The proposals of the royal commis- sion on the Canadian railway situation “appear to ofler a well-balanced solu- tion to the immediate problem," de- clares the Morning Post, commenting editorially on the report just issued. The Post contends, however, the root of Canada’s railway troubles is that she has too many railways for the present pOpulation, and it believes it is difii- cult to see where new business is going to come from unless the immigration laws of the country are extended. Interesting Comment On Canada’s E- conomic Situation From the Railroad Railways Need The Morning Post adds that Canada’s railway labor “being largely members of-the United States trade unions, the Dominion is saddled with wage scales adapted to the conditions of the more p0pu1ated country and therefore fre- quently ill-suited to her own situation.” This, declares the Post, is another ex- ample of economic dependence on an outside force, and could be most easily countered by increasing population and thereby increasing economic strength. "courageous decision to remove the issue between the two raQways as far as possible from the political arena by placing it in the hands of an authori- tative and impartial commission.” Re- ferring to the commission’s recommen- dation to maintain separate systems, the Times says the day might well come when the Dominion’s expansion has been so enormous that two systems will be economically justified. From the summary of the report, continues the Times, it is clear the commission attacked the problem along sound lines. On the other hand» the Financial News says the findings of the D111! Commission are regarded in Britain as conferring no very considerable ben- efits to the Canadian Pacific Railways "but seem rather to bolster the Cana- dian National than a constructive pol- icy for the railway system as a whole." The Financial News criticizes the em- ployment of the chief commissioner of the railway commission as arbitrator between the companies. ‘He is sup- posed to have a semi- -judicial position but is nevertheless a political appointee and is asked to arbit1ate between pri- vate and government concerns It is a position full of latent difficulties The introduction of the railway commis- sion whenever companies are unable to agree is likely to make it impossible 'to decide matters with the necessary promptitude.” The ladies of the Presbyterian church held their annual “At Home" on Wed- nesday afternoon of this week at the home of Mrs. John Alexander, College street. Autumn flowers decorated the rooms. In the reception hall a bank of flowers of brilliant colors greeted the guests. The tea table was very attractâ€" ive, the flowers for this being dahlias and asters in a rose shade, with candles to correspond. Mrs. C. H. Moffat, Miss K.

There was a good attendance and a most enjoyable social afternoon was spent. The chemist had left his counter in charge of a youthful assistant.

OBSERVED FORTIE'I'H WEDDING ANNIVERSARY The bride and groom were taken completely by surprise when, on return- ing from an anniversary luncheon at the home of the best man, Mr. Willlam Carson. they were greeted by a crowd of friends who joined hands and circled around them singing, “For they are jolly good fellows.” The wedding march was played by Mrs. Clarence Buck of Georgetown, 3 niece of the groom, while the grandchildren scattered flowers before them. A bountiful wedding supper was served, followed by a short programme, during which Dr. Gordon Agnew and Mrs. (Rev.) H. Caldwell, sang several solos and gave a number of mono- logues. Rev. H. Caldwell, brother of the groom, and officiating clergyman, spoke very interestingly of me wedding of 40 years ago. Mrs. Moore, Mr. McGowan, and Dr. Wolfe of Durham, guests at the orig- inal ceremony, each spoke a few words of hearty congratulation. Mrs. Norman Kerr, an behalf of her parents, thanked the friends for their good wishes. The guests from a distance were: Rev. and Mrs. H.

DURHAM WINS AN EXHIBITION GAME Last Thursday evening the South- ampton Fishermen cam'e south for an exhibition lacrosse game with the local intermediates and learned that youth and speed and willingness are no match for the same combination plus experience. The Fishermen have the youth, in fact they‘re almost all play- ing their first season lacrosse, they have speed to burn, and no one can question their willingness, they tried right to the end, but they lack the experience, and as a result the local squad played rings around them and scored when and how they pleased. The first two periods were productive of some good lacrosse. flashes of good form showing here and there. but from half time on, the game degenerated into a good-natured practice work-out, Southampton scoring occasionally when the local defense took time out for As mentioned before the Fishermen are almost all in their first season of lacrosse, but with the speed they have and competent management ‘they are due to deveIOp into a team that will take some beating. .

An added attraction and one that did much to make the occasion the success it was. was the precenoe of the Omheus Male Choir of Kit- chener, under the direction of Ir. R. A. McGillivray, a well-known former resident of this locality. The choir {provided special music for services .gave upwards of an hour‘s recital at the close of the evening service, and on Sunday afternoon wasted in the ser- vice at Burns Presbyterian Church. Rocky Saugeen. In the morning Rev. Mr. Scott spoke from the words of Jesus. “Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in Goa. believe also in me.“ The male choir gave four choruses during the sewioe and delighted the large congregation twith the beauty and harmony of their l offerings. In the evening the service was held in the Knox United Church. The con- gregation of this church withdrew their evening service in favor of the anniv- ersary and kindly placed their buildinc at the disposal of the Queen street of- ficials, as it was felt the Queen street ehurch wmild' not accommodate all those wishing to hear the Orpheus Choir. Long before the hour of com- mencing the seating capacity was ex- 'hausted and by the time the service commenced the emergency seating was also taken up and some were forced to stand throughout the service. Mr. Scott's evening subject was “me Things that count in life." basing his remarks on a text in the prophecy of Isaiah. 38:16â€"“0 Lord by these things men live. and in all these things is the life of of my spirit; so wilt thou recover me and make me to live." Too often false values were put upon the things that matter most in life and often some trying experience of sor- row, sickness, etc. was necessary to bring us to a realization of the true values of life. Anything that brings us to grips with life is worthwhile. It often brings us to realize that we have been putting emphasis on the wrong things. Wealth, power. postman, these often seem to be the chief um and object in life but they can :11 be stripped from us by the forces of circumstance. but the things of the spirit cannot be taken from us and these matter most.

The Male Choir again delighted the large audience with their muslctl of- ferings. During the service they ren- dered four choruses, “The Lost Chord."
