Since coming into otfiee. Mr. Ferguson has demon- strated in more ways than one his fitness for the pos1ti0n thrust upon him last June by the electors of this province. In se'blecting Dr. Jamieson to the chairmanship of one of the most important committees of the Hovernnwnt. the premier once more has demonstrated his ability to se- lect business men for business posi- tion. Dr. Jamieson’s most rabid 0p- ponent must aflmit that he was and 1'- ...--~. "‘J.I‘ n-v ______ i; a good business man. He must also admit that Dr. Jamieson, while not actively engaged himself, is no novice in the art of farming. He is one of Ontario‘s few "business farm- ers." and if there can be anything derived by such a committee as he now heads in the way of helping the farmers of the province make the best of their opportunities. the Doc-‘ tor may be depended upon to achieve results. In its issue of May 17, The Financial Post. the best barometer we haw as regards the. business con- ditions of Canada. says editorially : PAGE FOUR "u'flntai-ii‘» has a legislative commit- tee studying the agricultural situa- tion with the object. of recommend- ing poliries that. will improve condi- tions. Already facts have been brought out slu’iwing that farmers ran clnulile lllt'MDt‘S without increas- ing wists or working any harder than they do now. It. is merely a matter of applying business principles. It all farmers would run their farms with the same intelligence as do our successful business concerns, the farmers would be equally prosper- ous. .\ great many of them are. “The government made what. would appear to be a wise choice in putting the member for South Grey, Dr. David Jamieson. at the head of the committee. He knows Canadian mmlitions from all important angles. He has proved by his own career that with reasonable intelligence, reasonably industry. any Canadian boy -:m get all the comfort and sat- isfaction he dseires without crossing the border. The doctor is a farmer’s son who has lived his life. practiced his prot’ossit‘m. developed industries, all of them successfully, in a rural community that. is unblessed by naâ€" ture with little but. a rocky soil. yet is most. prosperous.

All with the. object. of showing the farm- ers of the district. another source of revenue. W’e would imagine in a town the size of Kincardine it would be an easv matter to capture anyone who maae a practice of selling tobacco to minors. If, on the other hand, it were the enforcement of prohibition, it. might be more difficult, as the bootleggers are well organized and. strange to Say, oftentimes have as their patrons, some of the blue- “Th3 ductm‘ lit-liM’es fmm associa- tion with ”“111, that. all the average Canadian farmer wants is to be shown how to makv the best out of his farm.

Kincartline Council was presented recently with a petition Signed by titty of the town women calling at- tention to the laxity with which the law against the. sale of tobacco and cigarettes to minors was living en- forced. Almost. anyone can present a petition of regret that something or other is not right. But. did theSe women know what they were talk- ing about? The character of the petition would say that they did. Then why not. state the who and where of the situation. General ac- cusations are not the thing. If a z‘erSOn knows of a law lwmg broken, and wishes to condemn the practice, he should he preparml to give spe- cific information that will be some help to the governing body. General accusations frequently direct suspi- cions along the wrong line and sometimes hamper rather than help those who are perhaps just, as soli- citous that. the law be. enforced as those who lay the charge that it is "With such a chairman. with a good committee. and with a success- ful fax-mm as minister nf agriculture to {Inch-rstand and (any nut the xecomnu-nulmuus of Hm vnmmittee we ”ugh!

General accusations frequently direct suspi- cions along the wrong line and sometimes hamper rather than help those who are perhaps just as soli- citous that the law be enforced as thtgse who lay the charge that it is no . We would imagine in a town the size of Kincardine it would be an easy matter to capture anyone who made a practice of selling tobacco to minors. If, on the other hand, it. were the enforcement of prohibition, it. might be more difficult, as the bootleggers are well organized and. strange to Say, oftentimes have as their patrons, some of the blue- WWWâ€"m“ I __________â€"-â€" bloods of a municipality, and the local effort at prohibition enforce- .. ’â€" . .. . mum»; "zA-wl" ‘ ‘ / x ~' " \ ment sometimes nil. With minors, however, it is differ- ent. The purchasing of tobacco by them. or the habit of loiteringni prohibited areas, should be easily curbed and any one knowing these laws to be broken usually knows the how and where of the thing. The trouble with the enforcement of law and order seems to be that. everybody wants the. law enforced as he sees tit. does not. care to make anything but. general charges, and scious and was tied on a chair before the lever was pulled.

Covering just as long a period. too. there have been agita- tions for the abolishment of this form of “legalized murder" as it is sometimes termed. the Canadian Parliament. at. Ottawa only a few weeks ago being asked to give an expression of its opinion on the matâ€" ter after considerable lively debate. Wrong or otherwise, capital pun-l isliinent still stands in most parts of the civiliZed world. and. from an economic standpoint. as well as a deterrent to crime. there is an overâ€" whelming majority in favor of the execution of criminals. From one standpoint. it does seem foolish to tsentence a murderer to a lifetime of case at the expense of the state". It ,is also claimed that. were the state of Michigan to rescind its present legislation of life imprisonment for nnirderers. and substitute in its stead the death penalty in some form or other. the wholesale murders of the past few years never would have occurred. While the majority of people are favorable to capital punishment, it must not be inferred that all are agreed that. hanging. the penalty im- posed in Canada. is the correct and proper thing. Some favor electro- cution. while others are inclined to the lethal gas chamber idea where the gas is turned in on the sleeping prisoner aml he "passes out". uncon- sCious that anything amiss is taking place. There are points to be regarded in all arguments for and against, but. a report of the hanging of six Italians down in the State of Louisiana ten days ago, says very little for hang- ing. In this case it seemed brutal. The dispatch said: “First to go to the scaffold were Roy Leona and Natale Deamore. Joseph Bocchio and Andrew Lamantia were the next pair. Bocchio was Sppported on the trap, while Lamantia was uncon- anyway i sugar. weighing in all 10.50) pounds. a distance of about half a mile. on a lowâ€"wheeled truck. The road was an ordinary dirt road, but. being along the seaâ€"coast. was devoid of hills. The 195 sacks were the last of a boatload of refined sugar received from the l'nited States. The following from The Mildmay Gazette somehow rings true : “A critic recently pointed out the reasâ€" on fol'_ the much advertised miscon- duct of modern youth isn‘t owing to the war or to prohibition or nonâ€" pi-ohibition or the decline of religion or any of the thousand and one causes usually cited. It is because the parents of the. rising generation have contracted the habit of joining i'ii-giiiiiz:itioiis for the welfare of the community and have been neglect- ing their homes. 'l’heir social con- science has got the better of their parental instinct." Try this on your piano and see if the music fits. Smith‘s Falls Council has passed _. ‘ lthat may prove Harry G.
