v--H- __ The province is now in the midst of a provincial elect- ion and during the next few weeks the contest will undoubt- edly “warm up.” It would need to because up to the presâ€" sent public interest in the announcement cannot be said to be very keen. It came as somewhat as a surprise although it has been moo‘ted for many months and Mr. Sinclair, leadâ€" (I of the opposition has established himself as a reliable political prophet, as he predicted this appeal early as the commencement of the last session. The seventeenth Assembly is dissolved after laboring for three periods totalling about six months. It may even be said it was dissolved in tears because private members undoubtedly looked for a fourth session and another indem- nity. But Mr. Ferguson is said to be somewhat of an auto- crat around Queen’s Park and he saw political advantage in having the election on October 30th and so the die is cast. There are now 112 vacant seats in the Legislature. Our former representative is now just plain Mr. Henry, of North York township, Mr. P. W. Pearson, is a.Newmarket business man and Mr. Macauley who formerly represented South York is a barrister of the city of Toronto. Even Mr. Ferg- uson is no longer the member from Grenville. There are no longer M.L\.A.’s and it is for the people to say with their mun“ mim w1ll hang their hats in the legislative halls in former representative is now just plam 1York township, Mr. P. W.

No doubt between now and October voters will have the different platforms them by platform speakers and political majority however will read the newspap the gold from the dross, glean the facts 7 __.,]:v.~l.v propvoganda LIQUOR AND THE ELECTION Despite the assertions of political leaders with a great section of the electorate at least, the question of the legisâ€" lation regarding liquor will be a paramount issue. Under the present government the Liquor Control legislation was enacted and the Conservative party responsible for the Act received a large proportion of public support on the issue at the last election. As we pointed out at the time of the last vote many sincere temperance people supported the Conser- vative candidates with the firm belief that probably a sys- tem of government control would be an improvement on the O.T.A. which had been in force and admittedly had some deâ€" fects. Even a short trial however has shown that under. Government Control the consumption of liquor has reached tremendous proportions in this province. The election is held just one day before the end of the fiscal year when the returns of the Liquor Control Board'could be compiled, how- ever it has been estimated that the business of the Governâ€" ment Liquor Stores for the past year will amount to someâ€" where about seventy-five millions of dollars. This estimate is alarming to temperance supporters of the Ferguson ad- ‘ministration and it Will not be surprising if in large numb- ers they vote to put the reins of government in other hands. Leaders of the Government appealing to the country for a mandate may protest that the liquor question is not an isâ€" sue, but a great body of the electorate will insist that it is an issue and will no doubthvote accordingly. ~h~b~vsles<>k [AGE TWO DAYLIGHT SAVING Richmond Hill and other suburban centres following the lead of Toronto revert to Standard time on Sunday next. The announcement that we will discontinue Daylight Saving Time reminds us all that for the past several months we have been saving daylight. This is a fact which many people refuse to believe and many still declare the idea a foolish fad and loudly protest this annual tampering with the clock. The idea is declared an unqualified success by those who enjoyed it,.and is equally condemned by those who see no merit in it. Many who are completely “sold on the idea differ as to the length of time it should be in force but in this district Whether we like it or not we must be WM-” "1 4-,. kn :nnnonnod hv the City of Toronto.

A recent estimate places the aggreâ€" gate number of motor vehicles in the Dominion at 1,076,819. Only three countries exceed Canada in heavier density of motor cars, namely, United States, with one for every 5.11 persons; Hawaiian Is- lands 7.9 persons, and New Zealand 8.0 persons. The New England conscience got busy recently in a small town in Massachusetts ,When a resident mailed back anonymously to the maitre d‘hotel of the Royal York, Toronto, 3. package of spoons, ser- viettes and dining room “sundries” borrowed some time previously. The writer, in returning the articles to Monsieur Maillard, the maitre, said: “My conscience has been both- ering me a great deal since and I have been unable to keep them any longer." The Stoney Indians, Alberta, cannot be said to be a “vanishing race,” for while the section of the tribe living on the Nordegg reserve was making a. two-week trek to at- tend the annual Indian pow-wow at Banff, four babies were born. Moth- ers and childTen are all healthy and well. Last spring a man came into the C. P. R. ticket office on Sparks street, Ottawa, for a. ticket to Leonard where he had a. job. He was five cents shy on his fare, but the railway gave him a ticket any- way. The other day a man in overalls walked into the Sparks street office and said: “I owe you five cents on a ticket; here it is.” Hon. Chas. Stewart, Minister of the Interior, who has been flying over the Rocky Mountains recently. announced at Banff that the buf- falo herd there will be augmented shortly by addition of animals spe~ cially selected from the herds at Wainwright and Elk Island.
