To the true Orangeman the parade is but an incident. ******** They came. The needed .showers have come and western' Ontario' is smiling. The pastures have revived to a. delightful degree. The fall wheat is filling, the corn is simply jumping, the roots change overnight, while the second crop-, of alfalfa is getting ready for harvesting. Farmer Brown is goin,g cautiously for he knows that his- hay mows are away behind those of last year and lie realizes that the best part of the growing season is past. No showers keep the sun high in the heavens and without the long, sunny days the best growth is not possible. ******** HOW IN TUNKET! Brother Eedie of the St. Marys Journal-Argus tells,.us that his printing shop was actually visited by a gunman in search of cash. We have every confidence in brother Bedie's capacity for setting things down just a.s they are .and yet we wonder about this alleged incident. Will our brother show us why any, intelligent gunman should visit a newspaper man’s shop in the hunt of cash. Brother Eedie or no Brother Eedie we simply can’t get' this thing through our mind. “ ’tain’t nater&l.” Anyway, the gunman have paid Brother Eedie a high financial compliment. , ******* * AND NOW! Well there have been a number of people who have contend ed that a freer sale of beer and wine would be a good thing for the province. There have -been a number of people who have 'thought that the freer sale of beer and wine would prove injurious to the ■province. We’ll soon see which party is right. 'It may as well be said that the province is unanimJous on one point, viz, that we want no one is fr'ee to prove .himself a. nuisance, through the use of beer and wine, or in any other' way. Mr Hepburn is very clear on that point. His government is equally clear. Should the new regime fail in this matter and a few deaths ensue as the result of alcoholic intoxication, we will have trouble of a serious kind. At anyrate, vendors of beer and wine and consumers thereof will do well‘to mind the step, stop and think. Impetuous1 youth and' avaricious trade had better * ******* THOSE STRIKES the United States are- no longer business contests It is high time that they came Strikes in _ but look very much likie civil war. to an end.But there, is no likelihood in the- world 'that they will come to. an end a.s things are at present. The simple realson for the contin uance of labor strife is that the working men have little confidence in the m.en appointed to arbitrate by the government and' by em ployers. The working people feel, rightly or wrongly, that the die© are loaded against them before they sit down to play the game of get-together. As long as-this continues ’trouble is sure to be ever with us. 'Further, as long as the arbitration boards .go on the prin ciple of "going down the middle" lasting good -cannot result. And that is about all that the average arbitration board attempts. The folly of that way of doing was exposed’ thirty years by Dr, Adam, Shortt, about the best arbitrator in labour 'disputes that Canada ever has known, Dr, Shortt went' on the principle of finding out what the .real 'difficulty was in the dispute and then removing that difficulty. His aim was far more far-reaching than a mere effort to please both parties. After the difficulty involved was disposed, of, Dr. Shortt tried to find out a. method of /carrying on that would prove beneficial to all parties concerned, even when this involved, procedure, that neither party to the dispute had thought of. When •a section of the commonwealth cannot agree It is the duty of the state to step In and to enforce such conditions as are in the interest of the nation. Till this principle is recogniaied and intelligently acted upon, the United States is bound to have trouble. However there is little hope' of porgress when dollars rank higher in folk’s Judgment than service. ’This mtiist not be overlooked.

TRUE, Canadians have elected Chevrolet queen of performers by making it the great sales leader. But you be the judge, today! Ask for a Chevrolet to drive yourself—and we’ll provide the car. Chevrolet’s fully-enclosed Knee-Action absorbs every bump and jar . . . makes riding in the back seat, like the front seat, a smooth and restful glide. Chevrolet has greater weight, something that means not only quality and dependability, but surer road holding ability and liner riding qualities. And Chevrolet’s exclusive Blue Flame cylinder head gives more power, using less gasoline than ever! Don’t buy until you compare.
