the recent byelection in south waterloo that the gult-preston- hespeler area was the idea location for a new girls industrial school which the ferguson government was ku to establish south waterloo went liberal and hon mr martin now announced that the school will be located at bowmanville it is suspected that the veiled promises were for election purposes only daily star wonder how the hon mr martin will square r and his conscience with this succes sion of alluring promises and to think that he was a preacher not so very long ago keeping canada safe the promptness and alertness with which the toronto police force wont at the business of round- ing up a couple of criminnls who murdered one of the force has been the subject of much praise from the toronto press and the press in other commun ities the best deterrent to crime is a realization by the criminal that he is not going to get away with it and will eventually be caught too great protection cannot be afforded the police who risk their lives daily in order to make the land safe for lawabiding citizens to reside in and carry on the ordinary business pursuits sympathy with the criminal must be limited and a sympathetic helpful ness extended to the guardians of peace in the per formance of a duty which makes canada a safe place to live in a local farmerh views of farm troubles at the annual convention of the united farmers of ontario in toronto last week mr a g m bruyns of limehouse krvo a very interesting address on the farm situation as it affects the crisis mr bruyns lecture was u careful study of the problems which affect the farmers and in turn have an effect on the conditions of the whole country his dis- rirrarmricr3itonicte blcms and is difficult to grasp or make intelligent comment upon in a brief editorial article but the final paragraphs and summing up by mr bruyns give real food for thought and we reproduce them we and other nations are in the vicious circle it should bo the aim of overy canadian to get out of it as soon as possible it is my belief that of all nations irt tho- world first ontario and then great britain have the best chance to work themselves into the virtuous circle if they want to what we can do to promote this is in the first place to impregnate the nation with the idea that all wheels of the economicclock are inteidepcndent that only coordinated effect o all- can mean prosperity sell this idea broadcast it north east south and wost because it is of the greatest importance to every canadian born or un born not before this idea is common property can conditions begin to change dont for a moment believe that the crisis can bo solved by a few govern ment decisions or an act of parliament but do not forget that every orderrincouncil or act of parlia ment every law or bylaw adopted either by the drnnttriorr proviirctnlof- miirricljffllgbvernhieirtsr every resolution or motion by private corporation societies unions or association yes even tivory act or gesture or thought of private persons which takes one or more rails off the fence between tho urban and tho agricultural units means one little step on the udder to a more intensive agricultural system and will automatically bring us iicnrcr to the common goal of ptobpfirlfy all around not the o tla anyway wc dont say that tho liquor control act is responsible for all tho conditions of crime but the fact remains tliat wo arc now operating under that system and there are now 014 prisoners confined in tho portsmouth penitentiary the largest number in tho history of the institution and for the first time in the history of this prison one of the corridors is being used to house the overflow of inmates all the other prisons in canada hqve record enrolments the total population of the penitentiaries in canada is about 3200 at st vincent de paul penitentiary there are 850 prisoners and it is stated that at the stony mountain in manitoba the convicts arc sleep ing in the corridors smaller and smaller mayor we nip of toronto by his advertisements and speeches gives the impression that toronto is solely for torontonians when it comes to giving and it is a known fact that the city has been quite capable oflookiugafteritvelfiuexpanding -and- goiup- after- things in other communities the kingston whig- standard has this to say when one realizes too that toromovwcultli comes very largely from tlut millions ot dollars which pour into its commercial treasury every year fiom all over the province when one also remembers that heud offices of banks and other institutions with branches situated throughout the province contiibute to its federated charities but not to those of other cities in the province one wonders whether mayor wemp has not gone a little out of his way to irritate these cities which one toronto paper once referred to lis out in the pro vince surely tho day is not at hand where tariff barriers arc to be erected about each community we dont believe that mayor wenips appeals and sentiments are held by the majority of toronto people tariff ilita tymltry producers the high tariff imposed by tfie united states against canadian pioducts is causing quite a hard ship among those fanners who raise poultry hei e is what the alliston herald has to say of this condi tion the contention that custom tariffs engender hardships is very true and every man and woman with poultry to sell just now is realizing the truth of this condition but it is the american tariff that is pinching the people of this district apart from politics altogether high tariff advocate and low tariff advocate is being hit without meicy high tariff advocates and free traders if they will but make the inquiry can readily learn that the great stream of poultry which went from canada to the great americ an cities last year is completely shut out this year answering that the american farmer is just as badly off avails nothing it is tfie canadian farmer the alliston farmer who is hit and hit hard the americans will pay a fancy price for their christmas dinners and the canadians will moke themselves sick trying to eat up the surplus poultry when it is cheap no we always liked the idea of trading with the other fellow and allowing him the opportunity of trading with us high tariffs dont seem to benefit the farmers or the buying public o greot deal editorial notes and in just another week the secrets will have all been told and the average small boy and girl will know that they have been well behaved children and santa
