“Know rllilsl~:l.r” . 1'

The first requisite, before improvement or advance-

ment is possible, is to definitely find out existing condi- tions. in other words. to know ourselves. -

In the social survey recently instituted in Charlotte-

town and the findings of which are now bein! D“b“3h°d- this principle has been recognized. An effort has belt!! made to find out what things and what conditions are ad- visable to retain, and what to discard; what things and conditions may be substituted for present ones, to the ma- terial and moral interest of the city and the citizens.

Similarly there has been a stock taking in connection

with the forward movement in education and agriculture. We note among our local news items to-day that the Dia- trlct Representatives are undertaking a. pure-bred live stock survey in Prince and King‘s Counties. This will _fill a. long-felt want. When the work undertaken has been completed our farmers will know authoritatively and de- finitely where they can procure animals of the type and

breeding required and they will be able to secure from one another animals which, heretofore, they were obliged to seek outside the province.

We need more of this survey work. We need it in

every department. A ,forceful example has been given by -the Agricultural Department in the organization work done hy the Egg Circle Movement. Until the poultry business became sufficiently organized to be recognized as a. “De- partment" the value of the hitherto obscure hen had not' dawned upon us. Now every farm has its Poultry Depart- ment and it is found to be one of the most profitable on the farm. ’

There are many other departments of farm work of

which we require to know more than we do and, fortunate- ly, the work that is being done by the Agricultural De- partment is at present largely along foundational lines. We arc beginning to know ourselves, to find ourselves and, hav- ing done so, we shall be in a position to move forward.

The thing now is to put ourselves in line with the'

survey,1with the foundation-laying, with the forward move- ment. We need to know ourselves, to know the things we are losing time over, the things we are carrying at a dis- advantage and that it will be profitable to lay aside. In our schools, in our stores. on our farms, we are stock taking with it view to greater progress, and progress on these conditions ls assured. _

A few years ago in the United States, it will be‘remem-

bered. the Country Life Commission instituted by Theodore Roosevelt with a view to ascertaining conditions through- out the country, made astounding discoveries as _to whate- ful, insanitary, and unprofitable methods on the farms and the discovery led to a distinct forward movement. Cornell University has for years conducted an investigation into farming conditions with ii view to ascertaining what lines are or are not profitable, what farms actually pay and why _they pay. Through this source farming in the United States has been revolutionized. Similar results can be secured here if only we take heed to the stock-taking now

in progress and place ourselves in line with the forward movement.

The hoax perpetrated upon the United States Govern-

ment by a German who impersonated Dr Anton Meyer Gerhardt, German Red Cross lecturer, reported in yester- day’s Guardian, will be regarded by many as clever. And fit was élever. lt was a. clevemess, however, that is quite common among criminals, among sneak thieves. among murderers. a cleverness that requires a talent for lying and deceit. that has no regard for truth or honour. He "got away with it." as so many clever thieves succeed in doing, and as so many forgers and burglars have done. And it appears to be a pre-eminently German characteristic.. lt is the talent that has made the German submarine operator successful while he has failed _as a fair fighter in the

alley and stabs his victim in the dark is an artist of this stripe. If sufficiently talented in his line he may succeeded in getting several victims before he is finally rounded up. it is greatly to be regretted that the German *|10 8° successfully played the spy iii me uiiitsri states. and his accomplice. Von Bernstorff. had not been detected in their espionage--for one was as guilty as the 0ther~and_ both shot ps the law provides. Regrettably they escaped., What/-information they succeeded in securing- relative to munltloo factories. fortifications. etc.. will not be known '"1"' the xovernment chooses t6"di'vuTge it.

An estimate puts the I<‘rench,lossee_in, the war_ atf3§0,000

killed, 700,000 wounded and 230,000 missing or prisoners. `Not much lshaid outside of- France about what the French

gested by tl1e_above figures, is evidence of what it is doing?

The Toronto, News_:A, “Sir Robert Borden has torn the

atrangling hands of the grafter and the middleman from the throat of Canada. The Dominion has waited long for `tlie ‘appearnnce of a public man with the courage to put the welfare _of thecountry above every other consideration. Now that she has discovered him she is not likely to let him relinquish his task for many years to come."

The sons of Italy are going home to tight.. The military

law of their natlonls relentless on this point. Italy's sons of military age, wherever they are. must answer the call of the Fatherlaud or for ever relinquish the hope of setting foot again o_n italian soil. industrial communities will see one result of the exodus in labour market conditions. -Boston Globe.

Mr. W. J. Bryan is something ofa philosopher. He

will take with serenity the shower of abuse that follows his retirement from oflice, and apply once more to himself the story he telI.s'»so well of the man who having been thrice thrown out of a dance hall because he was inebriate, looked up at_ the windows after his final election and re- niarited with dignity: "i know whatsa-matter; they don’t want' me in there."

--__._l_.

While Mr. Bryan was writing his seductive letter, Mr.

Herman Ridder, editor of The Staats-Zeltung, was also ap- pealing to German-Americans. The Ridder letter reads:

"K close canvass of citizens of German descent has re- v led the fact that you are of German blood, and we want Y§r`acknowledgment so that we may enroll your Home among the faithful sons of the Fatherland who may be depended upon to defend its rights and its position should- it be necessary to do so in the possible clash between Ger- many and the United States." in any other country this communication would be regarded as treason against the ‘flag and the State.

lt is evident that there is another force pressing in the,

same direction-and that is the desire for full self-- government on the part of the Dominloiis. They have been committed to war by the act of the British Government, and they have given the lives of their sons and the re- sources of their citizens for the common cause with hot less alacrlty than the British people. But they will never do it again. It is incredible that 15 millions of the most civilised men will continue to forego the very essence of selbgovernment-the control of the policy which makes for peace or war--when they -realise how much the present war is due to the exlgencles of party strife-in England, and the inadequacy of the machinery 'of government of the Empire. They will discover that the autonomy which they 'possess is it sham so long- as ~t-he essential attribute of

sovereignty-control of the issues of peace and wer--ls concentrated at Westmlnster1_"_a_Hd_ ’;they"wil1isay2_'whii_t_ 8_r _ Robert porden has already aajd. that the c‘oi_iiiti_o_xi_ control `
