EDITORIAL NOTES.
The flat rate idea for Hydro power will
never strike a sharp note of popular
favor.—Toronto Globe.
Na in Toronto, anyway.
The Farmers Sun predicts a serious
crop shortage in Ontario this year, the
result of labor scarcity, combined with
the backward season.
A magistrate at Woodstock, having to
deal with two youthful burglars. gave
them suspended sentence. a condition
being that they stay at home every night
for a year. Does this come under the
head of reformation or of punishment ?
The Ontario Government has reduced
the proposed tax on racing to 17,500 a
day for one -mile courses and 12,500 a
day for half -mile courses. The public is
still anxiously awaiting a pronouncement
as :o whether there will be some special
dispensation for the "farmers' trot" at
the fall fair.
The pastor of one of the leading
churches of Toronto has resigil over a
dispute with the organist, whie com-
plains. occupies so much time with the
mu-ical service that he has to cut his
sermon down to twenty minutes. Good-
ness ! what does the man think people go
to Chilts-iir, anyway ?
"MN days of cheap newspapers are
ended," is the comment of a Toronto
editor on the increase in price of a Mont-
real daily from one to two cents a copy.
Yet when it is considered that a newspaper
can be procured for a whole year tor the
amount a man would spend in one night
at the theatre, or for the price of a few
gallons of gasoline, a newspaper is still
one of the cheapest things one can buy.

By a vote in the Legislature last week,
Ontario asks the Dominion Government '
to submit to a referendum the question
of the importation of liquor into this
Province. The prohibition laws already
on the statute book have' been found
defective in that they allow the bringing
in of liquor from outside the Province.
The Legislature cannot prohibit this im-
a
portation. but on a request from Prov-
inial Legislature the Federal Government
sill -grant a referendum, and on a favor-
able vote,will piss legislation shutting off

-When a man is born in Ireland, sure the
men that are so wise
Gather round and spriekle wisdom in the
little fellow's eyes:
And they give him power to do a thing

For his eyes can tell a false friend from
a real friend who is true.
When a man is born in irriand. sure, the
wits all leave their graves.
And they gather round his cradle and ,
become his willing slaves:
And they whisper humor to him. and
they let it soak in deep,
'Till the lucky little darling has to chuckle,
in his sleep.
When a man is born in Ireland. sure the
stars gaze througn his soul.
And they'll let him die a-bornin' if it
rsn't clean and whole:
And the angels sing an anthem as the
soul goes down to earth`
For they know the Lord just loves to hear
about an Irish birth.
Oh. lucky sons of Ireland, you are blessed
beyond compere,
Whatever Wit or Wisdom yields. in that
you're sure (0 share:
The saving sense of humor makes an
Irishman elate,
He'll pass a joke with Fortune, or he'I
throw a kiss to Fate.

Senator Reed. of Missouri, one of the
Democratic Senators who fought the
League of Nati ns, has been rejected by
hs State ccnven los as delegate to the
Democratic natmonalconvention at which
a Presidential candidate will be chosen.
The reason was that the fern icrats of
Missouri are wearied of being misrepre
sented by the blusterer, who on other
occasions has set up his opinions in pref-
erence to those of the people of his State.
The rebuff has -something more than,
local significance. it illustrates what
we have every reason for presuming,
nameh•, that the people of the l'mted
States believe in the League of Nations.
and are strongly of the opinion that
it should have been incorporated in the
treaty of peace without delay and without
bickering.
The way of the politicians in the United
States is not unlike that of the politicians
in other countries. Some of them are, as
The New York Times Says, merely can-
tankerous, others are cunning. others are
frankly honest. National sentiment
sooner or later makes itself felt. no matter
the politician. Some day will find the
United States a member of the League of
Nations in good standing,

material needs to be supplied, and if his
salary is not sufficient for the purpose
what is he to do but seek a position giving
a living wage ? When we make our

still giving the same amount as in the
