From the head of Gull Lake to Moore's Fallsâ€"eight milesâ€"the average depth of the water is one hundred feet. It is felt that, if a lock were put in at Moore’s Falls, where the government dam is now in process of erection, a big step would be made in connecting these waters with the Trent Canal system, and extending the stretch of navigable wat. ers very considerably and very profit- ably, and in a way to add to the import- ance of the canal, and’ confer important direct advantages upon the district, and equally important indirect advantages upon the country at large. The people of Mindeu and vicinty feel that they are warranted in urging the connection pro- posed upon the practical attention of the government, and the public may soon hear of steps being taken to endeavor to enlist government attention.

For some as yet undisclosed reason the Toronto Globe is using consid- erable space trying to make its read- ers believe that protection is Socialism. The Globe knows that protection is obstruction to trade, and it imagines Socialism to be something it calls “the collective authority,” a tyrannical ruling power which goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom it may obstruct and restrict and prevent and finally devour. Consequently protec- tion is Socialism, and Socialism is protection, because they are both ob- structive, according to the Globe. The Globe claims to have traced Socialism in the protectioii' or trade obstruction system, but it is impossible to trace the Globe’s tracing. Evidence- and argument are completely absent. There is nothing but bare assertion. The Globe says it has received a flood of correspondence taking excep- tion to its utterances on the subject, with accusations of ignorance, stupid- ity, verbal quibbling and insincerity. The Gazette happens to know that at least one“ of the communications_.was not of- this nature. In the mildest possible manner it directed attention to the postal service and the public roads as examples of social or collec- tive ownership, or as near it as any- thing can be under the present com- petitive system. , _ It was pointed out that the;poatali service andtbe roads are entirely ' free ' from objectionable obstructive features, and that there is absolutely notlthe slightest reason to suppose. thatiwiderpr complete ~collec- tive “ownership; and democratic man- Sapping Life of Rural Ontario. « Barrie Saturday Morning. The mail order houses, insane specu- lation and the treck to the West are the three great influences which are sapping the life out of the rural sections of On- tario. But there will be a reactibn some time. The rurall population will wake up some day to the conclusion that it is about “time these things should stop. The prosperous villages and towns that used to cover the provinces are falling by the wayside, simply because the rural population has been sending the money that should go to support these towns away to the city, to let the" big moguls of the mail order houses buy steam yachts and endow hospitals. But would n’t it be fairer if this money were kept at home and distributed amongst the numerous business places whid indi- rectly support the schools, the libraries and other' institutions that make life in the rural sections more pleasant, more especially when the local merchant can, can. in nine cases out of ten, meet the competition of the mail order houses, and can frequently do better ? ‘ W North Wants Better service. The Haliburton correspondent of the Bobcaygeon Independent says: Is it not time that another eifdrt was made to have the mid day train that runs th Kinâ€" monnt continued here. Fenelon Falls has two regular trains and a special evening train, Kinmonnt has two regular Minden and Haliburton get their mail next day. Gelert, Lochlin, Goulds, are all stations to summer resorts, an hour- or so drive away, and a service that makes people leave Toronto at eight in. the morning and delivers them at their resort at eight at night, and gets them at four in the morning when returning home, is not going to develop traffic very- rapidly. _If the Co. waits for tralfic to develop under such conditions it will wait till doomsday. Surely that Kin- monnt train can be brought here during the summer months, only a matter of two hours at most for the return trip, and if this cannot be done every day, why not at least two days a week, Wednesdays and Saturdays. The Post Oillce Depart- ment might do something to geta better mail service. nut-nulls Globe’s idea is different. Asa: sample ofwhat collective owner- . ship and democratic management mean it points to the law prohibiting the manufacture of substitutes for butterp Beingf-in a. tight position, the Globe naturally looks for lubricants, and isgannoyed because it can’t get the o'leo. {It says ,“ we have democratic management of the means of life in the law prohibiting the manufacture I Concert at Rosedale.
