The first duty of all citizens, right- ly remarks the Peterboro Examiner, is to make sure that their names ap- pear on the lists which will be used in the O. T. A. plebiscite newt month. There is no use arguing about the respective meritd of the two pro- posals uniess you are in a position to support your argument by a vote. And you cannot vote unless your name ie on the list. It does not mat- ter how thoroughly qualified you are to exercise the franchise; your name must appear in the official role be fore the deputy returning officer will give you a ballot. Taking it for granted that you are listed is a dan- gerous proceeding. At every election names of per sons fully eligible are inadvertantly omitted. Many of the victims did not know until voting dey that the There is no need of you, Mr. Voter, or Mrs. Voter or Miss Voter, as tne case may be, experiencing a similar disappoint- ment on Oct. 23rd. You have plenty of time in which to find out if you are protected by having your name on the 1iist or to have it added, should it happen to have been left off. The necessary machinery is be- {ing provided for the correction and revision of the lists, and no person who possesses the necessary: quali- fications need find himself disen- franchised when polling day arrives. The plebiscite is Ontario's oppor- tunity to express itself upon a public question of the most vital import- ance. No elector should be without the power to actively participate in this expression of the public will. US. REVOLT AGAINST HIGH TARIFF, Economics is a dismal science, and economists are not ax a rule excessively cheerful persons, but it is not offen that they have to spend 80 much time as they are now spend- ing in the effort to explain why things in a given country are so much less terrible than they expect- ed them to be. Orthodox economic opinion has been predicting great disturbances as the result of the present abnormal accumulation of gold in the United States for the last four years, and very litle of the predicted extravagant soaring of prices and the excessive "booming" of business has actually occurred since the great post-war resdjust- ment of 1920. English 'economists have sought to explain this disap- pointing behavior of American bu- siness on the theory that the Fed- eral Reserve Banks have prevented the imported gold from serving as a basis for either money or credit; they 'are strongly attached to the quantity theory of money, and if more gold does not produce higher prices they can conceive of ouly ona alternative, namely that more gold has not produced more money. Ame rican writers, notably Dr. Benjaniin Anderson, the economic expert of the Chase National Bank of New York, are much less convinced that the Reserve System has kept the money and credit supply from be- ing enlarged by the increase of gold, and claim that there really is far too much money in the United Stat- es, that it is kept from exercising its effect upon ordinary commodity prices by the influence of low prices abroad where gold is scanty and by the prevalent attitude of cauilon on the part of American enterprise, and that it is actually exercising its full effect upon the price of money loans. And it is a fact that the rate of interest on commercial paper is today lower in the United States than it has ever been in this centu- ry, with the exception of the utterly abnormal winter of 1915-16. This fact is the more significant, when we bear in mind the opposite fact that in the world at large money loans are commanding a rate of in- terest so high as to be almost prohi- bitive, so that the disparity between the American rate and the Kuro- pean rate is the more violent. It does not seem possible that this superfluity of loanable money can be confined to the New York call and short loan market for an inde- finite period. When gilt-edged borrowers are paying only two per cent. there is'a pretty strong in- ducement for lenders to look" for borrowers who will pay a little more for money to be employed in uses which are not quite so gilt-edged. And as a matter of fact, the first sign of an industrial boom in the United States is already visible; un- filled orders of ths United States Steel Corporation, which for twenty years have followed the commercial money rate with the most impressive exactitude, have reached what is, in proportion to the present increased capacity 'of the industry, by tar the Dwest point in their history, and actual figures as low as any ! showing sage one since! If we are not at the point "which gold, and secompanying a continued era of the immediate curtaliment of the supply of loan money by means of | a heavy selling of securities by the | Federal Reserve Banks; American | co-operation in the restoration of | the gold standard in European coun- tries, so that gold may again be] safely employed as money tanerein; | and finally a reduction of the tariff | "in such a way as to permit Europe | to' send us more goods and less gold." This last gtep he alleges to be necessary not only for the cor- rection of the money supply but also "to restore a sound equilibrium among our own industries." This means simply that at present Lhe in- dustries which produce for export, for sale in a world gravely under- supplied with gold and therefore unable to bid high for its commodity wants, are at a terrible disadvan- tage against the industries which produce for the domestic market. The body of Intelligent opinion against the present American tariff is growing stronger With every month, and a very moderate change in the present party preponderance would almost certainly lead to the beginning of a poMcy af relaxation. SPREAD OF KNOWLEDGE. From every political, economical and moral standpoint it is impor- tant to the world that illiteracy 's being reduced by great strides in every country of the world and that a day will come when the number of illiterates will be infinitesimal. It is also amazing that there are a half a billion illiterates in India and China, that Africa and Russia each have one hundred million peo- ple who can not read or write, that there are fitty million {lliterate La- tin-Americans and that. although the educated In the United States, Canada, England, France and Ger- many 'are in the majority, each of these countries has no inconsider- able illiteracy. On universal education must the world depend for perpetual peace, economic stability ard plenty, moral rectitude and universal contentment and prosperity. As Hteracy . has spread, the universe has approached nearer to these ideals. The move- ment for universal literacy has been benefitted greatly by a change in the attitude of the monarchiaf gov- ernments of the world toward the educating of the lower classes and by the establishment of representa- tive government in many European and Asiatic countries as a result of the 'world war.

Although man has not found {it practicable to control weather on a large scale, in certain small ways he can modify the climate to his liking. With an electric fan in summer, he increases the wind velocity indoors; systems of refrigeration lower the temperature of cars or buildings; humidifiers add moisture to the air; furnaces create an indoor desert summer during the winter. In many industries weather is an {mportant control. Printing and lithographing, for example, are vital- ly affected by weather changes. Paper or cardboard printed one col lor one day may not register proper- ly for another color the next, on ac- count of the change in size and shape of the sheets caused by variation in isture. Air driers or moisteners was one of the trio of great men Who were sent out by Louis XIV of France about the same time. The Other two were the Marquis de Tracy, who [brought out twelve hundred men of the finest Mremsh regiments for the defence of the colony, and Jean Talon, the Inten- dant, who was the first to encou'- age development of Canadian re- sources, instead of depending upon supplies from France, When Gov- ernor de Courcelles arrived the Population of the colony was 3,418. Quebec had a population of 678, Beaupre, 565; Isle d"Orleans, 471; Three Rivers, 461; Montreal, 584; the remainder dwelt in tiny villages. There were then about 11,000 acres cultivated, and the farms had about 2,186 horned cattle. Courcelles was responsible for the building of the first road in Canada, that from Chambly to Montreal. He also built the first ship. The little settlement in its growing security and peace now had time to cultivate the light- side of existence. The gay officers of the garrison at Quebec instilled a sense of frivolity; and novelty into a life heretofore devoted mainly to the grim facts of farming and de- fence. The demand for finery from Paris increased swiftly, and Cana dian belles: soon learned to wear the fraoks and fin®ries designed for Versailles and the court of Louis The court, of Courcelles at Quebec was a Oanadian miniature of the royal court in the homeland. \ A, Menace to British Trade.

Mrs. O'Grady proved herself well able to be her own lawyer. After displaying an unusual amount of fervid elo- quence, she sald if it had not been for the noise she would have bropght | one of the "boneens" down "under her arm," and introduced it to "His Waurtchip." The mayor sald that he would have been happy to see the interesting specimen of the unclean animal. He explaimed to her that when a pig was taken by the pound kegger it became city property, and no by any means out of the city of- ficer's possession. Pigs don't know any better than to root up gardens, etc.; had no doubt that her pigs were very decent kind of pigs. The worthy lady protested against be- ing fined, saying that the pigs were her pigs, that she bought them for herself, and that her" husband had 'nothing to do with them: Danlel was her husband 'be coorse." Had nine of a family. The mayor said he wes very happy to learn that she was 80 well off in the world; more than one present would be happy to have one. Mrs. O'Grady said there was no use fining her, nothing but "hef body," a commo- dity apparently not in request In that market, for the mayor said he would rather take one of her nine children. This turned the tables. "I wouldn't give ome o' the childher for all you're worth, Sir!" site. On telling her that she would have to pay the poundage and costs she said it would be a long time be- fore they could get that out of her. She was finally ordered to pay the poundage 3s. 9d costs, and 6s fine, the latter to be remitted if the rest is paid within two weeks. Making a very deep curtsey she Another Portia.

The feeling of satiety, almost in- separable from large possessions, is & surer cause of misery than un a -- in operation night and day are mot always sufficient to remedy the sit- uation. Cotton mills prefer a re- lative humidity of about 75 per cent., as the fibre is not so workable in dry air, and cloth made under vary- ing humidities will shrink irregu- larly. Modern mills now "condi- tion" their air and keep the windows shut. Leather, too, may be injur- ed by lack of moisture. In Californ- ia, hot winds can in two hours make the leather so dry that it cannot be worked, and so brittle as to be brok- en if thrown on the floor. reall Ausiversary Of the Great War September 20th, 1914, The western German wing has been thrust back seven miles in the last two days of fighting.
