of Sherbrooke Coun-y for a second time placed their confidence in Mr.Armand C.Cre-peau in the Provincial elections yesterday when they gave him a majority of a little over four hundred over his opponent, Mr.J.Cyrenus Morin (IflberaH ).Mr.Crepeau\u2019s majority over Mr.C.E.Therrien (Libera! ) in the bye-election of I 9:2i3 -was 2'0d, half of that secured in the present voting.With Mr.Crepeau's re-election SLIhehcrooke County again goes under the Conservatives banner.For some twenty years previous to 1-928 Sherbrooke had been a Lib-'.rall stronghold, each year the people sending a Liberal candidate to the Ancient Capital.Then in 1923 the situation was changed and Sherbrooke found itself with three candidates in the field, Messrs.O\u2019Bread y.(Conservative) Dr.L.Forest (Liberal) and C.C.Cabana, (Independent).Mr.O\u2019Bread y was the choice and went to O-uobec as the first Conservative candidate to represent Sherbrooke in a quarter *- of a century.Shortly after his election fate willed otherwise and upon his death a bye-election was necessitated, which was held on in 1924, when Mr.Crepeau ran as the Conservative candidate and Mr.C.E.Therrien, as Liberal.Voting throughout the county yesterday was quite brisk, especially in the afternoon, although some of the officials remarked that at their roils they had not been over-crowded.The poCls closed at seven o\u2019clock (summer time) and shortly after the results started coming in.Within an hour practically all the city molls had been heard from.Mr.Eugene Oliver, the returning officer.received the ballot boxes and kindly allowed members of the members of the press to be present at his office and to use his phone in broadcasting the results.Mr.Oliver\u2019s kindness was of gruat assistance in getting the results to the public quickly and efficiently.As soon as the results reached (Continued on page 10) STATISTICS OF QUEBEC HOUSE Declares Canadians Will Have No Trouble In Crossing Border Into United States Washington Post Says Canada Has No Basis for Finding Fault With a Rule that Excludes Aliens Who Attempt to Enter United States in Disregard of U.S.Law.(Canadian Prêt* De«patch) WASHINGTON, D.C., May 17.\u2014The\tWashington Post, which strongly supports tha Coolidge Administration, in an article today says: \u2018\u2018Thers is excitement in Canada over the American immigration order that will exclude a few aliens masquerading as Canadians.About 20,000 workers cross the line daily, mostly between Windsor and Detroit.All of them are required to pay head tax, hut Canadian citizens will have no difficulty in going and coming.There are in Canada, however, a few aliens who have found the United States more attractive than Canada, and they have been working on this side.They will be excluded unless they can obtain quota numbers from the country of their origin.\u2018\u2018Canada has no basis for finding fault with a rule Hint excludes aliens who attempt to enter this country in disregard of the.law, but Canada may well be concerned with the movement of her citizens to this country.Last year Canada lost 100,000 of these citizens, mostly young and ambitious men.Their emigration greatly offsets the influx of fresh blood into Canada from Europe.Canada finds it difficult to hold these immigrants, as they soon discover that they can obtain profitable employment in the United States.The new order, which will exclude them from this country, will operate to the advantage of Canada.\u201d The Post goes on to refer to the \"undesirable elements\u201d and says \u201csooner or later the quota rule must be applied against Mexico.\u201d The Post also refers to deportable aliens and the difficulty every country has in meeting demands that its 'nationals abroad betaken back because they are insane or public charges.\"Canada has about, twenty-five American citizens whom it is supporting at public expense and cannot understand why the United Slates persists in refusing to receive them/\u2019 the Post sara- The Liberals under the Premiership of Hon.Mr.Taschereau, were returned to power in the Quebec general election

as the Eastern Townships district is concerned remains the same as in the last House as the result of the general elections held yesterday.As was the case in the last general election on February 5th, 1923, with the single exception of Sherbrooke County, the Eastern Townships returned a solid vote in favor of the Taschereau Government.In fact, in the majority of counties the Liberal candidate polled larger majorities than was the case in the previous election, while two of the Eastern Townships constituencies,\u201cShefford arid Wolfe, went Liberal by acclamation.The most outstanding victory registered was that of Hon.L.Lapierre, of Thetford Mines, Minister without portfolio in the last cabinet, with a majority of 2454 over his Conservative opponent, Mr.H.A, Chabot, of Black Lake, which was even an increase over his outstanding majority in the last general election against Mr.A.Provencher (Conservative).The Liberal majorities in Stanstead and Missisquoi were reduced as compared with the figures in the previous election.Another feature of the returns is that the Eastern Townships will be represented by exactly the same members that sat in the last Legislature.A summary of the results in the Eastern Townships follows: ARTHABASKA\u2014Hon.J.E.Perrault (Liberal), re-elected.BROME\u2014W.R.Oliver (Liberal) re-elected by a majority of 606 over F.Fyles (Conservative) and

irregular memory; the percentage of sun stroke, the latter giving figures shotting that from 80 to 90 per cent of eun strokes were due to alcoholism.Dr.Hart here explained that young people should do nothing to injure brain, nerve system and heart.He added : \u201cDon\u2019t take alcohol to keep warm\u201d, and referred to Nansen, as his picture was thrown on the screen, as a man who proved that alcohol was not needed by men-in the frozen north, they were better off without it.The realms of sport was a section of the practical address that the great athletes were absta'ners, at least when taking part in big things.The great marathon runners were mentioned as examples.The realms of work was also interesting, as the figures regarding accidents in big factories, and also as to men getting uositions, were convincing in themselves The strict £fcnd\"oiga* i7in law ^ of Michigan as to railway - '\t\u2022 - employees was reviewed, the speaker explaining that it was the first law of its kind in the United States.A chart was shown giving the percentage as to safety and longevity in various lines of tvork.This showed that men who worked in bar-rooms had the poorest chance in both, and Dr.Hart drew attention to the fact that \u201cthe safest men are the clergy\u201d.Another interesting chart was that showing why the first work day of the week was \u201cBlue Monday\u201d, the reason being the increase of strong drink over the week-end.In closing his illustrated address, Dr.Hart spoke of the great need of education in the furthering of temperance, and the picture thrown on the screen had the words: \u201cThe Government of Canada rests upon the Home, the School, the Church, the Ballot-box.\u201d A hearty vote of thanks was extended to Dr.Hart by Rev.Alfred Bright, seconded by Mr.R.Smith, and the singing of the hymn,\u201cCount Your Blessings\u201d, and the benediction closed the evening\u2019s meeting.A social hour followed, when dainty refreshments were served by the members of the Society.Before Forming An Opinion,Let Us ViewThe Subject From All Angles, Then BeWiliingToAccept Criticism l$Aoum.Qwi.TODAY\u2019\u2019 QUOTATION: \u201cTHE DEEPEST* THING IN LIFE NOT IN HAPPINESS;
