There's many a. slip between the estimated vote and the count in the ballot -boxes. Some people blame the result of the vote in Manitoba on the foreigners. VVe11, who is to bleaxne [for the foreigners voting as they undoulbtedly did? The first im- pression in Canada 04f many of the foreigners was booze and elections, and now they voted for what they were rst taught to appreciate. You may fool some of the people all the time, and you may -frool all the people some of the time, `but you can't fool all the people aJ1 the time. One consolation about the longer skirts, remzwked a lady the other day, is that the mosquitos won't have such an easv tinnle of it this The big vote polled on Monday was in a large measure due to the enthusiasm of the ladies. When the ladies get going there is no falling down on the job. uuy, 1: um. have such an v~n vn nu Union carried at the General As- sembly meeting of the Presbyterian church by a vote of 3 1-3 to 1, but according to the antis the vote of `the .\ssemil)ly is only the prelimin- ary skirmish, as the real "battle for the preservation of the Presbyterian church will be fought out in Parlia- ment, in the Legislature and Courts, nvhere the minorities will nd a chance of making themselves heard. The negotiations have extended over a period of twenty years and it may yet be years before union" is .fully consummated. Mr. Drury admitted that defeat was not a pleasant thing, but that he had the satisfaction of having conducted a c1ea;n,vfair nl3:.tion campaign. His defeat he attri|mte.l to the wet vote. The wets ll] the Province, he believed, constituted a sufficiently strong element to elect any one party with which tl`-ey aliged themselves. .\Ir. DI`1ll`_\ lzas fully decided to retire from the political arena. Phone 616. - Po: Laundry called for and delivered The U.F.O. Government fell be- cause the farmers and the workers turned against it. Instead of the political reforms that had been as- sured, new burdens and new grievances had to be accepted. As they look back over the record of the past four years the hz1rd-rwo1`k- ing t'21rmers of Ontario cannot but deeply blame themselves for putting faith in the programme that w_a.s given. Of those who did support the idea, the greatest number are now -back to their old belief in democratic government without dis- t_inction of class. The U.F.O. is down and out as a `political party in Ontario. That the U.F.O. made a mistake when they entered the p.o1itica.l eld is appar- ent to all. The farmers are en- titled to a. just representation in the Legislature and we think they will have it in the new Legislature that will shortly take hold. The farm- ers are also entitled to their,or- ganizations and they can do much for their mutual benet by such or- ganizations, but any one class of citizens can-not legislate for all the classes. To have :1. Sta le Govern- ment we must have two parties only, a party with a. clear majority and a. strong opposition. l i l l l 1 r l I D D 1 protected MOTOR :`((`/(-`lDEA\"l~i C.\REI.E:~`a:s`.\'ESs In most cases, accidents to motors at highway crossin:.,'s over railways are due to the negligence of those driving: cars. This negligence is to be found both at protected and un- crossings. The Grand Trunk lines from October, 1922, to AND *.\La',`~1023, show 54 cases where there` was danger at protected crossings due to the negligence of those using the crossings. All but four or these cases were due to the carelessness of motor drivers. Not- withstanding safety devices and cautionary signals, people take chances and `disregard safety rules. Motor accidents are `becoming more frequent every year. .~mnong the cases cited by the Grand Trunk is the Essa St. crossing at Allandale, v where accidents are caused by per- ~sons riding bicycles, if gates are down, will lift them up and cross tracks. Automobiles as soon as they see gates being lowered will put on speed and try to get `by before they come down.

The people of Manitoba have decided that Government sale of liquor for consumption in residences of householders of permits is pre- ferable to prohibition. It must not be assumed that all those who voted against the prohibition measure are boozers, as many who voted for government control are opposed to liquor in any shape or form. The experience in Manitoba has been that there was `not prohibition`; liquor of the worst kind was manu- factured and peddled almost open- ly `in every district; bootleggers ourished and prospered and there was little or no respect for the law. The result was that `public opinion was turned against the Temperance Act.
