accomplished in the administration of public af fairs and in gcnoral in tho methods of government in an interview last week ho prohcsicd the almost total passing of party system in ontario there are few people who honestly cl that the country would the theft of automobiles throughout tho north american continent has grown to largo proportions tho ulcrtness of the police and thofuimerous safety devices invented while in some degree effective have not overcome the cupidity of motor vehicle thieves a new way to discourage these thieves says the youths companion of boston is for tho owner to maka an imprint of his thumb on tho instrument board of the car in such a manner that jt cannot bo removed without defacing the board the owner himself curries a card that bears a duplicate of the thumb print and hies u similar card at police head quarters it is expected that within u week or so tho mem orial cross which canada will uward to the mother or the wife of every soldier who fell in the war will be ready for distribution tho suggestion thatcanada award a alvcr cross to tho mother of every soldier who fell njjihe war originated with mr w a frasc the novelist formerly of georgetown and he ad vanced the idea in a letter to the toronto star which supported it editorially sir sam hughes was minister of militia at the time and ho as well as the prime minister thought well of tho plan but a diffi culty prcscntod itself could a memorial cross bo awarded the mother and not the wife of a soldier ft has how over been decided that the mother of a single soldier wjll receive it arid the wife of a soldier who was married canada rejoices in the wonderful success at tho victory loan subscription which closed last week tho immense sum or 0gi000000 subscribed this year added to tho previous victory loan subscrip tions speaks volumes both for the loyalty and tho financial ability of the people of this dominion but tho very success of the loan demands production and thrift on tho part of the people and tho careful courageous guarding with absolute integrity by the government and especially by the finance ministers who may be in office so thpt the very utmost shall be accomplished with these vast loans which have been entrusted to their custody thrift by tho peoplo and sterling truthworthincss by the federal powers will make for prosperity within canadas borders and insure it a certain und permanent benefit the observations of the qld man of the big clock tower in his column in the issue of last thursday evidently struck a responsive chord tho globe on friday morning said this is no time for building bonfires fuel is needed badly wastage of it is little short of crjminal if the big railways have quantities of wornout ties to dispose of along their lines of repair they should bo required to haul them to nearby distributing points where peoplo wlu are suffering from the general shortage of fuel can have access to them tho dominion railway board and the fuel controller ought to step in at once and put an end to tho wasteful destruction this woe ful waste is not confined to this district it is re ported that on tho canadian pacific and grand trunk railways thousands of cords of wornout tics which might bo used for fuel havo bceqburned in a speech ut the technical school to week hon r h grant the minister of of tho new provincial government related esting incident which took place at tho first of the successful u f o candidates on october 23 hon mrgrntit mi id that as each mow farmer m p p dtood up und spoke in response jo tho roll cal

assure you wo come to you with honest intentions pt least and without tho muni encumbrances of party going into power said the new minister in conclusion if the not government will live up to this policy and the principles enunciated it will bo of great advuutugc to this province seriously suffer if such a condition materializes on the other hand there arc many who believe that the perpetuation of party patronage has cost the couutrt vast sums and the greatest efficiency of service has notbcen attained in an address before the politi cal economy club last week premier drury said blind party sm is canadas national sin tho dominion government hus sot aside 20000- 000 as aid to highway improvement of this amount ontarios proportion will bo nearly 0000000 it will bo granted only to work maintenance of which will be fully guaranteed by the province to earn this amount in five years will require an annual pro vincial expenditure of only 1800000 by the pro vince and will result in an asset of 15000000 valu bn a welldistributed plan of provincial highways the cooperation of township councils county coun cils town and urban councils the provincial high way department with necessary public cooperation and support will undoubtedly place ontario in an cnviablo position as a country of good roads afford ing the farmers the most economical access to their markets and tho general public highways which will create favorable impressions of the province proportional representation and a now system of votingaro among tho changes already announcoa by ontarios new premier hon mr drury says that proportional representation would ensurjsome mea sure of representation to the minorities of the pro vince it would involve the grouping of const tucn- pies as they arc at present constituted under the now system there would probably be four or five candidates to bo elected trom each group of ridings tho voters would not vote with tho traditional x but would vote for tho men in the order of their pre ference thcfvte would bo registered in figures i 2 3 4 etc opposite the namesof the candidates the ones would be- counted first tho twos second and in this way tho successful candidate would bo deter mined it would then bo possible for an elector to vote for several of tho candidates indicating his pre ference by the figure opposite the names ho could select tho most outstanding men from all parties they represented the plan outlined looks as if it might bo worthy of consideration the remarkable success at tho victory loan points to a wonderful development in canadian exports european countries arc still clamoring for canadian products though possibly the need in many cases s not as great as during the early part of the year financing appears to be tho only object in the way of many new orders and now that canadians have raised such an overwhelming amount of cash for various purposes one of tho chief being to extend credits to other countries desirous of buying maje jn canada goods u period of great activity is anti cipated tho success of tho last loan played a won derful role in the stock market when tho now york exchange became panicky and millions of dollars representing paper money were wiped out in a few hours during this exciting period the toronto stock market held remarkably well tho success of tho loan and the uses to which tho money would bo put were discounted by tho in yes tore and stocks were held up tho speculators realizing that hero wus no immediate disastrous change coming vcr canadian industry j a farreaching policy for tho care and control of the mentally defective and feebleminded of ontario is outlined in the report just presented to tho gov ernment by mr justice hodgins who for two ycais past has been devoting himself to a careful study of tho whole problem of tho mentally subnormal in tlu province tho report with evidence and appendices occupies two largo volumes and is regarded as one of tho most important state papers over presented to tho government of ontario tho commissioner makes his recommendations under twenty leadings among the most important of which are a plan of registration covering tho province by which the mentally defective will bo identified and classified the detention in permanent homes or refuges pre ferably of the colony type of mentally defective women of childbearing age and the segregation ii institutions and colonies of both mala and female feebleminded delinquents whoso antisocial quali ties or criminal tendencies show a necessity for per manent
