In this change the report oi the Duncan Commission played a part and it is gratifying to find that the reduction of freight rates has not only stimulated business there, but has also resulted in an increase of railway traffic so large that it has practically absorbed tho,loss of re- venue which might have been ex- pected.

Reference is also made in the scenic beauty and tourist attractions of I the Maritimes, and it is pointed‘ out that a few days ago one of the large Atlantic steamship companies bought three additional steamers for the ‘ purpose of developing passenger and ytourist business from New York and Boston with these Provinces.

"We hope that it will not turn out that the people of the United States show a greater interest in the Marl- times as a pleasure ground than do [our own people. "See Canada first" is as good a slogan as "Buy goods made in Canada." The tourist trade is profitable to any country and we can easily imagine that many of those who enjoy the scenic beauties oi the Maritimes will keep at least one eye open to the possibilities of doing business there."

reason why our drivel-s are in such a hurry.

. That erratic journal, the Beaver, says that Miss Agnes MacPhail is un- doubtedly the ‘iflrst" woman in Can- ada. She has not only shown that she could win a seat in Parliament but that she can keep it. Miss Mac- Phail was recently speaking in Tor- onto and touched upon the current saying that woman's place is the home. “I take lt," she said, “that a woman's place is any place she wants to be." ‘ She recited a list oi woman's wrongs that had not yet been right- ed. Women did not get equal pay for equal work. She did not get equal honor. Ii a woman in Canada mar- ries an alien she lost her citizenship. A woman could not establish a legal domicile for a divorce. The Supreme Court oi Canada had declared that a woman is not a "person." Man had always done his best to. suppress the superior type of woman who might rival him and refuse to obey him. “Through the ages man had chosen the soft, clinging, pliable klttenish type, which made it easy for him to hold the place his super- iority complex told him he should have. Men had twisted the views oi the Founder of Christianity as Saint Paul had done. until the Christian religion had taught for long centur- ies oi women's slavery that “man was made ior God's glory; but woman was made for the glory oi man." A . After all the "superiority complex" is by no means always on the mas- culine side oi the house and quite as well so. Miss MacPhair seems herself an example. How superior she is in her own mind to all the mere men who sit beside her in the House of Commons. In her Toronto speech she might have added to her list of wo- men's wrongs the fact that the wo- men voters oi Caiiada, who are the larger half of the voters. are almost wholly unrepresented in the House of Commons as well as in the Senate except by men. Would conditions be better if there were 125 women seat- ed in the Commons, 50 in the Senate and hali the judges in all the courts of the land were women? Miss Mac- Phail's logic leads to that wncluslo . Also a new Bible written by women will be required to be interpreted by women pastors and preachers. The world is not yet quite ready for all that.

Miss MacPhaiVs advent to Parlia- ment is as yet only an experiment. not yet fairly tried out. We would like to see more women in, Parlia- ment, and especially married women who have had experiences of which “the first lady in the land" knows nothing. In the British Parliament the experiment is being tried under more favorable conditions with wo- men, married and single, representing all parties. Conservatives. Liberal and Labor, with more promising re- sults than have yet been realized in Canada.

An Ottawa correspondent writes that some one will tell the House of hundreds of thousands of unemploy- ed in England. a vast area of vacant land in the Canadian West, and suggest that these be brought togeth- er-result wealth. He may not tell just where the land is or what would happen if we doubled the wheat pro- duction of the prairie country. would not prices be out so that the grain growers could hardly make a living. They say this year that they made barely the cost oi productloxpbut no profit. We know what happened with over production of ‘ ‘ s.

EXTORTION

Sin-There appears to be a pretty general inclination to “wink" at what the Bible says about extortion. Many act as if it is but a mild and pardonable oflence that happened to be accidentally listed among the dead ly sins. Many extort, and then flat- ter themselves that they are smart, shrewd business persons. They may even think that they are obeying the command to he "diligent in business."

Such persons make a terrible mis- take. It is no mitigation of the crime. for the victim to be able to pay the demand or to be ignorant of the value of the article sold. or work done.

I have heard others speak of even a greater difference between the home—prices and that of the mail order houses. It is hard to see how this is not extortion.
