It now seems assured that Canada; is to have a D�ominuonawide da.ylight-' saving law operativethis summer, iia- der which all clocks in the country twill be advanced one hour. The fact that the law is to be general instead of local will eliminate the objection- able features so ,prominent last year. It looks as though the next election will be fought on. .racial lines. Over 500 Frenchmen met nn Russell County, Ont. and nominated a French can- didate. The Liberal member now is Hon: Chas, .Murphy, and there, is also a Conservative candidate in the field. Our French; Canadian friends should` strive to avoid racial strife, but ap- parently they are inviting it.
