The political procedure in England is both more fixed and more elastic than' in the United States. This seeming paradox can be resolved by remembering that in this country political leaders work entirely behind the scenes, and that all the elaborate machinery of party conventions and primary elections is practically unknown here. Theoretically the King acts on the advice of the retiring Prime Minister in calling on some other politician to form a Cabinet. Practically, al- though this advice is taken into ac- count, the savereign still exercises some measure of discretion and is not bound strictly by his advisers. A Simple Method With this comparatively simple = political method in force, it should not cause much wanderment that the average Englishman cannot begin to understand the ins and outs of Ame- rican politics, i For example, this week the British reader 'has been assured by the chor- us of American correspondents that practically there is no difference be- tween the Democrats and the Repub- licans which, in the words of one pa- per, "are really rival electioneering organizations striving for office and the spoils." When he further observes that such issues as prohibition are glossed over in the respective party plat- forms, he wonders what parties and platforms are for, and takes refuge in the generalization that politics in the United States must be a form of sport. As there is nothing in Eng- land to correspond to political pat- ronage, which is at the distribution of the party in pewer in the United States, this impression is heightened, Want Democrat Vigtory In a general way, the people of these islands would probably prefer to see a Democratic victory this au- tumn, because they think vaguely it might result in lower tariffs, and consequently a freer market for Bri- tish goods, This, unfortunately, hap- pens to coincife with the feelings of many Englishmen who view the i) A questior as a sporting one and would rather see Governor Alfred E.

T. F. Best at the evening ser- vice in the Baptist church last night. The speaker referred directly to the story of the Israelites while in bond- age in Egypt when the Egyptian task masters had ordered them to make bricks and denied fhem the use of straw in their manufacture. Grumbl ing and muttering on the part of the slaves did not help the situation any but when they turned their hearts towards God and prayed, a new hope was raised within them and they manifested great joy, praising Jeho- vah so fervently that the Egyptians concluded that God had blessed them: Rev. Best stated that today grumbl- ing and howling accomplished no more than it did in the days of Egypt's greatness, but when people began to earnestly pray about a mat. ter then results would swiftly come, _ The pastor proclaimed that it was impossible for a Christian to deceive a heathen or unconverted man, There were occasions, he added, when a professed Christian might be per plexed by two issues and could not tell which should be his choice ac cording to the standard of living he had set for himself, If he wanted advice he should go to the unconvert- ed man for the latter would have no doubt as to which coutse a Chris. tian. should pursue, Similarly he con- sidered that if one's religion were a source of happiness to one's self it could not be long concealed from those: who were without this religion, Evidence of joy on the part of the Christian would be the greatest re- buke to an idea held by many that acceptance of Christ meant loss of pleasure, The speaker emphasized that no really worthwhile thing was foregone in the Christian life but personal happiness was heightened be fellowship with Christ, Rev. Best considered that there were many things for which one could praise God about, especially in a land of freedom and opportunity like Canada, If people gave more time to thinking of their blessings he thought that there would be less trouble and less misery in the world, If every member of the church was outwardly showing joy and praising God then he forcasted that a great revival would sweep over the land as those outside would be eager to share in the happiness attendant to acceptance of Christ, The choir under the direction of Mr. R.

Those who by their stands ing during the term's work show themselves capable of passing into a higher form are allowed to do so under recommendation of their teachers, without the necessity of trying the final tests, as set by the department of education. This priv. ilege is an incentive to study dur. ing the year, as it gives each pupil something to strive for. Few are the boys and girls who would not enjoy an extra week or more of holiday.

The suit was brought by Rodgers as a result of a motor accident on the centre road south of Beaverton at the intersection of the fourth concession, where a car driven by St. John is said to have struck tne plaintiff's machine, causing consid. erable damage to it. Defendant claimed he did not see plaintiff's car until. he ran into it. W. H, Harris, of Port Perry, appeared for the plaintiff, while J. P. Mangan, of Oshawa, acted as counsel for St. John. The hearing was very lengthy, taking all day Wednesday and Thursday morning, while the jury did not bring in its verdiet until late Thursday afternoon, The suit of Wm. Cave vs, Arthur Acton with claim for damages con- cerning an alleged breach of con, tract in connection with the cut. ting of grain on the plaintiff's farm was dismisséd by His Honor Judge Thompson on Thursday af- ternoon. The plaintiff alleged the defendant had made contract with him for a certain consideration to cut a field of grain, but that he only appeared for one morning and the crop was left standing so long that a loss of $250 was sustained. He also claimed $30 for work he al. leged he had done for the defend- ant. Acton stated that he cut a path in the field in lieu of help which had been given him by the plaintiff. It could not he shown that there was any written agree- ment between the two parties, and as it would seem that the defend- ant had dealt fairly with the plain. tiff, the action was therefore lost, PROPOSED WERGER REPORT DELAYED Ottawa Awaits News from London on Wireless- Cables -------- Ottawa, June 17--No report vet been received by the Dominion Government from the committee which has been considering the sug- gested merger of the English Mar- coni Company and the Associated Cable Companies.

The charge is officially 'enied n Down- ing Street, but is bound to be the subject of questioning in the House of Commons. The diplomatic official, who, it was admitted was beaten badly by Blackshirts, was one of the "King's messengers," a picked gr.up of 25 men who carry di_lomatic docu- r.ents about Europe, They are s-metimes known as "Silver Grey- hounds because of the insignia they wear as badges. This one is attached to the British Embassy at Rome. Papers Are Demanded A few days ago he was sent to Milan on official business, Walking along the stre't there he saw two big men apparently bullying two smaller ones, He stopped to watch what was going to happen and at- tracted the attention of the ag- greasors, They came up to him and demanded to see his identity papers, Familiar with a trick said to be common in Fascist Italy, of de- manding identity papers and then returning the wallet in which they are presumably carried minus any money it may contain, the "King's Greyhound" refused to display his credentials unless his questioners 8". wed their right t) see them. Hisl nterrogators seized him and he fought back. Seeing a gendarme n the distance he called, and the policeman arrived. The messenger demanded to be taken to the near- est police station, where he showed who he was, At the same time his assailants showed who they were--Fascist detectives, The Briton received apologies from the police, who released both him and his assailants, Attacked From Ambush Later in the day he was knocked down from behind by a blow on the head, and severely kicked and beaten, Several passers-by witnessed the assault, but did not interfere, The messenger, it is said, recogn- ized his assailants when he strug- gled to his feet and fought back. He came off badly worsted in the encounter, and reported the facts to the British Embassy, ' According to some reports Nere, the Foreign Office sent a vigorous protest to the Italian Government, but this was denied officially to- day. It was said, also officially, that the incident was considered one to be handled by the British Embassy in Rome, being one of local common assault, The Foreign Office also declared it should be established tHat the assailants did not know who the messenger was. r---- AIRCRAFT EXHIBITION Montreal, June. 17,--Montreal's first alreraft exhil:tion will be held here July 7 to 16, and co- operation has been promised hy leading organizatins of the city and by the Federal Government, The Sunday motor bill was nine dead and sixteen injured.
