If 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. Vote 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. SHOUIU In: run up“. Both questions will appear on the ballot but only one vote is to be recorded and will be counted as an affirmative, or “Yes," for the ques- tion after which the voter places his cross. The viote will be indi- cated by a simple cross (X) and mean "yes" as to the answer to the question. Any ballot having the word "yes" or “no" written on it will be thrown out as a spoiled ballot and will not be counted. A 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.

There will he no morning service in Trinity church on Sunday next. In the evening at 7 o‘clock, the \‘en. Archdeacon Crowfoot of Hali- Vv... ---‘- fax, Nova Scotia, will be the preachâ€" er. Archdeacon Crowfoot comes as a representative of the General Synod of all the Anglican churches now meeting in London. being one of a delegation speaking in all the par- ishes of the diocese that day, on the mission work of the church at home and abroad. This is the season when the happy folks who have open fire-places are in their element. You can hear them mention casually in the presence of poor apartment house dwellers: “Yes. the mornings are. i-risp. but we light a wood fire in the diningroom“; or "the open fire in our living room gives just enough heat to he pleasant after dinner evenings." Perbple who sacrifice the comfort. the charm and the “atmosphere” of open fireplaces in order to have steam-heated apartmentsâ€"mostly without even mantlepieees, to say nothing of porches, pantries or other good home comfortsâ€"~have to pre- tend they prefer the sizzle of steam radiators to the sum» or leaping flames on the hearth but the lucky possessor of a lire-place should make the very most of it at this season.

RADIO AND SPEECH (Youth’s Companion‘ In two respects the growing popu- larity of radio is likely to affect our . In the first place it has already begun to give a new value to clear enunciation, proper shading and an effective choice of words. On the radio 3 nasal twang. the “IIALI -- Thursday, 30‘0““ 25’ AROUND THE HBARTHSTONB speaking. The microphone also catches and transmits pitilessly faults that may escape notice when . the speaker is seen. 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 poets 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 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. It may in time ihelp to bring about a universal tongue. In this country, where almost everyone understands Eng- lish. that problem has hardly yet come up. No matter how late in the night the radio enthusiasts sit up and “tune in" station after station. farther and farther west, they still hear the European language; but may we not expect before long to hear also the European broadcasts. and is it likely that we shall be content with understanding only the public speakers of Great Britain? This summer. before the reception of a new member in the French Academy, the French postal service for the first time obtained per- mission to install a radio-transmt- ting apparatus in the famous eup- ola on the banks of the Seine where the Academy meets. Thus the addresses of welcome to the new member and those of the eulogy over the former occupant of the seat could he heard all over FranCe. But the radio waves do not stop at the frontiers of any country. The Eiffel tower station can now he heard as far north as Norway and ' as far south as Morocco, and that means all over Europe. To share in ' the discourses at the French Aca- demy, the debates in the Chamber ’ of Deputies. the addresses of Benito Mussolini before the Italian Par- _ liament or the interpel’latitms in . the German heiehstag it will soon I be necessary to understand French, ' German and Italian. In good ora- ’ tory there are thrills that no other ' art can duplicate. and more offensive than__in face-t9- With surh delights in store, is it not. likely that, owners of radio sets will make serious efforts to learn foreign tongues? In schools and colleges the modern languages are. taught too much as if they were dead, like Greek and Latin, but. hearing the best, speakers of each rountry over the radio would sun- plement the ordinary class-room instruelion. and French, German. ltailan and Spanish would appear the living tongues that they were.

This is no party question. Men or all parties, in growing numbers, are having their eyes opened to the monstrous inefficiency of the pres- ent system. Even Ministers and ex- Ministers are uneasy about it, 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 to facts, and strict subordination to reason, as well as long training and special experience. “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." This of course is a scandal of the worst kind. As a political chief the Minister has to please his part» sans; as manager of a Department owned and paid for by the whole country, his plain duty is to disre- n..- ma”.

And a second scandal, largely caused by the first, is exposed by the same document. Among the official’s under the Minister’s comâ€" 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.
