Aeeorn on oeene on mc e Senator Huey Ldfi'x, Governor of Louisiana, an erratic legislator and foe of President Rooseâ€" velt, was assassinated when shot through the abdomen, in the State house. He died early Tuesday morning, surrounded by members of his family. His assailant, a 32â€"yearâ€"old medical doctor, was immediately riddled with bullets from machine guns in the hands of Long‘s bodyguard. Senator Long was a demagogue and a dictator. Despite his clowning and profanity, thousands in Louisiana loved him. His political enemies may be overjoyed but in many farm homes where the "Kingfish" was best known there was much weeping. Despite his coarseâ€" ness and somewhat erratic rule, he raised the standards of living and culture in Louisiana. While be always had a bodyguard with him in public, he was no coward. That he possessed moral courage was shown when he dared to defy the United States Senate and resisted their attempts to break him. + > Friends and the big majority of his foes will regret his tragic death. That there are definite signs of financial uneasiness in Germany may be seen in the reâ€" luctance of merchants and others to accept anyâ€" thing but real money. Whenever persons have a paper currency note of large denomination, they have difficulty spending it unless they want to make a substantial purchase. The merchants do not want to give out change and then find themselves caught with the paper money of high face value but doubtful real value. Germany has had one experience with monetary inflation and those who have lived through that era do not want to be caught short again. This fear of national financial collapse in Germany is a significant indication that while there is an outward show of confidence, there are many doubting members in the Reich. | SENATOR LONG YIC'I‘!M OF ASSASSMN | The threatened invasion of Ethiopia by Italy has evoked much sympathy among people in many nations. For the past month the League of Nations has tried to satisy Italy by granting certain concessions. Italy, however, is deterâ€" mined to place a protectorate over the country governed by Haile Selassie and if Ethiopia reâ€" bels a war will follow. Italy‘s reason for invadimg Ethiopia is she must expand. It is feared that the leading nations, Great Britain and France, will agree to a gradual extension of control to Italy until the whole government of Ethiopia is directed from Rome. It looks as though the League of Nations is selling out to Italy. The St. Marys Journalâ€"Argus has the folâ€" lowing interesting comment on the Canada Temperance Act: Premier Hepburn‘s present attitude reâ€" garding the C.T.A. in the counties of Perth, Huron and Peel, is a reversal of his stand last year when the following amendment to the Liquor Control Act was passed by his governâ€" ment:â€""Section 68: Nothing contained in this Act shall be construed as interfering with the operation of the Canada Temperance Act, apâ€" plicable to any part of Ontario, and no governâ€" ment store shall be established and no authority for the sale of liquor shall be issued under this Act in a municipality in which the Canada Temperance Act has been brought into force and is still in force." Sir Malcolm Campbell, fearless Englishâ€" man, who dared death to make a speed record of 300 miles an hour in his Bluebird motor car, believes that tests made by hinm will enable scientists to construct and design better motor cars and thus make for safer driving. Proud of his record, he declares he will not race again unless his record is broken by another daring speed demon. "I do not ;t:l:route a apeed of 90, 80 or even 70 miles an hour on the public highways," Sir Sir Maicolmn undoubtedly was aware that every run made might have been his last, knowâ€" ing that anyone of many things might spell disâ€" aster. It is interesting to know that he does not enter the cockpit of the Bluehird until he is certain that every part has undergone minute inspection. Steering, brakes, tires, axles, motor â€"all must be as perfect as it is possible to make them. Sir Malcolm gives the followi.’ timely adâ€" vice to motarists : -_" | WHOLESOME ADVICE TO MOTORISTS | * Eie S o FINANCIAL UNEASINESS IN GERMANY BREAKING HIS OWN LAW ETHIOPIA‘S PLIGHT Malcoim says. "Testg{reveal many machines are not safe to driva‘even 40 wmiles per hour, yet the owners send them wobbling along at nearly twice the speed. I hope my tests and drives result in perfection of cars to such an extent they will withstand the severest strain in an emergency. } There is still talk of a national governâ€" ment. And possibly it is the intention to offer ‘Mr. Aberhart the post of minister of finance. ‘"My ambition as a racing driver has been to attain a speed of 5.â€"milesâ€"aâ€"minute or better on the straightaway. As a motorist, my only desire is to drive safely and slowly on the road. ‘Speaking as a motorist, my advice to any other motorist would be to consider the safety of himself and others. Next, I would caution him to protect the investment his car repreâ€" sents by giving it the finest of care. This care should start when the car is new. By treating a new car like a young horse, one will obtain long, satisfactory service and true economy of operation." The public is interested in the recent anâ€" nouncement of the Minister of Education that a course in Canadian Civics is to be introduced into the schools. Provision for its teaching is being made in the fourth and fifth forms of public and separate schools and .in the lower school grades of high, vocational and continuaâ€" tion schools. With the course will go a reader sketching development of the present Governâ€" ment structure at Ottawa, in the provinces and in the municipalities, setting forth the best in citizenship. The move by the Department will be welâ€" comed by the general public as too few people give any thought to public questions and as a result must take their opinions readyâ€"made by leaders of their respective parties. If the people are not properly informed on the questions of the day, the election results do not always give the best kind of government. _ The Minister of Education is to be comâ€" mended for introducing this new coursa in the schools. It will give the students a better knowledge of how governments are run and lead them to take a more intelligent interest in pubâ€" lic affairs. * The Dundas Citizens‘ Band won the Canaâ€" dian National Exhibition contest, which has given Dundas something to blow about,. The Dionne quintuplets and the Canadian National Exhibition shared the attention of the tourists the past two weeks. Premier Hepburn has been well adviséd in removing the amusement tax on childen‘s adâ€" missions. An amateur singer on the radio said on Sunday night he would rather sing than eat. He prefers hot numbers to hot dogs. Thanksgiving Day, fixed for Thursday, October 24th, must stand, although hundreds of protests were made to Ottawa because the date was not changed to Monday. John Mitchell, prominent Port Hope man, who confessed to stealing $20,000 from his clients, gives as the reason his failure to keep books and natural incompetence. France, it is announced, will take the view that the peace of Europe is more important than the fate of Ethiopia. In other words, France will make no move, which appears to increase the menace of Germany. There is reported a 30 per cent. increase this year in the sale of agricultural implements at the Canadian National Exhibition. An indiâ€" cation of better price conditions for the product of the farm. The payer of small income taxes, who hasn‘t a chance to escape, will be keenly inâ€" terested in the announcement that Federal authorities are likely to "get after" the big fellows who are suspected of dodging. The impressive closing of the Canadian National Exhibition on Saturday must have been gratifying to the Board of Direetors and management. Over a million and a half people attended during the two weeks. Sir Malcolm Campbell, who achieved his ambition to race 300 miles an hour in his famâ€" ous giant Bluebird motor car, declares he is through. His record will not stand for long, as other men will be found to risk their lives to better the record set. Tax rates for district towns show a wide variation. Kincardine heads the list with a 56â€" mill rate, Walkerton 50, Simcoe 44, Arthur 444, Palmerston 48, Harriston 89, Acton 35, Orillia 50, Collingwood 55, Barrie 50, Orangeâ€" ville 40, Chesley 34 and Hanover 49%4. This town is neither high nor low, but these burgs with a 84â€" or 35â€"mill rate certainly know little of taxea, unless their assessments are proporâ€" tionately high.â€"Hanover Post. sSTUDY OF POLITICS IN SCHOOLS | EDITORIAL NOTES â€"â€" PBB W4 A Good Time to Raise a Fost According to the Dominion Anâ€" imal Husbandman there is at present a definite scarcity of good, fresh, young horees for farm and city work und an increasing demand for them at fairly remunerative and gonerally increasing prices. Since it takes four or five years to ‘breed, raise and deâ€" velop a horee to marketable age, it will be some time before the demand can be satisfied, therefore present prices may be expected to hold or even improve for a bumber of years. It would seem, therefore, that it would be a profitable venture for any farmer who has a reasonably good draft brood mare, that he can spare from fheavy work, to bhreed her and raise a foal. When the true value of potatoes as feed for live stock and poultry is realized, much larger quantities than at present employed will be used. With high prices for stock and poulâ€" try feeds and a surplus of potatoes in Eastern Canada, stock raisers near the plentiful supplies of potaâ€" toes have a good opportunity to reâ€" duce their feed bills by feeding poâ€" tatoes. Other countries make much use of potatoes as stockâ€"feed. In Gerâ€" many, for instance, only 30 per cent of the total potato crop is used ‘for table purposes. and approximately 40 per cent for stock feeding. On the other bhand, in Canada 64.5 per cent of the crop finds its 11 per cent for stock feeding. Assistance for Sheep Industry Ontario sheep breeders and sheep raisers are again to have the beneâ€" fits of the Ram Grading and Ram Premium Policies, ‘The Dominion government realizing the importance of a continuous policy in the producâ€" tion and use of good rams are proâ€" viding liberal aseistance so that farâ€" mers may buy good rame with conâ€" fidence at u reasonable cost to the purchaser, All purebred breeders will be given an opportunity to make application for the ‘Ram Grading Service and the premium which will be paid on gradâ€" ed rams. Applications â€" for â€" Ram â€" Grading should be mailed to James Telfer, Paris, Ont. Want of care of farm equipment causes heavy inroads into the operâ€" ating costs of a farm, and the fact is not always appreciated that machine should not be left out in a field or shed unless properly protected at all times from the effects of weather. It is not always feasible to afford this sort of protection to machinery on a farm, but a great deal more can be done to prevent deterioration than is sometimes the case. Machinery reâ€" quires suitable housing all the year round, if the overhead is to be kept in check, although often in the exiâ€" gencies of farming this is not always an easy matter, In the absence of proper pl‘o!(‘clidfl from the weather, rust and decay play havoe with the various parts, and careful farmers make It a rule to get their machâ€" ines.under cover as soon as possible. These farmers know that stabling for machinery is as neceseary as for ) Turning his attention eastward, Hon. H. H. Stevens, Leader of the \Reconstruction Party, made & vigorâ€" ous attack on the Canadian banks in his initial Quebec speech. He termed them "safety deposit boxes ‘for Government bonds" and held that their "frozen assets" had inâ€" creased by $531,285,000 in the past ‘five years, while current loans deâ€" ‘clined by $573,450,000. Canada, he said, was not bankrupt and the Canadian National Railway was not ‘the white elephant that some mainâ€" ,tained. â€" : the livestock Rt. Hon. Mackenzie King and his{ followers are, as was expected, basing a large part of their appeal to voters on tariff issues. In his‘ tour of the Maritimes, Mr. King has declared that while the tariffs of the Bennett Government are to be conâ€" siderably lowered if he gains power, the change will‘ probably be a gradual one.The Liberals, he said, did not intend "at one fell swoop to wipe away all the present Government has done", He promâ€" ised that in the lowering of tariffs care would be taken to protect Canadian industries and that the protection given would be equal to "that of 1930. The fact that eight of Canada‘s nine provinces are now under Liberal Governments is being used as a talking point on Grit platâ€" forms for stable government. King Watches Alberta Mr. King is evidently watching Alberta with the same keen interest as other Canadian politicians. He spoke gently of Mr. Aberhart‘s amâ€" bitions when he said that the Social Credit System should be tried out first in Alberta, It would be unâ€" wise to experiment in a province and the Dominion at the same time, he maintained, If it succeeded in Alberta, it would win general acceptance. _ m . With the assurance from Premier Bennett that Alberta would receive fair consideration from the Federal Government, William Aberhart, new Premier of the country‘s firat Social Credit province, busied himself with his financial problem this week. The tun on the provincial banks ended, Mr. Aberhart has renewed his stand against â€" handing . the provincial banks over to the chartered banks. Negotiations for a loan of $18,000,â€" 000 from the Dominion are underâ€" way and Mr. Aberhart will confer ‘person-lly with the Premier in reâ€" gard to the loan. _ J. 8. Woodasworth, leader of the C.C.F., has announced that his p-rtx will have 100 candidates in the field and he anticipates that half of them wil}l be successful. The most ambitious of Mr. Woodaworth‘s followers are hopeful of gaining a minority control. _ _ _ â€" Accordins to the figures from the Franchise Commissioners, the 580 candidates in the field at present, seeking seats in the Ottawa House, are divided: Liberal 226, Conservaâ€" tive 214, C.C.F. 83, Reconatructionâ€" ist 48, and others, including one Furnished by the Ontario Department of Agricuiture Housing Farm Equipment THE WEEK AT OTTAWA Potatoes as Stockâ€"Feed (Continued from Page 1) Fur the Farme: _ $| Grapts Fairs $150 Township of Woolwich met at Conestogo on Tuesday, Sept. 3rd, 1985, pursuant to adjournment from last seasion. _ _All the members were present The reeve was in the chair.

The Municipal Council of the CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS. A Great Agency of Public Service. These facts, although thus briefly stated, are of tremendous importance to Canada and Canadians. They are here presented in the hope that greater patronage will follow a wider appreciation of the part this great railway system is performing in the commerce and development of the Dominion . . . and of its vast potentialities for future service. Standing as we are at the beginâ€" .ning of an upward swing in business generally, renewed and enlarged ‘opportunities to use transportation facilities present themselves. The C. N. R. is ready and anxious to serve . . . efficiently and economically. . Its departments embrace passenger and freight transportation, express, telegraphs, steamships and hotels. The C. N. R. is one of the world‘s greatest transportation systems. Its length of track alone entitles it to that distinction, but its chief claim rests upon the nature and extent of the services it renders. While encering practically every important centre in Canada it also serves. widely diversified and distant areas, and in very many instances is the sole agency providing railway facilities. e Notwithstanding the sparsely populated condition of much of the territory from which the C. N. R. obtains its freights of grains, minerals, forest products, " _ etc., its charges for haulage are very low . . . Canadian railway freighe rates are probably the lowest in the world. On an average the C. N. R. receives less than one cent for hauling a ton of freight one mile. Of every dollar of revenue received the C. N. R. pays more than one half to its employees as wages, and it purchases every year many millions of doilars worth of Canadian made or produced materials. The C. N. R. also pays in the course of a year over six million dollars in various taxes. N. R. is a large direct employer of labour, and indirectly, by virtue of the nature of its freight and other services, also enters importantly and indisâ€" pensably into the commercial and industrial activities of the Dominion . . . creating new wealth . . . distributing raw and manufactured goods . .. enabling more employment and wages to be provided.
