wherein it ta ahovrtitbat mr baxter of burlpaktbn vas thccaudidatoeiecwd we must admit that we are disappointed at this result for we folly expect that acton and her worthy representative would this year be honored as they both deserved as we stated last week although acton has been incorporated thirteen yews and always supplied during that time a roan of honor and ability at the county council she has never had the plea sure of seeingher member occupy the chief chair burlington on the other hand in corporated in the same year as acton is i now in possession of the wardenaliip for the third time and every other munici- polity in the county has also had a similar mark of distinction this i considered an outrage on our municipality by tho citi zens it is titie very essence of unfairness andwocan hardly blame them if thoy feel disposedto advise their representative in cbnsequencertioleave his chair vacant at the county council board for the present year at last had acton persisted in send ing incompetent men to the couutul there mighthave been some excuse for the treat ment received but she has not- her re presentatives have been recognized as men occupying no second place either in the council or in the community the whole secret is that they have always happened to he more or less prominently idehtitied with tho conservative party in examining tho various ballots one would naturally come to the conclusion that there was considerable childs play about the elections but such was not the case the repeated ballots with the scat tcred voting was the result of a series of cun ning wire pulling and lobbying for political ends hy one of the political parties and also with a view by some members to en deavor ifjwssible to cover up their pro- mises voluntarily made thus is proved again that the exigencies of party politics compel men to dishonest actions and iu this case secured the election of a man whose personal claims did not deserve to be entertained and whe municipality could in no wise reasonably or honorably expect the office to be conferred on this occasion had mr storey not relied upon the promises of certain reform members who voluntarily offered to support him if he offered himself as a candidate he would never have entertained the idea of present- ing himself for election he looked upon these members as honest and sincere in their proffered support some of them failed to fulfil their promises and hist defeat was the inevitable result in justiceto mwsrs l lindsay and menzies it should bs stated that they supported actons candidate throughout we are considerably surprised that one of the members of our own township conn- csresidihg in proximity to acton and whose interests are identical with our own 1 should withhold his support from our representative principally on political grounds of course he violated no pro mises by his action but we reasonably looked for acton to receive his con sideration and wilug supportl well mr storey has failed to receive 1 j the wardeasbip but after all he is better off from many points of view he has lost the tionor but- will be saved much troublo inconvenience and loss of time which in the management of his extensive and continually increasing business are important considerations and while he will not occupy the desired office he has the satisfaction of knowing that he- was the

260j si tmwm candidates w the sgott act it is rumored that the ontario govern ment is contemplating the establishment of a bureau whose functions it shall be to aasist in enforcing the law in those coun ties- which have adopted the scott act and thattbe charge of that bureau will be placed in the hands of a gentlemen in whom the friends of that act will have confidence there- is probability also that officers will be appointed to en force thelaw in each scott act county or group of counties for scott act purposes who wiirtiot be amenable to local iuflu- enbes upon these officers will be thrown the responsibility of detecting and punish ing offenders against the law if these rumors are true and they appear tb have excellent foundation each a step will meet with popular approval because however much public opinion may be divided as to the wisdom of adopting the cott act these can be no division of opinion a to the fact that ffie public interests demand its enforcement when ouce adopted the obstaclesthrown into tho way of the friends of the scott act by the dominion govern ment liave made the former despair of ob- taiuing courteous treatment much less justice in that
