canvass to date indi catcs that his objective will be reached every good citizen should assist in law enforcement the disconcerting prevalence of crimc over this north american continent is becoming a serious problem the frequency with which cortain rascals violate the laws about making and selling liquor has drawn special attention to this matter but bootleg- iog is by no mean9 the only symptom of a dangerous laxity on the part of the community toward a strict and determined enforcement of law one of the chief causes of existingconditions is the apathy and indifference of the people toward law enforcement why this indifference houd exist it would bo difficult to determine but that it does exist others besides magistrates and lawyers have observed thursday morning october 18 1023 editorial perpetual care of plots at fairview cemetery this- is no new topic to these columns frequent ly has the desirability of adopting the plan of per petual care of plots in fairview cemetery been set forth very often have citizens and others owning plots and friends of dear ones interred there given expression to their approval of the adoption of this plan and voiced the hppe that it would be effected by the town some have gone so fr as to contribute money for this purpose and the municipal council has accepted these sums and placed them in a special fund to be devoted especially to the end referred to but up to this date no action has been taken toward the adoption of the plan desired a reputable citizen suggested to the free press a few days ago that the object desired might be accomplished if it were made a feature at the clecjtipns that might be but it would be a much better culmination of the matter if the council would take steps toward that end before the election campaign as previously sug gested a joint committee of members of the council and of citizens would accomplish what is desired if given tho opportunity and power it must be mani fest that this personnel for a perpetual plan ceme- tary committee is preferable to a committee ofjnem- bera of a council alone inasmuch as an element of permanence must be sought in such a committee many sincerely hope this action will be promptly taken by the council so that organization may be effected and plans formulated for commencing work in earnest early next spring if this is done fairview may be made a place of beauty with all plots and walks and drives uniformly cared for and put in the condition which all so much desire the future peace of europe depends upon attitude of american republic i in all his public utterances during bis visit to ttits continent lloyd george tho wartime premier of great britain both in new york and in canada bas emphatically declared that it is strictly up to the united states to determine when world peace shall become a fact instead of a desired ideal going a step further in his first remarks in the westj this intrepid british statesman in discussion of bis plan for peace insurance by an unwritten compact between the british empire and the american republic ex pressed the belief that great britain and all her dominions are ready today for an understanding with the united states which in his opinion would mean that no aggressor nation would ever are a gun because britain would crush economically and if need- be by military force any warlike power or group that daned threaten world peace america therefore must speak before this plan can become operative that it will eventually bo the means to bring back world peace andthen preserve it he has no doubt the first step in tho direction of american willingness for such cooperation lies in the hughes proposal on reparation the hughes plan if carried out would simply restore the original basis of hand ling the reparations question he declared until that question is settled there can be no peace that basis waa destroyed when the united states rejected tho versailles treaty lloyd george stresspd again tho fact thathis proposed understanding for preserv ing worldpcace would not be an offensive or defen- sive alliance or in fact an alliance of any sort just lot them know bo said that america and the british empire arc inagreement that peace must be preserved and peace would bo preserved thai is all thereis to it the speaches made by lloyd george are being eagerly followed by press arid peopje throughout the united states tho new york herald said the other day in case- of another wa in europe great britain would not bo able to hold aloof that means that canada will march again fqr where the brttsh empire is seriously threatened there the dominion will bo found even though there be no compulsion in equation and that tilings the armament raoe rather closer to the united states than it has been heretofore what hurts can ada hurts the united states indirectly whatever hinders the progressive economic development of canada injures our own econbmic development so closely knit together are these two nations it will surely soon be borne in upon the political leaders of the american republic that upon the grounds oi economic conditions equity of national nesporisibility t and humanitarian claimsthat country musrunite in her influence with grel britain and her dominions to ensure a real peace canadas billion bushels of wheat oats and barley canada takes a new record position in the pro duction of grain this ycai with an aggregate of nearly a billion bushels of cereals wo occupy a unique and gratifying position tho final prop report of the bank of montreal for the season summing up the result obtained in the various provinces of the dominion makes encouraging reading it shows that despito lateness of tho season yields that must be considered

quebec liquor through rumrunning and lawbrcaktng over the boundary wall has aroused the people of the state of vermont to a high pitch of resentment the bur lington free press tho leading daily of the state in a twocdlurhn editorial the other day suggests a boycott of all quebec exportations of farm pro ducts and other merchandise and says vermont ii tired of having her roadstransformed into an under ground railroad for canadian rumrunners and her highways made unsafo for summer tourists by ships that pass in the night the burlington paper suggests that if tho mothers of america will take quebec in hand they could do more in one year with their boycott of quebecs exports to that country than all uncle sams diplomats and other polite emissaries can possibly do in decades tho following note to quebec would it says do wonders provinco of quebec until you stop prevent ing the enforcement on the international boundary of the laws and statutes of our con stitution of the united states

willing to reciprocate trade with you but we must first guard hot only our boys but also our daughters and our homes yours gently but firmly tho mothers of america the burlington free press continues quebec for mere money is trying to break down the work of american mothers in protecting their homes she shall not triumph american motherhood will yet bring quebec to her knees in humble supplication and her pwn provincial sisters will help american mothers to reform quebec wonder if quebecs premier will again boost without blushing or the amount of profit his province is making out of the whiskey business after bo reads the very logical leader of the burlington free press editorial notes this is tho time of year when every boiiyskould get into some helpful community activity there are too many
