THE TOWN Il3!$ C O ° Mho l)eahos eW lihi);) Sayo A MAN CAN APPRECIATE ONLY TEAT vaRICat 1HIIE to NOUS Records show that many of the old sayings are falling by the wayside, the latest of which is the one about the impossibility of converting the hear- ing apparatus of a female omnivorous mammal into a silk overnight bag. A man in New York has ruined that by actually making silk of a sow's ear. But the tired and proven statement that "A man can appreciate only that which he knows" will undoubtedly outlive the span of years of the most of us. Arthur Brisbane tells a story about a brown rat in Lincoln Park, Chicago. This rat lives happily in his hole under a tree, never doubting but 'that the whole park was made just for him, as some people believe the whole town in which they live was made just for them. This rat is an agnostic --you n't make him believe anything that he cannot understand and prove, and as he cannot understand or prove very much, he is happy and self satisfied. e is a good rat, however, minds his own business, and keeps regular hours. He runsup and down his little path, looks with contempt at the queer ani- mals which live up the tree, and some day he will die in his hole, with his teeth grown long, convinced that he has not missed a thing that life has to offer. - " Without intention of drawing any undue comparisons, the fact neverthe- less remains that in every community there are residents, who, like the rat, deny what_ they can not understand; citizens who are contemptuous of that which is near them, and that which could be appreciated. Intellectually, these people are as rats -,-rodents to the civic life of community. These peo- ple do not know but unlike the case of rats, it does make a difference and upon the shoulders of somebody or some group of sombodies is the responsi- bility of doing that which is necessary to make them appreciative. The voters who deter the building of better schools, the paving of roads and streets, the making of play grounds, the laying of sewers, the installa- tion of disposal plants and water filtration plants; the business people who insist on being "storekeepers" and "pooh-pooh" the idea of clerk training, yet weep and wail that chain store and capital are ruining their business; the resident to whom a stranger says: "This looks like a pretty good town," and replies: "Yeah, it's all right, if you like it"; the merchant that the com- munity has supported but who, refuses to belong to a service club or a civic organization, and who belittles, runs down and decries every attempt on the part of anyone to hedp the community; Mr. Average Citizen who sits back and says nothing, does nothing; with an "It's none of my affair" attitude; the ever-present percentage that go out of their way to run the community down maliciously; the resident who takes no part in the clean-up campaign, an orphans' home benefit, hospital or other charitable drive; the property owner, resident or otherwise, who refuses to eradicate visible community abominations; the man, grown old, who cares not a whit if the swimming pool of his forgotten boyhood joys is polluted with the refuse of his factory; the gossip, the civic derelict, the knocker and the fool—these are the rod- ents who must be shown and taught the costliness of their ways before, and in order that they may appreciate. Now is the time for every thinking citizen and civic organization, every business man and every city official to awaken to the very evident fact that "What was, isn't"—that things have changed and that old-fashioned ideas of community life will not stand the gaff of modern ways of doing things.

It TIBIE WEEK IIN OTTAWA (By R. J. Deachman) Heat moves the members of the Dominion Parliament as nothing else could. Men are now anxious to get the show over. Morning sittings take the enthusiasm out of the average W. P. A Member of Parliament has no easy task. He needs the mornings tree for his usual duties. When they are taken away from him and the weather is hot, and he's worried and wants to get home, then he is inclined to turn peevish and wish that he had not yielded to the important delega- eion who pressed him to write M. P. sifter his name. That feeling lingers for a few days and then it is gone. When he gets back home he thinks one more of the good times he had. When he gets the summons to return he conies back with abounding cheer- fulness, thinking that he will never weary of the task 'before him. This week the House was favored with the speech of General MacRae on the Immigration question. It was the same speech he delivered last year. He wants the Government to go into a grandiose scheme, bringing in im- migrants, elearing land and generally re -making the face of the earth. He wants the Government to spend $300,- 000,000 on it, This would be just about as foolish a scheme as it is possible for the mind of man to conceive. If success- ful it would increase the production of agricultural products in the Dom- inion of Canada, to a point which would disturb the balance now exist- ing and tend greatly to reduce prices. If it failed, and it would fail, then thousands and thousands of men who failed as farmers, would flock into towns, giving us once more, the prob- lem of the' unemployed. The West- ern Canadian cities would have to foot the bill. It would disturb in every way, our national economic balance. lit would be a policy which for sheer foolishness, would be hard to beat. Some people have been mean en- ough to say that the General is in- terested in farm lands in the Peace River and wants this scheme in order to get rid of them. There is not a word of truth in it. General MacRae is not that kind of a man. He is rich.-. He doesn't need Government aid in any schemes to help him make more money. He is the last man in the world to do a thing which would bring discredit upon the Party to which he belongs. The truth is that the General is living in a past age. . He was associated with Land Com- panies in the development of the West. He thinks conditions are the same to -day as they were then. Times have changed and we with the times. There is only one way to settle our agricultural lands and settle them permanently—get off the farmer's back, and generous and all as Mr. Mee ; e is and willing to spend the money of the people, he is diaAietric- ally opposed to any idea which would improve the status of agriculture by removing from •the agriculturist the burdens which are now borne by him. There his class consciousness comes In. Settle the lands? Yes, but make the farmer pay through the pocket, two prices for the things he needs. A Wiser Course. A wise recuse • was suggested in the House by Mr. Frank Cahill. He intimated that he thought it would be a part of y�i adeomm to abandon alto- gether, the bringing in of settlers b ?mot-houte n eethodta: After all, Can Ian g rro't~,�th 10 feat enough. We vele Walk theee etrreete and labor in the x ti fields to -day, would not be happier if there were a thousand more automo- biles on every street and tens of thousands more laborers in the fields. Bulk does not make men better. Mere size is not everything in this world. There are some who would like to in- crease the population in this country no matter how it was done. It might possibly benefit the railroads. It might be of advantage to certain in- dustries, but anything that is not of benefit to the country as a whole is not of benefit to particular industries in the long run and the wiser course is to realize the situation as it is and develop slowly and naturally. We are growing now as fast and faster than any other Anglo-Saxon country in the world, that ought to be good en- ough. We ought to be satisfied. Ukrania Speaks. But the Immigration question and the week's events should not be con- cluded without a remark on the speech made by Mr. Michael Luch- kovich, the member for Vegreville. Mr. Luchkovich is a U'kranian, at least he was born in the United States of Ukranian parents. lie is well edu- cated—he speaks fluently, uses good English, always with perhaps that strange little touch which the new- comer to the British language uses— but good nevertheless. Ile walked into Bishop Lloyd full speed. It would have been very in- teresting if the Bishop had 'been there to reply. One 'could almost imagine that under the circumstances, the Bishop would have softened his lang- uage. It seems that the noble gen- tleman did at one time, suggest that the West should not be inhabited with these "dirty, ignorant, garlic smell- ing, unprefered Continentals." Mr. Luchkovitch played upon this sent- ence. Played upon it beautifully. He pointed out that from the "garlic smelling races" had come such men as Paderewski, Tolstoy and Caruso. He even suggested that the golden voice of Caruso might even nowbe giving supreme pleasure to the godly Bishop. Taken on the whole, it was a bright speech. It may not have got anybody anywhere, but that is a trifle in times like these. We must allow for good speeches, even if they do not produce any definite results. Absence Makes Divorce go Faster. Mr. Woodsworth happened to be out of town the other day and the result was that a bunch of divorce bills slipped through with admirable celerity. He has been the watch -dog of those who are seeking to break the bars which hold them from freedom, and as delays are dangerous in div- orce, especially near the end of the session, Mr. Woodsworth's absence from town must have been particu- larly delightful to some people. ad Medicine. When the'"a�,stimates of the Depart- ment of !e ealt'h were up for discussion Dr. King pointed out that a few years, ago 60,000 patent medicines were sold in Canada—now there were only six thousands. Quite a change? Perhaps five thousand more may pass away— why not make it six instead of six thousand? One might hold firmly to the conviction that siding is better than Radway's Ready Relief, as a cure for stomach ache and an open window can work snore wonders than old Dr. Shilow's Cough Cure. Even in politics, the Quack tends to disap- pear. The patent, the e entry is bet- ter for his absence. Gossip, What does 'Ottaarn gossip about while Parliament is drawing n a close? Favorite themes are(the pane- sibilities of the next election and the chances for Cabinet changes—the av erage man in the House can probab ly tell more of these things than th Premier—butt the gossip goes steadil on, nevertheless. Then of course, the American Tari is a subject for frequent discussion The Vancouver Sun has been runnin an advertisement in Eastern papers calling upon the Government of Can ada to raise the tariff, because th Americans have raised their tariff The Sun is a peculiar paper. It sug; gests that the policy of the American is "sheer economic madness." II points out that the United State might lead the world if it would onl choose to abandon this wild policy o foolishness which it has adopted Then it goes on to urge that the onl course that Canada can take is t adopt the same course, copying th foolishness, aping the economic mad- ness, going forward as the United States is, on its journey of abandoned silliness. The article has caused wide comment among Parliamentarians. It is generally considered that for sheer madness, nothing written by a so- called serous publication, has sur- passed it for some time. Then Ottawa discusses the elections in Great Britain. By the time you read this story, the result will be "old stuff." This is put down merely that you may see that the wise men of Ottawa think. The average man will take it as a guess that it is more than likely that when the election is over, Lloyd George will hold the bal- ance of power and be the real con- trolling force in Great Britain. It is a guess purely, but the betting is the same way—so Ottawa sees the fight, just as the rest of the world sees it.

FIFTY-THREE YEARS F1 GO The Clinton News -Record in a re- cent issue said: A copy of The Seaforth Expositor, dated November 3rd, 1876, was band- ed to The News -Record the other day by Chief Stong, who remarked that he knew we "liked news when it was fresh." There are a number of in- teresting items in this old paper, which was then in its ninth year, and an eight -page six -column sheet. A few items are published from the New Era, one being that "the Rev, Dr. Wall would preach to the Orange- men at Summerhill on the following Sunday evening." That "Messrs. Papps and Bear had threshed on the farm of Mr. J. Hays, Huron Road, seventy bushels of spring wheat in thirty-five minutes." That "one day last week Mr. Scott, of the Huron Road, shot a deer that was making for the river. He made a remarkab- ly good shot, putting a bullet through its heart. When dressed it weighed eighty pounds." That "on October 19th, when preparations were being made to practice at Atholcott range, Clinton, a golden plover settled on the top of a tree about 150 yards from the 'butt, when Capt .Shepherd at once took aim with his rifle and brought it down." The paper' -also reports a gathering of temperance workers in Clinton to discuss the advisability of 'bringing on a vote on the Dunkin Act. Editorially, the paper discusses, im- partially, the fact that the Dunkin Act is looming in the country; a war in Servia and the appointment of David Mills as Minister of the Inter- ior in the Dominion Government. The editor hopes that some reforms will be inaugurated by Mr. Mills, one of them being senate reform, so that anyone who mentions senate reform is not being strictly original. The writer of this editorial seemed to feel strongly on the subject, he says: "We shall be disappointed if another session is allowed to pass without something being done in this direc- tion. If the body cannot be entirely done away with at the present time, it should at least he brought under the control of the people and made responsible to them. An irrespon- sible, life -appointed legislative body is a 'relic of barbarism' which should not be permitted to exist for a single day in this enlightened age." But there, it has existed ever since and is still "going strong," while the writer and the newly -appointed min- ister, from whom much was expected, are long since gathered to their fathers. Senate reform and the re- gulation of the liquor traffic ars about as serious problems at present as they were fifty years ago. But while the editor was looking to the new minister to do some useful work, he seemed to have at least one objection. He continued: "The only thing we have against him a that he. is very nearly as unreasonable and as bigotted a Pres Trader as our es r -sand ed contemporary hi d;lisnton."` Still, ff ,I t False Yoi to • • Pace irdr e 9 Nxft i anterr s e Cod s nn f f row Ile 1he proper ', 0 o NCLUFF e Q "v . ..'..'vrt�+a . ,„,,„,.k� „,Y.,•Sf"4,,,,,RT"' ..., - yygr �o • nq;,..5'+• he has hopes for him, "that with his IV., Audrey Murdoch; Jr. IV—Mabel improved facfoe bIIBMc will come to see ilities theor folly of hisbservation pasthJr-TadLII (A)—AuJr. I d(rey)—AlCochraex.ne;Beath; best extreme views." speller in school for April: Audrey Cochrane and Alex.
