I ELECTIONS AND PBAYERS.

IT 18 senerally conceded, and has

indeed become a proverb, that elections are not won by prayers. This is not intended in any way to

minimize the efficacy of prayer, nor is it meant to insinuate that the

"party or the individual that loses an election is beyond the influence

of prayer. '

There are many factors which en- ter into the winning or the losing

of elections. Humanly speaking, the party having a straightforward pol-

icy and men of high integrity and

acumen should

wholesome democratic constituency.

This has not always been the case. Parties more less given intrigue and men of less than average capacity in statesnlanship, have more than once secured the reins of office in this as well as in other countries. It has ever been true that “the race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong."

Of

In every democracy there are the intelligent and the ignorant, the honest and the dishonest. Unfortun- ately, too often, the designing and self-serving have played upon those various strings and have succeeded in winning the support of men and women who were ready t0 believe that the black of one party was the white of the other, and vice versa.

In the last analysis, the factors that must be depended upon in the winning of an election are a clear-

by men of probity and statesman-I

ship, honest men who can be de- pended upon to stand by their pro- fessed principles, and a carefully- seiected organization which can be depended upon to put the honest intentions of the party intelligently before the electorate. The appeal to the ignorant and the gullible must be discountennnced and ex- posed. Pre-election promises are proverb- ially like pie crust. made to be brok- en. The people must be taught to discriminate between the gold brick and the pure gold, must be taught to discern between the possible and the impossible, between the prob- able and the improbable. The pol- itician who promises too much may always be regarded with suspicion as a man with an axe to grind. There is enough intelligence in ‘every constituency, if properly ap- pealed to, to carry into power a party that has a reasonable policy to present and men of honor and in- tegrity to carry it through. Such a presentation can best be made by systematic organization, and no party or individual can hope to win worthily without such an organiza- tion.

_--<-o->--__ THE COAL SITUATION.

ERE has been much talk about the coal situation in Canada. We have solne of the richest coal areas in the world and yet our collieries are not affording either the employ- ment or the coal that might be ex- pected from them. The Glace Bay Gazette, which is Liberal in politics, and not inclined to throw stones at the King Government, admits vary frankly in a recent issue that there 1| something wrong, and says in part,

"For the six months ending Sat- urday, June 30, the Dominion Coal Oofs output was 1,700,064 tons. The figures are from the Gazette's flies. For the same period in 1000 the output was 1,910,764 tons. Thus after!!! years we find the local col- liories producing 200.000 tons less cool for the first hair of the year. Nor is there any particular reason in local conditions for this decline, unions it is that the steel works are taking smaller shipments."

A duty sufllcient to meet the advantage of a shorter haul in transportation would remedy this stagnation and place the Canadian coal fields on a firm and solid busi- 08$ basis. Such a duty does not suit the political opinions which constitute the policy followed by the MacKhenzie King Government. Ev- entually, no doubt, our people will awaken to the fact that they have been strangled by the makeshift policy of the conglomerated party now holding the reins of power in This is being realized more and more as the clays go by. and no doubt there will be a radical change in the fiscal policy of Can- ada as soon as the opportunity pre- lscnts itself, ‘tvhloh will, no doubt,

WHY are Canadians still ‘moving

to the States? More than four thousand removed from Canada southward during the month of May, having declared their irlten- tion of becoming permanent resi- dents of the Republic. Of these 8,908 were born in the Dominion. As pointed out by the Toronto Globe, this loss is continued month after month, is going on steadily and is too serious to pass without official consideration and study. This move- ment is going on while employment in Canada is better than it has been at any time in the past eight years, and in the United States unem- ploymcnt is at its worst and has be- come a matter of grave national concern. These are

That climate has something w d» with it has been suggested. but the

during ' the Spring, Summer and Autumn months is as good if not better than that of the States. An- other moving cause is that in the Republic there is a preference for Canadian workers over those from any other country. For that reason the quota law which limits the im- migration from all other ‘countries is not applied to Canadians. More- over, the two millions of Canadians now resident in the States are in many cases recruiting agents for the promotion of the exodus. A young Canadian who is capable and ambitious and makes good in any employ over there is valued highly by his employer, who is desirous to engage others like him.

He is visited there by ills Canadian brothers, or sisters, or other near relatives, or he returns to visit them at the old homestead. He tolls them there are other opportunities there equally as promising as he has found. The result is that a number of his relatives one by one ormore, join him there, and are more or less successful in obtaining a good job. We all know how it is here in Prince Edward Island where the newspapers kindly publish stories of “Successful Islanders Ahroat All of which tends to in- duce qthers also to go abroad.

But there ls another side to all’, this. We read from time to time in the newspapers which support the Government of the day about Can-l adians who had lived in the States‘ returning to Canada-so many thall- iififldS in a month or a year. All

I-IEROINE OF GAS GANGRENE

Some months ago I wrote about the heroic deed of a private soldier John Kissinger in the United States army, who allowed himself to be bitten by a mosquito which had been in contact with a patient with yellow fever. This caused yellow fever. His life was saved by irnmed- iate treatment and the nation now has given him an adequate pension, because he proved the mosquito to be the cause of yellow fever.

And now there comes to hand the act of a laboratory worker Miss K. M. G. Davies, an Englishwoman who in i915 was working in the Ameri- can Hospital, Neviliy, Paris, under Dr. Taylor of the Imperial Cancer Research.’

Dr. Taylor was investigating the cause and treatment of gas gan- grene. He was experimenting with guinea pigs but could not obtain re- sults which would justify him in trying out these experiments, on a human being. The crucial experi- ment of inoculating a human being with a pure culture seemed impos- sible. Miss Davies had seen 209 fatal cases of gas gangrene, had seen some guinea pigs die and some recover under Dr. Taylor's experi- ment. - - Without a word to anyone

Of course, there are ex- ceptions to every rule, but, speak- ing broadly, it is too often the fail- ures and the wrecks, the worn-out and the helpless who return, older, wlrer and sruiaer than ville-n they went away.

This matter of Canadian migration across the‘ border southward alld returning northward should be in- vestigated as it never has been. The Globe shows some realization of how things are working when it says:- “While the Government is spending imillions yearly to get new popula- ttion, it can well afford to spend a ‘few thousands to learn if there is not some way to keep the people at home. So far the present Govern- ment have done nothing to prevent or to stay the exodus. They have simply ignored it as if it did not exist.

There is a Bureau of Statistics at Ottawa that gives out from time to time part of the truth in regard to the Canadians who cross the border and rlaturn . What the Bureau om- its to mention includes the many who are forced to return-those who have by reason of illness, accident, misfortune or incapability have be- come unable to make a living in the States have become a public charge.

They had not been naturalized and hence, af- ter having given the best years of their lives to work in an alien land, they are sent back helpless to the land of their‘blrth. Canadians can- not complain of this. Deportation is the right of every sovereign state.

The Bureau gives us the favorable statistics: much that is of the other sort is concealed or omitted from the compilation. Canadians at home have a right to know all the facts about the exodus and return. and what infonnation they get is but partial and misleading, both with regard to the movement of the native born and the immigrants from abroad who are brought into Canada‘ and mysteriously disappear within a year or two.

work enough in pay for their cost. because even the $10,000 would be only about half the mysterious com- mission on said machines. Assum- ing then that Mr. McIntyre meant pr-r mile. when he used thc figures $500 and $10000, wmwill sec what enormous savings the llnn. gentle- man has effected. $500 per mile for twelve hundred miles would be sGOU,00Q-or sit-z times the cost of the machines-and if tho machines go on working at that rate for the whole Summer, the savings will amount to somewhere between $1,- 200,000'aud $1,500,000, at least. But this is not all. Mr. Mclntyre stated that thr- cost of the work by the new machines was only $500 a mile. and ills engineer's estimate was that the same work under the old sys- tem would have cost $10000 a mile. or $9,500 more. Nowjfwelve hun- dred miles at $9,500 a mile amounts to'$ll,400.il00. and at i.lle same rate .of work for the whole Summer the savings would be at least $22,800,000 —and Mr. McIntyre made this speech in a prohibition province! But even this is not ail. If I remem- ber correctly, tlle cost of doing the work llnder the old system was, say. two thousand dollars a mile, and the Minister states that his en- . glneer's estimate that under the new system with the new machines tile saving alone will be $9,500 a mile. Evidently some engineers, and some system!
