A VICIOUS SYSTEM (Winnipeg Tribune) A press despatch from Fort Frances, Ont., states that a meeting of the district Conserva- tive Association has lately been | held there for the purpose of considering applications for the position of sheriff, Those seeking the office had | been advised, it apears, to make | written application to the asso- | ciation's secretary. Six such ap- plications were presented to the | meeting and voted upon by the | members present. The applicant "who received the most votes was given the association's "recom- mendation."" The press despatch goes on to say that "there is no doubt the recommendation will be granted when presented to the proper authorities at Toronto. This is a form of political patronage which is generally ac- cepted on the other side of the line. But it is a system -abhor- rent to Canada. voted upon, it should be by the people of the district as a whole and not by any one group. Meni- bership in a political party, even executive membership, does not necessarily endow a man with the capacity to judge of the fit- ness of any individual to dis- "charge certain responsible public duties. Any appointment so made is bound to be influenced by political considerations whicl | have little to do with efficiency. caused by children Give Every C Leopold Ontario's Record! 104 Children killed 1,827 injured by automobiles in 1931 Nearly half of these accidents were What a shameful record--what a startling appeal to both mothers and motorists!

What it was all about he does must break out. The affairs of the Manitoba University are sub judice, so these will have to wilh until the verdict is given. Because of reaction to Tone. gerious topics, I am going to write about the most humourous, senseless subject, I know of. That | is myself. The mass of sympathy wasted upon me, by others, is only ex- ceeded by my sorrow - for my aforesaid self. I trace my ancestry back on! my mother's side, four hundred years to a court jester, and on my father's family tree, six hundred solstices, to a clown. So nature has done its part. I know before I write, that I shall be sorry for what I have written, but to Beelzebub the odds. I shall run the risk of losing my job, although this, because of a fortuitous circum: stance, is pretty well secure. And if I tell you this, please do not pass it to the authorities. I have your promise! Thanks! It appears that Stalin, you know who I mean, the Russian autocrat of the proletariat, not reading English any too well, misread, "The Columnist" .ag "The Communist,"" and econse- quently, subsidized this paper. Again I beseech your confidence, when I mention the amount. T% is nine Roubles and thirteen ! Kopeks weekly. I have not time to translate this into Canadian currency, but it is enough to pay me, and leave a profit to the publisher. So, as long as this lasts, I am secure. You might say, and possibly will say, "But surely Stalin is not fool enough to pay anything for such tame stuff." Dear reader, dearest reader, the Russian Boss, like you, like ved, and as long as the subven- me, does not understand the language I use, but takes the intent of the heading for grant- tion keeps coming, we know that Stalin is not stalling. So hush, hush, hush. Speaking of not understood language, I am frequently 'eriti- cised for using big long words. This I must admit is a fault of] mine. I cannot help 'it. At breakfast I say, "Pass the lacteal fluid."" At dinner "Transport the porcelain." And when my. family laughs, 'Why this hideous cachinnation?" : ; As I said, I cannot help it. It is childhood's accident and en- vironment. I reached for pie in the cup- board, standing upon = several volumes of the encyclopedia, and when caught was spanked with a flexible dictionary, or knocked on the head with a grammar. So I am imbued wiht learning at both ends, and the middle. : At the outset of these colum- nar activities, I hoped to conceal my identity. Apparently this was impossible. So I want this article to stand for all time, as the confession of my weaknesses. It saves so much time. Individ- ual - apologies are moreover emi- barrassing. It is _intensely gratifying to me, that the "Columnist" is be- ing world widely read. Encon- iums are: pouring in, from New York to New Zealand. Of course, there ig a little local jealousy, this can never be escaped, but the larger field is waiting for the sunrise. A candid friend once said of me, that I was the most versatile person he had ever met. I be- lieve this to be true. It is more marvellous I think, that I do everything so well. To prove this versatility, I hope soon, to write an article, containing nothing but one and two syllable words, by way of contrast, and evidence. * » 2 Meantime, I am pickling onions.

JETMUNDSON--In loving mem- ory of our dear son and broth- er Alfred Jetmundson, who was accidently killed Septem- ber 2nd, 1930.

Like the ivy on the old oak tree, When all other flowers decay; Our love for him will keep as green And never fade away. Inserted by Father, Jarl, Thea and Robert.

E, GIBSON, Agent The local baseball and soft ball teams will end the season with a big programme on Labor Day, after one of the most sue- cessful seasons of both soft ball and baseball. The opening event at 10 a.m. will be the C.Y.P.C. vs the win- ners of the second series. At 11.15 am. the Sioux Lookout girls vs the Dryden girls soft ball. At 130 pm. a seenod game will be played between the C.Y.P.C. and the winners of the second series, and if each team Wins one game, then a third will be necessary to decide the winners. This will be played September 8th, weather comdi- tions being favourable. At 4 pm. there will be a base ball exhibition game between Dryden and Wabigoon. These teams seem, to be pretty well split on the honours this sum- mer, so this game promises to be a real battle. In the evening a Dance will be held in the Pulp Mill Hall from 9 to 12.30. This is the closing event of the season, so turn out and give the boys your support. ECLIPSE SEEN HERE Everywhere in town citizens were gazing sky-ward just after one-thirty Wednesday afternoon when the eclipse was visible. About seventy-five per cent of the sun's surface was covered and what was visible of old sol appeared in the shape of a new moon. When a thin cloud pass- ed over the spectacle it allowed the sun to be viewed plainly without the aid of smoked glasses and presented a splendid view of the eclipse without the glare. ; and darkness was slightly appar- ent.
