The power fight in Bruce has evidently caused more ructions between the citizens than the warring power interests. We have been told that consider- able feeling has been aroused since the battle start- ed, and can easily believe what we have been told ‘v w- - avvvuuo vvbvvuVL, as vvith .Southainpton lost to the power magnates, the vote in Walkerton being doubtful, and the great cost of constructing the lines, the serving of the rural section only, may not have looked like a very profitable investment. ‘ 9â€"“- w... a“- w ‘0 The recent floods, causing the destruction of the Foshay dam, no doubt had a great deal to do with the private company and the hydro getting together, According to a report from Toronto, the power dispute in Bruce County between the Foshay in- terests of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the Hydro- Electric Power Commission, is about to be settled amicably. It is said that the Fosnay people have An amicable settlement of this question should be made if at all possible, and the majority of Ontar- io’s residents will agree with us when we say that the matter never should have gone -as far as it has. political ambitions and it is quite possible that he may not be available. Anyway, our source of in- formation is sufficiently authentic to state that he will have the Opportunity of declining or accepting and in either event it will be a case of the office seeking the man. The holding of a convention, however, is the only thing that will clear the air and divulge the identity of the Conservative standard-bearer. POWER DISPUTE NEARING SETTLEMENT?

In many ridings the candidates have already been nominated, but so far nothing has been done in South Grey, though the next few weeks will in all probability see a conven- tion called and a candidate chosen. Though not in close touch with the political pulse in this riding, THE CHRONICLE knows there is no dearth of candidates.

The evidence showed that a confession had been scared out of him by a threat that “You tell the truth or we will put a rope around your neck and stretch you longer than you are”. Natural- ly, the accused denied the crime up to this point, but this denial did not suit his persecutors and he “confessed” to save himself from further torture. From Maple Creek, Sask., comes a tale which if true is no credit to those responsible. A man, alleged to have killed a companion and subjected to the “third degree” by the police, has been granted a Society is expected to be lenient with youthful delinquents, and usually is; why should not parents be expected to see to it that their children in turn are fair with society? One thing is certain, society is entitled to a reasonable protection from vandalism. and if the parents will take no action, there seems nothing left but that society should protect itself. We do not believe the youth of today are any worse than those of any other day, if as bad; the difference is that in the good old days father’s hand was heavy, and if a boy deve10ped too much in- corrigibility a few trips to the woodshed soon knocked that out of him. It is all very well to argue that a jail sentence might be the undoing of a purely mischievous youth and perhaps embitter him against society, but that is no reason why other people and other people’s property should suffer on account of the inability of. parents to govern their offspring. need register little surprise when ‘they learn that they have finally run into trouble. are to blame more than any other persons. The start to these things is made in early life and if a boy or a girl of tender years is allowed to run the streets until all hours of the night the parents It is a subject that we would not care to make a positive ruling on. We must admit, though, that there is altogether too much of this kind of delin- quency, and too much leniency will not tend to de- crease the depredations. Getting back to the foun- tain head, it looks to us that it is the parents who The CANADIAN-ECHO pointedly remarks that “the matter becomes so grave as no longer to permit excuse on the ground of child-like innocence,” but expresses no opinion as to what should be done in a case of this kind. Who can? There are a good many in every locality who will defend the youths with the old saying “boys will be boys,” admitting, perhaps, that their conduct is not what it should be, but that their tender years should be considered and that they be let off with a warning of some kind. Others maintain that boys who wantonly destroy pr0perty have sacrificed any leniency by the courts and should be punished. The Wiarton CANADIAN ECHO tells of vandalism by boys in that town, who recently invaded the Anglican church, ransacked the cupboards and closets, and ended up by spoiling the linen, the hymnbooks and other church equipment. Windows in the Roman Catholic church have also been broken, the shutters torn off and other damage done. While THE CHRONICLE has always advocated Hydro, and with an experience of fifteen years thinks it has justified itself as no private business would, we cannot see that we have any right to be- rate another municipality for sticking to private power. That is their business. The same holds good in our case;_ we have tried Hydro and found it satisfactory, speak of it as we find it, and private ownership advocates have no right to berate either THE CHRONICLE or Durham for sticking to it and ad- vocating it at every Opportunity. they attempt to intimidate Southampton.
