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.

,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

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.

"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

: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. Nttist
