AUTONOMY.
The Toronto News has the peculiar
notion that Canadians should think
less of preserving "local autonomy"
when the Prime Minister is "securing
an extension of Canadian authority—
so that in the yearn to come the
Dominion will have a voice in the con-
trol of imperial affairs."
How can anyone who understands
the value of self-government imagine
that the privilege of interfering in
other people's affairs is any compensa-
tion for the loss of any portion of
the right of controlling his own
affairs without outside intertereuce ?
ant eatw,t. selliketreseuseet, deals
able beeease It kieellsss government.
because it is home rule, because it'
plates the powers of government in
the hands of those who, being them-
selves of the governed, thoroughly
understand and appreciate the condi-
tions under which their powers are to
be exercised. Nobody who appreci-
ates the value of se)t-government
wishes to interfere in the government
of others. To secure "a voice in the
control of Imperial affairs" is in no
sense a compensation for loss of local
autonomy in the slightest degree.
Whether Canadians desire to have
"a voice in the control of Imperial
affairs" is questionable. There can
hardly be any question, in the light of
the history of the past ceutut y, that
they do desire the 'flaked measure of
self-government.
Canadians should be on their guard
against the designs of politicians who,
like The Toronto News, would barter
Canadianiam Ger s little Imperialist
glory or a sorry bit of political suc-
cess.
PI^,TURE SHOWS.
The Montreal Herald bas been con-
sidering the value of moving pictures
in education, and comes to this rather
unfavorable conclusion :
It is not to he questioned seriously
that the kioen& can be used for edu-
cational purposes, but it is very seri-
ously to be questioned whether mov-
ing picture shows are any better than
a public nuisance. Montreal is plenti-
fully supplied with them, and a visit
to one of them made at random justi-
fies every criticism made against
therm. Current events in foreign
countries play scarcely anv part in
inq$ shows. On the other band
maudlin sentiment is rampant.
Apart from the effect which these
shows by injuring the better class
theatres ars having on the art of
drama, they must eventually hurt the
mentality of the people. A nation
brought up on the present class of
moving picture shows would be a vul-
gar and immoral aggregation of dis-
reputable nincompoops.
The Herald's objection, it seems, is
to the kind of pictures shown in Mont-
real, and the obvious reply to its criti-
cism is that, instead of denunciation
of moving picture shows. there (Mould
be an effort to secure an improvement
in the class of pictures.
it is much to be doubted if the
people who frequent the moving pic-
ture
iature shows of Montreal, or of any
other place we know of, go with the
idea of being educated. %bat they
want is an usement and recreation.
And nothing higher is in the minds of
most theatre -goers. The success of
the picture shows is due to the foot
that they give the people what they
want—amusement and recreation—Ior
lees money than the theatre. do.
The immense popularity of the pic-
ture
io-ture shows places a great responsibU-
ity upon those who manage these
shows for the manner In which they
cater to the public. Because they are
so largely patronised, the picture
.tows should be vigorously purged of
everything that Is not wholesome, and

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Of course, nobody'. grumbling
about the weather.
Why should (ioderich not have a
flower show in August as some ether
Ontariotowne have?
Maritime Province Liberals had &
big demonstration last week and
talked reciprocity. Another proof of
the Tory claim that "reciprocity 1s
dead."
It's dollars to doughnuts that even
in superloyal Toronto there are a hun-
dred people concerned In the baseball
score to every one who is worrying
over "the German peril."
Mr. Boden as to receive a deputa-
tion of sutfragettee in England. Per-
haps he will tell them that in Canada
the women folks have only to ask for
what they want and they get it.
The Montreal sitar, like Col, Sam.
Hughes, is quite sure about "the Ger-
ruao menace." Well. let Col. Hughes
and the editor go over to Germany
and put a atop to it. And say, boys,
don't hurry back.
The Toronto Exhibition is on and is -
drawing big crowds. Ina few weeks
our own great fair—the Goderich In-
dustrial Exhibition—will be claiming
attention. Remember the dates —
September 18, 17 and 18—and help
boost.
In spite of labor difficulties, Great
Britain'[, trade for the first six months
of 191.2 showed an increase over the
figures fop the first half of 1911, which
were the highest on record. Britain's
tariff agitators are working under a
serious handicap.
The old tradition. that if it rains on
flit. Swithin's Day it will rain every
day thereafter fee . forty days, has
been knocked out. St. Swithin's Dd>r
this year was July 15, end it did not
rain on more than thirty-nine of the
followigg forty days.
It is now regarded as probable that
Hon. Winston Churchill will not come
to Canada to make a campaign on the
navy question. We should all like to
see the brilliant young statesman;
but to stay at home just now is the
moot brilliant thing he could do.
The world seems to be palming
through awetspell. In Great Britain
the crops lie rotting iD the fields, the
farmers being unable to complete the
harvest owing to the incessant rains.
From other European a ud from Asiatic
countries come reports of flood and
damage from an oversupply of rain.
President Taft has signed the Pan-
ama Canal bill. against the protests of
many of the most prominent public
journals of his own country. There
were some who thought that Mr.
Taft's sense of honor would prevent
him from joining the Houses of Con-
gress in their repudiation of national
obligations ; but the exigencies of elec-
tion yearetwere too much for him. It
will be some time before any traffic
will pass through the canal, and in
the meantime something may be done
to clear the situation.
Believing that Horace Greeley's
famous words of advice to young men
have had sufficient vogue, Mayor
Thorp of Guelph thinks that "'Stay
East, young man," shculd now be the
motto. tie has just returned from a
trip to the Coast and declares that the
Western speculators have shoved up
the price of land away beyond the
real values, and that Ontario people
ought to invest in property in their
own Province. His advice to young
men js: "If you have • comfortable
position in Octario, stay East."
The Ottawa Citizen --a Conservative
journal—states that it has been dis-
covered in the United States that s
tariff board may very easily he used
to block the path of progress. From
reosnt events in the neighboring
country 4It le a safe inference," says
The Mien. "that the board is In eoa-
trol of those who do not desire any
tariff revision." Phis exactly confirms
one of the most serious objections of
those who oppose the creation of a
tariff hoard in Canada. It would
simply be another prop of the protec-
tion system.
While Germany is pteparing (ac-
cording to the alarmists) to strike at
Britain. Bomar Law. the leader of the
Colonist party. is preaching rank..di-
tion which, if Ms words were to to
taken seriously. might ensile result la

Complaints aro again being made of
the Preachifying of the Puetofoe De -
;tinsel under the adeilnistration of
Pelletier, one at the Nationalists
la the Borden Cabinet. In some
cases, it appear'., even in Ontario of-,
noea. it fs impossible to nectars foams
for po.toflloe business except those
which are printed in French ; and the
pmectloe of turnlag English names of
postofMoe. into French is being con-
tinued. But Ontario, which helped so
largely last Septewt.r in placing Mr.
Pelletier in office, has not much right
to complain.
The Montreal Star has "navy" on
the brain. It sets forth that it is de-
sirable there should be no party
wrangling in Canada over the question
of assistance in naval defence: but it
goes on to dictate the exact line of
policy for which harmony is desired,
sod if it cannot have its way, right to
the line, it doe. not care about the
harmony. We do not see anything
for It but to appoint the editor of The
Star Canadian naval adviser to the
British Admiralty, give him all the
money he asks for, and let him spend
it in any way he, pleases without *w-
ing asked any questions.
Guelph ie short on houses. Strange
that in almost every Canadian city
the supply of dwellings is not equal to
the demand.—Hamilton Times.
Perhaps it is not so strange when
one remembers that the tax collector
are empowered to flne every person
who is sufficiently progressive to en -.-
ploy hi. money in building houses and
making other Improvements. If the
assessment system were changed to
discourage the bolding of -vacant land
and to encourage building, by taking
the taxes off improvements, we should
hear less of the shortage of houses.
The Christian Guardian—the organ
of Methodism in Canada—has sadly
disappointed The Orange Sentinel by
bluntly refusing to join ID the crusade
for a, Desgittion' ' law. Thi
Guardian says.:. "We o.pnot bring
ourselves to believe that such a Fed-
eral law is a possibility, nor can we
think that if it were achieved by the
process of tedious and bitter agitation.
as it would have to be 91 wold be
worth all to us that The Sentinel
seems to think it would." The ne
temere decree has no legal standing
in Quebec, and, says The Guardian,
"there does not seem to us a ghost of
a chance that it ever will have." This
little disagreement may perhaps help
The Sentinel to understand that it
doe* not reprdbent Protestant opinion
in Ontario as it seems to think it does.
The Owen Sound Advertiser says
the people of that town, in common
with the inhabitants of other Ontario
towns, "are confronted theme days by
two evils, between which it is hard to
choose—department stores and West-
ern town -fol.." The department store
and the Western town -lot boomer
both ask you to pay out your money
for something you have not seen, and
to take the chance of its being up to
advertisement. The Advertiser ad-
vises similar treatment in the two
cases. People can buy their store
goods at home from people that they
know, and see them before they pay
tor them. And, if they want to buy
land, they can refuse to deal with any-
one whom they cannot trust, or, if
they do not care to trust any land
agent, they can make a personal in-
vestigation of the property offered foe
sale or get some reliable person to
make the investigation for them.
