During the recent somewhat un- usually heaivy snowstorm the for- ward-iooking prophets predicted n fenrfully severe winter of which this was but. a sample. The prcdio tion may well unneeded. in fact, the probability is that this very severe storm may have been the means of clearing up the weather for some time to come. but neither 6t this does any man know-

The only weather prediction of which we have any knowledge. that was fulfilled to the hour. was the Baxby gale of 1869. And this was rather a mathematical and astrono- mical calculation than a prediction. Two or three of the planets were to be in conjunction on that day. and their combined attraction was logically expected to greatly lu- croase the height of the tides and to cause other torrential derange- ment. end it did. _

The winter into which we were suddenly plunged last Monday _will run its course with no relation to this norm.- lt may foe stormy or otherwise, and we shall knowohly when the weather arrives, with a comparatively accurate forecast twehtrfonr hours before the w» tlcnler brand of weather is meted. out to us. Beyond twenty-four hours we know nothing.

recently in Montreal, Judge Monet, of that city, referred to the news- paper as a "terrible force," able to mould public opinion for good 0i‘ evil, able to make or break politi- cians, to build up or pull down trade.

Fortunately in this dominion the “terrible force" of the newspaper is rarely exerted for evil. v True. it is sometimes used by wily poll- ticlitne to further their own ends. but. on the whole, the press of Canada is devoting its time ttnil strength to the building up of the country, its trade and its best in- terests.

lt was fitting that the power oi the press should be emphasized at a ccnrvention of retail merchants. They. of all others, need the press. Without it they could do no busi- ness. Their interests and those of the press are mutual. each needs the other and. working together in a common cause, the country as a whole is benefited.

This is the season of the your when the power of the press is most felt in the commercial world. The appetite for huyinz is being crested by publicity, it directs the buyer, suggests to him, tells him what he needs and were he can get it . ‘What would the Christmas trade be without ptubliclty?

There are “bread lines” in many a private home today where the humlliatlons are even greater than those of the street. Perhaps you have seen one yourself.

Maybe there is just one per- son ln it, an elderly relative or friend of the household, not overly welcome, who must always take the end seat, the last of the loaf, the weak cup, because of poverty and helplessness.
