Freeman, Unfair to Municipalities "Nearly every year the Ontario Municipal Association passes a resolution opposing "the costs now loaded on municipalities for services which are strictly provincial in character, but the Legislature grants no _- relief," says the Municipal World, which adds: "The most outstanding service of this kind is the preparation of provincial voters' ~ lists by municipal officials, The names of legislative franchise voters are taken each year by the assessor, and part three of the voters' list is prepared by the clerk. In smaller municipalities part three is printed each year. In other municipalities it is printed when required on order of the clerk of the peace. Printing costs are payable by the municipality, as also are all expenses pality and the clerk of the peace. This is most unfair legislation and should be stren- nously opposed by united effort through the _ Municipal Association. If the Dominion "ean prepare and pay for its own voters' ~ lists, the Province should do likewise," The Foolishness of Hoarding A short time ago in New York City, a _ nurse, noting the suspicious actions of a * 92 year old woman recluse she was attend- ng, took advantage of the old woman's jemporary abgence to ,make a hurried Hidden in faded cloth- later search disclosed $400,000 more in cash The old woman had ears, explaining that she "got scared of ks" during the panic of 1907. _ The incident revealed one of the causes of the existing financial and unemployment situation.

All of these circumstances combine to make the apple-growers of this year quite cheerful and optimistic. This was evident in the survey which was made. They have the goods, there is a demand and a market for them, and they are having little diffi- culty in making sales. This provides them with ready cash, a commodity which has heen somewhat scarce on the average type of farm, As one authority said, " a farm- er with a good, clean apple erop does mot have to worry." . And since there are scores of farmers in this district in that happy position, things look very hopeful and en- couraging in these two counties.

His peculiar brand of emotional eloquence is really better suited to advocacy of Labour claims than to decorating the bloodless abstraction of orthodox Liberalism, L. G. has never been at home among the doctrinaires. SUNDAY DANCING (London Free Press) If there is no law to stop dancing in cafes and in roadhouses in London and Middlesex County, there should be. The Free Press docs not believe in foolish blue laws that would make every person go to church on Sunday, but on the otlier hand, the people of Ontario do not want the wide-open con- tinental Sunday which is becoming the rule rather than the exception in the United States. Ontario has traditions in this regard which it should follow, and ir Sunday dancing is permitted in cafes and restaur= ants, the next step wil be the amusement halls open on Sundays and then Sunday theatres. What is more, there should be one law for the country and the sa..ae law for London. There should be no dis- erimination. The Sunday dancing in cafes, restaurants and roadhouses is contrary to the feels ing of ninetv-nine out of a hundred people in On« tario, even those who think the Lord's Day Act is sometimes foolishly enforced, The authorities, whe- ther county, city or provincial, who have power in the matter, should take action, [If new legislation is needed, then it should be forthcoming. sce idea of .

Through the night with paintul toll and slow, Blind, groping, with outstretched hands and lag- ging feet we go, Cheering our downcast burdened hearts with hopes Of the long-wished-for ethercal tomorrow. Through the night youth's joy and light grown dim, Qur dreams to sorrow turned, our hopes to terrors grim, We still plod on, pleased if we catch a gleam From fancy's plenititude, that once we revelled in. Through the night, yet longing for the day To dawn, vvhen free from sorrow's sway, Life's pleasures bloom, its pain and anguish fade In hope's fulfilment, so we press our way. Still through the night we grope, but were the watchers blind, Who {from the faith's battlements can sce the dawn outlined, What then would help us to await the day When right will evil sweep, like chaff before the wind, Then through the night, above earth's anguished wai .

The non- seeing were taught by raised let- ters and given vocational training and attention best suited to them, The semiseeing were organized into classes according to their visual condition and with the result that some could be taught and with at. tention to the eyes better vision created also, Better vision being attained through teaching them how to assist and so conserve what they had and as 1 mentioned hefore vo- cational work and especially hand and touch work so that the eyes need not unnecessarily strain them- selves, (Continued next week.)

NORMAN M'LEOD (Continued from page 1) It seems safe to dismiss the ai- guments, extremely scanty if per ceivable at all, of two groups op posing the National Government --the so-called New Party, and the Communists, Dritishers, as o whole, have neither time nor pati- ence to spend seriously thinking of the claims of either of these two minute minority groups. But the Labour party, speaking for tens of thousands of people whose lot, either by their own or others' offorts, should bg a happier one in life, is leading the attack against what it belleves to he an unjust policy. And the main point at is- sue has really been 'cuts or no cuts." Old and new political the- ories are also to the forefront, but as these observations will be read long after the main issue is settled, probably some account of interesting and amusing incidents I have seen will be more enjoyed at this time. A noticeable and entirely re- zrettable feature of the campaign has been the widespread out- | break of "hooliganism" at certain meetings, Those guilty of it have done themselves immeasurable harm, because they are the most strenuous exponents of free gpeech. Truly, it is a bit beyond the power of one pair of lungs to guarantee delivery of a speech to an audience, who at any moment may send, by the aerial route, a chair----just as a little bouquet for the speaker. There is not much that a speaker can do if he faces a hostile mob who are intent upon rendering, every few minutes, in none too harmonious tones, {The Red Flag". And it is a bit discon certing, a minute or two later, to have one's argument broken by the jolly and rousing strains of: "You're no the maun for us a ta' Gang awa, bonnie laddie, gang awa." A speaker beging a reasoned argument about the steel industry ~'"Aye, but we canna eat steel; we want grub.,""--and that is the signal for the chorus leader to start up another rousing song-- "Neil McLean's goin' back in" (Tune--""Will ye no come back again,") A few moments later Lord Beaverbrook arrives, but af- ter thirty-five minutes on the plat. KEEN OBSERVER form, during which time I heard him for about four minutes, he gave up and the meeting broke in disorder, And outside, from a huge crowd, a Communist got, a perfect hearing until the later hours of the night, It is not to be wondered that thoughtful people ask in seriousness if the Britisher has not for the moment lost his sense of fair play. It is also very regrettable to note that a form of this same "hooliganism" is under. mining respect for clean sport, Dut the smoke of battle and the din of conflict will clear away and these wonderfully fine people will not do anything to besmireh a ¢nod name which anyone might proudly bear, A great privilege was mine un- expectedly last week when I was invited to spend the evening as the guést of "Jimmie" Maxton, the Independent Lahour candidate and member in the last House for one of the fifteen divisions of this city. Ho fis the recognized lender of the "Clydeside Five," who now are estranged from the Labour Party proper. I had a most cordial reception from Mr, Max- ton, himself once a teacher,-- went with him in his car to his meetings and enjoyed & very in. teresting chat later in the even- ing. His hospitality he further showed by inviting two of . us (Canadians) to a big Labour Ral. ly later in the week, and when' we arrived at the hall, no seat hut the ones to hig right on the platform were good enough for two visitors from Canada, Tt was an experience of a life-time, Im- mediately in front of us, deliver- ing fifteen-minute speeches, stood Maxton, thre "Pirate Chief" whose every lineament and gesture is a poser for character gtudy; "Geor- gle" Buchanan--the plain, hard. headed, good-hearted working man; Dave Kirkwood, the Clyde- #ide thunder-storm, who roared to one of his interrupting oppon- ents In the last House--"'8it ye doun,"; John McGovern, expelled from the last House and at pres- ont under arrest for leading the recent Glasgow riots; and Ste- vens, at one time n clergyman, hut lately, with the others, a champion of Lahour in the House, My readerg will eansilv visualize the thrill of the stranger permit- ted to see and enjoy such a meet- ing. Another great sight was the magnificent meeting addressed by Stanley Baldwin, This England' 1igl'shman was at his best and a fighting speech revealed un- takably, that the man, who ore polities loves his pipe and pigs, commands the utmost ect and confidence of many 0 think that fn hands such as the country's destinies are re, A striking feature of the meet- ng was the seconding of the vote of thanks by Maxton's opponent, a young lady of 23--a graduate Ph.D., last spring, of Aberdeen In a most charming and wonder- fully effective speech she earned an ovation almost the equal of that accorded, the distinguished visitor, And maybe with that feature one might mention one more. The meeting began at 7.30 pm. It was all over by 8.45, And the Britisher just went home to his inevitable cup of tea at 9.80 p.m. Politics and shoutings might rend the alr but why miss a eup of tea? 1 must trespass no further, Mr, Editor, upon your kind indul- gece, On the eve of the polling day I await with keenest interest the conclusion of the great drama whieh it has been my inestimable privilege to have witnessed, With very kindest regards, Yours truly, NORMAN MCLEOD, Glasgow, October 26, HOUSE WRECKED, WOMAN SLEEPS ON Yarmouth, Nova Scotia.---Al- though a hoit of lightning wreck- ed every room in the house except the one in which she was sleep- ing, Mrs. Maria Hilton of Kelly's Cove, Yarmouth County, remained undisturbed. until neighbors told Ler that her house was on fire, A violent electric storm passed over the village and Mrs. Hilton's house was struck between seven and eight o'clock, The bolt struck the roof and went through the building, west to east, creating heavy damage and leaving flames in its train, Ir ---- A baker never attempts to make bread unless he kneads it, Actor "On my first appearance liere people stormed the box office."
