Herman Remus is a man 65 years of age, has borne a good reputation in his locality, and his downfall is directly attributable to his in- ability to say “no” to a brother who, in the end, played the part of Judas Iscariot when cornered. That Herman had the sympathy of the court is shown by the minimum fines and im- prisonment imposed on each charge. The moral in this tale is simple. Don’t lis- ten to anyone who approaches you with ques«l tionable and illegal schemes. Be firm, and care- ful that the other fellow is not using you for his own convenience. Stick to your own con- victions, for you may rest assured that when the police arrive and a jail sentence looms, your erstwhile friend will lose no time in telling ev- erything he knows to lighten his own sentence. HOTELS AND ACCOMMODATION There is no reason why the modern hotel should be expected to supply free accommoda- tion for the public in these days, but at the same time there is no reason for the hotelkeeper jumping to conclusions too quickly. The editor of this paper had occasion to go out of town a few days ago and to be detained until after the supper hour. Walking into a hotel in a nearby town about 6 o’clock with the intention of washing up and having our supper,‘ we inquired of the clerk as to where we would find the washroom. We were courteously, but firmly, informed that the day was past whenl hotels furnished free accommodation of this" kind, and that while this hotel had public wash rooms and toilets they were for the exclusive use of the paying guests. We thanked the clerk for his information and walked out. We ate our supper in another hotel. -J- ---1 A- Perhaps we were what might be termed a little short in the grain for not immediately ex- plaining that we mad“) with: 811th "K! 'mud to get rid of file grime of the road, but we didn’t. What was the use? In our particular case it matters little to the hotelkeeper in question whether he gets any patronage from an or not. He will never miss “umy! service you render your customers. It might] be better that a dozen non-patrons of a hotel use the washroom privileges for nothing than that one patron be turned away through incivil- ity. The public is funny and fickle, end we know of no business where greater common sense and VII". Ov- Out in Utah in the early days the pioneers ate sego lilies, pig-weed and thistle stalks to exist. In Ontario our pioneers ate turnips and potatoes, berries and nuts, spent what few dol- lars they might have on,tea at a dollar a pound, and other luxuries which are today necessities. It may be argued there was plenty of game a and fish, but when these old pioneers dropped 1 I a l were more concerned with getting a space clear- ed for next year’s crop than in hunting and fish- ing. Time, even eighty years ago, was money. Pioneer life in either Utah or Ontario, ,Mississippi or the Peace River District, was ’ the real thing. If there wasn’t trouble one way other.

Try putting father’s worn-out pants on Willie now! At that, we are not prepared to admit the present generation is not possessed of the same “stuff” as their ancestors. The late war proved this. Becoming accustomed to luxuries is about N all that it the matter with us, and has been the l : cause of most of our complaining when there is very little to complain of. Perhaps this is '! where our pioneers surpassed us. It took a lot ' to make them dissatisfied with their lot. They 1 made the best of their opportunities and never ' quit in their endeavors to better their condi- V tions. Nowadays, we leave all this to the gov- ernment. R 1‘_____ don”! Cl llllllllll Someone has said it is a matter of four ‘ generations from shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves, and perhaps they were right. What generation do you belong to? The first starts poor, works hard, and starts the family fortune; the second generation increases it, raises his family on all the luxuries that money can buy. Accustomed to everything, the third generation spends the money accumulated by the firsc two, and when the fourth comes to bat he has to take off his go to work. This “evolution” can be been enjoying too much, and the curtailment of these enjoyments has caused us to squawk and yell depression and hard times. There is still1 a living in this world, but we must work for it. It cannot be picked up as easily as a few years age, but the industrious man can and will get along. It is the fellow who stops to squawk who will fall by the wayside.

There is only one answer to this. Do business with men you know. As a result of a rise in the tariff, molasses, hitherto purchased in Cuba, is being bought within the Empire. Which is sweet! We might as well be stuck up with ourselves as with something foreign! According to a dispatch from Alberta the West needs no harvest help this year. The state- ment is emphatic and final. This is better than in some former years when the railroads adver- tised for 40,000 farm laborers, not_fifty per cent of whom landed jobs. A Toronto man with $15,000 in the bank, trifled with the city relief fund and received $16. His fine was $500 and costs.

The Journal representative was standing on the edge of the canal at book No. 6, near Thorold, where there is a Mp of 46% feet to the bottom of the prism. Sir William walked over and courteously but definitely told him to move away from the edge of the lock. “It may seem all right to you, but you m for old peOple who become in danger.

The Board when I took office, consisted, I think, of six women and a couple of men.
