A great many people are tempted 10 express the opinion these days that Canada is suffering from what they are pleased to term, "Too much Politics.‘‘ Nothing could be much further from the truth. The trouble vith Canada at present is not **too much politics‘‘ but not enougl * polâ€" ities."" Intelligent Politics in Canaâ€" da has been replaced by an unreasonâ€" able and absurd partyism, to which we can trace our present unfortunate inefficiency and apparent helplessness in a o'reat crisis as a people. Politics‘‘ in Canada bears an illâ€" repute that the word does not deâ€" serve. All parties may become corâ€" rapt and inefficient, but *Politics‘‘ in itself remains a faithful science withâ€" out which liberty would be vain and democracy of no avail. The dictionâ€" nry defines ‘‘*Politics"‘ as: *The science of government; that part of cthiecs which relates toâ€"the regulation and government of a nation or state for the preservation of its safety, peace and prosperity.‘‘ The study and the use of ‘*Politics‘‘ must be smong the chief guides and guards of any selfâ€"governing people. _ Inâ€" deed, â€"nearly all the ills we bear and many of the evils we fear are due cifects from the fact that the majâ€" ority of the people would give neithâ€" WEDNESDAY, JULY 25TH, 1917. Parties are but the apparently conâ€" venient® means by which **Politics‘"‘ may be enforced. Men who â€" agree on what they believe to be essential prineiples of the "*science of governâ€" ment band themselves together in parâ€" ties in the trust that the strength that comes from union will hasten and gu@arantee the adoption of their beliefs. It is one of the absurdities of human nature that men remember their Parties long after their Poliâ€" tiecs and policies are forgotten.

Toâ€"day it is not a question of tariffs. It is the issue of the very life and soul of Canada. There is no loyalty due to any Party. There is every loyalty due to Canaâ€" da. It might avoid the diversion of an election at this time if the people let it be known that they had discarâ€" ded the fetishes of the oldâ€"time parâ€" ties, and now were devoted to ‘‘Poliâ€" ties."‘‘ And if an election does come, Canada may be saved by ‘‘Politics,"‘ â€"the science of â€" Government,â€" science that will throw aside unesâ€" sentials and discarded issues and centre on the one vital question. In such an election no candidate‘s forâ€" mer party or his tariff or trade views should be considered. There should be but one question, one test: ‘‘Are you prepared to do all and give all that Canada may not desert her brave sons overseas, that Canada may save her honor and her glory and her soul at cost?2"‘ For loyal act and clever answer, both, hats off to little Hattie Macfarâ€" lane of North Bay. She is the sixâ€" yearâ€"old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Macfarlane. The other day she sent THREE socks which she had knitted herself to one of the Toronto patriotic sccieties. That was thoughtâ€" ful loyalty for a sixâ€"yearâ€"old. _ She received a note of thanks and a query as to why she sent THREE â€" socks. Her reply: ‘*A whole pair for a }whule soldier, and the half pair for any oneâ€"legged poor soldier who needs it."" That was a thoughtful answer for a sixâ€"yearâ€"old.

Special Meeting of Township Council Also Deals With School Debentures. Reeve Kennedy and Councillor Boyle stated the particulars of the changes that had been made in the phone rates during the past twelve months. Mr. Allan then addressed the Counâ€" cil and stated that the Company was willing to reduce the rentals as from June l1st, 1917 to $40.00 for business phones and $22.50 for private phones, with the toll rate of 10¢ per call reâ€" maining as before and 2¢ per minute over the first three munutes.

All will trust that this is an absoluâ€" tely correct deduction. But another statement will not be so readily acâ€" cepted here. This statement is to the effect that settlers and others are strictly observed the law. This difâ€" fers from the facts, at least in some eases. It is a matter of general conâ€" ment,. for instance, that the regulation forbidding setting fires between April and: October, without special permit from the Forest Ranger, is often beâ€" ing treated with complete disregard. Of course, the Forestry men can not watch the whole‘ big territory all the time, but they might at least‘ make NO FURLOUGH FOR â€" â€"â€"__ FIRST CONTINGENT MEN an example of any found breaking the law 1eoqrd1ng forest fire protectâ€" ion, for this as a question. on: which the very lives>of the people here deâ€" sible to spare from service any man who 1s inâ€"condition physically to take part in the fighting. In reaponse to the growing agitaâ€" tion requesting that plans be made to allow those of Canada‘s First Contingent who are still fighting in France and Flanders to be relieved and return to their native land for a brief furlough, Sir Edward Kemp, Minister of Militia, this week announâ€" ced that serious consideration of the matter both at Ottawa and overseas,. it was. found to ‘be :unposâ€" Many Cases at Police Court Session Last Week. There was variety as well as quanâ€" tity about the cases at the police court last week. In addition to the usual bumper crop of booze cases, there was a burglary case that did not come to trial and a botheration case that cost the botherer $16.25. Also, there was a charge against a man for stealing a stick of timber and â€" for using unpleasant language to an oldâ€" er gentleman. ouU1Ce LOT L phone in th phone used License Ins borated the ing that Hu had no offic that Officer place was a Inspector s: er to here EC h=@ TV e D. Berrigan, who had been firned by Mr. H. E. Montgomery, J.P., for beâ€" ing intoxicated, found that another charge,â€"that of carrying a revolver without permission,â€"developed from thus getting in touch with the police. To the Magistrate, Berrigan explainâ€" ed that he was only carrying home a borrowed revolver to take out with him the next day on a camping trip. He did not know this was against the law. The Magistrate said this was unfortunate, but he would make the fine light,â€"only $10 and costs, and the gun would be confiseated. â€" This meant $14 in all, and Berrigan will have to square with his friend for the borrowed gun which he can not reâ€" turn. Charles Calderoni was charged by Mrs. Lamotte with following her abâ€" out and annoying her by making obâ€" jectionable remarks and calling her unpleasant names. After she gave evidence, Calderoni denied all wrongâ€" doing. He said that he had been on friendly terms with the lady for a year or more and had only passed harmless remarks. ‘The Magistrate, in view of the fact that Calderoni had been fined for beating the woman and had been warned to leave her alone, imposed a fine of $10 and costs, or $16.25 in all. Magistrate Atkinson referred to the fact that remarks that might sound harmless sometimes had a double meaning, and Calderoni must not continvze to annoy the woman or he would be given a sentence in jail. A charge of breaking into a house was preferred against a respectableâ€" appearing young man but was disâ€" missed for want of prosecution. The young man denied all knowledge of the offence and was ready to prove that he was innocent. The woman laying the charge, apparently, had found it a case of mistaken identity for she did not appear to press the case. The cases against the various Chinamen referred to last week were all remanded until this Thursday, for theâ€" convenience of counsel. (G. Maisson pleaded not guilty to a charge of stealing a stick of timber from the Platte Veteran claims. He made the same plea to another charge of using improper language to the veteran caretaker of the said \eteran‘ claims. Mr. Maisson said that there were no fences on the property and no signs or notices. He took a stick of timber on the date named in the charge but returned it when comâ€" plaint was made.â€" He had no idea whether it was from the Platte or Suceess properties and there was no way of knowing. He had ‘‘*helped out‘‘ the caretaker so often in the winter that he felt entitled to the poor piece of timber taken. He also said he did not use bad language. Magistrate Atkinson dismissed both charges, warning Maisson, however, to ’he caleful to keep off the Platte proâ€" perty in the future and so avoid furâ€" ther trouble. In giving evidence in the case atr-l ainst Geo. Preston of illegally having liquor in other than his private dwelling house, Provincial Officer Ackroyd said that Mr. Preston had admitted to him to the taking of a bottle down to Sandy Falls on a fishâ€" ing tnp and returning with one drink saved in the bottle for a friend. Mr. Preston denied ever having â€" liquor illegally, and said that if he told the officer the story it was simply for a joke. Solicitor Cook explained that Mr. Preston was fond of joking and jollying, and the Magistrate dismissed the case with the remark that it was foolish to try such jokes on the police. â€"The charge of keeping liquor preâ€" ferred against Gib. McGinnis was withdrawn by the Officer who exâ€" plained that investigation did not sugâ€" gest that Mr. McInnis had been doing anything illegal. As the trouble arâ€" ose from friends drinking in Mr. Mcâ€" Ginnis‘ house, the Magistrate allowed the. withdrawal of the charge, at the same time giving the friendly advice that it was best for a man to keep The charge of having liquor in a public place, as first preferred agâ€" ainst Chas. Harrington, was reduced to a simple drunk charge, the aceused his liquor to himself. *‘ thing, that‘‘ says Solicitor Cook,"‘ it lasts longer.‘‘ through ~counsel pleading guilty and paying the minimum fine. Eli Anderson for being drunk and not knowing where he get his liquor paid $20 and costs, or $27 in all. â€" Solicitor J. E. Cookâ€" defended M. Hurtubise: on the charge of keeping liquor in an illegal place. Provincial Officer Ackroyd‘s evidence was to the effect that he found the liquor in Hurtubise‘s house, which was conâ€" nected with the yards and sheds of the livery stable, and was used as an office for the said livery, the teleâ€" phone in the house being also the phone used for calling up for rigs. License Inspector Blackwell corroâ€" borated the Officer‘s evidence, sayâ€" ing that Hurtubise had told them he had no office and kept no books, and that Officer Milligan had said the place was a ""private dwelling.‘‘ The Inspector said he was astonished latâ€" er to here that Hurtubise had an ‘*office‘‘ in the loft. Hurtubise, in his own behalf, said his phone was a private one and he used the house only as his private dwelling. Officer Ackâ€" royd had told him it was a private dwelling before he got in the case which was only for his own use. He kept all papers, etc., for the livery in the loft in a table and box there. Inâ€" spector Blackwell produced a printed card advertising the phone for the livery and also emphasized the fact that while the accused now claimed that Officer Ackroyd had said the place was a private dwelling, he had claimed before in presence of Officer Ackroyd that it was another _ offiâ€" cer. The Magistratre imposed a fine of $200 and costs, saying that in case of an appeal, however, he would be pleased to give copies of papers, ete. Mik Hakailuik pleaded ‘"‘"not guilâ€" ty‘‘ to selling liquor on July 10th. Evidence being given to prove the charge, Hakailuik then claimed _ he had handed over the money to another party for whom he sold the liquor. ‘‘That makes no difference, even if true,‘‘ said the Magistrate ‘""‘and I will fine you $200 and costs for actâ€" ing as a middleman.‘‘ Magistrate Atkinson suggested that if there were possibility of truth in â€" Hakailuik‘s story, a charge should be laid against the third party named, but the police said they were sure it was without foundation. When Vassal Guta was arrested for being drunk and said he bought the liquor from Hakailuik, the latter had him at onee charged with breaking into a house and stealing liquor and other goods. Guta‘s story later was that he had simply entered the house to get liquor that he had previously paid for. In the meanâ€" time, however, Guta was sentenced to six months in the Ontario Reformaâ€" tory for the houseâ€"entering act. On Thursday, Solicitor Cook asked the Magistrate if in view of the later developments he could reâ€"open Guta‘s case and revise or suspend the senâ€" tence. Magistrate Atkinson said this did not lie within his powers, even if he considered Guta innocent,â€"and he thought that Guta, whether. drunk or sober when the offence occurred, had |committed the act for which he was sentenced, the evidence being very strong in proof of this view.
