A Decision that Should Be Considered Carefully. A short time ago in Whitby a car crashed into an electric light pole in Whitby, caused the loosing of a live wire and was the indirect cause of the death of Samuel Vanstone by electrocution. The judgment given by Magistrate Hind in his trial of the case and the comments made by the lawyers of the prosecution and dfence, are well worth considering. It is extremely difficult for the average citizen to realize the | necessity for restraint of action in public places. There is so much of public safety at stake that what seem to be quite un- necessary laws have to be passed and enforced for the protection of the public. It is certain that criminal intention almost never enters into | these cases; and great must be the astonishment and remorse that a single unlawful act-can have such terrible consequences. act itself seems trivial but the consequences are frequently mat- ters of life and death. = The itby, Oct. 27.--Wellington Kent, of Sault Ste Marie, ¢harged with criminal negligence as a result of the 'the late Samuel Vanstone who, according to finding bner's jury was electrocuted on the night of October \ live wire hanging from an electric pole, broken by flon with a car owned by Hugh Ross, of Whitby, and REN 7 Wellington Kent, an inexperienced driver.

Gordon Kennedy, also of Whitby, asthird member of the motor party, pleaded guilty to a charge of drinking in a public place. D. A. J. Swanson re- quested leniency for his clients. They were young men, he stated, who hitherto had been in no trouble of any sort. At the cornorer's request they had been frank and fair in their evidence. Mr. Swanson did not think that either Ross or Kennedy had violated other than the letter of the Liquor The very fact that they had taken only six bottles of beer with them for a party of six was proof that "they had not set out to debauch themselves or any other. person. It was agreed by everyone that they were not in- toxicated, counsel stated, and according to his own definition of drunkenness he affirmed that no man was drunk unless he could not perform "the ordinary functions of life in the ordinary manner." Law Violated Crown Attorney McGibbon could not agree with Mr. Swanson's contentions. - He considered that the accused had broken the act and violated its purpose. It was necessary, he claimed, to uphold-the moral-conventions which were for the: potection of both the strong and the weak. He desired that the penalty be such that it should prove a final lesson to both young men. Fines Levied Magistrate Willis could not believe, as Mr. Swanson had stated, that most men got drunk intentionally. It had been his privilege to pass judgment on a number of motor acei- dent cases and he found that there was a certain percentage caused by intoxicated drivers. . The majority were the result of carelessness and inefficiency but science had proved that intoxicating beverages detract rather than add to a man's efficiency. A man in charge of a car should be absolutely 'sober, His worship declared. He took into consideration the ~ fact that Ross and Kennedy were first offenders and fined the * former $100 and costs while Kennedy was assessed $25 and costs." rd ; t Appeal is Dismissed the for defendants. dis-| _ Hearing Begins ih he ry: ewe _mem-.

MA great many things that Sir Sam Hughes said would not be regarded as evidence in court," said Chief Justice Latchford. Foch's Tactics Continuing his argument, Mr, Hall remarked that Sir Arthur Currie had knowre of stories for ten years and 'had done nothing about it. "What could he do?" asked Mr. Orde, "He could not do anything about what was said in Parliament." Referring to the death of a soldier named Price, Mr. Hall said there had been a considerable number of 'deaths on the 11th of November. When the Court remarked that fighting was supposed to continue un- 'til the 11th, he replied: "These were not the tactics followed by Foch, him- self, Casualties Mr, Parmenter objected that there was no evidence of any casualties on the 11th except Price, Objection was taken to the. trial judge's failure to mention witnesses for the defendant who had told of seeing men dead on the 11th. "As to this," Chief Justice Latch- ford remarked, "seeing a man dead on the 11th would not prove anything un- less you showed that he was killed on the 11th in the advance to which you object."

Charles McCrea that an open season for musk- rats will be restored, and also that there will be three days' quail shoot- ing in Essex, Lambton and West Kent this fall. The first is of especial in- terest to trappers who have made frequent representations since issue of an order in Council earlier in the year prohibiting the taking of musk- rat. The Department has since gone into the matter thoroughly, and is ad- vised that muskrat have not been de- pleted as seriously as was thought when the House committee on Fish and Game recommended a complete close season. An open season from March 16 to April 21 has therefore been decided on. The former season was from March 1 to 21. Muskrat pelts marketed in Ontario run 50 per cent greater in total value than any other single fur. The aggre- gate is in the neighborhood of $1,000,- 000 a year. Mink comes second, and beaver next, but these are taken mainly in the far northern part of the province, whereas muskrat has been a staple item of the trappers liveli- hood in many parts of older Ontario. MD: "MeDongds.deputy minister, -- accunfylated"a bulky file of cof=- regpondénce on the 'subject of an open season. Many persons have written direct to the Department, which was given chief consideration however, to reports from Game Wardens R. Em- merton, London; F. Stevenson, Orillia, and J. W. Coffey, Ottawa, in Districts 1, 2 and 3, respectively. These officers interviewed at least 1,000 trappers, who are virtually unanimous for an open season, and reports generally are that the rats are plentiful. "All the Department is interested in is to see that there is sufficient pro- tection," Mr, McDonald said, "and we are quite willing to open the season in view of the favorable report." The area north of the French and Mattawa Rivers, i.e, North-western Ontario, was not affected by the order calling for a close season. Quail shooting will be legal on No- vember 14, 17 and 21, in Essex, Lamb- ton and the electoral district of West Kent. Six birds is the daily bag limit. Gun licenses are required in the area mentioned, except by farmers shoot- ing on their own land. As set forth on the gun license this year, property | owners are entitled to put up "No shooting" signs which must be re- spected by holders of licenses. -- Oa DRIVING PERMITS Have you got your driving permit 'yvet? If not you had better not delay much longer. And be sure to have it with you always when you go motor- ing as the law requires, as the traffic officer is liable to pounce down on you without a moments notice like a thief in the night.
