The scriptural Injune- tion, "Until death do them part," is lightly regarded, if regarded at all. One may be excused for wondering whither we are drifting? It is unfortunate, remarks the Peterboro Examiner, that the fede- ral government 3s allowed the fear of the farmers' vote to beclond the merits of daylight saving. A gov- ernment should be bold enough to legislate for the good of the major- ity, rather than listen to the claims of a noisy minority. oe ---------- The tenth annual automobile show is now being held in the Wat- ertown, N.Y, armouries, and pro- mises to be a big success.

A constitutional amendment has been adopted by the state making voting compulsory and fixing a series of fines for failure to register, and vote. The experiment will be watched with interest. The ex-kalser - may escape the punishment that is his due. Who is shielding him? The world awaits the answer. English aristocracy, as represented «by Lord Lansdowne and his ilk, must not be permitted to thwart the will of the people.

The purpose of maintaining a! large credit balance of trade is be | ing promoted by the extension credits to foreign countries tem- | porarily denuded both of gold and | of | real Gazette. To a greater extent than ever before trade carried for the past on a credit basis, 'the helping hand ! has bean on four years of confidence having been extended | markedly by Great Britain and the | United States, the rich countries of | the world.

Du: ing the war Canada was a borrower rather than a lender of credit, he- the financial relations Britain were largely a up of accounts of equal Canada sent commodities England, and England balanced the account by paying the expense of the Canagian army overseas. All this is of the past. The con- | cern is for the future.

From time to time instances come to the notice of the public of the great power of the press in correcting | evil conditions and in helping to right wrongs. It is quite a'notorious fact ' that there is no means of correcting an evil quite so powerful as the press. Most people will endure a certain amount of criticism in 'eri- vate or even from the public plat- form, but few need to be reminded of - their errors a second time through the local newspaper, On occasions, important matters have come up before our city council, and the decisions have not always been to | | | cause witl Great ming amount to | snm- | | is ~id Germany's |} { world's greatest war correspondent, |SPite | hope { without THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, MONDAY, own experiences i "Bringing Up Father t im of 30 during resp nd particularly At Home." mont} n the al mode MCE een pub when most ' ia' i the st re to do 4 latest attraction built Ular ent { Up Father At Home. | lined hald the boar Grand Opera House on j next both matinee and " became an ac lected to air his « welfare of | of life in a.py le'of amuse- | d » been in the hands of J 2.
