Editor KUITOHIAL NO'fES In British Colunibiii, a Doukhnljor has btH'n sent to jail for a t«ini on .account of thi'ft. Thi.H occurreiico is the mot*l remiirkablc ns it is oxtri-nu-ly rare for these iK-culiar i>eople to b« other than absolutely honest. It is of course true, that in a fit of reli(fi«us fanactism, a compnrntively few of the nukhobors, broke the law.s pf (U-ceni-y, by undertaking a piltfrimaKc in a dress- less condition, having reached th** coii- clusion that the end of the world wa.s at hand, and that it was expedient that thcv should not be hainpert'<l by such eurtlily babihment.s us ciothinK when .Hummoiled to leave this sublun- ary scene. A few of them, also set fire to their i^overnment provided school houses, in their desire to keep their children from what th'ey prof- essi-d to believe is the demoralization of the world by kno\vle(l^reI But it is now a good many years since the nude parade was abondoned with the kinilly persuasion of the Uoyal Canadian Mounted Police, and we now team that the sequel of the school burning outbreak is highly satisfac- tory to our old friend Hon. John Ol- iver, premier of Britisli Colunibiii. Ho took the ground that either the Douk- hobors shouhl obey the laws of the province, iind rebuild the four .sclumls that had been destroye<l by fire or should be deported from British Col- umbia and also C'anada. Upon the ad- vice of their siiiritual leader.. Peter Vercgin, .lun., who sociis to be a man of considerable "horse sense," the sect have not only constructed the four schools, bfit have increased their number to a total of seven, and have pledge<l themselves not to again at- tempt to prevent the education of their offspring. Conciliation as a policy, has once more triumphed. At least one deaf candidate in the present political contest! He has the distinct advantage that he never hears the intcrruplor, and goes pla- cidly on in his war of words. The worst accident of its kinil ever occurring in Toronto, happened tiiiii., when the Montreal-Chicago flyer struck a car at Scarboro Junction, and killed six Toronto people. One child, four years old escaped death. Election Notes and Questions Ceylon, October '-JO, ll»25 0(ir opponents nay that prices for farm products are higher in the l'..S. tban*Ticre l>ifause the U.S. shuts out our farm |>roducts, thus gutting the full benefit of the home market und that We must raise the tariff liigher asrain.st farm products from the Unit- <ti Slates to prevent the American shipping his products (at high freight ratji) from his own close and high- er priced nvurkel to our far away und low priced oiuv What sort of a fool does he lake the American fafmer foi*. Do you know that the U. S. is Canada's best customer absorbing 11.2' '< of all our expot-t$. Our ooponents say we should man- ufacture our pulp into paper in Can- ada â€" yet when the Australian treaty was signed to give an nxport market fur paper, our opiionents say it will ruin .Agriculture in this couij^ry be- cause farmers cannot compete with the hen and calf 10,000 miles away. Twenty-five years ago, British Col- umbia a|i|)lcs were reported to be wooden in fibre and almost tasteless. By careful cultivation, the fruit grow- ers of tile Pacific Province have now produced an apple that takes its place alongside the best Ontario var- iety, and the associated growers arc shipping half a dozen carloads of choice varieties a day for Great Brit- ain, GermaBy, .Sweden, and South Africa. Besides, they are supplying in ever-increasing (|uanlily, the wants of the Prairie Provinces. Ontario roust do away ftnth the dangerous tendency to let the orchards take care of themselves, and to overlook the fact that, like every other product. the best market for apples can only be obtained by the growers who look carefully after their tr('(;s, and mark- et the fruit in an attractive form. .\s the summer ends, the nunil«M' of detours from the chief liigli\v:i\ < do not seem to decrease. .*^urely the time will come, when these annoying di- versions will en<l. A Toronto candidate was the mean-i by a liberal expenditure of lime and money of having removed from llic voters' list in one division of tliiil city, over 0000 names of persons who had died and moved away, or could not be foimd anywhere. The lists were largely the same as those on which tlu' referendum in that city. ReH<lly no vote should Im- taken on Toronto li»ts that are not subjected to the most thorough purging. VOTK KAKI.Y TO MORROW, â€"S^yr OKTKN BIT At the ele^'enth hour, four wonvn were nominatd for seats in the Dom- inion House of ConimoiiH. Three are fighting in MnstituMicies where there are triangular contests, and iinly f)ne is likely to he elected. Oiu- rjwilcrs can guess who a^ well an Wo can. ' Two of the women candi- dntn* arc seeking seat.i in Ontario - one, .Miss Macphail. ex-.M.P.. in Grey and the 'other, a Indy divtor in Tor- onto. The Union Jack will continue ?•â-  â- wave over Canada, no matter what airsf'^ffotlon of politkians triu'iinh:- In to-mo- ow'ii flections. its, Amendments to the Bank Act, badly neded Branch I.,ine« in West- ern Canada, Prohibition of Liijuor in- to, exportation of liquor out of. and manufacture within a* dry province. Piohibltion of hand-book betting at race tracks. Do you know the .Senate u^i throw out Legislation that comes from the House of Communs as ofti^ii as they wish. Senators are [larty supporters and guardians of the interests of the priv^eged classes. In Canada tile House of Lo.-ds can only throw out Legislation sunt up by the Com- mons twice . The third time it be- comes law. \Vh\ cannot we follow the example set by, the Mother of Parl- iaments? The Late Mrs. Kerton If elected: I will maintain an independentV course between all Parties. I wMI support good legislation no matter what party introduces it. AGNES C. MACPHAIL Town Council By the way does any one know v.here the (Conservative Parly dropp- ed the British flag and Why? Sur- ely it cannot be that our friervds want to shut British go'ods out of our Canadian market when Great Bri- a'.ti absorbs '<i4.!i':'< of all our export- able goods. I thought they love<l the British Empire and wanted to bold it together. Do you know, Canada is, according to her population the second largest exporting country in the world, and irrespective of population the sixth largest exporting country in the ivorld? Do you our economists say our future prosperity lies along the line of further exportation not only of farm products but of manufactur-] ed goods as well? . > The Council of the Village of Flesh- erton met on Monday, the ."ith Oct., i 1925, at 8 o'clock p.m. I There were present the Reeve j and Messrs Inkster and Findlay, the Reeve in the chair.
