DANGER OF RABIES.

T will be remembered that some

two years ago an outbreak of rabies caused considerable disturb- ance and a loss of some valuable canines in this Province. The dang- er of a recurrence of such an epi- demic is not over. The Province of Quebec which suflered similarly at the some time has not yet been granted a clean bill of health.

We understand that foxes from

that Province are not permitted to

enter some countries in Europe, not- ably Norway have gone somewhat extensively in- to the fox-breeding business. many European countries little dis-

tinction is made between the pro- vinces of the Dominion and the Do-

minion itself.

This is the time of year when rabies become prevalent. The dau- ger is acute and thcre is only one way of overcoming it, namely by the exclusion of all dogs from outside the Province.

Our fox men particularly should insist upon this precaution being taken as neglect may mean incal-

culable loss. Ei-Q-o >-——--

THOSE MOUNTED POLICE!

HEN the - Saunders cohorts proudly announced that Royal Mounted Police were henceforth to be part and parcel of the adminis- tration of the Prohibition Act, we expressed our grave doubts and characterized the move as an elec- tion dodge. This was inclignantly denied by the Saunders satellites at the time but, alas, even the Rev. A. A. MacLeod has been disillusioned. and admits The Guardian was right. In his address to the Sons of Tem-. perance he says:

“In co-operation with the en- forcement of Prohibition there is required a similar honest enforce- ment of the Dominion laws against illegal transactions in liquor. The enforcement oi the one is the complement of the other. Neither can fail without weakening the other. Complaints are many re- garding the laxity in the enforce- ment of these Dominion Statutes. Mounted police whom the Alliance had asked for a year and a half ago were put on for three weeks as an election dodge. The moment the election was over they were withdrawn. More hypocrisy, and still no protest from the Temper- ance workers. Local oflicers in whom the public have little doubt or no confidence are retained in oflice."

This may be said for Rev. A. A. MacLeod, he is sincere in his fanat- icism, so sincere that he was easily fooled by the crafty politicians who manipulated him during the election to secure a "Liberal" victory at the polls. The danger of‘ fanatics to the public is their sincerity, their en- thusiasm, which tends to bring dis- aster from (to them) the least ex- pected quarter.

Mr. Macleod admits now he and his sincere prohibition friends were fooled by the Liberals at the election. In this he is only echoing the wall of the Hon. Mr. Crosby who told the Saunders Government that Temper- ance people did not object to being described as Tories. but they "did object to being made damned fools

ANOTIIER EXPECTED PLEASURE

ISS BENNETT, who is accom- panying her distinguished bro- ther, Hon. R. B. Bennett, is win- ning laurels for herself in all the places that she visits. The people of Quebec were particularly charm- ed with her. At one of the meet- ings addressed by Mr. Bennett,when he referred t0 “my sister" shouts came from the audience “our sis- ter." She has addressed a number of meetings and is described as an eloquent and forceful speaker with a charming personality, and a smile that wins the hearts of those who hear her. She will accompany the l-ion. Mr. Bennett on his tour to this Province in the near future and the visit of both is being looked forward to with pleasure as one of the events of the summer.

There is going to be a bumper hay crop, and why shouldn't there? There is nothing to keep it from growing.

Ill-trained boys are still doing mis- chief in flower gardens and else- where, where ill-trained boys have no right to be. The only remedy for boys who are too young to be jailed is to hold their parents responsible for any mischief they do.

The tourist business is opening encouragingly and we may expect additional visitors from day to day as the month advances. It is pleas- ing to note that all are charmed with the Garden of the Gulf.

Owing no doubt to the watchful- ness of the Fish and Game Protec- tive Association, the streams throughout the Province are now stocked with excellent flsh.

Notes by the Way

RTUNATELY our celebration of

Dominion Day has been rather quiet, without much expenditure or fireworks and that sort of noisy de- monstration. And our modest cele- brations have in consequence been comparatively frce from -serlous or painful accidents. Across the border. in the Land of Liberty, the celebra- tion of Independence Day has long been marked by painful occurrences. Last year 195 little Americans per- ished in the Fourth of July celebra- tions. who were seriously injured reached 5,000. It was really a day of sacri- fice. How many victims of this year's day of jubilation were slaugh- tered is not yet known, but the facts will be disclosed in due time. i

Pulverised coal is coming into more extended use and it is predicted that its use will become general in the not distant future. Hitherto house- holders have complained of too much slack. or fine coal supplied to them by the coal dealers. Now we are tcld that pulverised coal is about to cause n revolution in the use of mined fuel. It is said that when ready for use it is fed to the flames like oil. And also that it will make available for use a tremendous quan- tity of fuel that has hitherto been wasted.

Pulvcriscd coal has been used on one of the Dominion Coal Coiripanyis steamers with satisfactory results. ‘The introduction of the new fuel will be gradual, it is said. owing tn ne- cessary changes to be made in fur- naces. So far the fact that the steamers using it are Maritime ves- sels and the coal is Maritime coal is publicly stated.

lt is the proud boast of Mr. Charles Curtis, oi Kansas, just now nomin- ated by the Republican national convention as candidate for Vice- Prcsidcncy. that he is “a descendant. of noble Indian chieitnins, himself born on Indian territory. His inat- ernal grandfather was known as White Plume, chief of the Osage tribe. Many Indians have been re- nowned as fleet of foot, or famous in oratory. It may turn out that Mr. Curtis will make a particularly good l'llll over the political racc- course. “Blood will tell."

We hear complaints from clay to day that nothing is being done or attempted toward repairing the footway across l-lillsborough Bridge.

ii thc Minister of Public Works con- tinues to neglect his duty in this matter.

At the city police court on Tucs- day two “common drunks“ and "a drunk and disorderly" were flned. and a "drunk and incapable who failed to appear" had his ball bond estreated, according to newspaper report. Did they tell where they got the stuff that made them so? And was it bootleg stuff, or the other medicinal kind that produced the disastrous result? And when were there so many criminal cases before the Supreme Court as at its present

was not so very long ago when Judges were frequently presented with white gloves at the opening of court, and our jails practically emp- ty, but now the record is different. And why is it so?

A Tunnel at the Capes and the Bale Verte Canal are both large and costly projects. As for the Tunnel. further discussion of it since the handsome vote of a million for n new Ferry would be a bore. The Canal project ls based on sound reason and it must be constructed. The Board of Trade of a border town in Nova Scotia calls it the "Amherst Canal," but that won't do any harm.

More than a century ago the Brit- ish Government projected a sloop canal at this site, purely for defen- sive purposes, to provide a secure canal for small naval craft through the Bay of Fundy and the Gulf and River St. Lawrence to Quebec. At that date the population of the Maritimes was very small and mere- ly local interests had but little in- fluence toward bringing about the work of construction. Today the Canadian and Imperial interests de- mandlng the construction are much greater than they were in 1025. Since then the Suez and Panama Canals have been cut and the ever- i. creasingwaterbome commerce of the world has been immensely stim- ulated and developed by those great works.

What Sue: and Panama mean to the two hemispheres and the five continents. the Chignecto Canal will mean to Canada and the Maritime Provinces when it is constructed. Chlgnecto in the ‘geographical cen- tre of the Maritimes. It is also the barrier that blocks the way of nea- bome commerce between Ontario, Quebec and Prince Edward Island and the Atlantic seaboard of the United States, and the West Indies.

Something very serious may happen‘

I often talk about vacation, be- cause like some other things in life it is a necessity. Just as much a necessity in fact as food, sleep, and exercise.

Because, as it is so often put, vac- aiion means recreation and recrea- tion means re-creating; you are act- ually being created again in a human sense.

And it doesn't matter what your regular work is, how much you like or dislike it, a change is necessary in every case.

If you like your work, a change from it will prevent the possibilityl of your growing a little weary of it.‘ If you dislike your work, but must; rstick to it, then you get strength of? body and mind from a vacation with which to continue at it.

Perhaps you have in mind. mostly the body when you think of vac-- ation. That your body will get rest, or if it has work that gives it too
