Nationally. the (:I'mlit, system is thn only mm by which Hm world can do business. There is a Squaring up of accounts at, least once. a year, and each nation tries to play the game in a sportsman- liku manner. With individuals, however, it serms an altogether different story. The-re are people in every commun- ity who want the service, possibly intend to pay. but are such laggarcls that the whole profit 01' the account is used tip in postage and clerical \vm'k. [1' individuals could only cc'imtrart. a rleht and then pay it. when liillec‘l. it would not be SH bad. but when an account runs on for months amt sometimes years and the courts have. to be resorted to before settlement is made it is quite natural that. the cost of pro- duction must go up, to the detri- ment of trade. The credit system is all right. if usml as it should be. There are some. lines of business which can- not be run on any other basis, but there is little excuse for the man who contracts a hill and then makes no honest effort, to meet the obliga- tion when called upon. Wth a man contracts a hill he should not. feel hurt, when he gets a statement, of the account. Neither should fool hurt if. when he pays little or no attention. the account is placed in other hands for collec- tion. An indivhhml has as much right to expect to he made pay his bills as he» has to contract them and if he. is taken into court. for his laxity should blame no ono but. himself. Ho owns the. money and his debtor if fully Within his rights when he insists on payment. The residents in the West must take their politics very seriously if we are to judge from an editor- ial in last week's North Battleford (Saskfi; News. From. the tone. of the article we imagine the editor of The Optimist must ha've said some- thing that did not agree with Brer. McIntosh, and he let loose as follows: "A certain non-descript nonentity in last week’s issue of our contemâ€" porary explodes over the immigra- tion question. Driven to hayâ€"ho? and his contemptuous croakersâ€"‘ he now seeks to carry on his blasted political fallacies behind an an- onjv'mity ever typical of the worst kind of gutter-snipe journalism. The article given vent to is that, of a Ct)VV'ZlI‘d-â€"~'1 sneak thief if you will -â€"who is ashamed to stand by his niggardly convictions in Open day- light. The production is that of a coward. a nonentity and a falsifier. When an individual so to speak has to blow out his own personal identity in discussing a question of public policy he 15 about as small and ignominious a specimen as one can imagine. This being the case we. consder it a Sheer waste of time to pay any further attention to his defunct vapormgs.” Some thirty of forty years. ago this was the method .of drivmg home your point editorially mthe East, but it is a long. time Since v w _- v we remember seeing this styie, and years ago it was abandone section of Dan d in this ada.

It certainly makes good reading, but we have an idea that it would not go far in Old Ontario. THE WINTER FAIR We spent last Saturday night at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto and were delighted with the display of products exhibited and the ring performance put on for the benefit of the patrons. There was one thing, however, that did not appeal to us and that was the tendency of the Toronto people to rent the seating capaciy of the. Coliseum, presumably for the season. with the result that hundreds are com- pelled to stand throughout the en- tire performance. Had the seats been occupied. it would nothave looked so bad, but last Saturday night. with what we were told was a record crowd in attendance, there were hundreds of vacant seats in the building that were never oc- cupied. ___. . n I i l- _---1_A \4 uytuuo The Winter Fair has to make money to exist, it is true, but there were hundreds of people in attendâ€" ance who would have willingly paid the price of the available seats but were prevented from doâ€" ing this because they had been pre- viously rented to residents of To- ronto . who failed to turn up. Out of town people cannot often tell just what day or night they may be able to attend the Winter Fair and so cannot make their reserva- tions in advance and it certainly does not create a satisfied feeling to have to stand through the whole performance with empty seats in evidence all around you. _ The Winter Fair, though, was all that could be desired. The exhib~ its of manufacturers, the floral dis- play, the livestock. farm products and many Others was the best in the history of the Fair and. like the Canadian National Exhibition, it is without a peer on the North Amer- ican continent. THE LOCAL HOSPITAL As time goes on, the most of us. on looking back over the years that are passed ofttimes wonder how we ever panaged to get along without a hospital. Since the local hospital was placed in operation some years ago, it has developed wonderfully, and While at times there seems a dearth of patients, generally speaking it is usually full. At the present time it is full to overflowing. While every effort is made at all times to accommodate those who need its ministrations, there are times like the present when patients are placed in every conceivable vacant space and the question often arises as to the ad- visability of building an addition to take care of these surplusses of patients which occur from time to time. There are no doubt some in our midst who are not particularly fav- orable to the hospital, but it is a fact that cannot be denied, that our local hospital has been doing a wonderful work since its inception. It would be nice, indeed. if we could do without such an institution altogether, but supposing this were at all possible, we doubt very much if there are many in town or country who would favor doing away with our hospital on economic grounds. Hospitals. even the larg- est of them. are not to be regarded from the standpoint of dividends, or even the paying of their own way; rather they are regarded from the standpoint of their ser- vice to the community. There are some things which cannot be thought of in dollars and cents, and a hospital is one of them. A BIG: ISSUE The last issue of the North Battle- ford (Sask.) News just to hand is one of the largest issues of a weekly newspaper we have seen in a long time. and certainly the larg- est edition to come out of Western Canada that we have noticed. A glance through its pages shows that. the whole countr}r around North Battleford has been well re- presented both in news and adver- tising. It, is the ninth annual edi- tion of what. is known as a “Devel- opment. Speoal” and is a credit not only to the publisher, C. R. Mc- Intosh formerly of Do1noch but to the city of N01th Battleford and the smronnding territory. The edition contains 48 pages and sets forth the advantages of that part of Saskat- chewan. COLLEGE ROWDIES There should be no “extenuating chenmstances’ considered in the 1m o~t1orat1on that is about to be held into the hazing on Tuesday, of a pupil at the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph. From the dispatches in the daily pap‘ser yes- terday. it is about the worst Sol‘ its kind that has 8V er be perpetiat- ed and those respon ble for it should find no mercy when they appea1 before the bar of justice to answer for their foolishness. According to a dispatch from Guelph, a young English first-year student. Edward Beddoes, had been found guilty by the student body of “squealing” about some minor affair and for this was first roped and drawn through a pig wallow. then forced into a pig crate and dragged up the main street of Guelph in a light wagon and placed in front of the theatre and subject- ed to further indignities.“ He was afterwards released and had over. ripe tomatoes and refugegmbhed In his face, finally escapms mm 09° of the hotels.

He was (and had over- refuse rubbed in icaping into one little/ creeptjon taken to a certain kind of college “hazing”; this seems to be quite the rule in the most of colleges, but there is a limit. The afi‘air at Guelph oversteps. all bounds of decency. It is a disgrace to Guelph, to the O. A. C. and to Canada, and the only restitution that can now be made is to subject the perpetrators to a penalty that they will not soon forget. Rowdyism of this kind should be severely frowned upon and no effort should be spared by the college authorities or the Pro- vincial Police in bringing the prinâ€" cipals to task and imposing an ade- qfiate sentence.

Morton of town had a call this week from an old neighbor in the person of Mr. Thomas Jones of Toronto. It is quite a number of years since these three old friends last met. Mr. Jones formerly occupied the farm north of town now owned by Mr. Murray Ritchie. Mr. Jones was accompan- ied by Mrs. Jones, formerly Mrs. John Collier of Glenelg, and the company spent. a very pleasant couple of hours tOgether in a dis- cussion of the events that have occurred in the days that have pass- ed_since they last met. .- An. .4 Mr. G. R. Pearce of Stratford, sonâ€"in-law of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Limin of this town. underwent an- other serious operation in a Toronto hospital last week for the removal of a tumor on his brain. Mr. Pearce submitted to a similar oper- ation a year ago and for a time appeared to -be recovering. but was taken ill again a few weeks ago. We trust that this last operation will be successful and that he will regain his usual_he~alth. - Miss Hazel Torry of Bentinck Spent the meek-end in toxxn, the guest of her fiiencl. Miss Eva Adlam.

He thought the matter might well be left over until the January session, when it should be taken up in earnest. Reeve Neil Calder. of Egremont. intimated that it VV as easier some- times to get someone in the House of Refuge than it VV as to get them out,. and he cited a case of VV here a com- hparatix elV Voung VVoman had been committed to the institution when she and her husband could not make things VV ork but that later the man \\ as in better circumstances and wanted to get his \V ife back, but that Supt.

He thought such things as this should be looked into. Some further discussion was in- dulged in, but in the end the report of the committee was passed with- out change, but the matter. cropped out again a little later in the ses- sion when Reeve Gardiner brought in a resolution providing that any people committed to Markdale who could not be taken in be sent to some other county where there was room, and with the approval of the Warden, and at the expense of the county. He wasof the opinion that more room could be made at the in- stitution on the top floor, and fire escapes and an elevator installed. After some further discussion some of which was quite pointed in its character. the matter was brought to a close bv Reeve 1133101' “ho introduced a resolution to the effect that Supt. Smith be request- ed to accept all patients properly admitted and if there is no room to make ar1angements to take them elscxxheie 'at the. expense of the county, and this “as cariied “im- out Opposition. The Council just about concluded the business of the November ses- sion on Friday afternoon, although there were a few odds and ends which remained to be cleared before the final adjournment. on Saturday (Continued from page 1) No More Pavements get the Council to enter into agree- ments with the municipalities of Flesherton and Neustadt for the construction of a 20 foot strip of concrete pavement through these places under the provisions of the Highways Act, but they would have none of it, taking the same stand as they did with regard to the same request from Thornbury. It. was the votes of the rural mem- bers of the council that defeated these projects. Two resolutions were brought in providing for the taking over by the count)r as county roads certain small sections of road, one down in Proton, and the other in Sullivan; but these were also turned down, the opinion prevailing that before iany new sections be taken over ithey had better put into good shape lthat which they now‘ had. ‘â€" A A-nnnfi‘ blldb Wllluu Luv/J vvvvv ‘ ..... A resolution was paSsed request-I ing the Ontario government to ap-‘ point several new game wardens to assist in the enforcement of the law regarding fishing and hunting in this county. Reeve Thurston, ot Flesherton, was of the opinion that this would not do very much good, as the ones now appointed do not make any attempts to enforce the law, but he voted for the resolution just the same, and it was carried. These appointments will entail no expense whatever to the county. Reeve Himmell, of Neustadt, want- ed the county to give that munici- pality an extra $200 in addition to the regular 75 per cent for county roads, which run through their village, as the cost of the upkeep of that road was heavy, the oiling alone costing $500. but his resolu- tion was defeated. “- The final report of the Finance committee was presented by Reeve Colgan of Markdale, and the only clause of importance was that re- fusing the application for the Grey Regiment for a further grant of $200 to assist in paying the deficit from the summer camp, and the Clerk was instructed to notify Col. Rutherford that a resolution was passed at the January session stat- ing that no application for grants would be received after the sec- ond day of the June session. The Printing committee recom- mended the pavment of a number of accounts. and the report of the House of Refuge committee was also adonted. It Will Pay You to Advertise in The Chronicte.
