CURRENT COMMENT

This is tbe third of March and no intimation as to when the pro- vincial legislature will meet. Lib- erals were always lively in com- plaint and‘ bitterly attacked the late government for delaying this into the spring farming season. Was it on‘y their customary dis- charge of election wind, or do they in this one znstance intend to prac- tice as they preached’!

Where was the redoubtaiiale Hon. George E. Hughes during all these long months? The Asylum was one oi‘ his pct hobby horses in -parlia- men-t. Bold as a lion he ‘woulrl jump into the arena to make all kinds of charges, and then, when investigation proved the charges ‘to be totally unfounded. apologize to the hous.» and sit down as meek as a lamb. Has he too been a. par- ty to this six months neglect 0i‘ o! intolersible conditions, which those unfortunate words oi‘ the

government have been subjected lo?

We heard much on tiuiisporiiii- ion from Piemicr Bell, on the floor of the house on the election stump. and in his voluminous nianifmito. l: is said that this weighty (2') document was the matured conic of u solemn conclavo of tho whole piriy. it is even whispered that, he reported to political friends nt Ottawa, that it was useless to attack the Aissenault Government on its record, and their only chance oi success was t0 light them on Dominion issurs. And transporta- [iou was a lending plank. What has he or his party done for thig scr- vice If it were not for our Board's of 'I‘mde rind Mr. Donald Nichol son, M.

‘Douglas King's true greatness; than the fact set out in the introduction ‘by Marshal Foch as follows: "Was it not the insight of an experien- ced and enlightened commander which led him (Sir Douglas Haig) to intervene as he did with his own Government on the 24th of Maren, 1918, and with the Allied Govern- ments assem/blcil in Doullcns on the 26th to the end that. the French and British armies might at once be placed under single command, even though his personal positdor should thereby suffer?" To apprec- iate this ac: of wonderful mngnan- imity one nccds to remember that,

'as the dcspatches show, the i917 (rampaign went astray apparently through French inﬂuence, when Nivello succeeded Joffre.

DIORE RE FORM.

This is emphatically an age of reform and we have 1t dished out to us in all manner of ways, from

all manner of sources and for all manner of reasons.

"of the age and the general liability to excess; The l latest reform is that instituted by certain women’s ‘ organizations both in the United States and Canada

for the standardization of women's dress. One idea is

that “business women” should wear a uniform style

of dress and the style suggested is a black dress with l White collar and cuffs. The “reason annexed” to ‘ this suggestion is that it will do away with the pres- , entextravagant following of each other into all kinds ' Of excesses in dress.

The reasons are sound but, like many other reasons, insufficient. When a young lady of the pres- ent day undertakes to earn her living, and many of them do, she is not going t0 wear a uniform that will proclaim to the world that she belongs to the working class. The young lady of today, when she appears on the street, whether she be a domestic or the “right hand man" in a store or office is “monarch-of all she surveys” and is not supposed to be distinguishable from a duchess or a millionaire in her own right, and no mere man can classify ‘her either.

The suggestion for this reform, fortunately comes from women and it is no doubt well meant but we predict for it that it will never go further than the suggestion.

Another suggestion comes from a clegyman for reform in women’s dress. He is protesting against what he calls the “growing excess of nudity.” This of course is serious and also, no doubt, wcll meant, but if the fashions call for still further excesses in this direction we have no doubt they will continue-per-

haps until the law intervenes. No one has yet inti-

mated whcrc the fashions originate but, no matter Syithat their soucc, the women will follow them un- flinchingly and at any cost and the mere men will admire them only as they conform to the latest. We have little faith in the success of either reform.

THE MAN 'l‘Il.-\'l‘ “'18 MBA .\"l‘

In the controversy over the Falconwood affair the Patriot likened the Guardian's search for the Commission’s report to the hero in one of Captain Marryatt’s novels “Japhet in Search of a Father,” spelling the word “Japheth.” In its yesterdays issue it declares this spelling correct, according to the

‘ scriptures. Japheth, it will be remembered, was one of the two sons who discovered the nakedness of a

. certain individual (Gen. 9:23). as the Guardian dis-

‘i covered the nakedness of the Patriot and the Bell government in the Falconwood affair. The Patriot has evidently not searched the scriptures in vain. .We trust repentance and reform will followits con- fession.
