' This application came before a com­ mittee of the Lords consisting of Vis­ count Maugham, Lord Wright, and . Sir George Rankin—all members of • the Privy Council. The official notes of the Proceedings of this committee ‘ have arrived in Canada, They disclose ( opinions expressed by their Lord­ ships touching the attitude of the On­ tario Government. Mr. Gahan, solic- ; itor for the temperance bodies, had . pointed out that a previous decision of the Privy Council had established the validity of the Canada Temperance Act and that the recent decision of the Supreme Court of Ontario had concurred in that judgment and that the Supreme Court of Canada had previously decided that the Canada ! Temperance Act is in force in the ar­ eas concerned. Mr. Gahan also in­ formed the committee that his clients had offered to consent to postpone-' nient provided the Ontario Govern­ ment would consent to accept the status of the law as established by these cases and enforce it pending the hearing of the appeal. ■Said Viscount Maugham: “I do not understand that. The law is what it is, what the Courts at the time have de­ cided for the area which is within their jurisdiction.” Mr. Gahan pointed out that in es­ tablishing beer-rooms in Canada Temperance territory the Government of Ontario was committing ‘a crimin­ al offence’ and for substantiation fact referred to certain statements the brief of the Attorney-General Ontario. Said Viscount Maugham: “If that is unlawful, if he is acting unlawfully, there are means of checking it. I sup­ pose the Constitution of Canada and the Courts of Canada are still in op­ eration.” Mr. Gahan again pointed out that under the British North America Act the enforcement of law including No­ nunion law is in the hands of the At­ torney-General of the provinces and that he could deelde whether prose­ cution should proceed or not. . Said Lord Wright: “Has it ever been held that that entitles anyone to act unlawfully?" Said Viscount Maugham: “The de­ cision of the'Supreme Court of Can­ ada is binding on everybody until it is reversed, if it ever is reversed. It is binding and people have to obey the order; they have to take that view of the law,” Lord Wright: “We cannot believe that the Attorney-General of Ontario would deliberately defy it.” Viscount Maugham: “We are in a peculiar position. That matter (the Attorney-General’s action) is not be­ fore us. It sounds to me rather sur­ prising that he should disobey the law if that is what he is doing.” He then put the case in a supposititious form such as might, in the absence of war, arise from delay. “You would come to us and Say: “This fellow is breaking the law’.” Perhaps you would put it more res­ pectfully than that; but we would have to say. “We can hardly credit or believe it; we regret it very much. Everybody should comply with the law but we cannot help it. The ap­ peal will ultimately come before us and we shall give such advice to His Premier Hepburn stated on one oc­ casion to a large deputation’ that even if the Privy Council sustained the Canada Temperance Act, his govern­ ment would not enforce it but that he would withdraw his officers and leave the areas without any liquor law en- forccement whatever. The present At- I torney—General did not originate the trouble. In coming into office he ac­ cepted the existing situation and in­ stead of bringing his judicial intelli­ gence to bear on the matter he has simply acted in harmony with the spirit and understanding of his chief. How far Mr. Hepburn understands the nature of our British institutions, hpw thoroughly he grasps the spirit of British judicature> how clearly he comprehends, how much he values the essential principles of representative government according to the British tradition, we leave the reader to dis­ cover if he can.-—Advt.

PHIL OSIFER OF LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J. Boyle “WINTER PREPARATIONS'’ There’s something about the first snow of Fall that makes you want to lazy around and think about days gone past. Today for instance when that splashy rain started, only to change into snow, it was most enjoy­ able to sit in the rocker and toast my shins in the heat of the kitchen range, A cartoon by J. R, Williams pictur­ ing a father and son geeting the cut­ ter ready for winter seemed most timely. How well I can remember that first day of winter! The coming of snow was an event of gemiine importance. On Saturday morning we hustled out and spread the driving shed doors far agape, Father on his way to the barn for mid morning chores would stop and squint inside and ask gruffly, "What are you doingF The answer was, "Just getting the cutter ready lor winter.” His answer would always be, “Well, you take it easy for a while today; finest ant^-^kes v . •nethEV'ot'd Asati8fec“ v,uv- .<Wue<» eStatten’X^n<i . .to 'roD,x>t°r * w^teD*e- , youtboine^---------------------------- MacLean Lumber & Coal Co. PHONE 64 w Kt LISTEN to "THE SHADOW" .. . CFRB, Tues., 8.30 p.m., CKCO, Tues., 9.00 p.m., CFRC, Thurs., 8.00 p.m. because this sno'w isn't going to'last'.”. In spite.of that, however, he would come inside and look around for a while. Soon Father would be working with us in cleaning out the cutter. Stove­ pipes and pictures ond old picture frames. Ice skates dangled over the dash-board with strings of dried on­ ions. A set of single harness draped over the seat. A grain bag with wheat in it, used for feeding the chickens, crowded in beside the pile of leaky milk pans that Father was supposed to take to the tinsmith for repairing. Father’s hat which Mother made him quit wearing and which he refused to throw away. A fanning mill sieve with a hole in it. Several pairs of old sho.es worn beyond all hope of repair. Old oil cans . , and horseshoes . , and pickle jars. A wheelbarrow wheel and a snowshovel. It didn’t seem possible that so much could be piled into an ordinary cutter, The strange part of it all was the fact that the accumulated goods al­ ways seemed to be piled in the buggy. That seemed like the best way in which to get rid of it. If the snow melted and faded away as it so often does at. .the beginning't.of .-the: season, we just had to do-'Without a means of travel until the snow came to say. The broody hens always seemed to like the buggy for making their nests in. It seems like yesterday that Spring when the snow suddenly melt­ ed and left the bare ground. My aunt from the city was visiting with us and Mother wanted to ’drive her to the station. There was a rush job of cleaning out the buggy and piling it over into the cutter. Mother and her sister drove sedate­ ly in to town and down Main Street. They stopped in front of the Murphy Emporium while Mother went in to make a purchase. She was quite in­ dignant at the laughing of the town loafers on the steps in front of the old hotel and drove on down to the station. " There was fifteen minutes to go un­ til train time and when the station ag­ ent offered to tie up the horse she accepted gladly. He went around to the back to get the halter, and started laughing. There, peering out from un­ der the back lid that had .a broken support which tilted it up, was a hen, looking put with amazement at the surroundings. Further investigation, disclosed a nest under the seat and. the hen had to be tied up and shoved out of sight. Mother was mortified,, and Father and the boys were under fire all night. Next day we had to clean the driving shed up, dispose of the junk and hang up the other artic­ les on nails on the driving shed walls. That to my memory was the only time the driving shed was ever really cleaned up. BORN BRECKENRIDGE—In Morris Town­ ship, on Friday, November 8th, to Mr. and Mrs, Lee Breckenridge, a daughter.
