CA TTLE TESTING

One resolution adopted by the As- sociated Boards of Trade is to the effect that it support the resolution of the Summerside Board of Trade in asking that the compulsory test- ing of cattle for tubercular trouble be not discontinued; that a test b: mode at the earliest possible date and that the Province be made a disease free area.

iEvidently there is some misunder- standing on the part of 'I‘rade Board members with regard to the tubercuiar tests. There is no inten- tion of discontinuing these tests in Prince Edward Isfand. and posliive intimation to this effect was made recently by Hon. Robert Weir, Federal Minister of Agriculture. The last tests were made in 1929 and next year,’ when the six-year period is up. the tests will again be under- taken. The Province, since it be- name a restricted area. under the first Stewart Government. has never ceased to enjoy this distinc- tion. 0h both occasions when tests were conducted the Proportion of diseased cattle was remarkably low. As considerabka expense is involved in making the tests. both to the Dominion and Provincial agricultur- al departments, it is not advisable

to repeat them with unnecessary frequency. Our producers may rest assured.

The music of Wagner inspired in him a \\'0rship of “the Will to Power" which sub- sequently became in his philosophy "the Will to War, to Overporver." The Spartan life of the soldier, of endurance arid discipline. appealed to his imagination. These virtues he sought to exalt by attacking the Christian morality. The superman- the ultimate product of Nietzsche's philosophy as hc conceived it—-was to be a creature in whom conscience, fear, pity. remorse. and all the “JudocoChristian-democratic points of view prevailing iii modern limcs" would be ruthlessly crushed out. leaving play for the untramelleti exercise of “energy, intellect, and pride"-—tile three cardinal virtues in the Niefrscllc philosophy.

Such a

in the age of the great cathedrals. no one then ever thought other than of building patiently for the future. Lincoln's great cathedral. one of the architectural glories of the world, took more than 200 years to come to its full splendor. Rhelms cathedral, begun in 1211. was not completed within 100 years. And so with most of the other great sacred edifices that made the thirteenth among the greatest of centuries.

It is different today. The mania of our age is for speed, with rush and hurry enthroned as gods of ef- ficiency. with the multitude rushing about in desperate fear of leaving something until tomorrow. We career over highways at, a. speed of '10 or‘ 80 miles. boast of giant loco- motives that hurl themselves through space like meteors, build mighty ships that link continents in four days, speak of the day when We shall breakfast in America and dine in Europe. Patience has be- come a. sin.

Yet one is compelled to wonder whether this mad rush isn't mostly futile. "To travel hopefully." said Stevenson, "is better than to lir- ritie.” but we are never satisfied

about.

unless we are arriving. We rush madly to our offices. and rush back home again as madly, rush to and from our play, speed even to and

And this. come to think of it ap- plies to all of our lives. We think cf ourselves as indispensable, fret arid worry through all our days over wlliit we believe to be tremendous 1y vital. and yet what Matthew Ar- nold wrote remains tragically true:

"Most men eddy about here and there, and then they die. perish.

And no one asks who or what they have been

More than they ask of the waves on the

Midmost ocean that swell, foam for a moment, and are gone."

In our technological age. when machines and speed arc everything, Westminster Cathedral could be reared and complcetd in a few years. Yet technology has built nothing or is building nothing like the architrwtural glories of the

Lritlie Ages, when men labored l-everently with their hands, meas- ured time differently and thought of eternity. They knew and were fortified in their patience by the thought that they were building for posterity- and they left to poster- ity something of their task. The difffereilce today is that we build overnight, with desperate haste. leaving to posterity only a share of the cost.
