Chief Chilton of Lindsay is to be sup- plied with a stop-watch by the town council, for the purpose of keeping tab on reckless automobilists. This action is partly the result of Deputy-Reeve Dobson being nearly run down by a car that was travelling at a high speed. is to be hoped the Chief will put a stop to the scorching. The town fathers of Lindsay‘s example, as autos are driven through the streets here at an altogether unnecessary rate. In the vicinity of the bridges, especially the canal bridge, there is particular danger of accidents, and at these places automobiles should be limited to a very low speed and com- pelled to slow down. There is not the slighest necessity or even excuse for travelling as fast as most of the cars are driven, either on the streets or in the country. M The Journalistic Knocker. Toronto Saturday Night has performed a praise-worthy public service in ‘- get- ting after ” and “ showing up " various enterprises of ashady character: But because of its initial ventures in this . direction, the paper appears to thlnk it is in duty bound to pounce on and ex- pose' every enterprise that shows its head. More than one manifestation of this erroneous idea has been deservedly well-rebuked. One of the latest is in connection with Saskatoon real estate, western town talks to Saturday Night in this vigorous fashion : “The west is tired of the tenderfoot talks of the eastern journalistic ass. There has been tea much of it. The most recent instance is that of the report in the Toronto Saturday Night by one Nor- man Harris. This, nomad spreads his material over the entire front page of one section of his paper, in which space is evidently quite cheap. The tone is that of a patronising city-bred youth, who is a bit of a cynic, and yet wants to say something agreeable. But the under- lying purpose is that of the kuocker. If the boy reporter got instructions from his employers to knock, he certainly obeyed his orders. But the wee hammer of Saturday Night will not effect much. That sheet has played the hammer no long that one knoWs what to eXpect. But again we say we are tired of this sort of thing. The boy reporter got out a map show- ing the subdivisions, but his informant did not steer him correctly. Thereisa i mix-up in locations and facts, not only on subdivisions, but on values, which are put at the highest point in each case. Whole districts close to the business districts and railway depots, are marked as open prairie.‘ The man did not know what he was writing about and did not , take the trouble to inform himself. Yet 5 this is the method of the knocker turned 110050 to “ bust the boom " and put things 'right. ' On the subdivision question the Satur- day Night man is-scooped to death. The Saskatoon board. 05 trade and the Saska- :toorr papers- long- ago- took the ground and maintained that outside subdivisions should be avoided! as- d'oubtfu-l invest- :ments» And they have watched for all 1, advertising which misrepresented things _ truth. And any in: airy to the bound- of étradle. or the newspapers irrvariablsy ‘ brought an: answer'and information for prospective investors. The tide of 1growth-ands development is-solstrong in: Saskatoon'anda the permanent develop-- 'ment too near to the hearts of the people in the way of crooked’deali‘ng’. That; is why we- object to the tenderfoot talk of the shallow pittedE “ reporter'of the high "spots." We welcome the eastern journ- alist who comes to see and‘ speak the truth, but those travelling philistines belong out at the nuisance grounds.- Sensible eastern journalists, college men, financial and business agents, pub- ' licists, all experience a patrioti'cdieli ‘t ’ at. the wonderful development of S toon and the west. This city is anuom: the first twelve in the tide of trade; on- ance and building in all Canada. The attitude of Saturday Night is that of the foreigner, not the Canadian, and the report on Saskatoon is on a par with the Semitic, cynical diatFibes. and slave thrown at. the Christian ministry by this' knocker. Newspapers of Canada are endeavoring by an improved all Canada service to educate our people along the same lines, so that east and west may read the same news and discuss the same problems. “'hy this Saturday Night knocker should be permitted to pursue the method of dividing does. not appear. Do eastern readers want that sort of thing ? 0r- Fenelon Falls might. do worse than follow * and the Daily Phoenix of that breezy ’ Greater Than the Ulllled Slates. New York Herald. The testimony of Ml‘. Rockefeller and his associates in the so-called Waters- Pierce suit shows that the supreme ju- dicial power of the United States Gov- ernment has been unable to dissolve the Standard Oil Company. In view of the witnesses' testimony that the Oil Trust survives in everything but name. the question arises, is the Standard Oil Com- pany more powerful than the United States Government ? 7 The Federal authorities made if their best efforts and operated under the most stringent laws on the books-to abolish this fattest of trusts. The result was a paper victory for the people. The real victory, it is now admitted by Mr. Rock- efeller, was won by the ‘oil company, which is run in practically the some old way, by the same old men, with profits even greater than formerly. Mr. Rockefeller, whose private for- tune is now estimated at one billion dol- lsrs, expresses his disgust that the Gov- ernment should have interfered at all with his company. In view of his tes- timony, the Government may also be- come disgusted, and may demand to know why the “Oil Trust," once dis- solved, should not remain dissolved. It Mrs. GfBabcock Killed. in Railway Collision at Grass Hill. On Saturday evening a bad railway accident occurred at Grass Hill station, when a double header and caboose, in charge of Conductor Roach and engine- ers Carr and Might, crashed into a pass- enger train standing at the station. The passenger train was bound for Coboconk, _ and had left Lindsay about twenty min- utes before the double header, which was going to Midland. One woman, Mrs. Garfield Babcock, of Lindsay. was killed. Mrs. C. A. Plank of Lorncville, Mr. Jns. Black of Bexley, and Mr. Jos. Lytlc, Victoria Road, were severely injured. There were a number of almost miracul- ous escapes. ‘Dr. Blanchard, coroner, was taken on a special train to the scene of the accident, and Dr. McKay of Lorne- ville was also in attendance. Mrs. Plank and Messrs. Black and Lytle were taken to their homes and the body of Mrs. Babcock to her-home in Lindsay. Mrs. Babcock was a daughter cf Mr. Geo. Calvert of Lindsay. She is survived by her husband and two children. Among the passengers were-Messrs. J as. Steele of Eldon, \Vnrdon ol’ the county, Benjam- in Stacey, clerk of Eldon,'and Mr. L. R. Knight, barrister, of Lindsay. who had narrow escapes. Mrs. Babcock's death was instantaneous. Mr. Lytlc's back was injured, and one of Mr. Black's logs broken. The coaches were tclcscoped, but did not leave the track. An inquest in connection with the accident will be held in Lindsay on Monday evening next. Sheep Expert Appointed. In consequence of the work initiated by the members of the Sheep Commission. the Minister of Agriculture has received from time to time, requests for special assistance in connection with certain roblems relating to both sheep and wool industries of the Dominion. The final disbanding of the Commission has made it necessary that definite provision be made for the efl‘ective administration of the policy 'to which the Department is committed, to further the development of the keeping of sheep in Canada. The Minister has, therefore, considered it advisable to arrange for the appointment of a sheep expert to assume charge. under the Live Stock Commissioner, of the work to be undertaken in futherancc of this policy. _ He has been fortunate in-securing for this position Mr. T. R. Arkell, Professor of Animal Husbandry in the New Hamp- shire Agricultural College. Mr. Arkell is the son of Henry Arkell, Esq., Arkell, Ontario, the well known breeder of Ox- ford Down Sheep. Mr. Arkell is to join the staff of the Live Stock Branch before the middle of the current month and will proceed immediately to the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta to advise with the wool growers regard- in the handling of their present season's clip and to make preliminary arrange- ments for the undertaking of an exten- sive experimental shipment of Canadian wool to Great Britain in 1913. A system- ,aud endeavored to controvert error with ‘ atic collection of wool samples will also be- commenced immediately to provide , for-illustration exhibits of wool, requests for which have already been received from several of our Agricultural Colleges and Winter Fair Boards. A comprehen‘ isive' short to systematilzevuidlimprove- the methods employed in connection iforthcmzto‘want tosencoumnge'auything 5wi'tl’r the production and sale of wool will, undoubtedly, greatly assist in en- couraging sheep. farmers throughout the Dumi'nion and in stimulating a' wider interest in the business. 'Thi's work,. therefore, will receive Mr. Arkell’s fl'rst attentionzand-wiil constitute the primary step- i'n‘ an active and energetic pro- paganda which it is hoped may promote the organization of a; prosperous and. progressive industry.
