characteristic speech at sheffield on thursday called upon the british people to sec that the- peace was a real peace it is not the british habit he said to nag harry insult and trample a bleeding foe- so long as germany conforms to the conditions we have laid down we must give her a clear chance to lead a decent peaceable and honor able existence this is in the interests not merely- of germany but or great britain and the whole woyjd this splendid spirit is worthy of emulation it breathes forth the principles of christian human ity and the whole world will indeed be benefitted by carrying this spirit into effect in the house of commons when the question of continuing to permit the sale of oleomargarine in canada was up for dascusston mr crerar supported the government bill for olcmarganoe on the ground that the canadian farmer should male good enough batter to ace competition at home as it faced com petition m every other country of the world he assured ontario farmers that oleomargarine would not destroy their industry no country in the world in proportion to its size exported so much butter as denmark and yet denmark permitted the manufac ture and importation of oleomargarine the laboring class want oleomargarine because it is more in keep mg with their income and the high cost of living the veteran the official paper of the g w v a sixes up matters about tight when it says when highwaymen of the road stage a robbery of some seventy thousand t dollars the police and detective forces of two provinces are loosed on their trail big rewards are offered for their capture and a real man bunt is conducted when highwaymen of com merce put over a profiteering deal which takes toll from every widow in the country and runs into hun dreds of thousands of dollars society extends the glad hand and bemoans the fact that titles have been abolished profiteers would undoubtedly soon find their levels if the authorities got after them with the same vim as they do after the qrjinary common place robber judging from the statement of bank clearings for the last month canada is doing an unprecedented amount of business the clearings advanced 40 per cent over september of last year which itself was a largd month all sections of the country shared in the advance of business some cities doing double tho trade of september 1018 many quite remark able

this and in the interests of them selves and the country arc being urged to press the importance of the coming loan upon every one with whom they come in contact our electors have just had the

i tvli there is an impression in some quarters that the fotal amount of money invested by subscribers in the victory loan 1010 will be subject to taxation this imptession is erroneous it will be the interest only from the investment that will be taxed not the principal invested as a matter of fact very few investors in the new loan will be brought within the scope of the income war act by reason of invest meats in victory bonds with small investors the law does not become effective under 2 000 in the case or married persons or persons with dependents municipalities and fraternal societies will not be subject to taxation in their investments in the loan at all the interest from the bonds will not be more taxable than ordinary income subject to the general law of the land canada 7s evidently well able to purchase her own victory bonds a total of 1106032 031 in savings bank deposits is a gratifying report that many of the countries which have emerged rrom war would be glad to report today this is the position of canada as revealed in the bank statement for august the amount is 181021060 better than the same month last year notwithstanding the fact that a good part of it was transferred to last years 600000000 vic tory loan and is 21540788 better than july or this year this is a promising outlook tor the victory loan campaign which is at present being carried on ir the depositors in canadas savings banks were to say the word they could subscribe the 300 000000 asked nearly four times over the success of the present effort should be overwhelming the agitation throughout the labor world for shorter hours and larger pay is naturally bound to militate against the much desired reduction in the cosfof living if shorter hours and higher wages are to prevail the law of economics render it abso lutcly imperative that the cost of living shall increase in like ratio the workmen is worthy of his hire and should be paid the highest possible wages by all industries but there must be a commcnsarate amount or production on their part and this cannot be assured by a reduction or the hours of work per day or week an intelligent farmer said the other day what would become or the country ir we worked only rorty rour hours a week ho adds i dont see why a man except in real heavy work should not workten hours a day work was intended to keep a man straight if a lot or men had more work there would not be so much devilment in your cities the action or the legislature in extending the fran chtso to women was fully justified in the record of ballots cast at the elections on monday there was no jack of interest on the part of lady voters nor did their natural timidity cause them to refrain from thbi exercise of their franchise fully as many women visited the polls and cast their votes as men they manifested just as intelligent an interest as the men in the vote as to whether the liquor traffic was to be rcms tailed in ontario or relegated to oblivion their interest was more keen and aggres sive inasmuch as the evil effects of this insidious and unnecessary traffic has touched with more bone ful results the women and the children and tne home in the election of members or parliament and the pronouncement on all public issues the women have as keen discernment and as wise judgment as the men who have monopolized the franchise in all the years of the past time will amply prove the truth or this assertion the betterment of canadas future depends largely upon the influence or tho women at the ballot box some at least of germanys leaders arc beginning to realize kuitur as interpreted and acted upon was a grave and disastrous error prof edward meyer the famous historian in his inaugural address as rector or the uuiverstiy or berlin last week said germany s much vaunted organization fell down badly in the war while the allies improvised organ in t ion accomplished much we must not be blind to the faults in the structure or our state ror which we have paid so heavy a penalty said he the execs sive extension or our organization through wul killing schematism and endless red tape does away with respectablity breeds an incompetent ambition- less class and will not permit merit and ability to come lo the top while in their seeming superiority our bureaucracy and organization seduced us into smiling boast fulness and needlessly brusque and blundering behavior in reality our system was not equal to the tremendous task imposed on it either during the jfmr or at present our enemies with their improvised organization giving free play to persons of superior ability accomplished far more than- we could prof meyer added that germany s collapse eclipsed all catastrophes in history even the downfall of carthage and athens t mild
