Whosower is afraid of submitting any question, civil or religious to the test of free discussion, is more in love with his own opinion than with the Truthâ€"WA TSON. It looks now that “SouthuEast Grey 'is to have a two-candidate fight this time and that Mr._ D. T. Wright, the Liberal nominee, does not intend to re- main in the field. We have been unable to get in touch with Mr. Wright this Wednesday as he is away in Toronto marking examination papers, but a telephone call to Dundalk gave us to understand he would not be a candidate. Mr. Wright’s decision will not occasion much sur- prise in the riding. This thing has happened before. But there is no censure coming to Mr. Wright for his decision to remain out of the field. The Liberals have no organization, and the nominating convention was held altogether too late to allow him to get his poli- tical machine oiled up and efficient before polling day. There must be an organization behind him, and this is one of the things he hasn’t got. Locally, as we said last week, the opinion is that the Liberals have been out o£ politics in South-East Grey long enough. They must make up their minds soon to either get back into the field or decide that the genus Liberal must become extinct in this riding. Mr. Wright isone of the old school who is desirous of keeping Liberalism before the electors in this part of the province and this it was that placed him be- fore the convention. He expected opposition from the forces behind Miss Macphail and L. G. Campbell, and these he felt he could combat. But he was not prepared for the opposition that was to develop inside his own party. Liberal headquarters is not favorable to running a candidate in Southâ€"East Grey. It has not been favorable since 1921, and the convention in Durham a week ago last Saturday was told the same thing was contemplated for 1930. Despite all this the convention favored placing a candidate in the field. Then came the big crash. In an interview with one of the prominent Cabinet offi- cers in the King Government, a local Liberal was not only told that “headquarters” did not desire a candi- date in South-East Grey, but further, if Mr. Wright cared (or dared) to run, he could not expect to re- ceive the patronage of the riding if elected, and would most certainly not receive any assistance from the central organization committee. The Durham Chronicle This is a rather peculiar state of affairs! A poli- tical party appealing to the electors and refusing to recognize a candidate of their own political faith who has the courage to step out and try and regain a rid- ing that has ’been lost to them since 1911. It is not the duty of this newspaper to form con- clusions. Anything we might say would make no dif- ference and could not change the situation. But it is up to a good many of the Liberals in this riding to think hard if they hope for a solution of this para- dox. Frankly we cannot understand why the riding should be dictated to by Toronto or Ottawa as to whether or not they should run a candidate. At the inter-provincial conference of the Canadian Good Roads Association held at Queen’s Park, Tor- onto, on Wednesday of last week, it was advocated that uniform Dominion-wide traffic laws covering speed. road rules and all problems of highway motor travel be adopted, and with this in view the matter is to be gone into during the coming year and the draft presented to the departments of highways of every province in the Dominion. The report is to be drafted by competent engineers and will be a full one. The variations in the rules governing motor traf- fic in the different provinces of Canada and States in the United States has long been recognized as a hard- ship on those who do considerable motoring.

The declaration last week of Squadron Leader Charles Kingsford-Smith, the Australian flier, that his history-making westward flight over the Atlantic since their welcome to Lindbergh when he returned from making his solo flight to Paris. Britons are considered pokey by many, but at the present they hold most of the important records on land and sea and in the air. The late Sir Henry Se- grave holds the record of having driven a motor car faster than any other human when he travelled over Daytona Beach, Florida, at an average speed of 231 miles an hour, and lost his life when lowering the motor boat record a couple of weeks ago when he drove his racer over the water at the official speed of 118 miles an hour. The. Schnieder Cup trophy was also won by a Briton, and were we to delve into the records of valorous deeds of past and present, old Slow-poke Johnny Bull and his sons and daughters would be found “sitting on top of the world.” ocean “was just a job of work we had set ourselves and we did it" is but one more evidence that perhaps Britons are too modest in cases such as this. The same man with the same plane two years ago made the flight across the Pacific. Kingsford-Smith’s at- tempt to pass lightly over .his latest conquest of the air was made at a celebration in New York when he and his companions were tendered one of the most rousing receptions given by the United States public The colored folk of Amherstburg have ceased their labors, banded themselves into an organization called the Church of God, and are now awaiting with confidence the appearance of the. angel Gabriel and the last trumpet, which they think may happen at almost any time. This in itself would not be quite so bad were it not that these people have become quite noisy in their religious fervor and citizens have made complaint to the town council with the request that the rumpus be stopped. It is rather an imprOper thing to interfere with a man’s religion, but it has always been a mystery to us that so many people, black or white, who usually have not been particularly identified with any church, suddenly become possessed of the spirit, spend their time in wailing and gnashing of teeth, shouting hal- lelujahs, and holding forth until all hours of the night. This conduct then comes under the head of a public nuisance. No community should be disturbed in its slumbers by a band of religious or other fana- tics who suddenly become crazed and carry on in a most unbecoming and nonsensical manner. But these things have been with us since time be- gan, and the end is not yet. We cannot understand it, but perhaps it is not intended tha we should. Person- ally we think there is still lots of religion in the old- time churches if one but tries to get it out, and the formation of new sects and cults, while it may satisfy a few, is but working against the idea of churches in general. Churches today are suffering from a lack in attendance, in contributions, and the starting of new ones will not tend to make either of them stronger. Advertising paysâ€"if directed along the proper channels and backed up by performance. Misdirect- ed it often has the very Opposite effect. A noted in- stance of this is in the Shriners’ convention held last month in Toronto. The advance “ballyhoo” for this big event almost made it a failure from an attend- ance standpoint, the estimated crowds being so large that many thousands who would» have attended re- mained at home for the reason that they believed the accommodations at the Queen City of Ontario would be taxed to the utmost and they would be forced to walk the streets or sleep in the parks. Early this spring the advance notices handed to the press contained the startling informatiopgfihat there would be an attendance of a least six W thousand. file registration showed that the W- ance was only slightly over a third of the estimate. Many ,Shriners themselves remained away, as well as many thousands of Masons who have not attained that eminence but who would have attended the spec- tacle had they .been sure it could be done without un- due inconvenience. It is not nice to be caught at night in the city with no bed to go to, especially after a day at the midway or some other celebration. Briefly, it might be stated that if the Shriners’ convention was not so successful as it might have been, the whole blame my be placed on too much od- vertisinx incorrectly directed.

Mrs. Carl Harrison, a. respected res. ident of Egremont township, passed away on Friday of last weei: following an illness which commenced some ten days previously when she gave birth to a stillborn child. In a serious condi- tion from the first, Mrs. Harrison showed remarkable recuperative powers and for a time hope was held that she would recover, but later developments made this impossible and she passed away last Friday. The late Mrs. Harrison was before her marriage Miss Laura McKelvey, daughter of Mr. David McKelvey and the late Mrs. McKelvey of Egremont. She was 38 years of age and had lived her whole life in her native township. Eighteen years ago she was married to Mr. Harrison, who, with five children, Clifford, Orval, Dorothy, Earl and Car- lyle, mourn the loss of wife and mother.
