At St. Pe- tersburg, Fla, they adopted reso- lutions in which was recorded their 'determination to oppose with the utmost vigor any and all presi. dentlal candidates who are not committed definitely to prohibi- tion enforcement and whose com- mitments are not backed by satis. factory performance in the past, Specific prescriptions include Ni- cholas Murray Butler, Nicholas Longworth, James W. Wadsworth, Albert O. Ritchie, Alfred E. Smith and James A. Reed. Eliminations are made without respect to party, To say arbitrarily that a citizen shall not sit in the presidential chair simply because he is not more in love with the Volstead Act than with the thousaands of other laws on the statute hooks is to manifest a narrowness which has reaached the vanishing point of citizenship. A political leader may he pre-eminently fitted for the chief magistracy, yet not be regarded as a professional profi hitionist.. If the time has come when the single qualification of a president is that he be ready to expend all his energy -in the en- forcement of one law, then the time has come when we as a nation are ready to give up the ghost, BY TWOS AND THREES (Renfrew Mercury) The Mercury's Beachburg cor- respondent writes: A citizen of Beachburg who owns a cow was recently presented by her with twin calves, which however died later Shortly afterward a farmer living near this village outdid our eiti- zen, when one of his cows became They arrived on St. Patrick's Day the proud mother of three calves in the morning, and though the owner is a Scotsman, they were promptly nanred Pat, Mike and Biddy, according to our informant." and Service Weight Hosiery Modish Spring Shades the ' at, pair $1.59 - $1.95 PRING DAYS rich with sunlight and brisk, unruly breezes that draw atten- tion to one's hose at the most unexpect- » » thus behooying smart moderns to consider their spring hosiery i These are a remarkable ' Fine French Kid and Washable Kid Gloves from $1.95 up. 114 SIMOCE STREET SOUTH Atkins' Hosiery and Lingerie Shop PHONE 162 Pickering, April 10. -- Mr. W.

In a busy side street of the City of London a carman, having de- livered his load, stole a few mo- ments to fondle his horse. After patting and stroking his head sev- eral times he kissed him gently. "Look," sald my companfon, as the man rested the animal's soft muzzle against his cheek. "Look, see how he loves his horse." He is not the only ome. In the dock and warehouse quarters, in those streets of merchandise, where horsevans line the kerbs, so that the trafic of the motor threads through deviously and with harsh words, still you shall sce many such manifestations of the spirit of an ancient comradeship. In one of our police courts a few days ago a carman burst into tears as he described the motor crash that killed his dumb friend. For other than economic reasons I am sure it is good that this com- radeship should survive. But thoughts of more material con- cern arise from this subject. Barve ly nowadays is a carman sent out with a horse that he is ashamed to drive. Tt is a fact that/Rhe draught horses of our land were never of finer quality than today, for the plain reason that the mo- tor's rivalry has left no place for any but the best. A NEEDED REBUKE Sturdy Chief Coulter deserved public thanks for the protest made by him before the civic trafic com- mittee. It was in relation to the question of parking, which was un- der consideration. Requests had evidently been made by certain firms to the committee that spe cial consideration be given to their interests--the requests not heing intended for publication, It was aagainst this sort of thing that the chief protested. "There {is too much of this business of private interests being considered in the framing and enforcement of our trafic regulations," he sald. "We must make the by-laws in the gen- eral public interest, not for the banefit of any individual citizen or class."
