"Expensive" Ia Right

"It is becoming the custom for

automobile spseders to ‘open her wide' on the Maclntyre high- way. Some of these lndiscreet drivers are having a gleeful time tearing along' at anywhere be- !/ween 00 and 70 miles per hour. There is a. thrill in flirting with disaster but when some one comes io grief and transfers to a. slow moving ambulance, thence to a wheel chair, perhaps to a hearse, the fun is expensive."-Patriot, June 25.

While the speeders are getting

their "fun" on the McIntyre speed-

way, our farmers and taxpayers gen~ erally are footing the bill. This piece

of roadway, less than a mile long. cost nearly $27,000. Half of this amount was paid under the Fed-

eral Governments unemployment

scheme; the other half comes out of the Pockets of the people of this Province. More work of the same

extravagant nature is being done on the already well gravelled St. Peters road without the approval or assistance of the Federal Gov-

ernment, and every farm in the

Province is being mortgaged to pay for lt. The speeders get their fun,

the taxpayers foot the bill.

So Bennett Was Right! ‘

The local Liberal organ, in its is-

sue of yesterday, gives prominence on its editorial page to the follow- ing despatch from Ottawa, show- ing how, under the splneless trade

policy of the Rt. Hon. W. L. Mac- kenzie King, the United States de- liberately set itself to keep out Canadian farm products to the dis- advantage of our farming commun- ity. No stronger argument could be

adduced in favor of the change of policy introduced by the Rt. Hon. B. B. Bennett:

"OTTAWA, June 22-How the

export trade from the farms of Canada to the United States has ahrivelled in the 'past decade is show in a comparative table issued by the Department of 'Ii-ade and Commerce. The table shows that in the eleven months ending May 81 last, farm products to the value of only $21,698,930 went to the United States from Canada where-

ls for the corresponding eleven

months In 1921 the total was $171,-

492,082. X

“The table also gives the tre-

mendous increases which have been made ln the United States

tariffs against these products in

the past ten years. The table con- tains 4.3 commodities under the

headings: animals, fruits, grains, grain products, meats, milk and

milk products, seeds, vegetables and miscellaneous products. Of the 43 vxport classes 26 entered United

ltates in 1921 free of duty, now Ill meet substantial tariffs.

"Live cattle for example went in

Iree then and now the duty is I 1-2 cents a pound under '100 lbs. and 3 cents a pound above that

weight. Sheep went in free and now the tariff is $3 a. head. Wheat went in free in 1921 and United

States bought in the eleven months

of that year $101,059,200 worth.

Now the duty is 42 cents a bushel'

and Canada's exports to United States of this cereal during the past eleven months was $6,540,424.

"Among the few increases in the

past eleven months as compared with 1921 was barley. The duty on this grain was only increased in the decade from 15 cents to 20 cents

a bushel and Canada exporfcd $230,382 in the last period and only 0420 ln the 1921 period. on the other hand the export businessin

rye has almost been wiped out. In the past eleven months Canada

What It Costs

The one-year moratorium on Wai' depts me reparations proposed by President Hoover will reduce Unit- ed States income approximately

$246,000,000 in the fiscal year be-

ginning July 1.

Other war debt payments for the

fiscal year are: France receives $201,541,020: nays s104.’l84.1ii0- Br* tain receives $180,698,520; pays

$159,927,480. Italy receives $45,448,- 550; pays 537.421.2213. Other Allies receive $59,311,800; pay $l'l.364.’180~ Germany pays 927.164.060-

Playing Politics

Last sunnrner, Mr. Mackenzie

King, in office, couldn’t see u“~'n-

ployment in Canada at all. He wouldn`t admit that unemployment

existed; he held that, even it it did exist. it wasn't a problem for his

Government. but for the provinces

and the municipalities. Now, out of

office, he's all the other way. What

was a purely municipal problem

last year, is a national problem this year; and Mr. King, the gen- tleman who dldn‘t have a "five

cent piece" for the provinces that happened to be Tory, now wants

a nonpartisan unemployment re- lief board. and an immediate Gov-

ernment policy. I

The present Government, as the

‘Ottawa Journal points out. has ap-

plied a resolute vigor to the un- employment problem. It is not too much to say, indeed, that its en-

ergetic action saved the country from what threatened to become a

serious situation. In the circum-

stances, and remembering the os~ trlch-like position taken by Mr.

King when he had a chance to do

something, his present solicltude for the workers is a striking ex-

ample of the art of playing politics.

Rights of Pedestrians

Of great importance to motorists,

as well as pedestrians, is the judg-

ment of Mr. Justice Martineau, of

the Superior Court ln Montreal, in

awarding a woman $850 in an ac-

tion taken against the driver of an automobile who ran her down at

a street intersection. The plaintiff had left a street car and had start- ed to cross the street when the de-

fendant‘s car entered into the inter-

section. Afraid of being hit, the woman hesitated to continue from

the middle of the road. stepping back, and then forward. She was

knocked down and hada leg broken.

The defendant, the judge pointed out, had seen the woman and should

have stopped. He did not, so he is

condemned to pay damages.

For Disarmament

In a message to the Toronto con-

ference of the Women's Interna-

tional League of Peace and Free-

dom, Sir Robert Borden recently said:

"I have said before and I repeat

that in future centuries the spir- it that insists upon resort to war for the settlement of interna- "tlorlal disputes will be"reg`ar`ded as no higher than the instinct that anlmates thc head hunters of Romeo."

Action will need to be taken in

many directions to eliminate the

menace of war. One supreme effort

is to be made through the League of Nations next year, when the powers are to be called upon to take real steps toward disarmament.

ISIITES BY TIIE WAY

No matter how much education

or even how much intelligence-or how much character-one may have if he hasn't poise he is without one of the vital parts of succesful per- sonality. something is wrong with the arch because an important stone is missing. Bc many people of the best intentions, the finest character, are fluttery, uncertain, unsure of themselves. They lack ease in the presence of others. They have everything but poise. Without poise the impression is im- perfect.

A forceful illustration 0! the

democratic nature of the British monarchy found recent illustration in the fact that on behalf of Kina George some rare colonial stamps were recently purchased from a New York dealer, as His Majesty hopes to have the best and biggest British collection. Time was when

a _British monarch did not go into the market for anything he desired.

What is it that Impcla men 10

risk their lives upon a hazardous adventure. The thrill of the GX-

Iperience along does not explain the

attempt. Something far bigger, far more stimulating, fa_r more inspir- ing than the mere prospect of B thrill must lie behind the impulse. Men say it is the call of the un- known, the lure of adventure, the irresistable urge to conquer nature, to wrest her secrets from her, to challenge her dominion. That was the mxignet which drew the explor- ers of old set forth upon unchar- ted seas in their frail little ships, in which no seamen of today would risk his ure. g

The spirit of adventure is Per-

haps the strongest influence motiv- ating mankind today. It endures indomitable and unconquerwble in the hearts of humanity, and with- out it this world would be but a sorry place in which io live. The steady flame of its beckoning light has ~ bumed from time im- memorial to indicate the way, and the greathearted among the lead- ers of men have never been able to resist its appeal.

With all the care possible drown-

ings will occiu. We must therefore, be on our guard at all time in ord- er to prevent accidents which are likely to happen unexpectedly when we are bathing on the beaches or going out in canoes. It is impor- tant in every case to practice strict sobriety. The abuse of alchollc liquor leads to thegravest dangers. as much on the beaches as it does on the public roads.

The American Geographical Un-

ion has just announced that very shortly weather for-casters may be enabled to forcast droughts and wet spells as much as twenty-five years ahead. That would seem to glve them a sufficient margin of safety from the indictment of the most irate holiday-maker whose week-fend is spoiled by rain. The idea has its disdavantageous aspects, however,. To know so for ahead what the weather is going to be like would tend to take a good deal of the glourious uncertainty out of life. It would effect trade, and lt might even have an influence uP- on the stock market.

There may be something to be

said for the long shot in weather 10102515. just ab there is on the race course, but the long shots come in so infrequently that it would per- haps be indillalng in too great an optimism to expect anything bet- ter from Mr. Probs. After all, he has his resources. He can at any time postpone criticism by the simple announcement: "Further outlook unsettled.” What can any- body do about that?

It is strange that an ordinary

farmer who will finish the year with a hundred dollars, with a big- ger cstablishment than he had the year before, with improvements made_ to his farm. after having paid all his debts and filled his cellar and bam with provisions, will envy the lot of a commercial travel- ler in the town who earns 8125 a month. He loses sight of the prog- ress accompllshed to compare the number of dollars which the towns- man can hadle. Yet what a difference between the lot of each of them, even if the farmer has not put a penny aside.

Clothes made in Itusaia are bc-

ing imported in Canada as British goods. if the word "dumping" means anything at all, lt should be applied, in its fullest sense of fraud and malpractice, to this dlsloyal manoeuvre. With the majority of newspapers ln the Province of Quebec we protest against this kind of commerce, which is calcu- lated to damage industry and work ers in this Province. If the redo-ai Government discoverl, by its agents, that this abuse is widespread, it will be its duty fo withdraw from British commerce what remains of tariff proffection for its exports to Canada.-_Quebec Uevsnment.

DIFFERENT CAUSE FOR. LOW BACK PAIN

The question that confronts a

physician when a patient comes in with pain in the lower backvis whe- ther the pain is due tc injury or to some poisoning in the system.

Some years ago all these pains

were thought to be due to infection, rheumatisrn it°was called. A little later these pains were thought to be due to a sprain of the joint between the last bone in the spinal column and the hip bone.

Now, as Dr. R. McE. Schaunler,

Kansas City points out. the truth of the matter is that sometimes the pain is due to infection, sometimes to an injury. Sometimes the pain is due at first to an injury but later some infection in the system goes to that spot, and the pain is thus due due to both injury and infection.

Sometimes there will be no appar-.

ent injury, no history of having

hurt the join_t, and there will like- wise be no infection that is causing the trouble. In a number of these cases it is because of the way the individual stands or sits. A slouch- ing attitude may throw a strain on the ligaments holding the bones to- gether. Very often the individual will put on a lot of weight, the ab- domen will protrude, and this extra weight out in front of the body pulls the last bone of the spinal column forward, thus putting a strain on the ligaments in the small of the back.

Therefore before treatment is

started the cause of the pain should be located.

It has been my privilege to see a

great number of these cases of lower back pain, and at least three out of every four can be traced to infec- tion from teeth or tonslls. The quick relief after removal of infected teeth and tonsils has been most re- markable. .

The other cases are usually due

to some mechanical cause, a. pro- truding abdomen, or more frequent- ly a sprain of some kind. Stepping downward when you thought you were walking on the level; lifting a weight. swinging hard at a golf ball, as among the common causes of this sprain.

The treatment is rest in bed for

a week or two, then strapping the joint as with any sprain, and finally the adjustment of a. supporting belt which may have to be worn for some months. `

Dont suffer with backache; there

is always a cause, and it will be found if searched for long enough.

Dickens Fame Secure

(Montreal Giizette)

Sixty-one years have elapsed since

Charles Dickens laid down the pen, and the chair at Gad's Hill became emptyl Recently, representatives of the Dickens Fellowship from all parts of the North American con- tinent met to unveil a tablet in

Montreal, signallzing the visit he paid toithls city, and to unite in lauding the great gifts of the man who is acclaimed the world over as the master of humor and pathos. This event itself goes very for to- wards answerlng the question as to the position and fame of Charles Dickens, who* expressed himself as desiring no other monument but his own works to perpetuate 'his name. Sixty years is a good test as to their significance, quality and influence. By what special marks is a great writer to be judged? When this question is asked, we usually fall upon the discussion of his style, his purpose and his temperament. Sure- ly the best of all tests is whether his works retain their hold upon the public imagination and whether his spirit still lives in them, surviv- ing the changes of fashion and thought and all the shifts of cir- cumstance. Assuredly, at a. time when the paraphernalia of coaching days and coaching ways seem as far removed from us as the feudal per- |0d; when it is the habit in some quarters to speak of the Victorian writers as prim pedlars of moralist Seniimenialiiv. and when the novel- ist craftsmanship seeks to escape the :@---l--_i_.._

and sisters.” To the Dickens rea/der they are real persons. We cannot bring ourselves to think of them as fictitious creations of some literary artist‘s imagination. The illusion is so strong that we never attempt to jerk ourselves out of it. Para- doxical as it sounds, the Dickensian oddities are types, and no comment upon his work is more commonly heard that that we have met some- body in the street so like a Dickens “character” the remembrance only evokes regret that the author cf “Pickwick” and “Copperfield” is no longer on the spot to produce the portralture, large as life, and illus- trative of "what a go" human nat- ure really isl `

What is this but to say that char-

les Dickens, struck the common chord and enabled us all to read more clearly and with sympathetic gaze the infinite variety and rich- ness of life, making all allowance for human foibles, and catching up afresh the golden threads of good cheer and good companionship, the controlling factors of progressive human relationships? Dickens cher- ished a purpose. In "Sketches by Boz" we may discern the prelude of that descriptive quality which enables him to pick up so rapidly images and resemblances that, once spoken, stick in the mind, and touch the springs of tears and laughter. In “Bleak House” we may descry the dramatic element which dom- inates ali his novels. "David Cop- perfield" has been pronounced bi' many the best specimen of Dickens' literary art. _I-Ie knew nothing of neutral tints. He mixed sunshine with the colors upon his palette. Re never dipped_ his pencil in gall. What he had to say about Coketown and standardization and Gradgrind and stiff conventions, he said very plainly. Yet his strictures never sank into acrid cynicism. Hs pre- served his good humor, becams the apostle of good cheer and, without ever writing a pnirient paragraph, or an unclean page, Dickens produc- ed books which have stimulated, and this in spits of all faults and failings, our confidence in the es- sential good of human nature and those amenities cultured around the domestic hearth and within the home. The verdict of Tiiackaray about Charles Dickens is a just est- imate and still stands true: "I may quarrel with Mr. Dickens' art a thousand times, and a thousand times I delight and wonder at his genius. Thankfully I take my share o_f the feast of love and kindness which this noble and generous and charitable soul has contributed to the happiness of the world. I like and enjoy my share and My a beng. diction for the meal."
