Phone 143 The Orillia Packet urges that the citizens co-operate with the Horticul- tural Society towards securing sys- tematic street improvement. As it .is," says the Packet,`individuals are doing their part, but the effect is largely nullied because work is not general. This holds true in Barrie and nearly every other town inthe country. If residents on different streets could be brought into friendly rivalry as to who could have the neat- est lawns and boulevards and best kept premises, it would `stimulate ef- fort along the lines desired. rm: "LATE DANIEL QUINLAN Barrie and the County of Simcoe have suffered a great loss in the pass- ing of Daniel Quinlan, County Trees-. urer. He had been an outstanding gure in County and Town affairs for many years. Widely known and universally esteemed, his death has caused genuine sorrow` to a large number. __--_-1I-- `II- (\n:n`nn !I!lIB n Ch:-|non- ;{K0|VI l;V BI'o;:;:_v-N: iPhone 31W Oriilia council has been receiving $1600 annually as rent for the opera house. Not being satisfied, it adver- tised in the Toronto papers and re- ceived one tender for $5200. As a result the rental .has been raised to $250 a_ night, a prohibitive price for public and philanthropic meetings. The citizens are not at all pleased with an arrangement that practically deprives them of the use of their `municipal meeting place and are de-` mandingthat the lessee be given a contract that will enable him to rent the opera house at a reasonable price. In the draft of the proposed Fed- eral redistribution, according to the information received by The Exam- iner, it is suggestedthat the constit- uency of South Simcoe, with the ex- :ception of Barrie, should be joined `with Dufferin and the latter name re- tained; Barrie to be placed where it` formerly belonged, in North Simcoe, which would also have Medonte add- ed to it. A changeof thiskind would make" a big difference in the polit- ical complexion of North Simcoe. HUHIUUIR - Personally, Mr. Quinlan was a most likeable man. Kindly, cour- teous, obliging, even-tempered, fair` and broad-minded, he made, friends readily and held them by his many sterling qualities. Though he `held strong views on politics, and main- tained them rmly, he counted among his warm friends hundreds of people who `differed from him politically. ,. LL -______1_ Treasurer Quinlan was a thorough believer in the pay-as-you-go prin- ciple and the strong nancial posi- tion in which the Countyvis today `is in no small degree due to the wise advice given to the a successive county councils by Mr. Quinlan. Not only in nancial matters, but in all details of county administra- tion, the late treasurer was remark- ably well informed.

UL uus; vvun-ya. Willingness to serve was an out- standing characteristic of Mr. Quin- lan. Combined with this, he had the capacity for service in marked de- gree. The result was a` splendid con- tribution to`t_he community and an '-example of public-spirited citizenship that will not soon be forgotten. - ' Modern fashions have been blamed` for many things, but it remained for gthe Bracehridge Gazette to attribute Zthe plague of mosquitoes to the bare knees,Asilk stockings, low necks and `short sleeves seen on fair feminines. . The editor is moved to indignant pro- ;test. We old men still wear wool {socks and keep our bald heads _cov- lered, says he, .so why should we ihave-to suffer in the mosquito plague ;brought on by giddy women? Canada's per capita re loss last year was over thirty times greater than the average for the countries of Europe. And fully 75 per cent. of lour fires are said-to be preventible lwith the exercise of proper care. Some motorists have been noticed disregarding the silent policemen s instructions, Keep to the right. If the police who are not silent seethis sort; of thing, police `court cases are likely to follow. - - The Hon. Hovvard F`erg'uson s be- lated pronouncement in favor of .a rigid enforcement of the `O.T.A. ap- |parently" has satised such ""str`ong' t5mperance pewspapers as the Orillia Packet and the Pieton. Gazette. If it is. so accepted'bylthe`Atempera.ne Conservatives generally, it will have a very important bearing upon the vote. I The` Bowmanville News has been incorporated with the Canadian more paper thus being eliminated. Since M. A. James purchased the Statesman forty-Ve years ago, that paper-has absorbed six others. One would never suspect a mild-mannered man like Mr. James of having such `an appetite for swallowing his com- l petitors. | .

An educa- lionist writing in`-the Trenton Cour- ier-Advocate states there are over one thousand mistakes in this text- book -and points out, to the extent of ' more than two columnsfsixty-seven errors found in a single map. There an _be no possible excuse for these only to gross incompetence and care- lessness. IIUUUI Gllhy c To which the Woodstock Sentinel- Review replies: There is a good deal of nonsense talked aboutthe mould- ing of public opinion. The old parti- san method of moulding was to keep repeating, parrot-like, that one pol- itical party was made up of sages and patriots and the other of incom- petents and rascals. Long before Coue announced his famous formula for restoring hea1th--`-every day in every way,.etc.--the old party news- auto-suggestion--every day in every way our political party; is getting bet- ` ter and better , and our opponents worse and worse. The appeal was to prejudice and emotion, not to the reasoning powers of ' the readers. Indeed, the. idea seemed to/be that if certain stock phrases which had often become meaningless were re- peated often enough, there would be no opportunity for an appeal to rea_- - son. The result was that public op- inion instead of being moulded wa blue-moulded. . ' II 0 .1,,. LI, , ,1, l `paper was teaching a similar kind of uJ\AI~`AnIvIaA\I\u\lu The modern ideais that the people should be allowed to form their own opinion, and that the best service a newspaper can render is to furnish the facts, fairly and completely. without vbias-or prejudice. In the old days even the news columns were not free from political propaganda. The reader was never sure that he was reading a fair report of al pol- itical meeting. There was always the risk that the reports would be colored to suit the newspaper or the party with which: it was associated. Indeed, in regard to -politics, many of the old newspapers were not news papers at all in any honest sense of the word, but party organs. A pleasing example of the good relationship existing between the candidates. in Centre Simcoe was seen at the Barrie Kiwanis `Club _last Fri- day when the Liberal candidate in- troduced the Conservative nominee to the meeting. In so doing, Dr. Simpson said that he had just met Mr. Wright for the first time but he hoped -that no political differences would ever prevent them_ from being good friends. The same friendly at- titude one to another holds good with respect to Mr.` Murdoch. And this is as it should be. As good citizens all should seek the advancement of the best interests of the state, though it cannot be expected--nor is it. per- haps, to be desired--that all should agree as to the methods for achieving the desired end. Men and women. while holding opposite views on pol- itical questions, should be able to discuss them without rancour, and though they differ widely yet be will- ing to concede that the other fellow is just as honest in upholding his viewpoint. As a result. a good _deal of what passed for public opinion was no- thing more than heated party feel- ing. Telling;the people to vote for Smith and leave Jones at home is really not mouiding public opinion: it is simply an impertinence. The ' Moulding Opinion . Oshawa Reformer: The London Free Press regrets that many of the Western Ontario papers which were formerly powerful moulders of public opinion are not only independent in! politics but of_ a milk and :water neutrality. rn- _-.1.:..L 4.1.- u'r.....J...A.,.,.I. o....a.:..,.!` The editor` of -the Bracebridge Ga- zette. a former Liberal candidate in Muskoka, where politics are as hot as in-anv riding in Ontario, has been carrying a lot of 'for,v advertising` this election. When this fact was commented upon, -the editor replied: The_policy of the Gazette is to work for fairoelections rather than for- success by book or by crook of any one person or party. I think all cam- paigning should be done through newspapers. I do not think private canvassing` should be permitted either bycandidates or their agents.

JCV.-|, UL Vus uncuula All Lvvu-' Professor Wrong is, as has been indicated, `an author of repute in his chosen line of cwork. A History. of the British Nation was his rst con- siderable volume, which has since been added to by several works of distinctions. He is at present engag- ed on what will likely be his master- `piece of production, a History of Canada in four volumes. He .is a director of manycollegiate and phil- anthropic_ institutions and is a Sen- ator of his Alma Mater. He heads a strong staff in his University De- partment and is personally regarded as one of the foremost Canadian scholars of today in his chosen lines. In "addition to `these activities; the Professor is an active member of several historical societies "and is. moreover, a popular University `ex- tension lecturer along the 3 lines of history and kindred subjects. H an no Luvs auu axczu .u|u1ual._y lCdLlCl- The fateful day of Sept. 13, 1759, dawned without Montcalm realizing what its hours were destined to hold.` -Little did he dream that Wolfe had succeeded in climbing the steep hill that" led to the Plains_of' Abraham, and when Montcalm was told that the enemy was literally at his gate. his hourof destiny and death had; struck. The story of the battle needs not re-telling in detail. The struggle only lasted for a few moments, but during that time France lost and Britain gained an empire. Mont- calm led his forces with the same degree of gallantry that Wolfe -did, but fate had death in store for both of them. The French leader was a target for a bullet that found its mark as he galloped up and down his lines vainly trying to reform them. How long have I to live? he asked` his surgeon as he fell. Twelve. hours. So much the better, re- plied the dying man, for I shall not live to see the surrender of the cit- . adel.. Thus both the commanders| had played their parts by the time, the actual transfer of the citadel took place a few days after the bat- _ tle. Montcalm s body was taken to a house in the city, and afterwards his remains were lowered in a holy; made n the'oor of the Ursuline Con-' vent by a bursting shell, and his skull, _ carefully-preserved in a` glass ca ..* is still shown tovisitors by the_ S__' , ters. Over the chapel is the inscrip- tion, Honor to Montcalm. Fate, in ,1 depriving him of victory, "rewarded" him by a glorious death, while the `i monument to both Wolfe and Mont- i calm, facing the Terrace, further commemorates the fallen French leader.
