EDITORIAL NOTES.
1. the German Crown Prince really
dead, or has be joss been scared stiff ?
Carne to think of it, the women who
knit ate helping to "sock it to the
Germans."
A finar.ci.tl author.ty is quoted a.
predicting that the war will be fol-
lowed by a lung period of easy money.
Hurl y tip, gentlemen, and finish the
fighting.
As Lord Kitchener will doubtless
observe in reporting the charge of the
Priocees Pat's to the House ot Lords,
"Those slouch -hatted men from Can-
ada ale no slouches."
Germany btu few Mends in the
preernt struggle. By the masterly
diplomacy of Sir Edward Grey tbo
victory was virtually won for Britain
and her allies before the war was be-
gun.
Owing to the censorship, Canadians
have no reliable news as to what hap-
pened to the Princess Patricia's last
week. We can imagine what the
people of Britain have been thinkipg
.bout the censors for severte treAthe.
'That noise on Monday night was not
an echo of the earthquake in Italy, or
of the cannonading in Hsigium t it
was just the crowd in the West sheet
rink cheering their champions to vic-
tory over the Stratford hockeyista.
The members of the Manitoba Grain
Growers' Association have pledged
tbetuselveo to make • gift to the Em-
pire of the product of one acro on the
farm of each member in 1916. This is
practical patriotism.
Ooderich Is not "by any manner of
meso." the only town that has a
fiooncisl p:ollem. A correspondent
living in an Ontario town somewhat
smeller than Ooderich tells` its of s
1110,000 deficit and a 35 -mill tax rate in
that runniripality. And they haven't

Instead of Berrie and Nervier'. we
are now asked to say terries and Ser-
bien. The spokesman at tondo'. of

people. Anything to oblige. it is
easier to say Serb and Serbia,• any-
way, with • cold in your head.

son contains the naive intimation that

Well, (hat may be the purport of it'
but we fancy Sir Edward Grey would
be romewhat astonished if he found
himself using such language.
Someone defines a pacifist as "a
man who. in the hottest days of sum.
mer, tries to induce you to discard

The Toronto News nays it "refuses
to believe that the organised Western
greet -growers will insist upon free
trade and industrial rubs." The New.,
of course, is just putting up • "suave
man." What the grain -growers west
is less protection and more prosperity.
And by the way, If The New. office -
boy -or whoever it is writes its editor-
ials -thinks of tackling the leaden of
the grain -growers' movement in an
argument ou economic., he ebould get
out into the wilderness for about fort
yeen to do solus thinking.
Gentle reader, would it jar ynu if
we should stop ynu in the perusal of
these paragraphs to direct your atten-
tion to • matter which we consider of
foremost importance, of almost vital
interest ? Many things have been oc-
cupying your mind during the last
few weeks -Christmas activities, the
war, the weather. etc., etc. -and you
st.I1 have much to think of ; but for a
moment or two let us suggest that
you torn from these things, concen-
tt at a your attention, and ask yourself
this question : "Have i paid the pub-
lisher for this paper for 1916?"
The Railway Commiseioo has issued
a ruling that in future when com-
panies intend to make any change in
passenger train service announcement
of such intention lust be made pub-
lic ten days in advance. In addition
to this, would it not be well for rail-
way compaoiee, before making any
radical changes in train service, to
consult the people who are to be ef-
fected, so that any necessary changes
may be made with the least possible
friction? The railway authorities
might occasionally get some valuable
pointers from the people if they would
invite suggestions.
The Financial Poet (Toronto) is giv-
ing the Government some good advice
with regard to • proposed campaign
for increased farm production in 1915.
The Government proposes to educate
the farmers by stickin,f up posters
throughout the country setting forth
what is required of them. The Poet
says truly that the call to the farmers
would reach them mob more effect
tively through the local newspapers.
In these days of enlightenment every
worth -while farmer reads at least one
local paper, and no system of poster
advertising can be devised that will
reach the people in anything like the
same degree. Successful business urea
recognise that newspaper advertising
is for and 'Tway the cheapest and hast
method of securing the attention of
the public, and in Uovernnient busi-
ness as well as in soy other line of
business the hest methods should be
employed.
There it an interesting hit of gossip
with reference to the Conservative
nominations in Huron for the Federal
House. 11 has been generally' under-
stood that North Huron would go to
Mr. James Bowmen, the present marc-
her for Eget Huron, that Mr. J. J.
Monter, at present setting fir South
Huron, would remain as the nominee
for the rearranged South riding, and
that Mr. E. N. Lewis, now member for
West Huron, would retire, with e
berth of some sort In view. Gossip
says, however, that things may turn
out differently. The story is that the
strong anti -German feeling at present
existing may lead to the retirement of
Mr. :Verner, and that Mr. Lewis may
step into the breach to contest to

Patronage in War Supplies.
From The Toronto Star.
A Huron county manufacturer, wbo
is a Conservative, informs Th, Star
,that the industries of his county are
being almost entirely overlooked by
the Government in awarding con -
treats for war supplies. He declares
(bat goods are being bought in the
United States that could have been
produced in the county of Hurd i. and
that different manufacturers tram
towns io that (aunty have In vain
solicittd order., being always put off
with empty words. "It is not," he
save "for political reasons that the
industries of Huron county are being
treated in this way. 1 am speaking
of manufacturers who are Conserv-
atives and whore names are on the
patronage liar at Ottawa."
Three men have their grievance,
and Huron county may fairly object
if work is sent to Michigan that could
be done in Ooderich and similar
towns. There is, however, another
point raised by this protect. Why
should there bsi a patronage list at a
time like this? We are well aware
that • type of small politician declares
that nobody who bas not been •
supporter of the Government ought

ment. At ordinary times that view
