King Government Doomed

According to Mr. Shelton Sharp, who has iust returned from a Do- minion-wicle tour in the interests of the Canadian F‘ox Breeders Associa- tion, the consensus of opinion in 8V6?! Province is that the King Gov- ernment is doomed. Premier Mac- kenzie King realizes this himself. It is quite evident to those who con- verse with him privately, or even hear him publicly that he is depres- e-d and discouraged. It is coming home to him as it must come home. sooner or later to all men similarly disposed, that you cammt fool all the people all the time. According to his own admission, five or six years ago the Dairy Industry of Canada W15 so prosperous that we were exporting millims of pounds of butter in com- petition with the produce of other countries. l-Ie deliberately set about to undermine this great and profit- able basic industry by lowering the tariff to our principal Imperial com- petitor. New Zealand, enabling them to come into Canada and kill us in our own markets. He vigorously de- fended this policy against all criti- cisms. and when the Dairy Council d Canada four years ago tried to persuade him that his policy would n-act on Canada in a way that he would not appreciate. he sent them about their business. telling them in dost that a market in New Zealand for the American produced automo- bila assembled in Canada meant more h him than the stability and prospecfty of the Dairy Industry. Now that his policy has played havoc with ljnirying, and the people are in a position to express their views upon it at the polls. Mr. Mackenzie King loses hls- Dutch courage. and offers

to try and undo the harm he. has‘

wought. But it is too late. The handwriting on the wall too plainly pronounces his doom. Hence his cle- presion. hence his shuffling gait.

Soldier's Pensions

Liberal speakers and newspapers have had much to say recently about inlzuers pensions and the credit due h the King Government for intro- lurk‘: gun's“ h-gfsloma flfi! with the returned soldier applying for disability pension the benefit of the doubt. At the joint political meeting at. Wood Islands Thursday night Mr. hfcLure effectively dealt with this matter. He showed convinc- ingly that as far back as April i3. 1927. Hon. R. B. Bennett moved an amendment. to the Pensions Act cal- ling for remedial legislation that would place the onus of establishing a doubt as to a returned man's war disability upon the Pensions Board. The Hansard reports of the Parlia- mentary debates of that year show that when this amendment was vot- ed upon the Prime Minister and every Liberal member in the House Qppused it, while every Conserva- tive in the House voted for the am- cndment. Arthur Currie espoused Med and at the close of the past ses-

_eion, almost three years after Mr. ,Bennet had moved his amendment. the King Govemment introduced the required changes in the Act.

This death-bed repentance with pegard to war veterans‘ pensions is in line with other belated actions of the Government. There was no Con- servative opposition tn the measure

“at any time; but had the Conserva- tives been in power in 1921 the Act- would have gene through three years

Better Stick to Fisheries!

Those who expected exalted dis- course from the new Minister of Fisheries. Hm. D. Cyrus Maclnillan of McGill, were disappointed at Wood Islands the other night when the Hon. Dr. Cyrus endeavored to make political capital out of the fact that Boa. R. B. Bennett was a million- n-ira. and that some of the other

Dr. Cyrus, his leader Premier King and the other members of the Gov- ernment and the Liberal party gen- erally weredust plain folks, common men who had the interests of the masses and not the classes at heart. He. neglected to tell his audience about the Beauharnois transaction, into which I-Ion. R. B. Bennett ask- ed for a judicial investigation and about which the Prime Minister re- mained as dumb as an oyster. Neith- er did he tall the good people of Wood Islands that one of the latest appointments made by the King Government to the Senate of Canada was that of Hon. Lawrence Wilson, wholesale liquor magnate. nor did he say anything about the million- aire Senator Dr. McDougald. the Prime Minister's Montreal friend. nor the millionaire Senator Haydon, the Prime Minister's boon compan- ion who accompanied him to Ber- muda to concoct the notorious elec-

Premier Mackenzie King blows hot and cold ln one breath. He told us that the reason why the Govern- ment, over whose destinies he presid- es. did not assume all the cost of old age pensions was because his law of- ficers advised him it was illegal; and next minute he said it was worth considering. Who are his law of- ficers? The men he himself chose to advise him, Messrs. Lapointe and

Notes By_7_' he Way

An Ontario paper complains. it is rumored that parties in that province have acquired the habit of charging‘ tourists excessive rates. ‘Other prop vinces mightwell take the advice‘ proffered by that newspaper when it, says the garage which sees a chance‘- to overcharge the tourist when he comes, along,—the merchant who tuck on an extra profit, the rooming house which charges first class hotel rates, the guide who asks an unfair rate, they are all killing the goose that lays the golden egg. All tour- ists, it must be remembered are not all millionaires. The United States has plenty of these, but it also has a great many maze ordinary cclarad people who on vacation. get out their motor cars and take a run up to Can- ada. These people. well to do in ‘a way, cannot stand too high prices. In other words if they are ovrrcharg- ed they will not come back again. and what is more serious, they vill ad- vise their frienrls not to ‘come.

Canada's continuous lowering of her tariff of which Senator Dandur- and boasted at Geneva has resulted. says the Canadian Labor Press, in seven billion dollars worth of foreign goods being imported into this coun- try, has closed many factories and strangled many infant industries, has caused the abandonment of many farms and has driven a million wage earners to seek employment under an alien flag.

At the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. the other day, a special call was issued to scientific men in all branches of learning for a concen- trated and co-operative attack on cancer.

With an increase of more than six- ty per cent. in the number of deaths in Canada _in the hst six years it might have been expected that the Government would do something to combat the disease by the encourage- ment of research and by the distri- bution of such knowledge as would‘ tend to decrease the incidence of this.‘ dread disease. So far Canada has done nothing in the battle against cancer. Save what individuals in scattered hospitals and universities hove done on their own account. The call now comes for mobilization of all

both representing Quebec constituencies. As Premier Rhodes pointed out the other day. it was these same law officers who advised Mr. King that the legislature of‘ Nova scotia could not abolish its up- | per chamber, whereas the Privy] Council ruled otherwise. It was thei same legal advisers who told Mr.‘ King that the Nova Scotia Govern-é merit and not the. King Govern-i merit; was responsible for the ex-i pense of utilizing the militia in c0n-'

Bolshevism has built many 0f its hopes upon its propaganda in the East. But the East. at any rate the Islamic and Buddhist east. is essen- tially religious and is unlikely to wel- come the advocacy of atheism in any form. Neither in India. where po- litical movements are invariably col- ored by religious beliefs, nor in the world of Islam nor in Jewry is blat- ant and aggressive irreligion a pass- port to lasting esteem or influence. Great Britain is now confronted in Palestine and India with problems that will test both her fair-minded-. ness and her state craft. should have little reason to fear tlolshevist prop- aganda when its true character is made plain.

It Is not generally known that Red Fife wheat was originally a product of a handful of wheat procured from Scotland by a Scottish emigrant Mr. David Fife. Early in the eighties, the seed grown from this original stock in Peterboro. Ontario went west. Under the name of Red Fife the wheat it yielded gained a high repu- tation in the markets and became

ANOTHER METHOD 0F GETTING TO SLEEP.

You will remember the old system of trying to get off to sleep, in which you counted sheep going through a hole in the fence or jumping over a wall.

0f course the whole idea in this was to get you interested and absorb- ed in this counting, that you wouldn't have a. chance to think of other things. And it was these other things that really kept you awake.

In mental institutions where the patients are deficient, in brain sub- stance, morons lmbeciles, and idiots. there is not any difficulty getting them off to sleep, because they have really nothing to think about, nothing with which to think. _

And slecplessness is really caused by the brain remaining active when it should be at rest.

For this reason any little annoy- ance in the home or bedroom should be removed if possible-a leaky tap, a flapping blind. a loose windowtan un- comfortable mattress. a sagging spring, poor ventilation.

Even with these removed, you may still remain awake because you have certain definite things-worries, cares, plans-on your mind.

1t is for this reason that counting sheep, making large capitals on an imaginary blackboard or other men- tal acts have been suggested and of- ten with success.

Another recent method comes from m. E.‘ n. Cornwall of Brooklyn. The idea i5 m mnoentrate on certain muscular acts so that the brain cells occupied in thinking. being deprived of your regular serious attention, more easily subside into relaxation and sleep.

These muscular acts do not disturb the body as a whole, as you can lie quietly relaxed as you do them.

There gre four muscular acts, all done at once.

(a) Raise corners of your mouth as in smiling.

1b» Breathe more slowly 8nd deeply (nan irsual-as if your 8TB W?!’ iiftd" exhausted.

(c) close the eyelids.

(m Raise or turn eyeballs up slisht- ly. These acts are kept up continuous- iymn rest, or intermission-and as they do not disturb the body i5 a whom mental and physical relaxtiori causes them to stop Wiihmll 511°C“-

Naturally if you keep 11D these 1°“ simple acts at. the one time for any length of time. you lust cent think of other things. and so you 59¢ 0“ "3 sleep. —

CHURCHES IN THE UNITED STATES

(Montreal Gazette)

The old story of the churches los- ing their influence, which periodical- ly is a topic of discussion in various quarters, is not borne out by data compiled for the Institute of Social and Religious Research by Dr. Luth- er Fry, as regards the United States. The Institute is financed by John D. Rockefeller. jr.. and the material pre- pared by Dr. Fry fills a large volume. The statistics show that out of every 100 persons over 13 years of age in

the Southern Baptist Convention 3,300.. V000 the Methodist Episcopal Church South over 2,000,000, and the Negro BEDtists about the same. The Pres- byterian Church in the United States, the Protestant Episcopal Church, the Disciples of Christ and the Northern I Baptist Convention have from 1,000,- ‘ 000 to 2.000.000 adult members, while} the United Lutheran Church have in ‘ the neighborhood of 900,000 members i each. In general, five women are church members to each four men. The survey points out that in states where the suicide rate is high, church l‘ membership is low. On the whole, the i

the United States 55 are church mem- bers. which is about the same as the figures for ten and twenty years ago. The people living in tovms and cit- ies lead in church membership with 58 per cent. as against 52 per cent. in the rural parts. There are 212 sep- arate denominations, with 232.000 churches and 44,380,000 membersl De- xiominational Sunday schools have an enrolment oi’ over 21,000,000 pup- ils, and. besides, there are the pupils in zindenominational Sunday schools and in parochial schools. ’l‘his may be taken as an encouraging sign. for it, means that church membership for the future is fairly well assured. The value of church buildings alone. not. including the manses and the like. is given as sasooxiorioon. a hi: increase in recent years. The strength of the churches may be imagined when it is considered that there are 232.000 of them. compared with the 256,000 pub- lic school buildings in the country. while the total of 21,000,000 Sunday

report shows that the churches rc- main strong in membership in the United States and there are denom- inations tn suit every religious dispo- . sition. .
