,' . FIRST THINGS FIRST

lt- is to be regretted that the thoroughfare on the Island, namely, the highway between Borden and Charlottetown. has been one of the last to be attended to this seas- q, The tourist business, which oi- dcially opens on‘ the first oi July, is actually already under ‘ way, and many visitors from the neighboring peovincaslas well as from the Unit- ed. States. are arriving daily. At present the Borden-Charlottetown road is in a condition which, to say the least, is discreditable, and many snniplaints are being made about it. an army oi road machines is of little practical: use u there is not intelli- rant supervision at the head of the department.

AN INDUSTRY WOITH WHILE

_We note that the government of gritish Columbia, impressed with the pmsibility of developing a market {or strawberries in England -and oth- as countries, purposes this year in eta-operation with the growers, to carry out experiments in the pro- ceasing of berries which will include the Dutch method of treating ber- ries with dioxide of sulphur, a meth- od used by the Dutch growers to ship their fruit t0 English markets. uperiments will also be made with the use of sugar, and with freezing’ -_>-the existence of cold storage plants up convenient points being of greet assistance in the latter process. 'I‘he purpose, as outlined by Premier Tol- mie, is to ‘expand the berry market fol-take care, not only of the pres- ent-output, but oi a much larger poduction. All jam manufactured by the growers this year, with the of agovesnment loan, will be subiect to strict government super- vision-as to quality oi fruit. the amounts oi sugar used. etc., to in- sure the reputation of ‘British cor- ugoba berries in outside markets being maintained.

_ln other provinces. press notices appeenfrom time to time with re- spect, to government activities in en- couraging the development oi lu- crative agricultural and horticul- tural sidelines. It will be recalled that one oi the pie-election planks oi the Ieundere Government in‘ this Pro- vinblmes "to promote the growing 0i. panbenies, blueberries. and small

v vegetables." This promise was ob- Vioiialyintended to assure our peo-

, pie that. the activities orthe Stew- art Government in appointing a hor- ueiuitrqai expert end initiating a fruit culture movement would be fol- lowed up and expanded by the Lib- eral ‘party ifreturned to power. So fer, QPPl-rently, the only action tak- enbylar. saunders and his col- leagues has been to dismiss the ex- appointed by their predeces- eore under the technical grant. It is knoyn that hundreds of acres oi and blueberry lands are available in this Province and that e mill-kyle indmtrv could he built up both in the marketing and can- ning oi these and other small fruits. Apple culture, also. could be deval- qpia into a valuable sideline if pro- peiheqeouragement and instruction were oven ‘

ThFi-nitiatlve, of course, should pom the Government. The of Agriculture has ‘ ,uent- M-Atlslgflsed his gppreciation oi the {glue fliruit ouitllfl. and it is to-

anti-militarlst measure. The terms of the Disarmament Bill to be in- troduced in the legislature are dras- tic enough to satisfy the most ar- dent pacinst. It provides that the Army and the Navy shell be abolish- ed, together with the Ministries of War and Marine. All fortifications would be demolished end the con- scription system discarded. »0l11Y l constebulary force, organired 0n non-military lines, would be retain- ed for guarding the frontier, togeth- er with a smell State Marine‘ for police work. It is quite probable that the bill will pass, though ti"! ""1 Coalition does not command a ma- jority in the Upper House. Should it become law, Denmark will have taken the first definite step towards realizing universal peace.

“Granted that Denmark's pro- gramme is attcnded with risk." says the Glasgow Herald, "it should be realised that some de- gree oi risk must be taken if any real progress is to be made in dis-_ armament. And other Powers. which find it as yet impracticable to follow her example, must ap- plaud the courage which enables a State to give such practical ex- pression to an ideal for which all are striving."

ROSEBERY ON OLD SPEECHES

The writings of the late Lord Rosebery, which have mme into de- served prominence since his death, reveal him as a man oi mellow cul- ture, oi sound sense and high vis- ion, ;_ in a literary style at once llmpid and profound. The fol- lowing charming passage from his Miscellanies should find a place be- side the Fssays oi Ella. and the sob- erer musings of Sir Thomas Browne:

"No one reads old speeches any more than old sermons. The in- dustrlous historian is compelled to explore them for the purposes oi political history, but it is a. dreary and reluctant pilgrimage . The more brilliant and telling they were at the time the more dolorous the" quest. The lights are extinguish- ed, the flowers are faded, the voice seems cracked across the empty space of years; it. sounds like a message from a. remote telephone. One wonders if that can really be the scene that fascinated and iri- spired. was this the passage we thought so thrilling. this the epi- gram that seemed to tinlifl. W15 the peroration that evoked such a storm oi cheers? It all seems as fiat as decanted champagne. . . . All the accompaniments have dis- appeared-the heat, the audience, the interruptions, and the applause -and whet Nmains seems cold and flabby."

NOT SO BAD!

The latest tonic for British agri- culture, says the London Daily Chronicle, is fox farming. Here is a tale a northern farmer told the ed-

been doing badly for several years. Then a son of his came home from Canada and said: “Dad, why don't you breed foxes for fur?" He talked his father's obiectlons down, and when he went back sent over thirty blue and silver foxes. "Well, the re- sult is." said the farmer, “that last year I dropped e thousand ,. ’ on the old farm, but I've made twelve hundred on the foxes, so I'm cominli out all right." '

You may sometimes wonder why so many people die of heart ailments; ‘in fact more than ever before in history.

You may also sometimes wonder why this is true with the medical proiessionso much better equipped than‘ ever before. ‘ z

It is not the fault of the profesion that there are so many cases, because all over the world there are organiza- tions whose sole object is the study , of the cause and treatment of heart ailments;

And they are putting the heart all- ments into certain different classes so that physicians everywhere will be ‘working from the some standpolnts.

Your family doctor will tell you that in his days at college (that is i: he has been practising a few years) all that was expected of him was to be able io tell which valve of the heart was affected. The treatment was always about the same.

Now these organizations which are studying the heart, locket it from iour main standpoints.

First, what is actually causing the heart ailment. Isn‘t it rheumatic fever, tonsilitis, thyroid condition,

CHAPTER. 1B

The summer oi 1918 witnessed the turn of the iniltarytidc the final col- lapse of the German offensive in France. and tlie triumphant counter- cffcnsivc of the Allicd armies under the coordinating dircolon oi ’Fach. I: was natural that during the same period preparation for- harvesting the results of the impending military victory should bc hastened. Few guessvd how close that victory was, but there was an instinctive cryzsial- lzation of plans for the peace. In France, Grcnt Britain and the Un- ited States the committees which had long been at work gathering data. for the Peace Conference, began to put the results oi their studies into compai-szively definite and final form.

gesting that the belligerents state their peace conditions, he intimated that. ‘a concert of nations immediate- ly practicable‘, was lhe chief purp- Pose oi the settlement. In his speech of January I, I917, he spoke of a ‘covenant of cooperative peace’ of a ‘concert of power’ which should re‘- place the entangling" alliances oi the past. The speech of the Fourteen Points, Januarypdth, 191B, culminated in his insistence upon a ‘general es- sociailon oi nations‘ which ‘must be formed under specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guaranteu of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike. -

know and failing to find out-"whet Mr. Rowell has cost the Govern- ment?" Mr. Power was supported in his quest for information by sever- nl other Liberal members, also by some Progressives and a Laboritc, but about all they got from Hon. Mr. Euler, Minister of Revenue, was that Mr. Rowellls counsel was worth, in his opinion much more than it ‘had cost. . It was charged by Mr. Power an others that Mr. Rowell was not sym- paethetic with the Government's

‘policy in regard to clearances for

liquor-laden vessels bound for U. S. ports, and that he had lost the sym- pathy cf a large portion of the popu- lation. These matters, Mr. Euler ar- gued, had "nothing to do with the case," while the assertive critics con- tended they had "everything" to do with it.

It is gratifying to learn that the _Ot.tawa Government has decided to adopt the British system of separat- ing youthful criminals from those older in years and crime. To that. end the sum of $000,060 has been plac:d in the supplementary esti- mates for the establishment of two penal institutions, one in Ontario and the other in Quebec. In these it is intended to detain prisoners sent- enced to two years imprisonment while still under the age of 22 years.

It is stated that there are always in Canadian prisons as many as 300 young men under 20 years, and more than 1,100 between the ages of 20 and 30. The method of separating such young criminals from contact with those older and hardened in crime has worked well in the Mother Country and may be hoped to be equally effective in Canada. Many youths who in the heat. of youthful blood have gone astray and have been convicted by the courts are not really bad at heart, and are still ca- pable of becoming good citizens.

News of the election in South Af- rica is rather confusing and not eas- ily understandable at this distance. Party names, racial differences, pre- judices and problems are altogether different from whet we are familiar with in Canada. as are also the var- ied empioyments of the people.

Oi the leaders, l-Iertsog now in power and General Smuts who has led the Opposition forces, patriotic citizens of the Empire outside oi the S. A. Union had formed opinions in advance, very favorable to General Smut: and unfavorable with regard to his opponent.
