As frct|tientl_v siatctl lu these columns many of our

fiirnicrs have contribiitf-tl liberally, aitd tis frequently liinlcd, some have rnntribiitcd dlsgraccfully or, more dis- grat-el'ully still. have contrlbtited nothing. We have our parasites here as elscwlicre, men who are content to ict others bear their burdens. men who are ii disgrace to their country and whom to he burdened with is a misfortune. These men are usually loudest in their advice as to what others should do anti insist the loudest on what they term their "rights" in the Book of Remembrance to be pith- llshed after the war, in which it is hoped to tell in dt-.tail how Prince Edward island paid its share of the price, there will be names which 'will make their posterity blush. Yet lor these. good men are dying in the trenches, and surfer- lng untold horrors. _

it is not expected that anything short of an invasion

make the Patriotic meeting, called for last Tuesday even- `ing, the failure that it_undoubtedly was. The weather was bad and there were other attractions. The failure ot' the meeting, notwitlistanding all this, was regrettable.

We do not for a moment attribute the absence of

citizens from the meeting to any desire to evade con- tributing to the t'ttiid. Our citizens generally are generous ami when solicited for contributions to any worthy cause are always ready to respond liberally but there is apparent- l_v ti deep rooted :iiitipatliy to attending meetings, It was, we presume, generally understood that the main ob- ject of thc meeting was to present a report as to _what was required of the people and to solicit subscriptions to the patriotic t`iiiid. Believing that they already' knew the need anti quite satisfied that any methods adopted would be satisfactory, they contented themselves with waiting for the collectors.

it would have been more satisfactory had the meet-

ing been well attended. A movement of this kind re- quires tlie entliusiasm that can be inspired only in the crowd and it is hoped that the :itljoiirned meeting will be hi-ld as soon as possible. There is much organization work to be done and the citizens should be present in force to approve of the arrangenicnts that may be con- eluded.

t Tlicrc is a good tical ot' comment on the fact that our military mon wcrc not pri-sent in force but citizens wlin were not present llicmselvcs can ill afford to throw stones in this direction. Ncvertlicless, it is to he regretted that our niilitary ` orguiiization has so tar deteriorated that ii small contingent was not available for parade at a patriotic met-ting. We suggest that when the next meeting is called the inilitztrv be asked to bc pre- sent lu ti body and in iiiiiforni. There' arc, wc believe, enough military men still left in thc City to make ti credit- able parade and their presence. would be an attraction and sin appropriate setting to a patriotic meeting. Bcsidc; this it is quitc possible that, as has been done in other cities, their services might be required as solicitors to canvas the city. The work ot' canvassing, ii' conducted in whirl- wind ftisliion, as is generally done, would be completed in ti day or two. The thing now is to get started and to start right. The patriotic i`iuid will shortly be needed. Otir sol- tiicrs arc, ii' not in active scrvicc, on their \vnfv"iiici'e and their families are to be looked itlter. There will in all u.'r,bal>ilily be willows :ind orphans who must he t-ui‘ei for and the time to prepare for this is now. The other funds are well iii hand. \\'c still owe for the patriotic fund, and the people are ready to pziy their share.

HEALTHY RELAXATION

A lioudon doctor advises not only his patients but

pcoplc gt-iierally to indulge in some light reading cvt-ry day in order to shake off the cloud of iiiclancliolia that threatens through constant dwelling on the horrors of war. _

There are few conditions that are utterly devoid of

liuniotir anti perhaps the one that comes nearest to absolute absciict-_ of this saving grace is war. Yet we read of the soldiers .cracking jokes in the trenches, amid the ruin ot' bullets and bursting shells, nlckuaniiug tht- most dcudly oi' thc cncmy's guns and hurling derisivc :Jiouts at thc poor inarksmanshlp of the guuners whose aim failed to carry death into their ranks.

And t.liis grim humour becomes contagious among

them, and sustains tlieutiu many a ilcry trial, although subdued and quenched often no doubt, when thc stern reality takes it companion or ai friend. But they liaxfc neither time nor place for seiitinientallsui.

Only a little less gruesome than thc actual conflict is

the constant perusal of the harrowing details of slaugliter of suffering, of inhuman cruelty and the over present fear as to the outcome. in the face ot' all this the London doc- tor‘s advice is timely. Coiiitiieiiting on the advice an ex- change says:

To 11 certain few a book of favorite poems has the

longed-for effect, A bracing walk docs thc work for others, and to all there should be much that is refreshing to mind and body in ottr bracing October air. We all have our pet luxuries. thc thing to which our thoughts ttirii instinctive- ly when we plan for a real treat. The plan should be to indulge in a hit of such luxury tit the present when we lit-ive got thc misconceived idea that because thc whole world is turned topsy-lurvy we are going to help adjust uiattcrs by kcepiug otir nerves strained to the lirettkiiig point and our minds troubled with the idea that to worry must be otir appointed recreation. Such notions are worse than ridiculous. If Tommy Atkins can play football and crack jokes in thc trenches. surely we can once more seek our favorite armchair. place our feet ut the moat comfort- able altitude and lose ourselves in the engrossing tlirllls of the latest "best seller."

Y . ' 5 ture. "l'liese"provlsions prohibit com- panies which have iiot .been incorpor- ated under the law of Province from taking proceedings in (‘ourt of the Province in respect of contract made within the Province in the course of their business, unless licensed under the Provincial (‘.omp:inies Act.. They also impose peiialtics on a company and its agents if, not having obtained a license, it or they carry on the company's business in the Province. The applicant was rcfusetl a license by the registrar, It was said that there ‘was already a. coinptiuy registered in the Province under the same name, and thc provincial .statute prohibits the grant of license in such a case. The question which has to be deter- mined is whether thc legislation of the Province which imposed these proliilnitioiis was valid under the Brit- ish l\ortli American _-\t-t. What their Lordships have to decide is whether it was competent for the Province to legislate so as lntcrtcrc with the car- rying on of business in thc Province ot' a Dominion t‘.ompany under the cir- cuiiistaiices stated. The distriliiitioi-. ot' powers uudcr thc llritish North Am- erica Act. said the Privy t‘ouucil. the iutt-_~i'prctation ct' which is raised by this appeal, has been often discussed before the .ltidicul ('onunittec and tribunals ot' (`:uinda. and certain prin- ciplcs :irc iio\v Well settled. The gcu- crul power coiitcrrt-tl on the Domin- ion by 91 to make laws for the peace ordcr and good government oi` Vaitatla, extends in tcruis only to mat- ters not coming within classes ot' sub- jects assigned hy the act exclusively legislatures of I’i°nvinccs, but il the subject matter falls within any of thc lieads of S. 92 it hctronies necessary to sec whether it also falls within any ol' the eniuuerated heads of S. 91 i'or if so, by thc concluding words ot' that section, it is excluded froiu t.hc pow- ers coiiferretl by S. 92.*.

Turniiu.; to thc appeal before thcm,

the first observation their liordi-iliips iiiakc is that thc powcr of a l’ro\'in- cial Loglslatiirc to make laws in rc- lzition to inattcrs coming within the class of stilijccts foruiing No, ll o|` S. 92, thc incorportitioii oi' cotiipiuiics with provincial objects cannot extend to a coiupauy such as the nppellaiit t-ompany, thc objects of wliich arc not provlclnl; nor is this tit-fcci of power aided by tlic_ power given by No, lil. property ititd civil rights. l'tilcss thesi- two in ads :irc read disjutictively thc limitation in No. ll would be uugatory, The c.\'pressioii “civil rights in the Province” is it very wide one, extend- ing if interpreted literally. to much of the ficld ot' other heads of S. 92, and also to much of the iicld of S. 91, but the expression cannot be so iiiterpre- ted, and it must be regarded as cx- clutliug t-uses expressly dealt with elscwlicre in the two sections, uct- \vithstniitliiig thc generality of the words. if this be so, llicii the power of lcgislating wlili reference to the incorporation of companies with oth- cr than provincial ob- jects must hclong ex- clusively to the Dominion Parlianient, for thc mattcr is one not coming with- in the classes of subjects assigned ex- rliisivcly to legislatures of Provinces within the iueatilitg of tho lnitinl words of S. 91, and uia_\‘ be properly regarded as ti matter iiliectlng thc Ilominion gt-iicrally, and covered by the expression “the peace, order. und good governiucnl of ('aiizidn."

lt follows f`roin these prt-iniisos that

For these purposes the question is not one of eiiactment of laws cilcctiiig the general public in the Province, and relastiug to civil rights, or taxation, or the administra- tion oi' justice. it is in reiility whether the Province. and relating to civil statiis_and corporate capacity of a Do- minion compaiiy in so far as that status and capacity carries with it powers conferred by the Parliament ot' (liiiindu to carry on biisiuess in every part oi' the Doniiiilon.
