SEAFORTH, FRIDAY JANUARY 1,1915
• —.—.--
Toronto, 'December 29t110 1914.
Toronto Inas been in, 4.the throes ,of -a
;somewhat heated Munkipai election for
the past two weeks. The principal in-
terest, of course, eentres artitind the
election for 'Mayor. It was hoped bY
eniany ;that Mayor Hocked 'Would stand
for ,another term, and he prebably
pallid have done so could he have been
elected by acclamation.. But there were
other n,spirants who could not 'be side
tracked and consequently the present
1•
(Onto declined to enter 'the arena, to
the rites of the city, as Mr. Hocken
made a good Mayor. The two, asspirs
as 'are J, O. McCarthy and Tommie,
Church,. They make A ;well matched
team. They heve ;both been Aidermen
and 'mernbees of the Board Of Control.
They are both "joiners" and belong
to nearly' every secret society of any
importance in the eity rand they- ate
both hail rename well met and. ;good
,oanvensers. eno it is hard to predict
'on which side ,the.rickie jade may cast
her smiles's= election day. There are
many 'better men fen the city for the
position than either of thern. But good
men will not 'submit .. to the annual
harrowing A candidate has •US be sub-
jected to or the ,srtke of the honors
and emoluments attaching to the po.
anion. As a result it is not tnfrequente
ly mediocrity that comas Ito the front.
Mr. McCarthy is A Liberal in politic
and Mr, Church A Crmservative. But
there is ane thing we cam say snout
Toronto, As every person knows, To-
ronto 1,s overwhelmingly and hopelesely
Tory. ;It 'used to ibe a isaying that Bir
Wilfred L a urier alwa ys drew ' the big
crowds to Isis meetings but SirRobert
Borden drew the voters on election day,
But despite this peculiarity of the city,
while in the event of a Grit aind it
Tory running for any Municipal. posi-
tion, 'there may ,be A 'silent unner-cur-
rent or politics agitating the watera
the hydro headed monster rarely ilares
ehow hie head above the ,surface of
the stream. It not ,unfrequently occelre
that ca Tory paper will eupport a Grit
In preference to a norss latnd vice vetsa.
So that under these circumstaneee our
Municipal elections Are not po bitterly
conductedsas they otherwise would be
and ;the city gets better Orunicipai ser-
vice.

The .German 'scare at Toronto Univer-
say' has out subsided. At least w.e
do snot hear much 'about it now. Two
of the objectionable Professor have
been disposed or and the third, Pro-
fessor Mueller, has made_ application
for Naturanzatioo. Oils tapplication hoe
not yet been ;granted, but it Likely will
be. ;Tne appilontion was opposed before
the „rage and Prefeesor Mueller was
examined.. Be ,eaid he had no &sirs!
to see the British ;defeated, „that he iS
definitely and determinedly opposed to
war and in his -opinion it would be an
unfortunate 'thing even for Germ,eny
waif an ;for the whole world. should
Kaleerism prevail in the present str
He said the reason he had not
applied for Naturalization papers sooner
was that he was (not sure of remain-
ing ireCeineda,He Is an ordained Clergy-
rran of ethe Luthesean Church. He came
from Germany to the United 'States
eome twewe ;years ego to take A oiosi-
Um! in one of the Univereitleo there,
Later on he :was induced Ito come to
Canada and became the pastor ef .a
email congregation in this country.
While thus engaged, be was offered
and accepted n Professorship in 'Toron-
to University. But has recently had
offers ,of pastorat work in the Uni-
ted States and had 'some idea of ac-
cepting 'that ;es he prefers it in some
.respects to his University wells. Ele
statement made on oath should cer-
tainiy, satisfy any reasonable person
In iso tar ae ,he Is concerned. It is
probable the trouble occured largely on
-account of some indiscreet statements
made 'by the Professor in la controversy
In Which he became invowed labolit the
;time (the war broke out. So it le ,not
likely we will hear much more about
the German Proresceonship business at
the triversity, But it Is probable that
the whole conduct of the sUniversity
will receive an ;airing innthe Legisla-
ture during the next Ise...ninon'. .

Two Million lettere, post cards and
parcess were tsbrted by the Post-efficc
otAff and delivered between Wednesday
and midnight Christmas Eve. General
Superintendent Roes 'stated -that dur-
ing his forty 'years of eervice thi3 was

Christmas time. Beside the mail from
Canada; and the United States there
were also 600 sacks received them

Christmas passed off very quietly in
-Toronto and (nothing of .1a, serious na-
•'ture took place. The police 'report that
their ;services were very little in de-
mand, and ovIth the exception' of at-
tending to a few cases of frost bite,
anbutance 'work was of little- consequ-
ence. Even the number .of `-kirunk.s" ar-
rested was, below the average, which
fact -may be - ittributed to the clos-
ing of ,an botel ,bare. Inspector 'Geddes
!states that Christmas Day ;was one of
the quietest he ever remembered, and
added :,thet the cosine of the hotel
bare on All holidays 'would have a good
moral effect upon the city. If the clos-
ing of bars on- holidays would ;have a
gtod morao effect, ;would not the clos-
ing of them on every day tape a -Much
better moral effect')
- Greater recognition was given the oe-
ngioue aspect of the Christmas festive',
in Toronto than has beenthe clestom
for many ye,ais. Sanitig seivices were
heed in most of the churches and large
congregetions attended, especially at
the Anglican neon. Roman Catholic
Churches. For the first time for over
a decade High Mess was sung in ail
the Catholic Churches in the city with
the exception of St. illichrters Cathedral
et •midnight, and every edifice as
crowded • with worshippers and hun-
dreds were unable to ge.in admissions
The theme of the majority of preachers
was "Peace On Earth And Qood Whl
`Toward Men,", and they exhorted their
hearers to pay ea:meetly that peace
might soon be restored to tie word
and that the whole human family might
be united in the bonds of brotherhood.

amount, it is estimated, to from twelve:
to fifteen per cent. The reduction varies
from ten all the way up to twenty -

stated. The effect of these reductions

The sudden !death -Of Illebert Jaffrey
creates still another Ontario vacancy
In the Canadian' Senate, bringing the
toter up to elx. Five were men closely
identified with Ontario Liberalism, the
list being Sir Geo. Ross, former orentier
of Ontarle, the Honorable William Gib-
son 'of Beamsville, the Honorable Geo.
A. ;Cox of IToronto, sand 'the Honorable
Robert Jaffmy of Toronto. The Bonet-
suble • Donald • (McMillan of Alexandria,
wbose .newth occured some 'weeks ego,
and ,Hononable Senator Kiekhoffer
Brandon, who has since departed, were
both Conservatives, and ini .this case:
the filling of the vacancy ...makes no
change in ;the political complexion of
the eel -tete. The five Liberals, however,
will be replaced by As merry Conner -
valves sand the Liberal power 'in. the
upper house will be reduced pr000rs
tionately. There is much speculatioh In
the province as to who the six new
senators from „Ontario liwill be, but nbc
Ontario ministers, whoewill decide the
• selections, are maintaining an oyster -
like secrecy-. There are, of &melee, a
large number of good Ontario Tories
who consider themselves peculiarly well
qtialifien to fill these 'tvacancies, • but
any (guess As to the six winners in
ethe f -ace is 'As rood as Another. ?Much
depends upon the proba)bilitlee of A
general election, it beteg the habit of
governments to- utilise isenatorships in
the house-cleaning oend •partial party
reorganization which usually proceeds
a general election. The position: Of Sen.
ator is about one of the rrost com-
fortable And most desirable In the gift
of the igoveriarnent. It is 8, sinecure for
