Sir: The following letter has been addressed to the secretary of the Central council of the Canadian Labor party by Instruction of the People's Political Education association, and said association requests that copies of such letter be sent to the Edmonton papers for publication: Sec. Central Council.

Canadian Labor Party, Edmonton. Dear Sir and Brother At a meeting of the People's Political association on Wednesday evening, October 23, 1929, at their place of meeting, 301 Empire block, the following resolution was passed: "That the association wishes It to be understood that it did not at any time nominate C. E. Burford as an aldermanlc candidate, but did endorse his probable candidature as was done with others. The report In the paper this week Is an error.

This association doesn't nominate anyone for any office, civic or governmental. Its members, however, are likely to oppose any candidate who violates the principle of public ownership of public utilities and of true democracy by refusing the registration of their votes In matters most vital to their best interests. Further, that we do believe that certain Labor alderman did intentionally or unintentionally, violate the mandate of the people of action until he had returned from a trip to the coast. Since then, however, there has been nothing said about the matter. The mayor will bring the question up again this evening by A change In the presidency of the Canadian National Railways would have been unfortunate for that enterprise.

In the seven years since Sir Henry Thornton assumed charge its position has been entirely altered. There Is no longer any talk of its being a white elephant, but the task assigned to him is far from completed and It is therefore welcome news that his contract has been extended for another five years. It lias been necessary to Increase his salary to $75,000 a year, which is $10,000 in excess of that which he has received recently and $25,000 beyond the original amount. There will, however, be little disposition, In view of the Importance of retaining his services, to question the wisdom of the new arrangement. The un Involved is small as compared with the lass that could easjly be sustained if a less capable man became the railway's head.

reporting on the progress he has made. This would be regarded only as a means of getting the matter "on the agenda." There are far more Important issues at stake than a mere agreement between merchants and clerks. There is the effect on the city as a trading centre. What about this? The council, it is safe to bay, has not studied this angle sufficiently. A thorough investigation is the only way.

No political party has come forward with a proposal to spend any large sum of money on navy building in Canada. This indicates that the Canadian people are prepared to take a chance and that they believe the people's money can be used to better advantage than on building warships. If they are guessing wrongly it will be their own misfortune and the consequences will have to be accepted. Reglno Leader. Tlie waiters save th8 women and children.

It must have been a little birdie told It that bit of "news." By Lukln Johnston Eirncmon Jounul'i London Buietu) A whole chain of mild adventures hung upon my chance meeting with Mr. Micliael Had it not been for this fortunate encounter, probably I should never have discovered South Hurting, one of the prettiest villages In the south of England: I should never have bid seventeen pounds, ten shillings for a weedy-looking cow at Petersfield market; should never have found the grave of my great-giandmother In a tiny Hampshire churchyard; and. finally, I might never have glimpsed the flowing red beard and merry eye of Brother Francis of the Carthusian monastery at Cowfold, whose story must wait for another time. Now Mr.

Michael Austen's only part in this chronicle of my wanderings is that his thirsty and woebegou appearance seemed to call for Immediate stimulant in the form of a mug of ale. By a strange chance, moreover, he was readily able to inform me that the nearest place to obtain such stimulant was at The Ship Inn at South Harting not far from where we met; and thus It happened that I came to a full stop at this remote Sussex village. I met him, as a matter of fact, in a narrow lane when we came suddenly face to face across a hedge, both of us In the act of picking blackberries. Michael Austen, to be exact, is a tramp a "gentleman of the road." Of course we began to talk, between mouthfuls. He had a week's growth of black beard on his chin.

Otherwise he was fairly clean, though his clothes were in tatters and his only possessions consisted of a small gunnysack containing a tinker's outfit and some old tin cans. "Blackberries are good, aren't they?" I hazarded. "Yes, mate, they are specially If they're the only food you've had for two days," said Mike. Now here, it seemed, was a situation requiring explanation. I learned that Michael had been "on the road" for seven of his total thirty-eight years.

In pre-war days he bad been apprenticed to a jeweller in Birmingham, but since he "joined up" in 1914 he had never had steady work for more than six weeks at a stretch. Unfortunately he is only one of many thousands in similar plight. Michael readily agreed to direct me to The Ship 'Inn and together we made our way down the hill towards the green spire of the little church nestling in the trees behind the Downs. Soon we came to the village and in the bar an enormously fat boy served us with a tankard of ale apiece. I liked tlie ale; I liked the merry face of the Very Fat Boy and, most of all, I was attracted by the peaceful beauty of South Harting's little High street with the green-spired church at the end of it.

Presently Michael and I parted company he to take th road again, and I to linger here a space and rest my weary brain in a not-too-strenuous study of "Rural life in Britain" at first band. To the Very Fat Boy I said, "Do you think I could have a room here for tonight? The VJ.B. looked somewhat alarmed, breathed "Hallowe'en Apples!"

The court decided he should effect a constitutional amendment. senate appointments.

"But what If the men, for their part, are so un-gallant as to refuse to summon them?" it asks, and answers: "The lftdies may be depended upon to take care of that possibility." Women's advice may help, the Montreal Star says, remarking: Barbarian tribes did not let women attend their deliberations in person, but. as Lord Sankey points out. they did not despise the advice of women. Today's judgment opens tlie ranks of our senior deliberative assembly to that advice. The Regina Leader is more taken with speculations as to the first summons.

It says: "Canada now awaits the appointment of her first woman last election on public ownership of public utilities by entering into an agreement with the Calgary Power company."

Yours fraternally, J. W. MacQueen.

Sec. PP.E.A. The privy council has decided women have the right to sit in toe senate, but a chorus of Canadian editorial opinion has promptly arisen to assure us all that this does not mean women will sit in the senate, at least not in any hurry. For Instance, the Toronto Star points out: "It has not been decided that women must be appointed to tlie senate of Canada, but only that they are not precluded by our federal constitution from being so appointed." The Calgary Herald rises to remark that few women meet the qualifications at present in vogue. It says: Hitherto membership in the red chamber has been conferred-on former members of the house of commons or on men who have performed valuable financial or political service for the party in power.

So far few if any women can qualify on that baiis. There are no former woman members of the house of commons and few have contributed heavily to the party chest. The Toronto Mail and Empire feels that "it is not likely that many women will be called to the second chamber. That women as a body would be gratified by having one or two of their sex in that house of parliament may be granted, but they may be not over-enthusiastic about senator.

Tlie Province says that the lowering of C.P.R. rates from Montreal to Edmonton will hurt the B.C. Sugar Refining company. It is also said that the Vancouver merchants have decided to petition the CPU. to so reduce the freight rates from the coast to Edmonton that the effect of the recent reduction from Montreal will be neutralized.

From the files of the Journal of October 28, 1913 "No Militants need apply" runs a headline on the woman's page, In announcing that "the meeting called for 3 o'clock In All Saints schoolroom to discuss women's suffrage will be dignified and orderly. Canon Webb has kindly consented to take the chair. No militants or agitators will be made welcome. A few minutes will be allowed at the close of the address by Prof. Alexander for general discussion." A meeting of the Royal Curling club becomes stormy when it Is Informed that the rink company proposes to charge $2,000 rental for the ensuing year's occupancy of the building.

Limiting of the membership to 160 also was protested, but no definite action was taken. and old pillow slips or sugar bags, and by the increasing number of false faces seen cn residential streets of an evening, one may know that Hallowe'en is near at hand again. Like December 25, October 31 is one of the dates on the calendar on which all children keep a shai-p eye. To be sure the small shops make certain the youngsters are thorouglily reminded, but even without this obvious jogging of their memories, one may be sure the boys and girls would not forget. Possibly the recent announcement by Chief of Police Shute that the curfew law was going to be rigidly enforced was prompted by the approach of Hallowe'en.

But Hallowe'en is the children's night out and surely, if they are not too violent In their merry-making, no ogre of a big policeman will disturb them. Perhaps it is a hope to lessen possibility of such clashes between police and youth, between harassed grown-ups and too mischevious little ones, that has prompted several cities and towns to institute community celebrations of Hallowe'en. Victoria has become noted in past years for this kind of affair, and recent Ontario papers tell of the plans of the Kiwanlans in Saskatchewan and Compulsion We don't want the wheat of tlie non-pool farmer, President McFhail of the Saskatchewan pool declared at a meeting In North Battleford on Thursday night, unless we get him as a member. We want his goodwill as well as his wheat. For some time after Mr.

Sapiro's visit neither Mr. McPhail nor any of the other Saskatchewan pool officials made any attempt to meet the movement to Introduce compulsion. Their failure to do so brought criticism and it was asked If they had changed their opinions since June, when the annual meeting went definitely on record against the Sapiro proposal. The president has now, however, broken his silence. The North Battleford address followed a lengthy statement that he had made in the columns of the Western Producer.

While holding no brief for the farmer who freely acknowledges the value of the pool but who, for purely selfish reasons, remains outside, he did not Intend to allow his Impatience with Japanese Growing By D.

It says: "The Judgment of toe privy council is undoubtedly a triumph for the feminine cause In Canada. It gives to women a right of entry to a position of authority and responsibility.

heavily, and dived behind a curtain to make i enquiries. I "Might it be bed and breakfast you would be needing?" said he, poking his untidy head round the curtain. "It might," I replied and the pact was sealed. I became a temporary resident of South Harting. Now to study rural or any other kind of life at close quarters you must take full part in the people's activities.

When, therefore, I read a notice to the effect that that very evening there would be a grand meeting of the League of Nations Union in the British Legion hall, I decided that I ought to be on hand to get the viewpoint of the South Hartingites on world-affairs. Thereafter I could meet the local worthies in the taproom of The Ship or The White Hart, Three hours was 'left me before this momentous meeting and this Interval I put In In a ten-mile walk through such hamlets as East Harting, Elsted, Treyford and Diddling, talking to such laborers as I met and ruminating on the hard lot of the English farmer. Turning southward on my return journey I breasted the steep slope of the Downs and revelled In the sea breeze that blew keen In my face along the top of the treeless hills. Eight o'clock found me at the back of the British Legion Hall to see how eagerly the populace wished to hear of the League of Nations. The excellent little hall would hold, I judge, about 100 people when well filled.

When I arrived the chairman was on the platform and the audience consisted of thirteen children, whose ages ranged from four to fourteen, and fifteen grown-ups, Including the chairman and two speakers. Frankly I was disappointed, but our waning spirits were flagged to some semblance of enthusiasm by community singing by the children and a recitation by a teacher Imported from a neighboring village. munity from the evil spirits that are abroad on this evening when graveyards are supposed to yawn. Some grown-ups are Scotch enough to demand a song or dance from the visitors before the apples or peanuts or what not are handed over. But the practice contains the idea of parading and singing and shouting when garbed In motley and it Is evidently this feature that the Brantford club has seized upon to make a success of a community celebration.

The experiment will be worth watching. It may even contain a hint for community leagues and similar organizations in Edmonton. Everyone wants the children to have all the wholesome fun possible on Hallowe'en, but If left entirely to their own devices It need surprise no one if the busy minds of small boys lead their still more active bodies into real mischief. Poor Pa! By Claude Callan of the structure and spirit of the organization, which we have so carefully and laboriously built up." He believed that to force a man to sell through the pool would weaken and not strengthen it. At any rate It was quite unlikely that any responsible government would sponsor the necessary legislation.

If it did, it would be bound to demand representation In the pool bodies In order to protect the Interests of those whom it was compelling to market their wheat through this agency. In fact it could step In at any time and dictate policy, which would not be to the liking of the voluntary poolers. Compulsion and co-operation were "quite the opposite of each other In meaning and effect." But Mr. McPhail went on to say: Why cannot the advocates of this policy, if they wish, continue to create such public sentiment as they can and why cannot the government, in the event of such legislation being passed, set up an agency for the merchandising of non-pool wheat. Such a course would lift the whole question out of the pool Itself and enable it to develop unhampered as a free, voluntary, one-hundred-per-cent.

co-operative organization. At the same time the danger of the non-pooler and his wheat, which so many feel is a menace to the cooperative organization, would be removed. The suggestion which is evidently made as a concession to those conducting the agitation, with the t-oject of mitigating the dissension in the pool ranks that has arisen is open to almost as strong objections as the plan put forward by Mr. Baplro. Those who wish to sell their wheat through the private grain trade are entitled to do so.

No government is likely to set up another organization through which they would be forced to market their products, when thoy have evinced no desire to have this done. The pool would be as unwise to ask for such action as it would be to fall completely In line with Mr. Sapirc's ideas. The only safe course for it Is to continue on the lines that it has hitherto followed. It has achieved striking success in the six years that have elapsed since the undertaking was launched.

Breathing Through the Mouth By Royal S. Copeland, M.D. ing." Instead of passing through the nose for wanning and cleansing, the cold air, filled with dirt and other impurities, is taken through the mouth Into the throat and lungs. Sore throat, laryngitis, bronchitis and even more seriovjs aliments are produced in this way. The health suffers In consequence.

There are no cha'rs, no chesterfields or so as, no bedsteads, no long-legged tables.

The blood-vess sels are compressed, the blood doesn't get to all parts of the body with th freedom It might, and growth Is retarded. There is a distinct tendency In Japan to get away from the kneeling posture. Business offices in the cities, where thousands of Japanese, both men and women, are employed, are fitted out, with modern office furniture, just' like offices In Vancouver or Edmonton or New York.

The large stores are modelled after the large stores In American cities. It ls perhaps in the schools, however, that the change ls being brought about' most rapidly. In the schools of Japan the children sit on benches and work at desks. Just like Canadian children, and to facilitate the sitting at desks, and the sports which take place In the gymnasium, or school yard, they wear western dress, the boys a grey Jacket with trousers or shorts, when they have not a moro expensive uniform; the girls a blouse and skirt. Sport is the third factor In increasing the stature of the Japanese.

Wrestling and fencing were the Japanese sports In the old feudal days, and they are still followed. But the real enthusiasm ls for the western sports, such as baseball, football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, golf and swimming, and the fondness for these sports are a factor In the gradual abandonment of the traditional Japanese dress. There are stadiums in the large cities that will accommodate tens of thousands of spectators, and crowds may be seen any afternoon, when a baseball game Is on, round the score boards before the newspaper offices or radio shops. All the schools give attention to sport and gymnastics. Tokyo has more than a hundred primary schools witli flat roofs, where children can be drilled and put through exercise in fine weather, and when It rains they go In relays to the gymnasium.

It must be content with strengthening itself by the results that it is able to show from year to year, on the basis of which additions can be made to its membership. Tiring at length of waiting for the crowds who did not come, the chairman delivered a fifteen-minute speech on the history of the League. He was followed by a local minister who addressed himself for ten minutes to the children on the horrors of war and their good fortune to be present on such an Inspiring occasion.

Eventually, the chairman, in a second speech of ten minutes, introduced the speaker of the eveninga 19-year-old undergraduate from Oxford. It was, so the minister untactfully Informed us, the young man's first effort at public speaking and right nobly he acquitted himself in a brief effort. If, at the conclusion of his remarks, someone had struck up the national anthem, all would have been well, but, unfortunately, both the cliairman and the minister each had another speech to make and by the time they had finished most of the children were either asleep or crying bitterly. The meeting broke up In some disorder and the collection netted only ten coppers and one sixpence. a I found a much larger and more enthusiastic gathering at The White Hart a little later where all the village worthies the tailor, assistant school-master, the grocer, the chauffeur from "the Hall" and sundry farmers discussed affairs of state over their beakers of ale In an atmosphere of good-fellowship blue with smoke.

Much more important than the League of Nations in this mock parliament was the shortage of water in the wells owning to the drought, the lack of winter feed for the dairy cattle, tlie prospects of the coming soccer season and the prices likely to rule for pigs at Petersfield market on the following day. All these weighty matters we discussed back and forth until the landlord looked In sharp at 10 o'clock with "Time, gentlemen, please." The nightly conclave being thus ended, we filed out Into the inky blackne.ss of the village street. Candle In hand I made my way gingerly up the creaking stairs of The Ship Inn and decided that I would be a farmer on the morrow and visit Petersfield market. (Copyright, Soutlum Pub. ltd.) But this is not all.

The department of roads Another Saskatchewan pool official, Brookes whJtewgh houses Catton of Hanley, takes much surer ground than All the functions of the body are important. Most of them f3 more than are essential to life. If this organ or that should stop work, death would follow sped-ily. We cannot get on without air and lots of it. The breathing function must be performed regularly, quietly, unceasingly.

The air ls taken through the nostrils. The nasal tissues form a passageway, but what they do ls much more helpful than to act merely as a passageway for the air we breathe. Nature has made the nose so ingeniously that the small has been multiplied in its usefulness by the addition of three shelves of bone. They are called the "turbinated bodies." Over the turbinates and under the shelving surfaces, overlying the septum the partition between the two sides of the nose and throughout the nasal cavities, the mucous membrane Is spread. This membrane is quite thick.

It Is packed full of blood vessels. This makes an arrangement for ths heating of the air passing through the nostrils. There ls yet another useful arrangement. The cells that cover the mucous membrane are "ciliated." That is, they are hair-like. They wave hi the breeze like a field of wheat, microscopic wheat.

Vou will ask at once, "What is this strange plan intended to accomplish?" Its purpose ls to filter out of the air passing through the nostrils all the dust and dirt, as well as the germs of disease, thus you see, toe air we breathe Is filtered and cleansed and warmed. Before it reaches the lungs It is purified and prepared for reception by the delicate air cells. It goes Into them In proper condition for its use there. Unfortunately, neglect of the nose, failure to get rid of colds and Improper care of the body may. result hi disease of the nasal tissues.

In consequence the mucous membrane becomes swollen and abnormally thickened. When tlie nasal tissues are Inflamed the glands contained within It become overactive. They throw out quantities of thick mucus. This serves to clog the nose still more. Tho swollen tissues and the mass of mucus mako it Impossible to get air through the nose.

But so far as the non-pooler was concerned Mr. Catton did not see that the pool organization "should be brought Into the picture at all." Why, he asked, should we ask the government to help him, a thing we would be doing by seeking compulsory legislation? We do not want any help.
