WWW-gunman“ Wall-0.0M V “MINI“ - _ 0-. ”a. In a-.....-.--.", Within recent years a movement for the emancipation of the slaves in the State, of Nepal, which has a population more than half as large as the Dominion of Canada, has been growing in strength. It is now announced that the tank of securing freedom for the 68,000 slaves in the State will in the near future be completed. The total abolition of slavery in that country is favored by the Mohanjnh him- self who has liven o lute pert of the $2,000,- 000 My spent in compensation to the 16,000 lbw-owners. T u. om-.-.'.........." _ _agtttgittTt- an” o- Invitation. Adm-mun. a." in! you. an m not lam than Monty no“ a have Inc-mol- The judge who conducted the recount in North Huron, by discarding 840 ballots to which the counterfoila were attached, has changed a majority of one hundred and sixty- nine into a minority and has declared this minority candidate member-elect for the rid- mg. The complete abolition of slavery has almost been accomplished but it still exists as an organized institution in the independent state of Nepal, on the north-eastern border frontier of India, on the borders of the British Empire. In this state slavery has long been a recognized institution and all families of rank possess slaves who are employed in domestic and field work. The slaves are, however, gen- erally treated well and are carefully protected by law. The decision has been the subject of much critical comment. It is emphasized that the all important fact to consider is the will of the people and that it would be a serious wrong to the electors who were disfranchised through no fault of their own, to make their ballots ineffective through the iieglect of the Deputy Returning Officer to detach the coun- terfoils. _ While it is proper that the franchise should be surrounded with all possible safe- guards, the law should-be such that the will of the people is upheld. In this case the ne- glect of the deputy returning officers has caused electors to be disfranchised. It is pointed out that if the interpretation of the law by the judge in the case is to be taken as a correct one, a deputy returning officer at any time could swing an election one ugly or the other by the simple act of omitting. to de- tach the counterfoils. This defect in the law should be remedied and provision made for ap- peals from the decision of the County Judge with whom the final decision should not rest in a matter of such importance. The fact that the expressed polich the Spviet government is the {omible overthrow of all other governments is a disquieting fea- ture, the Red Army having been obviously or~ ganized to carry out the Soviet programme. In connection with the above case atten- tion has been directed to the need of affording reasonable protection to those placed in posi- tions of great finaneial responsibility which carry small remuneration. from having oppor- tunities to 'eonveniently augment their in- comes brought to their attention by others who also stand to profit thereby. In the light of the verdict in the Pepall ease it is not surprising that there should be suggestions for the release of Peter Smith from the penitentiary. The reorganization of the Red Army last year and the magnitude of its growth since that time is the subject of a recent article in the Boston Transcript. It points out that the army now actually numbers 700,000 men and its 'budget is. 397,0f0,000 gold rubles. This army, itis stated. is organized to the last de- gree in every department of military science. Uncertain elements, such as czarist officers who supported the Red Revolution from the start. have been eliminated and their places taken by communists. Military science is pre- scribed in the/schools and not fewer than 1,500,000 of the youth of Russia are being brought up to know no other theory of govern- ment than that of the Soviet. The jury in the case of Andrew Pepall has rendered a verdict declaring him not guilty of any of the four charges brought against him in regard to the Ontario Government bond transactions for which Peter Smith and Aemilius Jarvis were both convicted, the former being sent to the penitentiary and the latter compelled to pay a big fine and serve a term in the common jail. The verdict is final. 3 T0 COMPLETELY ABOLISH SLAVERY I THE REOOUNT IN NORTH HURON l RED ARMY RIC-ORGANIZED PEPALL IS A0tur'ITED "dh' m......, l, At a recent conference of the Boards of (Trade at Winnipeg a new national organiza- ltion was formed with the laudable purpose of lsolving national problems which are the result (of geographical, physical and political divi- "sions. The conference created an atmosphere ‘of mutual willingness on the part of ‘the various provinces to consider each other'8 problems in a broad way. Under strong leader- ship much can be accomplished by the new organization. l ' MtJttttttuMTau,Pqrqi'PaMrt, IT t m rum t mt in Italy, recently succeeded in net-b- 1uiiriiisTiaia iriaiiiiiC linking a dictatorship which In. and Man PPPH? af have! un- tP?oumt.nttheuirttto'hutttt-euimu such new paws-s. _ Although lanolin“ u. nominally" "q,8tne iblettrt.heKinsttehatsotstutsedttltothar forms of constitutional sovemxnent. The National parliament is to have no control over himself or his ministers and he has announced measures for the suppression of criticism and opposition in every conceivable form, including control over. all societies, new-punts and books as well as over the deeisiomt of the courts. The growth of the automobile industry in Canada is reflected in the fact that during the 21 years in which automobile manufactur- ing has been carried on in the Dominion, its factories are reported to have produced more than a million motor vehicles. The indGiry to-fay employs 100,000 Canadians. it is stated that 500,000 or about six per cent of the total population of the Dominion as recorded in the census of 1921,Ure dependent for a livelihood on the manufacture and use of automobiles. If the project of manufacturing paper from straw pulp meets the anticipations of its promoters it will solve the problem of the dis- posal of the immense quantities of straw pro- duced in the West every year. Straw pulp it is claimed, on also be used for the manufac- ture of wrapping and sheeting psper, carton bonds snd wall board. The project is being promoted by the Alberta government and promises to we s successful undertaking. The efforts of Governor Pinchot of Penn- sylvania to end the coal strike will be watched with keen interest. He has a thorough know- ledge of the miners' conditions and is also ac- quainted with the methods and profits of the mine owners and is therefore in a position to judge the merits of the questions under dis- pute. Anthracite users both in Canada and the United Stateshvill earnestly hope that he may succeed in bringing the opposing parties to- gether and secure an early settlement of the strike in view of the rapid approach of winter weather. - As has been pointed out the people oi Italy evidently believe that if they are to have a government at all it should be of the moat sweeping character. That Mussolini has ap- parently won the confidence and support of his own countrymen was shown in the enthusiasm which marked his reception in the Italian Parliament on his first appearance in the Chamber after the recent attempt on his life. Throughout Italy he is hailed as the map. destined to unify the people and lead them through their present difficulties to a great national future. ’ Mussolini believes that his plan which is directly contrary to the ordinary conception of the liberty of the subject fostered under democratic rule, is the only one by which the prosperity and happiness of the individual will be assured. _ As a result of the efforts of the pro- vinpial department's agricultural agents at Lethbridge and Medicine Hat the corn acreage in Southern Alberta has grown from 15,000 acres in 1922 to over 70,000 acres the past year. The Canadian National Railways continue to record encouraging net gains from month to month and the year’s results will show a substantial increase over the earnings of last year. The Railways continue to be most efficiently administered under the guidance of Sit. Henry Thornton who believes that there are increasing evidences of the return of more prosperous times. Time alone will disclose the merits of the system of government set up by Mussolini in Italy. The opportunities for success in the West are well illustrated in the case of seven Men- nonite families which arrived in Canada last fall. According to the manager of the Cana- dian Colonization Association they have clear- ed a profit of $26,000 by leasing 2,080 acres of farm land at Provost, Alberta. . quoh'nl. originator at ttte Pod-t m EDITORIAL NOTES Caesar.

A will signed by the deceased in May, 1926, was found by detectives in Mrs. Blgaqueue's house. In this will she named her Ion, Eugene, the sole heir to her fortune, valued at $30,000.
