seriously that the members or the county council were in dignant at the way you abused them over the vote on money to tho muslcoka hospital that can be readily understood no man who ever made a fool of himself mkes to hear about it but what struck us as peculiar was the use of the word abuse can it be that the public servants elected by the votes of their constituents to do the will of those constitu ents should get so autocratic and imperious that they become intolerant of a littlo criticism all is ton herald some towns still struggling with soldiers monument problems the towns of onllia and newmarket turned down bylaws to provide for the erection of soldiers monu ments by way of explanation of the defeat of the proposal in newmarket the era says in the first fptace many voters thought the proposition was too indefinite the war veterans were opposed to a monument and wanted the money put into some thing useful as well as ornamental others thought tfiat the taxes were high enough without such ex penditure then the era adds evidently patriot ism and sacrifice were not considered when it affected tho pocket book- what would the taxes be today had germany woo the war the obligation is still to be paid oakviue council opening a social function otffcvillc is evidently aiming to give its council sessions attractive features the local press reports that at the opening session last week council chamber was nicely decorated with flags and flowers and there were also button bole bouquets for each of the councillors and press reporters there were the usual new year greetings from ex mayor c h cross to each membemf the council and a box of fine cigars from the bank of toronto the audience included quite a number of ladies among the interest ed electors a new feature was introduced into the inauguration ceremonies this year and through the generosity of mayor forster tho councillors town officials and press reporters were invited to a civic luncheon which proved to bo one of the delightful chicken dinners for which tho gibson grill has bo- come famous now if kcevo barber would intro duce something of this nature there would always be n for seats at tho council board sir henry thornton is now predicting that the canadian national hallways will show a net profit of 15000000 this year recently sir henry predic- cd the railway would get on a profitable basis in three years tho prospects arc- evidently growing better and better in every way every day it is said that tho labor parties dry tendencies are feared by the liquor trade of great britain this is a different story to that we often hear from the liquor people on this side if labor people begin to think seriously tho liquor interests may well stand in fear of their policy two names arc now prominently mentioned for the office of warden of hal ton namely george hillmer m p p reeve of oakviue and george barber reeve of acton so that no matter which is chosen george will be warden t milton

billboards and a one sided press that prohibition is a failure in tho united states and have temporarily succeeded in keeping them from voting dry but they feel the pressure of their spending they are now commencing to complain of having to fight local option every three years pioneer one of tho reasons urged for tho repeal of pro hibition legislation is the number of violations of law under this act men do not reason this way however with regard to other laws it is said that over one thousand arrests were made m cincinnati in one month for violation of tho traffic laws guard ing human life and property yet wo do not hear of any demand for tho repeal of these laws presby terian witness ontario had 61109 acddenta las yepr stands out ii the history o compensa tion in this province as tfie

costing six million dollars u year plus lost pro duction and lost wuges which may easily double that figure most accidents are preventable a little care a little forethought u little common sense will
