EDUCATION & POLITICS

There is no reason for supposing. ss our local czontemporary professes to do, that the defeat of Hon. Dr. Cyrus Macmillan in the last fed-

eral election campaign indicated s‘

belief on the part of the people of this province “that an educated man had no place in political life." On the contrary, education is no- where held in higher esteem. nor has there been any shortage of ed- ucated men in our political life, be- fore or since Dr, Cyrus l\lucmillan's appearance as a Liberal candidate.

In politics. however. “many are tailed but few are chosen." If an unsuccessful candidate has the ad- vantage of a superior education. it should first of all enable him to accept defeat philosophically. The truly educated man, whether he be a University professor or a labour- er for nu. daily bread, is one who views things 1n true perspective, who has shcd lis cgotism and en- larged his sympathies and his un- derstanding of other pcoplc’s points of view. Such a lililll will, for ex- ample, be scrupulou=li~ fair to po- \\‘ilf“ilf‘l‘ in vc-

look over and report upon arma- ment conditions in every nation each six months. The two plans are not mutually exclusive, and in fact Mr. Norman Davis, who is in Europe representing President Roosevelt, is understood - some- what lIlun istently in view of the U. S. actual naval policy-to have instructions to support both. While complete disarmament is out of the question for the present, some form of limitatlonof arms may be adopt- ed. which would prove the basis for lates- and more complete reduc- tions when the international at- mosphere improves.

TORY PRINCIPLES

It was the bout of John Ruskin that he was, like his father before him, "a. Tory of the old school; Walter Scott's school, that is to say, and Homer's." He might have added many other illustrious names to the list, including the great Duke of Wellington and Dr, Samuel Johnson, both sturdy Tor- ies who knew where they stood, politically and morally, and had a healthy contempt for weather-

If they maintain this stand it seems evident that for the month of October there will be no civic payrolls. At the end of that time some relief will be had because semi-annual taxu will then be collected and the crisis will be passed for the time being. Some municipal politicians say rather than miss paying the muni- cipal employes, interest on New York's bonds should be defaulted; but it is unlikely that this would

The great major- ity of people can get along without s. large percentage of the things they buy; that has been demon- strated lately. The merchant who advertises makes business for him- self and for his community. Any group of business men that moot an underst “ing among themselves to limit advertising are putting a de- finite limitation and a handicap on the volume of business in their community as well as on their own business.

AT GENEVA ‘

The fourteenth Conference of the League of Nations, preparatory to the resumption ricxt month of the World Disarmament Conference, has assembled at Geneva in an atmosphere which is anything but propitious. It is obvious that fear and suspicion are still rife among the nations. Tlfe condition of ‘mutual confidence on which a dis. armament treaty must be based, if it is to be cflcctiire, is almost com- Dlelcly lacking. The United States, ignoring a British request for post- poncment, has intimated that it intends proceeding with a $238,000,- 000 naval building programme. France, though protected by the Locarno Pact, has just completed a great and costly underground fron- tier defense to make a future in- Vasion from Germany impossible. U-crmany and Austria arc throat- erich other across their boundry fence. There is a spirit

Charlie Chaplin has been rc- garded as a great comedian but he could not; see much fun in his divorced wife's claim of $33,994.62 for the support of their two chil- dren in the last twenty-two months. Atdorneys for Mr. Chaplin have filed exceptions, claiming that the expenditures were excessive. Mrs. Chaplin reported that $i6,841,54 was required for support oi’ Charles Jr., eight years’ old, "and $17,153.08 for Sidney Earl, seven. One of the items was $686.25 for guard pro- tection of the boys at home and traveling. Chaplin's exceptions asserted that Mrs. Chaplin by court order was allowed only $12,000 a. year for each child from the $200,000 trust fund established by the comedian for the boys.

The Vigil

As one grows older, time passes more and more quickly. Compara- tively speaking, life only lasts for a short time and is soon away. Iri- decd, it may end tomorrow-evenv this night.

1. Am I making the best use of the life that God has given me?

2. Am I frittering it sway, in do- ing nothing that counts-that is, washing it?

3, Aim I working at things that are not doing good to anybody?

4. Am I seeking tco much my own enjoyment- °1' mOHW-mvlklfl! or promotion without FY1118 W help other people?

6. Whom have I helped in my life? Is there anyone else I can help?

We get no pay or reward for do- ing service, but that makes us free men in doing it. We are not working for an employer but for God and our own conscience. This means that we are Men.
