_While expressing sympathy with Mr. G. D. f-Vright on his release from the office of Chief Mag- istrateof the City of Charlottetown, a position which he filled with becoming dignityand general satis- faction, we congratulate Mr. D. J. Riley on his elec- tion and feel quite sure he will worthily fill the iin- portant post entrusted to him by the majority of the electors. ,

The return of practically the whole council en bloc is a ‘tribute to the administration of the past two years, an evidence of approval on the part of the citi- zens and an- augury of similar elﬁciency and pro- gressiveness in the future- There was no question of. outstanding importance or of diverse policies at stake and the fact that there were no contests for the council in two of the wards is in itself a virtual endorsation of the late administration. This also no doubt accounts for the fact that the total vote was less by some two hundred than in the last elec- tion although there has been a considerable addition to the voting strength of t'he city since then.

, Many and diverse are the viewsbeing expressed regarding the fall in the rate of exchange and on the high cost of living. When all is said and repeated there is but one single explanation and one single remedy. For nearly five years Britain and the Brit- ish Empire have been living on borrowed money, money that was used, not for production but for des- truction. To replace this (iestroyed capital the gold standard was temporarily removed and a paper cur- rency substituted. This was not done by legal enact-

ment but the government permitted a larger per-

‘ centage of paper circulation than authorized by the respective Bank Acts.

The money thus borrowed and expended must be made good and the only way to replace it is by increasing production and selling the surplus to for- eign nations. From the surplus produced revenue may be derived in the form of taxation for the main- tenance of government. The first step towards the re-establishnient of the gold standard and a sound rateof exchange is the curtailment of government expenditure and the making of government revenue

» and expenditure meet. The distribution of govern-

ment funds in the form of bureaus, unemployment relief and such like tends to enhance the difficulties of the situation. Money given for doing nothing or next to nothing is the worst form of economics. On- ly productive expenditure helps a nation and not un- til we get back to the pre-war state of every man being supposed to earn his living by the sweat of his brow or the genius of his mind can we hope to re-establish finances on a sound basis and reduce the high cost of living.

In the stress and strain of war recourse has

been had to the taxation of capital, and by capitall

we mean the money invested in business. This has taken the form of excess profits tax and now “taxa- tion that falls on the income from capital tends to check both the accumulation and the employment

of capital. Of course under certain conditions (such

as prevailed in some, and perhaps most, industries in the present war) there may be large elements due to partial monopoly or exceptional demand. There maybe what economists call quasi-rents and, as Adam Smith observed, the gains of monopolists, Whenever they can be come at, are of all subjects the most proper for taxation.” i ,

But if the special taxation strikes‘ at the fair re- ward of enterprise and management then both the amount and the productivcness of the national cap- ital are injured. A similar argument applies to labor but as the tendency is to make labor tax free this may not be taken into consideration-except to note that the taxation on capital will indirectly affect the wages of labor and so far tend to lessen the produc- tive power- It is the duty therefore of the govern- ment to remove as speedily as possible restraints to production and to begin to economize in order to make revenue and expenditure meet, for thereby will the first step be taken towards stabilizing ex- change and reducing the high cost of living.

The Year Book of the United Baptists of the Maritime Provinces for 1919 has just been received. A full report is given of the seventy-fourth annual convention," held in Woodstock, N. B., 1n October giv- ing the usual detailed information regarding the work of the denomination throughout the provinces. the delegates present and the names-of ordained ministers in the jurisdiction. _ _

Interesting statistics are given showing the growth of the denomination. ' In 1848 there were 88 ordained Baptist ministers in the Maritime Provinc- es, 173 churches and a church membership of 14,- 142. In 1919 the number of ministers at the conven- tion was 284; 586 churches were represented with a church membership of 62,268. The growth of the denomination has been continuous.

Interesting information is also given concern- ing Acadia University and Acadia Ladies’ Seminary- The Home and Foreign Missionary work of the church is also given in detail as is also that of the various women’s organizations. .

Only For Those Who Want loltive Long

Do you want to live long? Because

if you do you can find out how by

reading the following article. Or If you happen to be too busy, or you

bought at the price, the information

can be conveyed In iwo sentences:

Don't worry. Be moderate In every-

thing. This la said on the authority

of Dr. George L. Meyliin, director of the Columbia University gym- nasium, who has made a long study

of the subject, and who is well

qualiﬁed to speak wllh knowledge.

He points- out that it may not be to

the advantage of the race ihat long

life should become the rule instead

of the exception, for living long

means slowing up. The man who

sets before himself the determin- ation to shatter records for long~ oviu; is not likely to shatter rec-

ords for Industry or other achieve- ments. Ills ﬁrst idea will be to lake cairo- of hisihcalth. and anyone with

this burden on his mind wlll no! have n great dual v cf energy or thought l0 expend in other dir- ections. For one thing he must div- est himself of ambition, for ambi- tion is. likely to mean worry and ovi-rivork, and these are the two things to be particularly avoided.

One Natural Death

l)r. hlcylan gives; as an example the only case of a mun he know who died from causes that were prrfvclly‘ nulurnl, from the normal wearing out of the m-ichlncry that kceps a min alive. 'I‘hls was Heze- kiah Lombard, who _was ninety-sev- cn years old. As a-young mun he woﬂwd huril al lumbering, and us. ho grew older took lo farming. working not sojard, und as he got into the seventies did notdo much but farming. By the time ho was ninety he merely dld a llt-tle hoelng

divided that nobody can expect anyl body also to take anybody’; asser- tion as ﬂnal. Another egamplo of longevity due to moderation Is af- forded by Dr. Charles W. illllot. president emeritus of Harvard, now almost eighty-five years old. Dr. Meylan met him at a dinner a short time ago when he was In perfect health and full vigor. "Moderation ls everything." was Dr. Eliot's ex- planation, but Dr. Meylan adds that any professor at Harvard who tried to duplicate Dr. Eliot's work- ing average ‘would have killed him- self In three years. A third case that came under his own observa-

Jion was lhai of two professors of

mathemnics working side by side In the same university. They were apparently equnlly healthy. One would give his pupils the marks he thought they deserved and dismiss the examinations from his mlnd. The other would worn; over every student who felled to come up to the standard. The worrying prof- essor dled at the age of ﬁfty-ﬁve The other is llvlng and blds fair to rench a venerable age.

You Should Not Worry

Worry. in the view of this expert, is on the whole ‘I greiiioi" Yloe to long life than iuimodoration. The con- scientious inn.n worries about his work. and this may be good for the- work, but is not‘ good for the work- ur. The ambitious man worries about his prnspcctl, and ls likely n1- so to Mfr-work himself. So he is burning the candle at both ends, al- though hc may leave an estate. ihat will relieve his heirs from the ncc- esslty of worrying. Worry or any powerful emotion acts upon thc bod- ily organs, and particularly upon the digestive orgmm as directly as :1 drug. Fowexrunplc, ll‘l anyone out lllllllPF when he ls intensely zingry and he will (‘Bflﬂlllly have ln- digosllon. Tho oh] yiroverb olmir, the stalled ox and the dinner of herbs ls medicnll-y accurate. Worry

ln the garden and cut wood. Later on he dropped the hoelmz and out wood alone. Then he (reused lo cut

wood and would meroly- pickup the chlps. For the last ycnr he did not even pick up chips. The day he dldd Dr. lvlnylnn asked him If he felt sick, for contrary fn his llfo- long custom, he was not up and about in the morning. "No," he re- plied, "just klnd of lazy." Dr. hlcy- lan examlncd hlin and ‘found ‘that

hls circulation had stopped In his extremities, ‘and he died that after- noon without ‘paln of any kind. His llfo was the essence of moderation, except that he neither smoked nor drank. His brothnr, who lived to be nluely- three, smoked and drank moderately for some eighty years. I-lczeklnlrs son, aired seventy, who built two log houses with ills own hnnds lost summer, has been a moderate smoker and drinker all his life.

The Vex¢d ‘Question

As regards smoking and drinking Dr. Meylan says that the evidence ls evenly balanced. Moderation In either or both wlll have little or no effect upon longevity. Excelslve smoking or excessive drinking wlll shorten it-miink‘. (lays, even though they may. as Tom lrloorc suggests lengthen his nights. But this is a question upon which opinion now- adays is so sharply, even ‘bitterly.
