Ont., Sept. £22 The e opleUntario are exercised over the discussion in the Mont real Anglican synod on the low birth rate in Ontario. The situa tion has been ascribed by the ministers largely to causes over which persons have absolute con* trol and the matter involves ques tions of grave moral responsibili ty. Another reason given is the em ployment of women in stores and elsewhere, driving men to other fields and thus lessening the mar riage rate, which in Ontario, is far below that of any country in the world. The migration of young men from rural districts is another cause of the low birth rate. VENGEANCE Visited Up n Alleged Negro Murderer.
