MAKING BIG MONEY
If you want to make big money,
be a successful entertainer. The
people pay their entertainers bigger
sums and they pay them more will
ingly than they pay any other class
which administers to their wants.
Successful baseball players are
tolling up fine fortunes these years—
rivalling in this the movie artists,
who, perhaps come first as the draw

The receipts from the world’s
championship baseball series of
games brought in just a little Short
of one million dollars—$900,233.
That’s what the people paid to see
the games. It was a new record, in
spite of the hard times which is sup
posed to afflict the world today.
Each of the players in the winn

the gate receipts. Each player in the

I Ex-Reeve Jas. A. Cass, of Elder-

Officer for South Bruce for the com

terms in the County Council and was
considered a likely candidate for the
Wardenship, when he suddenly retir
ed from municipal politics. Mr. Cass
farms three hundred acres or more
of land with the assistance of his
sons, and deals in cattle occasion

A GOOD RESOLUTION
On accepting the U.F.O. nomina
tion for South Grey, Miss Agnes Mc
Phail stated that, as a candidate,
she would contribute to no funds nor
in any way be more liberal or char
itable than she would have been as a
private citizen.
One of the hardships of being a
candidate, and one of the disgraces
of our elections is that no sooner is
one selected as a candidate for parl
iament than he is besieged for con
tributions of money by scores of or
ganizations of one sort and another
throughout the riding. Too often can
didates fall before this temptation,
,and indeed it is difficult to avoid it
unless one, at the beginning, makes
some such Announcement as Miss Mc
Phail has made. Some candidates of
an independent turn, have gone still
farther than Miss McPhail and have
announced that, while a candidate for
office, they would not make any con
tributions or donations. This is really
the only safe course, as, no matter
how discrete one may be, his givings,
while he is a candidate, will be look
ed upon as bribes. Sometimes they
are of that nature, but the worst
leature is that

given to understand that if he does
not “shell out” he will be put down

In the case of Miss McPhail, the
resolution will likely do little harm,
but the old party candidates, running
in the old-fashioned way, can hardly
get away from the vicious

commence on October 30, and they
will quit work by sections of the
country until by Nov. 5 all the union Ldent of the U. F. W. O. They will go
roads of the country will be idle, so
far as the union men are concerned.
Like the strike of the coal miners*
in Britain, this strike comes as the
result of an effort on the part of the
employers to reduce wages from the,
high level attained during the war
to a point more in accord with other
things. Like the coal-miners’ strike,
too, it is on an immense scale. Rail
way transportation, too, like coal
mining, is one of the vital industries
of the country, so that the strike can
not fail to be disastrous to the busi
ness of the country all round.
Public opinion, outride of the labor
unions, is likely to be against the
strikers. For a number of years the
railway men have been receiving pay
far in advance of the great majority
of workers. Times are bad in the
United States, and this strike will
make them worse. It is pretty gen
erally known that the railway com
panies have not been making money,
in spite of increases in passenger
and freight rates. They claim to be
on the verge of ruin, and incapable
of going on under present conditions.
Government management during the
war proved a failure in a financial
way. The attitude of the railway
men appears to be: “Take it out of
the public.” But the public feel that
there is about enough being taken
out of it.
The railway managers, like the
heads of many other large industries,
feel that the time has come when it
must be fought out with the unions.
These have become so exacting and
tyrannical that it is no longer poss
ible to carry on business in a success
ful way. They, therefore, take the
view that if there is to be a fight to
the finish, now is the best time for
the railways. Business on the roads
is dull; the country is full of idle
men, and if ever a strike can be
broken it is now.
In another way this great strike
resembles other recent strikes: The
union leaders are personally against
it. They know better. But the ignor
ant element forces their hands- They
must carry out whatever the major
ity of the men vote for, or make way
for men who will.

GREENOCH MAN GOES TO JAIL
He Made Whiskey
The Bruce Times of Walkerton,
had the following:—
That the moonshine whiskey in
dustry in this section is receiving
some severe jolts was evidenced here
on Thursday last, when Magistrate
James Tolton and Robt. Richardson
presided at the local Police Court
and handed out penalties that should
put a damper on activities in that
line for some time.
Robert Osborne, aged 29, a Green
ock farmer of the Lovat district, who
last July was mulcted $500 and costs
for having a whiskey still in opera
tion on his premises, apparently went
at the business again to recuperate
his depleted fortune. This was evi
denced by the finding of two barrels
of mash suitable for the manufacture
of moonshine, just over the fence in
some bushes on a blind line along
side his farm. A coat, which two
neighbors swore they had previouly
seen him wearing, was covered over
the barrels, and as Inspector White
also identified the garment as the
one that was near the still on Os
borne’s farm on the occasion of the
former raid in July, the Court con
cluded that it had been part of the
granger’s apparel at some time or
other, notwithstanding the declara
tion of Osborne and his wife at the
trial that they had never before seen
the coat. A path, which led from the
two barrels to a deserted house on
Osborne’s farm, and which shack
contained a stove and a place for
sleeping that suggested that it might
have been used frequently at night,
was another bit of circumstantial evi
dence that led the Court to the con
clusion that the mash was the pro
perty of the accused planter and that
he was at the booze-making game
again. Some nice legal tilting took
place between Lawyer Tucker, of
Owen Sound, who appeared for the
accused, and David Robertson, K.C.,
of Walkerton, who led the attack for
prosecution, the outcome being that
Osborne was found guilty of a second
offence against the Booze Law, and
as this carries a jail term with it, he
was sentenced to six months’ impris
onment, together with a fine of $500,
and, in default of payment, to an
other six months behind the bars.
While much sympathy is expressed
for the wife and four young children,
who are innocent suffeiers, in this
case, yet it is hoped the fate of the
accused will have a salutary effect
upon others who may be tempted to
dabble in the illicit booze business.
