1p!HraSI)AY, JANUARY 31sh THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE EDITORIAL well done : Toronto has done exactly the right thing in insisting that speechmaking done in that city shall be made in English. Canada has no use for the man who does not believe in her instit utions. Still less place has she for those who flout the marriage tie, who encourage free love and teach (Children to* despise their parents and who encourage children to neg lect their children. Canadians have certain well-known ideals of loyalty to their sovereign and of duties to one another. They believe that right makes right. They believe in the confidence that justice as ad ministered by our courts is infin itely superior to mob rule. They regard the school, the home and the church as pillars of the church. With such principles the “reds” stand in sworn opposition. Those eating Should respect principles. When they r should be Front Atlantic to room for treason nor for indecency nor free love nor atheism. We are only ’too painfully aware of our lim itations, but we know that these limitations may be removed by con stitutional means,' and not be trea son. - ' The red menace now showing its ugly head is "the foe of all that is good. Its apostles sleep not unless .they have menaced liberty and dec ency. Its 'back is toward the light, its face is toward the wilderness. Toronto’s action is not a muzzling of free speech. It is an effort to pro tect herself against those who plot her and Toronto lead. ROBE STOLEN On Saturday evening between six and seven o’clock a robe belonging to Mr. C. w.

WAT ABOUT THE GIRLS This good town is looking fine results from the coming of handle factory. Many hope to see within its walls forty men busily employed. Good, and only good is looked for as the next step naent for the leisure or the ment outside Exeter wishes as well as her men. Our ideal is a job for every pair of hands. Somewhere there is capital avail able for such a factory. Somewhere there are those requiring just such a site as Exeter has to offer. In this eituation lies our .opportunity. Why should we not be go-getters? Every paying factory that comes to . town means more .population, more hous es and more business. Moreover, each new factory opens the way for another new industry. One swallow idoes not make a summer nor do a few industries make a town. * * * *«« a result. Logically, is to secure employ girls who have the necessity for employ- their own homes, to retain her women WATCH FOR IT I Though we are in no one’s fldence in the matter, we’ll not be surprised if the proposition of abol ishing the present local boards1 of jschool, trustees and of substituting- therefor township boards will come lap for discussion at the apjiroaching meeting of the provincial parliam ent. That the matter is under active consideration is quite well known. Our suggestion as that all parties interested should be on the alert. Boards should have their minds made up as to what they really wish and be in. a position to speak the mind of the school sections they represent. Governments, as a rule, are wise enough not to run ahead ■of public opinion. Equally true is It that governments frequently are mislead by,noisy folk -who take up on themselves to voice the senti ments of a community but who are unacquainted with the real wish of those whose opinions they assume jto express. con- THE LATE GEORGE A.
