the present -summer many visit- abroad have spent their holidays

been heard on our pleasant climate fishing, boating and bathing privileg-

there is still something to be desir-

of our roads are as good as are to generally in the country districts

our sister provinces and visitors from other provinces have frankly admitted , in fact they have gone much further,

f them declaring our country roads

better than those in New Bruns-, Nova Scotia. But this is by no

true of all our roads; some ol’ them

still far from satisfactory and now, autos running daily over them all, the

are more noticeable and very much

freely commented upon. , ' While it is true that in some sections of

province the making and maintenance roads is naturally more difficult than in

it is alisotrue that in many cases

roads in the difficult sections are as as those in the more highly favoured

and vice versa. The making and ce of the roads, therefore, does

depend upon natural conditions, but those whose business it is to make maintain them. Many roadmasters overcome very serious difiiculties and giving the utmost satisfaction. Others not even availed themselves of the

advantages and their roads are,

rom this it may be inferred that goo(

It is often difiicult to find in a edm- unity a capable man who,is willing to ,,undertak~e'the work of looking after the roads. When he is found he should receive -_the hearty support of the neighborhood as féfgood roads are an inestimable asset to any Qcommunity. Even the man who does not ,profess to be a heaven born roadmaker, if ij-hei_has a good healthy community senti- pf-,ment and .co-operation behind him, can do ,fgyaijders in the maintenance of roads. One

the great requisites is a healthy, pro- essive community sentiment and the od roads are sure to follow no matter nrt'-this-obstacles may be. With good roads the rule not the ex-

_This is but one instance of many that

might be quoted insisting upon a just and equitable disposition of the Kaiser. It is not an expression of blood thirstiness or of cruelty; it is simply a demand for justice and fair play, We read quite frequently of some poor, perhaps demented, creature being hanged for a murder for which there may or may not have been a provocative cause; we read of thugs,_ embezzlers, thieves, social sinners and other nonrdes- crip_t lawbreakers being given their des- erts on the scaffold, in jail or penitentiary ind we say the punishment is just _ and necessary for the protection of society.- :Iere is a man, a self-contained composite nurderer, thief, liar, and all the other vic-

Several juries ‘_n England have returned verdicts of wil- ;ul_ murdeir against him; Bryce’s report of- vicially proves him- guilty of every sin in 'ihe d_@C3l0g}l9_ and more; all civilization and all Christianity pronounce him guilty ieyond all human conception of guilt.

How to punish him adequately, or as

iearly adequately asweak human nature Eau go, should be deliberately considered ‘rom now to the 'end of the \var and the oest conclusion arrived at should be acted '1_pon promptly and without mercy.

LEARN SP.-\NISII

Hon. Dr. Cody has done well in decree-

ng that ,commencing next year, Spanish vill be taught in the commercial classes of he High _Schools and Collegiate Institutes if Ontario. It would be better to _itart earlier, but of course it will require :imc to _procure teachers qualified to give nstruction in the language. Spanish is the anguage of_South America, which is one if thepmost important commercial fields in ;he world. Canada should go after a share if the South American trade which Ger- nany has so largely forfeited. To do so to idvantage her industrial firms seeking to ‘ rntei' the field should be equipped with men rho know the language. In addition, the itudy of Spanish is desirable on the point . if culture. .

The Canadians are 130 miles from the

German border and 489 miles from Berlin. Cut the distances up in daily advances, and they don’t appear so far. Driving for- Ward at the rate of six miles a day the Canadians could, reach the German border in three months.

This is the message brought bv Sir Rob-

ert Borden to Canadians from their kins- men fighting in France and Flanders: “We have fought and have endured; and we will fi_.f'ht and endure to the end.

A- sixteen year old lad iiaiue-il Le

Blanc was arrested hero a night or two ago wlille ln the uct of robbing xi hardware and sporting goods store

on Sparks street. The young fellow was armed with aivrevolver and show- ed fight, exchanging shots with the ofllcers before lie was overpowered and placed behind ' the bars. His booty, which was found by the police ln the nlleyway where LeBlanc was operating, consisted largely of guns and revolvers. His manner of enter- ing the store was strictly along mov-_ ing picture lines, and bears out a statement he made to the pollco that he wus planning to write a movie play and was learning how to bur- glnrise stores ln a spectacular way so that he would be able to provide the thrills essential to the “putting ov- er" of n scenario of this description. LeBlanc also claimed to be the head of a society known as "The Block Robe Gang," which was fully equip- ped for a campaign of organized rob- bery, and whlcli had its code of signs passwoi'ds and grips.
