“Mr. Sinclair and the Ontario Liberal Association are products far more than they are causes of a long decline. General Debility has been in chief command, partly be- cause of ineffective organization and administration of Liberal af- fairs; but really because Liberals have been content to stumble in- stead of marching along the Lib- eral road. ‘flint (allure 80cc a long way back and extends very far; and it is no more use thrashing around fur somebody to thrash than it would be for n doctor to prescribe flogging for blindness."

The Era may at least console itself w'th the reflection that Ontario is not the only province which has seen a. decline in Liberalism. Its party lasdnsl have lost prestige in every province — even in Quebec, as was evidenced in the last federal contest. As for Prince Edward Island, one need only point to the last Tra- falgar Day episode, when the staun- chat Liberal constituency in the province turned its back upon Prem- icr Lou's candidate and. elected a conservative for the first time since Confederation. _

One of the causes of tho defeat of the Liberal party in Ontario at the last election is attributed by tbs E7110 to tlic fact that the Liberal olnpaidn managers underrated‘ the intelligence of the Ontario voter. We commend this diagnosis to the thoughtful con- slilffflillOll of our local contemporary.

Ono a! the wont difficulties which those who hope to see India firmly set on the road to progress must overcome is the caste system. At a recent dinner given by the Mahar- ajah of Baroda in London, to mem- bers of the India. Conference, was Dr. Ambedkar, who although one of the most learned and eminent men in India today, and a delegate to the Conference, is a member of the despised Mahar caste of scavengers, and therefore an "untouchable." In commenting upon the sumo outlook of the Maharajah, who is having Dr. Ambedkar as his guest was flouting the prejudices of nearly 50,000,000 high caste natives of India, a contemporary tells of the handi- cap imposed by the caste system. In the case of Dr. Ambedkar, says the Ottawa Journal, here is s. man who is a doctor of science of the University of London and of philosophy from Columbia, the author of a dozen works on econom- ics and finance. Yet he is forbidden even to walk on the same side of the street with any high caste In- dian. Not only this, but when Dr. Ambedkar returns from London where he has been the guest of His Majesty the King, of great nobles and high dignitaries, he must return t.) a slum quarter of Bombay where the "untouchables" of that city are herded. His very presence in any other quarter would "contaminate" all those who came in contact with him, and from high caste Hindus he receives less consideration than a mangy dog. When it is remembered that there are more than 20,000,000 “untouchables” in India almost hope- lessly bound to a caste system which

THE ELECTRIC KNIFE FOR CANCER

You have been hearing from time to time about the ‘electric knife’ or diathermic knife, which surgeons have been using for certain opera- tions.

As this knife cuts it so heats or sears the tissue that there is no bleeding, and this is worth a great deal tc patient and surgeon where even a slight loss of blood might endanger the patients life.

Also in cases where there is or blight be considerable infection this heated knife will kill all organisms with which it comes in contact.

One of the latest and most bril- iiant uses of this diathermy knife is in operations for removal of cancer. Dr. H. von Seemcn shows that many cancers, that have undergone other forms of treatment without success, may be safely removed by this method. And the removal has been so effective that these cases have remained cured.

And the reasons for the success of this method in removing cancer are the same as for other operations, namely; the prevention of any loss of blood because the heated knife sears the ends of the blood vessels and the killing of all the harmful organisms in the area. about the cancer. . Another big point is that as n11 the vessels have their ends closed by this scarring or heating method, no part of the cancer can go to other parts ofthe body, as happens some- times during the ordinary operation, or where no operation has been por-

With its customary modesty, the United States is to have its history epitomized and emblazoned on the side of e. mountain ‘in the Black Hills of South Dakota. This “'11.! in be u. condensed story touching only the high spots, and of course, Calvin Coolidge. former sententious Presid. cnt or the Republic, was chmen to do the condensing, while an eminent sculptor undertook to give his coun- fry immortality on the eternal hills.

But sculptors and men of brief speech do not always agree, and some revisions were made in the 500-word summary of the nation's life story. The revisions pleased the sculptor, but not the author; so Mt‘. Coolidge has repudiated the revised text, the sculptor has nothing to go on with, and all the country has left out of it is the mountain.

Now it will s11 have to be done over again. m. Coolidge probably will not choose to make another con- trlbution. and there is no one else in sight in the Republic who can say anything in 500 words. It is all very unfortunate; but the people of the

Why does a man like William Lyon l “

Phelps, Yale professor and author, say, as he is reported to have said the other day, that "slang, like profanity is the resource of those whose vocab- ulary is limited?" Somehow, we have a strong conviction that he is wrong, and we wish he hadn't said it. We depreciate his sweeping dictum bo- cuuse, as we should say, we think he is scholar and gentleman, or, as one of the long line of his own lively pupils would put it, "a. regular guy.” Yes, we think we shall leave him to them, for he is no pedant or "dim bulb," and when they greet his pro- nouncement as "boloney," we are pretty sure he will know what they mean.

We should like to say something, with whatever conditions and pro- visional ciauses, on the side of slang. We can not persuade ourselves that

East Renfrew went Conservative in the last general election by the narrow nlargln of 1,563 votes in a poll of 34,000. In the byelection recently it returned Mr. Baldwin's candidate by a majority o! over 7.000 against the Indipendent Labor candidate, Baillie Irwin, who repre- sented the insurgent Left Wing section of the Ministerial party. The vote polled by the Marquis of Douglas and Clydesdale, Conserva- tive, was 19,753, and that of Irwin, Laborite, 12,293, whilo the Na- tionalist candidate received 4,818 votes.
