Before our next issue the Dominion Elections will be over and \it is the duty of every citizen to exercise the fran- chise and go to the polling booth on Tuesday, September 14. This is a time, however, for clear thinking, not for self alone, not for the particular industry with which we are identified, but for thinking along national lines, to bring out the best for Canada as a whole. The day, on which Canadians must declare themselves draws near. There is yet time, however, to sum up the sit- uation to your own satisfaction; there is yet time for each of us to decide definitely to accept the privilege and perform the duty of casting the ballot. To vote is a duty and a priv- ilegeâ€"and sometimes it is more of a duty than a privilegeâ€" and this may be one of those times. Let us have a record vote polled in this district. A de- cisive result, so essential for progress cannot be obtained in any other way. Meighen'Can’t Win The earnest desire of every independent elector in the Dominion in that on Tuesday next a party will be returned to power with sufficient majority to give this country stable government. The question next arises which of the two historic parties has the broadest appeal and therefore is most likely to win. An independent survey of the country reveals the truth of the slogan, “Meighen Can’t Win.” A prominent Tory has been out West sizing things up politically and his report brings no balm to Tory wounds. “There is no hope for Toryism here” is his official report. _ Every indication from the Maritime Provinces points to sub- stantial Liberal gains. The Liberals in the last election were hampered by long existing Liberal governments in the Provincial sphere. Tory government had taken their place and those governments had promised much. They told the people that the fish catch would be greater, and the market more abundant; that the/roads would be improved, worn smooth by the feet of returning exiles; that the Gulf Stream shifting northward at Tory command would soften the stern rigors of the winter climate, that rains would be abundant in summer, and crops beautiful, but unfortunately nature took its course, and nothing would change, And now fol- lows the reaction. The chickens, coming home to roost, are tired with their late hours and riotous conduct; those who were with them are suffering from resulting indigestion; the scenes are changed, and Liberalism stands to gain five or six seats in the Maritime Provinces. Quebec will not listen to promises of Meighen and Patenaude. They are deeply interested in the constitutional issue. They turn out to political meetings; politics is in the blood of our fellow citizens of French extraction, and it is Liberal policy that appeals to them. Whatever happens on the 14th, there is no present sign of the slightest break whatever in the province of Quebec. The situation in Ontario will show a marked change. This province is very responsive to altered conditions. The Robb budget has worked marvels in the province of Ontario. The stronghold which it has on the people is shown at every meeting. When the name is mentioned by a Tory at a pubâ€" lic meeting the audience applauds. The reduction in the duty on automobiles has been a telling factor. The people too, have been rather stunned by the fact that the industry gives visible evidence of forward impulse of new conditions. Industry is thriving, unemployment is unknown and people appreciate that the administration of the affairs of the Dom- inion has been carried on in a business-like manner. From coast to coast the trend of public opinion is un- doubtedly towards Liberalism and according to all the s1gns of the times the Liberal party will be returned to power with a working majority on Tuesday next. 1“. r ' Sifton Will Win ’ " North York is worthy of the very best representation possible. North York has been fortunate in having as rep- resentatives in the past, many illustrious and distinguished statesmen. North York on Tuesday next will make amends for the mistake made in October last when representation by a'Premier was sacrificed for representation by a back- bencher. Rt. Hon. W. L. M. King speaking at Newmarket on Tuesday paid sincere tribute to the character and ability of Harry Siftdn and the electors of North York Will pay tribute to his character and ability on Tuesday next by electing him as their representative in the Federal Parlia- ment. The Customs Service There need be no fear of the way in which the smuggling situation will be handled if the Liberal Government is re- turned to oflice. The housecleaning which was begun by the Liberals will be continued by them. Ther is no room for doubt concerning the earnestness and the sincerity with which the late Hon. G. H. Boivin had undertaken to bring about the reforms needed within the department. reforms needed because of conditions which had their origin dur~ ing the Conservative regime and which had been perpetuat~ ed largely by Conservative ofiicials appointed by Conscrva~ tive governments. The only criticism which his opponents had been able to bring against the administration of the late Mr. Boivin reâ€" lated to his action in the Moses Aziz case. In that case, he granted a stay of sentence until he could hear representa~ tions on behalf of the accused. doing so upon the advice of Conservative department oiiicials. Few men would have acted otherwise. His personal attitude was revealed by his refusal to do more. and Aziz went to jail to serve his sentence. The Liberal government had granted ex cry request of the Commercial Protective Association. had co-opm‘atozl with that organization in every way, had voted large sums of money for the purpose of pi'i’iseeuting the war against the smugglers. had strengthened Iii) laws against smugglâ€" ing and had undertaken a searching investigation into the irregularities and worse which had irept into the depart- Went. preparatory to sweeping out ofiiiials who had Vini't‘d unfaithful to their trust and whose laxity and veniality had made possible the enlargement of organized smuggling op- â€".â€".â€"_ . erations.

The school work which until very 'recently was done directly under the Health Centre Staff covers all of the services usually supplied in this nec- essary department of preventive med- icine and in addition attractive health posters were placed in every classâ€" room throughout the Municipality and prizes were given by the Provincial Health board for the best health pos- ter each year. This year school medical inspection has been now put under a medical officer and is not done under the dir- |ect supervision of the Centre but there is co-ordination of effort and co-opera- tion of aim and method.
