ators of the day were temperance lecturers. Out of-thls continuous educative propaganda came one af- ter another the restraining and re-

gulatinglleglslativc acts which fin-

ally culminated fu the present Pro-l

hlbltlon Act and in the prohibition acts lu other countries and in some of our sister Canadian provinces-

Unfortunately when this goal was reached, when it became unlawful to buy or sell liquor all effort in the direction of education was neg- lected. Education, it was believed, was no longer needed. The law had Bald "Thou Shalt Not." and we left the law tn carry out lts com- mantis.

The law has done it to a much greater degree than we give it credit for. Anyone ‘who can look back twenty or thirty years, who can recall the old time exhibitions, horse racer, tea parties and other public gatherings at which drink- ing audjlghtlug appeared to be the only visible reason for the gather- ing, will appreciate the change that has been wrought by prohibi- tion. True the evil has not been fully conquered. The bootlegger and the llllclt distiller who, for the lake of a few dollars, is ready to risk his liberty and bis reputation, ll with us in ever decreasing num- bers. We hear much about there and the immense business they are doing. 1n yesterday's Guardian some comment was mule on the liquor traffic through the little ls- lnd of St Pierre. A million dol- lar cargo of liquor was landed there a few days kgo to be smuggled lu- to the United Btalea- Part of it will get into the United States and part of other cargoes will also get In. ht when we remember that be- fore prohibition war enacted in the Ualtpd States the yearly import of

‘Fhcn came the war with Ger- many and the Danes found theat- se-lvc-s bankrupt. They could ob- credits, no help of any kind from the government. The leaders held frequent conferences on the situation and finally decided that the only way in which the country .could be saved was to adopt such a system of farming as would increase soil fertility. They advocated the production of milk and bacon. The ‘system was ad0p~ ted. Grain of all kinds was taboo- ‘ed. The government aided as it .could in training the farmers, lu- sisted on the inspection of all the butter. cheese and bacon that left the country.

I tain no rural

ln a few years the system was so developed that Dan- ish butter and cheese and bacon se- cured the best place in the British tnarket and the land became a0 fertile that the country was able to supply itself with grains needed for home consumption. The grow- lng of grain however was only a side line, the great business was the manufacture of butter and cheese and bacon-

Thls system, when generally adopted, will be the salvation of this country as It was the salvation of Denmark. We have an infinit- ely better climate and a much bet- ter soil than Denmark and follow- lng her example in, the production of quality rathefthan quantity we shall some day be able to place our products side by aide with hers in the British market and demand as high a price.

Curious howothe king govern- ment has discovered that the ox- penaes of admlulltratlon at Ottawa are unnecessarily high. We had heard this long since from other

quarters. The pruning knife. we are assured, will. be applied at once! There is another knife

What is now com- pialned of is that the personnel of §the service has not been since sui- tficicntly- reduced.

The war ended more than five lyears ago. Sir Robert Borden, ow- lln: to impaired health, resigned lthe Premiership July 10, 1920 and lthe llleizhen Government succeed- ‘cd to power which was terminated by defeat at the general election of December 1921. The King Govern- ment assumed power December 20 of that year.

of the service which numbered

50.307 in 1019-20 was 41,641 in-1920-

It u. readily admitted that the’! civil service was increased -from' 29,135 in 1913-14 to 50,307 ln 1919-1 20. Th1,- was not surprising and was nut complained of. You can't tnohillse 600,000 men.’ send over 450,000 of thcm across the sea; have 200,000 casualties; 60,000 dead and nearly 110,000 others to be cared for ln hospitals and homes; you can't bring back from England and France 340,000 men and 43.000 dependants; place nearly 30,000 of them on farms; pay $30,000,000 a year in DGDSlOIlB and give thousands of others wocational training-you can't do all those things without hiring a. large add-

itional staff. The Union and Melghen Governments did these things which explains why they

needed so many officials. But they began reducing the number as soon as possible. Just as soon as these extra employees could be dispensed with they were let go. The best proof all this ls that 8,666 went out in a single year.

THE MOTHERLESS

Speak kindly to the motherless. How little ye may know, How deep the tide of grief that o'er - That striker; heart may flow; Or how life's anxious cares may throng That and and lonely way, So fate with joys all radiant, like The smiling month of May.

Deal gently with the motherlesa Think how that mother pray'd When death's white hand in heavi-

ness Upon her heart was laid; That He, who "losed the silver cord," Would keep ber orphan child Amidst the thousand ills of life. Still pure and undeflled.

Deal truly with the motherland Amid the world's deceit,

And guide with love and tender-

The youthful wanderer’: feet

Be first to point out virtue’: path. The last to harshly abide,

But teach to shun the many snares, That ller on every ride.
