PE ee TORY SENATE THREW OUT BILL OF LIBERAL GOVERNMENT TO GIVE $2000000 T0 RETURNED MEN Preaier King, Speling ot Mitel Chrgs Vio o the Election Act Over-a Letter---The Progressive: Liberal Haity Is Quite Natural, He Seys. Newmarket, Oct. 28.--A printed letter to returned soldiers, alleged to be from Colonel Herbert Lennox. Conservative candidate in North York, was declared to be & "viola- tion of the Elections Act" by Pre- mijer King at a meeting here yester- day afternoon. It was not Within " the election law, because it did not ghowathe name of the printer of thé place. from which it emanated, sala Mr. King. Mr. King, in dealing with the charges made against the Govern- mient's relation to the returned sol- dler, declared the same to be "false" and ("uotrue in every particular," Mr. King said he nad been charged with promising a $2,000 honug to returned men in 1821, "I made no promise of that nature. The State. ment was never made by me," he 'said. The Liberal party plaiform ot 1919 had favored a payment to re- turned men, but the Government of the day had taken no action, The present Government: had to ontinue the machinery it found in operafjon in 1921, the Premier -- sible, lonel Lennox In his letter had said that the Government should pay to the soldiers the two million dol- Jars of canteen fund profits.

"That statement is false and untrue in every particular," said the Premier,who added that he had been in touch with the Secretary of State and had learned that not one dollar of the requisitioned funds had been paid to Germany. No recommenda- tion had been made and the money will not be touched until it is dealt with by international treaty. pn Parties And Tariff, It would be strange if the Pro- gressive and Liberal parties were not working together today in oppo- sition to the high tariff forces, be- cause Mr. Meighen had announced that he would restore the tariffs which the two low-tariff parties had joined to reduce, said the Premier, The Prime Minister told his audi- ence that the Government had saved the country ¥110,000,000 a year during the four years in office. Can- ada had to pay $137,000,000 inter- est on the national debt every year. In all, two-thirds of the total expen- ditures of Canada were fixed and beyond control. "The big issue in this campaign is national unity and national stability. This is more important than Mr, Meighen's tariff stability," said Mr. King, "The Government's policy was one designed to bring all parts of the country together." +CO.N.R, Earnings Increase, Montreal, Oct. 28.--The gross earnings of the Canadian National Railways for the week ending Oc. tober 21st, 1925 have been §6,050,- 783; as compared with §$5141,398 for the same period of 1924, an fu- crease of $909,385, or eighteen per cent. 670,104 Canadians Went to the US.

A DENIAL. ---- The Whig indignantly denies the accusation that they have entered into any secret * arrangement or Agreement with Attorney-General W. F. Nickle to read Whig editorials to Conservative audiences.

Three Ex-Premiers Said to Have Joined Hygiene League. London, Oct. 28.--The Dally Ex- press says three former prime min- isters of Great Britain, the Earl of Oxford and Asquith, the Earl of Balfour and Ramsay MacDonald, with a number of prominent physi- cians and hygienists, have formed a remarkable society aiming to bring about " a golden age of health," in England. This= organization is to be formally inaugurated early in December, will be called "The New Healthy Society." Its primary object will: be the prevention of disease. TRIAL OF DAVID MOON TRAVERSED 70 SPRING Chief Justice Meredith Qives Belleville Prisoner Benefit of Doubt. Belleville, Oct. 28.--The trial of David Arthur Moon, bank messenger, charged with the murder of John McGle and Clayton McWilllams, two chums, well known Belleville young men, was traversed to the next crim- inal assizes here in the spring. Al the resumption of the court yester- day afternoon, Chief Justice R. M. Meredith, presiding, consented to the postponement made on the applica- tion of Hugh J. MacDonald, of To- a R. D. MacAuley, coun sel for In granting the postponement, the A FINAL WORD, Tomorrow is the battle of the bal- lots. Tomorrow the electors are called upon to decide by their votes just what sort of a government they want at Ottawa for the next five years. The issues are fairly and squarely before the people. Mr. King stands for an adequate ! tariff for revenue' purposes, a tariff that bears as lightly as possible on the necessaries of life, Mr. Meighen stands for high pro- tection, which meaps dearer food, dearer coal and dearer clothing. Even if it does stimulate Canadian trade a bit, any good that it does will be far more than offset by the high prices the workingman will have to pay for the necessaries of life. The wise voter will vote for J. M. Campbel and take no chances on dearer food. LET WELL ALONE. The sensible man. would not think of resorting to medicines if he were well. Nor should a nation. Canada has made an unparalleled record in export trade since 1900, when the total was $183,237,655. Last year our shipments abroad aggregated $1,068,6563,297. An increase of 480 per cent. in 25 years Is an indisput- able sign of sound health. It must be compared with a gain of 185 per cent. during the 25 years following the introduction of the National \Poticy in. 1878, The wise man only resorts to medicine when he is sick. Canada is not sick, On the contrary, she is in robust health, Not another coun- try in the world is producing and ex- porting as' mi per capita. -Our Conservative fridnds are fond o1 pointing to the United States as an example of a prosperous country under protection. It would.be much more to the point if Americans were constaptly pointing to Canada, since we produce and export, on the per capita basis, three times as much as does the United States. To "let well alone" is not only an old and approved axiom, coming down to us through the ages of human experience; but it is peculiar ly apt at this juncture in our pa- tional history. ; tp -------- es SPECULATING IN MAJORITIES. -------- Election campaigns have their humordus as well a8 their serious side, and there is food for whole- some mirth and laughter in the des- perate efforts of the Conservative propagandists to figure out a major ity for Mr. Meighen; these weird mathematical exercises take the place of the comic strips. To be serious, the cold fact is that Mr, Mei- ghen has 50 supporters in a House of 235 members. The new Housé will have 246 members and as all the increase is In the West, where Mr. is notoriously weak, his chances in the new House are worse than in the old. He would need 72 seats in addition to his present fol- lowing in order to obtain 123, which would be a bare majority, and his of making those 72 gains are 8s good as his prospect of be- led President of Brasil.

Kingston, Oct. 28.--(To the Edi- tor): In The Standard of the 26th inst. there is a letter headed 'Local Liberals who have gone to the Unit- ed States," signed by John Brown. Mr. Brown has been good enough to refer to the names of Dr. and Mrs. L. B. Stevenson, son-in-law and daughter of Mr, J. M. Campbell. From this T infer that these~hames are on the list recently published in The Standard as parties leaving Kingston - during the last few months. For the information of Mr. Brown let me state that Dr, and Mrs. Stev- enson left Kingston in 1920 during! the regime of the Meighen Govern- ment. Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson have been in the habit of returning to Canada every summer and visiting in Kingston for a few months, and no doubt when they have completed their visit and returned to the Unit- ed States their names have been en- tered as parties moving to the Unit- ed States. This shows the utter unreliability | of the information published in The Standard and other Conservative pa- pers, and no doubt will account for the majority of the parties who are recorded as moving from Canada.

Courtland Elliott, as having left for the United States, "who one would expect would be the last to leave Kingston for the States." Let me say, my son is in Wash- ington for educational purposes, a training mot available here, and on the recommendation of Canada's leading economists, Court is too good a Canadian to remain away and I expect his return to his du- ties in Toronto next summer will be to add something to the well- being of his native land, for his post-graduate work is with that pur- pose in view. k Let me also add that went to France for educational ad- vantages in 1920-21, and there was |$ no political ado about ft.

ORDER HAS BEEN PLACED In view of the increase in trade which has brought about an increase in traffic, the Canadian National Railways has started placing orders for new equipment. A Canadian Press despatch from Montreal states that the British Empire Steel Cor- poration reports the following order from the Cana- dian National Railways: 53,213 gross tons of 85 and 100 pound rails, tie plates, angle bars, spikes and track bolts, divided as follows: 43 1220 rails, 6,950 tie plates, 2,225 angle bars and 816 spikes and track bolts. MR. HARTY EXPECTS ORDERS FOR THE LOCOMOTIVE WORKS During the past two weeks there have been per- sistent rumors around the city that the Canadian Locomotive Works of Kingston will be busy this winter and that a large number of men would again be employed in this backbone industry of the city. When interviewed to-day, Mr. William Harty, Jr., President of the Company, stated that he Lad every reason to hope--in view of the very great improve- veosed yhent in both C.P:R. ind C.N.R. net compared to last year, and the fact that both roac have curtailed all purchase of equipment for' the past twelve months--that they would very shortly come into the market for new power. : : "In view of the change which has occurred in the United States in the last two months -- orders for over 500 locomotives having been placed by the New York Central and other American lines--we look for our turn to come before the new year," said : My Harty. large order had been placed for running over 5,000 tons. This will be enough coal to the works running at full blast all winter. lunes Sik igod SIR HENRY THORNTON 3 memovwemaes| VISITS HIS SON in # The Whig wil receive Takes Advantage tage of the C % election returns fram the wae 3 : # Dominion on Thu y t. + motive Works. ) Bir Henry Thornton, President the Canadian National Raflw came to Kingston in his private ou Monday '16 visit 'bs' son 'at the up till midnight are & # asked to call telephone number & # 2612, which will connect with * #& various desks in the Whig : building, and operators will +» > + # give the: desired information. * {$28 882890689 084999 5,,,( Military College hers, prior to leaving on a business trip to Bag land early next month.
