TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1929 THE THREE MANIFESTOES Phe manifestoes of the three leaders in the pro- vincial general election arc now before the people of Ontario, J. G. Lethbridge, the Progressive leader, having added his to the two which were issued last week by Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Sinclair as a matter of service to its complete readers The Times pub- lished the téxt of all three manifestoes in its issue of yesterday, The three manifcstoes, taken side by side, are re- markably alike in their context on all questions 'ex- cept for the. liquor issue. sensed the need for agricultural reforms, for as- sistance in road-building for thc municipalities, for lower hydro rates for the farm people, and for the various other 'matters which, as pointed out pre- viously, come more within the scope of departmental administration than of ncw legislative enactments. * * * * On: the liquor question, however, there is a diver- In his manifesto, Mr. Ferguson' stands pat on. the Liquor Control Act, says that it needs a longer period of trial before any judgment can be given, as: to its success or failure, But Ire has twice amplified that statement, first by declaring that under no circumstances will there be another pleb- iscite on the liquor issue while he is premier, and later, at Elmvale, by saying that if the Liquor Con- trol Act is found to be a failure, something clse will But, for the purposes of the present election, he favors continu. ance indefinitely of the Liquor Control Act, and will have no decision of the people on that subject save #hat of a vote on candidates and party politics, rather gence of opinion: have to be devised to take its place. issue, than on the straight liquor : . 8 Ce Mr. Sinclair's "stand 'has already been dealt with. He pledges his: party to. rigid enforcement of the Liquor Control Act. so long as it remains on the statute books, and to give a plebiscite on the liquor question as soon as it is demanded by the people of Ontario. but the manifesto caves no room for any misunder- standings. * * * * The Progressive liquor policy, laid down by Mr. Lethbridge, is a little morc specific. He is prepared to present a bill in the legislature to the cffcct that no brewery, or distillery shall manufacture or sell aleoholic liquor in Ontario, and to carry this legisla- tion to the Privy Council to test the authority of the province in matters of this kind, And he further pledges his party to submit a plebiscite to the people of Ontario within one year of taking office, if his party is successful in the election campaign. The policies of Mr. Ferguson and: Mr. Sinclair have already been dealt with in these columns. That of Mr. Lethbridge goes farthest of the three with respect to liquor legislation, There is just a danger, however; that from the standpoint of the prohibi- tionists, it goes a little too far in pledging the Pro- gressives to a plebiscite within one year of taking "office. It would be disastrous to the cause of pro- hibition were a plebiscite ordered before the temper- ance forces had prepared the ground for it. A period of cducation and organization for the cause of tem- perance is a vital necessity if the liquor traffic is ever to be driven from the province, and to submit a plebiscite prematurely would probably do much more harm than good to the cause of temperance, : $x » ® The three party leaders have : now: issued their manifestocs. They have placed their platforms and policies before the clectors of Ontario, and it now "rests with them to make their own decisions as to Between now and October 30, . which to support. "the manifestoes will be supplemented and explained "from platforms all over the province, and there will {be every opportunity for the electors to become fully 'acquainted with the. issues, such. as they are, that arc being placed before them in this clection. Al- y thougli prospects for a keen campaign are not very 'bright, it is to be hoped that sufficient interest will Sbe aroused to. ensure that the vote will be, large « cnough to represent a fairly accurate expression of othe will of the people. . THE "SONS OF F REEDOM" It is interesting to note that fhe views which have Leen oxpsessed by. The Times with reference to. the "troubles in western, Canada with that sect of Donk- "hobors known as the "Sons of Freedom," arc justified "by the comments of newspapers right on the ground. "Phe Times has lield that these trouble-makers do "not gepresent the true Doukhobor community, which is a hard-working, law-abiding body of people, and Lihys view is upheld by an editorial which recently ap- wy i in the Nelson Daily News, of Nelson, B. C, whole the troubles had their central point, 'This cdi- All 'three leaders have In all his clection campaign specches, he has reiterated: this policy, sometimes rather vagucly, i ae torial, appearing under the caption, "Ends are not Religious," is as follows: "Doukhobor Sons of Freedom in their inter- view with R. S. Lennie, K.C,, displayed their usual attitude, "They refused to obey laws to which they object, . "Discussions. with. these people always end in about the same way, and it is not because they are religious fanatics but because they are attempting to gain political and economic ends by talking religion. They have a habit of modifying their views of the Scriptures to suit their desires of the moment. "They talk of martyrdom but they are not of the martyr breed. That has been proved time and time again when they have been dealt with by a strong "hand." This editorial simply emphasizes what The Times has previously pointed out, that the great majority of Doukhobors should not be placed in the same class as the "Sons of Freedom," but should be given the credit which is due tp all foreign peoples who are prepared and anxious to become good citizens of Canada, with all that that term implies, * THE CROP RETURNS Now that the bulk of the western grain crop has been harvested, and the returns have not proven so disastrous as was anticipated at one time, western newspapers are paying more attention to the finapcial returns of the crop than to the actual number of bushels" harvested. 2 ; In this respect, there are. two factors which are making the financial returns from the grain crop very satisfactory, and well up to the high level of' last year. The first of these is the quality of the ¢rop. Last year's crop, although immense in quan- tity, was low: in quality, and the average grade was low, probably about grade No. 4. This meant an average return to the producer, according to the Calgary Herald, of about 85 cents per bushel. This year's crop, in quality, is reported to be one of the best ever taken off the western plains, with an aver- age grading of No. 2 Northern. With the high prices which are prevailing for wheat this year, this means an average return of $1.69 per bushel. Another factor which will have an influence on the financial return to the producer for his crop is the cost of harvesting and transportation. Last year, the harvesting costs were unusually high, while this year the cost of harvesting the crop has been much lower than the average. The Calgary Herald, dis- cussing this aspect of the situation, says: -- "After making a fair adjustment for the much reduced cost of harvesting and transporting the 1929 crop, it would appear that the average farmer in Western Canada will realize $16.45 per acre this year, as against $16.59 for 1928." These figures show that the panicky reports which were issued a month or two ago were far from be- ing justified, that although the production of the western wheat fields was far below the standard for last year, the amount of money which will be avail- able for distribution as a result of marketing the 1929 wheat crop will be nearly as large as it was a year ago. This means a great deal to the whole of Canada, for it will leave the western farmers free, not only to mezt their obligations, but to purchase on just as large a scale as they did a year ago, thus spreading the benefits of the crop throughout the whole range of Canadian industry. BILLBOARDS DOOMED A storm of public opinion now brewing may sweeep the unsightly billboard or advertising sign from the roadside of main thoroughfares in this province. Up to this time they have been multiplying in numbers, but there are indications that the public is registering a protest ~ that will go far to abolition of these cyesores and vision breakers. The roadside signboard is said to have a certain advertising value and the public neither envies the advertiser for his profit from .it nor does it desire to deprive the advertiser of any business advantage, but the highways are primarily for the benefit and pleasure of the people and the advertising sign de-* tracts from those benefits and pleasures. Motorists find the poster-board obnoxious for the three reasons that it mars the landscape, obstructs the view of the scenery and creates a traffic hazard by interference with the vision of the driver. All are sufficiently valid rcasons why the advertising sign should be prohibited along main highways. In the carly days of the automobile tlie roadside poster-board was limited to circus posters on barn broadsides 'and motorists never dreamed of them as a future problem of highway administration. Public opinion then could not have been molded against the signboard, Today it is molding itself and may strike anytime. When the advertiser finds that his signboards are distasteful to 'the public he will not wait, if he is wise, until the passage of legislation before he ree moves them. EDITORIAL NOTES One indispensable method of attaining long life lies in overcoming the habit of jay-walking. : The British Reds are fighting amongst themselves, Possibly because they can't get anyone else to fight with them. Canada's huge apple crop this year might very well put all the dogtors out of business, if the old saying holds good. i A merger is taking place of several banks in the United States, probably on the principle that mergers are better than failures. Women's feet are reported to be increasing in size. Perhaps because they put their feet down a great deal more than they used to. Canada's apple crop this year is half a million bar- rels greater than last ycar. "But they will probably be just as dear at the corner store, Football is said to be taking the place of bull fighting in Spain. Evidently the old traditional form of Spanish sport was becoming too tame. Schools' for teaching: women to shop are 'being established in somc of the larger United States cities.

MEN OF THE NORTH (Guelph Mercury) Northern Ontario men who tackle hungry wolves with their bare hands are few, but when one does so perform the wolf has little chance of escape. Last week a Northern settler with the grip of a Samson made one wolf wish he bad meyer tackled an unarmed hu- man being, for he lost his hide in the effort. NO END TO TAXES (Chesley Enterprise) The taxpayers of Bruce, nor of any other county for that matter, do not need to count too much on lower county rates when patriotic and bridge debentures are paid. There will always be spring fresh- ets to sweep away county bridges or require repairs to the abutments at least, three or four mills to maintain county highways on the fifty-fifty basis and 20 per cent on provincial highways, besides a mill at least for old-agé pensions. The only relief on road expendl- ture we can se eis when aeroplanes become so general that the air will relieve the highway traffic, MUNICIPAL INCOME TAX (Niagara Falls Review) The Review has often directed attention to the many bad features, of the municipal income tax. It is not collected in an equitable man- ner, One municipality may have a high assessment and low mill rate, while the reverse may be true in an adjoining place. In the Tatter case the income taxpayer may pay double the tax paid by a man in the other town, Then it is well known that some municipalities make little or no effect to collect this unpopu- lar impost, while in another the collection may be conscientiously made. It is also known that some people, whose income is not derly- ed from within the city escape much of the tax, while others, not making any more must pay on all because the investments in Hie city are known, cannot escape. Places where collceitons are really made are at a certain disadvantage in this respect, compared with other places, where officialdom winks at lax conditions. | - Bits of Humor - | Mother -- Wiliis, I told you to wash your neck real clean.

Barton, M.D. 4 TURNS IN THE INTESTINE When you think of the tube which carries your food from the mouth to its exit from the body and trace its winding course uphill, down. hill, around single curves and then around double or "S" curves, the wonder is that there is not even more trouble than there is. Because this tube is not unlike an elastic tube in that it can be stretch- ed at certain points and the "stretch" or clasticity taken out if it be kept dilated too long and too often. First the tube going from mouth to stomach can be dilated if there is any obstruction or "spasm" where it enters the stomach. The stomach itself can get distend- ed by too much food, too much wat- er, or because it hangs a little low anyway. This makes a hard "climb" for the food up to the opening into small intestine, Sometimes this open- ing has' an obstruction or . spasm which prevents or delays food pass- ing from stomach to intestine. Then just a short distance from where it joints the large intestine the small intestine curves and may have a kink or obstruction, As the food lcaves the small in- testine and enters large intestine by means of a valve the food is pre- vented from flowing back. However, it falls or flows downward a few in- ches and then has to climb upward about twelve inches. There is often a delay here and this part of the large intestine, filled with waste mat- ter, becomes pouched or dilated. This is often mistaken for appendicitis. After climbing up this distance it makes a sudden turn across the ab- domen from right side to left. When it makes this sudden turn there can be a kink or obstruction. Halfway across it sometimes loops downward, and at centre of this loop there can be another delay. After getting a- cross' to left side it makes another sudden curve downward and again there can be a delay. And finally just before leaving the body there is a double or S curve again which causes a delay and dila- tation above. Now what do all these curves, spasms, and kinks mean? . That something in your manner © eating, jn the kind of food you eat, in your habits of sitting or stand- ing, helps to caysc kinks and de- lays and make ordinary curves sharp- er or harder to get past, . Eating slowly, eating cnough fruit and vegetables to keep intestine slightly irritated and thus moving or contracting, spreading meals well a- sitting erect al- ways with abdomen drawn in, should prevent trouble, THAT merchants like to sell well advertised products because everybody likes to buy that kind. THAT everywhere can be found a strong and growing demand for well advertised products, for their worth is well known, THAT their worthy quality has given them such a wide recognition that they are pop- ular sellers, Their pop- ulavity is ever growing be- cause of their superior 'qual- ity. THAT well advertised products are the last word in better quality. They will meet the requirements of the most exacting customer, THAT well advertised qual- ity is the kind everyone is proud to scll and proud to buy because they please every- body. Persistent advertising creates good-will; good will creates new customers; new customers create profits, Quality and truthful adver tising are an indispensable combination in creating bet. ter business. Truthful advertising directs people's minds favorably toward the products advertised. Well advertised products are of a standard quality and, value. Products that are regularly and consistent- ly advertised are demanded by name. FRIGHTENED HORSE LEAPS ON CAR HOOD Camp Borden Airman Cut as Animal's Hoof Breaks Windshield St. Catharines, Sept, 24--Flight- of Camp Borden and his wife had a new ex- perience for aviators. They were driving in their motor car past the St. Catharines Riding and Driving Clubs track, when three horses which had broken loose on the club grounds galloped out on Queens- ton street. One of the horses, evi- dently panic-stricken by the large number of cars on the road, leaped on top of the Howsam car. Mrs. Howsam moved her head just as a hoof shot through the "windshield. Glass flew and Lieut. Howsam re- ceived a gash on the hand.

These are to include-- "Unnecessary tooting of horns. "Grinding and squeaking brakes. "Flapping of loose solid tires. "Excessively loud horns. "The clatter of badly packed loads on trucks. "Backfiring engines. "Unnecessary grinding on shifting gears. "Inefficient silencers. "This is the list as the London magistrates will get it. Of course, it might be prolonged considerably. Might it not be a good idea if our local magistrates pasted this list up on their desks? So far, they have nothing very definite to go on in deciding what is unnecessary noise, and in the lack of it Montreal is ragidly becoming a bedlam." UNNECESSARY NOISES (Peterboro Examiner) Our hats are off to the Oshawa po- lice department, which has announc- cd a campaign to banish unnecessary noises in the Motor City, and our best wishes go out to Chief Friend and his men in their efforts. Prominent in the police list, it is noticed, is the individual who need- lessly sounds his automobile horn, cspecially late at night. He is found in every community, and only innate kindness of heart on the part of a suffering public and the further fact that Canadian courts work efficiently and swiftly has spar- ed victims of his quict-shattering methods from taking the law in their own hands and ending the nuisance via a sawed-off shotgun.

The Oshawa drive on all such of- fenders will be watched closely by other municipalities, and if it gets results there will be a widespread de- mand for police forces everywhere to be up and doing. There is room right here at home for a vigorous campaign along the lines inaugurated in the Motor City. OSHAWA TAKES A FORWARD STEP (Kingston Whig-Standard) The fast growing and prosperous city of Oshawa took a very decided step forward when the Chief of Po- lice issued instructions to the mem- bers of his force, to wage war on noise makers of all kinds. Sheuting on the streets, promiscuous tooting of auto horns by motorists, and all un- necessary noises which might dis- turb the slumber of peaceful citizens at night will be curbed. Noise is very hard on the nerves, and some scientists claim that it has a deterjorating effect even on healthy people. There is no doubt that in this age of hustle and bustle there is far too much unnecessary noise, and Oshawa is to be congratulated on leading in a crusade to stop it.
