Robertson Again Nominee North Huron Liberals Choose Present Member for Legislature— iConven- vention at Wingham--.Leader Sin- clair Sure There will be Election This Fall. '9Vingham, May 28.—C. A. Robert- son, member of the Legislature for the last three years, was nominated this afternoon to cox/tea the provin- cial constituency of North Huron in the lntereets of the 'abetted. d. pal ty at next election. C, u, r n t sn the n tel s was more or less a forme: h no other names beannt nr d at the annual meeting, of the: North Huron Liberal Association held le the town hall, W. E. N. Sinclair, E. Ctil. 1..:1. for South Ontario and provincial leader of: the Liberal party was the .chief speaker of the afternoon, being supported by Nelson Parlfaeaent, L` beral organizer,. an•i speaker of tilt Legislature under the Drury regime, Mr. Robertson in a soraew`.at. lens - thy spr•egh, gave an account of hi< stewartship in the ia..t three-ea?ions t of the 17th Legislature of Ontario. - (j One outstanding feature of the 1 meeting was the unshakable eonvite tion of Messrs, Sinclair and Perlin - meet that there will be a provine•ial ' election this fall. They have pickeo October the early part preferably, as the date, although they admit they i have not yet consulted Premier Fere : guson as to when the writs will be issued. They further admitted, in-' deed they were accused by Mr. Ro- bertson of having sot June as the date of the election, and having lain- entably failed in the guessing coni test. Undaunted, however, they con- fidently predicted that the electors; will be called to record their choices at the palls in October. "We have repeatedly asked Mr. Ferguson to do as Mr. King has done, and say whether or not there will be an election this year," said Mr. Sinclair. "And what has he done? He has .srniled. He has smiled tantalizingly. He is very good at smiling. Again, from this platform this afternoon, I challenge ?Ir. Fer- guson to say there will not be. There fore, it behoves us, as the Scriptures say, to be ye also ready." Another feature was the indica- tion of the line of attack to he fol- lowed by the Opposition during the forthcoming campaiign, whether it be this fail as, as Mr. Sinclair predicts, or in June, 1029, as The London Free Pres-, has so often asserted. ' Forsaking' the played -oat liquor issue , and the shop worn cry of higher tax-. es the liberals are to concentrate on the educational policy of the Govern- ment. Hon, Howard Ferguson was to -day, and will be criticized as min- ister of education, rather than as prime minister and chief admini:e- trator of the affairs of the province. To -day the first official reply to Mr. Ferguson's recent London peeeh came first from Mr. Robertson then seconded by his leerier, Mr. Sdnrlair. They criticized the plan ort shorten- ing the university term, and extend- ing the worts coverer] in the pnblie and high schools, as proposed by Mr.I Ferguson at the luncheon held in! conjunction with the annual meeting of Western Ontario Conservative Association in London. The ba is op- position was the allegation that such a scheme put in rt?ect would in- crease the burden of taxation an the municipali ties. HYDRO RATES. A third feature was Mr. Robert- son's Fenner/ring of private: owner- ship o' pus Ib' utilities, as e-xtmpli- fled 'in the greet hydro enterprise, the world's outstanding example of successful public ownership and op- eration of a public utility for the benemit of the greatest number of people. Mr. Robertson did not think that hydro rates were equitable, par- ticularly as they had been reduced after the American power trusts had invaded Bruce and Grey counties, "It would have been better had the Foshay company been left alone, so that the people could have cheap- er hydro," proclaimed Mr. Roheht- ann. His opposition to hycro was not repudiated by his chieftain in the provinri•d Hou:ee. Indeed this policy of the Liberal party, opposition to hydro. originated back in 1905, and has continued almost ever since be- coming intensified at the last session of the Legislature, when several div- ision: were railed by aleerale when hydro estimate; were under coneid- eration. When the meeting opened with a- bout 50 persons in the nail Chairman H. 11. Elliot, Wingham, asked the treasurer of the association to make his report, and A. A. Carr, Blyth, re- ported that the funds of the associa- tion were in good shape. Nomina- Hon,e were then r.alled for a candid- ate to contest the next provincial e•1- t•ction and 11. A. David -on moved, seconded by A. Campbell, that Mr. P,crbe r en :`. the rnndidate. There w•ae no rliscuseinn and :1:r. Robertson wos rhrtean. The member thanked the conven- tion. He: paid that. the Government bed not improved its position in the last three years, while the opposition had. Ile did not know if there was going to he an election, He did not ser any reason why there humid be, and rather thought that Mr, Sinclair and Mr. Parliament ware saying there would be order to keep the Beautiful Silverware as a (Modem ecesssty AND what better indication of taste and refinement than a service of celebrated COMMUNITY PLATE The Tableware De Luxe By reason of our complete stocks this store is fast becoming known as headquarters for this delight- ful war.

Mr. Robert- son said that the people were chafing under increased, taxation with no hope of relief from the Government. Ho mentioned Hydro and stud rural charges are' based on the town levies, with the result that rates not only were unfair but prohibitive in the country. In fact, he felt tuts applied also in the towns. Hydro would ne- ver be widely used in Huron County, because it was too dear for the ever - age person to consume. Ile doubted if the people were getting Hydro at cost, as the Government said they were, and in any case felt that the costs were figured unfairly, He mentioned the power war in *Walker- ton and Southampton and wondered how Hydro had suddenly reduced its rate, to meet private interets if the charges had been equitable before' as the hydro Commission had maim• tained, THE FOSHAY INTERESTS 71 would have been better if the Foshay people had been left there to show Hydro up" he declared. "Hy tiro is not all the blessing that we are told it is," Mr. Robertson referred to old age pensions and opposed the levying on the municipalities of 20 per cent, of the cost 'saying that in Huron Coun- ty thio would cost the citizens a very considerable sum of money. He complained that the provinne should have borne the whole 50 per cent. of the cost of pensions, after receivin.; 50 per cent. from the Federal Gov- ernment 1 nment, The members mentioned our good loads and objected berause he be llesed revenue from liquor sales was not being used for this purpose. At any rate, he felt more attention should be paid to market roads for the use of farinere than to provincial highways for the use or city motor- iete and tourists, ' Referring to educational matters, he said that the system at present in vogue in Ontario was the best in the world yet Mr. Ferguson without rood reason was going to scrap it. Ile referred to the proposal for the boards and doubted if the proposal would ever materialize because of what he called widespread opposition to it. Mr. Ferguson as a minister of education was a man of undoubted ability, hut had neglected the port- folio of education as it had never been neglected before, charged Mr. Robertson. He mentioned Mr. Feta guson's plan to cut one year off un- iversity work and put it on to the high schools, and also to add two years to public school work. He cri- ticized this plan because he said it would Cost more for improved equip- ment and better teachers. He sug- gested that instead of increasing the academic term, students should be taught agriculture and other "prac- tical" subjects. There already were too many in the profession, he said. Mr. Robertson concluded by saying he had been elected by what he de- scribed as "the best people in the province," i. e., the Liberals, Pro- gressives and temperance people. MR. SINCLAIR. Mr. Sinclair, in his opening re- marks referred to the possibility of an election this year, and said that it • had been the custom of Conservative governments to go to the people ev- ery three years, and the third session of the present Legislature had now been asked several times to say whe- ther or not there would be an elec- tion this year and had only laughed. Mr. Sinclair again challenged the prime minister to make some defin- ite statement in this respect. How- ever, in the meantime, full prepara- tions for a contest this fall should be made, he urged. He said the Con- servatives already were organized in all the ridings, and it behooved the opposition to become active also. Mr. Sinclair also referred to Mr. Ferguson's suggestion for a change in the educational system. The Min- i: -ter of Education had said that his change= would he a e eeping as those instituted by Dr, Ryerson. "Well remarked the Liberal lea- der, "considering who Egerton Ryer- son was., and considering who Mr. Ferguson is, I think the premier and the Minister of Education is kidding himself." Mr. Sinclair referred tae scheme. for establishment of township school boards and declared that the issue was dead and buried. He declared that in this instance the minister of education had not bad the courage of his convictions. If the idea had been right he should have shoved it through with his majority in the House. ; if it was wrong he should drop, and 1m bad done neither, The minister of education (Mr. Fergu- son) was unfit for the position, ciharged the Liberal leader. Mr, clair then dealt with. Mr, Perecuson's London speech, and repcate.d Rr. Ro- bertson's claim that the plan would increase the cost of education to the municipalities, Also, too many sub- jects would be added to the curricula of the public schools.

Several formal resolutions were passed by the meeting, two of them expressing confidence in Mr. Sin- clair and Premier King, Other criti- cized the Ferguson Government a- long the lines suggested by the spea- kers of the afternoon. They "view- ed with misgiving," etc., usual. The following resolutions were submitted by the committee and ad- opted : 1. That we express our confidence in our leader in Provincial affairs, Mr, W. E. N. Sinclair, K. C., and looked forward to the time, when he will be, not the leader of the op- position abut the leader of the gov- ernment, and put into effect policies along liberal and progressive lines for the advancement of our pro- vince, 2. That we view with misgiving, the financial record of the present Government of Ontario, the great in- crease in yearly expenditures and the growth of the provincial debt, notwithstanding the constant in- creases of taxation and the vastly greater revenue now accruing to the government, from such sources as the liquor business and the gasoline tax. 3. We would further express foul profound belief that the educational interests of our province are in ser- ious danger from lack of sympathy shown by Premier Ferguson as min- ister of education with the rural viewpoint and his insistence upon radical changes in the present school system which' appears to us imprac- ticable, but which would certainly entail greater burdens upon the tax- payers of our townships and towns. 4. That we place ,on record our sincere appreciation of the manner in which the affairs of our Dominion have been conducted by vne Right Hon. William Lyon MacKenzie King and his colleagues in the 'Federal Government, We would particularly ,express our gratification with the manner in which they have adminis- tered the public finances reducing from time to time the burdens of taxation, while at the same time realizing great reductions in the na- tional debt, and with the outstanding success which has attended the ef- forts of his government in improving the trade of the country, placing it in a very high position among the great commercial nations of the world. 5. We would also express our 00- preciatron of the capable manner in which our representative in Legis- lature, Mr. C. A. Robinson, has dis- charged his duties and we hereby in convention assembled assure him of our continued and undivided support in having him re -instated in the forthcoming election in the position of trust and responsibility which he has so ably filled. 9 The deepest salt mine in the world is said to be near Berlin Germany, and is 4175 feet deep.

It would reveal to a curious pdbllc what•many of the great buildings of London of the next ten years will look like. For the Office of Works there have jun t been completed models of the new gallery :o the Elgin marbles, and of the new gallery offered to the National Gal- lery by Su Joseph Duveeu. One model' in the Workshop, which Is In Gray's Inn road, took 6,000 hours to complete. It Is Old London Bridge, and every house on it can be Illumined. Similarly, a small model —the first stage of a large represent- ation still epresent-ationstill to be done—tells pictorially how London burned in 1666. One sees the city at sunrise, at sundown. by moonlight, and the start of the Ore at the Monument, until—on 'he third day — pitilessly travelling around, flames reached the top of St. Paul's.

Suddenly Mr. Thorp switched on a small electric motor, and in the cor- ner of the room there was revealed an illuminated tableau of a beautiful woman, more bewitching than w•ilell- like, burning at the stake.

Crying from Toy and Sorrow Not Such a Contradictory Paradox. The puzzling paradox of crying from joy and crying from sorrow Is not so contradictory,becausethe tears are due to mixed emotions. This is the conclusion of Dr. Frederick H. Lund of Bucknell University, and Dr. i H. V. Pike of Danville State Hospital of Pennsylvania, reported to the i American Psychological Association . of New York, The psychologist and doctor, who conducted an investigation of the ten- dency to weeping among mental and nervous patients, reported that nei- ther joy nor sorrow, defection nor elation in a pure form Is very effec- tive in causing tears. In mentally diseased cases, where emotions can he readily observed because they occur . in more pronounced form than in normal people, they found no cause of weeping in the midst of a depress- ed psychic state. Typically, crying occurs when a depressing situation gains a redeeming feature, or when tension and unpleasant sensations are replaced by alleviating circumstances, they found. Activity of the nervous sys'ems of the body during emotional states is such as would fit in with the psycho- logical condition of mixed emotions leading to tears, the investigation showed, 11iunlcenness Doubled, A survey by the Moderation League of the United Staves says that police records in 383 cities sllmv that ar- rests for intoxtration rose from 235,- 612 35;612 in 1920 to 567,369 in 1927, The fourth annual report of the league, which has for its aunounded aim "the restoration of temperance," declares that the Ileures have broutrht the organization to the conclusion that -the Vnlstead Act bas failed ut- terly to do what 1t was intended to do, namely, p1a111110 ten;per:glee lull snhrtety," Tables of total arrests by years In the 188 cites as compiled In the re- port Indicate a reline in arrests for 11101,111111054 beg[nni0 n 1914, when the figure stood at 30,307, to 2-36,612 in 1920, the year national p10111btio11 Went into effect, Teaching Chinese Laborers.
