surqly gratifying to tfte majority of the people of both canada and the united states that regulations for the suppression of smuggling be tween the two countries have been approved by both

sufficiently in earnest to make public profession of their abhorrence of pro fanity paraded toronto city streets in a downpour of rain on the last sunday of september the an nual turnout of the holy name society provided concrete proof of the fact that most men are in their hearts ashamed of coarse speech the thousands who paraded in toronto no doubt fail to boast even an approximation toward perfection in the matter of speech but they are manifestly making an effort o do better first of all by cultivating a reverence for the name of their saviour rthat will prevent them from using it as a common oath the members of the holy name society are setting a very worthv example to men generally respecting the ah to glib use of the name of our lord in profane conversa tion how our genera

follows since the- canadian dominions parliament was dissolved mr mackenzie king the liberal prime minister and mr meighen the con servative leader of the opposition have set before the country the principal issues of the general election which is to take place next month of these the forertlost will be whether canada will make n vigorous counterstroke to the eordney tariff by a fotecfibnlsnneasure- raising the duties against im ports frtfrnvthc united states the canadian nation al railways still burdened by the effects of taking over the grand trunk system will bestrenuously used as a stick with which to beat the government the maritime provinces are discontented and very likely to go against the government there has been a great turnover of feeling in them against the conservative party the saddest fact they face is that they are losing population by emigration into theunitcdstates and thcioss is not being made up by immigration from great britain this reduction of the postage rate of canada to countries outside the british empire and the united states is all right w what most of our people would appreciate more would be an announce ment that canadas domestic rate for letters has been reduced from three cents to the prewar rate of two cents the people of western canada are evidently of theopinion that the peak of difficult times has passed and that the prospects are excellent now for contin ued advances along all lines said sir george foster president of the league of nations society of can ada summarizing his impressions after an extended tour of the west frequently there is heard complaint against can ada jpermitting new settlers from the british isles to be admitted to the country these people do not come to canada as paupers great britain assists families settling in the british empire by a cash grant of 1500 it has been agreed that 5000 of such families shall settle in canada this year the united states is being flooded with a sal acious class of magazines which exploit sex emotions and feature lewd stories unfortunately these im moral publications are seeping into canada the moral health of our eountry demands the most care

have crossed the dominion twice and travelled nearly 10000 miles we are returning to our homes deeply imprcco d with the immense re sources of canada we have seen life and condi tions of labor in the

the experience which we havs thus gained will be of inestimable advantage to us in the future it will enable us to set the proper value on items of news from the dominion to refute baseless charges
