Winnipeg wednesday july 13, 1938 the by the As far As any other from any Endeavor to give it effect. The object of the new clause is to free members of the Canadian parliament from the undue pres sure of groups in his constituency. It should have the effect of making character rather than commit ments the real test of election and insofar As it serves that purpose it should be useful. The end of amalgamation he great Campaign for railway amalgamation promoted 2 Canadian Pacific railway and its allies has met with Complete and utter failure. The government had firmly refused 10 accept the scheme and the conservative convention with delegates from All parts of the county flatly rejected it in favor of the present railway set up Vith economies to be made by co operation Between the railways. No other political group shown any sympathy with amalgamation. All those Vjio know the feeling of the people know that the country does not want the scheme at All and will have nothing to do with it. But what an Effort was made by the campaigners to create the impression that Public opinion had swung Over to amalgamation the support of various organizations Way secured. Often through the action of their executive committees without consulting the membership. Every evidence of support was magnified and it was said that the opposition in the press was confined to a few unreasonable and disgruntled newspapers. Unification was approved by the Canadian manufacturers association in its Brief to the Rowell commission and it went so far As to suggest that the people of Canada were now in favor of unification. The opinion that it was politically impossible had been expressed it said but Public opinion was progressive there was Public irritation Over the state of railway affairs and a growing demand for action. From All of which it was suggested that this demand could no longer be safely ignored by the politicians. This was pure Moonshine and it is now quite Plain that the few newspapers that fought amalgamation vigorously and j lovingly tenderly describes her As were berated for doing so represented overwhelming Public opinion. They also helped to prevent it from being misled. The newspapers that supported amalgamation openly or otherwise May now regret the error of their ways. He s got the right idea doubt aboard the Cutty i Sark More than old sailors will assent to the reminder coming from a retired mercantile Captain who served his apprenticeship in the Cutty Sark that the three most Beautiful sights in the world Are 1 a Beautiful woman. 2 a rising Sun and 3 a ship under sail. But when he after spending his life under sail and in steam Dovitts the necessity for training under sail the landlubber must be astonished by what seems to be the recanting of the one imperishable belief of All who sailed. This retired Captain infers eloquently and with Pride to his service in the Cutty Sark and the grandest Little Clipper Ever though honoured to have served his apprenticeship in her finder her Captain r. Woodget he believes that the training in sail was a Fine one from the Point of View of producing a Handy Quick thinking self reliant and courageous character but so is that of a Bushman or a rancher and Many other walks in the occasion of the discussion is the laying up of the Cutty Sark in what will probably be her last berth moored astern . Training ship for cadets in the thames the occasion might seem suitable for fresh recognition to be Given train ing in sail for service in steam. But the London times is authority for saying that the British admiralty regards training under sail As no longer necessary and that prescribing what is Good for the National welfare and of paper says i piously As Many proclaiming the Only Means by which National disaster can be i must think that much senti confine himself to the management of the railway mental nonsense has been written the emphatic declaration of the largely attended conservative convention leaves no vestige of doubt regarding Public sentiment. Or. Bennett had previously stated in parliament we cannot retrace our Steps and cancel Miles of track. Everybody knows in those words he expressed the Strong feeling of the country. Canada is not beaten it is going Forward not backward. Sir Edward Beatty now knows that the country is not going to accept his scheme for scrambling the two great Canadian railways. The persistent Campaign which he led with As much tact and skill As anyone could have put into it was simply at tempting the impossible. Canada will not abandon Large sections of railway still useful to the country. It is not going to do the things which he ventured to say were necessary to save the country from ruin. If sir Edward will now quit the role of of which he is the head he will do More for the improvement of the railway situation which he so greatly deplores. The Canadian Pacific railway though it has had its troubles in recent years has had less to worry about than some of the first class railways of the United states. The . Earnings from railway operation have not been sufficient to meet the annual fixed charges since 1931, but they have been paid with the supplementary Revenue from the consolidated mining and smelting company and other subsidiaries. Thus the . Bondholders have always been paid while Many american railways formerly in Good standing have defaulted. And the railway Outlook in Canada is at least As Good As that in the United states. The Campaign for amalgamation of our railways assumed that the country would take a defeatist attitude the Campaign was partly directed to encourage this. It also assumed strangely enough that the Public would fall in line with a plan chiefly concerned with strengthening position of the holders of . Bonds and Stock. And it is rather inexplicable that anyone could have believed it possible that a private railway monopoly could be established in Canada. But that is now All in the past. The Canadian National railway and the Canadian Pacific Are going to continue operation. The country has room for both of them and need for their services in the expansion and development which lies ahead. Ii the Canadian Pacific accepts this situation As no doubt it will and recognizes that the Canadian National is Here to stay As an efficient railway system competing with it in service to the country there is no reason Why it should not enjoy the Goodwill of the Public. Sir Edward Beatty is personally Well Canadian by birth and a Canadian citizen who has shown a worthy interest in various Fields outside that of transportation. His company has been closely connected with the opening up of the country and it is vitally interested in Canada s future. Sir Edward has had no real doubt about that the beneficial effect upon the railways of a succession of Good average crops in the West or about the inevitable increase in economic activity in the coming years through the general development of Canada s resources. That brightens the Prospect for the Canadian National and the Canadian Pacific railway two great and highly efficient transportation systems. About sailing Craft. The truth is that the Lile was a harsh one with very Little Romance about it. The ship herself is different As he Cutty Sark is most especially. For even the times though de Clining to be lyrical Over the Romance of sailing dwells on the beauties of this Lovely Little she is Back again where she cast off on her Maiden voyage to China 68 years ago. She is no myth. Her timbers and her tall masts Are not the imaginative creation in some boy s fiction. She is loveliest Craft on the thames though built nearly seventy years ago. For fifty years she was in regular service first in the China Tea Trade then in the australian Wool Trade and then finally As a tramp under the portuguese Flag. From that unseemly role she was rescued sixteen years ago when through the generosity of one Man she was Laid up at fal Mouth. But when two weeks ago the prettiest and the swiftest o All the clippers was brought round from Falmouth to be moored astern the training ship Worcester the Landsman May be forgiven i he cannot get his bearings when he listens to old sailors and even sailors who Learned their sailing in the Cutty Sark cast grave doubts on the value of training under sail for sailors who mus serve in steam. Edmund Burke a revision of the elections act was effected at the last session parliament which prohibits candidates from signing documents during a Campaign which would pledge them to certain courses of action after election.

Power quoted the famous Edmund Burke who in 1774, set his views on the subject in imperishable form. They Are words that remain applicable to especially under the conditions of sectional ism that afflict Canada. Burke addressed the e sectors of Bristol after the poll Tad been completed. He had been elected bin had heard his fellow member Tell the electors that he considered himself their Delegate to express their views at West Burke said my worthy colleague hours if that b. Is innocent. H government were a matter of will upon any Side yours without question ought to be Superior. But government and legislation Are matters of reason and judgment and not of inclination and what sort of reason is that in which the determination precedes the discussion in which one set of men deliberate and an other decide. To deliver an opinion is the right of All men but authoritative instructions mandates issued which the Mem Ber is bound blindly and implicitly to obey to vote and to argue for though contrary to the Clear est conviction of his judgment and Are things utterly unknown to the Laws of this land and which arise from a fundamental mistake of the whole order and Tenor of our Constitution. Parliament is not a Congress of ambassadors from different and hostile interests which inter ests each must maintain As an agent and an advocate but parliament is a deliberative Assembly of one nation with one a Twiest that of the whole where not local purposes not local prejudice sleep walking s fun from the London times a new walking record is reported to have been set up by an Indian gentleman at Feroze port the record was not for Mere Wak ing walking it was for sleep walking. Pandit Ramrakha ought to guide but the general Good resulting from the general reason of the whole.

Walked in his sleep for sixteen Miles most of them along the Steep and dangerous Bank of a canal. Many a sleep Walker has fright ened every one but himself by climbing out of the window Anc walking along the Edge of the roof. But sleep walkers do no Only walk. They have been known to swim Rivers to ride horses to draw water from a Well and carry the bucket to the House and Fil cans and things out of it without spilling a drop. They have been known to thresh Corn with a flail to make drawings to play Musica instruments but fortunately no to the familiar belief that a sleep Walker suddenly wakened will die Oil the spot is Only an exaggeration of the truth that the Shock would be very bad for him. Sleep walkers therefore enjoy so much Freedom of action that they a envied by Many of the wide awake. The fun of the real thing is ios to the sleep Walker himself.

Off and move into our at the Parish pump by . To rigorous delegations shout v ing denunciations of fascism my traffic commissions with equal gusto got Council in a Jolly mood on monday night for two hours of grave and erudite discus Sion of housing. One of the orators heaping coals upon fascism reached such a stage of Fervour that he accidentally made an allusion to the Good govern ment we enjoy in these parts. Alderman Simonite interrupted with a dry Are the orator with a fleeting and Wistful smile paused a moment to acknowledge hat his statement was perhaps faintly rhetorical. More mild humor was evoked when a restful gentleman from Aubrey Street put in. A quite scientific objection to the use of that thoroughfare As a bus route. We Are already saddled with a trunk he announced with tremendous Gravity. Mayor Queen actually got slightly pop eyed at this astounding information and even the boys at the press table had visions of sections of a trunk sewer Beutling up and Down Aubrey to the confusion of traffic and the horror of pedestrians. Well exclaimed mayor Queen with Correct interest that s a new one on then you should read up on your declared the expert delegation. Trunk sewers accentuate noise and vibration of and with buses on the restful gentle Man threw up his hands in gesture of extreme anguish. He went on to explain that every House owner but two had signed a petition objecting to the proposed bus route. One of the two was a Wor Fetn and she would not give any muttered a Sotto Voce at the press the other was a Man and the delegation paused discreetly Well he died that was a Good Way to be rid of commented Alderman Honeyman with grim pleasantry but the Alderman should have known better than to try to Pul that restful gentleman s leg the delegation flashed a wickedly humorous Eye on the genial chair Man of the finance committee Anc said with Sahara dryness yes but i m sorry to say he died in a the delegation Retiree with honors. Having thus been disposed o by delegations Council set one was not certain where shambles were to be. Yet traffic. Aubrey and the local Lack of housing. Put men to work and reduce the House ing shortage. Alderman demos thenes Morrison was not so sure when All the facts were consid ered thai such was the Case a cos As his mellifluous sentences rolled out the Alderman Morrison was sure that there would be shameful shambles somewhere. Alderman Honeyman displaying his familiar bulldog tenacity of purpose looked for something to it his Teeth into and pled with he committee to bring in plans for tin town or Garden City something Concrete at any rate. And so the discussion of scarcely blinding illumine Jon bobbed about for two weary hours. Weary hours for the press table that is but by no Means weary hours to the comely lady students in the galleries who Hung with bated breath to their perches and drank up the whacking words of Wisdom which the aldermen so capably sent out into the soft evening air that gently circulated in the chamber under the Busy fans. The fair ones were perhaps inspirations to the Aldermani Gentry who never need a second invitation to orate. But the press table boys got their notes of the meeting All confused with snatches of boughs and jugs of wine and thou s. Which in its own Way was no doubt inspiration too. Rabbits and moles in England from the Wallis Seton Shropshire journal have you Ever heard of a train Load of rabbits no Well ninety years old Robert Darlow of sex Fords Green Longden shrews Bury calculates that it would take at least one train to carry All the rabbits he has caught during his life time and that May be a conservative estimate for old Bob has caught As Many As 800 rabbits in eight nights at Wroxeter War. Although in his ninety first year Bob sets out regularly each morn ing at 6 o clock to inspect his traps and wires. He confines his activities now to neighbouring farms two of which together cover nearly 500 acres. A native Kimbolton Huntingdonshire Bob is one of a family of twelve. There were Little or no educational facilities in his boy Hood Days and at the age of nine he began work with his father who was Rabbit Catcher for the Duke of Manchester. At the age tied Down to business and 14 he was an efficient Rabbit through the reports of mole Catcher and started out with extraordinary alacrity his own on the Duke of bed to the disappointment of the galleries filled with Earnest estate the Duke s agent presenting him with a couple of ferrets 200 wires a dog and a of civic government.
