Burdened with the weight of years, this great soul, late yesterday passed on to its rest, and Ontario county, as well as a far wider field of friends and acquaint- ances. mourns the loss of one who was out- _ standing in public service. Ontario County had a pardonable pride in the record of public service of the Hon. Wil- liam Smith. A son of the soil, born at Col- ambus, over 83 years ago, his was a life spent unsparingly in the service of his com- ' munity and his country. Starting at an ear- ly age to take a keen interest in public af- fairs, he was elected to the federal parlia- . ment for Ontario riding when still a youhg "man and from 1887 until 1921 he reoresent- ed the riding in four different parliaments, gerving in the house, in all, for over ses- | gions. To few men is it given to hold public confidence tr this degree, yet in his case it was warranted by his decp sense of responsi- bility to his fellow-citizens, and by his zeal- . ous endeavors to rive of his best for his con- stituency and for tho country. : In the lesser field of municipal affairs, his community felt the impress of his service. As a township councillor, and for nine years as reeve of East Whitby township. he devot- ed himself to this field of public activity, and left his mark on the affairs of his home com- munity. - The public service of Mr. Smith was not : ed to the political field. A skilled ag- turist, he devoted himself to raising the standards of his vocation, and particularly along the lines of the development of a high- er type of live stock. He was prominent in live stock associations, and was one of the founders of the Royal Winter Fair. And, alive nearer home, he was one of the fa- thes of the South Ontario Agricultural So- elety, and a zealous worker for its advance- ment. It was a striking tribute that was paid to him only the day before he died when, in spite of the fact that it was known that he was critically ill, he was, for the 37th consecutive year, elected president of the Maple Leaf Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company, a company which he founded and of which he had been president since its in- tion. in military affairs, he was a leading figure. Seized with the responsibility of a citizen to be ready to share in the defence of his coun- fry, he allied himself with the militia forces of Canada as an officer of the old Ontario Regiment, and many of his closest friends in later years of his life were those who bad, in earlier days, worn the King's uniform along with him. The Hon. Willi-m Smith, lived to a ripe old . The vigor and strength which carried through a strenuous career preserved sim to an age which is given to only those specially favored men to attain. And this old age was made sweet by the remembrance of a life of outstanding service, and by the | out of them. do at home. thoughts and actions towards him of hose who had been his associates. The : those community mourns with his family in . his passing, and to those who have been be- eaved in a more intimate sense than that of . friendship or acquaintance, The Times, in .

CAUSES OF CRIME There was some frank speaking when Magistrate Creighton addressed the Oshawa Kiwanis Club. He very frankly made the assertion that wanton selfishness and disre- gard for the rights of other people were strong factors in the increase in the number of criminal offences in Canada, especially crimes committed by juveniles and youths. Such offences arise, said the magistrate, be- cause of a desire fp secure or attain some- thing which does not belong to them, with- out regard to whether or not it belongs to someone else, | Speaking after the magistrate had con- cluded his address, Norval Willson, in thank- ing the speaker, claborated on this theory be expressing the view that much of this kind of thing was duc to lack of proper parental supervision, and lack of the application of the good old hickory switch when required. There is food for thought in the remarks of both these speakers. Disregard for the rights of others is an outcome of n° ">t on the part of parents to train their ¢:ildren to understand that their desires mus! iio sup pressed if the thines ther want do nol bolony to them. And if it is nceessary to anply chastisement to {cach this lesson, there should be no hesitation in doing so. Child psychologists, of course, diiTer as fo the wis dom of corporal punishment, but to te com mon-sence man or woman of tos the old maxim of "Spare the rod and spoil {lic child" still holds good. EDITORIAL NOTES The law of averages worked well in the Toronto election recount. There were plenty of mistakes in individual polls, but when it was all over Stewart's majority was exactly the same as before. Judging from Liberal speeches in the Hamilton West el::tion campaign, one is ine clined to ask who is really the leader of the Ontario Conservative party and premier of the province. The Labor party slogan in Britain seems to be, "We may be down, but we're never out." g Other Editors' Comment (Detroit Free Press) "The public does not like radio advertising," ac- cording to the publisher of the St. Louis Star. "L'hey like the excellent programs that come with radio advertising; but they want these programs undiluted with commercial messages that are rammed down their throats with mentonous regularity." The possibility exists, as Mr, Roberts believes, that if the annoyance of radio advertising and ballyhoo continues to grow iu volume a demand will be heard that the rac.o i country be put on the same basis as it is in Gr n, where a small tax on re- ceiving scts p.ovides ampie funds for financing a high standard of entertainment. Amcricans do not like government control of any thing; but, if theiy sensibilities are rubbed much raw er by some of the radio blurbing now prevalent, they may appeal to it, a- the le .er of two evils. The inability of so many people in this country to use utilites, without abusing them, affords an invitation to governmental regulation or control in more direc: tions than one. BIT.

(Copyright, 1928) PROTECTION Part "gn It must be remembered that the Cataract is not a simple growth on the eye, but it a growth of a much more serious nature in the eye and because of its seriousness should not, in any way be neglected or overlook- ed. There is also room for doubt in some of the conditions at first pro- nounced to be cataract, because it is admitted by some authorities that the tyaloid artery which gave nutrition to the eve berore birth in clearing away 'ater leaves in some cases a natural opacity which never becomes any worse. Then again othe: « may for a time affect the lense and Joo mack ounon it but when the disease is cleared up this mark will | never become any worse. The reason some of these cases re- main more fixed is because they are but scars on the outer surface of the lens, but should tieey become of sui- ficiently serious a nature as to effect the inner layers of the lens, then a more progressive form of cataract is really brought into existence. - This then may be brougnt about by dis- sage or by injury as beforc mention- ed.
