passed the House but had been gi- eated in the Senate. The Toronto Globe expresses the hope that the proposed amendment "will not fare bettergthis time." The first clause of the section which it Ls proposed to repeal reads as follows:

Any association. organization, society. or corporation whose professed purpose, or one of whose purposes is to bring about any governmental, industrial or economic change within Canada by use of force, violence, or phy- sical injury to person or pro- perty, or by threats of such in- jury, or which teaches, advocates, advises or defends , the use of force, violence, terrorism or phy- sical injury to person or pro- perty, or threats of such injury in order to accomplish such change, or for any other purpose or which shall by any means prosecute or pursue such pur- pose or professed purpose, or

association. _ I Clause 3 provides penalties for any person who acts or professes to act as an officer of such unlawful assocla- I

any such unlawful association, or be- "some and continue a. member there- of, or contribute thereto or solicit’ contributions or subscriptions for it, and other clauses penalise any owner, lessee or agent of any building or room. For the most serious offences under the existing sections of the Code that, deal with unlawful and seditious associations penalties up to twenty years imprisonment are pro- vided. It seems that the sponsor for the amendments now proposes thinks it not enough to emasculate the ex- isting law, but also add thereto a sec- tion providing that as long as revolu- tionary propaganda is conducted tin" good faith" 1t is not to be regarded as "of seditious intention.” '

Every anarchist, revolutlonist and advocate of sedition and Sovietlsm in Canada will ' be thankful to Mr. Lapolnte for his effort to take the teeth out of the Criminal Code so far as it deals with their seditious and revolutionary acts and propaganda. And their number is increasing ln the cities ofﬁanada. As The Globe justly sets forth:

Sin-In conversation with some other Foxmen lately, the holding o! a Provincial Live Fox Show came up for discussion, and so enthused have I become with the idea that I have decided to write your valuable paper hoping toget the views of others engaged in this very proﬁtable branch of live stock raising.

Many of jur sister Provinces now have annual Fox shows. and certain- ly if we are to hold our own as ﬂ Province at the Royal in coming years we will need to give the opportunity for competition and comparison which

And that is that influenza has been causing iliany ilormlll people to be- come patients ill our hicnrill ho; . his.

Sir George Sllvtlgc IIs-ll been quoted as having considered influenza as most likely of‘ all infectious disc-ages to be followed by ulclital disorder.

Dr. T. C. Graves tells us that there are two nlaiil groups in which mo“. cnza. was known to be a factor in the causation cf the iiieiltal illness,

The ﬁrst. group consisted of those cases of influenza which were fol- lowed inlmecliatcly by tug month] condition. The second group is whore there is an interval between the ill- ﬁuenza infection mid the develop- ment of the lilclltal disorder, in which the patient \‘.'lll be in a lo\v or poor state of health for some time after the inﬂuenza. ilriorc the ihciilrii trou- ble ensues. Dr. Graves is iilost emph- atic in urging that patient and doctor look most carelully for infections of ears, tonsils, and sinuses.

It would appear illtll. CllTOllir: ihlecl tion of ears, tonsils, sinuses, all in the head you'll remember, are made more severe and active by illc inn“- enza. and menial (iIalUYbHIICC dev- elops.

The Doctor attributes much of the insanity ln the Province to heredity and to "intermarriage where there isa ommon family taint."

Tho new quota arrangement to be brought into effect on July 1 in the United States may seriously compete with Canada's chances of‘ securing British immigrants. As already stated in The Guardian the quota opens the gate for the admission of 65,751 immigrants from Great Britain and northern Ireland, where hitherto barely half that number could be ad-

mitted. The pressure from the Brit- ish side to get into the States has been far in excess of the quota. limit. This has been due in part to climatic reasons and partly to better prospects of securing well paid enlploylnent. And as for coming to Canada, Mr. Forkeu methods have not proved’ satisfactory to intending immigrants on the other side nor to British or non-British people in Canada.

A well-informed correspondent tells- that the King Government made a determined effort to have the budget debate concluded before the Easter adjournment. But the eﬂortfco block or defer the debate on the grain trade failed, with the result that the bud- get is still at the front and no one knows when it may end. The House cannot get fully into the estimates until after April 10 and it may be taken for granted that five or six weeks will be consumed in this work. And when going into supply it is quite possible that a series of amend- ments may be moved, based 0n the declarations of policy adopted at the Conservative National Convention in Winnipeg.

The New Brunswick Legislature was prorogued on Wednesday last after one of the shortest sessions on record. It began on February 2i and closed just mm woelu later. In that time it dealt with 120 separate bills compared with the 84 which were passed last your.

But, alas! the name “Donagh" conspicuous by its absence. So, thesd; five Second Class teachers do not hold diplomas from the Prince of Wales College, that ls, they have all made less than 65 percent in their college course—a pretty poor showing indeed. (Yet the Present Teacher in fills district holds a First Year Dip- loma from the Prince of Wales Coll- ege!) One would imagine that at least one of these five teachers possesseda Diploma. But apparently the whole five merely squeezed through. being able to get Just enough to secure a license of the Second Class.

But on looking eve-r the list of cer- tificate winners (1002-26). I lulled to find the name "Donagh". Alas! Don- agh has not. been doing her duties in educational matters.
