A Low Unto Themselves

Opposition to the Government Control bill in Nova scotia centres around the contention, voiced by Hon. Mr. Chisholm, Liberal leader in that Province, that the legislation is "iifl-Bfifllh and undemocratic" be- cause it delegates to a Commission powers that should be vested in the Governor-in-Council or the Legislat- ure. Ono can only wonder what Mr. Chisholm would have to say about the irresponsible manner in which the Prohibition Commission functions in this Province! During the budget debate, Dr. W. J. P. McMillan cited a payment of $1200 made by the Pro- hibition Colnmission to the Temper- ance Alliance, and asked if it were possible that this money had been paid for the purpose of electing the Saunders Government to power. No- body could tell him. The Govemment "had no control over the Prohibition countries." and apparently knew nothing and cared less about the manner in which it disposed of the public revenue. Another $5,000 was appropriated out oi the Commission's funds to pay for the expense of the liquor plebiscite last fall, and the Premier made a half-hearted attempt to show that this plebiscit was "part of the enforcement of the Act." But not even this excuse was advanced as a reason for paying the Temper- ance Alliance $1200. On-the face of it, the transaction was a glaring misappropriation of public funds. Ii it was used to elect the Saunders Government to power, it was bribery and corruption. This is a more ser- ious matter than the question oi Prohibition vs. Government Control; B115 ‘l2 t.- Saundcr: Gwernzrlent, the Prohibition uommisshn and the Temperance Alliance are content to let it rest there, we do not believe that the people of this Province will be so easily satisfied. A strict alc- counting of all the funds oi the Commission should be insisted upon. When quasi-political organizations once get their fingers into the public treasury, there is an end oi respon- sible government. ‘

The Yankee Touch

News despatches state that Aimee Semple McPherson, American “evan- gelist," has sailed with a following of about 12$ people for the Holy Land. Commenting on the incident, a writer in the Vancouver Province para- phrases Wordsworth to this effect:

"Not in entire iorgetfulness,

And not in utter nakedness,

But trailing clouds oi glory will she come

From Los Angeles, which is her home."

For it is announced with a blare oi trumpets that this amazing wom- an will ascend the great Pyramid and preach a sermon from the top of it to the assembled faithful. it has nev- erbeen done before.

"there was once," says the van- couver scribe, "a sermon preached from a mount by one who did not advertise. But the Pyramid is ev- en higher, and we can only hope that the performer will be able to mike herself heard.

"It is further noted that she will hold a prayer service and co - munion in the room reputed o have been the scene of the Lest Supper. If this spectacular woman had any of the true Christian spir- it, she would go alone and in a mood of very great humility and pray for herself in that room. rath- erthantrytogivesuch asacred place the reflected glory of her own Mien“. which it is obvious in the meanest intelligence she re- gards as for mom irnportint than that of Him whose gentleness and beaiity she has commercialism."

some kind o! legislation which wouldprevsot the exportation of mbrew product aelllle bloo- raemn and her gullible follow- ers would be welcomed in the intense: ofdeomoy eadrellglon. llphunkiosofibeflreotnopnsb- batsman allocating teeuitluod gplfiihliflbltihioflbleoomeo-

states in the Union, records 8,175.- ‘972 ballots, the results being: so: en- forcement, 915,681; for modification to permit wines and light beers. 951,475; for repeal, 1,808,828.

This vote, comments an Ottawa exchange, is by no means decisive. If it were possible to add modifica- tion votes to those for repeal, then opposition to the Eighteenth Amend- ment would be overwhelming. But, as the Literary Digest points out, it is quite possible that a number oi those who are declaring for modifi- cation would not vote for repeal, would, if they had to choose between voting "dry" and "wet," vote "dry." The Digest asslimes that the mod- ification column contains both dry and wet votes, and suggests that in order to reach a fair estimate oi how its poll is going, it ls desirable lo split the modification vote fifty-fifty be- tween modification and repeal. 'l‘his, when done, leaves the result: In fa- vor of enforcement, 1,391,419; for re- peal, 1,784,554‘.

This, it must be admitted, doesn't vastly improve the situation. But, adding the votes for modification to the votes for repeal does indicate an overwhelming majoritypi people dis- satisfied more or less with the pres- ent act, thus adding to the practical difficulties oi its enforcement.

Couldn't Fool the Cows i‘

Among the worries oi the Hon. W. M. Lea during the legislative session was "the little fellow from Middle- ton." Mr. Arserlault spoke in both the debates, and the department of the Minister of Agriculture came in for a good deal of good humored criti- elsm. For example, the Minister's boast that Falconwood Farm pro- ducedso much hay this year that some oi it bad to be sold was anal- yzed in the following fashion:

MR. ARSENAULT: Let us turn to the report of Falconwood Farm for the year 1927, when it was un- der Conservative administration. That year we had 123 acres of hay and we produced 210 tons. Last year you had 124 acres, and pro- duced 214 tons, or an acre more than we had, with an increased production of just four tons.

Notes By The Way

llr. Philip Snowden the other day proposed a new batch of taxes lmiillni-illk l0 03093300900 in excess of those of last year. Referring to this an exchange says:

"Such taxation, " in; m; diflicillties of British industry and the state of unemployment, is s11 bu; staggering. It is by long odds the heaviest taxation in the world. This, however, is the British way. Britain is the one nation in Europe that is paying her debts; paying without a whimper. Sending vest annual sums to the United States, unable to collect from her own debt- ors, meeting bills for unemployment and other social services that would paralyze thoordinary state, she is determined to tax her people to do it, to meet all her obligations and to reduce her debts."

The new Lady Senator, Mrs. Coir- ine Wilson, recently addressed a meeting of 800 women in Montreal, and the press haslgoue into ecstacies over the practical, hard-headed and business-like manner in which she did it. Her subject was soldiers’ pensions. "The whole speech," says an exchange, "was not only admir- able, it was a revelation. And the thing it most revealed was that, everything considered, the average woman politician is probably more practical and hard-headed and less sentimental and emotional than the average man. Indeed, we foreseethe day when crafty election workers, sizing up their crowds, will keep their practical talk for the ladies and reserve their purple passages and perorations for the sentimental and more muddle-headed mates."

During the last six years, some nineteen thousand Mennonites have entered Canada, settling chiefly in the western provinces. The largest settlement of them in Alberta of about four hundred families, is at Coaldale, near Iyethbridge, where they have taken irrigated lands and are practising mixed farming. They show eagerness to adopt Canadian customs and are willing to join their neighbors in community enterprises. They send their children to the pub- lic and high schools and at Coaldale one of their number‘ has been elect- ed to the school board. 3.". Satis- wan two Mennonite boys were gold medallists-in their classes. There is no illiteracy among them.

The excise duty on cigarettes made in Canada is double the similar tdx in the United States, the result being that millions are smuggled into Can- ada each year, while the number manufactured in this country is greatly reduced.

The agreements arrived at by the disarmament conference as reported will provide for a new‘ building of

HON. MR. LEA: what did you do with it? You didn't have any to sell.

MR. ARSENAULT: The next item shows what we did with it. We turned that hay into feed ior our cows, and we produced more milk. If you turn to page 2'1 of the i927 report you will find that we pro- duced 240,000 pounds of milk. You only produced 105,000 pounds last year; s, difference of practically 100,000 pounds.

HON. MR. LEA: Who put the cows there that produced that ‘ milk’!

MR. ARSENAULT: Well, if you put them there it must have been during the Bell regime, and the same cows must be there yet. what have you been doing to them? Is it possible that the cows, when they saw you coming back, felt so bad- ly and got so discouraged that they refused to give milk?

Hon. Mr. Lea subsided.

Editorial Notes

"Driver's heel" is the latest disease. and it is confined entirely to motor- ists. Rough roads, requiring constant working of pedals and controls, are I sponslble for this trouble, which can be very painful. It is~hoped that the Provincial Minister of Public works will make an eflort to prevent

In Mlmhwtcr. Jerusalem of Free Trade, and right from the platform of the Free Trade Hall, Stanley Baldwin, leader of the British Con servative party, predicted the doom of Free Trade. Not since the days of Pei-Wand Bright and Cobden ha- tllere ever been a time when the flag of Free Trade dropped so low in Bri- tain. It has been pulled down entire- ly by British Conservatives, is half- mast at best with Laborltes, and is being increasingly deserted by Lib- erals, Lloyd George, despite all his talk, is not a Free Trader. On that, as on most things, he has shown himself willing to compromise, and it is the same with many of his follow- ers. A few Liberals of the old Man- ohester School and a few doctrinaire economists still murmur the old in- cantstions that have done service since repeal of the Corn Laws, but the bulk of the younger men are more interested in the development of Empire trade than in the main- tenance of Free ‘Irade. What the outcome oi itail will be, time must _be left to disclose, but one thing is Isuro. It is that the old. lmgland of Free 'I'rede has passed away, and that Protection, declared b! Nsreeii to be "dead and damned," will in one form or another hereafter be the dominant new in British fiscal pol- My. l

B! Iuu. W Bo-uluoLD luoaa ABOUT MUCOUS corms

As you know the four letters ‘it is’ at the end of a word always means ‘inflamation of’ and so we have appendicitis, inflammation of the appendix, and. bronchitis, inflam- mation of the bronchial tubes.

And so when you see the word colitis you know it is an inflammation of the colon, the last part of the large intestine which holds the wastes until they are thrown out from the body. And when you see the name mucous colitis you know where the trouble is and its ture.

In mucous colitis the-intestine is very active in throwing out the wastes, and tough mu , in ‘breads and masses, is thrown out in these wastes.

Most cases are found in women. sometimes in those who have chronic indigestion, are melancholy by nature with tendency to constipation ,and also in those who are high strung, active, with a tendency to diarrhoea. They are usually much below weight, and as some one expresses it they often ‘quarrel’ with their food, until they reach a point where no food looks good to them, the blood becomes thin, and they havecolicky pains. Notwithstanding the fact that the intestine is so active with the passage oi so much mucous, there is usually no danger as for as life is concerned.

It is believed that the trouble is entirely in the nerves supplying the intestine. There are two sets of nerves, one set making the muscles contract and move contents along, and the other set preventing move- ment. However in certain nervous types where there has been shockLor emotional strain, in those who are depressed, and also in excitable or hysterical individuals, the nerves which make the muscular walls of in- testine contract ‘seem to be busier or stronger than the ones _ which pre- vent contraction, and so an excess of mucous from the intestinal surface ls thus manufactured. _ _Now you can understand thatii the douse is of nervous I' origin. the
