Kingston, Oct. 21.--(To the Editor): Allow me to call your county readers' attention to another effort on the part of interested persons to prevail on the county council to stop ' foot peddling" in Frontenac. So far the council has made a sorry mess of the peddling question. About two years ago the council stopped. issuing licenses to foot peddlers and declared by a by-law that no more licenses should be issued. This deprived the county of about $500 a year in license fees, without stopping the foot. peddlar from peddling. Be cause the law was one without a penalty and. only prevented the foot peddlar 'getting a license, but did not say he should not peddle. In the past two years the county of Frontenac has lost at least $1,000 in license fees that might have been paid into its treasury and applied in relieving the load of taxation that weighs so heavily on the hard toiling farmer. It is evident the farmer does not want to rid himself of the * peddler with whom he is pleasant and with whom he so frequently trades, There is only one man interested in his destruction and that is the "retail dealer" of the city. The retailers have an association and this concern is perpetually agiiat- ing the death of the *peddler. County councillors are button-holed in the city by the retailer, and importuned to stop peddling. So far the whole affair has been a fiddling fiasco and the coun tv has suffered as a consequence of listening to the song of the city siren. It is not long since many of .these retailers were peddlers themselves, but having raised themselves to the dignity of a "city retail merchant," they are now seeking to stop some other poor fellow from following them up the ladder of fame and success and reach the same goal. No honest man living in the county, should be stop ped from making an honest living, No British subject should be deprived of the privilege of honest toil simply be cause he bears the burden on his back and shoulders and cannot ride in a peddling chariot. They only want to stop the poor "joot-peddler." Now, if peddling is wrong and it is wrong in principle, then why allow the "rig peddler'" to ply his business ? Does it depend upon the question whether the burden is borne on four legs or two ? If it does, all that the foot peddler has to do is to turn into a respectable 'retail merchants' association" jackass and carry his load on four legs instead of his present shaky and well-worn two overtaxed extremities. In the name of justice, fair play and common sense, let us have a sensible peddling law, that will allow the poor peddler a chance to make bread for himself and family and keep free of the work house. Give us a law that will be a credit to a British legislative body and not one that disgraces the name of a Christian county.--Yours truly, FAIR PLAY. Those 2,000 Non-Church-Going Men. Kingston, Oct. 21.--(To the Edit or): It does seem almost incredible that there should be such a large number of non-religious men in our city, but facts are stubborn things. The Y.M.C.A. is responsible for the es timate which gives ys this number. The explanation is as follows: In Y. M.C.A. language, all men between the ages of sixteen and forty years, are voung men. Carefully compiled statis- tics have shown that one-sixth of the aggregate population of Canadian towns and cities is composed of men of this age, and investigation has fur- ther shown that of this number two- thirds are non-religious. If we esti- mate the population of Kingston at 15,000 one-sixth of this number gives us 3,000, and two-thirds of 3,000 gives us the 2,000 non-church-goers. Doubt- less there are some places where a somewhat better showing than this may be made, but there are other places where the record is probably considerably worse than this estimate. We would fain think that our city is one of the better places, but we have no well-founded . basis of assurance that it is. Anyone desiring further in- formation is referred to Mr. Lawrence, of the YYM.C.A,, who can give the statistics of towns and cities investi- gated. The estimate, which we are assired is well-founded, is surely a sad com- ment upon the religions character of the male population of our towns and cities. Very many of these are hegds of famili»<, and this makes the case all the more sad. It ought to stir the hearts of all Christian people to put forth an effort to reach and save the boys. Only by this can we hope to im prove the religious status of our male population.--D. LAING. Left For Germany. Dr. C. W.

The Kingston Freeman has another fine editorial voicing the Roman Cath- olic attitude towards Queen's Univer- sity. It says: "The installation of Principal Geor- don as head of Queen's University was an event of exeeptional interest for the city of Kingston. Men of emi- nence and distinctian assembled from near and far to do honor to the man and to the occasion. Even the old seats of learning heyoud the seas con tributed their share to the galaxy of assembled 'greatness. 'The great in- terest manifested in the event empha- sizes again the high place Queen's occupies, in the world of letters. For beybnd question Kingston's seati of learning has contributed largely to the higher educational life of Canada. MRS. G. H. GILBERT "The Grand Ol Woman of the Stage," as she looks at eighty-three She celebrated her birthday to-day, and is still on the stage From out of the halls -of Queen's have gone forth an array of men, not en dowed with material resources, it is true, but with the imperishable pos- session of a mind pure, undefiled, and well trained for life's battles; from the head of this college a great man has passed away--for Principal Grant was indeed a great man. "To the head of this college anoth er great man has been called, for the address of Principal Gordon on the dav of his installation could only be delivered by a man who realizes the responsibilities, she functions of a university, and who has at the same time the energy, the ability, the de termination to carry his life's work to a happy and glorious fruition That his rule will be liberal and just to all classes, we feel assured, for greatness and liberality are character- istics of the men from "down Ly the sea. " That success may crown his every effort is our earnest wish, and that Queen's University may day by day grow in influence, preserving her glorious traditions, increasing her gifts to humanity, widening her sphere of influence, making men and women high minded, noble, chivalrous and good is the Freeman's sincere praver for Principal Gordon and for Queen's." MISUNDERSTANDING. The Blame Laid To Queen's For The Whole Affair. Montreal Star. Since the intercollegiate sports "on the M.AA.A. grounds last Friday, a certain amount of agitation has been raised at Kingston and here on ac- count of Queen's University men an- nouncing that they were not invited to take part in the sports. On enquiry it is found that last Ap- ril, the secretary of the McGill Uni- versity A.A.A. wrote to the Queen's University A.A.A., asking whether they intended to enter any men for the annual intercollegiate sports, and requested that these entries (if any) be sent in a week before the sports. To this letter the McGill secretary re- ceived no answer; 80 he concluded that Queen's wished to enter no men for any of the events. On Tuesday the secretary of the Mc- Gill Association saw an item in the Star stating that Queen's was sending three men to Montreal to compete in the sports. He sent this item to the secretary. of the Queen's Association asking if this was correct. On Wednes- day he received an affirmative answer, and immediately telegraphed to Var- sity to find out if they would agree to Queen's entries, for the entry of contestants for the sports from any college is subject to the approval of the Collegiate Association already en- tered. Varsity said that they were agree- ahle. So the secretary of the MeGill Association immediately went dcwn to_the printers and had the Quesn's entries put on the programme On Friday afternoon two Queen's men put in an appearance at the M. AAA. grounds; but . refused to com- pete. This is a simple statement of the bare facts; and froy, it one can easily gather that the regrettable misunder- standing arose from the Queen's As sociation neglecting to originally in- form the secretary of the McGill As sociation of their intention to enter men for the sports, after they had been requested to do so.
