inscribed on the base: “I am oonscioiu oi having_ served England as ii she

MOI-E VBNIOTISM

The recent high-handed dismissal oi a New Brunswick postal super- intendent by Postmaster General Veniot indicates that that gentle- man has learnt nothing irom the drubbing he received in Parliament last session. His action m t... present instance is severely scored by the independent Journal oi Commerce. which in its issue oi Sept. 28, says:

"While the flags-ht instancs oi departmental i» bordination gnd gross neglect oi public duty, not to reier to a careless notion oi res- ponsibility in the handling oi public money in the case oi a. New Bruns- wick postai employee, Grifliths by name. were aired in the last. ses- sion oi parliament, apparently the Hon. Peter Vrniot is disposed guy. ther to violate the last estige oi Dublic decency by dismissing H. W. Woods. the postal superintendent, whose chlei oiience was that he en- deavored to see that Griffiths dig as little iniury as possible in his public disservice.

The aiiront to tho public w“. science has been so great that so valiant though reputable s, suppo ,,. er oi the federal government as the Monimi Transcript is demanding that this last oiience against public 1101168159 be speedily explained,"

Just ss iear, anxiety and worry are the ices oi digestion, health and hap- piness, these latter blessings arp pro- moted by cheer-minus, joy, and by laughter as well, in its Proper time and place.

It is well that our young people should be impressed with the iact that in the Mother Country there is more respect ior law and order than in era/y other country under the elm. '.i'hero is more veneration and respect ior the laws and icr all the human agencies ior their eniorement, irom the policeman up to the King him- self in Britain than there is in Canada, and much more than most other countries.

Politics In Manitoba

(Sydney Post.‘

Tho retirement oi Premier Bracken oi Manitoba is iorecast in a ddspatch iron-i Wismriipeg, which says that he will either become Commissioner ior his Rrovince alt Iondon, or accept an important administrative position with a large Westcm brokerage house. This is in accord with rumors to like ciiect which have been current ior some time. The Farmers’ Government oi’ Manitoba, shaken to its inunda- tions by the seven Sisters’ deal and weakened greatly in the constituencies has obtained a stay oi execution by alliance with the small but active Iroup oi Liberals in the Legislature. But bad as the situation was, it is no secret that Premier Bracken disliked the application oi such s remedy. l-Ie was opposed to any‘ merger oi his party with the Liberals or Conser- vatives. and it is well-known that when Hon. ‘n. o. McKenzie joined his Government last winter. Mr. Bracken insisted on his acceptance oi Progressive credentials and name as a condition oi his entry into the Cab- inst.

But the situation in Manitoba is such ithat the Government simply cannot continue to exist asa Farmers‘ Administration. Had it not been ior the backing it received irom the Liberal members during the hydro crisis, it, certainly could nc-t have weathered the storm. Premier Brack- en knew this as well as anyone else, but his judgement was that: it would have been better ior his Government l0 Io down with its flu/ZS flying than to be salvaged from poll 122.1 ship- wreck by a. compromise with its ior- mer political opponents. Nor was this position merely dictated to Mr, Bracken by considerations oi loity idealism. He know pcriectly well em a compromise with the Liberals could at best only prolong the liie oi his Government ior a couple oi sess-
