'SENATOR IlanilQaD.GOIDODt WaS made on 'that Mrs. Norman Wilson, of linnte had been appointed to the dnon Senate. Hon. rCairine Rhea W_ilson, to ne her the new title which now be- Iongs to her, is not only the first wo- lannn to take a place in the Senate of Canada, but she is the first to entel• Mg 'upper house, on the North Ameri- can continent or in the British Em- pire. Just haw:many of her sister wo- men fortunate enough to be able to follow lier lead, time alone will tell. If the Canadian Senate is what it * popularly supposed to be in the minds of a great many people in the country, viz: a haven of rest for 'old and: broken down political hack% it might be a good thing for the 'Government to appoint a large munber of -women to seats in that august as'sem'bly to see if it would not instill new life into the dying vitality of that chamber. Even if the experiment did not suc- ceed in accomplishing all that it was hoped it would do, it might be better for the country to have all the po- litically inclined office -seekers in the feminine world appointed to the Sen- ate rather than have them cluttering up the House of Commons, where the laws of the country are really enact- ed. But if the Senate is what it is sup- posed to be, and in the minds of many able Canadians is, viz: a body of men ripe in political and business experience; a chamber independent of political influence and like our Can- adian judiciary, composed! Of linen who because Mtheir independence are enabled to pass an unprejudiced opinion on legislation presented to them, then the appointment of a wo- man to the Senate would appear in the light of a jesture, a bone thrown lo appeal to and appease the clamor of the worses vote in the large cit - J ies. However, Mrs. Wilson is now a Senator, and if any woman is able to lay claim to the necessary qualifica- tions of a female as a Senator, she certainly possesses a number of them.. She is a young woman still in her thirties, the wife of a man of means, wlio undoubtedly has the time to give to her new duties, and she is the neither of eight children. We were going to add, too, that she is a Presbyterian, but in these piping times of religious peace, that fact might prejudice her cause in the minds of too many of our readers and we would be very reluctant to put any stones in the path which would impede her career as a Senator. thing for nothing. That is why high pressure sales,. men have been able to take much of the surplus money and often the sav- ings out of this county and others during the past few years, and why there is no money available for sound farm mortgages and other invest- ments that would increase the wealth and population of the county. If the sum total that has been lost in get rich quick schemes, by the peo- ple of Huron County in very recent years, and the sums already invested in such like schemes, which will, eventually be lost, could be flashed on a screen, broadcasted or publish- ed, it would astound the people of Ontario, not to mention the people of this county. And the end is not yet. It really is a thing that can be regulated more successfully and perm- anently by the people as individuals, than by Governments, because as the Peterborough Examiner very truly points out, it should always be re- membered that no law can effectually protect the man who thinks it pos- sible to get something for nothing. in Lenden and St. Thomas with her sisters.—Mr, John Turner, of Clinton, spent aim' days with friends recent- ly.—Quite a large crowd attended the lags social on Monday evening under the auspices of the Y. P. S. A good progeame and games were gtven. The main feature of the programme was a debate, "Resolved that sucengs in life is due to character rather than circumstances." The affirmative side was taken by 'Misses Jean Ivison and Lettie Love, of Kippen; the negative by Miss Annie Jarrott and Mr. Stew- art Beatty, with Mrs. (Rev.) Conner, Messrs. James McAllister and Ntor- man Alexander as judges. The points on both sides proved to be the very best. The judges' decision was for the affirmative side, winning byn a score of 17 points. The boxes were sold and everyone done ample juistice to the good things. STANLEY Notes.—Mr. Frank McClinchey who is attending O.A.C. at Guelph, spent Sunday at his home here.—Tars.

ST. COLUMBAN Notes.—Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Krauskopf, of McKil- lop, on the arrival of a son, Philip Joseph, at St. Joseph's Hospital, Lon- don.—We are pleased to see Mrs. Jos. Krauskopf has recovered from her re- cent illness.—Mrs. F. J. McQuaid, of Stratford, is visiting at the home of her ton, James McQuaid.—Miss M.

The recent crashes in the stock market and the wholesale investiga- tions and arrests which have followed these crashes are public property and known to all. But so great and widespread have been the losses sustained by the peo- ple through these stock crashes that the Governments in every Province of the Dominion are being petitioned to pass legislation that will in future protect the investor and punish the brokers should even a slight similar- ity to the present situation again arise. There is a possibility that the Pro- vincial Government of Ontario and those of other Provinces have been a little remiss in the discharge of their duties regarding the oversight of the business methods employed by many brokerage houses. At the same time it should be re- membered that no complaints of the manner in 'which brokers conducted business of their clients, nor of Gon- ernment supervision was heard until the crash came. That, of course, is human nature. As long as a man is making money, real or paper, he is, as a rule, per- fectly satisfied with conditions as they are. It is only when the real as well as the paper money suddenly vanishes and in addition he is sold out of his 'business and very often his home. that the same mart begins to suspect that there is a nigger in the wood- pile somewhere; that he has been robbed, not through any fault of his own, but by the sinful acts of brok- ers and the carelessness or worse, of Governmenta. It never occults to a man that try- ing to get something for nothing is the real nigger. A man in a store, a factory or an office knows that un - leas he gives a day's work he will not • receive a day's pay. A farmer knows that unlesshe works to put in a crop he 1L have, no harvest. tterisi 'Men in every occupation or pnofeenien knows than in bis own pattittitarthere can be no pay in regale& ' it greater or lets Work first been per- noiAnd Anneitin it Yet Inn:owing this ene; their eWn Opeapittion or 01,0 Are Mitt firmly ntent in Enemy Other ven IMMee =.0!tlai •MMI•016 STAFFA "0 fortun4te, 6 happy day When a new household finds its place Among the m,yriad homes of earth, Like a new star just sprung to birth And rolled on its harmonious way Into the boundless realms of space.
