A band of Mexican gypsies, who at. tempted to camp on the outskirts of the town were ordered to move on by Police Chief Cullen, who considered them un desirable neighbors. They were quite up to date, having five automobiles instead of the horses and vans usually to be found with these wandering hands. The police chief is closely watching for suspects in connection with the recent robberies at Hensell and Centralia. Word has been received here of the death of ex Mayor A. H.

There are now four parties. If there is a general election there will be TWO PARTIES 1N QUE- BEC fighting it out as to which is the more disloyal, and two parties through- out THE REST OF CANADA seeking to impress upon the public which is the more loyal. 1 The feature of debate in the House of Commons on the conscription issue was the powerful speech of Mr. Frank B, Carvell, one of the leading Liberals of the House, in favor of the bill. Mr. Carvell has been a tlforn in the side of the Conservatives because of his fear- less exposure of improper practices, in war contracts, but he showed him- self to be a sterling patriot and elicit- ed applause from both sides cif the House, It has taken the conscription issue to bring out the read stuff some of our public men are made of, Admiral von Tirpitz has got diabetes.

Few countries have . produced a more picturesque figure than Sir John,A, Macdonald, I6ven if he was not peculiarly the Father of Centel- oration, he was ite chief ' architect. Ho was a master of tact,• and as a political craftsman, the Dominion has never seen ; jets steeper, He was a man whio inspired great per- sonal devotion, purring the affections and quickening the imaginations of his followers, The •members of his party served him because thy loved him, and he is heeled to become a tradition in Canada, because, as a- Feeneh writer has said, "no power is equal to personal charm." Sir George E. Cartier, who was . the chief representative from Que- bee in the historic group, is perhaps hardly as well known to his country - mon as he deserves to be. Cartier did splendid work 'for confederation in overcoming very 'formidable influ- ences in Quebec. Triose who can re- member him say that he was not an impressive personality and had no magnetism, but he liossesed optim- ism, self-confidence and Power in debate. As one Canadian historian has said, "Cartier was at once the perfect incarnation of French nation- ality and a devoted adherent of the British connection; a Boman Ca- tholic entirely trusted by the domin- ant priesthood of Quebec and one of the most loyal subjects of a Protest- , —�-- ant crown."

' This is one of the conclusions reach• ed by Mrs. Margaret Hyslop, Organiz- ing Secretary of the Ontario Women's Liberal Association, who in the past two months has visited a large num- ber of places and come in touch with women in various localities. Mrs. Hyslop has fount real interest in pub- lic affairs in cities, towns and villages alike, In .leer opinion the principal thing that woolen want and are asking for to -day is information in regard to public issues. Even before the grant- ing or the traneltise many woolen kept themselves in, touch with devel- opments; others did not. But at any rate all women to -day are naturally more closely interested in the govern- ment or the country than they ever were before, because now they are 00 longer outsiders but are voters the sous as men. bars. Hyslop anteei- pates, from her observations or the last two months, that the lutereo,. e. W0111011 will largely revolve around is• sues affecting the home the ;arm at,U the factories and places of business where women work, In other words their interest will be at very human one defined in terms of people rather than Property, Mrs. Hyslop• has been greatly im- pressed by the high typo of women wllo are associating themselves to- gether in Women's Liberal study public problems. She is also. strdalc with the democracy of these organizations and the fact that their membership is taken from Wonnetl or varying interests and occupations. There are now twelve clubs afflict ed with the Ontario Women's Liberal Association, of which eight have been formed in the last few weeps. These new once include Owen Sound, Grtu:ts- by, St (iuthariues, Niagara -on -the. Lake, iagara-ol tlne- Lako, Winghem, St, Marys, Mitchell and London. in addition tae those are 111e 01165 already in existence at 'I'o- eonto, Hamilton, Wiartoe and Bramp- ton. inks, The main topics Air. Carter is discussing these days (apart from the direct war situation on which he feels very 'keenly) are the need of greater vision in the public life of the coun- try, the baneful influence of the •pat - renege evil, wltieh he believes has dulled and lowered the level of poli- tics and public life, the necessity for an ever-increasing measure of actual public control of affairs and the recent encouragements in thus field of dense: - racy. Among these he includes (1) the extension of the franchise to wo- men, \v •1 1l.' the population, lieu nue na were Y • formed exdluded• (2) the vic- tory of the Ontario Opposition in forc- ing the Government to tax the Inter- national Nickel Company more strin- gently, with the result that in the years 1616. and 1917 the 'Provincial Treasurer will he enriched by oneand a hall: million, which it otherwise would not have received, thereby re- lieving the people of that expense if, the revenue is properly administered; and` (3) the further victory of the. On- tario Opposition in the agitation for the suppression of race track gam- bling during the war, because this ac- tion removes the inequality fonnerly existing between rich and poor before the law. The warm weather does not seem to affect Mr. Carter's vitality or vigor and in those addresses he has been the same old whirlwind of excitement and enthusiasm. i SAM CARTER LIVES US LIFE A STRENUO 11 is not only tiering the session of the legislature that Samuel Carter, M.P.P., maintains his unflagging activ- ity, During tho rest of the year else be is constantly engaged in Horne sort, eollti s Of public wont addressing m g tinder many atisplees.

He was bold and confident, and he never knew the call to re treat. Sir John Willison, one of his strongest opponents during his life- time, wrote this of him after his death, "He challenges posterity very much as he challenged his foes while he lived, There is no greater figure among the Conservative statesmen c es of Canada nor any whose sacrifices and services were of greater value he );mire. History to Canada and t P will out blemishes in and find P the public career of SIr Charles Tupper, but he gave the state pleenf- cal vigor, intellectual power and con- structive energy. As for the rest, 'his greatness, not his littleness, con- cerns mankind.' " D'Arcy McGee will be remembered as the orator of Confederation. There was fervor and beauty in his utterances on the movement that ap- pealed to the imagination of all Ca- nadians. ' In all the literature on the subject, for example, there is no finer sentence than that in which he de- clared that by union with the Mari- time Provinces, Old Canada should "recover one of our lost senses—the sense that comprehends the sea." In sketching the figures of these men whose names aro household words in Canada, it is not forgotten that there were others whose aid was important in the task of bring- ing into life the young nation. There were many lesser names on the list of those who attended the conven- tions. Then it will have to be re- membered that there were multi- tudes of men, of little distinction Perhaps, but of equal zeal who work- ed for the caus,o of confederation in all parts of Canada, They develop -d, ed the feeling among the citizens of [011 FOOi HOES Our stock 01 Fleet Foot Shoes is now at its best and con- ists of lines suitable for each member of the fancily, We have jretty Jftile strlrp slippers for the wee°tots.
