Mr. Mackenzie King and his Id- lowers, according to a dspatoh in yesterday's Guardian. have served notice that they would "prolong the debate and battle to the lsst ditch before allowing the measure to pass through the House.”

Our farm and fishery producers need not be unduly alarmed at this threat, however. The bill may he held up temporarily by Liberal op- . {position speechmnking, but the Gov- _ ernnaentfs substantial majority in the House will ensure its enactment.

England has a good deal of graft still, in spite of legislation against bribery and strenuous efforts by private organizations.

With all its faults the democratic sys- tem is the most effective prophylac- tic against graft that has been de- vised. The only reason intelligent people have for believing in the virtual graft-freedom of Russia in the publication from time to time o1 detsiis of the merciless punish- ments that have been inflicted on alleged grafters.

His only pleasure was in doddering about his laboratory, but one day his heart failed him-and he died regrettim that a charitable physician had not dispatched him to the other world right after his birth. When his will was read it was found that the 1n- oorne from the greater part of his enormous fortune was to be used every year for awards to those peo- ple who, in the preceding year. had achieved most for the benefit of mankind. 1n accordance with this old man's wishes five Nobel prises are distributed every year. The lau- reates in physics. medicine and lit- erature snd chemist are chosen by the Swedish A emy and the Ksrolin Institute of Stockholm. while the Peace Prise is assigned by a committee of five mernbe n of the Swedish Parliament.

In other words, in order to pro- duce rheumatism there must be the seed (or; ' , l ‘WHO! organ- isms). and the soil (sensitiveness of the tissues.)

Added to this are other points that must be considered-ts T ature, atmospheric pressure, sudden changes in the weather, too much starchy food.

The first thought however in treating rheumatism is to rid the body of any possible infection.

In his Halifax msech. the Chief Justice of New Brunswick made it clear that he was not advocating Maritime imion. At tbs same time. he made a pies for a better mutual imderstanding and more coopera- tion among the people of the three provinces, without any sacrifice of individuality. That plea has in it the kernel of the whole situation in relation to the question of Maritime union. It is recognition of geneses
