"Members of the Non-Partisan League
can not be members of the Socialist party, J"
SAYS news item telling of the convention
of the Socialist party held this week in Min
neapolis The Socialists reasoned the Non
Partisans are not what they pretend to be
for as the committee reported that the
"Non- Partisan is a political party" The
logical conclusion based on the premises
that political parties are partisan and the
INon-Partisan League is Il political party;
therefore the Non-Partisan League is not
INon-Partisan.
OF course the mere fact that its name is
la missioner is not the criterion by which to
Judge the Non-Partisan league. 1t is the OBJ
Ijects which the league desires to attain that
should be judged However, one is apt
TO question the ends when so brazen an at
tempt is made to mislead the people by the
use of such pieces of sophistry as the non
de plume, Non-Partisan.
The fact that the Socialist disowned
the League indicates that they recognize in
lit a coming opponent that is trying to steal
lSocialistic thunder. They are rivals for the
same vote. i'm some sections of the country,
and the Socialists do not want TO get the
control divided. Both the Socialists and
l"Non-P Partisans" are dues paying organiza-
/ tions and the handling of those dues is an
important item. There is nothing nOn-par-
tisan about it. The Socialists want that un-
dcrstood, so they want no would-bc non-par-
tisans handling their share

EXPLOSIVES.

Many caves and buildings have
been found filled with explosives in
the u. s. The first signs of these
weapons appeared when school chill
dren found many sticks OF dynamite.
At first the authorities though that
there was Just a small store close
by, but IN looking FOR II they found
enough explosives to blow the bridge
close by to atoms. Many rifles have
also been found buried in large col
lections. What for2 To satisfy some
traitors or German spies? How long
would an American spy captured in
Berlin last? About two seconds or
time enough to load a gun.
Harry Lauder in his Portland
speech said that in the trench, he
went there with his son, he saw a
nail driven half into the wood He
asked the officer why they did not
drive II in and he said they did drive
one OF them in but had TO bury ~

Ontario's future is in the hands of the
City Council. The people have shown that
they want real water system and have put
the problem squarely up to the City Com-
ell to see that the proper system is secured.
There is only one thing TO be regretted
about the election of last Monday. That is
the size of the vote. Instead of being 275
votes east there should have been larger
number. IL is true that there was a misap-
prehension ON the part of many voters who
entertained the notion that the medieval re-
striction of property holdings was still OPP
erative for bond election. Also owing to
the weather many of the women voters did
not go to the polls.
lt must not be imagined however that
by giving the Council the right to spend
100000 for a water system that the tv-
phoid problem has been thoroly solved.
That is not all that is necessary. Ontario
must bc cleaned of the surface filth and il
must stay clean.
1t is not enough to just clean up little
bit.

ABOUT BIRDS.
CECIL THOMPSON

There are many kinds Of birds
that do more good than harm. These
we should protect and feed.
They eat some wheat but more
bugs and 30 save the farmers crop.
The more birds then. the more the
farmer can save for food for the al
lies. Let's protect them then and
let them help win the war.

TO THE MEMBERS or THE

II will perhaps interest the members
and friends of The Woman's His
tory Club to know that by private
contribution and with the proceeds
of the picture show given last Tues
day night under the auspices of the
Council of National Defense and
The Woman's History Club, one
hundred and fifteen dollars was re-
allied for the benefit of the State
Home for Delinquent Girls. This
amount which was fifteen dollars in
excess of the quota to-be raised by
the Woman's History Club was ap-
piled to the apportionment Of three
hundred dollars asked of Montgom-
cry County for this important war
measure.
Members of the local W. c. T. U.
many of whom are also members Of
the Club assisted splendidly to raise
this money. 1t is to be hoped var
ious organizations will cooperate
with and assist each other in rails
ing this quota for the County.
Those who support this splendid war
measure are not only making it pos,
sible to rehabituate wrecks of hui
mainly, but are standing directly
behind the Administration in its eff
fort to maintain the Nations eff
cheney during this war. Twenty
thousand dollars has been raised by
the women of Louisville for this
cause, over twelve hundred dollars
was raised in Lexington alone. This
request is made of and being splend-
idly met by the women of every
county in the State.
The women Of Montgomery usu-
ally rise to the occasion, and as the
quota for this cause is reasonable
it will surely be met.
