Thp. Ottawa IhlJmimalfkMmif Campmny fCXlaua. Umttri FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1939. WHEN THE KINO ARRIVES. Then will be general approval, we should think, of the plan, for the arrival of the King and Queen in Ottawa next May 17, at 10 o'clock in the morning.

They will not leaye their train at the Union Station but in the grounds of the Central Experimental Farm (at Carllng avenue near Preton itreet), and their introduction to Ottawa will be through the crowd! that will line the Driveway from Dows Lake to Government House probably with a diveriion through the Exhibition' Ground. Thi 1 an excellent arrangement. The sta-Upn grounds are small for the ceremonial display of such an occasion, and the congestion in and around Connaught'Plsce, if Their Majesties were leaving their train at that point, would tie up traffic for hours. Most members of the crowd, furthermore, would be unable to have even glimpse of the royal party. But the six-mile drive that is proposed as the King's introduction to his Canadian capital will permit everyone to see him and the Queen in comparative comfort and without dangerous crowding and they, in their turn, will have a glimpse of some of Ottawa's most striking scenery and architecture.

It Is Important to understand that Ottawa, in the four days from Msy 17 to 20, probably will have more visitors than over before by many thousands from the surrounding area, from 'farther Canadian points, from neighboring states and those making the plans for the publie appearances of Their Majesties are keeping this fact in mind. MR. OONANT NEXTP Speculation over the Liberal leadership in Ontario which i means at the moment the premiership of Ontario is being printed in the newspapers, inspired by the possibility that Mr. HlFSCTOl'l state of health msy compel him to resign, and the name most prominently associated with the post 1 that of Mr. Conant, Mr.

Hzrtuurt Attorney General. Mr. Conant of late hat seemed to be the principal spokesman for the Administration most jol his speeches have been very sensible ones and it may be this situation is not without significance. The Attorney General was first elected to the Legislature) in 193T and became a member of the Cabinet almost at once. But before that time he had much experience with public affairs la the very thriving town of Oshawa, busy home of General Motors, where he was bora year ago.

He was deputy reeve, reeve and mayor of the town, and ten years lateran alderman for. Ha was water commissioner and public utilities commissioner of Oshawa. He was president of the Oshawa General Hospital for some years, and head of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce. i To complete the record: Mr. Conant is a lawyer and a K.C, a graduate of the University of Toronto with the degrees of B.A.

and LL.B., a Rotariaa, member of the United Church. He married daughter of Senator Smith of Winona, and. has two sons. Mr, CoaTAirr is called Gordon in newspaper Stories, but DAVItx in the Parliamentary Guide. His name is Goason Dahtjl.

Dam's, Conant is name that ought to be worth votes. THE SUNDAY LAW. Mr. NlXOir, Acting Premier of Ontario, has announced that if the Government permits' any "relaxation" of the Sunday laws of this province it will not go so far as to Include professional sports or Sunday movie. Mr.

Nixon, it it clear, has been hearing from the country not only the back concessions but the cttiat and towns. The intimation that the regulations for the observance of the Sabbath war to be changed, with a view to lifting soma restrictions, brought some approval, of course, but ah much and strong criticism. Many have taken the ground that while there are admitted anomalies in the present system, and some Injustices, it does secure to the vast majority Of the people of Ontario a day of rest and quiet; that an the Whole the Ontario Sunday is an institution worthy of saving, i The Attorney General, Mr. Conant, says he has not yet decided the form to be taken by his Sabbath-observance bill. A far-reaching measure would be resented bitterly in many and influential quarters, minor changes would not satisfy those who think Sunday should "be to Mr.

Conant perhaps will let well enough alone. FACTS AND FICTION. History it a somewhat noisy business nowt-days. Such a lot of sound goes to its making. Battles to the right, guerillas to the left, and undeclared wars carried on in unpleasantly dose places.

Fragmentary knowledge concerning conditions st sll points of the compass only tends to distort the general viewpoint. Facts, plain and unembellished, are what the world wants instead of unreliable statements intermingled with "Ifs end There must be a medium ground between the fantastic and the real, but it seems hard to find. Thinking people want the truth, and they get it from reliable sources, but having been fed with rumors find it hard to tell which is which. No one wants again to go through the strain of last September, neither would they wish this Dominion once more to be a secluded Canada such as it waa in 1137 when it toasted King William as lis monarch weeks after Queen Victoria had succeeded him.

ON "GETTING PUBLICITY" IN A MAGAZINE. It was Josh Billings who said that the trouble with the world was not that people didn't know things, but that they knew so many things that weren't to. The remark comet back to us on reading what tome of our M.P.'s think about how Col. Drew came to write his piece on the Brcn gun contract for Maclean's Magazine. They say he published it to get to promote his campaign for the Conservative leadership in Ontario.

It never seems to occur to these gentlemen that-the editor of the magazine or the publisher might have a say in the matter. Their idea, apparently, is that if wants publicity for himself, or propaganda for something or somebody, all he has to do is to walk in on some magazine or newspaper editor and say "Here, publish whereupon the editor falls over himself to oblige. Well, all we can say is that we'd like some of them to try It, some time. A magazine like Maclean's receives, on an average, something like 10,000 manuscripts in the courts of year. It maintains a staff of trained men to read those manuscripts, to sort them out to discover the articles or stories among them that may be of public interest, and those thus sorted out perhaps not more than 200 out of the 10,000 must then pass the scrutiny of the editor himself.

In the majority of cases, of course, the editor maps out the articles he decides he wants, has them prepared by his own staff, or by regular contributors. The lest type of srticle he wants the thing he always rejects is the article that is merely publicity or propaganda. If he did publish such articles he wouldn't long be editor. So with the daily newspaper. Every day newspapermen meet people who say: "Here's something for your And while it often happens that some of these people want to be helpful, and offer something of interest, it more often happens that they want publicity or propaganda for something that is of no general public interest.

They teem to think, however, that a newspaper will print mostly anything, that it it hard up for must, somehow "fill up its Actually, the problem of a newspaper, as that of a magazine, is a problem of selection, of rejection. Each issue more matter has to be thrown away than can possibly be printed, with the result that the real task of the editors is to know or even to guess what the public really want moat In the case of the article in Maclean's on the Bren gun contrsct, The Journal happens to know that it was decided upon and planned by the magazine itself; and that Col. Drew's connection with it was simply that as a contributor to the magazine, as one who had written on armaments and- who knew something about stocks and securities, he wss selected by the editor to writ it. The matter of Col. Drew being a candidate for the Ontario Conservative leadership wouldn't enter into the affair at all.

CA.MILLIEN HOUDES SILLY TALK. As mayor of Montreal Mr. CAMILLirn Houde has a loud sounding board for anything he msy ssy. As Mr. Houde seems to have a propensity for saying foolish things, It it a great pity.

Yet, as the Irish Journalist said in Montague'! "A Hind Let Loose" there should be some limit to "the permissible economy of and when Mr. Houde says that in any war between England and Italy French-Canadians would tide with Italy, he seems to have exceeded that limit It is a long time since anything mora absurd ha been said by anybody in a position of responsibility. In any war between England and Italy, France would be on the tide of England. Tq argue that in such a case French-Canadians would be against the nation which guarantees their liberty, and also against the nation which it their mother country, is to argue against nature, We could write about this, but won't Mr. Hotjnt't remarks aren't worth it.

Recalling that extremely vital if slightly theatrical figure, with the curled moustache and vivid dark eyes, familiar to London's crowds at Royal funerals and coronations in the pre-war days, it is hard to picture the All Highest as an octogenarian. But, as old John o' Gaunt observed, there is no arresting the wrinkled pilgrimage of Time even on royal faces, and the exile of Doom is a vastly different figure from the Protean arUst of Unter den Linden. The ex-Kaiser has been 20 years' at Doom. The Dutch villagers made festival in honor of his greet family gathering at the cas- Ue. It was arranged by the ex-Kauer's favorite grandson.

Prince Ferdinand of Prussia, and about a dozen relatives were present who had not visited Doom for some time. Prince Ferdinand, who knows London well, was the first of the Hoheiuollerns received at Buckingham Palace after the War. Last year he married a Russian Grand Duchess who was one of the Duchess of Kenfs bridesmaids. organization. The Brass Hats have, ever since the war ended as wen as during it been quite unable tn make up their minds what they want in the wayvof machine-gun strength.

First they had meagre machine-gun equipment for each battalion of infantry. Then they Instituted a special Machine-Gun Corps. Then they disbanded the machine-gun battalions In favor of machine-gun companies for each infantry battalion. Three years ago it was thought finality had been reached at last. But now the tt machine-gun bat talion provided by the 135 reorganization have been reduced to right, the remaining IS reverting to their former estate.

excuse for this fresh change is the high ratio of Bren guns now possessed by our Infantry battalions, or soon to be so sessed. Amongst the former chine-gun battalions so reverttng will be, when they return from their Palestine duty, the famous 1st Royal Scots, known as Pon tius Pilate's Bodyguard. Scbeel Training.

It is difficult to Imagine Tarragona, most picturesque oldtown in all Spain, caught up the kauuoa coils of modern war. ft bravely oaa hill about half as high ss Leith Hill In Surrey, with the Inevitable cathedral on the top, where centuries earlier stood the stout Roman citadel, and with dark steep alleys below.

In other words.

Just as Mr. Forster's Victorian Act wanted to ensure at least a literate electorate, so this 20th-century scheme desires to equip our electorate with educational safeguards agmnst delusive propaganda.

Bear in mind that a horse has to have breakfast, and time to eat It It may be advisable to do a HtUe curry combing on his hide. After that, you wrestle with the sUff harness. If the morning Is frosty, you warm, the bit. so as not to take the skin off the animal's tongue. If about to drive over country roads, the shafts must be hoisted from centre of the sleigh or cutter to one side.

And while travelling, you are out In the weather with the horse; they don't have closed-model cutters and sleighs. The speed is limited, end so is the length of the Journey; a horse Is not a machine.

One manufacturer's chart shows battery efficiency only 40 percent, at zero, known as "Seeley's The postal authorities do not like that particular rendering: they call It "Seeljrs and the geographers, with their traditional dislike for apostrophes, officially mark it "Seeley Is it any wonder that the people living in the village itself are rather puzzled about its correct name?

There ere a few other thing that might be wrong with the IgniUon system, and sometlmea a cylinder gets stuck; but it all comes down to keeping the car in good trim. Most people don't bother about an inspectioo until trouble is encountered, and that is quite likely to be on cold morning.

As far as that goes, if there is anything radically wrong with his insides horse won't start, either: and it takes longer for veterinary to fix him up than for a gar-ageman to change a battery. The horse Is a noble animal and at times essential to transportation. Up in Huron county the other day, we noticed horsedrawn vehicles outnumbered cars about five to one, even on the highway: but that was due to exceptionally heavy snowfall blocking sideroads to wheeled traffic. Probably by new the ratio will have been reversed. The fact is that Winter performance of the present-day motorcar is highly efficient Only a few years ago it was customary to lay up the family bus until Spring, rather than wrestle with Its numerous shortcomings In cold weather.

In any event the first cost is also the last for a woman's hat.

Many hotels and restaurants have rack or stands whereon a man customer may deposit his hat while he eats, but to the man of substance, who has to maintain a certain status, or who ordinarily patronizes the class of dining-room where hats have to be his hat costs far more In the long run than almost any woman's hat does.
