The viote will be indi- cated by a simple cross (X) and mean "yes" as to the answer to the ballot having the question. Any Dallm uuuug ...., "yes" or “no” written on i will be thrown out as a spoiled ballot having two crosses on it, one after each question will also be thrown out as spoiled. Don’t forget to mark one cross after the question you favor. If you are in favor of the continuance of the Ontario Temperance Act, put your cross after the first question on the ballot. [f you are in favor of the sale as a beverage of beer and spirituous liquor in sealed packages under Government control put your cross after the. second question. We hope we. have made this plain enough to our readers. V'oto only once and let the vote be indicated by a single cross after the question you favor. Anything more than this will constitute a spoiled ballot. __â€" Usual Evening Service i Archdeacon Crowfoot There will be no morning service! in Trinity church on Sunday next.

The time may come when, through radio, poetry will be restored to its ancient posi- tion of public esteem and favor. Before the printing press was in- vented bards and troubadours re- cited their compositions orally. Few people saw their handwritten copies, if they made any. But now epoets look first of all for a publsh- er, even though in print their verse loses the important element of euphonious sound. It is seen but L _-J:,‘ nnn.n‘? cuyllvlllv uv .. v not heard. Through radio, poetry may regain equality with music as a form of entertainment. In the second place radio is sure to promote a better knowledge of foreign languages.

Men of all parties, in growing numbers. are having their eyes opened to thel monstrous inefficiency of the pres- ent system. Even Ministers and ex- Ministers are uneasy aboutflt. for the system puts them in a false position. Naturally, the men best qualified to run a complicated business, which requires absolute impartiality, careful regard tofacts, and strict subordination to reason. as well as long training and special experience. A 4‘ O 7_.’ ‘h‘ “In the very nature of things”, the Commission’s Chairman frankly de- clared, “a Minister is charged with keeping his Department largely in touch with the political fortunes of his party." 1‘ AL- This of course is a scandal of the worst kind.

Among the official’s under the Minister’s com- mand, no matter how capable they may be, “initiative is not encourag- ed, constructive ability is not given full play, and aggressive methods are at variance with the traditions of the Departments.” We want no dictatorship in Can- ada. Parliament must remain supreme in the last resort, whatever [powers we delegate to those chosen to manage our business departments on account of their special capacity.
