Such a sum is totally inadequate compensation for the reflection east upon Canadian enterprise and the busi- ness acumen of our people, We are asked to believe that Canada has pttained national status; that it stands on a footing of equality with other countries, At the same time we are asked to countenance its own affairs. No time should be lost in counteracting the great disservice which has been done the cause of Canadian progress. ask why?

S. Landor, THE BELL HAS RUNG We think the public must have felt gen- eral gratification at the attitude of Counsel Shaver for the Liquor Control Board in the proceedings at Windsor, especially when he remarked dramatiavly that the bell had rung for the liquor exporters and that the al whole story of their manoeuvres must come out, Ever since the promulgation of a prohibi. tory law in the United States, which law is unquestionably in advance of public opinion generally speaking in that country, liquor in- terests in other countries and especially in Canada have applied themselves with much ingenuity to beating that law and great for. tunes have been made by smuggling liquor accordingly into the United States, There are, of course, persons amongst us who re. gard callously the use of our soil to violate grossly a law of a neighbor country, on the plea that it is no concern of ours to uphold another country's laws, which is quite right; but the actions which have been boldly car. ried on have had more or less the knowing co-operation of our customs and excise auth. orities, When in the "80's the United States allowed its soil to be used to drill Fenian ruf. fians to invade Canada, which they actually attempted, we were righteously indignant, The tables are turned now against the Uni. ted States, but the difference in strength be. tween us makes it a matter of concern to us, since chickens coming home to roost may become a serious matter internationally and in due course may give trouble to our new Washington ambassador, On national grounds, therefore, as well as moral, there is room for satisfaction at the Windsor trials, even if an incentive is to protect the Liquor Control Board's own busi- ness, which has been encroached upon by the so-called exporters, who, although aiming to beat the U8, law, have no compunctions about beating Ontario or Canadian law, These men are lawless even to the verge of violence, if they are not desperadoes, They are undesirables whose activities are no cre. dit to any country or community, 'It is interesting to speculate upon the re. sults if Hoover is elected President upon & platform of rigid enforcement of the U8, prohibitory law, It appears probable that whatever crimp has been put upon liquor smuggling through more active enforcement of late, it will be but a circumstance to what is likely to be done under Hoover's orders; and what then of the inflation of the beer and spirits business which has bee: going on in Ontario based upon smuggling profits? Will the stocks of various companies con. tinue to soar in the money markets, or will there be a rush to unload, to the squeezing of the credulous investor? Already the in- vestor has been widely exploited, and it may easily be that the chief artists have managed so that in case of disaster the unwary will in summing up be able to count as his chief asset a prodigious accession of experience against his outgo of cash, while the nimble manipulators have taken care of themselves, as is usually the case, From whatever point of view it is regard. ed, this liquor export chapter is not one for Canadians to be proud of, and the sooner "Finis" is written to it the better, It is not he that enters upon any career, or starts in any race, but he that runs well and perseveringly that gains the plaudits of others, or the approval of his own conscience, --Alexander Campbell, ITS ALL IN THE STATE OF MIND If you think you are beaten, you are; If you think you dare not, you don't; If you think you'd like to win, but you can't, It's almost a "cinch" you won't. If you think you'll lose, you've lost, For out in the world you'll find Success begins with a fellow's will-- You've got. to think high to rise; You've got to be sure of yourself You ever can win a prize.

Me and my shadow went up in the air again yesterday in the plane from Fiat, Michigan, and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Mr. Henkie, the pilot plane, is cer- nationality, he replied that his fa- ther was of German stock, his mo- ther was of French blood, and he was bora in Russa, o Which makes him an can? .

He sald he nearly landed on the golf links, but was saved from Jovi certain death hy the fact that there were a number of bunk: evs, which would have made landing most dimeult, "Flying is the safest means of transportation on earth" says Mr, Hinkle. Logical reasoning will impress you with that idea, Here's his argument: . -- . 0 "The 30th Century Limited, one of the world's fastedt trains running from Chicago to New York, takes 81 hours to make at a teryific speed, An a ne, travelling at » much greater speed, covers the distance in soem bowes. During the p by train, passengers ave exposed to dane geovs arising from broken rails, switches, ot cetern, as well as many, many complications in the locomotive and tain cars, These facts are coe mon property, An airplane has one motor, much faster geared, Theye is not half as much danger to the person riding due to the brea of wings or body, It fol s materiall;, then, that a person travelling on the 20th Century Limited Is expos. ed to them for seven hours, or only onethird of the time, with the odds much greater in the case of the tran, We must admit, that we have never had this proposition placed before us in this manner before, Mr. Henkle deserves a great deal of credit for the way he expresses himself in the defepse of aviation as the safest of tramsportation means.

By the thousands the actual number has been suppressed in order to help Mayor Thompson. It is not too much to say that he is the biggest crime of the lot and his suppression is also about due.
