Sir Thomas White, ex-minister Of
finance of Canada, writes to the To
ronto Telegram respecting the number
of motor car fatalities, in part as fol
lows:
"In common, am sure, with all
other citizens Of Toronto, / an ap-

Is taken almost daily in this city by
the automobile. There is scarcely a
morning that the paper does not bring
us the news of tragedy in which
some little child is crippled to death,
painfully injured or manned for life,
by a swiftly driven motor car.
$50 common has 1t become that we
take these tragic occurrences as a
matter OF course, inevitable in a great
city with its rapidly increasing con-
gestion of traffic. The killing goes on
increasingly, and will continue to do
so until the question of motor traffic
in the province is fairly faced and reg
ulations adopted and enforced which
will put an end to the murder of the
innocent.
Anything more absurd than that
the people of Ontario are helpless 10

before our eyes cannot well be mag

I maintain that the efficient cause

driver, hurry has become a national

Toronto, let it be known that police
are posted through the city to appre-

from child murders by. motors.

Mentally. a man is first conscious

Beyond these two curiosity doesn't

But IL her voice shows too much of

white rose was the dainty bride.
n spider wove her veil,
Twas spangled DER with drops of dew

A daisy from the meadow spread her

And to complete the wedding feast a

Pressed on a gold tray his finest
homemade wine.
A breeze came up the garden path
and boldly blew aside
The nlmy veil OF gossamer tina quite

And 10! her petals once as white as

Their loneliness on beauty's neck, were
all a glowing pink.

Purely a Kendrick Meeting

WHEN fully analysed the merest tyro in the no.
" litical game will admit that the Douglas meet.
ing was a Kendrick affair. The senator's bench

away from him and they did their work remarkahlv
well. There is not, according to reports, a single
name endorsed by the meeting that is tainted nv
any brand of political action save Democracy, ex-
cept that of former Chief Justice Groesbeck. and
mis- nomination is presumed to be entirely non.nar.
tisan in character. II his nomination had inter.
1ered in any manner with the nomination of Judge
Tidoall, 1T is more than probable that he would
nave been relegated to the discard along with Mr..
Mcdowell of Fremont county. Judge Groesbeck has
not been an 1vcwed Republican for many wears.
de has been a candidate on the Socialist ticket sew.
eral times since leaving the Republican marty and
mas nlyer indicated that he intended to espouse its
principles since that time. He was permitted to
remain as the choice of the Douglas gathering sim.
ply because he was not in the way of anyone and
might aid a little in the camp of the Socialists.
In the case of Mcdowell it was different. He had
been OF the Republican faith and therefore entire.
~ dlstastefu TO the Democrats, He was also deem
ed OF a character too independent to be relied upon
by the hendrick forces. The slate fixed was one
plastic as potters clay and easily nodded to the
VIII of the Democratic leaders there for the mr..
pose of doing the fixing. o'Mahoney, Fowler and
Miller were not to be bamboozled by any candidate
that did not bear the hallmark of the faithful. In
their compromise they were compelled to eliminate
some OF the old Democratic warehouses;, but they be
lleve they have men who can make a better race
all things considered. than Democrats like Burke
Sinclair or Senator O'Connor of Casper.
IN the formation of this slate the Democrats have
made a primary fight inevitable and there is no
certainty that Camp of Casper. who has filed his
petition for congress, will not snake the grade,
against their choice of Rose of Kemmerer. Camp
is making a strenuous campaign of the state and
is getting some sympathy and strength among the
people. He has the advantage of being even a
greater stranger than Rose, who is known very lit.
tic among the people in general.
1t will now be the work of the Kendrick forces to
make the members of the Non-Parisan League be-
neve the Douglas slate is composed of leaguers and
the workingmen that they are simon pure workers.
1t may not be difficult to get them through the pri.
mary and on the Democratic ticket. At the polls
in the November election they will come sauarely
in opposition to the Republican candidates and will
have to stand upon their merits as citizens and be

Don't Spill the Baby

I'm this terrific controversy that
hns arisen between Bill White and the
Kansas industrial court It behooves

Kansas City Star. THE Industrial
court is trying TO administer n law tho

the interests Of the people Of KAnsas.
But so is BIZ White good ana en-
li~ghtened, and to see goodness and
enlightenment in Kansas s~elf-conflict-

last spectacle one would care to look
upon.
Mr.. White and the Industrial court
have the same objective in living and
striving. II we put Mr.. white first
II is because ne has been on the Job

Tariffs and Reuenues

TT is SHOWN by the United States statistical
abstract that for the eight Years of the Sim.
mons Underwood tariff law, (stil in force) 1914
to 1921, inclusive, we imported $24, 20S, 600, 900 worth
of goods. The revenue collected from those goods
aggregated $1,939,54S,0 900. OF this total s92, 0O0, 900
was collected in the period July LIST to October 8,
1913, when the Republican law was in effect, and
about $20.OO0,00O from Republican rates on wool
and sugar, carried over into the following year. The
June 80, 1921, was therefore 1882, O00 900. Dur
ing the eight years Immediately preceding 1914.
four of which were under the Dingley and four
under the Payne-Aldrich law, 1868, inclusive. we
imported S11, 71S,0 0 900 worth of goods. The rev.
enues collected from these goods aggregated So
497 ,704, 900. Another instance: In 1920 imports under
the present law totaled $~5,27s,O00, 900, producing
S323,5OOiOOO of revenue; while in 1910, under Re-
publican law, imports totaling $1,557 600, 900 netted
1888 ,6S3, 900 of revenue from customs.
Broadly speaking it may be said that under the
Republican policy revenue is incidental to protec-
ton, while under the Democratic policy projection
is accidental to revenue. The Republicans are more
concerned with protecting some $780, 900. DOC. 600 of

I Is a well-known fact in the business world that
L who is urgently in need of credit cannot get it,
and while the man who can get it usually does not
need it. In the latter part of 1920 and the early
part of 1921 the American farmer was in the posi-
ton of urgently needing credit, but he could not
get it.

ager OF the war finance corporation, an institution
that was designed particularly to help market farm
crops. Selecting n few sentences that touch directly
upon the agricultural situation in the years men
toned, we quote Mr.. Meyer:
In 1920, just as the farmer was beginning TO
harvest his crops, the price of farm products, and
with it the purchasing power of the farmer. de-
cl1ned abruptly. e. The collapse of 1920 was due
an no small measure, to the pressure upon the agri-
cultural producers and the stockman to liquidate
loans in a shorter time than was necessary to mar
kt his output in an orderly manner. The prices
received by the farmer for his products under fore.
ed liqtadation and hasty selling impaired his buy.

In the face of opposition on the part of the late ad.

revived the war finance corporation as a piece OF
