OSHAWA, TUESDAY, JUNE 13, 1922 pe MAKING MR. SPEAKER PER- MANENT OFFICIAL Reports from Queen's Park indi- r cate that the Government is con- sidering the advisability of appoint- ing Mr. Nelson Parliament, M.P.P. as permanent Speaker of the Ont- ario Legislature. In so doing the Government would he following the precedent of the Mother of Parlia- ments, where the Speaker practical- ly [remains unchanged no matter what party may for the time be in office. The object of having a permanent Speaker is to avoid the playing pol- itics with a position of which one of the first requirements is absolute fairness. That Mr. Parliament is adjudged to have this quality is the highest compliment that can be paid him by his fellow-members of the Legislature. The present Speaker was elected a8 a Liberal for Prince Edward at the last Provincial election. How- ever, being a farmer he was not op- posed by the U. F. O. of that riding, s0 that when he came to Toronto, been . objectionable weeks, 80 in recent Toronto had another street car tie-up late Saturday night hecause of the electrical storm cutting off the power supply.

Larger educational grants than any previous year are to be pro- vided for, while the ever increasing | debenture debt, due to the excessive roads and bridges program now be- ing carried out annually, greater in- terest charges have to he met, A new item in the hudget this year is $5,000 to provide for Mothers' Allow- having had previous experience as a member of the last Legislature, he was looked upon as a suitable man for the Speakership, This view was taken by the Drury Government more particularly because they lack- ed a majority in the House, and they had no members outside the Cabinet who had any parliamentary exper- fence, So it was that Mr. Parliament was honored with the position. The wark of the Speaker in the present Legislature has been more strenuous and exacting than ever before in the history of the provine- fal parliament. Not only has each session set up a new reeord as the longest in the history of the pro-| vince, but with three parties there has been more bitterness injected in- to the debates than has existed here- tofore. Although appointed by the ' Legislature, the Speaker is virtually named by the Government. fact, however, has not made any dif- ference to Mr. Parliament in carry- ing out his duties. He has not hesi- tated to give decisions against mem- bers of the Government; nor has he shown partiality to members of his old political love, the Liberal party. While Mr. Parliament was a far- mer, and, had no special academic qualifications for the position of presiding officer in the Legislative Assembly, he applied himself to the task, became thoroughly familiar with precedents and the authorities on parliamentary procedure. This, coupled with his quality of fairness, has made him respected by all sec- tions of the House. His appointment permanently, it is believed, would meet with aproval of nearly every member of the House. THE ELECTORS' VERDICT The result of Saturday's voting did not come as a surprise to most people, although it was undoubtedly learned with regret by many persons, unfortunately, we believe, in the min- ority, who desired to see Oshawa made a cleaner place in which to live. So little was known of the by- laws, and such, slight interest was taken in them, that the vote was, as predicted, small. ' Defeat of the street flusher by-law, as well as the by-law to enable the old Pedlar property to be cleaned up, does not mean this expense will not have to be incurred sometime. Oshawa cannot continue always us- ing the present method of cleaning its streets, because it is not as sat- isfactory as would be the case with proper equipment, and it is more costly than is necessary. Nor can the $50,000 Pedlar property be allowed to remain forever the eye sore which it is at present, so that while the by-laws were defeated, the expenditures have oniy been delayed. Rejection of daylight saving by a large majority will likely mean that | there will be no further effort to introduce summer time to Oshawa, uniess there is a provincial or Domin- jon measure providing for moving the clocks forward. That is undeniably the more satisfactory way, causing practically no inconvenience. EDITORIAL COMMENT It's an fll-wind that blows nobody good.

Organ Recital Much Enjoyed Monday Evening The organ recital given in Simcoe Street Methodist Church last evening was entirely successful and the pro- gram was one which had been select- ed with great care. The most pleas- ing numbers of the evening were those given by Miss IL. Gosse, A.T. CM. of Bishop Bethune College, whose work at the organ was fully appreciated by the audience. Mr. M. M. Stevenson, choirmaster and organist, was the conductor for the evening and he more than equal- led his former efforts in producing a musical entertainment of a high or- der. Those who assisted in the pro- gram were, Mrs. Ina Tod Gray, Mrs. Roy Bennett, Miss Maud Salmon and the Symphony Quartette, composed of Miss Jean Keddie, Mrs. T. E. East, Mr. T. E. East and Mr. Robertson. The choir rendered several numbers which were well received. The large organ, which has just been overhauled and a mew trumpet stop installed, was in perfect condition and the tone ad- ded greatly to the effectiveness in pre- senting the various numbers.

Garis.) '"Rat-a-tat-tat!"" came a knock at the door of the hollow stump bunga- low where Uncle Wiggily lived. "Goodness! Who can that be in all the rain?" asked Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, from where she was sewing in.a 'rocking chair. It surely was raining in Woodland, near the Or- ange Ice Mountain. "Well, I don't believe it is the Pipsisewah or Skeezicks," remarked Uncle Wiggily, as he laid aside the cabbage leaf newspaper he had heen reading, and went to the door. "They would hardly come out in this storm." "So much the better," Nurse Jane said. And when the bunny gentleman opened the door there stood Johnnie and Billie Bushytail, the squirrel boys, in coats made from leaves of the rubber plant, which kept them quite dry. "Oh, Uncle Wiggily!" chattered Johnnie. © "Will you come out and | play with us?" '"We haven't any school," went on Billie. "There's a leak in the roof | and the lady mouse teacher sent us| all home. We want to have some | fun!" | "The idea, hoys!" exclaimed Nurse | Jane. "Uncle Wiggily can't come out | and play with you in the rain! His| rheumatism will hurt!" "I guess it wouldn't, if I put on my rubber plant raincoat," said the| old rabbit gentleman. "I'll come out with you squirrel chaps, I was just] wondering what I could do for an adventure." | "Oh, such a rabbit! Such a rabhit" sighed Nurse Jane, holding up her paws, "What can you do in the rain, I'd like to know?" "I'll make the hoys a water wheel," said Uncle Wiggily. "The brook that runs into the duck pond ocean is high now on account of the rain. Down by Grandpa Gossey"s pen the water falls over the rocks. I'll make a water wheel and set it there. The squirrel boys can help me make the water wheel. It will do them good." "What in the worid good a toy water wheel will be I can't see!" said Nurse Jane, sniffy like and in- credulous. Maybe it will be some spoke Billie, hopefully. good," 80 Uncle Wiggily put on his rub- ber plant coat and went the squirrel boys, taking wooden shingles with him. | It was raining hard, and the water | in the brook was foaming along until | it reached the place of the rocks. | There it fell over, making a water-| fall, and, as you know, a waterfall | will turn a mill wheel, or a water | wheel, | tincle Wiggily sat down under al tree, "where it didn't rain quite 80 | hard and with Nurse Jane's old pot- | ato knife he started to make a water | wheel for the squirrel hoys. The | bunny cut four broad paddles from | wooden shingles, and fitted them to-| gether. Then he fastencd this wheel in a sort of frame and stuck it in among the rocks, so the wheel came under the falling cascade of water, | And as the water hit the paddles | of the wheel it turned it around and | around as fast as anything, Ifke the | merry-go-round you know, only the | water wheel whizzed around up and | down like the hands of the clock when they race with each other, { "Now there's your water wheel, | hoys," said Uncle Wiggily 2s he set | it in place. "You can play with it] while I go to see Grandpa Gossey." | And you ean imagine how sad Uncle Wiggily was when he found the old gentleman goose in bed with a fever, "Oh, I'm so hot and warm" quack- | ed Grandpa Goosey. "I wish I could feel a nice, eccol hreeoze!" i "Haven't you an etectric fan?" asked Uncle Wiggily. "Yes, I have," answered Grandpa Goosey, "but it is broken. I guess all the electricity has run out. The fan is there, but it won't go around." "Hum! Let me it," said the bunny gentleman. And when he had looked at it he gave a jump and said: "The squirrel hoys water wheel! The very thing! I'll do it!" "What's that?" asked Grandpa Goosey. But Uncle Wiggily hopped out without speaking.
