The outstanding feature of the We are gradually getting back o-party government and the jh Whig believes this is tn the ground, and is not y so badly hit as was the Con» party in 1921. It will have rge representation in the house will constitute a vigorous and sive opposition, pe---- the undercurrents that prevailed. The vote was in the neighborhood of 11,600 out of slightly over 15,000 voters on the lists, and for the Lib- erals to have made such a showing "I in the gale of opposition is worthy of congratulation. The majority was the result of a determined on- slaught of the people against a gov- : | ergment that they imagined had not brought about an era of good times as speedily as they had expected. While it is disheartening to wit- ness the defeat of one of Kingston's best and foremost citizens, a man to whom Kingston owes much for whatever success it has attained in recent years, yet Mr. Campbell can accept defeat with the conviction that his friends did their level best in the face of strong adverse feeling, and that his own personal popular- 7 | ity has in mo way suffered. Mr. Campbell will, as he has done on other occasions, accept the will of his fellow citizens smilingly and go on helping, stimulating and sup- porting every measure for the ad- vancement of Kingston, a city very dear to his heart. CONGRATULATIONS TO DR. ROSS. The Whig has no hesitation in congratulating Dr. Ross upon his vic- tory. We fought him hard because we disagreed with his policy, but the electors having chosen him again by a large majority, and we feel that he is entitled to congratulations on the confidence reposed in him. As King- ston's representative for the next four years, he will have a big re- sponsibility, and should the final re- turns give Mr. Meighen a clear ma- jority, it is quite probable that Dr. Ross will be included in the Cabi- net, and will be in an excellent posi- tion to look after Kingston's inter- ests. DR. EDWARDS' ELECTION. The election of Dr. Edwards in Frontenac-Addington was generally conceded, especially as he had been courting 1t for the past four years, since his last defeat. The Pro- gressive Movement in Ontario had shot its bolt and the electors were decidedly of opinion that the two-party system "was the most de- sirable for any country. In Front- enac-Addington as in Kingston the people were against the Govern- ment, and for no other reason than that they thought it had not brought about better times quickly enough. They lost sight of the fact that Can- ada was in better shape than many of the war-stricken countries of the world. Dr. Edwards is an experienced politician, a ready speaker, and en worker and his appeal against the Government found ready support among the farming com- munity who wanted a change, and were probably enamored with the possibilities of more protection. The majority. Dr.. Edwards secured was equally as unusual as that given in Kingston. The doctor will, we feel sure, give his best to the riding, as he has in the past, and as its rep- resentative will be ever watchful of its interests. GOVERNMENT AND THE HOME. In a recent address the president of the United States deplored the evidences that the home is breaking down and that an increasing number of the delinquents are the product of parental neglect. Chief Magistrate McAdoo, of New York, in reviewing the causes of crime stressed the fact of "no home life, no parental influ- ence." The New York World in trenchant fashion says the state- ment of Mr. Coolidge that "what the youth of the country need is not more control through Government action but more home control," does not get them very far. If he means that the Government has no respon- sibility, he is quite mistaken. Why does the home lose its influence? Partly through industrial accidents and other causes which orphan the young. through bad hous. ing, which makes home repellant. Partly through divorce, which tears tamilies asunder. Partly through economic conditions which force | strong and sound. métics as evidence =~ of progress In civilization when their use is to be traced to something human enough, | to be sure, but without relation to cf¥ilization--that is, to) woman's de-| sire to appear beautiful? Tae wo- men of barbaric tribes are reported to be devotees to beautifying paint Use of powder, rouge and the lip stick comes natural to the fair ones, if the constancy with which they ap- ply cosmetics means anything. The eternal female and her charni--what have they to do with civilisation? DANGERS IN DEER HUNTING. Over in the Adirondacks in four days of the hunting season five per- sons were killed or wounded and scores of sportsmen shot at in mis- take for deer. The presumption is that more men would have been killed if the average marksmanship had been more accurate. Hunting consequently has become a danger- ous pastime. Too many persons are unfit to handle a gun, both in New York and Canada, In this céuntry the deer season will open in a few days and it is to be hoped the casu- alty lists will be very small, Be- cause the amateur hunter owns a gun is no reason why they should be turned loose in the woods, Meas- ures for the protection of hunters is AS necessary as measures for the pro- tection of game. An elémentary knowledge of woodcraft: or more common sense would seem necessary, or at least the ability to distinguish objects at shooting distance. Ex- perienced hunters do not go about firing at random at bits of color or moving twigs in the expectation that they will get a deer. They know what they are shooting at before fir- ing. Caution is certainly an essen- tial requisite when hunters gather in quest of game and it is ho this care and caution will be exercised and lives saved. THE TRAFFIC BAROMETER. It is both significant and stimulat- ing that railway trafic has shown substantial gains since the closing week of July. Following the slump which began in April last, this im- provement very clearly marks the turn of the tide. From now onward there should be steady betterments. The chief cause of shrinkage during preceding months was the reduced volume of grain available, as well as a lowered movement of coal. With Nhe incoming of the Canadian har- vest the upward trend of trafic should be constant and encouraging. Since the end of July there have been more carloads of live stock, lumber, pulpwood, other forest pro- ducts, merchandise and miscellan- eous in motion than during the cor- | responding period of last year. The 'gain in lumber, merchandise and miscellaneous is a particularly faver- able sign. It tells us quite definftely | that building operations are active, land that business in general Nas taken on mew life. With the stimu- { lation which a bountiful harvest will undoubtedly give to commerce in all its 'branches, the Canadian people should find themselves facing the autumn in a highly optimistic mood. All indications are bright with pro- mise. THE GLOWING OUTLOOK. The latest estimate of the western wheat crop has been made by the Canadian Pacific Railway, which is fn a peculiarly favorable position to gather reliable inforination. It places the yield at 375,404,000 bushels, or fully 50,000,000 bushels better than the figures given out a month ago by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. as follows: Oats, 446,337,000 bush- els; barley, 94,650,000; rye, 15,802,- 000; flaxseed, 8,666,100; peas, 2.- 983,800; mixed grains, 3,350,000; corn for husking, 12,475,000; pota- toes, 43,545,000 hundred weight; beans, 1,086,000 bushels; and buck- wheat, 9,385,000 bushels. At current prices, these crops will be worth fully $200,000,000 more than was the production of last year; and this cannot fail to have a vitalis- ing effect on the entire commercial interests of the country, Canada is EDTORIAL NOTES. stom. 2 7 Oh, well anyway.

And in a variety of cases they managed the men also. We hereby tender to the editor of the Standard an invitation to in- crease the exodus by two for a week and help us drown our sorrow by watching Flo Ziegfield's beauties. Edinburgh is sald to be so infest- ed with stray cats that the munici- pality is about to license cat-holders. At least this movement may raise "pussy" to the same status as the dog. It is a matter of congratulation that such a large proportion of the electors of Kingston cast their ballots. The education of the electors goes on well. The country needs to have the voice of the people fully expressed. . S------ . Every approaching winter brings reports of coal discoveries in On- tario and Quebec. If the men mak- ing these would deliver a few tons of the real stuff to the homes of the consumers, the public might be con- vinced, even if the geologists are nat.
