PARLIAMENTARY LETTER A little over a month away the session with its busy days and nights, looms ahead and the capital has an increase of activity as a result. De- partment heads have prepared or are preparing their estimates for the com- ing fiscal year and are abbout to sub- mit those estimates to Cabinet Coun- cil where they, no doubt, will undergo vigorous pruning before being passed along to Parliament. Consideration of the Sessional pro- gramme will keep Premier King and his Ministers busy during the next few weeks, and it is the intention to have things well in hand for the members to start work as soon as Parliament opens. • 6 4 Following its precendent of last session, when the new government sprung a surprise on Parliament by bringing down the Auditor General's report on the first business day, it is expected that this important docu- ment will be placed on the table very shortly after the House meets. Ord- ers to be prepared for this went forth some time ago and the Report is ex- pected to be ready for presentation at almost any time required after Janu- ary first. Members of Parliment and other people who have visited Ottawt during recent weeks have commented favor- ably upon the increasing feeling of confidence, shown by the people in all parts of the Dominion, in the King Government. Canadians of everyryclass are realizingmore and more what Liberal Government means as they see renewed efforts on the part of Premier King and his col- leagues to do what is best for all parts of the country. Business men share in the prevailing optimism and as a result a much better feeling is growing as the people find the gov- ernment bending its efforts to secure wider markets abroad and better con- ditions at home. Fewer irksome laws are being laid down to interfere with the people's freedom than during the regime of the preceeding government and the whole country benefits by the change. Instead of the National Debt being increased every day by the addition of new expenditures to meet the whims or desires of any man or group of men in the country, there is a constant though gradual de- crease of expenditures in the effort to get Canada back again to a firm footing. Unnecessary spending has been stopped, and the revenue has been increased beyond even what was anticipated. There are, of course, many very heavy charges to be met from month to month and these serve to keep the whole net debt up to its present huge proportions. Interest charges on such matters, ,for instance, as Railway commitments made by the former government must be met, and such expenditures as these make the task of the present government hard- er. But despite these huge enforced expenditures, which must be met, there is a continued improvement in Canada's position both at home and abroad, and it is this which is foster- ing the return of confidence in the Dominion and its government, w x a That the people to -day had full control of the Government of Canada was made abundantly plain by the Prime Minister in the course of sev- eral of his recent declarations. In answering critics of the Government on such matters as the Near East crisis, Rt. Hon. Mr. King declared that it was and would be the policy of his Government to consider the people's wishes in all matters which came before it. No one man nor group of men should have the right, for instance, to plunge a nation into war on his or their own initiative, the Prime Minister asserted. The function of the Government in such a case; he believed, was to place all the facts before the people's repre- sentatives in Parliament, and let them decide and then carry out the wishes, of .Parliament. Only in that way could the ideal of Government of and by the people be realized and to depart from that would be to give up one of the greatest British tradi- tions. m * * Canada's invitation to desirable immigrants to make their homes here is Iikely to lead to a considerable in- flux of good settlers within the com- ing immigration season, according to reports reaching Canada from var- ious sources. From the United States will come many good farmers who look to this country as one -where they can make a start under more favorable conditions than those which prevail 'where they are now located. "Many, many of .these men have' been artuifig' for many years on high - lends in the middle Western States and have been .trying in vain to show some prdgress under their tremendouelf -heavy overhead costs. The class of fauna;s who occupy rented hiring `eflidaii the border ' are' being attracted in large.numbers by the Government's plat' tif `putting em in tenet with' men in Canada iy .6 wish to, Yenta 4anise: And man glee bete, pat int ahead fqr ;illl? ilt 4llte kompsehenahre laid OVA b the Government the Demiuion look for a- great in., dNx dtixing t coming year and also fo} ebgaiging ot'the emigration of de- sirable men and women from Can- ada to other countries. This baa been one of the great problems in past years bat with a careful effort on the part of the Government to improve conditions at home and also to provide wider foreign markets, there is less tend- ency to -day on the 'part of Canadians to get away from Canada than for many years past EXETER Death of W. R. Southcott. - The death occurred on Thursday of last week of William Russell Southcott, brother of J. M. Southcott, editor of The Exeter Times. He had been a sufferer for many years and quite recently was removed to the hospital in London where his death occurred in his 40th year. He is survived by his mother, four brothers and one sister.

The bride was given in marriage by her father and the Lohengrfn's wedding march was played by Miss Verda Procter, sister of the groom. The only at- tendant was little, Marie Hopper,:niece of the bride, who made a winsome little flower girl and ring bearer. The bride was dressed in canna canton crepe with cape and trimmings of radium lace and corsage bouquet of sunset roses. During the signing of the register, Mrs. Wesley Joynt, of Lucknow, sang "Until."

On their return theyf will reside in their new home on the 3rd line of Morris, with the best wishes of their many friends. HOWICK Death of Miss Adelene Spence. - It becomes our sad duty this week to record the death of Miss Adelene Spence, who passed away on Decem- ber 14th, at Wellesley Hospital, To- ronto, in her 29th year, in spite of all that loving hands could do. She was the third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Adam Spence, of concession -4, How - ick. Deceased had never enjoyed ro- bust health, but 'bore her suffering with Christian fortitude and lived a life which kept her 'always ready for her Master's call. ;Ser illness only became serious a few days before her death, when the members of the fam- ily were summoned 'and were with her before the end came, with the exception of Mrs. M. C. Ruttan, who was proceeding eadr froib Calgary, on receiving the word of her serious illness. Hers was a loving and cheer- ful disposition which won her many friends wherever she went, which was demonstrated by the many floral tri- butes that were received. It is doubly sad, on account of this being the first break in the family of seven sisters. The funeral was largely at- tended by sympathizing friends and neighbors. After a brief service at the home, the cortege proceeded to the Anglican church, Fordwich, where a very impressive service was con- ducted by Rev. R. Jones, who took for his text, "To depart and to be with Christ, which.. is far better`" Philippians, Chapter 1, Verse 23. In- terment was made in the Fordwich cemetery on Sunday, December 17th.

Dear Editor: I see that the' Hen - s211 Jubilee was a great success. I particularly took notice- to • an item in The Expositor of December 1st, about the drainage- on our public highway.

The best wishes of a large number of 'relatives and friends follow them. What about the concrete, Mr. Ratepayer? ,„Z agree with you that the right quantity of gravel and cement and the' proper thickness was carried out by Mr. Taylor, as that WAS his part of the job. At the west end of the concrete there were two catehbbasins put in and the water ran the opposite direction from theta, consequently they had to dig a hole in the cement, abort sixty feet to the east, to let the water through, and between the railroad slid 'the - West end of the road water lay' An the concrete in many places and ho pvp�B lC re 'DOJOI Bbl$ d ,04 .:• J4 tir Paeampt'@,; 0 1 charge . the >Hydra 8 a qq l�ere, and, Wile has MOO aelf the right Mali in theright place, met With an,, accident on Tuesday ;forenoon lest.
