There are a lot of other things that have been irown into the discard in the past twenty years. here was a time when it was a matter of pride with lot of us to show the world just how “independent” e were. We were simply sitting on top of the world rid didn't care a. tinker’s dam for anyone. If they idn’t like out gate they didn’t have to swing on it. ut how changed are conditions now and then!

It is not )nly the Conservatives who criticize Mr. King for his utterance, but many of his Liberal supporters as well. There are a lot of people in Canada today, and amongst them many Liberals, who would like to know iust what Mr. King would give could he but recall :he foolish words he uttered in a moment of weak Now Mr. King accuses Mr. Ferguson of misrep- resentation and says that his “five-cent” speech refer- red only to the “then existing conditions”. Canada’s prime minister now says that the Dominion govern. ment is anxious to promote good relations with all the provinces. Premier King takes exception to a speech by Hon. G. H. Ferguson, Premier of Ontario, at London, in which the latter is reported to have said that the On- tario government proposed to throw its weight into the election campaign against the Federal forces this summer. Mr. Ferguson’s remarks were occasion- ed by a recent speech in the House at Ottawa in which Premier King said in reference to assistance for the unemployed: “So far as giving money from this federal treasury to provincial governments is concerned, in relation to this question of unemploy. ment as it exists today, I might be prepared to go a certain length possibly in meeting one or two of the western provinces that have Progressive premiers at the head of their governments, but I would not give a five-cent piece to any Tory government.” Mr. King’s dclaration will have to be taken as it was made. As the prime minister, any of his state- nents, by virtue of his office, will have to be taken seriously. Being a prime minister is a serious .busi- mess. In his declaration that he would not contribute i five-cent piece toward unemployment in any prov- nce that had a Tory government at its head, he has *ead five of the provinces of Canada out of their con- ‘ederation rights which guarantee to all Canadians aquality before the Crown in rights as well as in °esponsibilities. That is, if he spoke seriously. If iis remarks are not to be taken seriously, then there 5 nothing left but to consider that his statement vas childish and most unbecoming. PAGE 4. “The man ww blows his own horn usually res- tonds to his own encore.” We noticed the above “wise-crack” in one of our xchanges, and while this old axiom may have held food two or three decades ago, -like everything else n these modern times, it has passed out of style. In hose days of propaganda and “blah” it might more ruthfully be said that the man who fails to blow his wn horn is soon forgotten and that if one wishes to at anywhere in this year of grace 1930 he must be p and doing and' forget a lot of this inferiority com- lerz stufl. Of course it depends largely upon what kind of a orn a man has to blow in the first place, and what me he tries to play in the second place. You can’t (pect to get anything out of a hog but a grunt, so it 'ould be useless for some of us to attempt to toot it own horn. Perhaps the instrument we are holding a tin whistle.

But that does not mean we are to have a five-cent election campaign. Not a single journalist, male or female, is in the line-up for divorce at Ottawa._ No doubt it is be- cause all newspapermen and women are such loving, benign and gracious creatures, and not, as some would insinuate, because they haven’t the $1,500 nec- essary to start proceedings.

It is to be hoped the Council will take action soon and mark the crossings for pedestrians. With a pavement, every place is a crossing and it is hardly fair to the motorist or the foot walker not to have certain areas designated as belonging to those on foot who desire to cross the street‘. As the matwr now stands, there is no Ospecified place where a ped- estrian is safe. With no guide to go by the motorist cannot tell, and for the same reason no two persons are likely to cross over in the same area. With our campaigns for safety each year, we think it is quite in order to provide proper crossings and this can only be done by properly marking them. Then both motorist and pedestrian will know what to do. The practice of marking out areas at intersections and between streets is a good one. Paint costs little, is easily applied, and may save someone from being in- jured. Why not mark our crossings? A Canadian expert says that one out of every twenty-five people in Canada will enter mental hospitals. Which will bear out what we have thought all aloxg: We are all crazy, but some of us register it a little more than others. Not being in a position to verify the statistical assertions of the Kincardine newspaper, we have nothing left but to accept its statement that it is “independent” and let it go at that. We are pleased, though, that the editorial was not twice as long, else the Review-Reporter editor might have proven that he was one hundred per cent Ferguson and Tory, and that would have been terrible. After reading what the Kincardine paper had to say we have come to the conclusion that “it does protest too much,” and that the Chronicle’s insinuation must have got under its political skin some four or five weeks ago. Anyway, the accusation made the. Review-Reporter dig up its book of statistics to prove that it is one of those purer-than-snow lambs when the best we could make out of it was a goat or a sheep in wolf’s clothing. An editorial in the Kincardine Review-Reporter takes the Chronicle to task for insinuating that this former Liberal organ which now claims to be inde- pendent, was still sympathetic with the Liberal pro- gramme and lost no opportunity of slamming the Tories when an opportunity presented itself; The Review-Reponer used up quite a large amount of space in proving its independent stand and quoted statistics to prove that while it had kicked Premier Ferguson under the coat-tails on occasions, it had also patted him on the back. And the “pats” had it oveig the “kicks”. In other words, the Review-Reporter has loved Mr. Ferguson and his government more often than it has tried to hand him the'mitten. ping out and going after that which belongs to him or which he can get,‘ and allowing himself to develop into a conceited ass or unmitigated nuisance.

After an illness of six weeks at her home near Essex Centre, Mrs. Annie McCormick died early Wednesday morning from what proved to be an attack of typhoid fever, though this was not definitely known until three weeks ago. When her illness became known here her brother, Mr. W. G. Lawrence, and sister, Mrs. Thomas Milligan, made periodical trips to her bedside and were quite hopeful for her recovery, so hope- Iul that the news of her death Wednes- day morning was a terrible shock.
