SIR,- Will you kindly allow me spate for a few lines of eit ation in regard to w hat 1 said at the public meeting on Moil - day evening, when speaking of the coin- rnission paid to those employed to can- vass for subscriptIOAsto the Victory loan' 1 was thinking mainly of the towns and cities. 1 had no personal feeling or interest an the matter, and didn't even know who the canvassers were for any town or distract. I had supposed as 1 believe most of hose present did. that the work would be done wither the week. and that after the amount ipt.advertisutg the loan had received the canvassers' task would be a comparatively easy as well as brief one. I had, therefore, like others, taken at fur granted that, as in the case of the canvass for the Patriotic and Red Cross funds, there would he little or to dfliculty in finding men who would do thework gratuitously, as a pa- triotic service. This seemed the more probable and reasonable in view of the great amount of tame and labor t(iat have been devoted cheerfully and gra- tuitously by so many women and some men to Red Cruse collecting and other war work. during the last two years. Accordingly, when I was told on what seemed to me reliable authority --from two different sources that one per tae commission was to be allowed on all sub- scriptions, to be divided among the Can- vassers. i hesitated to believe it, and therefore -,asked for authoritative in- formation on the subject. No one un• dertook toe it to, the meeting, but 1 have since been informed by some of the convassers that the commission allowed is only one-half of one per cent. to be divided equally among the canvassers; that the latter were pledged to devote a month to the work and to\make a close and thorough canvass, aird that there isa good deal of trouble itwolved in seeing that ell forms are properly filled out. I don't wish to be unfair to anyone, and 1 am quitewawilling to ar totth i ate that 1 was mistaken in r to the rate of the commission. and that view of the time and trouble req the ma- jority of the canvassers --if they are to be paid- will receive, especially. thosein rural districts. not more than a r able remuneration. I still think. however. t 1 i that it a reflection on the intelligence Af investors, and on the patriotism of Canadian cit- izens, that it should be necessary, after all the advertising' that has teen date in the papers and by circulars. to employ paid canvassers to induce people to subscribe. and (2) that if the Finance Minister judged it necessary, in order to ensure the suc- cess of the loan. to take such a course. he should have taken pains to inform the public of the facts. and not have left room for sundaes and lianaMions. As it is, there has been s much r.astefulness and profiteering sanctioned, • or at least 'al- lowed by the Government, that it is not to be wondered dt that people are suspicious of graft where theres is torte. It IS best in such cases to tell the whole truth to the public. • 11. I. STaAm . TRUST THE WELL -TRIED LEADER. To the E4,toe at The Nranal. DEAR MR. EDITOR, -How• welcome in this time of confusion is the distinct and intelligible utterance of a long -tried leader. The manifesto of Sir Wilfrid Laurier will, I suspect, bring great relief to many as well as myself. It would seem that the bolting of a few of his more skittish lieutenants nearly stampeded the whole bunch. It strikes me as very remarkable low inventive the Conservatives have always been of slogans, and what reliance they place in them to setter our wits when there is an eletlion to win. i confess that "down with party" and "win the war" eries were very catching with me. and, allowing thea[ to be correct, it seemed very simple for me to lay aside a little conceit and do a bit towards settling' the war. . • But, after all, 1 must not now forget my own pretensions as .a Liberal. The' war will never be settled until settled right. Let us get that clear. There can be no shortcut or makeshift to that end. And if ever Liberal principles were worth any- thing it .s right now in our Sore need. They are based on the ultimate triunijih of right and are Just the thing for stormy weather. i h - ve no Motion of belittling the terrible gravity of the war situation; but to sur- render all to a "win the war" cry is to ad- mit too much.

Gaspe Co., Que., Nov. 12 (Special) -Mrs. Felix Ascah is telliing her numerous friends here that her complete recovery from kidney disease from which she suffered for years is due to the splen- did work of Dudd's Kidney Pills. "My trouble started from a strain. i suffered for years. I was attended by a doctor and was also treated at a hospital. i suffered from stiffness in the joints. I had a bitter taste. especially in the morn- ings. and at' times was subject to severe headaches. f had a pressure and often a sharp pain at the top of my head and my skin itched and burned at night. Neither from the doctor nor at the hospital did 1 get any permanent relief. Then I started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and two boxes did me so much good 1 feel like recom- mending them to everyone who has kid- ney trouble. THE VICTORY LOAN Thr3e Days' Work in Huron County Brings Out $325 000. The Victory Loan campaign in Gode- rich opened on Monday morning with a procession of motor cars around the Square and on the streets leading from the Square. Since then the canvassers have been busy, with good results so far, and it is hoped that by the end of the month Goderich will have subscribed its hill quota for the loan. Up to last night (Wednesday) $328,000 had been subscribed in Huron county. The county's share of the loan is S1,;i00.000, and the committee hopes even to exceed this amount. A public meeting for the discission of the Victory Loan was held in the court house on Monday evening and was well attended. Rev. J. E. Ford was in the chair and the speakers were Rev. W. L. Armitage, of Toronto. Sheriff Reynolds Mr. M. G. Cameron and Mr. J. L. KilloraA. The Goderich Orchestra furnished an excellent musical program. MANY alaMrTIONS ALLOWau.

"My Irish Cinderella" is the title 'of the new four -act comedy drama which will be seen at Victoria Opera House next Wednesday. November 21. it is said to be entirely different from the Irish plays that have been seen in recent years. it tells the story of a little Irish girl, Peggy McNeil, and her ad- ventures in this country and abroad. It has a good clean,- interesting story and the characters are all human and real. It sparkles with true Celtic sit. and there is no caricature of the Irish race, as is so often seen in so-called Irish plays. At the opening of the play, Peggy is found as a drudge in a poorhouse. She has been given a story book of Cinder- ella, and while she is r ading it a strange train of circumstances begins which finally lands Peggy in England, as the heiress of the Earl of Lonsdale. Adventures now happen to Peggy in rapid succession. She falls in love with a young American aviator. serving in the cause of the Allies. She finds that to be rich is not always to be happy. At one moment the audience laughs with her and the next minute it cries with her. Miss Daisy Carleton, in her action of the title role, presents a character draw- ing which is perfect. 'The beauty of the rich Irish dialect is carefully brought out. and Mise Carleton is a charming and de- lightful littler oreen. She isa remarkably clever dancer and during the action of the play has several sone hits. A splendid supporting company adds to the interest of the play and a beau - t iful.scenic production it promised by the m anagernent.
