THURSDAY, AIM'S? 22nd, 1935
277 miles of new rural power line
construction have been authorized,
a marked advance over previous
years. About 2,000 additional rural
Ontario customers have been added
to the people’s system.

were $>23,503 as compared with $9,-

cial revenues last year were $16,-
53/5 as against $3,814 in 1917; kilo
watt hours sold for lighting were
<617,392 as compared with 46,675
in 1917, and plant capital is now
valued at $51,600 as compared with
but $18,978 in 1917.
With domestic and commercial
lighting rates of 2.5 and 3.4 cents
per kiolwatt hour respectively last
year, Exeter enjoyed the low aver
age cost to lighting consumers of
2.68 cents per kilowatt hour.
The rate is about half the aver
age rates prevailing in even larger
United States cities. It has been
calculated that the application to
Ontario of United .States private
power rates would add over $40,-
000,000 annually to Ontario’s elec
tricity bills.
In its efforts to extend through
out all Ontario’ the advantages /of

All over the Anglo-Saxon world is
cause of the taking off of Will Rogers,
trying years that have wrung the withers of our best and bravest,
Will Rogers has enabled tens of thousands to meet hard circum
stances’ with a smile and a high resolve to- stick it till the clouds
lifted and. glad, happy morning was once more the lot of all clean
workers. Now that he has gone from us, much of the sunlight has
left us. Yet it ns not purs1 to mourn that this, courageous spirit ts
at rest but to be glad that he tarried with us so long.
STEADY, ALL!
Let us admit a feeling of disappointment because the harvest of
1935 is not as abundant as hoped for. We ibelieve that we needed
something special in the way of farm production 'in order that ac-
cummulating financial obligations might be satisfactorily met. Now
that we have but an ordinary yield it is not to be wondered- at if
some .feel depressed. We cannot but feel chargined because Italy
and Ethiopia are so nearly at each other’s throats at a time when
the race sorely needed peace and 'productive enterprise and unlimit
ed good will. N®r can there be anything else but uneasiness be
cause of the prevailing social and economic fretfulness. These and
other factors /give men grave concern. At the same time it ie well
to remember that brew and stew of one sort or another seem to be
the lot of man. When we think of the misery of our times it is well
to recall the dark days that our country /survived; times so> distres
sing that it was said that Christ and His saints slept. Compared
with /condition® of centunies ago, we are in the calm of a summer
over-ruling providence, a
the worst turns the best
with condition® of centunies ago, w;e are
evening. What is needed! is faith "in an
steady mind and a busy hand. “(Sudden

WE AGREE
The iSt. Thoma's Tim’es-Journal has been, doing its /simple duty
by reminding magistrates tihat the way some of- them have >of over
tempering justice with mercy is not in the interests of public wel
fare. Of course that live paper has come in for some severe critic
ism' for its timely action.
Well, we commend the Ti/mes-Journel for its stand. There are
certain law® of the road that all should obey. .For instance when
the laws of .the road are violated the penalities prescribed by law
should be imposed. The driver who' knows what is /coming to. him
■when he breaks the law will think twice before taking a chance. If
•he knows that clever counsel may have the penalty set aside he
simply laughs a.t the crown and goes on his reckless, potentially-
murderous way. When judges and magistrates learn that law is to
be administered and citizens learn that laws are to be obeyed things
will run. much more smoothly in this good land. We commend the
Times-Journal. ,

Italy i® bent on war with Ethiopia. No rhyme nor reason that
other nations have been able to advance so far has been sufficient
to restrain her greed. It is territory that she wants and territory
she iff bound to have, if making war will gain her purpose, no matter
what blood flows and what women are widowed.
And this from a country noted for its law and from the shadow
of one of the greatest cathedrals the world ever has known.
However, the history of the world iff the judgment of the world.
Goodness is the nature of things. It has been the way of the world
that good has destroyed evil. Napoleon vowed that France should
dominate Europe. He found hi® way to St. Helena. Bismark re
solved that Germany should rule Europe. He found his way to a
dusty but deeply cursed oblivion. Instead of his proving Germany’s
best friend he laid the way for her torture. Mussolini is bound to
go the way of all who practico inhumanity and injustice. That Is
as certain as death. .............
