When the authorities of the Free State at Dublin executed Erskine Uhihlers as a rebel captured in arms they took De Valera at his word. The lleader of the Irish extremists has said again and again that there can be no quarter; that the republic for which he fights must triumph or he and his followers must accept ex- termination. Childers, who was De Vulera's chief adviser, was an En- glishman who had Spent many years of his life in the British army. His conversions to the principles of Sinn Fein was recent; and he was never personally popular or thoroughfiy trusted in Ireland. But his abilities were always recognized and he re- ceives credit for armising and sus- taming,r in De Valera much of the irreconcilable spirit he has shown.

According: to the decision of the Snpreme Sonrt in the Pmnisylvania coal-tax °ase there is nothing to prevent. any State from levying a tax on the products of its liehls, factories or mines hel’ore those products enter interstate commerce. The Pennsyl- vania tax is on anthracite coal only of which that State has almost a monopoly. Minnesota has recently put a tax on iron mined within its horders, and a case that. involves the tax is even now before the Supreme tlonrt. The. decision is mdst dis- turbing. for that plan of taxatim if generally adopted, is almtost 8 re considerably to increase the general cost of living and to cause continual irritation between States. ’l‘wn ymu's mm wlwu Hug navy Dal-- loonists. starting {rum a plavv near Xvw \‘ul'k. vzmw duwu in a few hours at, M’uusv Favtmnv on Jamos' Bay. many pvnpln turnml tn tlwir gm)- gl'aphivs to «lismwl' huw nvzu' Um Those who have fixed in their minds Mark Twain’s picture of the man chopping wood on a raft. in the middle of the Mississippi, the Sound of whose stroke reached Tom Saw- yer on shore just. as the man held the axe poised again for another stroke, never quite conuirehend the speed of radio waves.

December 18, 19 and 20, six Grey County boys attended a course in judging live hogs and tin- ished carcasses at the Harris, Swift and Davies Abattoirs. The boys were taken through the abattoirs and saw the work of slaughtering, dressing, etc. On two occasions they were the guests of the abattoir at lunch. Among the winners was Mr. Otto Fey. Rocklyn, who won 8th place in jlldfl'ing carcasses. His prize was $4.00. Mr. Wilfrid Goldsmith, Chats- worth, was given 12th place in judg- ing live lu‘igs. He lost the money prize by only one point. . The course was intended to Show the difference in slaughtered and be- fore slaughter. There was also “dem- onstrated the work of grading and the necessity for it.

Mr. Proulx had been Prescott‘s member in the Commons. W1. J. Russell, also elected as a' Progressive for Muskoka announced on December 2 that. he would cross the floor to the Liberal benches when the next session Opened. This brought the Liberal strength in the House to equal that of the combined Om‘msition without the Speaker.
