The Bridge Undertakings

The strong indorsatioti of the Brighton and \\"est River bridge projects at the citizens’ tneet- iug Thursday night should result in immediate action being taken in making a survey of the work and of the estimated cost. This was prop- erly suggested as thd first step, with a view to having the work started during the coming summer. The civic, provincial and federal rep- resentatives who attended the meeting spoke in- dividually in favour of the projects, and no doubt these gentlemen will exert their inmost endeavours in convincing the l)tllllllll(lll (inv- ernlnent, and particularly the Finance Minister, Hon. C. A. DUNNING, of the importance and urgency of the undertaking.

While the tnztin estimates for public works. as tabled in Parliament, provide Iiothing in the way of new projects for this Province, there still remain the extraordinary expenditures to be made for Iiuemploytnent relief work. The Borden-Charlottetown-Summerside high- ways were completed, and the McLUJus ltighway to Rustico begun, under similar arrangements last year. Some criticism has been made of these and other undertakings by those now advocating the bridge projects. As Mr. l\'lcLuItI: pointed out at 'l'htirsday"s meeting, this is an unwise course to take it we expect further assistance from Cntawa. The Government has already he- fore it the example of the fate which its pre- decessors met after expending upwards of a million dollars in tmemployment relief work in this Province. Now that we are desirous of having the same policy extended to cover two new bridge projects, prudence would suggest that we express appreciation rather than in- gratitude of the efforts previously made to meet the Provinces requirements.

Where Responsibility Lies

We Iiotc pa curious tendency on the part of some correspondents in discussing the Pro- hibition situation, to lay the blame for alleged non-enforcement of the Act on the‘ l{.C.l\'l.P. In all fairness to those officers it should be pointed out that in the opinion of leading gov- ernment members the attitude taken by these correspondents is entirely at fault.

At the last regular session of the Legislat- ure, PremieInCAMPIaIzLL, then a member of the Opposition, charged specifically that laxity on the part of law officers was due to insincerity ml the part of the Government. “I submit," he added, “that law enforcement, especially in re- fort-nee to the Prohibition Law, ca-n only bc 0b- miwvi from a Government which has a sincerity llm/ f; born of conviction.” (Patriot, April I4).

Hon. B_ W. LEPAGE, now President of the lixe-ciitive Council, made the same point when he said: “No law. is any good unless it is prop- erly enforced, and it is just as Inuch the dilly of the Government to enforce the Prohibition Act as any other law on the statutes.” (Patriot, March I9).

Hon. Mr. DENNIS, present Minister of Ag- riculture, clinched the argument when he de- clared: “By this Act which empowers the Mounted Police to perform their duties in this Province they are under the jurisdiction and authority of our Attorney General, and are they to blame in this matter, or is Ilur blame to be laid at the door 0f the Honourable, the Attorney General? (Voices, hear, hear! Applause)"- Palriol, March 3o.

This question was further dealt with at the September special session of the Legislature, when Attorney General CAMPBELL introduced legislation to scrap the Prohibition Commission and vest his department with full authority to discharge both his own and the Commission's duties under the Act. The reason given by Mr. CARIPBELI. for this change was to prevent any further opportunity of “passing the buck", by placing responsibility for law enforcement fairly and squarely on the (iovcrnnicvifs shoulricrs.

No discussion of the Prohibition situation at lln". present time, therefore, can hope to make much impression on the reading public or on the tiovcrnment, if it shirks recognizing this vitally important factor.

Repugnant To Canadians

County Court Judges of Nova Scotia have etiterril their protest against the Americaniza- tinn of llalifax newspapersgespecially so far as reporting criminal cases is concerned. They passctl the following resolution which all British and justice loving readers will heartily endorse:

“The judges of the County Court of Nova Scotia consider it their duty, and in so doing believe they are expressing prevailing pub- lic sentiment in this Province, to protest against the growing tendency in Canada to feature crime in newspapers. They declare that the sensational so-called reporting of crimes and criminals in other lauds, glaring headlines of crimes in this country, with pictures of alleged criminals and

"of the scenes of crimes and of everything and

It is expected the Legislature will be sum- moned for March 23, or in that week. As Good Friday is on April Io, that would give the Gov- crnnIeIIt thirteen days to have all the necessary legislation “O.Ked" by the rank-and-file, which the Premier may consider amply stiflicient in view of the fact there is no opposition to 'waste"' the time of the House.

It is with keen regret we note the death of Editor G. \V_ hlaoolson of the Moncton Tintes. He was an able experienced practical news- paperman familiar with all branches of his pro- fession from police court to parliament, from sport paragraphist to editorial writing and direc- tion. Our sympathy goes not only to his family but to The Times which has lost two able Editors in two years. '

And the City Council thought so, too, for it rejected the bye-law by I7 votes to two. 9K ii 3K

Although no formal agreement has been completed it is generally understood the Domin- ion Government will serve as a collecting agent for Ontario's new income tax. Hon. J. L. lusuav, lllinister of National Revenue, said it was in- tended the federal income tax branch would collgct the Ontario tax as well. He added this could he done with a great saving to the pro- vince since the provisions of the two acts were similar. It would also simplify the work of the taxpayer in making his returns. 9|! ll? 9K Prime Minister KING is a delightfully innocent or ignorant head of a government. Recently he told an inquirer in the House that he was not in a position to inform him regard- ing the finances of the government, notwith- standing deputies aIId Auditor General. Now he tells another inquirer that he is ignorant of Canada's war commitments and must consult fellow portfolio holders on the subject. He could quite truthfully have declared "thar’s no sich hanimal," but then that would IIot have been playing KING politics. ll! ilf

The commutation of the sentence of death on an Ontario woman who murdered her l1tlS- band recalls the fact that ‘when Queen VICTORIA as a young girl came to the throne an act was passed in the first year of her reign transferring the revision of death sentences at the Central Criminal Court to the Home Secretary, and that regulation was adopted generally. Act- ually, as Queen VICTORIA grew older, she took a lively interest in this side of the Home Secre- tary’s duties; she complained that “men are len- ient to criminals who murder their wives,” and on one occasion had to be told that her Home Secretary would resign if she objected to the commutation of a sentence. Today, the exper- ience of mixed juries is, that women are often harder on CfllllvlCltdékw0alreflaFlilafl are jurymen.

A reverend speaker at Ontario Temperance dlederation condemned the beverage rooms of the province as nothing more than saloons and public houses. Another clergyman, also address- ing a temperance organization, stated that while the beer barons might be the enemy behindthe throne, the enemy which had to be found is in the Provincial Legislature. This critic also spoke disparagingly of Mr. Hepburn, “the man who is unfortunately the Premier of the province.” IIe said that bootlegging is rampant and that he himself had found an old organ that wasn't an organ at all, but full of whisky, and when he reported the matter nothing was done about it. It is a case, evidently, of the choice of two evils in Ontario, beer by the glass or whisky by the organ--pipe or lrrrgl, is not stated which.

We re-tell this story apropos Premier CAMrnsLtfs excommunication threat. Rt. ‘Hon. Snuuav BALnwxu mentioned that he had been once in the prisoner's clock when he sat on the Stourport Bench recently to make a. presenta- tion to Mr. Sr/turmv HEMINGWAY, who has re- tired from the office of magistrates’ clerk. "I have had a pleasure which was never granted- to you," he told Mr. HEMINGWAY, “ I have been in the dock during the time your father presided over this court. It was in the time when muzzling orders were about. I had a dog of a very inquis- itive tum of mind, and it walked out of the gate to get the early- morning air. Then it sat down on the grass verge to tear its muzzle off. Inspect- or Women, passing at the ‘time, saw it was ‘insufficiently clad’ an it coat -me ten shillings.

When anned knights salllcd forth to battle with gonfalons waving tn the breeze, when the spirit. of chivalry prevailed and fighting was a matter of personal sktll ‘and bravery; when the enemy took and gave vigorous blow for blow tn open combat. there may have been something of the heroic and plc- turesque about warfare. But. those days are gone. Explcslves and pot- son gas and flammenwerfer have changed all that. Modern warfare ts an unmitigated evil, a nolsome thing.

A HEALTHY GALL BLADDER- l5 ‘AN ASSET TO HEALTH

Now the fact that many have stones rind do not need operation. and others have a. chronic inflata- mation of the gall bladder and ltkewlse do not have to undergo operation doesn't. mean that they are all free from symptoms. A healthy gut bladder t: a reel help or asset to health whereas an un- healthy gall bladd . l: a hlnd- rance or llabtllty. A healthy ‘gall bladder takes over apart of the work of that. overworked organ the ltver, whereas when the gall blad- der ls tnflamcd or subject to inflam- mation and stone formation, and has to be removed. the liver has to take over the work the gall blad- der should be doing.

An unhealthy gall bladd . and an unhealthy appendix are often found together and surgeons when removing the appendix usually tn- spect the gall bladder also and many report. that seventy-five per- cent. of their appendix eases show sertou: disturbances tn the gall bladder.

Now tt l: not definitely known what. causes an inflammation of the appendix but. the cause of tn- tlammntlon of the gall bladder ls known to be due to infection from teeth, tonsils, appendlx, sinuses. large intestine getting tnto the blood stream, and canted to the llver and. gall bladd ..

And the two outstanding condl- tlons that help to make matters worse and are ltkely a big factor tn causing gall bladder inflamma- tton are the overeating of rtcb fat. foods, and sluggish. ess-comtlpn- tton of t-he lower bowel.

Those whose work consists of alt- ttng all day, those who take little or no exercise, and those who have apparently inherited a. slu llver and bowel are most llkey to be bothered with gall bladder tn- flammatton with it: headaches, tiredness, great. amount of go: tn the stomach, and occasional "colic" symptonw.
