In election matters we have no control over the right. of another as to how he uses his franchise; nor has he any right to dictate to us how we should use ours. We may all be sincere in the opinions we hold, but one may be acting on impulse and the other on the result of careful consideration and perhaps much thought before arriving at a conclu- sion. man will suffer long for expressing his opinion honestly and fairly. Every paper should express .thep-« ill inions of the egiitor. Often they Many of us, perhaps the majority of us, are blindly following the lead- ers of our respective parties. We allow the leaders to do all the thinking. and act on their say-so, no matter what the result may be. What we want is a greater number of leaders of opinion and a greater following of peoyle who can think for themselves. .\'0 two people think exactly alikv and if differences of Opinion are a reason for friction in our relation- ship, the whole world will be at logger-heads. But politics and religion are not the only subjects on which to give editorial opinions. There are many matters of local interest. These are discussed in the sh0ps and at the tiresides where there are only a few to hear the discussion. Why not discuss it editorially, when all read- bps may receive or reject it as they please? When it is known that an editor is lacking in stability, a mere weather- rock. turning to every wind that blows, his editorial Opinions will be of little vain}! and from such a Source the editorial product Of a \‘ascillating pen will have little ef- fect. He lacks stability and the next time he writes he may be on an- other tack. , ‘ The local newspaper that fails to give views as well as news in only filling part of its mission and no that an editor may hurt the 8111M??- sensitive t'eorlings of some of his readers at the time of an election by giving editorial opinions on politics. but it is vqually true he will pro- duce the same result by having a different opinion, whether he ex- presses it or not.

Some are of' strongly pruneuneed Opinioii in the ati'irmatix'e. while nthers are nega- tive and some ewn neutral. It is a matter which cannot. be settled by Governments individually. It is a question that must be settled by Governments in a world-wide manner. Sparring for Openings, as practised by the Powers in the re- cent Lausanne fiasco will settle nothing.
