' wfiw _ l On Monday Returning Officer Murray announced :the majority as 243! Why such a difference? There :would be little reason to expect that any majority ping officers. In fact we are told one of the candi- ‘dates wrote each deputy asking that the returns be telephoned in, charges reversed, but nothing came of .it. The chief electoral officer also made the request that deputy returning officers do everything in their '.power to deliver the correct vote to the press and :to the candidates. ; .

The ‘ Chronicle believes in free speech, but we do not be- . lieve in speech which may start the fire of sedition. i; 80 long as a person keeps within due bounds, his " speech should be allowed, but once he begins to de- . part from the common decency and courtesy that is coming to the country or place in which he is speak- ing. then he should be, and generally is, shut up in short order. As we understand it the privilege of free speech does not entitle one to villify his king or ' country, nor the King or country in which he is speaking. } i ‘ ‘ A - n ul:1......4-«” Circulation 1m 12 months, 1,400 Wu Priceâ€"Pin cents per single copy; by mall in Oman $2.00 per yenr; to the United States, $250.

It may be that we are asking for too much, but we think it would be a good thing if in future elections the results could be telephoned in to some central point in each municipality and distributed from there to the other parts of the riding. For the convenience 'of the public, which is very much interested, there surely must be some way in which the different pelit- ical factions could get together election night for the receipt of correct returns. Newspapers, once the election is over, are con- cerned with only one thingâ€"the securing of the cor- render this service if someone would only tell us how to go about it. Lust election night we had two tele- phone's on the! job, but could furnish only the most meagre information, though we did our best in the nutter of telephoning all over the riding, and also to Toronto, Owen Sound and other centres.

We have not yet brought ourselves up to the point where we can be- lieve it, and until the axe actually falls we regard it mor in the nature of a scare than anything else. his newspaper had little sympathy for the late King government in the criticism hurled 'at it .for allowing Postmaster-General Veniot to vent his po- litical spleen on the postmasters of the country for no other reason than he had the authority and was determined to use it. We hope the Conservative gov- ernment does not stoop to such petty action, especial- ly in the case of the older appointees who have been rendering good service. In our humble opinion the position of postmaster is too important to be made the football of the pat- ronage system. At the same time we could find no particular fault with the present government were it to replace the officials “fired” by Mr. Veniot and re- move the ofl’icials he appointed. In doing this, Mr. Sauve would only be restoring that which was illeg- ally taken away. But in our Opinion it should end here. Two wrongs will not make a right, and follow- ing in the footsteps of Mr. Veniot will not certainly tend to elevate his successor even in the eyes of his supporters. â€"â€"r - The postmasters of Canada hold importaut posi- tiona. They should be good men, men who are careful and who can (be depended upon to make the minimum of mistakes. The sorting of the country’s mail cannot be entrusted to those who are not trustworthy, and when all this is taken into consideration it can easily be seen that once a man receives an appointment and makes good he should not be in constant fear of losing his job because his particular political party happens to be removed from office. If politics is to enter into this phase of the coun- try’s business, then it is good-bye to efficiency in the postal service. Good men will not apply for the posi- tions and as a result they will have to be filled from the ranks of political party heelers who depend on the government to look after them during their term of tive party. Let them not wreck it. Let them not Ven- iotize it. Rather, let them build it up and extend it to every branch of Government employment in which it can be used to advantage. “Here’s a Place Without Taxes” yells a newspaper heading.

CanadaAmong World Leaders In Aviation Department of the Interior Aiding in Advancement by Investigative Work on Aeronautical Instruments. Canada is one of the world-leaders in aviation. Owing to the vast areas to be covered and the characteristic climatic conditions of the north, the Canadian flyer has ganed most valuable exper- ience. This not only calls forth all the courage and stamina to be found in man, but also shows how urgent is the need, for ever-progressive scientific instruments to guide him 'where his "vâ€" senses are thwarted by fog, darkness, and foul weather. The advance in scientific research therefore, has been rapid, and, at the present time the in- strument board of an aeroplane is often adorned by more than twenty diflerent _ LL- dials, to be read by the aviator as the occasion demands. In Canada the investigation, testing and standardization of aeronauttai instruments is performed by the Physi- cl testing Laboratory of the Manh- ical Survey, Department of the Inter- ior, which also carries on the mainten- ance of instruments used in the Gov- ernment service.
