EDITORIALS A MEAN WAY TO ARGUE Premier Hepburn delivered) an ad- dress in his. own bailiwlick when he oast with 200 farmers and business men in St, Thomas at a presenta- tion banquet to the county warden. He haat been in New York recently and came back witch the information that Americans were beginning to )auger at the manner in which Can- .adians were participating in the war preparations. (Whether Mg, Hepburn Informed them there are already 1,000 -Canadians in the Royal Air Pone at the front is not mentioned.) It comes with rather poor taste from the Premier of tills ,province to say that pe0P1e in United States are laughing at our war efforts. If Mr, Hepburn were to make the rounds of all the cities and towns in Ontario he would find much going on. He might find, if he looked or inquired that ,rooms were drilling and training, that Plenty of young men are upending many evenings through the week studying military matters and receiving instruction in officers' training courses, for which they receive not one red cent in the way of pay. Nor have we noticed anything in United States papers which would ie•atil one to suspect, let alone be- lieve, that there •was any tendency or inclination across the line to laugh or faintly smile at that which' this young country. Is seeking to do. Podsi'bly when Premier Hepburn travels he calls, on the wrong parties When he was through discussing the matter of .how and when Canada was seeking to hide behind the United Statex Eagle Mr. Hepburn turned to the ,matter of municipal- ities not 'having any more elections atter 1940 That one will have to do until the war is over. He is quoted as having said; "I think the saving .that will be affected and the ,benefits that will result will overshadow what the newspapers may lose in election ad vertising and Printing." The Premier had something more to say about Toronto where, if a person wanted to run tor municipal office he virtually had to get the ap- proval of one of the two afternoon - Papers and subscribe to so much advertising and a card of. thanks when it was over. The reason for that form .o.f m'iti Clem is that the papers of the prov- ince with one or two exceptions bare not agreed that Mr. Hepburn I has any business to meddle in the affairs of municipal voting. In order to bolster his case he takes ,occasion to reply by stating that newspapers fear they are going to lose revenue by not securing advertising from municipal elections, The Post hopes for the sake of the high office the man holds that his ----- r:;aaarrk-ng and argument are general- ly baaed en a higher lebel, in case he is entirely ignorant on the matte) we can tell him that the amount of 'revenue the ate1agc 'newspaper z-{ citta Prean a municipal election is very small, As a rule it conaista f an election card' and a. Photo• f,ph occupying a feat/ Inches ,of I3paoe. As a revenue producer the municiipal election is really not much ,of a success, The ensa..-.: in the Post OtIlee Is to give a statement regarding each candidate, and that Statement le complete regardless' of whether the candidate decides to place a card in the paper or not. It has been done that way for years and manly other papers follow th,e same plan. !Mr. Hepburn's reference to the Te nanto situation was hedged about by that phrase "it is said)" and at befit tht is weak deference for one to whom we pre entitled to look for guidance in plain and honorable speaking, Toronto paper's' can Prob- ably Look alter themselves but the, Premier of the Province has charg- ed that a man seeking municipal' office there must first consult the new:paper and make his bargain. He must agree to spend so much money in advertising and wind up with an appropriation fo ra card .of thanks•, Then he can hope for the 'support of the newspaper. We dig not believe Mr, Hepburn would appreciate it in the least if it were stated that one applying for a position with the Hepburn govern t melnt had first of all to interview the manager of the campaign fund and arrange a satlslactory contri- bution, alter which his case would be favorably considered, And yet that is exactly the way in which he states the oase with regard to news papers and election advertising. We suspect the truth is that Mr Hepburn has found such scant sup - nowt for his latesit effort to have the province thoroughly dominatethe municipalities that he is hard press- ed for honorable argument to sup- port his case. He has done some- thing which is not in the least creditable; he has given an entire- ly false view of the situation and in- dulged in a Dorm of mean statement to wlvtch we had not anticipated he would stoop. A gentleman under similar circumstances would offer an apology, SHOULD SAVE MONEY! Premier Heuburn announced In Toronto he ins going to put his foot down, .on relief for those who work part-time for the city, He is reported as saying: "A man is lucky these days to make $940 a year and; he should be able to save." Taking 52 weeks in the year such a man would have $18 per week, EW -flx las • ri t NUNSKID STOPS!

AT CFRB and out of that he should be able to keep uip a home in Toronto and save some money. We 'have known a number of young men who have gone to To- ronto, and they have never made much money alt the start, Their experience is that by the time they pay for their room and meals, laundry, mending; street car fare and so on, and keep themselves clothed they spend about 515 per week. And they have not been washing much can either. Toronto- is not an inexpensive place in which to live; in fact no city comes within that classifica- tion, A married man with faimIly responsibilities on $18 per )week in Toronto would have a continuous struggle, and telling such a person that he is. lucky and should be able to have money is getting dangerous- ly close to the nonsense class, CENSORING. THE NEWSPAPERS There is a censorship bureau at Ottawa which In war time a very necessary and important function of government, whether Canadians like it or not, But however much we in Canada may diIslike the loss of personal lib- erty lvhich the censor imposes, we are all well aware of the tact that newspaper ' cgmranent in Canada. might easily provide very enlighten- ing information to the enemy as well as to ourselves, unless it is placed raider home manner of cen- tral control, All newspapers, large and small, including The Post, receive very itopltoit instructions from time to time front the censor at Ottawa, as to. what may be published and what may not. We are supposed to be all on the same footing, but ap- parently we are not, This tact iia' been pointed out in a recent editorial in the London Free Press, Last week the Royal. Cnuadieu Regiment which _ has its headquarters in London, and is largely recruited from points. in Western Ontario, was moved to new training quarters, Ordinarily that would be an item of very great interest •10 a great many .people iu this part of the Pro- vince, but in accordance with . in- structions• from the censor, the Free Preens slid not publish any news of the regiment's departure, and made no camuneot about it either. But the Toronto papers, apparent- ly, are a law unto themselves, These papers' not only published a full ac- count of the troops movement, but published a great many pictures as Well.. If it is wrong to da these things in London, it should be wrong to do them in Toronto .ag well, and we think the Free Press is absolute- ly justified in tete statement with which it concludes its editorial: i'However, if there are to the rules, they should be enforced impartially and mltheut fear or favor."
