Canada. panics that make their own rates with Britain, Germany and gas. a. medium. of_’ cheap distribution. The Dominion inherits British tra- ditionsâ€"why not follow them? Why wait for Uncle Sam? , Canada already has the nucleusof a parcel post syst€m which only needs extension and expansion to'meet the reasonable demands of the people, and the task of the government is there- fore so greatly simplified that no rea- son can be presented why the needed order should not be forthwith issued. 'We do not need to wait for Uncle Sam. .The Local Option Fight in Peterborough. From The Montreal Witness. A good deal of interest naturally cen- tresround Pcterborough, the only city .upou the list, which at present holds ftweuty-four. licenses. Three years ago 'a Local.0ption fight took place in Peter- borough. This resulted in a majority of five hundorcd andten for the bylaw. . This was about igwohundered votes short of the maisoitxy required by the three-fifths handicap. The city loun- cil, however, was induced to cut: off; about six licenses. This. year the tem- pporance people are-entering the contest .with unabated courage. A strong citi- .zens' committee has been formed to .conduct the campaign, and it is believed that better organization is operating than upon the last, occasion. A number let the people who opposed Local Option :three years ago have declared their intention of supporting the by-law this year. That temperance sentiment in Ontario is making rapid and solid gains isshown by both the actions and words of public men._ Upon the one hand we have the. the anti-treating propositions of the Government;_and Sir James Whit- ney’s statement tothc- recent temper- ance convention: “I will beglad on any other occasion to help along even a little the causn you have at heart. The public man who is unwilling to do all in community." Upon the other we have Mr. Rowell, his.“ Banish the Bar "‘poliv cy and his. declaration. of. war-z “The rising tide of. public- sentiment" has. mmmmmmm Precisely similar conditions exist in Canada toxthose which compelledin the United States the establishment of a: cheap parcel post system. The agitation in that country in that di- rection is of comparatively recent date ; but the utterly unfair methods the express companies exposed during the investigation instituted by the In- ter-State Commerce Commission rap- idly drew it to a head. N 6w the com- panies will have not only a drastic reduction in their rates, but a govern- ment parcel post system on the zone system, which will encourage direct sumers, and thus tend to reduce the cost of living that is so much the sub- The Dominion Government, the peo~ :ple of Canada are now informed, will follow with keen interest the opera- . tions of the parcel post in the United - ‘States, with a view to the expansion and extension of the system in Canada. The postmaster-general, who made that announcement on Monday, evidently 'expects it to be taken as an. indication of the progressive character of his pol icy. But why, it may well be asked, should Canada wait on Uncle Sam in ithis connection? J ustification. for the festablishmont ‘of' a parcel post service in the United States was sought and found in the experience of Britain, Germany and other European coun- tries. What United Stateeiuusstiga- ‘tors learned. is. quite well' known in Opposition to optimal; post in the-v Dominion comes from. the same source that ofiered, it in, the republicâ€"the iexpresswompanies. They do not want 5their monopoly disturbedâ€"a monopoa .' ~1y, too, controlled by the railway com- their.- subsidiaries. Canada. today is carrying paircels from and to Euro- _ pean countries inthe postal union-at rates far below what the-express com- panies are charging; within the Dom- ;inion itself. other Eup'opean nations have found the parcel post of. inestimable benefit a social menace, prejudicial alike to the home, to the Church and to the state. and that this being so the time has come when the bar should be abolished." , Addressâ€"and“Presentation. On Monday afternoon Mr. Stewart Mason was presented with a handsome umbrella, with Masonic. emblem, on be- half of the congregation and-choir of St. Andrew’s Church, prior to his depurturo for \Veston. The presentation was made by Miss S. Martin, and Mrs. E. A. Mc- Arthur read the address, which was as follows: Mr. Stewart Mason :â€" On this the occasion of your leaving our town, church and choir, we beg to assure you of our profound regret, because of the loss the town, church and choir sustain by your going. You have been an intelligent citizen and good churchman, and especially have we prized your helpfulness and uniform courtesy in the church and choir, which you supported so loyaily and loved so dearly. Now that the good- bye must be said, please accept our assurance of affection and interest in your future, and carry with you this slight token of our deep regard. On behalf of the church and choir, C. S. Lord, Mrs. E. A. McArthur, Mrs. J. S. Northey, V. McKendry, S. S. Martin, J. J. Lee. Curlers’ Concert. A real treat was enjoyed on Thursday evening last by those who attended the curlers’ concert, at which a programme of very exceptional merit was given by Miss Lucy chliug and Mr. Walter McRayc, to a wellâ€"filled house. Miss Webling and Mr. McRaye presented two or three short comedies, full of humorous situations, and Mr. McRaye gave selections from the “I-Iabitant” poems of Dr. Drummond in a manner very pleasing to the large audience. Able assistance was rendered by the orchestra. composed of Miss Parrish, piano; Messrs. E. Chambers, first violin; R‘. Virtue, second' violin; W. Chambers, bass viol; H. Littleton, cornet; G. F. Vicars, trombone; and H. Hathaway, mandolin, The orchestra deserves spe- cial- mention for. their excellent music. Hathaway. E. and W. Chambers was also much appreciated.

' The minutes of previous meeting were. i Bobcaygeon Satisfied with Local Option. Lindsay Post Corr. :~â€"â€"At the regular meeting of the village council, held in the council chamber last night a petition was presented for the purpose of sub- mittiuga by-law to vote on the repeal of local option here, but there were only 59 names who were voters, on it, hence it was useless. as it required 77 to make the twenty-five per cent. of the voters, so that the council would be compelled to submit the by-luw to tho ratepayers. The names on the petition show that they hadbcen all over the village, but with all they still lacked 18 names of voters to make it of any use. The council received it and put it on file, but took no action in the matter. The antis were out in full force and when they were informed that the petition lacked the required 25 per cent. of the voters, and was worthless, no one muttered, and not a word was uttered, but like good citizens, they .uietly rose and'started home. This speaks well for local option, which has been in force here for nearly three years now. If Lindsay and Fenelon Falls carry local option, it will work still better here as the most of the “ wet goods " come here from these two places, so the tempera- ance people of Bobcaygeou are watching the campaigns that are being waged on behalf of local option in these two adjacent towns, with much interest. _.-o Lumpy Rabbit. Owen Sound Sun :â€"-Occasionally hun- ters and sportsmen have, during the last two or three years, noticed on many of the hares that have been shot, small watery lumps or blisters between the skin. and the flesh on the bar-ks of the animals. Naturally 'it was concludch that the flesh is unlit for food purposes, and to make certain, Dr. Jamieson, of Durham. sent one of these lumps to the Provincial analyst a few days ago for an opinion. The. latter replied that the lump will cause tapeworm in dogs. but. if cutout, the remaining portion of the- rabbit or hare is all right for human food. However, although this may ho true, we would rather- not lutve any lumpy rabbit, thank you, even if the. lumps are cut out. _ 0‘.
