Federal Election This Year The interested and disinterested people who have been arranging and ,rediciting a Federal election this year, have, apparently, been working on their own without even consulting the powers that reign at Ottawa. But the powers that be in Ottawa have something to say in the matter. The whale say, in fact. And Mr. King has said it. According to Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King there will be no federal election until 1930. And, we believe, Mr. King has said the right thing. - The present Parliament was only elected two years ago and has three more years of life. Why then an el- ection at this time? There is no political issue before. the people. The .Government has a strong and Ioyal following in the House. Its programme, as outlined before the last general election, is just getting 'under way. There is much work for it to do, and, we be- - lieve, the people want to see the present Government do it. It is true that times are improv- ing; revenues are increasing so rap- idly that from a party standpoint it might be a smart move, on the part of the- Government, to spring an el- ection as did the Ontario Premier, and it might meet with equal success. Undoubtedly it would. The pres- ent Liberei Government is as secure- ly in the saddle as any Government at Ottawa has ever been. It probab- ly possesses the confidence + of the people as no . other Government has ever done. Why then disturb that confidence by putting the country,to the expense and turmoil of a general election, when by such a move it could gain nothing more than it now possesses. If the Present Government con- tinues in the way it has been going, it will be just as popular with the. people at the close of its term as it is now. Premier King has said the right thing. And he has said it plainly. e ,d%i`o American Tour for the Duke of Windsor Because of his proposed organized tour of the United States, the Duke of Windsor is very much in the lime- light again on this side of the Atlan- tic. In Canada as well as the States. No doubt he would have received. a hearty welcome, but there is very grave doubt if his personal popular- ity or the good .• will towards Britain wouYd have been increased, had • the - proposed tour materialized. ----In fact there is much evidence to the contrary. Had the Duke chosen to visit America and travel about in that country as any ordinary tour- ist would do, little attention, and cer- tainly no ill will would have been en- gendered by his presence. But an organized tour, with propa- ganda and a press bureau, was a very different thing. The bulk of the American people, not to mention the Government, did not take very kindly to such a visit. And we doubt very much if Great Britain did tither. eParticularly so as the Duke has just returned from such an or- ganized tour of Germany. Yt would appear from this distan'e ', if :the : Duke was still suffer- ing from the same kind of personal .friends and ;advisers that he suffer- ed from in the crisis of a year ago, bieh: led to his abdication. At least these prepared tours would point in hat direction. nlst Piave been a severe disap- nt t the Luke of Windsor to rs• rnerican 'tour, but the o did postpone it, and t proved that 1'oy- t rci and ,Na- ce 4r his own Wel,,-ardlp The h*�than News says; "The Well*d'rrib ane advocates the ab61- isl ing of nuisancesat weddings. is it possible they are going to dispense with grooms?" Well, hardly. You can't dispense with grooms at weddings. You nev- er ebuld, The groom is about the only indispensable thing about a suc- cessful wedding. `. e You see it's this way: There has `to be a groom to give his name to the bride. That is the first thing. Then he has to °give her his peace of mind ; his right to his own opinion ;.his con- trol over his own actions; his right to speak without being spoken to his right to be heard neat just hear; his goings and comings. And whether his life be long or short, it will last quite long enough to hand over all his worldly posses- sions. Since the days of Adam it has been that way. It always will be that way. A -groom routed be abolished after a wedding—to all intents and pur- poses, he usually. is. But dispensed with—never. He may be the chief nuisance at a wedding. But don't hold that against • him. It is his last chance to be any- thing, andeven a nuisance is better than nothing. Weddings might be dispensed with, but not grooms. Just ask any bride, or. bride-to-be. She'll tell you! • Phil Osifer of Laz Going Up, We said elsewhere in these columns that revenues were rising. And so they are. We have the word of Comptroller Watson Sellar for the Statement. • According to Mr. Sellar the King Government had a surplus . of $33,- 372,600 for the first seven months of the fiscal ,year. From April 1st to October 31st of this year the total re- ceipts were $319,757,177 and the to-_ tal disbursements $286,384,577. That is an amazing recovery con- sidering the fact that at this time a year ago, Finance Minister Dunning,_ faced a deficit of $64,003,380. The difference this year represents a turnover of one hundred million dol- lars and leads the Minister to the be- lief that he will ,be able to report a balanced budget itt the end of the fis- cal year, which will be in March next. The customs duties are up $10,00,- 000; excise duties,' $4,000,000; excise taxes, $210,000; income tax, $16,- 000,000; post office department; $1,- 000,000, the total of all receipts this year being $319,757,177. Last year the total receipts were $266,811,623, the increase for this year being $52,- 945,554. Last year the total expenditures were $a30,815,003, compared with a total expenditure this year of $286,- 384,577, which is a decrease of $44,- 430426. All this meads that for the first seven months of this year Canada ,has been collecting much more money and spending much less mon- ey than a year ago. And, the longer ;Canada continues along those lines of government, the sooner will come the time when we may expect some -relief from the crushing burden of taxation, under which we have been living for so Iong. - WHAT OTHER 4AFEliS SAY. One Law For Rich and Poor (Niagara Falls Review) We disagree emphatically with the statement attributed! to Crown Attorney Newton of London, Ont., that "well known folk should be summonsed on liquor charges and not thrown, into jail" We are absolutely opposed to any idea of one law for the rich and another for the poor. , Whether a neon, is or is not thrown- into jail should have nothing whatever to do with social or other posi- tion but depend on theoffence itself. That Lon- don suggestion gates comfort to the Communists and will be used as. a text in many a red address. • Britain's Foreign Policy (WindE001- Daily Star) "The nnninepring .of our foreign policy," says Prime .Minister Chamberlain, "is the desire to lei's. at :peace with our neighbors and to nee our infitiente to induce' them if we can, to resolve ddfCielliti'es by neaeefuU `diocussiirns and not, re- sort to Veer.": 1 ere is+ a big fact stated hi clear, altuage laiigttagey' It requiree no long-winded Bit- OW110110/1: Britain, is for'peace, She haS no Other d ra.

T. &mot care what )happ ;tr Maui" - eh n'1Pesi,�t 5�Y ,cS "M ITTS" A touch of colder weather and a dash of snow that whiterts the ground overndgbt, and with the placing of the cattle in the stable, it brings to mind the fact that winter will soon be with us. That -calls to my mind the subject of mitts once more . - and mitts have beep a source of an- noyment to me all my life. accused me of buying thein for the red, I wits mighty proud of those mitts too, and. I wore them every- wihere. The new clerk in Tim's store told me that they were some kind of new "hag" that they found down in a country in South America. The trouble was, that when they caught this "fancy frog" they must have used birdshot because his hide leaked war ter like a sieve. Then it would get cold and I would be afraid of hitting my fingers on the edge of the gate- post, when I was unlatching the gale for for they would snap off litre icicles. I left them down one day, at least I must have left one because I dis- covered later that I only had one. Thee I wore a glove on one hand and the mitt on the other. My hands, would almost freeze with the frost. The only means' of getting them warm at ail was to put the mitts down between my knees and then blow on my hands until I had them sort of warmed up. When I try to pick the mitts up, my foot slips and they go down to scoop up about half a busthel of snow. Then at last I shove the mitt and glove in my pocket and jamming my • hands under mY coat I :plod on to some place where it is warm., Seriously, I envy anyone who can keep a pair of mitts. I sort of cringe all up, inside of me, when I hear Neighbor Higgins saying that he ex- pects that the mitts he wore last win- ter will do him for another winter. I expect if I would go into Tim's store anal buy a good old-fashioned pair of horsehide mitts s with a substantial liming, and then tied a string across my shoulders I wouldn't lose the ,mitts. Aa it is now, I go into the store and then I' see some fancy new kind -and because they attract my eye, I buy ,theta. Ten chances to one I leave one of them down and forget where I put it, or else "Suchand.such", the Collie pup, picks them up and hauls them away to some secret hide-out of his to chew at them to this ;heart's content. - Mitts are an awful nuisance to me. It started back when I was a very small boy, and I was made to wear mitts. Of course,- there was a great deal more satisfaction in not.wearing them, and it was s.o easy to lose them. Simply a matter of letting them slip off and be buried in the spew. Then a severe scolding, and after that a string that went across. the shoulders and, held the tiny mittens in place. They were a nuisance, but when I broke them she was always ready to repair the string . . , and that was more of a nuisance. In• my adolescent days, --my blood ran warmer and I braved, the fall weather without gloves or mitts, and made sure that all the young females in the village could see me, when I unloaded wood on the vacant lot next door to Tim Murphy's General Store (the.wood) was to pay our gro- cery bill). With the years coming on, blood began to get thinner and I was forc- ed at the first touch of winter to either get myself a pair of gloves or mitts. They are a part of my clothes that are detachable and you may find -some of them' at almost any spot on :the farm, in' various stages of rotting. That comes from taking them off to do some sort of chore, and stuffing them in your pocket. One• is almost always certain to drop out, and then Jessie, the brindle cow, comes along and steps on them and, they are push- ed down. Possibly at some future date,' an excavator will dig up one oft the mitts and 'build around it the akel,eton of prehistoric man -"Pthil Osifer to you-" Last year I purchased a pair of those fancy- store mitts, with the lea- ther facing and the fancy red up around the wrists'. In fact, my wife JUST A SIMILE OR TWO "I )hear you met Brown's wife the other day. What kind of a woman is she?„ "The kind that talks for hours about things that leave: -her speechless." •. Johnny answered every question the teaoher put with "I don't .know." Finally ,she asked, "Is there any- thing you can answer?" "Yes," replied Johnny promptly/ "the telephone." - "Smell anything, grandmother?" asked the youngster who was lying on the floor drawing. Grandmother assured lrirri sh)e did not. The young artist gave a few finish- ing touches and repeated his question. Grandmother sniffed the air, and again declared she smelled nothing. "Well," said the boy, "you ought to, I have just drawn a skunk!" :ElizabethFry goes to Newgate® • (Condensed from The Atlantic Monthly in Reader's Digest) • On a cold January day in 1817, in the gloomy vestibule outside the woo - men's yard at Newgate Prison, two turnkeys were arguing with a lady: The Tow in'sid'e the yard was as great as ratal. Even while they talked, a wo]ran rushed wildly out of a door- way and, with shrieks ofu furious laughter, snatched off the headgear of every woman that, she could reach. "And she wouldn't stop at doing that to you, ma'am. Tear off your things scratch and claw you—that's what they'd do, ma'am." The turn- keys themselves knew better than to go in alone. But the lady was obstin- ate. She smiled and said, "Thank you, but -'I am going in --and alone." At least, then, she must leave her watch behind.. They could see the glittering chain on the quiet richness of her Quaker dress. But the unreas- onable lady would' not even do that. Reluctantly the turnkeys pressed open the gate against the begging, scuffling cr3wd, and Elizabeth Fry went in. The gate clangell and lock- ed' behind her. There was an instan- taneous silence of complete astonish- ment, Then every woman•in the yard surged forward. The lady was sur- ro%Yndedq the turnkeys could see only the tip of her white cap. But no one was )snatching. The Quaker dress was rot provocative. Yet' Elizabeth was in great danger. If she should now show. fear, or say or do the wrong thing --but she had never been less afraid in 'her life. !She picked up a filthy little child and it could be seen fingering her bright chain. Then she lifted her hand for attention. "Friends, many of you are mothers. I too am a mother. I am distressed for your children. Is there not some- thing we can do for these inmocent little ,ones? Do you want them to grow up to become° real prisoners themselves? Are they to learn to be thieves and worse?" Thus she pierced' their armor. They gave her a chair and brought their children t,o hen what tales she 'heard of wickedness, remorse, injus- tice and despair! She remained' with them for )hours, and made plans with them. And ashen at last she bade them farewell, she left behind her, an inhabitant" very strange at Newgate— revivifying Hope. What, then, was Elizabeth Fry's re- markable project? It was nothing more or less than to start a, school, in Newgate,for tihe children of pris- oners and for juvenile criminals.' By invoking the aid of the women them selves, she put herself more than a °hundred• years ahead of the most ad - waxed thinkers of her time. On her;next visit Mrs. Fry was stet, comned as an already famikiar friend. Remnants of lost menherla returned to the women in response to•her ser- ene courtesy. They proudly present- ed to her the sohoolmietrese they had chosen from among themselves, a young woman snared! Mary . Connor., 'f'ecently conmmitted for stealing' a watole but in other to ipects wveli qualified tra i chimer the qct Ing. - $i Mrs. Fry praised their progress; and talked over with them in detail rules for the school Assured of their com- plete co-operation, she then approach- ed the authorities ---the. two Sheriffs of London, the Governor of Newgate himself. Only a lady of wealth and standing could have commanded the ear of these impprtant men. As it v.as they gave her every attention but displayed the usual official sae tiicie. Her plan was' a very nice plan and it did -her heart and mind credit, but, alas! Mrs. Fry did not know New- gate as they did. These women were incorrigible, irretrievable. Besides -- this was at the second interview-- there nterview—there was not a single room that could be spared. Astutely Mrs. Fry committed them to the statement that the absence of a room was now their only objection. She then went to her allies, the wo- men prisoners. To state her problem to them was to solve it. One small room was found to be, by common consent, unneeded for'any other pur- rose. Then the Sheriffs gave their permission: she might try her "ben- esolent, but almost hopeless, experi• rr e nt-"- The very next day, Mrs. Fry, as impatient to `°begin as the prisoners themselves, brought old s'ehool books, installed Mary Connor as teacher, and formally, opened the school. Thirty pupils, mostly children of seven and under, were .enrolled; the "narrow- ness of the room" would hold no more. But the door was . besieged with girls in their teens and women in their twenties and older, implor- ing, with tears, to be taught. Elizabeth promised she would try to do something for them, if they would be patient. Daily she passed through the appalling life of the yard. She saw and heard and was aware of all kinds' of filth, drunkenness and degradation. She knew that men prisoners were let into the women's quarters at night. She knew of abus- es "too bad to tell," so that she nev- er dared take any "young person" in- to the place. Yet she neither despis- ed nor despaired. She perceived that the enforced idleness, the dreadful _ennui of prison, was itself a direct in- centive to vicious behavior. The more !intelligent prisoners had told her' the very first day that they wanted to be taught to read and sew. One-third of the 70 women at New- gate were unable to readat all; an- other third could read "only a little" As for sewing, it would enable the women to make clothes for them selves and 'their children. And after that, what? Elizabeth concluder that they should sew thir)ge to sell. But to whom? .And where was the money for materials to come from? She consulted others•-lnterested in. prison te,feree All threw colic water on her ideas. The materials given out to prisoners would be stolen. Z`lte women would .soon tine of it.
