P‘, THE GOLDEN YEAR. “b, 1981 promises to be the mostwon- deriul year in the historyoi the Pmvinoe. In that year the glittering assurances that have dangled beiore the eyes oi the electors ior genera- tions are to be iulillled, the political millennium will be ushered in with Lbraying oi trumpets and crowing b! roosters. the cornucopia oi the MaoKenzie King Government willbe literally turned upside down and its benedcient contents poured upon the heads oi the expectant people, and we shall sit. each taxpayer under his own vine and rig-tree, basking at

, last. in lie glorious sunshine oi Fed-

oral Qvor.

The auspicious signs are all about ul- 1931. we are now iniorlned, will see among other things. the comple- tion oi the new car ierry steamer, the standardization oi the Murray Harbor railway. the building oi new railway workshops and yard accom- modation on the reclaimed ground at the eastern end oi Charlottetown, 1nd the completion oi the new C. N. It. hotel.

All this," oi course, on one condi- tion. There is. nrst, the little mat- ter oi a general election to be at- tended w. And, oi course, ii we are not good we shall not get any cake. At least. weshali not get any Liberal mo. There are many. however, who are beginning to weary oi promises, the fulfillment oi which always seems to mode beyond an election horiz- on. "Man never is. but always to be bl ‘," is a cynical truism ire- llilmtly lliplied by the King Govern- ment to the electors oi this Province, and there is no assurance that the good things promised ior 1931,which the Government unaccountably iail- ed to bring about during its present wterm oi oillce. will not again vanish like a mirage. The sincerity o! the Government can well be estimated by the iact that construction oi the car terry. which was promised definitely ior next year. has not yet been ten- tered ior. While the need has been ior haste, the Government has seen ht to mark time. It has shown, throughout its whole administration, a callous indiflerence to the require- Ilents o! the Province. but it has alaskied this indiflerence under so many honeyed assurances and ex- pressions oi sympathy that ll; seem- lngratitude on our part to insist up- an our rights. The coincidence be- tween the promised munificenccs in i931 and the forthcoming election is loo striking to be ignored, In view bi all the circumstances, it is more than doubtful ii the people this time will swallow the bait. As Lincoln is said once to have remarked, you can iool all the people some oi iv time, and some oi the people all the time. but you can't iool all the peo- pls all the time.

INTANTILE PABALYSIS

38ml iuthorlties in Ottawa are greatly concerned over the outbreak oi iniantile paralysis. It is expected. however. that with the coming oi told weather the deadly germs will disappear.

While it is gratifying to report that there has been no evidence oi lnian- tile paralysis in Charlottetown dur- ing the present summer, the provin- cial heolth omcer reports that three cases have been discovered elsewhere in the Province, and that in view a: the serious nature o! the disease ev- ery precaution is being taken to pro- vent ifs spreading. The cases dis- covered showed indefinite symptoms oi‘ iever. stomach disturbance. con- fllbation, and sore limbs. this con- dition lastlng three or (our days ai- ter which paralysis sets in. The dii- iiculty the authorities are up against is that doctors are not being called early enoush. and that it has been impossible to procure serum irom other Provinces, owing to the in- creased demand ior it. An endggvbr is now being made to procure the serum locally by preparing it from the blood oi children who have had the disease and recovered. In the mllniillw. PI-rents are advised to keep their children from picnics, public resorts and gatherings. Quir- antine regulations must be strictly enforced, and parents will b; asked to co-operate in every Precautionary measure which the authorities may see iit to adopt. ~

For the present there is no cause ior serious alarm in this Province, but it is essential that every precau-- tion be taken to keep the disease un- ‘der control,

CARMAN’! BIOGRAPHY

The ashes oi Bliss Cannarl have scarcely been interred at Frederic- ton. aiter greater homage being paid his memory than to any other Can- adian poet when the busy‘ biograph- ers insist on getting to work on his "Liie" while he is still "news." No- thing rnore uniltting could happen. comments. the Winnipeg Free Carman was great among our native bards and among the poets oi this continent, but littlg honor Vcanbe done him by the speedy and uncan- sidcred compilation oi a biography that is bound to be very sketchy at best, His work and memory should be given time to mellow, to assume slowly their rightful place in our na- tional literature.

TARIFF AND AGRICULTURE

Notes B_y__ Th Way

Already the hours oi possible sun~ shine have shortened lines the ions- est day in June last by about one hour and thirty minutes. The even- ings have lengthened out PEI-lentil’ and an much enjoyed by old and younr-

Speeking oi hours and days serves to remind one that it is hlzh time the calendar was changed as decided by the council oi the nurue oi Na- tions. The present calendar is ab- surd in many ways. The menthsare oi unequal length. Four oi them have thirty days each. one has 2B ek- eept in leap year, and the rest have 81 days each. -

The proposed new calendar would provide 13 months oi 38 days each tomake up the year. The ilrst day oi-ever; year and month would cor-

spond with the nrst day oi every week. Oi course. while that wouidbe vastly uua venient in many wlyfl. bui- objections would be made. on the grounds oi birth days and other an- niversaries. 50mg one would say, "I was born and was married on such a day. In this new plan, when all I be permitted to celebrate the anni- versary oi my birth, or oi my wed- ding day? I see that one oi them. orboth ot-them (all into another month now."

Another will say: A calendar should be ior all civiliud nations. The na- tions will never accept this new-isn- gled calendar. And yet all these troubles were met when the Calendar was last changed in the reign oi George the Second. That was in an. i767 and the world was troubled lol- a, time about “Old Style" and “New Style."

When New Style was introduced in England, Wednesday. September 2nd was ioliowed by Thursday. September 14th.‘ The Calendar had been los- ing time, so to speak, and New Style set it iorward. l2 days, just as we set iorward the hands ‘oi a clock that hasbeendosingtime. The nations did not all accept the new order o! computing time. One by one. how- ever, they did so, although Russia ‘ ’ under Old Style ior about zoo years aiter Britain had adopted New Style.

‘Illa Daily Tribune oi Winnipeg, a Conservative journal oi considerable circulation a'nd influence. published a‘ special despatch irom Ottawa the other day stating that the King Gov- ernmentior certain speciiled reasons would not bring on the next iederai 7election until 1931. With all due re- spect ior The ‘Tribune's special des- patch irom Ottawa, it Lrquitezclio to say that the Winnipeg paper knows just ls much about the date in question as the Liberals oi On- tario knew a iew weeks ago. when a rumor was set afloat that Premier Ferguson was asked about the date o! the provincial electionthere. and he delivered ihil oracular reply that "the Government had not even con- sidered the question."

lar rejoinder ii he were new asked to tell in wbatyearthe next iederal election will take place. Doubtless the election will come at such time as the Liberal leaders conclude will best serve the party's saiety. which is just now imperilled by the Gov- eminent/s pro-American leanings. That danger may become greater. and there's therub. Waiting in iear may b5 ‘less sale than quick action.

BsllZ-.Berha.ll-0-._._ THREE TYPES o! FAST HEART

In examining recruits ior overseas service we oiten came across young Chip! Who were "volunteering" their services and yet were so nervous that the heartratewasrunningashighas 100. even up to 140 beats to the min- ute.

‘They were requested to return in a few days, and-in the majority oi cases the heart was still beating very fluidly. -

When given exercise, such as sta- iiOHH-ry runnins. or hopping, the heart beat did not increase to any extent, and was back to its normal point in the usual two minutes.

The beats were reaular and most oi these cases were accepted, as they were considered "nonnal."

There is another type o! rapid heart which irightcns the patient but is not really danger-bug

This is where the attack oi rapid bcatins comes on suddenly and with- out warning. '

CLASH OI‘ OIIIDS 1N JlI-USALIM v

(The London Times.)

The Wailing Wall (the Kauthal mum or Western Wall oi the Jews), where occurred the episodes which produced last Fridays explo- sion in Palestinc. is‘. as Holy Places go in that country. oi no great age. Its stones,“ it ls true, msyweli have been laid under the eye oi King Sol- omon, but the custom oi wailing has grown up since the Crusades. For antiquity as alloly Place it ranks aiter such immemorial objects oi veneration as the Oak o! Mamre. the Rock oi Sacriilce. or the Tomb oi Abraham.

The Wailing Wall is, however, very much more closely connected in the minds oi pious Jews with the iormer greatness oi their race than any oi these because no pious Jew will ap- proach the Rock oi Sacrifice ior iear oi treading upon the iorbidden site oi the Holy oi Holies. So iar back as can be remembered the narrow little ‘courtyard. some ilve-and-twenty ieet wide. at, the bottom oi the Wail- ing Wall has been a cul-desac just over 50 yards long. It is a. public P1108. and everybody has the right to go into it. but the Wall itseli, the pavement in iront oi the Wall, and thg houses which overlook the court are the property o1 a Moslem Wadi. or pious iounda" A Moslem pious ioundation may be. and ire- quently is, put to ordinary lay uses, just as e. house may be owned ‘in this country by a Cathedral Chapter and leased ior use as a shop or cinema. Many Moslem _Wa.qis were originally

tituted in order to preserve iam- ily property irom the rapacity oi the Sovereign, as they were. while being nominaly devoted to the upkeep oi some mosque. college, charity. or ior the beneiit oi the Holy Cities oi Mec- ca and Al Medina, burdened with a perpetual pension in iavor oi the ioundefa heirs or nominees. Thus pa Waqi may be a really pious iounda- tion or a sort oi iamily entail with only a formal semblance oi piety about it.

s New rrorousbruo

While the courtyird was a cul-‘de- sac. there was no great diillculty about accommodating those Jews who daily came in ones or twos, or in scores upon the Sabbath. tostand on the Moslem pavement and lean against the Moslem Wall whichused to be King solonioirs. but within “the last iew weeks the" Moslelns have built some staircases through‘ their property so that one oi‘ the doors which previously only led into one oi tha houses giving cnito the court- yard now opens into a -_ v way which connects the courtyard with the Bab a1 Magharibe. one oi the entrances to the l-laram-esh-Sherli, to the south. and a good deal higher up. This means that the courtyard in iront oi the Wailing Wallhasbeen converted into l. thoroughiare ior Moslems (as there is no particular

’ reason to suppose that the passages

and staircases through the Moghrabi houses at the south end 'oi the court- yard are open as a right oi way ior Christians or Jews.) The stairs and passage have been built subject to the building regulations now in iorce in Jerusalem. and have, therefore. oillcial sanction. indeed, it is dimcult to see how their construction could have been iorbidden by the authori- ties without arousing indignant, and justiiiable, protests iroln ths~Mos- lems.

The Jews, however. maintain that the thoroughiare ior Moslems has been created with the deliberate in- tcntion oi iacilitating an increase in the volume oi periectly legal traiiic through the courtyard in hopes oi thereby annoying the Jews ‘ in their devotions at the Wall. To

So tar. however, the Moslems have very rarely (except .under stress oi Christian onquest, when the Dome oi the Rock became the Temple Church and the Aqsa Mosque was turned into a Royal palace) parted with any oi their shrines, and in the present instance maintain that. while they have permitted the Jewstouae the courtyard in iront oi the Wailinl Wall ior private devotions, the Jaws have no right to use the courtyard ior congregational worship, with the usual accompaniment o! mats, chairs. ‘tables, lights, and the ceremonial screen or partition which usage pre- scribes between the men and the wo- men.
