From the viewport of these the re­ sult is very satisfactory. The voting was conducted peacefully, which was more than expected—and the govern­ ment party was well supported, though it was not a clear majority, over all possible opposition. Five parties had successful candidates in the running. These were: Govern­ ment, or Free State, Republican (fol­ lowers of de Valera), Independent, Labor and Farmer. However, all but the Republicans are favorable to the treaty which established the Free State and these combined have a 'big majority over the Republicans, mak­ ing up 109 while there are only 44 Republicans. The strength of the parties are: Free State 63, Republi­ cans, 44, Independents, 16, Labor, 15, Farmer, 15. x But an important feature of the situation is that the Republicans are not likely to take their own places in the parliament. In order to do this they would have to take an oath of allegiance to the Free State as at present constituted, and this they cannot consistently do. It would be directly against their principles to take the oath, as the one plank of their platform is opposition to the treaty. So they will have no influ­ ence at all, and their election was merely the registering of the elec­ tors’ opposition to the Free State. Those at the head of the govern­ ment appear to be men of good sense and the Dominion appears assured of a reasonably good government. It will be well if the Republicans decide to remain away, as should they enter parliament as an opposition they like­ ly would adopt methods of obstruc­ tion such as the Irish party in the British House ®f Commons practiced for a century, with so much damage and loss to all concerned.

McKIM.j WOULD SOAK THEM HEAVY (Kincardine Review) Inspector White was in town on Wednesday of last week inquiring in­ to conditions with respect to violat­ ions of the Inland Revenue Act and the O.T.A. The department has been informed that conditions her are very bad—worse than in any other place. Moonshine is being made and peddled and young boys are being pressed in­ to the service, so the informant says. The Inspector Jsays that similar complaints come from other towns in Bruce, though not so strong. Special officers have been here during the past two months but it is exceedingly difficult to catch the offenders and when caught they get off too easily. For violations of the Inland Revenue Act he thinks the first conviction should carry a fine of $1000—the se­ cond $2000 and a jail sentence as well s ____ The eartquake which shook t-h'e eastern coast of Japan during Satur­ day afternoon (Sept. 1st., Ontario time) appears to h-ave been more de­ structive of human life and property than any like disaster of which there is trust-worthy record. First reports stated that one hun­ dred thousand lives had been lost. We thought that later estimates would reduce this number to forty or fifty thousand. But later reports put the figures away up instead of down, so that there is now reason to believe that four or five hundred thousand may have perished. The Japanese Minister of Marine put the loss of lives in Tokio alone at one hundred and fifty thousand, and Tokio-.is only one of a number of large cities which suffered like destruction. As in the case of San Francisco, a large part of which was shaken down and burned in 1904, the wreck­ ing of buildings by the quake in the Japanese cities was followed by the outbreak of fires, and to this was add­ ed the sweep of an ocean tidal wave which flooded many coast towns and the low-lying sections of cities. The earthquake itself must have been of unusual violence, and long­ continued as it took five or six hours to record it at the observatories on this continent. The centre of disturb­ ance appears to have been in the bed of the Pacific Ocean some distance east of the islands which constitute the Empire of Japan, and these ap­ pear to have been the only dry land to suffer violent shaking. A few weeks ago a violent disturb­ ance appears to have occurred in this section of the Pacific, but it was man­ ifested only by great tidal waves which ran east and west from this centre. Scientists concluded that on that occasion a fissure or crack must have openbd in . the bottom of the ocean, that a big section of the ocean water had dropped into this, and that the tidal waves were caused 'by the opposing walls of water rushing to­ gether and being repelled, the one by the other. The 'waves which de­ luged the coast of Japan on Saturday afternoon may have had like origin. But the loss of life is only one feature of the disaster. Several hun­ dred thousand people have lost all they had, and are without homes or food. There must be many homeless widows and orphans. However, the plight of these might be worse. There is still a period of (comparatively mild weather in which preparation for winter can be made, and no doubt an effiecient government will do what it can to relieve the want and suffer­ ing. Already there are organized movements on this continent te help. Of all the places on earth that have been troubled with earthquakes, Jap­ an has suffered most. Since the eighth century, which is about the beginning of Japan’s recorded histoi^z, there have been over 2,000 earthquakes worthy of mention and during the 13 years prior to 1897 no less than 17,750 shocks or 'tremors were re­ corded. This was an average of more than three per day, but these, of course, were not of destructive force. THE RURAL SCHOOL FAIR (London Advertiser) The Rural School Fair which is held in nearly every section of the country will be taking place next month and is always an oustanding event in the lives of the children. Those who got seeds or eggs from the department last spring and have been taking care of their own gard­ ens or chickens throughout the sum­ mer months are confidently looking forward to carrying off prizes when Fair Day comes. And good luck to them all, for they deserve the le- ward for their labor. But right here is a point worth watching—what a- bout the children who have neglected their plots and poultry and have nothing to exhibit? The parents of many of these youngsters will do them inestimable harm by letting them show vegetables from the home garden or chickens from the home roost in place of what they should have raised themselves. The fathers and big brothers will make bird­ houses and other manual training articles and the mothers and big sisters will dress dolls and bake cakes which will be shown as the sole-work of the child. Thus the child gets his first lesson in dishonesty, and all for the sake of a few dollars prize mon­ ey. And the example is far-reaching, too, as the youngster who has tried honestly to do his best this year will next year try to get some older per­ son to help him because “the other kids do.” The School Fair is a great power for good throughout the count­ ry and the managers and directors are not to blame for the phase of it. The teachers can help a little by try­ ing to instil the right motives into the minds of the pupils but the root of the matter lies in the home where every child should be taught the fundamental principles of being an honest -winner or a game loser. SHOULD EGGS BE GRADED? Conteats of Crate Purchased in Brus­ sels Said “Yes” Very Decidedly. If you are in doubt as to the wis­ dom of adopting the new regulations regarding the grading of eggs, read the following eloquent testimony from The Brussels Post: One day last -week a crate of eggs arrived at the East Huron Produce Emporium, and the candling showed the following as­ tounding record: Twenty-one dozen and three eggs were rotten and three dozen graded second. Another lot showed seven dozen seconds out of sixteen and one half dozen. Not much wonder that grading was demanded. Folk, who palm off such samples as those quoted above not only suffer themselves, when known, but “saw off the heads” of their neighbors by the reduced price obtainable by dealers for seconds, instead of securing the “strictly fresh” quotations. What’s the cure ?—Better attention to the nests, more frequent gathering of eggs, earlier marketing and the sale of “cluckers” instead of permitting them to set on the nests for hours and rmaybe days. This egg question is one of importance and deals directly with the pocketbook. The new plan of grading will improve the quality of eggs offered for sale and if the Gov­ ernment takes after the sellers of bad hen fruit they will not only have to “cough up” a stiff fine but have their names embazoned on the page of lo­ cal history. Keep the rotten eggs at home and save your reputation, is the best advice The Post can give to the offenders. If they don’t inow the quality of their offerings, it is time they found out by easy but valuable experiments. —o_o-o------ TROUBLE-MAKING MOTORISTS (Toronto Star) The most dangerous man who sits in the driving seat of an auto is the man who jogs along but speeds up whenever a car coming from behind turns out to pass him. The man -who attempts to pass has looked forward and seen that he has room and time to get by, but the car infront, by speeding up, spoils the calculation. In order that there may be safety on the highways, a motorist should be safe, in assuming that the car ahead is go­ ing at the pace at which it chooses to travel, and is not lying in wait to get into a race with any car which over­ takes and attempts to pass it. The sort of driver who regards it as a personal affront if another driver seeks to go by him on the road, should keep off the public highways, #nd do his driving on the race tracks, KINLOSS COUNCIL Council met on August 27th.
