Each eligible voter is responsible for the use, or nun -use, of his franchise. o a a With Skit, many' unsolved murder cases'iu Ontario, why don't the author ities enlist the services of some• of these smart fellows of the detective stories who always get their roan? 0 # a We have received for review a little volume of poetry, "Silur'ia and Other Poems," by J. Lewis Milligan (The Ryerson Press,. Toronto; price $1.23). We haven't had •tittle to more than skim through it, but it seems that any one who ventures to publish a book of poems in, these unpoetle times is en- titled •tcli- s()me encouragement. Probably never at any other season ago. Majorities •have peen smaller in some cases, but there is uo sign of any such change as would upstl the Government. Mr. Churchill keeps ask- ing for a general election, perhaps hoping that he will not get it until a few more years of .austerity turn the voters against -Socialism. • IEEBUJRN I EEB,I'RN, Pec. 2.—The sympathy day. icor S.S.

Losses, of. men,--zmoney and materials inevitably leave a , 'country poorer. Perhaps the sound- ness of this proposition is now be- ginning to dawn upon the minds of some people who thought that• the "gopd times" would last . forever. • The Canadian • Government is squeezed between the desire to help Britain in her time of short rations and the natural desire of Canadian producers to be allowed to sell their products wherever they .can get the best -price .,for them.. Do the Cana dia>5. people rya l r want the Governmeirt to extricate itself from this position and, so far as Canada is Concerned. let • the people of the Old Country look after themselves? Huron County Council showed a . commendable spirit of independence in rejecting proposals that the Provincial • Go,vexntnent should make larger grants for education and Children's Aid work. As one" Councillor stated, control goes .with money' grants, and as more ,curd more control_ is handed over to the Government the natural result will be, .the • abolition of. county "euunciis and the further -centralization of admin- istration. It is always to be borne in mind—though many persons seem to forget it --that the people pay for public services, whether the taxes go to"the municipal, the Provincial or the Federal f�overnment, and as a rule these sorOces cost more if controlled. by. a centralized authority rather than by local bodies. Furthermore, it can be ' deniopstrated that in some cases when services are centrally controlled the taxpayers of the outlying districts pay more than tlai,r fa ir share of expenditures incurred largely in be- half of the cities. - fl 0 0 IIOLMES\'ILLE, Dec. 2.--Iltrs.
