- Three and Five Years in
Kingston
Five years in Kingston peniten-
tiary. That was the sentence impos-
ed at Goderich, last Thursday, upon
each of the two Toronto brokers.
MacLaren and Fletcher, who were
implicated with John J. Huggard in
the theft and conversion of funds
amounting to some $150,000 of trust
money in the vault of the Seaforth
lawyer.
,T
he trial had only been in progress
for two days when the Toronto men
suddenly changed their pleas of "not
guilty" to "guilty," bringing the trial
to an abrupt close, after the Judge
had pronounced the above sentence.
- This sudden about-face on the part
of the two brokers was undoubtedly
the safest, sanest move; from their
point of view, that they had made
during their long business associa-
tion with Huggard. For had the trial,
• proceeded, bringing out the mases of
incriminating evidence, collected by
the authorities against them, there
• is little 'doubt but that the Judge
would have felt in,duty bennd to im-
' pose a sentence two or three times
as severe. A sentence which would
have had the solid backing of public
opinion in this district, • which was
,most nearly concerned.
• Not that sentences of five years
in Kingston; and in the case of Hug-
gard, three years in the same iffsti-
• tution, are not severe penalties. They
• are. 'Tilt 'all' three convicted men
• are comparatively young men. When
• their terms' have expired they will
• be free men again, with whatever
• kind of future they may choose to
• make for themselves. In the mean
time they will be housed, clothed, fed
• and be given employment.
Compared with the plight of many,
if riot most Of the victims they de-
• liberately robbed and plundered, the
lot of these self -convicted men is'
easy.
In fact the sentences that the law
has imposed on these three guilty ,
men are less than nothing to' the sen-
tences that these men have imposed
• upon their innocent and trusting vic-
tims, because these have been sen-
• tenced, not to three or five years, but"
• to a life time of poverty.
And to poverty that is without
hope and without a future. Delib-
erately and over a term of years
_these people, both men and wqmen,
• have had stolen from them not some-
• thing that they, can afford to lose,
not excess profits, not gifts, but the
savings, accumulated by care" and
• Iself sacrifice' from the earnings of a
life time of labor, for an independ-
ent old age. Their all.
It is a sordid story indeed, even if
• the half has notkeen told. So sordid,
in fact, that the hesitant sentence of
three years far Huggard and the five
year sentences for Fletcher and Mac -
Laren, do not seem, in any way, to
lighten or improve it.
In the eyes of the law, these men
may have been sufficiently punished,
but the treatment accorded them as
criminals, compared with the treat-
ment accorded other 'criminals in
more defendable cases, does not, as.
The Chatham News says, "increase
the spirit of respect for the admin-
istration of justice in this country."

made it almost. unanimous.
Therewere, apparently, no major
issuee in the campaign, From this
side Of the line it just seemed to be
a case of Roosevelt for or against,
and Roosevelt Won.
It could hardly. have been other-
-vgise. Besides a strong personality,
the President had• behind him a .
strong and united 'organization. For
foul* kears he had not been sitting
',still waiting for the tide to turn. He
had been doing things, many and
varied. - And'he «hathbeeu spending
money. More money than any -other
government ever spent
And a spending government is ev-
er popular with the people. And
business picked up in that country
and times 'are better and unemploy-
ment less.
Whether the President's policy or
his spending capacities had anything
to do with the improvement, his op-
ponents very .sincerely doubted, but
he received the credit just the same.
The result from a Canadian stand-
point is not unpopular as it assures
the k!ontinuance of the reciprocity
and other trade agreements for an -
'other 'four years, and Canada is
very much interested in trade agree-
ments at the present, time, and will
be for some time to come.

A New Race' of Gppsies
We learn through press notices of
the motor show 'being held in Toron-
to this week, that one of the new
and most interesting features of that
exhibition is the display, being made
by several motor manufacturers, of
motor' caravans, or homes on wheels.'
This type of home has become very,
popular in the States across the bor-
der during the past few years, and
even in -Ontario they now cause lit-
tle interest or comment as they pass
along our roads and highways, al-
though to date they are largely of
the home-made variety.
Now, however, tha$ the motor
manufacturers have .gone in for
their construction in a wholesale
way, we May expect to see a great
deal more of them. In a year or two
they will be as common as they are
in the States..
• And no one can deny that the
house on wheels is a cheap and com-
fortable: way in which to make a
summer camping trip or enjoy a fam-
ily holiday. 'But will it stop there?
Not a bit of it. Pretty soon we
are going to have a new race of gyp-
sies. Minus the dogs and horses, of
course, but gypsies all the same.
Wanderers on the face of the earth,
without fixed abodes, or fixed ambi-
-tons, other than to wander.
Travelling about in a motor cara-
van is a cheap mode' of transporta-
tion. If one makes such a caravan
a pernianent home, it. is a cheaper
way of living still.
With no assessment levied on this
class of home, there are no taxes to
pay. 'Living in Ontario in the sum-
mer and in southern climates in the
winter, there will be no fuel bills to
pay. No local ties and no local obli-
gations, no responsibilities. If life
is not pleasant in one place, it is an
easy matter to move to another.
Perhaps you think there is noth-
ing 'in this new gypsy movement. If
so, think over the past summer and
count, if you can, how many and
how many varieties of these caravans
you have Seen in towns and tourist
camps, or have met on the highways.
It Will total at least a hundred more
than you saw the year, before, and it
will be several hundred less than you
Will see next summer.
• Of course, the most of these cara-
vans will only be spending a holiday
of a week or two -seeing the country.
Rut that is only the first stage. Once
bitten by the bug of wanderlust,
those holidays are going to be ex-
tended little by little, until they cov-
er the whole year and every year.
It is really going to be serious. So
serious, in fact; that the Minister of
Highways should start right now to
figure out a tariff of charges for the
use of our highways. -Something
more than the cost of a motor and
trailer license as it is now. So much
per mile„, with single and return
fares.
Otherwise, you and I who stay at
home in the towns and on the farms
are going to. be stuck with an the
taxes when this gypsy movement
really gets under way,

S. S. 'LESSON FOR NOVEMBER,15th
Lesson Topic—The Heroism' of Chris-
tian 'Faith. -
Lesson Passage—Acts 21:12, 13, 27-
34; Romans 9:1-5.
Golden Text—John 15:13.
Twenty years or more had elapsed
'since St. Paul's 'conversion on the
road to Damascus. These twenty
years had been times of unceasing
and intense activity. Now we come to
some five years when the labors, the
turmoil and the cares of active life
had to be put aside and St. Paul was
called upon to stand apart and learn
the lesson which everyday experi-
ence tteaches us all—how easily the
world can get along without rise, how
smoothly God's designs fulfil them-
selves without our puny assistance.
St. Paul had said good-bye to the
Ephesian Christians and had .set sail
for Jerusalem, which he 'was anxious
to teach in time for the fee* of Pen-
tecost. At Caesarea he had, on' ac-
count of the favorable winds speeding
up the ehae, several days to wait.
Here he was entertained ba Philip
the Evangelist. While there a cer-
tain prophet named Agabus alarmed
the Christians for Paul's safety.. He
testified that the Jews at Jerusalem
would deliver Paul into the hand's of
the Gentiles. His friends tried to
persuade Paul to remain with them,
but he was adamant, saying, to them,
"V,ihat mean ye to weep and to break
mine heart? I am ready not to be
bound only, but also. to die at Jerusa-
lem for the name of the Lord Jesus.,
On reaching Jerusalem Paul sought
out James, the Bishop of Jerusalem,
who received' him warmly but warned
him of the Tumors Whichahad been
industriously and falsely circulated' as
to his opposition to the Law of Moses.
He advised him to prove the falsity
of these rumors by uniting himself
with certain Christian Nazarites, and
performing the Jewish rites usual. in
such cases. St. Paul was guided. by
the advice of St. James. This was
the turning -point of his fate.
Jerusalem was' at that time throng-
ed with strangers from every part of
the world'. To many of these Paul
was well known as an ,enthusiastic
teacher,. Amongst them were many
from Ephesus who were hostile to
Paul and having seen him in the city
in company. with one Trophimus, an
uncircumcised Christian belonging to
Ephesus, they raised' a 'cry against
hitt) on finding them in the temple at
the same time. It was a defiling of
the Holy Place for an uncircumcised
Greek to enter there. The people
were stirred up and were about to
kill Paul h.en he was rescued' by
the chief captain , of the soldiers.
Then began a series of trials before
Felix. Festus and, Agrippa:. After a
period of detention of two years and
three months', varied by different pub-
lic appearances, St. Paul was des-
patched to Rome to stand his trial
and make his defence before the Em-
peror Nero. This was the outconse of
his following the advice of at. James,
but hiseioin'g so was approved of,, God
for a divine vision was given to him
in the guard room and bestowed up-
on him the approbation of Heaven !

for as thou hest testified eonceining
Me at Jerusalem, so must thou bear
witness also at Rome:"

by a special guard of soldiers (for'
the country was unsettled) we left
the railway station and under a full

some pounding and shouting, the gates
were opened; we passed through a

Government Debt
Toronto, Nov. 4, 1936...
Tothe Editor of The Expositor: .
Why does Mr. Deachman, spend see
much time discussing Only our go'
ernment. debt? Does it make any dif-
ference whether' the people are in
debt as' a society, which in reality Iee
all goVernnient debt amounts to, or
whether -theyeare indebted! es...ineliyiele ...
uals? What I am trying to 'bring out,
is that debt is necessary, for tinder
our present , money system we must
have debt .before we. can have money.
Because weeh,ave specialized in our'
different activities we must have a.
medium of exchange by which we can .
exchange our labours or the products
thereof. That necessary medium we
call money.. 'It la a fact .that
Imately two per Cent. of our money
'is issued without debt and that it is
sued directly against the government's
gold reserve and only a small ,
per-
centage. ,of this two.. per cent, ever'
gets into ' the - hands of. the people -
Most of, it is used only ,by the banks
in making clearing house adjustments
-
Therefore, we are quite safe in saying,
over 98 per cent. of all our money ii
created by the banks, against debt,
either ,.efeandividuals,, corporations or,
governments.
Before the so-called depression,
about one-seyenth of our money was
created' against government debt,
while 'at the present nearly two-thirde
'at our.meney is created against 'gov-
ernment berowings, I don't mean to,
say that the amount of money in Can-
ada has remained the same since be-
fore the depression, for as' a matter
of fact it hasn't,' but that the Deane;
of private borrowers have been, liqui-
dated while 'government borrowings
have increased.,
Mr. Deachm.an says we can and will
pay our debt. Let Mr. Deachman ex-
plain, how it can be done under, our
present banker 'debt money system'..
When he 'd'e he will surely not have
tire audacity to again say, that no one
nation, no one party was responsible,
for the depression. Booms ,and de-
pressions are the work of, man and.
are as unnecessary and as much
handicap to the progress of a natters,
