1 W The Toronto World is right when it says the Ontario Government must either enforce, modiâ€" fy or répeal the O.T.A. The lamentable‘ affair at Sandwich, where an officer of the law, Rev. J.°O. L. Spracklin, killed a man named, Trumble, will bring up the whole question of Taw enforceâ€" ment, and the methods employed by the officers «charged with the task of administering the act. ‘The people of Ontario, by defeating Premier Hearst, made law enforcement difficult, espeâ€" ‘cially when powerful friends of the government are determinedly opposed to the O.T.A. a report is promised in ® short time., It is said the report will contain recommendations in reâ€" gard to PoI?ce Magistrates, Registrars and posâ€" sibly Sheriffs. Amalgation of public offices was suggested at many of the sessions of the comâ€" mittee and. may be urged upon the government It is the opinion of investigators that one set of officials could transact the business of three or four of the smaller counties. The report is awaited with much interest. One of the seventeen or eighteen commusâ€" sions appointed by the Ontario Government durâ€" ing the twelve months of its existence is what is known as the Public Service Commussion. W. D. Gregory, of Oakville, is the Chairman, and An Ontario press dispatch gives the followâ€" ing information regarding the extent to which pensioners who are on the temporary list are availing themselves of the cash offer instead of the monthly payments. The monthly pension bill for soldiers is, being reduced about four huy‘ndred thousand a month on account of reâ€" turned men with disabilities from five to 14 per cent. commuting their pensions and cashing in instead of drawing a small monthly allowance. Twenty thousand are taking advantage of the commutation privilege, and 8$,500 have done so already and been paid an average of $430.00. The total amount paid is $3,650,000, and when all are commuted it will be nine millions.

Thereâ€" fore, if the freeâ€" traders‘ contentions are well founded, binder twine should be cheaper in Canâ€" ada than in the United States. But such is not the case. Mr. James Weir, a prominent Alberta farmer, giving evidence before the Tariff Comâ€" mission at Calgary, testified that the price of binder twine to the Western farmer was 20¢ per pound, whereas the price to the American farmer was 16c per pound. Mr. J. Edmund Jones, recently \ appointed Deputy Police Magistrate in Toronto, is well known to many readers of this paper. He is a son of the late Rev. Septimus Jones, for many years rector of the Church of the Redeemer,. Toâ€" Tonto, and was Secretary to the Committee which compiled the Church hymnal. He has taken great interest in work among boys, is a lawyer, a man of sound judgment, and should fill the position satisfactorily and well. * "[Ehis year, nineteenâ€"hundredâ€"andâ€"twenty, is the golden year of the record of the oldest inâ€" habitant of Ontario, says the Sunday World. . Never before such a year of beautiful, even weaâ€" ther and of abundant crops! A Golden Year, the like of which was never seen before. From a year ago, up to toâ€"day, has it been so. And perhaps it may be but the beginning of a series of golden years, for that is one of the laws of weather and circumstance to persist or continue once started.. All over Ontario the farmers with teams or tractors are plowing in mellow fieldsâ€" not hard, resisting soils If they got started rather late, every day now seesa widening range of the freshâ€"furrowed acres. . When the war beâ€" gan, and some years previous, the times and the weather seemed out of joint; but 1920 marks a great turn, perhaps, as said above, the beginâ€" ning of a friendly series of golden years. Anyâ€" way it is the farmer‘s chance. And Canada, notâ€" withstanding certain drawbacks, is coming out of the great war in the full flow of a quick and happy recovery. Very different from unhappy Europe and the fate of starving millions in Chiâ€" ‘na!l Now let the price of commodities come «down; let building revive, let new houses be built, let radial railways and power and light be distributed all over Ontario at cost. Let us ‘get back to the simpler life. No more silk shirts at sixteen dollars for men or twentyâ€"five dollar boots for women. We must work and save; and we can work and save and be a hapâ€" pier people after our sad experience of war. The reign of the profiteer has come to an end; _he must go back with the still greater sinners who began the war. There need be no golden vear for them. PAGE Twenty families occupying one house in Toâ€" ronto with common use of one bath room, and sanitary facilities sufficient only for one family, is a sad comemntary on the cocksuredness of Toâ€" ronto City Council in turning down the Hearst Housing Act and going it alone on "something just as good." s BSCRIPTION RATESâ€"3$2.00 per. year 30.

CHARTERS, Pres. wWEDNESDAY, NOV. 10TH ED | T O R1A L NOTES wWESTON VÂ¥. CHARTERS, Sec.â€"Trea 1920 in advance to ar in advance Rev. E. J. Adams, of Collingwood, in the course of a Thanksgiving Day sermon, made the following reference to the Press: "The Préess of Canada," he said, "is a strong voice for the up: lift of the people of the Dominion. On all moral issues it is in the main, on the side of the right." fOT ‘The great numbers of dmvorees annud") granted in the United States and the many evils to society resulting therefrom, has caused â€" Mr. Justice Benedict, of the Supreme Court, Brookâ€" lyn, to strongly condemn the State Legislature, which has changed the divoree law as to allow guilty parties to apply for permission to marty again after a period of three years instead of five years, as the law previously required. "It has become my firm conviction, after many years‘ experience upon the bench, that the only really effective way to cure the soâ€"called ‘divorce evil‘ would be to make it practically impossible for either party to the marriage to marry any one else during the lifetime of the other party," he declares. He also expresses the opinion that a very large proportion of divorce suits would never be brought if the plaintiff were prohibitâ€" ed from contracting a new . alliance, arrangeâ€" ments for which are not infrequently made beâ€" fore the suit is begun. Justice Benedict deâ€" clares that the Supreme Court of New York is constantly striving to lessen the divorce evil while efforts are being made in various States, including New York, to loosen the marriage relation. "Such Socialistic attacks, however veiled they may be, should be combated at every point if the sanctity of marriage is to be pre served." Pledged to the expenditure of no less than $20,000,000 in the development of its iron, coal and steel properties on the Maritime seaboard, the British Empire Steel Corporation is already taking active measures to utilize to the full its vast natural resources. Since the appointment of Mr. H. J. MecCann as Assistant Genetal Manâ€" ager of the Dominion Coal Company, no less than $6,000,000 have been votedâ€"or repairs, imâ€" provements, and new departures at the different collieries. Mr. McCann intends to put the mines in the best condition so that an increased output can be obtained and the market handled satisâ€" factorily.. The directors of the Company have authorized the expenditure of $2,500,000 on new machinery and equipment at all the collieries. One million five hundred thousand dollars is to be spent in sinking a new shaft and other shafts are to be extended. Six hundred thousand dolâ€" lars has been voted for the renewal and replaceâ€" ment of existing machinery, and $125,000 has been authorized for the purchase of electric safety lamps in all the mines. These first fruits of the new incorporation should be welcomed by all Canada. Certainly Nova Scotia will reâ€" joice in expenditures which must stimulate its industrial expansion. At the present stage in national â€" development, â€" powerful corporations possessing adequate resources and international experience, introducing new capital into the Dominion, providing employment for Canadian labor, and paying national taxes, are of great advantage to Canada. ago the Army was scarcely known outside the United Kingdom. Toâ€"day its operations are being carried on in 65 countries, officers are telling the gospel story in 37 languages and dialects, and hope is being revived in thousands of men and wonmren who to all outward appearances had fallâ€" en so Tow that restoration was almost impossible. Not so long ago, Army officers were "despisedâ€" and rejected" in Torento by those in positions of wealth and authority. On Saturday Tast Mayor Church and a great throng of citizens welcomed General Booth at the City Hall. On Sunday afâ€" ternoon Massey Hall was unable to accommodate the thousands who were anxious to do honor to the distinguished leader. _ Sir W m. Mulock, Chief Justice, presided and eXpressed the belief that no other organization had done equally good work during the years of its history. President Falconer of Toronto University, moved and Atâ€" torneyâ€"General Raney seconded a. vote of thanks, at the conclusion of the General‘s address.. All of which goes to show that the spirit of brotherâ€" hood, so stromgly advocated by the Army, is growing in spite of the many hindrances of the material age in which its work has been so marâ€" vellously developed. May the army go on and prosper is the wish of all who have followed its meritorious efforts on behalf of the homeless, the widow, the orphan and the criminal. The visit to Canadayof Gemeral â€" Bramwell Booth, Head of the Salvation Army, and the manner in which he is being received in all places he is able to speak, bears testimony to the sucâ€" cess of the wonderful movement of which he is now the leader. A little more than a generation One of the most influential of the Imperial Press delegates in an editorial to his paper since returning home, says: "I have now a fuller realization of the gigantic effort which was put forth, to help the Mother Country in the great European warn It is, I really believe, only by a visit to Canada that"the. average. Englishman can realize this toâ€"its full extent. When he mixes with the people in their offices and shops and warehousé%when he visits them in smaAll townships out West, on the wide, open prairie, in the Iumber camps, and indeed in every walk of life, then he finds that practically every young man, and very many middleâ€"aged ones, too, answered the call of duty, left their busiâ€" ness at great sacrifice and came over to help us. The losses, too, were as termible as they were here aft home. And when we remembéer that Canada has now a population of only some eight millions, the homes that were bereaved are, I believe, quite as numerous as Ours. The money that was raised for the Red Cross and other work was correspondingly great; while the women acted an equally noble part in keepâ€" ing the home fires burning. #And the result of it all has been that never before in its history has Canada been so attached to the Old Counâ€" try. Everywhere our kinship is proclaimed. Everywhere the Englishman is welcomed as a companion and a brother. There is a oneness that nothing but this war could have engenderâ€" ed. It is the ardent desire of all true Canadians that their country should be peopled by m®@n and women of the Englishâ€"speaking race. It is to them the preference will be given, and it is they who must make haste to possess a land of great possibilities teeming with wealth for the steady worker."
