editorial in view or the fact hat ihcf wardecimated so largely the man power of the world conservation of our resources was never so necessary as today dur ing the war wc have necessarily been wasteful as all considerations of expense were subordinated to one supreme object but this waste not only cannot con tinue it must be rrtude good so far as possible people must learn to conserve if canada is to maintain her position as a thriving prosperous country indications point to fair probability of arriving a reasonable settlement of the irish home rule pro blem in the near future parliamentarians say the irish bill will be the feature of the new session of par liament the cabinet is now considering a bill drafted on imea of dominion homo rule but with suggested alternatives that any county may stand out or ulster counties be included and have their own secretary of stale labor leaden declare that prohibition has grc4tl assistfftuin the task of maintaining order during indus trial disputes surely the people of this province are not going to return to the open bar by voting yes on the rofcrendura the advantages of the war measure arc so apparent that many who were impress ed by the cry of infringement on personal liberty have upon fuller consideration became converts to the present ontario temperance act it is worth while to keep it in force and effect the pay envelope is a vital feature of every work ing mans experience a pay envelope crammed with 75000000 is not an unwclome thing to receive even if it is for a years work this is the amount of wages earned by canadian investors in the victory and other war loans rather it i3 the amount earned by their money close to half of this amount is to be distributed to the fortunate investors either on november i or december i just in nice time to be rcinvested in bonds of victory loan 1010 people gel ahead financially not by spending interest re turns on everyday things but by setting the returns back to earn more interest money placed that way rolls up like a snowball 24 years the same gfood tea redrose teais good tea sold only in sealed packages it was naturally to bo expected that trade depres sion in the dominion would have followed the armis tice but this wa3 averted by the application of a large proportion of the last victory loan as credits to great britain and our allies for grain dairy produce flajujumber and ships these credits were absolutely necessary and strictly good business they must be continued they are national rein vestments the debtswill be paid eventually and in the meantime industrial and agricultural workers will be kept in busy andjucrative erapfoyment i the present estimated value of tho railways of canada is two billion dollars thatoes not include the street railways which are valued mne hundred and sixty millions canals are worth one hundred and twenty three millions shipping thirtyfive mil lions telegraphs ten millions and telephones ninety- five millions theseutilitics are a portion of the security for the victory loan 1010 the estimates are made by dr p h coats director of the dotn inion bureau or statistics at ottawa he places the total q the national wealth and income of canada at 19002788125 the necessity for thrift is everywhere manifest these days saving is not always looked upon how ever as a saving grace if it were there would not benvcr five per cent of the inhabitants of the united himdprtrbahly an equally large percentage of canadians who are dependent upon public charity during tho past five years practically all commodity prices have risen steadily yet vast sums in the aggre gate are now being spent for goods that the pur chasers could very well do without the production qf luxuries requires the labor of thousands of men and the use of capital and materials that could be turned to better account in producing and distribut ing necessaries it is surely obvious that such need less expenditures influence in a marked degree the trend of prices in general no rightthinking nation or individual desires to become a pauper but to avoid such a fate thrift is a prime essential at no other time in the history of canada has thriftiness been more imperative at no other timo has prodigality been so much the rule the time has come when our municipal authorities must take action to prevent violations of the motor vehicles act in this town violations by excessive speed nonobservance of the road rules neglect to carry lights etc have gone on with impugnity for years it was stated long ago that it would require a serious accident to stir up those responsible for the administration of the law that accident occurred on saturday of last week to an elderly resident of crewsons corners on one of our main streets the brutal perpetrators of the accident drove off without paying any attention to the extent of tho injuries they caused it is clearly a positive duty of the council without any further delay to appoint officers with authority and instructions to enforce rigidly the pro visions of the law the magistrates of acton are quito ready to receive and act upon all informations for violation of the motor vehicles act they can not impose penalties unless informations are laid and evidence forthcoming a few examples made would soon teach motorists that the law must bo observed and the danger to children and the pifblic generally would be thereby greatly lessened i the people of acton regard the waterworks pro ject with genuine interest and few but favorable comments are heard respecting tho councils decision to submit the question to the voters of the town on the 31st inst it is generally felt that tho installation of an adequate waterworks system will bo of incal culableadvantage to acton it will at once give a prestige of decided commercial and financial advan age we have suffered for years from tho lack of this modern and very necessary municipal utility waterworks will proyide householders with good water for all household purposes conveniently at hand will enable them to put in modern conveniences which add greatly to the comfort of tho home will safeguard the water supply m case of an epidemic will be available to manufacturers who would not otherwise entertain any proposal for settling in acton and per hap most important will give protec tion to property from serious losses by fire a fire might sweep the town any day which would cause losses ffeegroaerl in tho aggregate than tho entire cost of a waterworks system ah progressive citizens favor tho waterworks project those who have tho advantages of rural free de livery with personally owned boxes for their mail would confer a favor upon the mail carriers and the general public who desire to call at their farms if they would keep their names legibly stencilled on the mail boxes the tame of each person on the rural routes was carefully painied on his box when it was supplied by tho government more than this a sten cil tearing the name which appeared on the box was enclosed with the other fittings in driving along any of ohr highways it is observed that many of the rural rout i patrons have grown careless for many of the names are not decipherable a small brushful of paint over the stencil would brighten up the name then thcrewould be no guesswork by the carriers and people driving along tbe farms would be able readily to identify the owners next monday the important- flection of the tern perance referendum takes place a most important duty devolves upon every elector if barrooms and liquor stores are to be kept out of acton there is but one way in which this can be assured mark an x in the no column opposite each of the four ques tions on the ballot father as you look in the bright eyes of that fine growing son of yours dare you vote to put the temptations of the barroom and of the liquor store in his way mother with such a heart of love for your children and all children can you conscientiously shirk your responsibility of casting your vote against the great and insidious evils of th liquor traffic elder brothers and sisters when you recall your recollections of the misery and want and wickedness of the liquor traffic in the past can you do otherwise on the 20th than vote to protect the kiddies and assure them the continued comforts of a happy home plenty of clothing and abundance of wholesome food let us all vote four xxxx in the no column of the ballot and banish the drink evil forever h s arkell live stock commissioner who has recently returned from a trip to europe where he has reviewed the live stock market situation has express ed hb views regarding canadas position in the octo ber number of the agricultural gazette he states that tbe london agents of our canadian packers re viewed in disappointment the orders for canadian goods bacon eggs etc for which they could obtain but a tenth of the product they required the un warranted high price of hogs in canada during the past month is but a reflection on the reputation of canadian bacon as compared with american and demonstrates the effort of our packers to maintain their connection with old established clients in the face of short supplies since denmark within a year will again be a factor on the bacon market our only security for the future is full production ant such a substantial export supply as must command recognition by its volume and quality short hog production is unquestionably the most dangerous policy canada can adopt this is true of eggs as well as bacon referendum notes members of the liberty league may feel that theyre at liberty to say any blamed thing they like so long as they can get sway with it toronto star this province cannot ignore the fact that drunken ness increased in quebec after the lightwineand beer system was introduced and spirituous liquors shut out there being no less than two thousarid cases of drunkenness in montreal in five months ex change there is only one way to make certain that king alcohol and his court shall not be restored to power in this province and that is to give such a big ma jority of nos to every question on tho referendum ballot paper ttjat the next legislature will have no difficulty whatever in realizing that public opjnion is determined to keep ontario dry the globe in the belief that liquor has done a great deal of evil and that organized society has temporized with it too long we advocate prohibition and urge the peoplo to go to the polls and vote four resounding noes on election day a sweeping verdict is what the case calls for whatever steps are necessary afterwards to give effect to public opinion will follow in due course star the government at ottawa is prepared to make prohibition bonedry in this or any other province that declares its will in the matter tho first step is for the province of ontario to make an overwhelm ing declaration for prohibition in the vote on the 20th inst the next step will be for the federal govcrnment to see that the will of the province is not flouted by a liquor trade operating from beyond its borders exchange the grand outstanding fact in this controversy is that the world has enough to do at present to feed and clojhe everybody without besotting itself with foolish drink wasting substance money time happi ness and everything on drink there is no question of holy willies as some impertinent person called the prohibitionists the iibertywhiners arc a laugh ingstock tad an anachronism canada cannot afford to be foolridden
