“IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN"

"Of all sad words ct‘ tongue or pen The saddest are these. "it might

have been." . So said the poet: so also, in ef- fect, said the Rt. Honf W. S.

fielding at s meeting in Halifax the other night celled to celebrate nls seventyfifth birthday and, in- cldentally, to boost the Liberal can- didate. Mr, George A. Redmond, the Liberal candidate in the coming bye-election.

Mr. Fielding according to a re- port in the Halifax Chronicle, plac- ed all the responsibility for the cal- smitous "from the South shore" oi Nova Scolia at the door of the Conservatives who rejected reciprocity and thus closed the United States market to the fishermen the "South shore." He did not mention the equally caisnitcus exodus from the North Shore and from the middle oi Nova SciLia, but. then, those people had no fish to be kept out of the United States.

The Hon. W. S. Fielding is now Ill old politician, s gentleman and me who,"through the bludgoonlngs II chance" political, has held thn esteem 0f the friends of his youth. Ils has a "political past" in con-

The number of arrests in a given locality differs from that in another locality only in the customs of the respective localities. The number or people who are not arrested but ought to be, if added to the arrests actually made, would tell an en- tirely different story. ‘iihose inser- ested in upholding the Quebec Liquor law may have an entirely different custom from ‘those in an-

‘mister iyt was thought that if a person really thought he had an ailment he suffered just as much as if he had it, and was therefore entitled to consideration and treat- ment.

Nowadays it is felt that a neuraslhenic is just a resl tired out person.

Tired of work, tired oi play. tired of everything.

Now how do you feel yourself when you're tlredi. Nothing suits ou.. yYou find fault with everybody. and everything.

Further, any little pain seems like a big one. Every little difficulty looms very large indeed on your horizon. You are cross and irrit- able, and any and do things, of which you are heartily ashamed later.

Now what has this to do with neurasthcnis and neurasthenfcsi. simply than, that a neurasthenic is s tired person. Not like your- self, just occasionally, but tired all the time.

From the moment he opens his eyes in the morning until he retir- es at night his entire thought. speech, and actions reflect this tir- ed condition.

And yet as I said before, because he is on his feet. is able to est and to work, and has really no organic trouble, it has been thought that his troubles were all igaminary. And so what is really the necess- ary trestmentfl’.

All that s msnhath will he give ‘or his political lf-fe, and when an tgcd and respected man of Mr. Pieldings once undoubted integrity solemnly ask his friends to sup- port the King Government because II. is the only government that can bring Canada through the pregenf mess, and because the Conserva- tive [mitt-y is one of vaciliatlon and uncertainty. one can only conclude that his estimate of the in- telligence of his audience is at s very low ebb. However, he has mid his say and the issue is before the people and before the machine.

WHOM TO BELIEVE

it has been vfilm that figures may be produced to prove anything. Recently the Liquor Commission of the province of Quebec issued a report the object of which clearly Was to justify the Quebec Liquor Act. This report is going the rounds of the press, evidently as part oi‘ a propaganda in the inter- ests of the liquor sellers. Without going into details the report shows that there were fewers arrests for crimes in the province of Quebec per 100,000 of pouulatien, than in any other province in Canada. We are not quoting the figures as, whether correct or not. they prove nothing. At one of the meetings of the Temperance Alliance here a few days ago, Mr. J. K. Ross read from an article in a magfsine a report of the experiences of a gentleman who visited Montreal and spent come hours, day and nigh-t in in vestigating conditions there in re- lation to the liquor business. The two reports are as contradictory

ARE WE DECADENT?

Canadian families are growinx smaller, according to s report deni- ing with dwellings and families in the Dominion, exclusive of the Yu- kon and Northwest Territories. which has been compiled by the Do- minion Bureau of Statistics, and is based upon the sixth decennial cen- sus completed in 1921.

Not only are the number of per- sons to a family growing smaller when compared with returns made fir previous decades, but the num- Ila!‘ 0i‘ persons to s house shows a mvrked decrease. In 188i the nv erege size of a iamil! was 5.33 per- sons, as against 4.62 in 1921'. With the exception of Saskatchewan and Alberta every province. sh rws a dc- rrtwse in the sire of the family from 1911 to 192i. Spread over a period of 40 years the Prince Ed- wari island famriy shows the grem- es decline, falling 1.35, and On- tario comes next with a drop of 9". in Quebec there was a slight fr.- crease, the average in 1981 being 5.32, and standing at E134 forty years later.

This is rather a discouraging view of the situation in Canada and especially in this province. Evid- ently we need an infusion of new blood in all the provinces and all the processes of immigration With a

Notes By the Way

Hon. Mr. Fielding ls taking part] ;in the Halifax election, which is

l i

door. an easy matter to Show “Incite a nronerthins for him to do- thing oisc to disgust tho people

Self-preservation is the first law governing human action and the loss of the Halifax seat would be a black eye for both him and the government. His speech on_ Thurs- day evening. however, was wholly on the defensive and judging from the published reports he seems to have made a very weak defence. Against the charge of having brok- on faith in abandoning the party platform of 1919 he hsd no hotter defense than that it might be a good thing to reconsider and drop a plank which the Conservatives had declared to bo rotten. '

He attempted to defend the French treaty which hsd been ne- gotiated by himself and Mr. La- pointe, but omitted to deal with the main objection that the reduc- tion of duties under the treaty was wholly on articles of luxury such as silks and wines and could only benefit the rich. They had failed entirely to make s trade treaty with Australia, because the Aus- tralians would not agree to s" fair bargain. Ii the people at the an- tipodes were so ttnrensonable,sure-

ly the fact might have been ascer- tained in advance by correspond-

ence and thus have saved the ex- pense of a costly delegation and much ministerial time and effort.

Mr. Fielding admits that the ex- odua la serious, especially for Nova Scotia, but charges that It is due to the defeat of reciprocity and to the Fordney tariff. This is ludicr- ous from the Liberal point of view. The exodus was never before so large as it has been this year, and if a high tariff is bad for any coun- try, which Liberals contend it is, why do all these Nova Scotlans run sway from under the moder- ate Canadian tariff to seek s re- fuge under the United States tariff which is 60 to 100 cor cont. higher? Mr. Fielding ar nos plaintively that too much shoud ‘not be expected of a government that has only held power twenty-three months. But something might reasonably have been expected where nothing st all was dons, as in the case of immi- gratlon. Half of Mr. Fleming's col- leagues have been absent from Qaoada meanwhile, joy-riding all over the earth.

The Dean and Mrs. Bradley

S|r,—l have just seen a clipping from tho Charlottetown Guardian. of October 30th, in which you re- fer to the gorilla story, and quote Dean Inge as saying: “It is quite true that I have had a letter from Mrs. Bradley. l shall not_reply to it. l should not dream of doing so.

Nearwsil, Bhrewsbury. 1 don't un~ derstand your statement at all -- l am afraid either your press agency or the Dean is unreliable, and i cannot believe it is the Dean, whose writ“..- xcept when he wishes ms irilled!——l admire very much. He explained to ms that he had spoken under a misapprehension and 1 am very glad to have It cor- rooted, for l love animals too much to be happy being denounc- ed as their enemy.

—— The Captain And The Cape Service.

Sir.—After several days‘ repose, Captain Read again emerges from the quiet of his cabin into the lime- light of newspaper publicity in a letter longer than usual, and made up for the most part of self-glorifi- cation and a recital of the import- ant enterprises in which he has in the past, and even in the present. been engaged.

While the treatment of the trans- portation question in this manner ls doubtless highly pleasing to tho writer of that letter, it affords grounds for the feeling among your readers that they are more bored than instructed.
