WHERE PROTECTION IS NEEDED

The past year has shown gratify- ing results in the operations of the steel plant at Sydney. N. S. It has also shown some of the handl- caps against which this magnificent plant is operating. Figures recent- ly issued show that the plant has been worked to 91.6 of its capacity; that ready sale was available for all the product as soon as it was ready

for market. and that the operating’

expenses have been reduced, reflect- ing in some imtanoes economies in production amounting to 20. 30 and even 35 per cont in the last two years. Yet, notwithstanding these gratifying revelations. not a. dollar of dividend will be forthcoming from the year's operation-not a dollar of interest to the real owners of the plnntp-the shareholders whose mil- lions have made the plant. possible.

Evidently no fault can be found with the maxiagemen‘ The plant has been operated to within 2 1-2 per cent of its capacity for the whole year, and there was no trouble in disposing of its product. What then was the trouble? The answer is may. “ Products of similar con- cerns ln the United States have been throvm into competition with those of the Sydney steel plant, with the result that the prices of ‘the latter were forced down to a figure winch leaves no margin of prom. Thc American product llﬂs been admitted into Canada m. so low a tariff as lo

This matter has been threshed out 1'9;- wveral years. The remedy has been pointed out, boards of trade and business men have shown the neces- sity of providing protection for the Canadian product; but the protec- tion, for reasons best known to those who have control of the mmns of premium. has been withheld.

The fato (If the steel works at Sydney is in the balauoo. The end of the whole industrial corporation is in sight, unless means are provided for keeping it alive. The people are becoming alive to the importance of protecting our local industries, and the remedy will in all probability be applied in the near future. Many other Canadian industries are in the same plight as thesydnley steel walks, and for similar reasons. The rem- edy is protection; and unless there is a change at Ottawa that remedy wlilnotbeapplied. lItis timoior a change at Ottawa.

DEMOCRACY

That the democratic form of gov- ernment has not measured up to the ideals of those who foulxht for and

" obtained a measure of government.

of the people, by the people, will be frankly admitted, The fatilt, how- ever, lies not. with the form of gov- ernment but with the democracy it- self. j Democratic govemlnolit has had a long history, beginning with the small city-states of Greece and reaching its zenith in ancient times in the 5th Century, B. C., under Per- icles. In the time. of Aristotle. the democratic form of government had degenerated to ullilit hc called mob- rllle, and since that time it has wax- ed and waned. Since Aristotle's day the word has rcsulned its nat- llfkli meaning. bui. democracy in n10- dcrn times is a very different thing from what it was in its best days in Greece and Rome.

Ideal democracy today, if we had such, would mean the selection by the 17801116 oi‘ their best men or their best women, for the purpose of gov- erning and making the laws of the country. Unfortunately we have de- parted from this ideal method, if in fact it ever existed. ‘The tendency is in select for office, not the nlan who is best fitted for that position, but the best vote catcher. Cultiva- tion, experience. honor and intellect- ual superiority are boo often unas- sential qualiﬁcations in a. candidate. They neither help nor hinder him in his political struggle. What he needs above all is popularity. self- Bpnreciation, audacity, and fluency of speech. As popularity is usually only won by those who promote or appear to promote the public wel- fare, he beains to work for the in.- terests of the public or pretends to do so. He must not be modest. He must be ready to dissemble. for he is obliged to assume friendly interest in certain men who, if not repug- nant to him, are certainly indiffer- ent. He must make hundreds of promises that he knows beforehand he will not be able to fulfill. He must loam how to assume and play upon the lower , dons and aspira- tions and upon the prejudices ‘of the public. Such a figure in a novel would never arouse the sympathetic affection of the reader. But in ‘real life the same reader casts his vote for him every time.

Notwithstanding its many faults, democracy has Pl ‘uocd real states- men: but until it purges itself of its obvious faults popular ‘government will continue to fall far short of the ideal. ‘rheaolution, of course, lies in the education of the people. We mult learn to do ollr own thinking. Otherwise we shall continue to be at the memy of those whose first con- cern is their ow-n interests. and who have come to regard politics not u a public duty. but as a private map.

London this week. will favor large administrative reforms in the direc- tion of democratic methdds. even if these changes involve the deposition of the present executive head. Gen- eral Brill-dwell Booth. which may be effected by a three-fourths’ vote. The questions at issue, it is pointed out. relate entirely to administration, and not in any sense to doctrine. method or field vrork.

An exchange points out that re- organization in the Army may be cal‘- ried too far. By its genuine zeal, its good works. its fraternal attitude io- ward all religious denominations, its noble nlinistrations to‘the weakest lmd most needy of the race, the Sal- vation Army has won the respect and admiration of the whole world. The danger ls that this xvell-meritai prestige may suggest ambitious plans to the reformers for whom Miss Evangeline Booth speaks, and may prompt them to lay the basis of a newly-organized Church-dignified. proper, orderly and ineffective. 'l'he late William Booth, founder of the organization, left the Wesleyan Church because itwefused to coun- tenance his field preaching; and it Vm believed that the Army cannot give up the work it hos been- doing in‘ this direction without seriously impairing its usefulness as a world factor in social and spiritual legen- oration.

An analysis of the death rate in the United States for 1928. from fig- ures compiled by the Life Presidents Association through the co-operatlon of fifty-two leading life insurance companies. shows a. net increase over ' the 1927 death rate of 38.1 per 100.- 000. Decreases were noted in deaths from tuberculosis. typhoid fever. Bright's disease, diarrhoea. and en- teritis, whooping cough, diphtheria. puerperal state. homicides and scar- let fever. There were increases in deaths from pneumonia, organic dis- eases of the heart, influenza, cere- bral helnlnorhalre. cancer, measles, meningitis, isuicide and automobile accidents. ‘

Thc favorable trend in ihe death rau- from tuberculosis (75.5 per 100,- 000 lll i928 as against 77.8 per 100.000 in 1027i indicates that, medical scieiwﬁ it; conquering this dread Clzicnsc, and we are told, that the death rate from this cause can still be mulerially re- duccd ‘within a very fcw years. and perhaps finally eliminated as one of the important causes of death. With more. universal application of mod~ em methods. Bright's disease. lwhicll shows a. decrease of l.l per 100,000» should be subject to better control as time goes on. It is noted that

- while there has been an increase of

.i per 100,000 in automobile fatalities, this figure really represents a con- siderable improvement in the pro- portion of deaths to the number of oppornmilies for pccidents incident to the rapid increase inthe number 10f cars on the road.

The nnfa able result: for pneu- monia, inﬂuenza, mid the majority of other causes showing an moi-eased death toll over i927 musi. be taken as temporary fluctuations and not ns indicating a general unfavorable trend. -However, heart disease and canoenhave been showing consistent increasing contributions to the death rate over a period of years. Heart disease takes its toll mainly after middle lilo. Roughly speaking. of each 100 dying during the year from heandisease25willbeunderi5 years of age and '15 will be age 55 or older. It may be contracted however, early in life. In fact, “or- ganic heart disease is so completely interwoven with all other causes of physical degeneracy that its inroads can be checked only through care- ful, persistent. intelligent physical care of each individual beginning at the moment of birth and extending throughout life.” ' -

(lancer presents ‘ the most disturbing situation, because of the persistent increase in the death rate from this cause. It is predicted that if the. present trend continues. can- cer will soon be responsible for more deaths than tuberculosis.

CALMINQ A VIOLENT PATENT A man. ovel- six feet tall and pow- crfully built, was brought to n men- ial liospltaiiied hand and foot. He showed every evidence of a struggle, and the foul" young men who brought him felt very, much re-

-licved when he was handed over to

the care of the institution. Thpy were pretty well battered up them- selves. The superintendent told the

young men that they could see i115. 5

patient in a few days and that he would be able to return to his home in a short time, that is within the time sufficient to build him up phy- slcully.

In three days the young men ro- turncd and saw this powerful and hitherto violent man walk quietly into the lroom accompanied lby a nurse about five feet in height.

The superintendent advised the young men that in future they were not to initiate the patient, and to be kind but firm in their everyday con- tact with hllu and they were not likely to have further trouble with

h.m.

What had the superintendent done to accomplish this apparent miracle? Simply lone continuous baths of three hours etch day. Now what is the effect of heat upon the nervous system? “‘

Dr. J. H. Kellooiz tells us that very short hot applications excite the brain. nerves. and nerve centres through impressions made on the skin. whereas nrolonved venom] hot onnlb-afinns elve rise to exhaustion of brain and spinal cord. Warm and hot applications lessen oeneral ner- vous senslbility to a remarkable de-

gree.

This will explain why there seem to be a fewindividuals to whom the hot both at night acts as a stimu- lant and they find themselves lin- able to sleep; they are very bright and alert after the bath.

So if you have not found that the llot both at niszht helos you to get off to sleep, try remainlnrz in the bath a little longer. and that feeling of lanszuor and tiredness will likely steal over you. ‘

Remember then that after ll tre-

mendous day of menial or physicinl ‘

effort instead of using a quieting drug. try the “prolonged hot bath.“
