`» Car Ferry Repairs

Now that the provincial '¢le¢¢l°°

is ovgr, ith. difficult to under- 'stand what' motive could have in- spired our cohtemporary’s garbled `|t,`at¢munt.wlth reference to car

:er-:y repairs which appeared in its issue of yesterday It states that;

the car ferry "Prince Edward Is~i ianc'» has cons to Quebec 1°r “re-' pairs,", that, it .has received con- firmation of this statement from; the raiiwayyauthorlties hcre, and that therefore The Guardians statement of Aug. -ith, namely, that

tile,"-steamer will come to Char-, bttscolm fur: general ovorhauling and repairs to boilers, deck and

enginos is “another pre-election bubble burst, another campaign

promise violated, another political roorback exposed? .

Here, evidently, is another case`

bf the wish being father to the

thought. The Liberal organ has

lumped to a conclusion which suits lt politically, but which has absol-

utely no foundation in fact, as it

.could easily have ascertained had

'it inquired from Messrs. Bruce Stewart .Sr Company, who have the contract for the work referred to.

. The fact is that the car ferry has gone to Quebec for under water re-

pairs only-repairs which could not be done here in any case, as they necessitate dry-clock facilities. Tenders for this work were made

by St. John and Halifax shipyards as well as by the Davie shipyards

of Quebec, and the latter firm’s

tender, being the lowest, was ac-

cepted. For boiler repairs and the

other work mentioned by The Guardian, however,' the steamer will return in three weeks' time

and the work will be done, as al- ready stated, by Bruce Stewart as

Company, employing' local men and benefiting the Province to that extent.

, Our contemporary’s misleading

statement of yesterday serves at least one good purpose. It em- Phasizes the value of having wide- Bwake federal representatives look- lrig after our interests. without the

active assistance of Messrs. W.

Chester S. Mclhure, J. H. Myers and Hon. J. A. MacDonald the con- iflct for the car fer:y repairs _would undoubtedly have gone to the Quebec company. This also 15 I (wt which our contemporary can rverlfy by inquiry from the local firm now in D08-Session of the con- |:rnct. *' Naturally, the local Conservative

members are being wannly com-

lnendcd “DOB their enterprise in

occuring this extensive repair job for an Island firm. lt is many years since the car ferry has been repaired hero, and the fact that it has been secured at this time in

the face of strenuous opposition is lfelfly to their credit.

Incidentally, it may be pointed

but that the Guardian's announce-

ment of Aug- 4, which the Liberal

organ now claims to have exposed

as a "roorback." appear-cd sign in lie Liberal organ of they same datel l We trust that our contemporary will have the courtesy to publish a retraction of its inexcusable mis-

statement of yesterday, and that it mill endeavor, in the future, to lvoid such nefarious tactics in dealing with matters of importance I-nd concern to the Province.

Tho United States as well as

Canada is experiencing something new under the sun, a back to the land movement. The Chicago Jour- nal of Commerce quotes figures to the effect that last year 1,320,000 persons left towns and cities for the farm. It ls a movement which is completely balancing the trend the other way. The vast majority of those going back are from the farm in the first place, and had come to the city during the period when industry was calling for men.

TREATING GOITBE BY BADIUM

You may read from time ‘o time

of 0. gift of radlum to some hospital and you may wonder whether such a ` small amount of radlum costing so much money is worth that much to humanity.

Your doctor will tell you that rad-

ium is s wonderful ,help in some cases of cancer and other growths, where surgery ur the use of X ray treatment, is not thought advisable.

One uae.of radium that is now

receiving much attention is in cases of the severe type of goitre or an en- largement of the thyroid gland in the neck.

Dr. F. I-logler, Vienna, reports 306

cases of severe goitre who in the course of twelve years received rad- ium treatment. Of thisnumber, 211 showed marked improvement which in many cases was almost equal to complete cure. In 46 cases a. slight improvement was noted. In 43 cases there was no effect whatever, but none of these cases were any worse for the treatment.

Dr. Hogler point-s out that lf these

results were compared with those effected by surgical treatment or by the use of the X rays, it becomes evident that radium treatment is as effective as these other methods.

Further, radium treatment is safe,

whereas in X ray treatment there are occasional complications and of course there is always some risk ln surgery. V

However Dr. Hogier admits that

just as X ray treatment doesn‘t help all cases, so there are also failures with radium treatment, and this means that surgical treatment must be given. . , .

He tells us also that where sur-

gery has to be used that there is less trouble for the surgeon where rad- ium has been used than where X ray treatment has been given.

Where the goitre has grown to the

point when lt is actually beginning to cut oi! the breathing surgery is at once necessary but even in these cases Dr. Hogler says that the use of the radium is frequently helpful. You can thus see that ra/dium by acting on cancer goitre and other growths is a wonderful help in those cases where other forms of treat- ment are dreaded or might be dan- gerous. '

The" Longest Sermon

(New Statesman and Nation) A clergyman is reported to have

committed an unprecedented crime at Los Angeles. This was the Rev. Dr. A. F. Futterer, President of the Hollywood Bible Knowledge Society who broke the world's record bl' preaching continuously for twenty hours. According to the New York correspondent of the News Chron- icle, the record was previously held by the Rev. C. Z. Brown, pastor of the Negro Baptist Church at Washington, who preached a sermon that lasted fourteen hours. maintaining his strength while do- ing so by eating the legs of chick- ens and other nourishing dishes. The Rev. Dr. l=‘utterer's exploitiaall argument on the side of those who despise flesh-floods andy advocate the consumption or fruit-Juices. fm' during the twenty hours of the sermon he tasted nothing but an occasional sip of lemon-juice. That this was efficient is clear from his statement: “I felt better when I finished than when I began and my voice showed very few signs of strain."

even genius would be unendurable

in the pulpit for twenty hours. We will cheerfully endure more at the hands of novelists or dramatics than at the hands of clergyman.

This, 1 think, is partly due to the

fact that we secretly resent preach- ing. We all long to preach, and we all object i.o being preached at. From our earliest years we aspire to do good to others by admonish- ing them on the error of their ways. It seems extraordinarily difficult to be virtuous oneself, but it seems extraordinarily easy for other people to be virtuous if only they know 4 how, and one longs to tell them how.-
