We've been at a great maty Nichol Township non,- inations and we are rather amazed at the change which has come over tbeni even though we did expect it to c, <ue some time. We used to go there know- ing that every candidate would complain about the aute,mobiles that ruined the roads and scared the farmers' horses and women folk. That used to be the one subject _on which all rural voters were perfectly agreed. And cnce we. re membered somebody slipped an item into the Newa-Record to the effect that the farmers who were kicking about the automobiles would be kicking about the price of gasoline in a few years. Never was there a truer prophesy. On Mon- day not one speaker complained, that the autos were ruining the roads, though there is no -doubt man) of them -are sad ly in need of repair, hut all agreed that we must have better roads and only wanted to know the best way to get them. Even!

IRISH PARLIAMENT If all that hi reported in the news= papers about the -Sinn Feiners and their Irish parliament is true, one might be pardoned for regarding the whole thing as an Irish joke. It is question- able if anything more ab3urd and, fatcic- al ever was enacted. Seventy or seventy-two Sinn Fein candidates for the British House ot Commons were elected in Ireland. As candidates they declared that they would not attend the 'parliamentary sessions at London. Instead they (that is they who were not in jail) would meet as a parliament in their own capital, Dnblin, declare Ireland independent of Britain and proceed to govern Ireland. They would do more: They would ap- j Point delegates to the Peace Conference being held in France and -endeavor to' get recognition there as an independent nation. About one half of the Sinn Fein can- didates were serving jail terms in differ- ent parts of the country when they were elected, and there was at the time no prospect of their immediate liberation. Perhaps it was expected that . the fact that they were in jail would excite sym- J►athy in their favor, and evidently it did ; but th' y are at the serious disad- vantage of not being able t11 attend either the British or the Irish parlia- ment. Only 25 of the Sinn Fein luembers were able to attend the parliament at Dublin; but they proceeded to do busi- neve just the same. They declared the independence of Ireland and elected a president of the Irish Republic. The president unfortunately bas.not-an Irish- name, rishname, and is not an Irishman by birth or parentage. His name is F.amonrr Pe I Valera His mother wa.9 Irish, but his father was a Spaniard, and he was born in New York City. • -He is only :35 years of age. Another act of the 'parliament''. was to appoint three delegates to the Peace Conference. Two of these are in j{il and not likely to be liberated until the Conference is over. The other, Lord Plunkett, is a well-known agitator who can leave the country only with the per- mission of the British Government., whierh he would destroy. So Ireland's representation ' at the Peace Conference is not likely to materialize. One wonders why these Irish do not -uridertar6 Something: vinic-G`Ihe'y can accomplish, rather than pretend to do: 1,hinas which they cannot' do -they de- clare Ireland independent, knowing that it cannot be independent and they ap- 4xoint representatives to the Peace Con- ference knoaing that they cannot t tend. The real government oflrreland is car- ried on by Marshall Lord French who ve has a strong. army at his command and has nothing to fear frost) any trouble that can possibly arise. He permits the Sinn Feinera t,, go on with their show knowing that it must all come to nothing, and that the farcical govern- ment can be suppressed at any time. Independence for Ireland is out of 'the question. Halt, or more than half, of the people of Ireland do not want, it; and the people of Britain could never permit it, because an indepeut Ireland might some day provide a landing place for an enemy to attack England The wilder elements in Ireland may call it slavery and oppression if they will, but they will have to put-up with -it, it.there is no remedy but independence. •ea � THE MACE CONFERENCE The great Peace Conference in session at VersaiLlesr France, appears to be mak- '.ing progress—not without serious chili culties, however. ,_ Proceedings of the"eoiferen'ee ar8. nit being reper" ed to the world as the pro- ceedings of a free parliament would be. Whether or 'note free; reporting of the proceedings miff d` bitee``:.should be 'al- lowed was one of te preliminary mat- ters agreed upon efore the business sessions of the conference began. The French, who throughout the war gave little, liberty to the press favored secrecy as of the debates but_ publicity as to the decisions arrived at, .appear to have had - their way. It was thought as well not to allow the enemy to know such differ- ences of opinion as should arise. The most important matter to come .up was the advisability of forming a league of nations for the maintenance of peace, and the enforcement of arbitra- tion of international disputes. ' Rather unexpectedly the French delegates do not appear to favor the idea<Of:a league of nations, choosing rather to put faith in their military power to defend them- selves. The motion favoring the league was introduced by President Wilson,' of the United States, and Premier Lloyd George, of Britain. Both made most forceful and eloquent speeches in favor of a league, and the motion received the unanimous consent of the Conference. The French idea of a proper settle- ment found expression .week earlier in Marshall Foch's appeal to make the Rhine River the western boundary of Germany. He said that the Rhine is the natural defence line of Fr ince on the east. This seems to be the old rather' than the new way of malting and preserving peace. It would mean the taking of ra large slice of German territory; and just how' the French ex- pect the German inhabitants of that territory to peaceably submit to -French rule is not easily understood. This, along with the want of faith in a league of nations, suggests that the French still have a good deal,.of faith in physical force. What looks like a -stable government 'is being established in Germany; the saner elen;ents having succeeded in sub- duing the anarchists who were prepared to muddle everything in Germany as their kind had done in Russia. The iawless elements having gained the upper hand throrighout the greater part of Russia, and a dozen different factions endeavoring to set up govern menta, there is no head er representative body to deal with. To overcome this, and with a view to bringing about an all -Russian government, Premier Her den, of Canada, proposed that the var- ious parties in Russia be asked to ap- point delegates to a conference to meet on Princes' Island in the Black Sea, about February 15th, with • a view to coming to a mutual understanding. The proposal appears to have looked good to every body but the Russians amen; whom antagonisms appear to be so acute and hitter that one will have nothing to do with the other. The moderates re- gard the Bolsheviki as a pack of mad dogs --mere robbers and murderers --, but the ll slsheviki appear to have the advantage in physical force, and that is the force which at present counts in Ituseii. SAVING We remember readiest a few years ago in, "the piping time ,ot peace," a little ess y on "The Vice of -Sailing." In that t essaythe tenter pointed' mi -the very had a ect it had upon the minds P►f children to teach them to save their pennies--- they became so meson and coni -fascia am so acking to Mat 'free, o hand spirit which makes "money go around," Ks to be soarcee:y (item -nista -it to-i-c►r of their kind. 'Ile had lost sight of the fact, that there might he a vice of spend- ing as well as a vice of saving, and that paving practised in tnoderatinn is a virtue very necessary in a`bitiligdd coti. munity,' If' in his early days Henry Ford had spent his money po fine clothes and in having a good time, the Ford automo- bile plant, enaptoying its thirty thous and men, never could have existed. 'It Timothy Eaton had been a spendthrift the business which bears his name would not have been built up. So, too, with every other business concern, big or little. For the carrying on of a busi- ness of any magnitude, capital is necee n- ary—and capital is tae result of savir g. It may be thought that there is a dif- ference atween saving to build up a business and saving to put money in the bank. There are those who think that money deposited in the banks lies idle there, as though it 'was hidden away in the proverbial stocking. Buts, that is not so. The savings of many accumul- ated in the banks_ make up large sums which ata loaned "outto enterprising men., who build big factories, or rail- roads, work mines, .or farms. A com- amunity which regarded saving, as a vice,,.. and where all small earnings were spent - in trifling amusements, would be ser- iously handicapped in a business way. The small depogif?,r not un'y provides for his'owufututh.tut.belpu to build up the business of the country at the same time. Besides, the habit of saving is itself a good thing when not carried to the ex- tent of miserliness, which is the anrpose less saving of cue while he lives in pov- erty and misery: The Canadian Government's "War- Sa%va;,is plan" presents a good oppor- tunity to those who can save only a small sum at a time. The 25c which' otherwise might be spent foolishly or even harmfully if invested in a "War - Saving Stamp," increased in value as time goes by, will be very useful when the inevitable "rainy day" cones; ' and in the meantime it will help in carrying on the business of the country—huild- hag or improving government railroads or canals, erecting- the new Parliament Buildings, or getting the soldiers home from Europe and having them'.. enter again upon the work of civil life. HEAVY USERS OF PAPER The people of Canada and the United States are the greatest users of paper in the world, the United Stated being some- what in ' the lead. That country has about one fifth of the population of the world, and it consumes one-half of the world's production of paper. In pro- portion to population, C-tnada is a close rival in the matter of paper consump- tion. The newsp.ipers of the United Sates use two million tons of newsprint each yeas.r.

Too Nervous'- To Sleep Nerves Wrecked by Accident — Was Afraid to. Go in a Orowd or to Stay Alone—Tells Of His Cure. Much sympathy was felt in this city for Mr. Dorsey, who met with a dis- tressing accident when his foot was smashed in an elevator. The shock to the nervous system was so great that Mr. Dorsey was in a pitiable condition for a long time. He was like a child in that he re- quired his mother's care nearly all the time. He feared a. crowd, could not stay alone and could not sleep because of the ,weakened and excited condition of hie nerves. Detroit doctors did what they coined for him, but he could not get back hie strength and vigor until he fortunate- ly heard of Dr. Chase's Nerve Food. :t is no mere accident that Dr. Chase's Nerve Food proves to be ex- actly what is needed in so many cases of exhausted nerves. It' is composed of the ingredients which nature re- I quires to form new blood and create s new nerve force. For this reason it I cannot fail and for this reason it sue:, ceeds when ordinary medicines fall. Mr. Laurence E. Dorsey, 89 Stanley street, London. Ont., writes : "About three years ago I got my foot smashed in an elevator in Detroit, which com- pletely wrecked my nerves. I doc- tored with the doctors there, hut they did not seem to be able to help me. My nerves were in such a state that I t could not go down town alone or go , any place where there was a crowd. Sometimes my mother would have to sit -and Watch over me at night, and sometimes I oould not -get any sleep at all.
