It is unfortunate that the Ontario government did not make some spec- ial arrangement whereby all students | attending universities and colleges | could cast their vote on the Ontario | Temperance Act plebiscite on Thurs- day next. "Only those Queen's stu- dents whose place of residence . is Kingston can vote Were. Those whose regular place of abode is elsewhere must go to their home poil to vote if they wish to cast a ballot on the momentous question placed before the people. It would have been very easy for the government to have made special provision for students away from home, and there is a good deal of resentment over its failure fo do so. There is one way open to those students who are thus dis- tranchised through their inability to travel long distances to their homes, and that js to try and "pair" with friends who vote in Kingston. Even eftizens of Kingston would come to the aid of their young friends in the '"'pairing" process. ) -------------- "RUBBER STAMPS." The Toronto judge who intimated that bank officials in responsible positions were not supposed to be reports just because someone higher up told them to do so, was absolute- ly right. Officials must be honest, even at the risk of losing their jobs, if they are to sérve the public, who in this oase were their real mas- ters. Only those in the apprentice class, of whosé ignorance advantage might be taken, could be excused.for making out a report that was false. Anyone proficient in clerical>work a report that was a Me, cannot shield himself under the excuse that he was doing what he was told to do. The man who would' falsity accounts is as guilty as his employer who urged him to do wrong. It is recounted that once upon a time when merthants used' to send out their accounts only twice a year, and when thers were few telephones, a certain dealer in provisions con- ceived a scheme whereby he would not suffer on rainy days when busi- ness was dull, He would tell his book-keepaer to charge to a number of accounts of well-to-do people a batch of things which they did not purchase, but which they were never the wiser about when they came to pay their bills. That was a dishonest merchant and an equally diéhonest bookkeeper, MYSTERY MELODRAMA. During this year two of the three leading English actors who have visited Kingston produced mystery melodramas. Mr. Bransby Williams announced (Hat he understood that was the type of play that Canadian audiences wanted. He must have houses he received during his Cana- dlan trip. "|The melodrama did not appeal--at least at the high price asked for g play produced only & little better than by a. good stock company. Mr. Percy Hutchison, the other English agtor who appeared in Kingston last week, also gave mys- tery melodrama, but the role assum- ed by Mr. Hutchison as the star in "Bulldog Drummond" is not big enough for an actor of his standing, for in. the opinion of many he was overshadowed by Mr. Saxon-Snell, 'whose presentation of the role of the doctor was one of the finest pieces of 'acting ever seen here. Sir Martin Harvey, the most eminent of Eng- lish actors, has always been happier in his selection of plays to present to the people on this side of the wa- ter. Who can ever forget his won- derful presentations of "The Only Way," the dramatization of Dickens' "Tale of Two Cities," or his "David Garrick," or "The Cigarette Maker's Romance"? All of Sir Martin's pro- ductions leave refreshing. memories. Mr. Bransby. Williams and Mr, Percy Hutchison will have to do something the finest in | = they can give. The fact that two weeks ago two large audiences at- tended the production in Kingston of two plays by Shakespeare is proof of this. Theatricals are mow more prominent in schools and colleges than ever before. Singing masters are busy in the common schools and this will help. The Canadian uni- versities have their faculty players and none can give a better amateur production 'than our own Queen's faculty players or the Queen's. stu- dents' dramatic club. What Is need- od is some kind of organization that would try and gather together a company of Canadians who would travel from coast to coast in order 'to create an interest in Canadian theatricals. We have the Canada Thedtres Limited, which brings to us the best that England and the Unit- od States have to offer. Perhaps this producing concern might take a hand in helping to develop Cana- dian drama and Canadian players. THE PLEBISCITE. One hears very few estimates on the possible result of the Ontario Temperance Act plebistite vote of this coming Thursday. The pro- vince of Manitoba gave a wet majo- rity of over 30,000 and this has prompted some government control supporters to expect a majority of 50,000 in Ontario. It is very diff cult to estimate the probably re- sult. When former votes were tak- en on the O.T/A. it seemed a fore- gone conclusion that the act would be sustaimed and also that importa- tion of liquor would be, defeated. But there appears to be a good deal of uncertainty over the vote to be recorded this week. If government control is to carry, the cities and towns will have to give much larger majorities thas they did in favor of importation a few years ago, and the rural districts will have to. cut down their overwhelming majorities for the O.T.A. Much may depend upon the vote in Toronto. If the Queen City votes as *'wet"" as straw votes indicate, there will be a great majority from that quarter for gov- ernment control, and if the rural districts vote according to stfaw votes taken at church gathérings the O.T.A. will receive staunch sup- port in those quarters, ; The Moderation League is very hopeful that government control will carry, while the prohibitionist forces are equally as certain that the peo- ple of the province will vote to re- tain the temperance act now in force. There are many people who declare they will not vote at all be- cause they cannot honestly say they are in"favot bf the O.T.A. as It stands today or of government ¢on- trol. ? sep v October 21, Under the laws of the feudal regime which was established in New France as a means of colonl- zation, the géigneurs were required to build mills at which their tems ants oould grind their grain "into flour," Many of the geigneurs were ih reality, poor men, 'who were often at a loss about how to main- tain their social position upén the scanty means at their disposal. Some of the seigneuties were so sparsely settled that thelr owners knsw that the profits from the grinding of the grain would not compensate thém for the cost of constructing the mill. Therefore, some of the men ignored this clause of théir charter from the king, until, on this day.n 1686, the mon- arch issued a command that every stigneury must have a mill, From this sip origin hat rowan Can ada's t grain milling industry.
