Baldwin and Wales Expected Early In August

(Canadian Press)

»O'l"l"AlWA, Ont., Feb. 7. -—‘Rumors that the Prince of Wales and Prent- ier Stanluy Baldwin would attend Dominion Day celebrations in Can- ada have been denied ‘both from London and Ottawa.

Misleading despatches sent out some time ago apparently gave rise in some quarters to the ideo. that they aimed to ‘be here before July. 1. This was never officially understood in Ottawa, it is stated. and the expectation now is that they will reach here early in August.

lOne of the principal functions they will attend is the formal open- ing oi’ the international bridge across the Niagara river at Fort lrie-lliufittlo, the scene of historic fights in early days. ‘

The fact should be borne in mind by those who are in the habit. of IiPlVInS their cars fast and furious- ly. Every prudent persou~man and woman alike-has always been carefuk-particularly cnreful—whgn guiding and directing a motor our, Bill» the“ are Dersons who take Pleasure “in going fast," even in the face of laws. rules and regula- tions. Such persons will, it may now be hoped. be more careful in the future than in the past, for they now know that they are liable to pay the cost of any mishap that may occur as a result of their care- lessness or negligence; and that, it their carelessness or negligence, or breach of the laws governing 81110 truffle‘. should cause the death of any person or persons they will be guilty of the awful crime of tnanslaughter. '

It matters not whether the guilty one be drunk, or sober, it he (or she) be negligent and careless the crime is the same. But the fact that a person who is under the in- fluence of infoxicuting liquor is more likely to be negligent and careless than one who is not, should cause persons who drive motor cars to be careful not to drink-not to take any kind of in- toxicant. in any form-before tak- ing the wheel of a car. That is the rule of autoists in San Eran- cisco and in other cities; it was the rule voluntarily adopted, even be- fore the Prohibitory Liquor Law was enacted. It was found that the smallest quantity of aniintoxi- cant was apt under the eye and hand unsteady and therefore apt to render the autcist unfit to direct his auto carefully and safely. Con- sequently the rule not to drink be- fore taking the wheel of a car was adopted and getterally observed; and it ought to ho observed here. ltcught to be the lnore particular- ly tibservetl here because the law of the land, enacted by the Legis- lature otl the authority oi‘ u maj- ority of the people, and by the re- prosetliutivc of the King, prohibits the use oi‘ intoxltzating liquor as a beverage.

HIKE TO CORNWALL. -— Last fflgnm lwellly young people left the Y and hiked to Cornwall for a "w" flllloyable skate. The walk» ins was not good but despite that, ‘he KYWD Only took one hour and l1 quarter to make the journey. Ar- riving WW6 they enjoyed a skate on an excellent sheet of ice. and later witnessed a game of hockey between Cornwall and a local team. Refreshments are provid- ed at the rink for a very moderate cost and any group who would like to enjoy an outing could do no bet- ter than either sleigh drivo or hike out to Cornwall. Over half a dozen ladies were in the party and helped to liven things up with

FORM ER ISLANDERS-Au Aus- tlll. Texas, despatch. Jan. 10th says: ‘Mr. Angus Macdouald was recently advanced from the position of Vice President to ‘that of Presi- dent of ‘the Southern Pacific Rail- way. "e was a. noted athlete when a. student at ‘St- Edward's Univer- sity. Austin, as well as at, Notre Dame University, Indiana. He ‘has ‘been located in New York ‘for more than a year. and it is probable he wrill remain there." The foregoing ‘item is copied from one of our ex- Ohflnges- We may not be able to claim this gentleman as “a success- ful Islander" abroad; but this much we surely may claim: I-lis father and mother were ‘both Islanders. The former was one of the Mne- donulds of Little Pond, and the lat- ter was Belle ‘Nlcliacllertt of Black Bush, King's ‘County. Before leav- ing the island, Mr. Mucdonald, Sr.. was a hridge-builden and Contract.- or. in the early 70's; and Miss Belle McEaeherti, whom he married shortly after. was a very popular school-mam and besides a capital violinist. The only near relative here now is Mrs. A. J. Biffiu who is a niece of Mrs. Macdonald; and the late Alf. ‘McEachern and his broth- er the late Jas. A, MoEachern, not- ed lawyer of New Yolk City were nephews.

case the punishment which the Chief Justice has imposed will not be deemed to be unduly harsh or prolonged. To the men them- selves it. will, certainly, be the lightest that they will endure. To know and feel, so long as they live. that they were the cause—when drunk or when sober, it matters not-of the sudden death of two of their companions and friends, will be to endure the pangs of remorse as long as they live. Their fate— the result of their negligence when in charge of a car in which other persons were passengers-is a warning to all who drive cars to obey the law, to observe the regul- ations affecting motor traffic and travel and to be careful. -—i-<-0>—-—
