IF EVERYBODY with something to interest you should come and ring your bell, what a nuisance it would be! Think of the swarming, jostling crowd, the stamping of feet on your porch and carpets‘ Every week we know of many callers who come to see you. They never jangle the bellâ€"they don‘t take up your whole day trying to get your attention. Instead, they do it in a way that is most considerate of your privacy and your convenience. They adverâ€" tise in your newspaper! In this way you have only to listen to those you know at a glance have something that interests you. They make it short, too, so you can gather quickly just what you want to know. Yow can receive and hear them all without noise or confusion in a very few minutes. In fairness to yourself look over all the advertiseâ€" ments. The smallest and the largestâ€"you never can be sure which one will tell something you really SEE YOU Ehe EJECT HON. MACAULAY FROM FLOOR OF HOUSE Closing sessions see stormy scenes. In the provincial Legislature Wedâ€" nesday night last, the division _ on the second reading of the bill repealâ€" ing the Amendment to the Assessâ€" ment Act, passed last sess on, resultâ€" ed 80 to 0 in favor of the bill. The Government supported the bill moved by Hon. G. S. Henry. The motion‘ by Premier Hepburn, and seconded by Hon. Harry Nixon that the quesâ€" tion be now put, brought loud _ and vigorous protest from Hon. Leopold MacCaulay. Disobeying an order of the Speaker, to sit down, the member| was forcibly ejected from the chum-l ber by the Sergeantâ€"atâ€"Arms, _ the first instance of the exercise of the traditional authority of the Legislatâ€" ure. Premier Hepburn in an address of an hour said that "it was my dutyi to forestall a religious war." Premier Hepburn found the new legislation enacted by his party, pleased nobody In some cases it actually reduced the amount of money which _ Separate School Boards would be able to colâ€" lect. Roman Catholics came to the conclusion that the act was unworkâ€" able and that they were more harmed by it than helped. It did not operate as hoped and the Premier in repealâ€" ing the act, showed the courage _ of his convictions. Maclean‘s Magazine of April 1st, carries some interesting matter withâ€" in its pages that put a new slant on some phases of our national life. Since Beverley Baxter fanned the royal constitutional question into . a NO OUTSTANDING FIGURES IN OPPOSITION RANK ANO FILE flame, his writings have been eagerâ€" ly read. Then the impressions of our own Parliamentarians at Ottawa, by a politician with a notebook, leaves you wondering if he missed anybody in his onceâ€"over. This writer thinks that from the standpoint of drama, the House has been hopeless during the past session. Regarding Hon. R.l B. Bennett, he has this to say: "Mr. Bennett, always good for the headlines, has been a dead loss to the Press Gallery. And so with msi party. Whether good or indifferent, or both, the Opposition hasn‘t opâ€" posed with anything like vigor. Inâ€" deed, time and time again, Mr. Ben nett stood up to help Liberal Minisâ€" ters out with their estimates. All of which increased the mystery of Mr. Bennett‘s future. Whether he inâ€" tends remaining as party leader or retiring nobody knows. That promisâ€" RAMACE. Editor and Proprietor B«ckun Arvicw THE DURHAM REVIEW ed caucus at which he was to tell, basn‘t materialized. In the meantime unfortunately, the party appears to be driftingâ€"withont an organizer, without a national secretary, without anything resembling a headquarters staff or a bureau of propaganda. Nor has it any young ris.ng hopes. Mr. Herridge, since his famous Torâ€" onto speech, seems to have sheathed his sword. Mr. Denton Massey, who has a fondness for ihetoric, would not get Mr. Bennett‘s blessing. And Mr. Meighen seems content in the Senate. Not for years has the parâ€" ty‘s future been so shrouled in obâ€" scurity. What of the other parties? _ Very little. The C.C.F., in the House, is a spent force. Mr. Woodsworth is respected; he isn‘t feared. Mr. Coldâ€" well has firstâ€"rate ab.lity, has _ the ear of the House, but he is almost alone. His colleagues are t hirdâ€"rate. And so with the Social Creditors. Of all the groups that have come to Parliament in two decades, they are the weakest. Not one of them has yet as much as presented the Sociai Credit plan or philosophy in a forceâ€" ful way. ‘The truth is that in third parties and guerilia warriors, this Parliaâ€" ment is singularly barren. Miss Agâ€" nes Macphail is worth any ten men sitting near her. ‘Mr. Harry Stevens has passed into domplete obscurity. Not a single really effective fighter barasses the government‘s flank. At a time of supposedly wide unâ€" rest, it is a curious thing." Have you noticed the great numâ€" ber of golden wedding celebrations that have been held that year? Some marriages do well in the present age if they last five years. Foster Hewitt will give his voice a rest from covering hockey broadcasts for another eight months. His voice at the close of the hockey season, teâ€" mained as clear as his first broadcast the past winter. Wonder what dope, if any, Foster takes to be able to do this? What a grand chance an adverâ€" tising firm would have to commerâ€" cialize to advantage if they only knew the brand of throat trokey! We look for amusement and stage . play at a theatre or movie, but the: Ontario Legislative chamber has them all beaten this season. First Hon. P. Heenan got front page publicity, folâ€" lowed by Dr. Roberts of Sault Ste. Marie, when he was cast aside . by the Liberal party. The climax in the Crama of provincial legislation this season, was enacted when Hon. Leopold MacCaulay played to the galâ€" lery. _ Reading Premier Hepburn‘s memoirs some years hence, . should make interesting matter and far from being termed "dull". (Collingwood Bulletin) ! Inspector George E. Pentland _ of| public schools in South Grey, who by‘ the way is a graduate of the Collingâ€" wood Collegiate Institute, is a believâ€" er in consolidated schools. At the concluusion of an exhaustive article on school administration he claims that a system for that inspectorate would increase the average attendâ€" ance by 17 per cent, would save the‘ taxpayers of the inspectorate $23,000 a year and would make it possible to arrange a full High School course for 228 children, whoâ€"are at present foreâ€" ed to remain at home. Every teacher| in the inspectorate who holds a firstâ€" class certificate would have a job, rurâ€" al school children would be driven to school in the morning and home aâ€" gain at night, and at least one hundâ€" red men would be engaged driving the children to and from school and would receive $35,000 a year for their services. If Inspector Pentland‘s conâ€" clusions are correct, the consolidated school question would appear to merit the careful study of educationists. | M;y Friends: It is a great pleasâ€" ure to me to have the privilege of meeting so many of you here this evening. As I look down over this audience, I see many familiar faces, but among you there are only a few who like myself, have witnessed pasâ€" sing events for over fifty years.

Many of you youn£ people have neâ€" ver had a vote, and some of you who have had that privilege have not takâ€" en time to think of its importance and stayed at home on election day, and by so doing helped to defeat the mar you would rather have seen elected. How many of you young men have ever thought of, or tried to find out how much it cost advancing civilizaâ€" tion in courage and effort,, and blood and life, to gain for you the right to vote and have a part in the governâ€" ment of our country. ment of our country. ‘ Messrs Arnold and Steven Hickling We are living in a time when the} of Walkerton district spent the holiâ€" tendency of many things in practical, gay with their parents Mr and Mrs. life is to Cwarf our thinking powers!gr,. 0. Hickling. I make this statement young menl anc I want you to think _ about it. The average young men of today do not think. They do not look into thel ordinary practices of every day life, and ask themselves the question, "Are all these things right"? You have been brought up in your home and your parents have done . your thinking for you along many lines. And in many respects their thinking was good, such as: love for one anâ€" other, obedience to your parents, and respect for your elders, and _ the rights of others. These are the first lessons in discipline and manners which are the foundation of civilizaâ€" tion. Then in the school you receivâ€" ed a certain amount of education ln-l‘ tended to equip you with the neees-" sary knowledge and wisdom to nuke! a living in this world of humanity and business. Do you ever think that | our educational system could be imâ€" proved on, or is it too much trouble to think? Social conditions are such that thousands of people are sufler-i ing from lack of clothing, food, mediâ€"; cal care, pleasure and good eommny.' while our country is blessed with over‘ abundance of all things necessary to clange all these conditions. The rich | revel in luxury and many things ovâ€"| er indulgent and are not necessary ; to comfortable living while all n-l round us the poor suffer and die for | want of care, and we wonder at the prevalence of crime and disrmrdf for law. Young men and young wo-g men, think, and study out ways and . means of changing these unworthy‘ [and needless conditions .Do you evâ€"‘ er think there is something wrong with our system of government? . Is it not possible that there is where | the blame lies? Think it over. . Is ! there some weakness in the Christ !ian religion as presented by its minâ€" ‘isters, when they cannot convert the |rich and convince them that they | should be their brother‘s keeper. | But it says something in the Bible .nbaut a nich man, the eye of a needle and a camel. Think it over, convert the rich, raise the standard of livâ€" ing among the poor and offer them something in this world as well as in the world to come, and there will | be fewer inmates in our Jaills.
