F. 0. into politics, then why did he go out on the bustings when the election cam- paiims were on? It may not he fact. but it is the p0p- ular belief that the 1'. F. O. tie-Operative Company’s losses were to a great. extent. magnified by the absence from duty of its officers on political platformsâ€"and Mr. Morrison was one of them. Mr. Morrison's utter- ances cannot now be taken seriously in face. of the fact that it was not until the U. F. 0. political organization suffered defeat at the polls that Mr. Morrison discover- ed they should never have been there. He evidently liked the cream when the party was in the ascendancy. but now in its trials, and tribulations. he is in no mind to sit down and take the skim milk which of ne- cessity always lies at the bottom of the can. Taking Mr. Morrison’s statement. seriously, it is difi‘ieult to see where Miss Macphail comes in. If the 1’. F. 0. has no business in politics. it is hard to see the reason for Miss Macphail occupying the represent- ative position gained by her at the last election. If we were Miss Macphail. we would not thank Mr. Morrisâ€" son for his recent statements, for if the farmers take Mr. Morrison seriously, it will be a dark day for the lady from Ceylon at the next election. On the other hand. Miss Macphail has had nothing but praise to ofler (or Mr. Morrison. To her he was “Ontario’s Grand Old Man" and now he says she should never have been in politics! The ulcl saying that “poverty make“ queer homel- lows" is even more corn-eel, than the one who uttered it ever holiest for. As a strum: supporter of Mr. Mor- rison. Miss Macphail always has voiced her objection to the "broadeningâ€"out” policy of Mr. Drury: in the vicinity of Durham. at. least. South lirey farmers: are ardent Druryites. What are they going to do with Miss Macphail‘.’ AS an Opponent «it their “broadening- out" policy. will they support her at. the next election, or will they be forced to run a candidate favorable to their Views; or. Morrisunlike. will Miss Manhail change her views to suit the aeration“? And there you are. You will haveto figure it out for yourself. We can't. Further, we‘re not going to try. LAWS All) THEIR BNPOROBIBNT The putting of laws on the statute hooks and not, putting them into effect can never be productive of much good. A couple of years ago'there was a great deal of comxilaint about the glaring lenses used by motorists and legislation was introduced to regulate the evil. New kinds of lenses Were ordered. and many car-users complied with the order. The old lenses the lenses now in use are, if anything. worse than the old ones. A' car may be supplied with a dimming device, but 'what good is it if not used by each car as it approaches? Any person driving at night can see the evil of the blinding lenses too frequently in use. If such laws are to remain on the statutes they should be enforced for the comfort and safety or drivers. If not enforced they might as well he rescinded. The making of laws, and neglecting or refusing to enfr‘rcr them, brings the “we and law-makers into diamm ‘te. The same hold 7*“? in smaller matters an! ."m. nublic is not slow to ilwrn whether or not the VIRW IN, Editor and Pr0prietor Thursday, October 11, rmlwr law -makers are in earnest. Some time ago the Town Council issued a warning against the nuisance of riding wagons on the sidewalk by prepelling them with one foot. The riding of bicycles on sidewalks was simi- larly forbidden, but the wagons and bicycles are stiil on the sidewalks to the annoyance and danger of pedestrians. So far as we kn011. the order was never considered seriously and well 1entu1e that mam of tW1e youngsters 11ill ha1e fo1 gotten that the ordm 11:15 111 er gi1' en. A speed of more than twenty miles an hour in town is excessive, according to law, and should not be allowed. Yet it isn’t an uncommon thing to see. car drivers exceeding this by tlfty per cent.. or even more. Many of the speeders. if called to account. will swear they weren’t going over twelve or fifteen miles an hour. They may be. honest in their belief. as few drivers. unless provided with a spetnlometer. have. any idea of how fast they are going. People will tell you that Ford cars are not likely to exceed the speed limit. of twentyâ€"five miles an hour. We are confident that twenty-the miles an hour is quite fast enough for a Ford car. but the speed cop told us a few daysago he has followed Fords running at the ante ol' forty and forty-two miles an hourâ€"«and we believe him. This may seem incredible. but we have watched a Ford spemtometer when the indicator was juggling: past. the forty mark. Sutl'iee to say. we would feel just as comfortable going at half the speed. 'l‘herv are few drivm's whu do nut. oxmwl the speed limit 01' twonty-flw milns an hour. and nu a good stretch of straight; mud whm'v tlw way is clear is (1005-- n‘t. look like a Very svt‘imls crinw.

The nights are getting longer and the weather getting] colder. Haw you been making any piluis‘.’ .\re you! satistied with the knowledge you haw new, or do ymi think you could imprmc your chances by a little ap~ plication in acquiring a deeper knowledge in sultiecls on which you are defective, or perhaps of which you know nothing“? \Ve know there are lots of attractions in e\ery community to draw us away from p'n'suil= that would make us wiser and stronger mentally. awl at the same time do no injury to our physical make-uni 'l‘he attractit‘ms that rob us of rest will atl'ect us meu- i tally and physically. and unlit us. for the pursuit Ht" our everyday business. Dissipation of any kind will impair physical development. We may not. feel it to- day or to-morro'w. but the time is hound to come. when Nature will assert. her/rights and put in a bill for all that's coming to her. It may be some time before the ldemand is made. but the time will most assumtly come and the penalty will follow. Our suggestiim would be to get some good books on a good subject and give it. a close and careful study. It may he history. mathematics, geography. literature or biography, but whatever it is let it be something that will make you a bigger ,a better and wiser per- son. Light reading may be good enough for recreation but we haven‘t much faith in it as a means or develop- ing the mental faculties. The reading of a book in such. a way that you’ll forget it in a day or two will never do any one much good. The reading to be bene- ticial must. be deep enough to make us think, for think- ng is what makes the man. It isn‘t a good plan to read without thought and reflection. Reading page after page without. thinking of what you read will never do much in storing the mind with good things. A single paragraph may be enough for a night’s read- ing, and a paragraph well read and well assimilated is worth a whole volume of the perfunctory reading that is too often indulged in. Some reading may as well be forgotten. It may give a momentary pleasure, and. as we have already said, serve as a light recrea- tion. It isn't necessary to remember some of the stutl‘ we read; it would be just as well to forget it as soon as possible.’ The only reading. as we see it, that. does a person any good is the reading that causes him to think. fills him with better thoughts and makes him a bigger and broader man. Perhaps a mathematical subject would he more in your line. Euclid is a good subject for any person to spend time. over. A person cannot well demonstrate a woposition without thinking. In the demonstration of a proposition the thoughts follow in regular and logical order and he who learns and masters a single proposition, or wrestles through a «litt‘icult deduction cannot fail to come out of the struggle mentally stronger because of the mental concentration neces- sary to accomplish his purpose. If you are fond of poetry. why not select some or the poetical gems, of which our. libraries are full? Memâ€" orize: get their full meaning; make them part and par- cel of yourself; say them over in your waking hours, and your memory cannot fail to be improved by the effort. The process at first may be slow and difficult, but it will not be long till a similar task may be ac- complished rapidly and with comparative ease. People say they cannot mmnorize. This is not true. They may not be able at first to memorize easily, but the dullest will soon be surprised at his own ability after a little honest and persistent effort. or course you can memorize. It may be slow at. first, but it will get eas- ier as you proceed. When France gets out of Germany depends ori what she gets out 0! it.-â€"Washington Post.
