The earliest opportunity was seized by the Prime Minister after prorcgation of Par- liament to invite thc Maritime re- presentatives to fix a date most con- venient to them, which they have now done.

So far as this Province is concern- ed, our claims fall into two categor- ies-those which we share jointly with our sister Maritime Provinces, and those which have arisen out of our peculiar handicaps and the spec- ific terms on which we entered Con- federation. It is understood that the subject matter of both these series of claims will be fully reviewed be- fore the Dominion Government members on Augusulw _,, ,. ,

and has no less than 4i hours free each week for recreation. The re- sult, for New York's 5.000.000 gain- fully employed, is some 200,000,000 hours of weekly leisure. This moun- tain of idleness is the result of "a _new industrial revolution" and must be regarded, along with "industrial drudgery," as a permanent feature of our civilization. There is no chance of retrogression toward the idays of craftsmanship, says the committee, which looks forward to "increasing mechanization and

The leisure which in the past has been the prized pos- session of the few, is now the uni- versal right of the many."

We are being treated to much un- intelligent, talk about the "intelli- gensia." The word may mean men with powerful minds and equally great practical ability, like Frank- lin; or men with great powers of thought. like some mathematicians and metaphysicians, who seem to us to live in a kind of moonlight world so far as our actual daylight world is concrrned; _or men with prodigious memories stored with all kinds of knowledge, but who are neither thinkers nor doers; or, last- ly, men who have an unrecognized inferiority complex that drives theln to bulldoze the world-if they can, and they often calm-with a sense of their intellectual elevation above their fellow-men-Ex.

In order to attract business, busi- ness people have to give an impres- sion that they are winners. If they act as if they were losers, people dislike to patronize them, and they Te are likely to lose stll more. People wll judge whether a business is a winner or a loser, in part by the ex- terior appearance of the building in which it is located. A man may be an excellent buslncss person, a hus- tler. and determined to please the public. But if he is located in a building that looks shabby or run down, people gct an unfavorable impression.

New York Journal: There is no crime so foul that some lawyer cannot be found to defend the criminal, not only within thc legal safgeuards to which even a criin- inal is entitled. but by every shift, evasion, technicality and improper influence in the calendar, That is what gives the law the unsavory rcputaton which it now has, and that is what gives lawyers a simi- lar if unmerited reputation along with it. Only when the honest ma- jority against the dishonest minor- ity will law regain the standing which it should have, And if that seems harsh language, it is merely what any reputable lawyer will tell you privately.

Unusual punishments have an im- aginative appeal to the public. A man in New York state who killed another in a drunken brawl was offered the alternative of imprison- ment or of five years on the water a. wagon. paying thc victims funeral expenses and fifteen dollars a week for five years to the dead man's family, In Hamilton, Ontario, a man slapped a policcmans face and was ordered to go to bed at ten p. m. for three months. The first has very practical qualities. The second sounds childish, but possibly if ally man is so foolish as to slap a policemans face, he deserves to be treated as a kid-

The new Prime Minister entered the Legislature in the victory of the U.F.A. party at the polls in 1921, so has had plenty of legislative ex- perience. In the year of his election to the Assembly he was appointed Minister of Health and Municipal in the United Farmer Government, and two years later became Provincial Treasurer.

It was in 1903 that he came to Canada, settling on near Vermilion, Alberta, and entering into the life of the country with earnestness and a de- termination to make his mark in public as well as private life- It is testimony to his popularity that he was re-elected by acclamation fol- lowing his elevation to Cabinet rank, and that the electors returned him in all elections at which he pre- sented himself. Now he has been en the highest elective office by political and practical farmers. His record ls proof of the oportunlties for advancement that prevail in Canada for the cltimn who is industrious and ambitious, whether he be a native or a new- comer from the United Kingdom or elsewhere, The U,F.A.
