Even a dictator may sometimes have to use diplomacy and qualify his valor with discretion. A writer says mien ' are greater gossips than women. In the olden days women did not have the entree into the livery stables and cobblers shops where local gossip was retail- ed and affairs of state discussed. These institutions have gone or have ceased to serve. Where now are the men's schools for scandal? In other Words, how do they get that way? Hon. Chas. Murphy asserted in the Senate that that body had saved this country $103,000,000, mainly by rejecting railway -bilis that had pas- sed the Rouse of Commons. He indi- cated the railways that were pro- jected and their very names carry with them approval of the Senate's' action. If in those mad days Can- ada had been governed by a Senate only, this eountry would be half -a- billion dollars better off than !t is, but there would be no Senate today.

But snore significant is the change of name from "Prohibition Union to "Temperance Union" made recently by that organization. It is official recognition that the revolt against prohibition, in the United States as well as Canada, cannot be withstood. It is good strategy to retire to lines that can be more easily defended and from which occasional sorties can be made. We won't legalize Canadian sweep- stakes, but if a Canadian takes Chan- ces on the Irish Sweepstakes and wins, we make it legal far someone who has taken no chances at all to inform and get the money, The win- ner gets over this difficulty by hav- ing a near relative lay the informa- tion and issue a writ, but he is out of luck if he does not take action a- gainst himself in time.

It is all very well to suggest that a bank director should not be al- lowed to borrow from the bank of which he is a director but what are people likely to think of the bank when they hear that even it's own directors do (business with' some oth- er bank. A theatrical critic declares that most of the historical plays now pre- sented en the screen are a perversion of history. That's what comes of following the text -books too closely. --_-,--a, iA banker should never 'ask one good customer to endorse another's paper.

WHAT` OTHER NEWSPAPERS ARE SAYING PROVE IT A recent bridge article states that a bridge foursome could play 24 hands every day for a period of 6,123,828,- 480,455,803,565,917 years, and never have; the same distribution of cards.

They apparently feel now that the Gov- ernment has taken over a stretch south of Goderich, they are entitled to consideration. Highway No. 4 should be finished first. —Wanghant Advance -Times. WHAT IS THE USE? - Fate is a strange thing. This fact was borne out at the jitney held at the curling rinlc on Friday evening. The prizes were 5 gallon tins of oil donated through the generosity of William Riggin, local representative of the Imperial 011 Company. The winners, five in number, were without cars, excepting Dr. J. G. McLeod. The question now is what the others are going to do with the oil. Earl Avery and his son have even a more difficult problem than the other non oar own- ers, as the Avery family has ten gal- lons of the fluid. ' --Kincardine Review -Reporter. GIVE 'EM SOMETHING BETTER - In this week's Saturday Evening Post appears a cartoon depicting crowds thronging the entrance of a theatre showing "Little Women," while in the foreground a fat por- poise -like movie magnate exclaims in holy horror "It's against human nature!" But is it? We have long held to the idea that the reason that people flock to the theatre to see the President Roosevelt vetoed con- sexual tripe that is dished up so pro- gressional plans to increase veteran fusely is just that the producers do allowances and federal workers pay not give them anything better. The and the Senate and the House of Re- presentatives override his veto by large majorities.
