"Let each man of ue see that we spare nothing, shirk nothing, shrink from nothing, .if only we may. lend" our full weight to the impetus which shall carry to victory the cause of our honor and of our freedom.' -- Lord Kitchener, "The privilege is yours, young men, the privilege of risking your lifé that your country may live, and that freedom may not disappear from the earth. It is not to the wo- men that I would appeal to send the men to the front. It is to you. young mon, who must remember that none but the brave deserve the fair." --S8ir Wilfrid. NEW CAR VENTURE One of the great automobile com- panies of Detroit has under consid- eration the-opening of a branch fac- tory in. Canada, and with a special object in view, mimely, of reducing the cost of cars and securing thereby a share of the fast growing business. For somehow, in spite of .the, pre- tension that the people are hard up, that money is scarce, that everyone must economize, cars are being bought at a pace that promises a plentiful supply in the very near fu- ture, If the people must have cars, and the best of them, why not at the low- est cost? If ny the establishment of a Canadian agency a better car ean be procured at a minimum price, be- tween $300 and $400 lower than the current quotation, when the duty fig paid, why not have a branch house? Whyshould it not be in Kingston? The representative of one car, the builder of an article that is superior in its quality, its comfort and opera- 'ion, would like it to locate in King- ston, and when he mentioned the fact to a leading citizen he was as- sured that one more producing in- stitution was very uch desired. An automobile establishment, then, would put the eity in line for more business. The competition is keen. It will be keener still. We will all be buying cars when ont manufac turer carries out his pledge and puts a million of them in the market at A profitof $1 each, Sc ol. ---- FICKLE MINDED PEOPLE The. University avenue petition was signed many months ago by the property owners who nsked for an asphalt pavement upon a concrete base. They did not lake into ac- count the fact that the underground service of water and gas would hive to be renewed Béfore 'the © street could be re-surfaced with anything. They did not question the canvasser and did not learn what his motive was in collecting signatures. They were a gulleless and confiding lot. Months transpired. A new Board of Works imbibed new ideas and one of them was to surface the avenue with broken stone and tarvia. : 'The people were asked to sign a second petition, "and many of them did so. «= Now some regret the circumstance, and they may regret it the more as there is talk of holding them to the first _ betition which they signed. Fickle, fickle people that do not appear to know what they want. 4 given effect; recognition, { and he was very prompt in acting! + and in placing at the disposal of the | Militia Department the name of one | his office, and in England. Granted. Other applications do not seem. to be hung 2p on that account, and the delay iu the appointment of a Me- thodist "chapldin may very reason- ably engage the mind of Superin- tendent Chown. He has a double reason for acting: (1) He was ask- ed for a nomination and he has a reason to know why it has not been (2) the Methodist Church has a very large interest in the men in the field. That interest the church should be allowed to further and advance in the only way which is open to it, viz., through a chaplain who has access to the men and may be regarded as their coun- sellor in religious things. A CANDID CONFESSION, Our cartoon on Comurunity Build- ing, in this issue of the Whig, is most suggestive. Many a one on seeing it,and reading the postscript, will feel like saying, "My experience exactly." He is a rare invéstor who, al- lured by out-of-town &dWértising, or- ders somethigg which' #e. regards as cheap, and finds himselt : deceived. "Ah," someone may say, "but no- body buys boqts by, mail." 'Are you Quite sure of that? A calalogue is printed with designs and prices 'and sizes.

This quality or virtue in all businesses pays, and every man who éstimates aright the anxiety to own and con- template and handle his purchases, will allow very little time to elapse between the giving of the order and the fulfillment of it. The average buyer of out-of-town gdeds does not whine when he is "stung,' 'as he is at times. He may write a sayoy let- ter to the department store in 'some far distant city, apd: intimate that he has been deceived. He does aot say a word to his neighbor. It is only oceasionally that the cit- izen who has been tool: ana badly, is honest enough; Mke the man in the cartoom, to-go to the home mer- chant and confess his folly and vow i i I t will do the most good for themselves and the country.
