Oh, it has gone up to $1.50. Dodge! Between taxes and autos and street cars, everybody has the ducking habit down to a fine point. "The Better 'Ole'" is the name to be ascribed to the proposed tunmel under the British channel. An ap- propriate appellation A perfect corkscrew, it is said, has at last been invented. How sad Opportunity seems to have knocked at the door but it is too late!! Paved streets are a decided ad- vantage tliese mild wititer days. Com- pare them with the mud soaked streets. We must have more asphalt and block pavements. It looks as though Canada is to undergo this year many calls for aid for organizations which were thought to be only of war type. But, of course, the war isn't over yet. The new government in Germany is favorable to the patronage sys- tem and just there is where they make a mistake. Every adherent of the party wants an office. The $10 tax which Montreal some time ago imposed on bachelors is about to be repealed,' because it has been found impossible to enforce it. The bachelors proved elusive as usual, y Many plans seem perfect until they are put into practical effect. The test is the determining thing in de- ciding their value. Prohibition, tariff compromises and a League of Na- tions must all go through the fire of experience, A southerner very jovially re- marks that a person can find much encouragement to live on and wor hard by dropping in at an wid taker's and pricing his line of goods and services. The outlook = wii! check any death chills, Recent despatches announce that a third political party will be form- "ed in the west to consist of the G. W. V. A, grain growers and labor. But do these organizations have en- , ough in common that they can Wn- fte on a single platform? We very muth doubt It. # ' Over in the States someone lectured on "Our Dough-Girls in ~ France" The Hamilton Post is in- spired togsay: "What we need are dough-girls in the, homes--girls who knead the dough more and ious charge that NEE has brougit 49' no mare - than to consent to » |" wide-open enquiry.

The task is not an easy orie, as every publisher must admit. In the rush and speed necessary in issuing a dally newspaper some unsatisfac- tory advertisements are bound to ea- cape the most vigilant eye. Every line in the news" and advertising columns cannot possibly be read, but on the whole the utmost care is | taken to prevent the publication of fraudulent statements, The Whig believes it is safe in saying that in no other country in the world are cleaner, freer or more independent newspapers published than in Canada. Here and there a few black sheep are to be found, and that #8 only human and to be expected. On the whole, however, the newspapers .of Canada have been. true to the public trust, and have honestly endeavored to serve faithfully and well the community in -which-- they circulated. They | have. encouraged all that was good | and wholesome in public life and morals, and have resolutely oppos- ed all that was vicious and harm- ful. Like watch-dogs at the gato, they have stood on guard and pro-| tected the public against those who, for selfish purposes, wonld have ex- ploited the people. The publicity given by the press has stopped the hand of many a wrong-doer aun" corrected many an abuse due to in- efficiéncy. An exposure in regard to street paving made by the Whig | on Thursday last is a case in point That"-the public appreciates this service is amply shown by the many expressions of praise this paper hos received from all classes of citizens. | The admission of dishonest ad- vertising to its columns will soon- er or later--and the sonner the bet-| ter--bring ruin to any publication. | A newspaper, more than any other medium, stands or falls according to the respect and confidence ro posed in it by the public. Its good- will is its greatest asset. That re- spect, confidence and goodwill can only be gained and maintained as the paper measures up to the re- quirements of Its readers. Most publishers are imbued with a worthy desire to produce a news- ! paper that will. be a credit to the community and a force for good Iu the land. They must, therefore, ex- ert a careful and constant supervi- sion over every advertisement in- serted. Every paper that has he- come influential has done this. Az for the Whig, it edits its advertis- ing columns as carefully as it does its reading colimns. | But, as we said before, misthkes are bound to be made now and then in the hurry of preparing, editing and distribut- ing a daily newspaper. The worth- while newspaper does not need gov- ernment legislation to. protect it against dishonest advertising; it does its own censoning. The few black sheep may need it--whils they last. The press of Canada, of its own accord, has made its ad- vertising columns honest and trust- worthy. There would seem to be little if any need of government ro- gulation. With Hamilton.
