REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S, Fowers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicage FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17th, 1930 THE LIBERAL LEADERSHIP Associations of Liberals all over the prov- ince of Ontario are planning for the provin- cial convention which is to be held by the party in December. And among the sub- jects they are discussing that which seems to be occupying most of their attention is that of the leadership of the party. There is, frankly, a demand from some quarters for a change in leadership. This is to be ex- pected, of course, after the defeat of the lib- erals in the provincial election of last year and in the federal election of July 28. It is a Jong time since any Liberal leader has led his party to victory in Ontario and it is not " unusual to find the disgruntled followers blaming the lack of success on the leader, whether that blame is deserved or not. Be- ing the leader of a minority party in politics is always a thankless task, and W. E. N. Sinclair, who has given of his best for the cause of Liberalism in Ontario, both before and since he became leader of the party has good cause to feel that this is true in his own case. Whether Mr. Sinclair be retained as lead- er, or some other man appointed the ques- tion of the leadership of the party is one which must be given careful consideration and thoughtful study. Much as a leader can do, he cannot carry the whole burden of making the party successful on his own shoulders. Mr. Sinclair had tg.do this in the | last provincial election, when, single-handed, | he stumped the whole province and met the | attacks of the entire Conservative candi | dature. He has never been given his just dues for the gallant fight he made in that cam- paign, and had there been even half a dozen men like himself, willing to carry the bat- tle across the province, the result might have been different. - Apart from the fact that he is the mem- ber. for South Ontario, we hold no brief for' Mr. Sinclair as Liberal leader for Ontario. But he should not be deposed simply be- cause the disgruntled members of the rank and file of the party are not pleased with the loss of elections. If Mr. Sinclair is ask- ed to retire from the léadership, it should only be on account of some other nominee whom he himself would be willing to follow 'as leader, some man of butstanding rank in the councils of the party. And, judging from. the weak support which Mr. Sinclair was given by his colleagues in the last élec- tion campaign, there is no such man in sight, unless he be drafted from the federal field into the provincial arena of politics. _ WHAT POWER MEANS TO LABOR Our attention was arrested the other day by a large advertisement inserted in the newspapers by the Beauharnois Power Cor- poration, Limited. This advertisement car- ried the heading "4,000,000 robots for Can- 'ada." Now a robot is a mechanical man, an instrument of iron and steel, controlled by electricity, and some of these robots have been known to do wonderful things. Just. what the advantage to Canada of 4,000,000 ots would be is hardly apparent in the | ertisement, especially when there are so" many human beings who need the attention of the country. § 5 ' 2 policy | serious attention of the government, so that it might be possible to keép as large a share | of this trade within the Dominion and the Empire as possible, instead of sending tens of dollars outside the country and each year for a product of which the Empire has a generous supply. But the advertisement goes on to explain, The energy of a single horse power, it says, is egal to that of seven or eight men.

MY DEBT TO MY TOWN The following article, from an exchange, has a practical application locally and citi- zens will find food for thought. in its perus- al: "My town owes me nothing.' If accounts' were balanced at this date, I would be the debtor. Haven't I, all these years lived with- in the limits of the Town and shared all its benefits? Haven't I had the benefit of its schools and churches? Haven't I had the use of its park and public places? Haven't I had the protection of its fire, police, and health departments? Haven't during all this time been gathering for me, from the four corners of the earth, food for my table, clothing for my body, ial for my home? bi "Hasn't this Town furnished age by which I have succeeded in my busi- ness? Hasn't it furnished the best friends of my life, whose ideals have been my in- spiration, whose kind words have been my cheer, and whose helpfulness has carried me over the greatest difficulties? "What will I give in return? the taxes which cover so small part of what I want to give more; 1 want, of my own free will, to give enough that I can truthfully say 'This is my Town,' so that I can take pride in its prosperity, in the honors which come to its citizens, and all that makes it greater and better, "I can do this only by becoming part of the Town--by giving to it generously of my- self, In this way only can I, even in small part, pay the great debt I owe my Town." I have received. RUSSIAN COAL IMPORTS The Canadian importers in Russian coal have agreed that, after seven boats now on their way to this country have their cargoes, they will import no more coal from Russia during the fall and winter This assurance has been given the government in order to forestall the appli- cation of the dumping duties to coal from months. Russia. This undertaking should satisfy those people who have voiced objections to coal be- ing imported into Canada from Russia, and should, at the same time, be a cession to those coal dealers who have built up a business in Russian anthracite coal, which, according to their claims, higher value than American anthracite. Its chief effect, however, should be trate attention on the possibility of using Canadian and British coal td a much greater extent than is being done at present. The argument is made, of, course, that the Cana- dian coal is not of the same type as the coal being imported from Russia, and for the same purposes. countries. This is one direction in which good work might be done towards providing a large do- mestic market for a Canadian product which is being crowded out by imports from for- eign countries, and towards helping the Bri- tish coal industry by taking what coal has to be imported from British mines, rather than 'from the mines of the United States or So- viet Russia. It may be claimed that British s of het . market as well as the other types of anthra- cite coal, but it is questionable whether it ever been given a real trial, just as the berta has never coal cannot meet the n o.and Quebec. = A hational is a matter which should of mill the E i nN A 3 ; rr ---- And, to you 16 "Give 8 Man 8 Job.

A BLOW TO HUMANITY (St. Thomas Times-Journal) A recent issue of the London Times contained one column and a halt of "In Memorian" notices of young Englishmen who had been killed in the battle of Loos during the world war, They were nearly all officers, and the me jority re between the ages of eighteen d twenty-three. When it is remembered that Bri- tain lost just on one million men, most of them in their early twen- ties, can it be wondered that the Old Land is lagging behind in somé respects? If there had been no war tens of thousands of these men would have been leaders in science, In medicine and surgery, in Indus- try, in polities, or playing their parts in the normal course of life, Among them might have been great. musicians, writers, artists, athlet- es, and a hundred and one things, Today, those men would have been in the heyday of their powers, men- tal and physical, and when such a gigantic slice is cut out of the life of the country, a whole gener- ation of the picked manhood of the nation, the country {s bound to suf- fer until, in the process of time, those men are replaced by the boys then and later In school, Had they lived they would have been between thirty and forty, and it is men between those years who' have made the biggest contribu- tions to the world. The power for service by one million men of all kinds at that age is tremendous, France, Germany and other coun- tries that were in the thick of the' fight from 1914 and 1915, are heavily handicapped. It is no won- der they have troubles, and it will possibly take ten years more to see them. through, . LACROSSE REVIVING (Cornwall Freeholder) Lacrosse is coming back.

What an amazing contrast can be seen between the towns whose citi- sens are proud of it and those towns whose citizens take no pride in the home city and knock it at every op- portunity. Towns are not built by chance they are built by men and women; they are built by citizens who are proud of it and who cooperate tor gether to make it brighter, busier and better, EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD BE PROUD OF HIS HOME TOWN AND ALWAYS BOOST IT AND HELP IT ON ITS WAY.

Presently he came to a small cottage where an old woman was working in the garden. "Can you spare me a very old pair of boots?™ he asked, The cottager looked him "wp and down.

"I know, ma'am," he returned "and that's what's ruining my business." _ DISCOUNT The other day 1 went into a store on Fifth Avenue, New York, writes Lord Castlerosse, in the London 'Sunday Express, with a view of buying a new hat, A young woman came up to th counter and said: "Do you giv the wife of a clergyman any dis count?"

And so I formed the idea which has been proven by Dr. Jas, Mac- Kenzie that a murmur of the heart, an actual leaking of the heart, does- n't necessarily mean any danger, just as ng as the heart muscle keeps ip good condition, Unfortunately some of the athletes getting examined for insurance or for overseas service were refused in- surance and rejected for the army because of these murmurs, Now this didn't worry these men but others immediately began to think about their heart, to wonder if they might not suddenly drop dead in the street or elsewhere. This so. affected every part of them, mental, physical, and moral, that they became almost wrecks of their former joyous healthy selves, because as you know the emotions have a great affect upon all the organs and tissues of the body. Of course the family, their friends, and even they themselves, began to think that this loss of health and strength was all a part of and due to the heart ailment, whereas the heart itself would have gone on till old age, if they had not affected it along with the rest of the body by their worry about the heart proper. I often talk about this, because more people die of heart disease than any other ailment.

He delivered a fiery ad- dress at the Haymarket before the parade started, Warned not to pro- ceed along James street, the marchers defied this order and were driven back by police, A squad of 20 officers surrounded the city hall guarding all en trances while two motor cycle of- ficers walked up to the head of the parade, seized Patterson and |' took him to police headquarters degpite several attempts by crowd to free him, WOMAN DEPORTED AS HUSBAND WORKS Hamilton Citizen, in Canada 18 Years, Forcibly Sent to England Hamilton, Oct, 17.--The charge was made by Ald. T, Lewingfon yesterday that the dominion im- migration duthorities had forcibly deported a Hamilton woman with- out. the knowledge of her hus- band and despite the fact that she had been a resident of Canada for 18 years, Ald. Lewington at pres- ent is withholding the name of the woman but states that he has in- vestigated and found the facts as alleged correct. The woman, who came to Can- ada 18 years ago from England to be married, suffers from epil- epsy, She voluntarily went to the Ontario hospital for trreatment and it is as a result of this that she was deported. The husband states that the immigration au- thorities threatened to deport the whole family but he protested that he had resided in Canada for so many years that he could best earn his living here, Then when he was at work, he alleges, im- migration officers came and seized his wile.

He expressed the opinion that until such steps are taken it would be almost im- possible to control eancer because the, study of the disease was such a tremendous undertaking as to de- mand group study, "Cancer cannot be controlled by individuals," he said. "Diagnosis demands expensive experience gain- ed only through experiment." PUBLISHER LOSES FORTUNE IN SUMMER OPERA IN CHICAGO Chicago.~Louis - Eckstein, wealthy Chicago publisi.er and capitalist, is out $139,107.20 from his private purse by reason of the deficit of his Rav- inia summer opera. The total deficit of the opera, which gives Chicagoans an opportunity to hear world famous artists in cool, wooded glades dur- ing the summer months, was over $241,000 this year--the largest in 19 years. Approximately $100,000 of this is to be paid by patrons, At the beginning of this year, de- spite the fact that it was certain to be one of the worst theatre years in history, Dr. Eckstein expapded his programme to make the season Rav- inia's most elaborate. Today, as he prepared to write off his loss, he gave assurances that opera at Ravin- ia would go on as long as he lives, Fach year he shoulders huge deficits.
