* 50 YEARS EDITOR "OFTHE STATESHAN M. A. James Celebrates Half Century Anniversary in The Oshawa Times has a pleasant sk confronting it in congratulating r. M. A. James, editor, and now t owner, since the inception of his jail youngest sons into the firm, for fifty years of Oshawa's nearest week- newspaper The Bowmanville tatesman, - Lm in the Parish of Bradworthy, Devonshire, England, on'the 14th of anuary, 1849, Mr. James came with is parents to Canada when three years of age, the voyage from Ply- mouth to Port Darlington occupying nine weeks and three days, It was in the year 1878, after ten years as a school teacher and a previ- ous twenty vears engaged in the ex- acting toil of the farm, that Mr. ames decided to enter the Journal- istic field, purchasing the plant and goodwill of The Canadian Statesman at Bowmanville, as proprietor and editor, although without any previous experience in the business. With characteristic industry, Mr. James set about building up the cir- culation of his mewspaper and by sound business methods and equally sound editorials the budding young journalist doubled the circulation within the short space of two years, bringing the paper into the front ranks of weekly journals in Ontario. Besides writing the editorials for the Statesman, which Mr. James still enters into with his old-time enthus- iaasm, he was correspondent for To- ronto Dailies until recently, and was a regular contributor for Canadian and American journals, specializing educational and agricultural topics. The venerable editor whose Golden jubilee has been such a noteworthy event, not only in Bowmanville, but wwherever Mr. James is known, has always taken a keen interest in pub- lic affairs, He has been a justice of the peace, a member of the county council, Mayor of Bowmanville for two terms and frequently a member of the conferences of the former Methodist church, at present being an official of Trinity United church. In politics Mr. James is a Liberal and his views are always cagerly sought by members of both parties. Mr. James established what is con- sidered a record during his hali- century of newspaper work, by pur- chasing no less than seven local competitive newspapers, each in turn being amalgamated with the States- man. Three other Bowmanville rs ceased publication without A absorbed. The paper is still in capable hands being handled by Mr. James' two youngest sons, George and Norman. All the readers of the Times and everyone connected with this paper join in wishing Mr. James many more years of productive service with an esteemed journal. FALLS SIXTY FEET Fort William, Aug. 3M.

HEAR BOTH SIDES FIRST (New York Sun) To_ interpret the heroism of one individual in terms of censure of others requires familiarity with ail the circumstances surrounding the situation from which the contro- versy arises.

The Traders' Bank and the Union Bank have been ahsorbed by the Royal Bank, the Merchants Bank was taken over by the Bank of Mon- treal, and now, after doing busi- ness here for only a few months, the Standard Bank is to give place to the Bank of Commerce. As a result of these mergers the three largest banks in Canada have come into Orillia. But Orillia's first bank, the Dominion, still keeps its flag flying. ° NOT TRYING TO FLIRT (Letter In New.

I was zo pleased at the sight that I could not help looking ny admiration, while comparing her with several hedizened ones sitting to the right and left of her, I turned and saw other men with faces heaming their admiration, and T sincerely hope, if she sees this, that the lady will banish from her mind that we were trying to flirt with her, New York, ADMIRATION A GREAT CANADIAN (Ottawa Journal) If it be true, as reported from Quebec, that Sir Lomer Gouin has been offcred and has accepted, the Lieutenant Governorship of the Pro- vince of Quebec, then Canadians ir- respective of party or race will be pleased. For Sir Lomer Gouin has enjoyed in this country and deserved- ly so, a prestige and a respect and poplarity extending far beoynd the ounds of his own province, It is a prestige resting upon qualities of character of a very special kind. Sir Lomer has never had his horizons narrowed by provincialism, or by the boundaries of extreme racialism, A French-Canadian proud of his race and of its traditions, he has always perceived that one of the great tasks of Confederation was to harmonize the two great races which compose this country, and to that end he di- rected a fine intelligence and will. OIL-ENGINED SHIPS (London Engineering) British shipbuilding appears to motor-ship tonnage continues at a much more rapid rate than that of the steamship. In 1927 the per- centage ris in motorship tonnage was 22, while the steamship ton- nage decreased by 3 per cent. In De- cember, 1927, no less than 352 mo- tor ships were under comstructios. This represented a tonnage of 1,- 234,000 gross, or nearly twice that of the oil-engined 'vessels being built throughout the world a year before, ---- POLITICAL AUTOMOBILES (Detroit Saturday Night) John J. Raskob is now working for Al Smith and not for ibid tors. You may recall that when Raskob first took the political job there were more than whispers that 'G. M. had gone democratic and wet, and that there was to be a political lineup in the motor industry with our fellow townsman, Henry Ford, as the motorized apostle of the re- publicans and the drys. The General Motors is in the busi- ness of selling cars. It sells cars both in wet and in dry in republican and democratic territory. Its stock- holders and directors, many of whom are republicans and some of whom are drys are primarily in business of selling cars. It took a little time before the got the public reaction to. GM.'s supposed political debut. Shortly afterwards Mr. Raskob resigned to give his whole attention to the affairs of the democratic party. STABILITY IN CHINA (From the New York Sun) The willingness of the United States to enter into negotiations with the Chinese Nationalist Gov- ernment means that the State De- partment has at least lively hope that China has evolved a govern- ment which can speak with author- ity for that country, The settled THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1928 What Others Say policy of the United States has Chinees authorities whem such au- thorities could be found. The dif- ficulty for years has been the non- existence in China of a government competent to bind the republic, or. indeed, any considerable part of it, for any considerable time. That the United States has con- fidence in the safety of its na- tionals in China is proved by the reduction of the number of Marines stationed there. The erotective force would not be lessened if there were not reason to believe that its present strength is beyona the requirements of the situation. Historically the United States has stood for a China ruling its own land and offering equal op- portunities to the people of all other lands, and its present moves are in accord with its record. TO KNOW ONE'S DUTY (From the Kitchener Record) Sir James Charles, commodore of the famous Cunard Line, died the other day just after his ship the, Aquitania had docked at Southamp- ton, A He was to have retired at the con- clusion of that voyage having com- been to deal with the responsible |} pleted 50 years at sea. As the ship approached the British coast he felt ill; yet he stuck to his post until after 3 am. Then he retired to his cabin and collapsed, dying a short time later. That little story probably could be duplicated dozens of times. The law of the sea, unwritten but binding, is explicit. The master--the man to whom command is given must always think first of his ship. If dis- aster comes he must see every other soul safe in the boats and remain on duty as long as his legs can hold him, Sea captains submit to a discipline of which we know nothing.
