More Double Dealing

The school teachers and others in- terested who helped to get increases in salary, if and when, the additional subsidy is obtained from Ottawa, will be sadly disillusioned as the result of the discussion on the proposed plebis- elte. 1t now appears that the Govern- ment is very doubtful, indeed about getting any additional subsidy next year, so that the teaches-s case is not likely to be considered until after the proposed plebiscite. which is not to take place until 1931 when the Saunders Government must, perforce, go to the country. Shouid the King Government in the meantime, in a spasm of unwonted generosity, grant our claims, either in part or in whole. the teachers are not barred from participation. But the indications are that an unspeci- fied referendum will have to be the decisive weapon. This new de- parture strikes at the root oi rep- resentative government; it relieves the Administration oi responsibility, and throws it on the shoulders of the people generally who may, or may not. be fully cognizant oi all the es- sential facts in the case. The Saund- ers Government has not only "double crossed" the teaching profession, but has made a precedent which may

administration never anticipated or intended. The first effects is to pro- long indefinitely the teachers’ "hope deferred.‘

Preferred Prisons

--__._.

Canada is to have two new pris- ons. One is to be in the neighborhood oi Kingston’ 0nt., the other at St. Vincent de Paul. Que. There is a pris- on now at St. Vincent de Paul, and

one at Portsmouth. a suburb 01 K1118- ston. But the new prisons are not to

be extensions or new units oi the old ones, and they are not made necessary by reason of the increas- ing prison “population. The new in- stltutlons, according to an announce- ment made by General W. St. Pierre Hughes, superintendent oi ,eniten- tlaries. are to be preferred-class peni- tentiarles, and are to be models for the continent and P06510137 f0! “i! world.

In the pre- ferred-typo penitentiarles which are now to be erected, there will be no recidivlsts-cnly the beginners in crime, and every effort will be made, as General Hughes‘ latest, report says, to reform and educate the young of- fender, to teach him a proper useful trade or occupation so that, on his discharge, he may be "fit to take his place in the community to lead an honest, law-abiding life, and be a profitable asset to the country instead oi a liability." The new penitentiaries are to be reformatorles, in the best meaning of the word. They are not to be schools of crime.

Fur Sales

The Department of Trade and Commerce at Ottawa has this to say about fur sales:

‘Towards the end oi February two auction sales were held, one in Lon- don ancl one in Copenhagen, oi par- ticular interest to fur breeders. Pric- es at the Copenhagen auction declin- ed on the average 25 per cent. writes m-ederick H. Palmer, Canadian Trade Commissioner at Oslo in the forth- coming issue oi the Commercial Intel- ligence Journal. It is reported that 15,000 pelts were sold at the more im- portant London auction, and of these between 600 to 'l00 were silver fox skins from Norway. It appears that prices in fcndcn for "extra dark ail- ver" and "medium silver" declined 1o per cent. as compared with the last auction, while prices for "dark silver" declined 30 per cent. '11! price for “light silver" declined s per cent. ‘

“The highest price realized for a Norwegian pelt was £92, but as the best Norwegian animals are being sold alive for breeding purposes, the average quality oi the Norwegian pelts otter-ed was not as high as Nor- way could supply."

Then and Now

"Appreciating the action oi the Liberal Goverment at Ottawa in passing the Old Age Pellfilou A“ we anticipate establishing it in this Province in a manner consistent with our revenue."

-Liberal pro-election platform.

HON. LEIPAGE: "He (Mr. Mc- Lure) as much as said that we promised it. We promised it in this way. If our finances were sufficient to put the Old Age Pensions through we would do so, but our finances have not been increased and we are unable to do so. In fact the larger provinces, some oi them, under Government Control, have not been able to do so; so I don't think this Government can be blamed. I regret very much that we are unable to help the aged and infirm in this country because I know from experience that there are a great many aged people that need it; but I think this govern- ment have been as lenient to the old and infirm as well as any gov- ernment previous and we are spending probably new double the amount oi money that the pre- vlous government did along Ithat line.

w v-y me Way,

l‘ ' Ev the most effective history‘ c! the present Liberal regime in chi; province would be a collection of ex- cerpts from ‘the various speeches apologetic, explanatory and otherwise, of the members ’ c‘ the session. S-lch a collection would, no doubt, wt 8s a deterrent to future aspira- tions for political honors.

The great naval powers are doubt- less making progress in the dinaction of the establishment of permanent peace in the world. Probably more progress would be nmde ii’, instead of the reduction oi armament, an ef- fort were made to reduce the inter- national jealousy and suspicion which now appear to be the great hindrance to the longed-for goal.

There appears to be no concerted demand from the rural districts for further experimenting with the Mc- Intyre snovvplough. Those sections in which experiments were carried on seem to be quite satisfied that they have had enough.

Now that all varieties of opinion, private, public and political, have been expressed with reference to the merits and demerits of prohibition, sincere temperance people will be in a position to arrive at definite con- clusions. Since its inception many men and women believed in its efll- cacy as a temperance measure. Years oi experience have proved that the hope wu iilusive. Notwithstanding years of repeated failure they were reluctant to abandon their faith. with what Emerson calls a “foolish consistency" they clung to the fetish to which they had pinned their faith rather than admit that they had been mistaken. Emerson's advice in this and similar circumstances is well worth noting. “Speak your honest thought today in words as hard as cannon-bails, and let , tomorrow speak what tomorrow thinks in words lust as hard, though they should contradict every thing you said today." If those who realize that prohibition has failed in every pro- vince ‘in Canada and in every other country in which it has been tried, would admit it and act accordingly, there would be some hope of arriving at a sane solution of the liquor prob- leualtisfinificanttiratinnopro- vince in which prohibition had been abandoned for Government control, no concerted action has been taken to resuscitate the former.

That troublu never come singly is again illustrated in the West. Mil- lions oi dollars of crop damage in Saskatchewan will be caused this year by insects, according to a report issued by Kenneth M. King, oi the Dominion Entomological Laborator- ies. Cutworms, wire-worms, grasshop- pers and wheat-stem sawflies would be to blame it was stated. Cutworrns are expected to be unusually active and a grasshopper outbreak of at least moderate extent is looked for in southwestern Saskatchewan. Wireworms, which caused an esti- mated $3,000,000 damage last year, will again do heavy damage, espec- ially if the spring is wet, says the re- port. If July is dry, the wheat-steam sawfly will cause a loss exceedin tho $5,000,000 damage oi 1929 it is fore\ cast. More abundant than at an; time since 192i, grasshoppers may constitute a serious infestation if th. weather is dry. Cold driving rains im- mediately after hatching time or very wet weather continuously during the development period may halt the out break.

"Uncle Tom," the central figure cl Harriet Beecher Stowe! famous book; which is said to have helped to pre- cipitate the American civil war, had his original in Rev. Josiah Henson. who for a time lived near Dresden Ont, a liects Elihu Stewart, of Collingwood, who saw the negr- preacher 50 years ago. "My earliest recollection of Josiah Henson is that howastheleadingmaninthencflro settlement known as, “The Institu- tion" near Dresden, which was made up almost entirely of negroes escap- ed irosn slavery," states Mr. Stewart. The narrator met Mr. Henson on board a beat near Sarnia, over half a century ago and entered intc eon- versation with him.

What 3m oi 1 Quota By Iulnes W Burton. MD. HOME 0B HOSPITAL TREATMENT

As you know ‘distant fields look green‘, and so it is with some lil~ dlviduais and their ailments. They get the idea that there something ‘diii- erent‘ about their particular ailments. and so they peas over their own phy- sician and perhaps even the specialist in their own city and g0 to a distant city ior advice.

I nave in mind a chap who had in- jured his back. His physician reierred him to a specialist who adlusted a brace to hold the inlllrcd Joint in place, and yet permit the patient to walk about.

Alter arriving home he took off the brace u»... a down on the floor with 1 bang, and immediately took a train to a city more than one hundred miles away.

After consulting a physician there he was induced to get on the train at once, and accompanied by the phy- sician, he omvolledanother 800 miles to another oilly to consult a well known specialist.

Here, much to his surprise and cha- grin, he had a brace adjusted that was exactly the same in construction and measurements as the one he had thrown down so disgustcdly in his home city.

Dr. H. E. Rhodes, London, speak- ing about the European baths or spas, says that while the waters at these places cannot permanently cure high blood presume, nevertheless they are the means of getting the patient

to good working order again,

‘The patient, removed from business md domestic worries, is amid fresh slu-roundlrws. and has tune for suit- able recreations and exercises, Daily aliendanoea at the bath.
