tlttawa-.-Introduction on Monday
by lion. George P. Graham, Minister
a Railways and Canals, of a bill -to
give statutory authority to carry out
the freight rate policy outlined in the
Order in Council made public the
previous Friday evening, and' the fin-
al passage by the House of the meas.
tiro providing for a 85 per cent re-
imbursement by the Federal Govern-
ment of the Home Bank depositors,
were the outstanding events in Peri-
iament in the week just ended.
Equalization of Freight Rates
With the exception of three prairie
provinces there has already been ex-
pressed general approval throughout
the Dominion, of. the Federal Gov-
ernment's
overnment's proposed policy in regard
to railway freight rates. Its chief
aim is some approach to equalization
of rates and the removal of discrimin•
ation as between different sections of
the country. This feature of the poli-
cy is 'appealing particularly to the
Maritime Provinces, to certain parts
of Ontario and to British Columbia.:
As for the prairie provinces the poli-
cy proposes to retain the Crow's Nest
Pass Agreement insofar as grain and
flour 'eastbound rates are concerned
but to re -adjust the present fixed
westbound commodity rates. While
the Progressives in Parliament are
grateful for the assurance that the
grain and flour rates will he main-
tained, they declare that they should
get more consideration in return for
the abrogation of the westbound com-
modity rates. At the same .time,
while urging this' latter they are
somewhat fearful that they should
too vigorously oppose the proposed
policy Eastern members of the House
might move for the abolition of the
eastbound grain and flour rates as
well, and they feel that they might
he better advised to take a half loaf
rather than run chances of getting no
bread. The bill will come up next
week and then will be disclosed what
course the Progressives are to .pur-
sue.
Relief For Home Bank Sufferers
By a vote of 100 to 20 the Gov-
ernment measure to reimburse the
Home Bank depositors to the extent
of 35 per cent was passed by the
House. What fate the hill will meet
in the Senate remains to he seen.
There was an animated debate on
the subject in the House, most of the
Progressives andd Liberals supporting
it. The only oiTes being opposed were
some members who had nodsufferers
from the Home Bank collapse in their
ridings: A wide chorus of approval
of this mensln•e has cone from vari-
ous parts of the country, especially
from Ontario and the Western Prov-
inces where most of those who suf-
fered heavily from the failure of the
bank, live.
Providing For Growing Trade
There was a lively discussion over
the bill to advance further money by
way of loan to the Quebec Harbor
Board. The needs of that case were
eloquently argued by kion. Ernest
Lapointepwho is one of the repres-
entatives of that city in the House
mrd who was formeely Minister of
Marine and Fisheries. It was shown
that to deal fairly with the National
Transcontinental section of the Can-
adian National system, it was essent-
ial that the fullest terminal facilities
be afforded at Quebec to meet its
steadily expanding seaborne needs.
It is interesting to note that, in spite
of the strong opposition put up by
some of his followers in the House to
this measure Mr. Meighcn, leader of
the • Conservatives, was absent Yana
self from the House when the vote on
this bill was being recorded, '
Tragic Death of Sir William Petersen
On Friday a tragic event occurred
with the sudden passing of Sir Wil-
liam Petersen almost within an hour
after the report of Special Committee
on Control of Ocean Rates had been
read in ,phe House. . The Committee
asked Parliament to give SirMilliaun
a chance to demonstrate whatecon-
omies could be effected in the opera-
tion of his specially designed corruga-
ted -type ships, under conditions
which would protect him against un-
fair attack from the Steamship Com-
bine and pave the way for a general
lowering of rates. Sir William pass-
ed away under dramatic circumstanc-
es, after only twenty minutes' illness
from an attack of heart trouble. in
his tribute to Sir William the Prime
Minister on Friday evening stressed
the sincerity and courage of the moan
and the persistence with which he
sought to secure fruition of his efforts
to secure free and open competition
on the high seas whereby only could
the Candadian producer and consum-
er alike be given a square deal.
Another Combine Exposed
While its immediate interest was
only in the province of New Bruns-
wick the interim report tabled in the
House by Hon. James Murdock, Min-
ister of Labor, from Harry Hereford,
Registrar under the Act, of his in-
vestigation in New Brunswick into
the charges of the existence of a com-
bine in violation of the provisions of
the Combines Investigation Act, 1923
has also some interest for other parts
of the country. One reason is that
the contents of the finding establish-
es the existence of another combine
and demonstrates the effectiveness
of the legislation instituted by the
present Government two years apo.
The other combine unearthed by the
machinery of this legislation was that
of the Nash Syndicate which control-
led the fruit busines's of the Western
half of the Dominion. In the ease
of this latter, prosecutions have al-
ready begun. The recommendations
made by Mr. Hereford in the report
of his New Brunswick enquiry will,
if adopted, go far toward remedying
some of the ills of the potato busi-
ness in that province.
King -Pin of William R. Hearst Organization
Was Born in Brussels
The following article was especial-
ly written for the Stratford Beacon -
Herald by Philip Schuyler, of New
York and refers to a boy who was
born in Brussels and when quite
young moved with his family to Strat-
ford.—A former Stratford, Ontario,
newsboy has become virtually the
right hand of William Randolph
Hearst, the most powerful publisher
of newspapers America has ever
known.
His office is at 238 William street,
New York, an address about which
many a legend has grown, since it is
the home of Mr. Hearst's favorite of
his 24 daily newspapers, the New
York American. Through the Amer-
ican's editorial columns, Mr. Hearst
makes the leading moves of his con-
tinual political chess game.
And on the editorial masthead of
that newspaper reads the name Jos-
eph A. Moore, president, the man,
some of whose boyhood days were
agent carrying papers for the old
Stratford Beacon. Though not born
in Stratford, Mt. Moore was educated
there and it is still his mother's hone.
Now Mr, Moore is more than presi-
dent of this one newspaper of the
Hearst chain. He is known to be an
important contact man between Mr.
Hearst and the business of all his
vast publishing enterprises, newspap-
ers and magazines. Mr. Moore is a
man with conceded ability to turn red
into black on publication ledgers, a
genius of finance and d mono ement
,
who, on more than one oceasslon, has
assumed direction of a losing propos-
ition and made it pay, and pay well
"Mr. Hearst is : the genius," Mr.
Moore said to me. "I am but his in-
terpreter." a1
However that may be, none will
deny Mr. Moore has made himself a
powerful place in a powerful organ-
ization. He. said it was through the
trite way of hard work.
The same willingness towork and
work hard, marked the boyhood of
the New York American's president,
In Stratford, when 11 years old,
"Joe" Moore was peddling a Beacon
route. One day the circulation man-
ager
decided to^inake a drive to in-
crease the number of newspaper
readers.
He offered as a prize a gold watch'
to the boy who turned in the largest
number of new subscriptions within
a specified time, Young Moore was
close to the youngest of the Stratford
crew. All started out on equal foot-
ing. Moore however, plugged the
hardest—and won,
Characteristic beginning for the
man who to -day is known to assoel y
ates as a "hard plugger» Mr. Moore
makes up his mind Ise wants some-
thing and works until he gets it.
A notable instance of this driving
energy was shown when he first
joined the Hearst organization 11
years ago. At that time he held the
management and part interest in
People's Home Journal, a monthly
magazine, owned by F. M. Lupton
Company, N. Y.
Ability to recognize and pick out-
standing brains in the publishing field
and put them to work for himself is
a mark of the Hearst genius. Mr.
Hearst was watching then the gradu-
al progress upwards of the People's
Home Journal, compared with the
downward trend in those days of his
now prosperous Good Housekeeping.
Mr. Moore had never met Mr.
Hearst, and had no idea Mr. Hearst
knew of him.
Yet S. S. Carvalho, until 1918 gen-
eral manager of all Hearst ventures,
on Mr. Hearst's request sought out
Mr. Moore and made him an attrac-
tive offer to take over the manage-
ment of Good Housekeeping.
it was like the gold watch of boy-
hood days dangling before his eyes.
Mr. Moore could not refuse it.
Boosted Circulation.
Under Mr. Moore's direction, which
continues to -day in an advisory capa-
city, the circulation of Good House-
keeping jumped up almost immedi-
ately, from 250,000, until now it runs
about 1,300,000. He did it by
em-
ploying -
plo inbthebestwriters money could
interest and telling the country his
magazine had them.
When, the other day, I called on
Mr. Moore at the request of The
Stratford Beacon -Herald, I found
him to be the most modest of men.
He was very much averse, he told
me, to these "bunk" success stories,
He has a message to tell young men,
however, and through casual conver-
sation I drew it from him.
Although he will claim rules for
success bore him to distraction, it
was plain, as our conversation pro-
gressed, that Mr. Moore has followed
a carefully worked -out pattern Which
has led him upwards to his present
position.
This pattern provides the follow-
ing:
"Make a place for yourself and.
keep it.
"Plan results in advance and reach
thein,
"Work hard; don't expect some-
thing for nothing; and give always
the best you have, demanding what.
it is worth."
When he left the publicschools of
Stratford, Mr. Moore's first position
was as private secretary to John Lee
Mahin, who conducted an advertis-
ing agency in Chicago, In addition

to his willingness to work hard, the
secretary heel ideas worth working
hard on. It wasn't long before he be-
came general manager of the agency:
"Oh, I just talked Mr. Mahin into
giving me the job," Mr. Moore laugh-
ed in recalling those days.
At any rate Mr, Moore's ideas, the
innovation in advertising in those
days have become the standard prac-
tice of to -day.
It was from the Mahin connection
that Mr. Moore went to the People's
Home Journal, and eventually into
Hearst employ.
On Good Housekeeping, his exper-
iences would make a book as inter-
esting as "The Americanizing of Ed-
ward Bok," 'which telling of Mr.
Bok's editorship of the Ladies' Home
Journal, was so popular in the United
States a short time ago.
"I found there were certain things
that would interest women in magaz-
ine reading," he said. "And that
these certain thing boiled down to
two, I determined, tit fashions were
the chief means of making any wom-
an want to drop whatever she was
doing."
In talking of his Good Housekeep-
ing work, Mr. Moore for the first time
during the interview became enthus-
iastic. But he checked himself ab-
ruptly. He hates to talk spout him-
self, or of what he has done, or is do-
ing.
o-in "Really," he concluded, "Can't you
excuse me? I am less of a publicity
hound than anyone I know any-
where."

"SNAIL" DRIVER
\ IS DANGEROUS
Traffic Held Up By Man Who Pokes
Along -Regulations Are Needed—
Accidents Happen In Attempts To
Pass
The speeder is not the only danger-,
ous driver on the highways in 'this
district, according to complaints re-
ceived from motorists recently. The
latest nuisance has been term-
ed the "snailer." The "mailer" is a
driver, who through malice or
thoughtlessness, drives along a crowd-
ed highway at 10 or 12 miles ".an
hour.
While he is certainly not as great a
danger to himself as is the reckless
driver, he may prove just as danger-
ous to other drivers. When the high-
ways are crowded, especially on Sun-
days and holidays, the large majority
of drivers wish to hike,along at 20 to
25 miles an hour and long lines of
traffic are often held up by this
';plodding" motorist, who ofttime§ is
driving with one hand and using the
free one to encircle the waist of his
best girl.
The average driver does not feel
like meandering along at 10 miles an,
hour, with the result that every at.
tempt will be made to pass the
mailer." With heavy traffic in the
opposite direction, this is often dan-
gerous. Accidents.' and near -accid-
ents often result from this attempt to
get by the plodding driver who refus-
es to hurry his wheels.
The speed cop should not only
watch the speeder and the reckless
driver, but also the "mailer," moto•-

Don't tear up road surfaces by
immoderate driving
e
It's the back wheels of your car that push it along—
and it's resistance that keeps it moving—the resistance of
the road surface.
At moderate speeds, the surface remains in place. At
higlier speeds a portion of the surface is displaced by"
the friction of the wheels. The higher the speed, the
more material is displaced.
The speed limit exists in the law tosave the surfaces
of roads, as well as to prevent accident. Because the
highway is clear, you may think the law may be broken.
This is a mistake. There is always danger of damaging
the road by eiccessive speed.
The material which is displaced each year by auto-
mobiles driven too fast would weigh 'hundreds of tons.
The repair work made necessary costs ` thousands of
dollars.
The public of Ontario have spent $160,000 000 to
make roads easier and safer for you to travel on, The law
seeks to preserve from accident those who use the roads,
and to conserve the roads themselves. The Government •
requests the co-operation of yourself and every other
automobile driver in maintaining the condition of the
roads. Take pride in the highways of Ontario. You are
y yours. They are being main-
tainedt

'While the Government relies on the goodwill and co.
operation of the great majority of motorists, notice is
given that the enforcement of The Highways Act will be
all the more rigorous in the case of those who disregard
the law and this request.

BARON BYNG DECLINES
SECOND TERM
In the House of Commons recent-
ly, Prime Minister Icing, in reply-
ing to a question of the leader of the
Opposition, stated that Baron Byng
had decided not to accept a second
term as Governor General of Canada.
It is unde'retood that His Bxcellency'a
decision is based upon personal and
pri iatc• reasons. The announcement
of the decision will cause consider-
able regret throughout Canada, as
Baron Byng has made a capable,
tactful, and exceedingly popular
Governor-General. He came to Can-
ada with distinguished prestige as the
commander of the Canadian division
that captured the hitherto impregn-
able fortification of Vimy Ridge, one
of the most formidable of the Ger-
man redoubts on the Western front,
Apart, however, from any question
of sentiment, Baron Byng would.
have won his way in Canada because
of his personal qualities, He has
been thoroughly democratic in the
administration of his office, which is
n superlative qualification in these
crucial days when everything per-
taining to the old order has been
rudely tested. The people of Cen-
ada would have been highly pleased
to have welcomed Baron Byng for a
second term, but if he feels that he
cannot be any longer absent from his
affairs in the home land, they will
wish him well, and will deeply regret
his coming departure.
ANNUAL AGRICULTURAL STAT-
ISTICS OF CANADA,1925
It is announced by the Dominion
Bureau of Statistics ats.Qttawa that
the annual census of field crops and
live stock for 1925 will be made this
June. These. statistics are collected
jointly by the Dominion and Provin-
cial Governments by means of card-
board schedules isteeed to farmers
through the rural school teachers, and
children. In British Columbia they
are mailed direct to the farmers.
These schedules call for the acreage
sown this year to the principal field
crops and for the number of farm
animals alive on the farm in mid-
June. The areas thus collected tom
the basis of the annual statistics of
acreage and yield. It is very impor-
tant for all classes in Canada that
correct statistics of agricultural pro-
duction should be published but it is
especially so for farmers themselves
who through co-operative wheat pools
are now undertaking to market their
own wheat and other products; be-
cause accurate statistics are essential
to the fixing of fair prices. Any
farmer who has not received a blank
cardboard schedule through the rural
school of his school district or other-
wise by the middle of June should
make immediate application for same,
either to the teacher of the public
school district in which he resides, to
the Provincial Department of Agri-
culture at the capital of his province,
or to the Dominion Statistician at
Ottawa.
AFTER NINETY-SIX YEARS
For nearly a century the Christian
Guardian, of Toronto, the 'official
paper representing the Methodist
Church, has been published. In the
last issue Rev. Dr. Creighton, the.
editor, said: "The passing of the
Christian Guardian, after next issue,
because of the consummation of the
United Church of Canada, will give
a wrench to the feelings of very
d but then a will
of our readers, b w
many ,
just try to forget all about that.
What is the value of a great canoe if
we are not willing to make some sac-
rifices for it? And after all, sacri-
fices often yield very fine returris,
and we will just have to hope that it
will be so in this case. We are.sure
that it will be."
LIGHTS ON ALL VEHICLES
Every -County Council in Ontario
is now empowered to pass a bylaw
requiring that all vehicles carry lights
at night. Previous to the last ses-
sion of the legislature this power was
limited to cities and towns, where
with electrically lighted streets there
is no need for lights on automo-
biles or any other vehicles. It is in
the rural districts where the only
light at night is the .inconstant moon
that beacons are required, and they
should, therefore, not only be on mot='
or driven outfits but on buggies and
wagons,
