Numerous © applications have been made for the office of Postmaster of Waterloo made vacant by the death of the late George Diebel who held the position for a period of seventeen years or since 1905, In the filling of the posâ€" ition it is anticipated that the special qualiâ€" fications of applicants for the post rather than political considerations will govern. As has been pointed out the Union Government four years ago passed a new Civil Service Act which vested the power of appointment in all cases where the salary is more than $200 in the Civil Service Commission instead of the appointments being made on the recommenâ€" dation of the member of the riding in which the vacancy occurs. The appointment to the vacancy in the Waterloo post office will therefore be made by that body and the position filled on the ground of qualification for the duties of the office The proposal to submit the question of Daylight Saving to a vote of the citizens of Kitchener and Waterloo at New Years would appear to be a right move. It is understood that in the event of doing so the majority of the combined vote in both places, either in favor or against, would govern. Last year the fact that the two municipalâ€" ities were on different times not only disâ€" arranged household schedules and made for confusion but was generally unsatisfactory. A definite decision one wway or the other by unâ€" ited action on the part of both Kitchener and Waterloo would serve the best interests of both communities Efforts should be directed towards making â€"economic conditions in agriculture and in other industries such as to encourage desirable settlers to remain here. In connection with the discussion dh the question of Immigration of lite, it has been rightly pointed out that efforts should not alone be directed towards peopling our unocâ€" cupied lands with the most desirable types of immigrants but that conditions should be made so attractive as to retain here the settlers who are now in the country Records show that many settlers for one reason or another leave the country for other lands, quite a number of them being of a very desirable type. A farmer writing in the Farmers‘ Sun makes the following observations: "Let the governments, the agricultural and immigration departments concentrate their efâ€" forts on raising the economic standard of the industry. This can be done by lowering the duties on machinery used in production, and on all farm supplies It can be done by making judicious restrictions in the costs of trans portation. It can be done by greater develâ€" opment of our present markets and searching out new ones." . The Province of Quebec is stirred up over the decision of the Quebec Legislature which recently passed special legislature in order to put John H. Roberts, editor of the Axe, in jail for a year because of certain insinuations he made against two members of that body. The Axe recently charged that these two members were implicated in connection with the murder of Blanche Garneau who was found dead in a park in Quebec city. . As the honor of legislature was involved Mr. Roberts was brought before the bar of the House but he refused to give the names of the members he said were implicated and as no law could be found under which he could be punished, a special bill was introduced and passed. The action of the Legislature has been called into question as Roberts was found guilty without a trial, the legislature not waitâ€" ing for the report of the Royal Commission. Although little sympathy is felt for the editor of the Axe, which apparently caters to the sensational and morbid, the process by which he was sent to prison has not met with favor, Imuch adverse criticisp resulting from the THE WATERLOO POSTMASTERSHIP ~| One year, in advance RETAINING SETTLERS HERE EDITOR JAILED IN QUEBEC 67 " en en DAYLIGHT â€" SAVING. . k \, :‘.Qf s = 5 L ' â€" " :"‘, Cw ® mmmhmflz ty in || _> v Um British Columbia and the white people of that """"'"""'""""'m sEc province do not look with favor upon any moveâ€"| .

Naturally the people of British Columbia are becoming aroused over the question as the white population will, within a comparatively short ti;ne, be outnumbered if immigration is not restricted. any more Orientals being allowed to come into the province while the Victoria Colonist thinks that the question should be viewed from the broad standpoint as to how it affects the whole of Canada and the Empire. While favoring as many restrictions as possible it points out that British Columbia in itself cannot terminâ€" ate existing treaties and in determining the policy to be pursued it says there must be regard for fairness to the Oriental as well. One of the British Columbia papers, the Vancouver Province, is vigorously opposed to With vast stretches of territory still to be occupied in the West it is obvious that in migration is required to settle them if Canada is to grow and prosper to the fullest extent. At the same time it is essential that those who become citizens of this country be of such a character as can be readily assimilated. If we permit peoples from foreign countries who are intelligent, industrious and thrifty to be come settlers on our unoccupied lands provision should also be directed towards educating them to right ideals of citizenship.

Former Premier Clemenceau of France has been stirring up Americans by the candor of his utterances while on his present visit to that country His reminders that the great Republic to the south can do much towards reâ€" storing conditions in Europe are timely. Canadians generally will rejoice to learn of the outstanding success of Edward Johnâ€" ston, formerly of Guelph who on his initial apâ€" pearance with the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company, New York, was acclaimed as a singâ€" er of the first rank. Many citizens in Kitchener and Waterloo will recall his visit to the comâ€" munity last year when this world famous tenor captivated a capacity audience by his artistic achievements. With municipal nominations less than a month away there has been comparatively little heard regarding the possible nominees for the council and other public bodies From cerâ€" tain indications, however, there is likely to be a considerable number of candidates in the field and we may have a livelier election than anticipated. , It has been pointed out that for the first ten months of the year the entire imports of Canada of anthracite, including what came from Great Britain, amounted to 1,500,000 tons as compared with 3,800,000 tons for the same period last year. A normal year‘s supply of anthracite is 5,000,000 tons so that there is need on the part of every householder to conâ€" serve the available supply carefully and where possible to use substitutes during the mild weather. * Every Province in Canada and a dozen States of the Union were represented in the exhibits at the Royal Winter Fair at Exhibâ€" ition Park, Toronto, recently It is described as a combination of all winter fairs and is said to have surpassed even the International Live so A T | nounces that holders of 1922 Victory A fu“.size’ t Stock Show at Chicago in farm live stock.

EXPENDITURES REDUCED Retrenchment and concentration are being effectively applied to the administration of the Department of Soldiers‘ â€" Civil â€" Raâ€"establishment, under its Minister, Hon. Dr. H. 8. Beland. This year‘s estimates called for a reduction of $6,000,000 in exâ€" penditure, and Dr. Beland stated last week that his department would do well within the estimates.

The charge for license plates will provide a revenue of approximately $250,000 to the department, a sum which will be sufficient to take care of administration expenses and to pay the manufacturing cost of the markâ€" ers. The additional fee to be reâ€" quired from truck operators has mot been decided .upon, so that no estiâ€" mate of .the revenue from it is possible. MAY LEVY NEW TAX According to reports in circulation the Ontario Highways Department is considering the levying of a tax of $1 on all motor license plates. There may also be an increase in the license fees for heavy trucks. TWO ELECTION CONTESTS ‘As a result of the official nominâ€" ations on Nov. 21 for candidates to fill the five vacant Federal constituâ€" encies there will only be two electâ€" ion contests, As forecast, Liberal candidates in the consituencies of Megantic and Jacques Cartier, Que., and Gloucester, N.

It is the practice of those distribâ€" uting the forged bills to bury them in packages of genuine notes, makâ€" ing it almost impossible for tellers counting the money to "spot" the fake currency One teller in a local bank passed one tenâ€"dollar bill and four fives in a single day He was, therefore liâ€" rble for $30, but he appealed to the President who solved his dilemma by endeavoring while counting a bundle of bills in which were the forgeries, to recognize them as such He was unable to pick one correctly so the tellers money was refunded.

Edmonton is in the midst of a hot battle between the retailers of the city and their clerks over the quesâ€" tion of a compulsory weekly half holiday. The retailers won the first round in the fight when they got the city council to suspend a clause in the city charter providing for the half holiday on Wednesdays or Saturâ€" days The clerks won the next engageâ€" ment by getting an order from the Supreme Court quashing the action of the Council. Now the storekeepers have reâ€" plied with another legal action, in which they are asking the courts to declare the whole clause in the charter illegal and beyond the pro per powers of the Alberta Legisâ€" lature to place in the city charter. MILLIONAIRE MISSING. Missing a score of years, Albert Parker, Toronto millionaire, is beâ€" lieved to have been seen in Japan and is now being sought there, acâ€" cording _ to passengers _ reaching Victoria last week from the Orient on the steamer Pesident Jefferson. Mr. Parker is said to have disâ€" appeared some twenty years ago when on a fishing cruise off Alaska. An American, who recently returnâ€" ed to Canada, told Mr. Parker‘s family, according to reports, that he had seen the missing millioaire in Kobe. ‘The Toronto police have no record of Mr. Parker. The GovernorGeneral of Canada is said to have communicated with the British embassy at Tokio whence a request was transmitted to the Japanese foreign office regarding the whereabouts of the missing man. The police of Kobe are now trying to locate him. CANADIAN SINGER PRAISED The critics of the evening papers of New York echo the chorus of praise which was accorded by their Morning paper confreres to Edward Johnson, the Canadian tenor, who made his initial appeaance with the Metropolitan Opera Company last week. Mr. Johnson sang the role of Avito in Montemezzi‘s "LA‘more Dei Tre Re," Lucresa Borl being the Fiora. Seldom has a new Metropolitan singer been given such a warm triâ€" bute from both Press and public as the Canadian tenor received. He has been busy throughout the day opening a flood of messages of conâ€" gratulations from his fellow musicâ€" jans and the musical elect of the city and there is not a dissenting voice in the chorus of praise from the professional critics. CASH FOR BONDS. In a statement issued last week the Department of Finances anâ€" nounces that holders of 1922 Victory Ponds, due December 1, can have their bonds paid off in cash at any branch of any chartered bank in Canada.

NEW _ CHANCELLOR IN GER: MANY. Wilhelm Cuno is Germany‘s fif teenth chancelfor and the first nonâ€" partisan, nonâ€"parliamentary holder of that post in the new republic. He has succeeded in forming his new Cabinet. Chancellor Cuno‘s Ministry was chiefly recruited from among the three middle parties, who have agreed to support him, while three or four of the members received their appointments on nonâ€"political grounds. The first pronounced Bourgeoise Cabinet of Republican Germany enâ€" ters upon its functions knowing that it will be confronted by the unâ€" compromising opposition of the united Socialists and Communists, but hopeful of winning the benevoâ€" lent neutral tolerance of the strong Nationalistic party in the Reichsâ€" tag.

After a trip through the firsâ€"r&Yrâ€" aged area of New Ontario, under the direction of the Northern Onâ€" tario Relief Committee, the Mayors and representatives of over fifty municipalities of the Province have returned to their homes convinced that the ruined towns of the north must be rebuilt, and that all po# sible aid should be given to the hardy settlers with whom they have talked, and who still hold to their great faith in the north. In paying a tribute to the indomitâ€" able courage of the people of the North, Premier Drury said: "These people are not asking charity. It was no fault of their own the heavy fall that they got, and they ounly ask & leg to help them regain the saddle. They are filled with the spirit of heroes." Speaking of the Government plans MNr.Drury told of the Settlers‘ Loan and the Rural Credits, but showed that special cases had to be dealt with. _ Haileybury is one of the special cases and was in a peculiar situation, a little different from the amaller places. With two hundred and fifty thousand dollars of bonded indebtedness and assets valued at $150,000 degf®oyed, the town was not a total loss, and if the town is restored the other will be recovered. Old Ontario is not likely to let the town go. The Government will do two things: Take over the debentures for three years in order to let the town get back to prosperity; it will ask the municipality to hand over the insurance from the schools and il will add the amount necessary to rebuild them. At the end of three years the debt would be handed back, less the amount represented by the vanished assets.
