterj lnumber. If the greater number are incapable of thinking intelligently on a given subject, or not in a position ' to learn the truth of that subject, how can their expression be correct? _ As a matter of fact, is _it not true that themajority are always in the if procession of a group or a leader or leaders who have influenced them I-' his or their way of viewing a certain ` lsubject. `Go farther: if a faction, I la group" or a party are solidly in fa- 'vor of a certain measure, is that any 1' real" evidence that the measure is? right, or even to their advantage iul the long run, considering the effects` nits passage will have on the rest of 5 .

V ' I A committee of the Ontario Legis-i lature has been joy-riding over Ont- 'ario making` a so-called survey of the `hotel sit-uation and at last reports had `extended its tour into New York State. Chairman Watson and his fellow-members are having a pleasant holiday at the expense of the pro- .vince. Possibly they may be able to. `make some worth-while suggestions !for' the improvement of. hotels, but '.it s very doubtful if the results will `justify the expense. Referring to The Examiner s_ sug`- gestion that each hospital in the [county should receive an annual county grant of $1000, the Co1ling- wood-x. Bulletin says: We would go !further and make the grants straight grants. As it is at present,~the mun- I icipality that gets the ear of a War- den and has a patient enter a hospital loads on to the other municipalities :what it should rightfully pay itself. `To put it plainly, under the Hospital? :Act there is no such person as a coun-- ty patient. ` ` That people ever -get to the stage`. where they need no further educa-.l `tion is not the beliefofe the Coiling ' wood News; Most folk will agree. that if we would be potentially use- ful we must be constantly taking in, lit says. No man s education is ever inished; there is always something lelse of .value to be learned. The man `who stops learning dries up, whether twenty or forty-ve. Most sorry of I all, perhaps, is he who ceases alike" to receive and to give, who closes both the inlet and the outlet of the [lake of life. ' VI Wm. Wrigley, Jr., the millibnaire manufacturer of chewing gum who` annually spends hundreds of thous-! ands of dollars in advertising, was recently asked why he did not now rely upon the reputation established -for his famous brands of gum and save advertising expenses. He re- plied: My friend, if I were to stop advertising it` would be like taking the engine off a train. .It would slow down and after a little while stop. l Advertising is the locomotive of bus- iness, and if you don't have it bus-A iness comes to .a stop. V I It is an old freak in human nature, says the Brandon Sun, that people on ; a pleasure trip, with all the time in} the world, are trying to `cross a rail-; road track before the `train comesg `rather than -wait until it goes by-- and failing to make it. Rather than lose two. `or three minutes drivers} hurl themselves and their passengers| into eternity. There should, be no_: necessity to.te1l an automobile driver I to cross crossings cautiously; they: ought to have sense enough to do! that without being told. `mxmlpcls 8; au_.RoY; THE PERFECTTON or-3 EVERYHIKIND.
