WHAT OTHERS SAY.
Children Not Overworked.
aowmanvilte Staiesm tn.
We heartily agree with Editor Hale of
Orillia Packet that children are not over-
worked either at school or home. Over-
worked children are rare, indeed. The
greater danger hes in idleness and indul-
gence. Youth is the time for teaching
habits of'ndustry and laying foundation
of character and usefulnese. In cities and
towns a thousand times more injury is
done children by late hours, eating un-
wholesome Good. irregular meals. evil
associations and lack of parental dis-
cipline generally than by overstudy.
What the British Did.
Family He -aid and Weekly Star.
There is still an impression in many
countries, notably the U. S.. that while
(Britain's effort in the war was great It
could not compare with the superb
achievements of France. at any rate on
land. And the idea persists that France
made a far greater sacrifice in human live*.
The cold facts published by The Round
'Fable will help to knock this illusion on
the head. The British Empire contributed
$,.154,447 troops. est whom 4,016,15S came
from the United Kingdon The total ca-
netties of the Empire were 3.037,111,4 men,
of whom 2.45.1.2ft1 were from the United
Kingdom. France had 2,138,11() and
Italy 1,9.37,000 casualties. while ,the
United States hid 264,9W4. The popnl•
ation of France before the war wee about
forty million. while that of the United
Kingdom was some two and a -quarter
million more. so that the percentage of
killed and wounded to the total pop-
ulation was larger in the forces of the

Duty of the National Government
Toronto Won i t
President Wilson. his administration,
including the Attorney -General and a Con-,
greesi.nal committee, are grappling with
the all absorbing problem pre,ented by
the high coat of living in the united
States. Some relief must be afforded,
and the people properly look to the
nazi mal G ,veru m rat.
In Canada the cast of living is higher
than in the United Stairs. and our
people are likewise demanding drastic
action by the Government at Ottawa. At
the last session of Parliament laws were
passed to prohibit and punish profiteering
and combinations in restraint ot trade.
A bard of commerce was also created
with powers to search for the causes of
high prices and to uncover the comoite-
aters and profiteers.
The members of this board have not
yet been appointed and no one can say
put when it will be fully organized and
commence work. The sooner the better. '
The board can at east illumine many
dark p1 ices by the searchlight of public-
ity. Unfortunately the board has not
power to enforce its own decrees: nor can
N launch any criminal proceedings. When
they -find that profiteering is going on in
this or that commodity and that illegal
combinations undu:y enhance. the cost of
living they have under the taw no other I
function than to report their findings with
the evidence t.t the Attorney General of -1
the Province wherein the offender resides
and the offence is being.conimitted.
The Government of Canada will do
nothing' No provision is made for tfe
Department of Ju rice to begin or carryon
criminal proeet;ut.ons 1 he -buck- is
passed to the Various I'r ivincial Govern-
ments. and the Federal Government
washes it. hands 01 all reepon,ibility.
'TIM W.,rld believe; in Federal enforce-
ment of Feder:t. law;. It is a play to say
that it the Federal Government punishes
profiteering it mutt also prosecute and
=argon
who commits any crime
from argon t.) shup:iftin.t. The U. S
Government prosecutes a number of
offenders'tgainst the law. hat leaves the
ordinary admin strattort of ai conal
justice to the various St ate..
Our Government at Ottawa should
enforce the law against combines and
profiteertnes just as it enforces the laws
against counterfeiting. misuse of the
mails and frauds in the nubli. revenu-. It
can do these things without interfering
with the ordinary administration of
Criminal justi..e by the Provincial Govern-
ments It will have to do this under
penalty of hearing in ria uncertain way
from the people of Canada.
A natoanal evilmust be corrected by
the national Government.
The high cast of living represents a
nation-wide cimdition. and in some cases
a nation-wide conspiracy It must be
grappled with hy the Dominion Govern-
ment just is it is being grappled with in
the United States by the Wilson Govern-
ment. Passing the buck to the Provin-
cial Governments will nut meet the
situation.

0. W. S. RAILWAY AFFAIRS.
Asbaeld Stands Out molest Appeal in
Lawsuit.
A meeting of representatives .of the
municipalities of Gudench. 'Ashfied,
Huron and Kincardine was held at the
town halt on Zicntday of last week for the
consideration of affairs connected with
the old (huauu • We -t Shore Railway.
Godernch was represented by Mayer
Wigle. Reeve Davis and Deputy Ree. -e
Clark A>hlie,d by Reeve Jos. Dalton and
Deputy Re ve Hackett, Huron township
by Reeve G. H. Ruttle and Deputy
Reeve Robert Lewis. and Kincardine by
Counci lir F. E. Coombe. Mr. C. A. '
Reid was in the chair. and Mr. Thos.1
Stothers of Dungannon, trustee of the,
Railway Company, and Mr. ' Wm.
Proudloot. K. L. aiso were present.
A peculiar feature of the meeting was''
that the two most important questions
were settled by minority vote. On the
question of entering an appeal in the ac-
tion at law against the Toronto General
Trusts Corporation, the Guderich. Kin -
catcher and Huron representatives had
been instructed to tauter an appeal to ALL'
THE mita Mt 11..IPALIT(ES were agreed
in the mater. The Ashfield men ware in-
st-uctedszain.r an appeal. ani because all;
were not agreed the views of Otte munici-
pality prevailed aver th ase o` the other!
three. Reeve D thou admitted that Ashfield
"might be making a mistake." but he
was ball' toy the resolution of t s town- ;
stip council.
Then. with retard to the disposition of
the moneys from the sale of toe' material
of the anandnned railway th-ee of rhe
municipalitie- were agreed that this
matey. white it shouid- be left in the
hands of the Toronto General Trusts Cor-
i poxation for a period of five years,
should be inverted in 1) 'minion of Can-
, ada bonds. to yield not less than 53,4,' per
cent, net. Huron township did not agree
to this, and according to the special Act
passed by the Legislature the Ontario
R;%ilway and Municipal Board.ui case of
( disagreement decides as to the disposi-
tion of the funds.
Trustee Stothers had a statement from
the Trusts CorpIratian showing that the
' moneys in its hands on account of the
0. W. S. Railway amounted to over
'$139.000. 1t the money tie -e lett with
' the Corpxauon far a period of five years
five and one-half per cent. int. -rest wou d
be.allowed: if left lac the currency of the
I bonds—that is. until July 1st. 11135 -five
per cent. would be al owed. The Cory
ation would charge no commission if the,
money were left in its hands, but it the
money were placed otherwise the Corpot-
ation would charge the usual commission.
Mayor Wigle eV cd out against acceding
1) this proposition. desiring that the
• Trusts Corporation should have as liter
as possible to do with the money. but the
failure to agree. as already stated. throws
i the matter into the hand, of the Railway
and Municipal Board.
A resolution was passed instructing the
l trustee to pay the law costs in connec-
'tion with the suit against the
Trusts Cep,ration. These amount
to some $I.400. against which
there is a setoff of $.330 for which judg-
ment was eecurrd to: the municipalities.
Reeve Davis thinks the people wouli
get a lot of satisfaction it J. W. Moyes.;
the wrecker of the railway. who disap
peared doting the investigation of the
Compeny''s affairs. could be lound and
dea't with. and he moved that a reward
of $2.000 be offered for the apprehension
of Moves. Some of the representatov-s
thought this would be a waste of money.
and the motion was lost on a tie vote. 4
