LI a government as that led by the late Sir Oliver Mowat. So that in this country-and it is the same elsewhere-party names are without any Special significance. ' T At the present time Canada has a Federal administration composed of the two distinct ele- ments of the population. The greater number of Mr. King's followers are conservative in policy and temperament. The Prime Minister, himself,' is a radical. Around him are a com- paratively small number who share his radical views. The party is held together by considera- tion of personal interest. There is no perman- ence in such a combination. A government whose ministers take two diametrically Oppo- site positions on the trade policy of the' country cannot endure very long. That fact is apparent to Premier King:. Hence his, desire for a coali- tion with the really radical party in Parliament -the farmers. Fusion of the King; radicals and the farmer radicals is the most natural-and per- haps' inevitable-development of the near Hu- ture. What then? It is difficult to see how the ultra-conservatives from Quebec can accept a union with these forces. Sir Lomer Gouin, the leader of that wing of the Liberal party, could probably detach from the King following- at least sixty-five members. He could not carry all the Quebec representatives, but he would take most of those from the Maritime Provinces. And if that separation should occur the Gouin faction would be a realwpposition, whether it was absorbed by Mr. Meighcn or played a lone hand. l It is reasonably clear that the present parlia- ment cannot last long. It will break up because of the heterogeneous character of the govern-. ment part. That is well within the possibilities of the next session. If Mr. Neighen had been willing to ditchthe National Railway he could id all 1)robitffi,1itirchave been returned to power. HisunWIIhngnessto consent to that line of pol- icymkesitdifficultior _the Conservatives of ”They are, em- on reverse _ "Anthracite is beginning to arrive on this side of the border in small quantities, and within a month, should be coming in freely. This Prov- ince is assured, between now and April, 60 per cent. of the quantity it obtained from Pennsyl- vania last winter, and, with economy, this ought to prevent any great distress in really cold weather. The public has, so far, shown serenity of temper over the coal issue. If there is the same disinclination to rise to baits put out by scare-mongers, the season will get through with a steady price condition." "A New York firm" has announced, through the State Fuel Commission, retail prices for Manhattan and the Bronx. These are: Egg, stove and nut, $13.25; pea, $10.75; buckwheat, $8.20. This firm say/s that the only mine prices announced so far come from independent opera- tors, and are a dollar more than last year, but the price it quotes for future delivery is only 15 cents a ton higher,than the March quotation for the same class of coal. That is, in the heart of the vast New York district, which uses ten times as much anthracite as Toronto, there is no substantial difference in- prices, as between this season and last. It is about as. far from the Pennsylvania mines to New York as to Buffalo and Toronto, and if the-Atlantic price is that low, higher prices than last year's will assuredly not be warranted in this Province. We are af- ready paying from two to three dollars more per ton. A recent issue of The Mail and Empire con- tains the following regarding the course which should be followed by all householders in rela- tion to the serious coal situation which is sure to give great inconvenience before the winter is over, unless the greatest care and economy is exercised: "The talk of $20 anthracite in To- ronto is born either of ignorance or scheming It is "scare" propaganda in either case. There will be no excuse for a charge to the public that exceeds, by more than a dollar, the price last Winter. That is, stove and nut and egg sizes ought not to exceed $16.50 a ton. Offers of more may be made by citizens who want coal at any price, and greedy dealers may yield to their importunity, but intrinsically an excess will not be warranted by the price of the line companies, or the costs of. delivery."

WILSON. Manager. THETIMES MI) GUIDE “‘HE CHARTERS PUBLISHING co., LIJII'I‘ED S. CHARTERS, Pres. N C. V. CHARTERS, Sec.-Treas REASONABLE COAL PRICES WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1922 Published every Wednesday by A TANGLED SKEIN WESTON _The alarming increase in' fatal automobile accidents, particularly in the large cities, has resulted in plans' for a national '/safety first" campaign to be carried on throughout the Do- minion with the co-operation of the Canadian National Safety League. J. F. H. Wyse, gen- eral manager of the National League, and also the Ontario Safety League, declared that deaths in automobile accidents for the first six monthh of 1922 showed an increase of more than 50 per cent. over the fatalities for the same period last year, despite all the precautionary measures that have been taken. A fine isrmot sufficient. A driver, who, through carelessness or reckless- ness, imperils the safety and life of our citizens should go to jail. It is not the aut'omobilists alonewho are to blame for the present situation, as the records show that many of the fatal accidents are due to carelessness of pedestrians. The present campaign is to be carried out in co-operation with the famous Lasky Film Ser- vice, which is presenting in leading theatres throughout the Dominion a Cecil B. De Mille production entitled "Manslaughter," based on the book of the same name by Alice Duer Miller. The picture, which will be shown in Toronto at the Regent Theatre during the week of October 16, is a vivid portrayal of the story of a girl, typifying the present. speed-mad age, who is convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to prison for three years for killing a policeman through reckless driving. More than 500,000,000 letters and postcards, and some 250,000,000 newspapers are carried through the Canadian_mails in_the course of a year's business, according to figures presented by the Post Office.Departnient to the confer- ence of postal officials. In addition 50,000,000 parcels-and 250,000,000 circulars, etc., are han- dled. The_statement giving approximate fig- ures for, a year's business showed that in the course of twelve months 10,000,000 money orders and 6,000,000 postal notes are issued. There are 12,200 post offices operated, and 12400 mail routes. The summary of a year's business was given to the postal officials as indicative of the place-of the post office in the business life of the Dominion. Translated into dollars, the mail service expenditure for a year was stated to be $15,000,000, and the annual cost of rural delivery service $1,750,000. Postage stamp sales in the course of a year, it was pointed out, reach the enormous total of $28,350,000, while money order transactions entailed the changing hands of $270,000,000. Postal note transactions, totalled $25,000,000. and there was on deposit in the post office savings bank approximately '25,- 000,000. Of all the days of the year that should be particularly honored, Armistice Day occupies a premier position. This is the day when cere- mohies are held to recall the proud part which Canadians in common with the rest of the Empire's fighting forces played in the greatest war. in history. Armistice D'ay should not be regardéa'as a day of mourning, but rather one tiiflf,irj,)i'tirejoicimr, 21,1151 pride. - 2.2 ’ During a period of 12 months the Pennsyl- vania railroad carried 15h()()(),000 persons, on 1,400,000 passenger trains, running over 11,000 miles of road without a single passenger being killed by a train accident. In five years 9,101 persons were killed and 14,000 injured on grade crossing accidents. The Pennsylvania has pro- mulgated the following rules for all those approaching railroad crossings: (1) Slow down; (2) shift into lower gear to prevent stalling on the tracks; (3) look in both directions; (4) listen; (5) do not try to beat a train over a crossing-stop if the train is approaching; (6) after a train has passed, make sure that no others are approaching in either direction; (7) be doubly careful at night and on strange roads. The special effort to be made throughout the Dominion for a "forest preservation week" re- calls an attractive plan which, under the name of "communal fofests," looks an excellent idea. The scheme, which is a United States one, suggests that each town should possess its own forest glades. "Every town its own forests" is the slogan. The Cornell University agricultural experiment station has been investigating a scheme for such a forest for the good people of Ithaca, New York. Many towns in the latter state have acquired land for the purpose, it is interesting to note. But the idea is by no means new, because such forests have existed in Eur- ope for hundreds of years. Zurich has a com- munal forest of 2,840 acres dating back to 1309. 'Tis said that the Zurich forest brings in the town an annual revenue of $20,000. The latter aspect of the question is interesting. _ ing the policy of national ownership of railways. The political situation, therefore, is a tangled skein that may be beyond the genius of Sir Lomer Gouin to unravel/and may at any time 'precipitate a general election.-Sentinel. The Globe has given friendly support to the King government since its organization. But the old Liberal organ does not approve of the action, or, rather, inaction of the administration in its dealings with the national railway system. During the 1921 session of Parliament Mr. King and his followers kne wexactly what should be "done with the roads and promised to put their policyvint‘o force if returned to power. They have beenNin office eight months, and the only thing they have done is to dismiss the president, who was making a success of the roads, and his board of directors. The Globe on Friday called upon Mr. King to have the offices filled at once, that public ownership may have the "fair trial" promised. This is the position taken by Mr. Meighen. -lr , , They are still trying to kill each other in Ireland, and succeeding in numerous instances. Those who earnestly strive for Home Rule in the belief that it would end the strife which for years had filled the land with murderers, will surely learn that they were deceived. The re- tirement of De Valera from the command of the rebels is said to foreshadow another outbreak of murder and arson. Cooler nights are now at hand. This is the time to exercise economy in the use of fuel. Much that may be unnecessarily used during the next two months will be very desirable during the following three or four months. In the matter of saving fuel: "Don'e put off till to- morrow what you can do today." THE TIMES ANJL GUIDE, WESTON Having made this needed assertion and given this clear proof of His deity, Jesus fell bick into His place as the son of Mary-and Joseph. "He was subject. unto them.", He doubtless helped(His father about the carpenter- ing,(Mk. 6:3) and His mother about her domestic work, and He was just as truly "about His Father's business" when carrying water and making fires in Nazareth as when in the temple ask- ing questions. For nearly tweny years longer He remained in the humble ob- scurity of Nazareth. He did not chafe at the commonplace life, though con- scious of power to fill a vastly larger isphere.‘ That quiet life was a neces- 'sar_v preparation for the work the Father had given Him to do. During these years Jesus was growing. If we too are in a humble sphere there there seems to be little else to do we can at least grow. That is the best thing a child can do anyhow if his growth, like that of Jesus, is not only in stature but in wisdom and favor with God as well. Jesus could grow (because) He was a real human being. He had voluntarily put aside divine glory to become a real man (Phil. 2:6, 7: Mark 10-32). He was perfect as a flrabe and boy, but the perfection of (manhood is a higher form of perfec- ltion than the perfection of childhood, and more pleasing to God. So He "in- creased in favor with God" as He grew from perfect'boyhood into per- feet manhood. Even in this simple story of the boyhood of Jesus we get glimpses of depth of suggestion, e. g., regarding the unity of Deity and Hu- manity, in His one per50n, that the T wisest philosopher reannotf fathom. . - known that, wherever He was, He was just where He ought to be. While Mary arrdNppeplx were surprised that He was in the temple, Jesus was sur- prised that they should search for Him at all instead of coming right there, fully assured that He was there. There is no note of apology or regret in Jesds' reply. Though the most dutiful tender and obedient of sons (v. 51; Jno. 19-26, 27), He was conscious that He was something more than "the son of Mary" (comp. Jno. 2:3, It), and that Mary must for her own sake be made to realize this fact. So. while Mary says “thy father and I sought thee, etc.," Jesus, answered, "Wist ye not that I must be in my Father's house?" He points her front the hu- man reputed (ch. 3:23) parentage to the divine real parentage. This ikthe first recorded utterance of Jesus, and like the last,(ch. 23:46), its central thought is "God is my Father." Neith- er Mary nor Joseph understood Jesus even yet (v. 5%)).
