JAN. 19, 1912 RIGHT -GO AHEAD! Mayci Reid is to be commended for his energetic action in the matter of the Onto io Welt Shore Railway bonds+, ant it ie to be hoped that the conterente of last Friday will have tangible results. Mr. Moyes roust underiunI that the patience of the people or these municipalities .that have assisted him in hisenterprise is well-nigh exbsusted, and that the municipal tepresentytives will have, public minion strongly behind them if they refuse to let the matter drift any longer. For three year there has been a dt ire on the part.of t he people 'Of the town of Goderich to secure an investigation of the railway's affairs, but the other municipalities were not prepared to join in the effort. Now that unite] action on the part of the municipalities seems to be assured, the people would welcome an investiga- tion the' would show how over $800,- 000 has been expeuded on" the incono plate railway. THE COMMISSION STAYS. The Ontario Government has de- cided that for the present at (east the hydro -electric power eyetem is not to be placed in charge of s department of the Governtneut, but that it will con- tinue in the hands of tit.Hydtd elec- tric Commission. ' The announcetncnt of the propobed change. to do away with the Ooinmia- sion and appoint a Minister of Power to control the hydro -electric project, " was, made by Sir James Whitney in his,manifeeto issued before the Pro- vincial elections. The proposal met with a good deal of criticism and only a few days ago Mr. N. W. Rowell in a speech at Dundas condemned it as a betrayal of the municipalities and a move, that wouldtjead to the .introduc- tion of politics into tht administration of the system. ILThe Government organs profess to believe that Mr. Rowell's stand had nothing to do with the change of front on the part of the Government, but no matter what were the roses ins which inflnencel the Government the decision it has just announced is a wise one. Politicai pattrtlige and political interests genersll,y should be kept as far its p teeible removed from the movement for cheap power. THE WORLD 3�SHIPBUILD1f4G. The Signal has received a copy of The Glasgow Herald's annual Ship. building, Industrial and Ci,,ni orcial Review, containing a very compete hensive survey of operations in these lines throughout the commercial world. Shipbuilding is. of course, the great industry of Glasgow. and chief prominence in the Review is given to the conditions which mark this indus- try in Scotland and elsewhere. The adverse influencer of labor disturh- ancesduring the past year are men- tioned, but in spite of this and other drawbacks the statement is made that "there has been a period of unex- ampled prosperity in shipbuilding and marine engineering. The statistics given on the following pages are suffi- cient proof that in all the countries in which these ore important industries -America ex: ept•d-far more wurk has been done than in any previous year.' Further, the prospects of con- tinued prosperity in thew industries are most assuring. The flgurea showing the output of the shipyards of the world indicate once mote the great preponderance of Brit ish shipbuilding. During 1911 there were launched in the shipyards of the lrnitexl Kingdom I.47B veseele. with a total tonnage of 2,(H).197 ; •`eol.miAl" shipyards turned not 152 vesee4a, with a 'tonnage of 29,949: and foreign shipyards ars credited with I.gtie vessels, with • tonnage of 1,4514,. .S. Great Britain, therefore last Tsar turned out considerably more THE SIGNAL 1141DERICH ONTARIO '.hat one -halt the total tonnage of the world's shipyards. Of the foreign countries Germany is nuking progress in shipbuilding, while the t'oitea States is falling behind in • marked degree. It is not surprising that a Glasgow journal sbould call attention to the pre-eminent position of the Clyde as • shipbuilding district. In 1911 it pro- duced a larger tonnage than any cuuotry apart trout the United King- dom Its total was not far abort of those "f Germane and the United States combined. and was much tomer than that of any other single district in Great Britain. Thune who for political t-eaaone talk of the alleged decadence of British in- dustry will find these facts regarding British shipbuilding a tough argument to deal with. EDITORIAL NOTES. Goderich Scow are getting into con- dition tor the Burns anniversary cele- bration next week. 'Twull be a grain' nicht. The people of the Rainy River dis- trict are again talking of seceding from Ontario, What's the matter with the Whitney Government? The Dominion Parliament is again sitting, and it great portion of the time of the House semina to be spent in die- cussiog the dismissals made by the Government since taking office. Mr. Borden's pre-election proposals of civil service reform are not being put in elect just yet. Professor Stephen Leacock, address- ing a Toronto audience the other day, deplored the fact that "there is no public opinion to;lsy (in Canada) out- side that manufactured by the 'inter- ests."' Attd yet Professor Leacock himself was one of tib biggest shouters for the "interests" in the anti -recipro- city campaign. The grain storage capacity at Port Arthur and Fort William is now 22.000,000 bushels, and Targe increases, it is reported, are to be made during the present year. On the United States side the storage capacity at the head of the lakes is :i2,250,II00 buehels, but with the. large increases being made at ,the Canadian ports these figures may very soon be overtaken. With the question of China's destiny holding so large a share of public at- tention, it will be a great mistake if Rev. Dr. Donald MacGillivray, who is, in Canada at the present time, is not persuaded . to give an s4dress in his hometown on the suhject' on which heleao well quelifl-d to *peak. We hope that some organization in town will make a p tint of securing the Doc- tor for on address some evening this winter.

Labouchere out editor of Lindon Truth anthnleml:er of Parlia- ment was for many yews one of the most" striking figures in British at- tains. Before Radicalism wanes popu- lar as it is now, "fett.hy" was a pronounced Itidicnl, and though his sympathies were usually with the Liberal party he never took office in a Cabinet. apparently 'preferring his role of free lance. Figures which have been published show that the Whitney Government's popular msjorityin December was only about half as huge as in 1908. In the constituencies in which contents were held the relnction in the total vote was about foul teen per cent., due no dnuht to seine extent to Lhe fact that the election was held in the winter. Toronto had the largest percentage of cancelled or rejected ballots, while Centre Huron had the test record in the Province, with only live votes re- jected and a simile' number cancelled. Of course. it is not surprising to learn that voting intelligence is higher in this gond Grit riding than In be- nighted Toronto. Joseph Fels, the mill' airs single taxer, was in Toronto this week sprawling the gospel of Henry George. Mr. Fels made his money under sods' conditions which he considers impro- per, and he is «pending it in the en- deevor to enlighten pe sple so that tbey will apply the re rn-4v to pat social condition os a propsr basis.

A meeting which may have far- reacbiug results was held lost week at Berlin. It was • gathering of repre- sentatives of a dozen or more cities and townsdor the purpose of urging the Government not to proceed with the Georgian Bay canal project at the present time, but to give its attention to the development of the Great takes and Welland ('anal route. "The Great Waterways Union et Canada" was formed, and aoutbcr meeting will be held its the near future with the object of showing the Governtnest that public opinion its Western On- tario is strongly behind the move- ment. A representative from Owen Sound was protein at the meeting last week, and made an alternative proposi- tion. Owen Sound is opposed to the Georgian Bay canal project,' and be- lieves that a small portion of the money proposed to be expended os the canal if spent in improving the facilities at Georgian Bay porta and encouraging lower rail rates to the , seaboard would give better results. Goderich would take similar ground in reference to the advisability of im- proving the present lake ports before launching such a tremendous under- taking ns that of the Georgian Bay canal. Without taking the stand- point Ut sectional interests. it would wenn o the reasonable pclicy for the Got ement to enlarge the Wel- land Canal and improve the facilities at present transshipping points on the lakes and the Georgian Bay before„ making any expenditure upon the new scheme except for purposes of in- vestigation to determine if tha scheme is one that should be undertaken by the Government.

When the canal is built the people of Saakatchewae can ship their grain through Alberta, over the Rocky Mountains, through British Cotombia, down the Pacific, back through the Panama Canal, and accuse t h e Atlantic.

Of cuurae there are some forbidden the cold dip by doctor's orders. But it is to those who have not yet experi- enced its joys and who have no physi- cal disability that these hints are given. The Ideal time to "get the habit" is in summer time or in early September before • chill is in the air. Then it will carry iteelf on into cooler weather imperceptilly. Use good sense about it.

Then. when in a tine glow, he drops into the tuts, of cold water and splashes for a minute or two, springs out. dries himself with a rough towel, and goes' through a aeries of rubbing exercises, in the course of which every part of his body gets a good, stimulat- tng friction with his palms. Then to dress --and he goes forth feeling fit to conquer a man a share of the earth. But the masculine part of the com- munity has no mortgage on that splendid sensation of a italitt and energy. Any girl who goes at it with good sense can share in its joys, es- pecially if she has a warm bathroom at command. If freshly drawn cold water be a little too much for hel(et Bret it zuay be tempered. or, if drawn ever night, the chill will go off. Yet after a little she probably will come actually to crave the real "live" feel- ing of the brisker contact. A noted Fest Indian authority on physical well-being and the means for attaining it recommends a slightly different routine, in that he tells one to leave the akin alightly moist (in- stead of drying thoroughly), to slip on the undergarments and to exercise so. This, he says, -and his word is fully confirmed by many who have tried it -brings a quick glow and a � feeling of exhilaration delightful to experience. But either program fol. lowed faithfully, will make the day a ' different matter to the one who has ' wally found "beginning right" no easy thins to accomplish. .
