Th radica for di {nfmfl of the article is, of course to convey the impression that the independent groups in Parliament were the initiators of all this legislation, and without whom none of it would have been passed. In all the list of sixteen measures passed there is not a single one, we believe, on which any line-up of party would be called, unless it might be on the cancellation of the Australian and New Zealand treaties. Contrary to the general opinion, and in opposition to the insinuation that it was the inde- pendent groups which were responsible for this legis- lation, the credit should go to the individual members of Parliament, Liberals, Conservatives, and Inde- pendents. They were mostly measures which went through the House as private measures and as such cad! individual representative could and did vote as he saw fit. In the list of “accomplishments” we fail to note the only one which might be truly listed as an inde- pendent measure in wh i c h t h e independent group won out over the whole House. This was the law making it possible to establish divorce courts in the province of Ontario. Why this “ac- complishment” was left out of the campaign we do not know, but perhaps a majority of our readers can This bill was the product of J. S. Woodsworth, the radical member from Winnipeg. Ontario did not ask for divorce courts, and when the measure was first introduced it brought a storm of protest from all over the province. It was about the most unpopular measure before the House in a good many years, so unpopular, in fact, that the King Government would have nothing to do with it, the Conservative Opposi- tion did not want to father it, and at one time it was voted down and shelved, to the relief of nearly every member in the House. But Mr. Woodsworth again introduced it, and it was carriedâ€"and the represent- ative for South-East Grey voted for it, in spite of the Opposition of both Roman Catholic and Protestant faiths. It is one of the enigmas of the last Parliament why Ontario should be given something for which she did not ask and did not want and which was foisted on her by the Communistic member from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Rather than consider the measures quoted as “ac- complishments” we think it would ‘be nearer the mark :0 sag; they were measures granted a minority group, which showed lack of bigotry on the part of the two old parties. There are oniy about twenty in- dependents in the House, and how they could accom- plish anything without the assistance of the Govern- men: and the Opposition members will be no mystery to anyone who uses his reasoning powers. \VWDCVV- '1'va â€" Department of Public Highways before it becomes law. . - 1 t..11';1'1:1: ‘11 h+~1' riding Miss Macphail has I fmml th 1t her support of the Woodsworth divorce hill l5 anything but pOpular here.

So far as South-East Grey is concern- ed no sure prophesy of the result can be made by either of the opposing forces. But there is no denying the fact there is a serious upheaval among the Liberal electorate who formerly stipported our late member, as well as in the ranks of the United Farmers party itself. Many - famers are not now nearly so sure that an independent candidate can do as much for them as they have been led to believe during the past nine There is always someone taking the joy out of life, or if not just that, making it just a little harder for the rest of us to get along. The latest nuisance on Durham streets are a few motorists, and very few, who during this summer have persisted in running up and down Garafraxa street on Wednesday and Saturday nights, to the inconvenience of pedestrians and the danger of other motorists. The matter was up before the town council on Monday night and as a result there are to be no more “U” turns on our main thoroughfare from the top of the hill to South Street. present at the meeting of council when this bylaw was passed and for a few moments thought the re- porter had got his wires crossed. A short interview with acting Mayor W. S. Hunter and the town clerk, however, soon disillusioned him, and the bylaw stands as published in the account of the council proceed- ings in another column. A snap opinion on the bylaw would make one believe it was just another of those nonsensical en- actments, and for a time we could not' see why the whole motoring public should be penalized for the foolishness of the few. Why not punish the few who persisted in making a nuisance of themselves on busy evenings? , . - . The bylaw was passed, we were told, on the com- plaint of Chief Scott, who told the council of the con- tinued foolish practice and asked that something be done to curb something which if continued would surely result in a serious accident. There was a lot of discussion before any arrangement could be ar- rived at and the no “U” turn bylaw passed. The Chronicle was informed, however, that Chief i Scott was instructed to use judgment in enforcing the bylaw. It was not passed with the idea of getting pe0ple into trouble; rather, it was to keep them out of it. It does not mean that with little or no traffic on the street a motorist facing north has to go around the block to turn his car around to proceed south. It means that the constable now has authority to lay informaions against the few motorists who spend the greater part of Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday evenings journeying up and down between the foot of the hill and the Ford garage. The ibylaw has been passed to overcome a nuisance that has been pre- valent far too long, and to keep our streets open for the use of those pe0ple who come to town to do bus- iness rather than make a runway for a few irrespons- ibles. Enforced intelligently, the new bylaw will be a good thing; enforced to the letter, and it will be- : come as big a nuisance as the one it is intended to counteract. The bylaw has to be sanctioned by the Department of Public Highways before it becomes law. A news heading says the crooks of Chicago get election jobe.

The Baldwin government was turned out of oflioe, largely, to relieve unemployment conditions and the situ- ation has become worse under a Labor “vâ€"vwv government. One would think that if any government in the world could help the unemployed by legislation it would be a sympathetic labor administration but it has utterly failed in the effort. Governments can, of course. help the situation in a limited way by spending large sums of money on public works but neither a low, moderate, nor high tarifl system has proven adequate to relieve unemployment which is a world condition brought on by overproduction and which will require time to read- just to a normal stateâ€"Mount Forest Confederate. Badly Hurt by Horse While assisting Dr. W. H. Huck to ‘ administer veterinary treatment to a l horse belonging to Joseph Illig last Thursday morning, June 5, Harry Cul- ? liton of Garrick received injuries that nearly cost him his life. The horse threw itself upon Harry, crushing him badly and fracturing the large bone in his leg between the knee and the ankle and breaking and splintering the small bone in two places. The fractured bone protruded through the flesh and splin- ters of the bone ruptured an artery in his leg. causing it to bleedyery profuse- ly. Dr. Carpenter being called, he hur- ried the patient to the Bruce County Hospital where the fractures were re- duced, but the arteries had been so badly torn that it was with extreme difficulty that the bleeding was finally checked. The patient’s condition at this time, appearing to indicate a danger of infection and a recurrence of the hem- orrhage, it was deemed advisable that a specialist be called in on the case. As a specialist could not be immediately secured, the patient was therefore taken to Toronto General Hospital on Sunday, and we learn that his condi- tion now, while still serious, gives his friends every reason to how for his ultimate recovery. He will be laid up for three or four months at least, as a New Long Distnce Telephone Record Whatisclaimedtobeanewrecord in Western Ontario for long distance [telephone calls was made_in _I.pndon IN OTHER COMMUNITIES ME «mem mum mmmmmmfl mum um mMW mm mm mmm mmnxwm m mm.“ mm” gratuletlons from her son, Pearce of Wallaceburg, received con.
