aspect to a very minor suggestion which he had made, and had refused to even consider it. Would the directors appointed'\under the legis- lation before ‘the House, depending every three years for re-appointmiit upon having earned the goodwill of the party in power, have a similar independence? Mr. BeNNe'i"r argued that they would not, and contended that the measure could only result in the Railway once more becoming

Shameful Dismissals

swinging the political axe, the victims on this occasion being two of the most capable officials in the public service. We refer to Mr. JAMES Ron1soN, retail vendor, and Mr. IRVINE MAC- LAREN, superintendent of old Age Pensions. ---Both these officials are retlifned S0ldlC1"S and have performed their duties in such a manner as to give the highest satisfaction to all concern- ed. Neither of them has taken any active part in politics; their sole offense, presumably, be- ing the fact that they were appointed under Con- servative administration. Mr. 1\lACLAREN, who won a. Military Cross in the War, took office on the introduction of Old Age Pensions in this 2 province: he performed the initial survey work and brought order out of chaos in establishing the system on .1 working basis. Prominent Liberals as well as Conservatives have expressed the hope and belief that the services of these deserving public servants would be retained. The Govern- ment, in ignoring public opinion in this regard and playing politics with these appointments, has acted in a manner altogether inexcusable.

Not even the common courtesy of notifica- tion of their dismissal was accorded these men, before announcement of the appointment of their successors appeared in the Government press.

The qualifications of the new appointees, Mr. VICTOR Co\'Lr«:, Charlottetown, as vendor and Mr. OTTO CAMPBELL, \Vinsloe, as pensions superintendent, is a matter which is not in ques- tion here. Neither is the fact that they also are returned soldiers. The Canadian Legion, in a resolution adopted some time ago, requested the Government that no returned man be dismissed without just cause, even for the purpose of fill- ing his job with another returned man who might happen to have greater political pull. The wishes of the returned soldiers‘ organization in 3 this case, therefore, have been ignored, notwith- standing the Liberal pre-election guarantee of “justice” and “fair treatment” to all such men. "Such fair treatment,” said Premier CAMPBELL 7-“in his election manifesto, “is only their due, and

it is also suggested that one or more members of the Legislature might be appointed with the special duty of receiving communications from

zlli.-. i

llllllkr: zllillli-' ..llhil‘.i.

organizations of returned soldiers and present-

; »_ing their requests to the Government.”

A How, it may be asked, has this latter assur- ance been implemented? Have the Canadian Legion been given an opportunity of expressing

‘.their views on these dismissals to one or more ‘Liberal members for presentation before the Government? If not, then it is quite evident that the Liberal election policy, so far at least as returned soldiers are concenied, was simply ' 3 callously perpetrated hoax.

MIND OVII MATTE!

There was a time when the phy- slclan was interested only in what. he discovered when he made his ex- amlnnt.lon—murinurc tn the heart. rales (rattling nolcec tn the lungs), crcaklna in ‘joints, sugar or albu- men in urine and other flndlncc. The patient was naked a few gen- eral questions. The patlsntls home me or surmundlnu, the way he re- acted or responded to trouble or dif- tlcultles. the calmness or upactment of his mlnd weer not considered a vital part of the cause or treatment of ma oondltlon.

To-day practically every physician rccognlua the power of mlnd over matter, and there .15 no _ falth healer anywhere than the competent beloved family physician.

Thus we find that psychology- thc actenco of the mlnd and the emotlons—l.s not only being uaed in paychlatry—trentlng the dlaeaaes of the mind, but psychology is being used to treat and to prevent diseases of the body: this la called psycho- therapy. Therapy means the method or means of curing and psycho the mlnd.

‘Formerly psycboloffy was taught

in colleges and universities, not in medical schools. because it was the study of the mlnd and the way it works. To-day wlillc every thought- ful physician practlaes psychology in treating patients lt was not one of the subjects taught him in medl- cal college. It has been known for some time that mental suggestions —— psycho- tliera.py—can actually correct troub- les tn the body and prevent, real or organlc allme ‘ from developing. It has more recently become known through Prof. Cannon of Harvard and Dr. Geo. Crtle, Cleveland, that organic disease can actually be de- veloped in the body by wrong or in- correct thlnklng.

Thinking inwardly, having a phobla—fear-—toward an ailment or allments, can so affect. the workings of the body processes that actual dlseaae occurs.

The lesson to ua all ls plain. We should try not to worry or be afraid of an ailment but go to the family physician, become instructed as to the best method of treatment if an ailment. is present, or dismiss ll; l'rom our mlnd if there is no all- ment.

It should be remembered how-

(from teeth, tonsils, intestine or elsewhere) can in turn affect our mlnds, so that matter can at times then have power over mlnd.

Japan And Germany

(Vancouver Province)

Rumors get aflont perststently of 9. possible alliance of Germany and Japan against Russia. The two nations are strategically situat- ed for an alliance-—one of the west of Russia and the other to the southeast. And neither makes much secret of the fact that it is afrald of the Russian bear.

But. it may be said that there la a spiritual llnk be- tween Germany and Japan. _The old Prussian knight were fighting men before they were anything else. just. as the Japanese samurai were. and ft is not forgotten that when Japan sought 9. new system of government. when she decided to westcmtme herself, it was in Prussia that her envoys found the system that they thought would best suit the Japanese people.
