Srnog iu the luna'ic asylum should be reserved for the hairbrained fellow who set fire to buildings to see the excite meat. Puat.ro is waiting to see what will come out of the investigations of doubt• fol financing that bas been carried on iu this Province. CANADA has a "sweet tooth," judging by the fact that 700,000,000 pounds of sugar are consumed annually by its people. ONTAaio farmers are to be congratul- atedon crop prospects, With a lively market a good Fall trade should result. Business people will not object, UNCERTAINTY of geueral Elections is made manifest by the fact that all the party leaders fell by the wayside in the recent British Columbia contest, GET ready for school re -opening Tuesday. Sep'ember zed, Pupils should be on band for the formation of classes and get squared away for a good term's work. I•r's a pity that Brother King and Brother Meighen do not harmonize in the tune they are singing. The latter should drop his dirge and touch a more jubilant note. DAILY motor accident is recorded with great accuracy and a lot of people ap- pear to take it just as a matter of course. 9 out of to accidents are caused by too much gas or a boozer at the wheel. CANADA'S Wembley Exhibition is on at Toronto and will no doubt sustain its great record for crowds and program. The agricultural side of the Fair scarce- ly looms up in the same prominence as in the bygones excepting in live stock. WHY should not the restaurant in the Dominion Parliament building at Ot• tawa be self sustaining? $7.000 ap• pears in the supplementary estimate to assist in its maintenance. Surely the M. P.'s and officials are receiving suf- ficient compensation to put the restaur- ant out of the free soup kitchen class. CANADIAN Senate is autocratic be- cause they know the electors cannot oust thein from their job. An elective Senate for a term of years would curb this aristocracy and put a body of men in this Chamber who would be more in touch with the people. Some say elec- tions would throw the Senate into poli- ties. Wonder if the present appoint- ments are not about as straight politics as can be found. ONCE more the Powers in Conference are shaking hands with one another but at the sante time this is going on im- mense sums of money are being spent in construction of guns, war ships, aero- planes, &c. Somebody is practising de- ceit or they have so little confidence in one another that in time of Peace they are preparing for war. China is staging their annual scrap but as it is usually confined to within its own borders out. sitters are asked to keep out, THURSDAY. October z3rd, is the date set for Voting on the Ontario Plebiscite. It is a much more important event than some folk think, as on the verdict on that date will hinge legislation that will either restore booze and the bar or lead to continuance of the 0. T. A. with Dec- essary improvements pointing to total Prohibition, It is up to churches and homes of tbs land to carefully and con- sistently do their duty so that they will not be chargeable with neglecting a great opportunity to defeat the spread of the curse of grog, FOR many years there was a dearth of school teachers and difficulty was ex- perienced in some quarters to keep schools open but the scene bas shifted and toddy there appears to be a surplus of pedagogues, with the chances that all will not get schools this Fall. One reason for the extra supply is accounted for in the feat that salaries boosted dur- ing the period when teachers were scarce and consequently a cumber of those who purposed dropping out con- tinued but in case of a slump in pay they would probably change their oc- cupation or attend school in pursuit of higher standing. WinnipegVet i en Bowler' Honore!' 'by Glob b J, R. GRANT Mt, Grant, one of the veteran lawn bo,vle's of Winnipeg, celebrated his 81st birthday on Sat„rday on the greens of the Aseiniboine Lawn tBowl- ing I ins Club, During the play Club the members "gathered round" and Matt Rogers made an address of congratu- lation to Mr, Grant on behalf of the Club. Mr, Grant livee at 96 Howe at., and while he spend; his Winters in California, he returns to Winnipeg for the Summer, where he thoroughly en- joys his daily lawn bowling. The above is from a Winnipeg Daily and refers to a former well known Bros - THE Safe Drivers' Club is a new or- ganization rendered necessary by the large number of crazy Ikes who handle I a the steering wheel of many y automobiles and s,ep on the gas at 50 miles an hour Deily record of car accidents is the proof of the necessity for safe driving and also to have the address of the nearest asylum. BOOTLEGGING Drug Bootlegging in Montreal has grown to be such a menace to public morale and the sanity and life of the citizens, a "Bowies Gallery" of drug bootleggers and drug slaves, has been y instituted. Ever man and woman u arrested for selling or for having nar- cotic drugs in his of her possession is photographed. A 20 year sentence was passed on a drug bootlegger who sold a fatal dose of morphine to a lad. A young wo- man was Bent to prison for 5 years for injecting heroin into the arta of a boy who died from the effects of it. WHY NOT FORM A DOPE MODERATION LEAGUE '!'here are drug manufacturers, mid- dlemen and sellers and users -ail in- terested in the traffic. They could baud together and raise the cry that Prohibition is not prohibiting, there- fore it should be abandoned in favor of Government sale, Drug permits e old then be issued, just as liquor permite are in British Columbia. where many thousands of citizens have purchased the right to be Dis- pensary customers ; —and where sales have increased over 5,000 per cent since Prohibition was abandoned, "ALIEN BOOTLEGGERS" Our Ontario Moderation League could give pointers to the United States Government on their Immigra- tion Act. There were no Alien Boot- leggers until that Act was paseed. Why ? Because there was no profit in smug- gling Italians and Poles and Russians, etc. into United States territory, until their entry was forbidden, Then it became a mine of wealth to the "Scafflaws." And so great is the profit in Alien Smuggling, that New York Prohibi- tion Agents tell us many of the Rum Row steamships have abandoned li- yittot' Bootlegging in. fagot' o Mien HHoolloggi ug, Then why not repeal the ltntuigra•.
