possibility of opposition from this source in any rural constituency is rather strong wbilo in the cities labor and soldiers have to be figur ed on these considerations promise to loom pretty largo when arrangements aro mado for the bye- elcctions tho socalled liberty league of toronto ia the best example of disloyalty to lasf and order wo have mot with for some time some of tho articles sent out to the press aro most absurd and givo tho whole situation away if thoy imagine the staid sturdy moral loving folk of canada aro to bo caught on their guff they aro duller than we think they are-u- brussels post there is no official intimation yet with regard to dominion prohibition and anything along that line which is brought in doubtless will be of tho tentative character of last sessions legislation- sir robert bordens remarks when opposing tho senates amend ment are construed as evidence of intention to intro- duce tho subject anew at tho coming session if the dominion house takes this question up again earnest there is no doubt effective legislation will bo enacted canadians aro evidently a patient and longsuffer ing people the sugar aborts go is being felt in all parrs of the country both in canada and the united states in washington the maximum price of sugar has been fixed at eleven cents per pound at ottawa last week wholesale grocers in convention predicted that sugar would soar to twenty cents a pound why should there be this unfavorable difference against canadian consumers if the powers at ottawa would take action as has been done at washington cana dians wonld not be bled so freely by the profiteers the rapidly increasing number of motor cars and trucks in use on the streets is demanding the more effective enforcement of traffic bylaws most of our larger townsand cities have parking restrictions for motor cars but as theso rules are oot closely ob served cars stand for long periods on tho streets this is an extremely dangerous practice especially if building construction in progress confines tho thoroughfare to a narrow limit when municipali ties make bylaws for this or any other protection of the public they are responsible for seeing that they are carried out the best time to secure their enforcement is before an accident hon n w howell the minister who will bo in charge of tho new federal department of publ health for which provision was mado in a bill passed by parliament at tho last session states tht good progress is being made jn connection with tho orgoni zation of the new department the first step in con ncction with the bringing l tho department into existence will be the taking over of tho various de partiflents up to the present time under the control nl various ministers as provided for by the act this department should mean much for the future be fer ment of the health of tho people of canada president wilson has found he could not have his own way in the matter or daylight saving after all last week the senate passed the bill repealing the daylight savings law over the presidents veto the vote was 57 to 10 the repeal bill now is law as the houso also passed it over tho presidents veto tho representatives of the people evidently knewbettor than the president tho wishes of tho country this action will mean that canada will not be harrassed again with this troublesome scheme people will after this summer have one standard time and mis understandings through the daylight savings experi ments will cease at the last seesion of tho dominion parliament amendments to tho criminal code dealing with the fire waste were passed at the recommendation of the dominion fire prevention committee and following up tho suggestions of tho commission of conserva tion as contained in the report fire waste in can ada the amendments place the responsibility for outbreaks or fire and for failure to provide proper apparatus for tho extinguishing of fire or the escape of persons in tho buildings j case of fire under this act any person upon whose premises fire occurs is deemed to have caused the fire by negligence if he has failed to comply with any regulations designed to prevent fire noncompliance is the proof of negli gence and this is a question of fact to be determined by a jury notification of a breach of the law is not provided for as every person is presumed to be familiar with the law penalties and imprisonment are both provided for canadas welcome to the prince of wales is as sincere as it is enthusiastic and spontaneous our royal guest brings us all into close and living touch with the british crown which symbolizes so emphati cally tho union of the colonics dominions and far- removed lands and races of the empire the prince of wales is especially welcome at this time following so closely the return home of our brave men who went so willingly in defence of the empire when their aid and support were so urgently needed no one appreciates more fully this phase of our relationship to the motherland than prince edward and ho has been generous in his expressions of appreciations re ports everywhere agree that he is a clean wholesome youth possessed of courage industry a high sense of duty and a splendid insight into the character and aspirations of the canadian people his tour from the atlantic to tho pacific will give him a more intelligent and comprehensive insight into the im portance and versatility of this important star in the british crown prince edward canada welcomes you ten tnilhoncitixen3welcomoyou with admirable frankness premier hearst at the meeting at brant ford on saturday placed himself on recorq as unqualifiedly in favor of the ontario tem perance act and a dry ontario he said the gov ernment of which 1 am the head were tho authors of the ontario temperance act 1 have stood by it from its inception and will stand by it until its fate is decided by the free vote of the electors of tho pro vince in our countrys hour of peril when the fate of civilization hung in the balance the ontario tem perance act in my humble opinion added to the fighting strength of t our province in tho days of unrest of turmoil and reconstruction through which wo are passing the act i believe is a source of safety and strength and that its repeal or any weak cning of its provisions wo bid be unwise what proved a source of strength in tho days of war and is proving a aourso of safety in tho days of reconstruc tion will i believe prove a boon and a blessing in the days of peace and prosperity to which w are hope- fully looking for this frank courageous position premier hearst has von great prestige his position s dofltiito and unequivocal it will meanmuch in the securing of an overwhelming majority for pro hibition at the rcfcjreodum election i the interest in good roads is growing all over the country and the new policy of the american forestry association to link together the causes of good roads and forestry is certain to be be received as good news the association is advocating tho setting out of trees along tho public roads as memorials to the soldiers the trees will be of great benefit to the roads and that method of honoring the soldiers seems peculiarly appropriate just think of a beautiful growing tree by tho side of a wellkejit highway and a marble slab near the tree giving tho name and other infor mation of some soldier who gave his life for the prtn ciples of democracy and justice the trees will also add to the pleasure of driving along the roads the suggestion should be extensively carried out nash ville advocate a new scheme to encourage bouse building is proposed in oakville a group of builders who plan to erect fifteen or twenty residences in that town at a cost of 5000 to 8000 each ask exemption from taxes on these new houses for a year it is reported that oakville town council looks with favor upon the proposal that may be all right fof oakville where matters are now valued largely on the basis of toronto transactions jmt most ratepayers in f ordin ary towds of oakvilles dimensions would think that the people who can afford to erect 5000 to 8000 houses could reasonably be expected to pa taxes on them from tho outset if it were to encourage the man getting a workingmans wage or a man of small means to build muchneeded houses of a moderate cost tho plan might be considered desirable k south wellington on saturday was added to tho list of constituencies nominating farmers for tho pro vincial legislature john a cockburn was selected to contest tho riding at tho coming provincial elec tion in tho interests of the united farmers of on tario a large proportion of those present were women and a lively interest was taken in the pro ceedings after addresses had been delivered by w a amos of palmeraton and r j mcmillan of seaforth the question of tho desirability of putting a candidate in the field was considered and there was but one dissenting voice out of the nearly coo pre sent mr w mccrae did not think tho time was opportune for the u f o to put a man in the field pointing out hat there would bo 0500 votes in the city against 4600 in the country and they had sot chance to win he suggested waiting until later when it might be possible to combine with the labor interests and secure a man satisfactory to both he was voted down however and nominations were called for the cost of high living is the way the lindsay warder puts it touching the worries of everyday life and there is a good deal of truth in it it says come easy go easy seems to be the rule with all classes of workers old and young alike in our boy hood days a young farm hand received from 650ro 10 a month and the hired man who received 12 a month was an extraordinary worker or possessed of unusual skill in some department or assumed unusual responsibilities about the only holidays wo farmers got were the queens birthday and dominion day after 187 and a day at tho circus if ono came thousands of boys and girls who are now aged men and women spent not more pocket money than 1 or 2 a year no- days it takes that much a week for the modern young man tho fact of the matter is that tho youth of canada is running too much after sports and to having a good time regardless of cost instead of improving their minds and fitting them selves for a life of usefulness and acquiring a com petence for marriage and old age whilo the united state is taking stern and aggres sive measures with profiteers and hoarders of food stuffs seizing and putting upon jhoinjrkett re sonablo prices the abnormal hoardings of sugar butter cheese eggs and meat and punishing with heavy fines and imprisonment the guilty parties what are the authorities of canada doing simply talking of what should bo done evidently afraid or unwilling to take effectivo action against the men who are making u most difficult for tho man of ordinary wages to livo and provide for his family surely it iatimo for canadas men who have the power to wako up and accomplish sorao thing in the way of needed relief the washington authorities are moving vigorously and setting ottawa an example in the effort to reduce tho cost of living which they may vory well follow the wbulo world is protest ing at the high coil of living people generally could however pull down hat coat if they would indulge less in reckless expenditures that often kepp men poor when thoir wages are large many people are buying far more and often uselessly now than they did before the war and are spending more on amusements and smalt luxuries than they did some years ago it is a habit formed during the hush conditions caused by tho war it is well to recognize that it isnt always what wo make but what we spend that counts a sincere effort to observe thrift and oconomy will materially aid the authorities in reduc ing tho cost of living naming a cigar 1 aa ha imillahod hla customers boota a bootblack
