Editor EDITURIAL NOTfiS ARTEMESIA COUNCIL OSPREY COUNCIL "If people told everything they thought, wHiildn't this be an excitinj; world," says the Shelburne Econom- ist. There are people who take a pride in .saying what they think, even when it hurts 'other pe()i)k' unecess- arily. They make their boast about always speakinp: their mind, but it is a poor boast, a poor policy and usually a poor mind. It i.s quite easy to tell another how to carry liis pack, but you cannot weiifh the burden of another until it is on you own back. Docs any one know of a man who gave a contract for the buildinp of a house and had it completed in the specified time? This is the season of the year When all of us ouRht to hear in him that be he ever so humble there is no place like home. Unfortunatly, too many of tlie risiiij; generation n-f continually on the hunt for a subst'- tute. But there is none. In bygone days the late J. ^^ . Anr.- strong J.

Blakejy of H^rriston,' formerly of Flesherton. One of thj oldest and most highly esteemed residents of Harriston, pass ed away in Harriston on Thursday, December 3id, 1925, in the person of Mrs. M. J. C imming8,(Margaret Jane McMahan) in her seventy-second year. Her illness was very brief, she having been apparently in the best of hetili.'h up t ) a few days before her death. The late ' Irs. Cummings was born in the Towi. ihip of Bentick, Mary 29, 1854. She i ame to Harriston while a young woman, vhere she riarried ihe late James Cummings, who predeceas- ed her thirty one years age.

In 192'.', 9500 persons were killed in crime!; of violence. In 1923; 10,000 persons were killed. In 1924, 11,000. And it is believed thai the homicides u. the adjoining republic will be e\en greater in the year drawing to a close. The record is indeed shocking, and it is rendered doubly so b.v the fact thai comparatively few of I he- criminals are brought to trial, while those who are tried and convicted very often, by vexatious delays jn carrying out the decisions of the Courts and other means too often manage to escape punishment. Not more law.s, but the speedy, determin- ed carrying out of those on the sta- tute book is what our neigrhbors need. badly.

For memory's golden chain We are within the next few day.t to have the annual election con_tests in the various municipalities. Be- tween times thfjfe are criticisms of our representatives, sometimes not very complimentary, but the average taxpayer has himself to blame when there Is misgovernment. Very often the worst grumblers are those who do not take the trouble to gn to the polls. .Such a one has no right to criticise reeves or councillors. The least a ratpayer can do is to re- cord his or her vote for the best men offering, and thereby aid in promot- ing the common welfare. Only faithfulness in this regard can tax- payers hope to "nsurc good manage- ment and prudent expenditure of the monies levied.
