Myers, Commissioner of Asriillli‘ lure, before the recent immigration report ‘in yesterday's sane‘y and of immigration as it zl-flelrls KM; province. We commend tile r990"- u the careful considerat; iii of our coders. . That we need immigrants in this Province ls not only admitted by all but it is admttled that we need them so much that it will pay us to spend money in getting them. There is an ldea that we need im- migrants to otcupy our vacant and abandoned farms. This is not so by any means. On the contrary. as Mr. Myers points out, ll. would be a lauil error to permit any im- migrant to settle 119011 a darn‘ which could not support its former, lie points out that: DCCU liflll LS. crns, fully equipped with stock sndi machinery, the soil still in good condition, that are available for purchase because the sons have gone elsewhere to tske up some calling or profession, leaving the farm to the “old people" who are una/bie it. und who would willingly sell. Ono thing that must. be constant- ly borne in mind is that every im- migrant who settles here is, indir- ectly. an agent oi‘ the Province. to work 'Through his report to his friends and neighbors at home he either encourages others to come or pre- vents their coming. The aim, there- fore, must be to make every immi- grant who settles here s. success- ful and contented settler. Every successful settler will ibe n continu~ one and practical advertisement for the Province and will do more to bring others here than any other kind of publicity. The re- verse 0d this is also true. The provincial government has taken [irsctlcai steps l0 secure the right kind oi" immigrants. l0 help them when they came here, to sec that the farms they purchase give reasonable hope of success and to give them such instruction in farm- ing as they may require. Whether we gel new settlers by this method or not, and there are good reasons-l to believe that we shall, the method lldopted is the only practical one in sight. To extend a general in- vitation to all and sundry to come would not only be futile but suicid- We musl. get the right kind of immigrants and we must look alter them when they come. .11. What of our vacant farms? What uf the farms on which their occu- pants could not. make a living? Many of these farms were once prosperous. While the virgin soil was still rich, fresh from the orig- inal forcst with its generations of foliage and plant iifo, these farms produced abundantly. Through faulty methods of farming they came lo poverty, but not beyond redemption, although such i damp- tion would mesn years of almost fruitless toll. Those forms may be redeemed, ss Mr. Myers pointed out, by growing potatoes with chemical fertiliser. This. however. is not an experiment for immigrants; it is apretty sure speculation that may be undertaken by our own people snd we hope to see in the very near future good crops of potatom grown on fsrme "that ere now regarded es "run out." They sle still suitable for potato. The GUARDIAN lay the telluvvlnl Innate ln there are many firms. going cou-ivmuuonalm. beam, lboth realized that they wem nuan- P. T. Murphy. Prince 51.. Grocery J.

"Give ms the men who sings at his work," said a certain philoso- pher. Translated into the ordinary vernacular this simply means g0- ing about unci- work cheerfully “it! hopefully, plans intelligently made beforehand and, assured °l b91118 right, going cheerfully ahead. There is a so-called optimism that is akin to idiocy. indeed thu idiot is usually the most optimistic of human beings. Erie rewfiflllefi no danger and never worries about the future. His childish plans will work out somehow, and lhe result never disappoints hi-m. Needless to say, this is idiocy, not optimism. Yet there are those who counsel such. Practical optimism never cur- renders to the “bludgeonlpgs of chance." d-ie knows his capabili- ties and his strength and relies up on these. in the crowded Stock Exchange in New York, two mun, the Exchange opened, watch with others the tele- graphed reports of the steadily fall- Aug exchange. Al. a certuin- p0ll1t cially ruined, reduced from alflu- ence to poverty. One went to his office and committed suicide; the other, although sore stricken, went to his office, arranged the transfer of nil be possessed to his creditors, two years he was again a million-I sire. The latter was the true o) timist. He realized that he had succeeded before and that he could do so again. To be optimistic is not to be lg norsnt of danger, not to realize that there are difficulties ahead, not to recognize trade depression and the incidental obstacles that reveal them-selves in every walk of life. Sane optimism takes cogniz- ance of all of these, takes such pre cautions as are possible to over- come them and, if beaten, goes at it again. l "Give us the man who sings at his work," says the philosopher, providing he sings sensibly and saneiy, and providing that his solo ‘singing does not hinder his work 'or annoy his neighbors, but heaven protect us from the man who sings with idiotic chcerfuiness when in the midst of the breakers and when he should be pulling at his oar with all his strength of body andmind, and with no breath left for audible singing, but with the song oi hops ln his heart. __.-.~'i HOUSE OF COMMONS. With the defeat of the Govern- ment candidate in lHsllfsx on Wed nesday, the ‘Liberal party in the House of Commons is now in the minority. Previous to the last session the parties stood, Liberals 116, com- bined opposition 118. Just ‘before the session two Progressives de- serted their purty and joined the Liberals, increasing the rsnile 0t the letter to 118 and reducing the opposlti to 1'16. ‘Later in the ees elon. A. R. McMsster, Liberal, de sorted his party and lined up with the opposition, making the two par- ties even, 1'17 each, with the Speaker, a Liberal, holding the pow- er of the esetlng vote in one of s tie. With the election o! Mr. Block, Conservative, tho score now is Liberals Ill, Opposition 118. of its institutions. Ireland as a Free Stale with s constitution whose ‘msln features are those of the Dominion 5f Canada, is more contented and peaceful than it hos been in the lifetime of ‘living per- sons. The subscribers to the loan will have a strong interest in sup porting stable government and pro motiug the future prosperity of the nation. The population of the lrlsh Free Blnte is about the same as that of the Dominion of Canada when ll was first organised 1n i867. Look- ing backward to that date we must all realize how impossible it would then have been to have floated a loan of a hundred millions within the bounds oi Canada. lt has since become possible to float many loans of that and of greater amount within our Dominion, but it was in a federation whose ares, pozenlial resources and population have been vastly expanded within the pssl fifty-six years. The peace and prosperity o! Ireland are of the utmost import- ance, not only to the residents of the Free State, but to many mllll, ons abroad in the English-speaking world. They will be pleased to note the evidence of psciflcstlon, stability and a brighter outlook to- ward the future which the prompt subscription of so large s. sum by the Irish people themselves aifords, and also to lcsrn. not without some surprise, that after so long a period of turbulence and contention so large a‘ sum should be voluntsrily subscribed in support and further- ance of the new order of things. lriehmen and their descendants in ‘Canada, many In number as they are, have now had the experi- ence of over fifty yesra, under im- minion rule, and must he satisfied that it gives as large s. measure ol‘ civil and religious liberty and sell government as any form of govern ment that has yet been devised. and this fact has no doubt greatly con- tributed to induce the Irish people at home to accept a similar consti- able remedy for the unfortunate conditions that have so long pre- vailed in Ireland. All right-think- ing people in Canada will join in the hope that are paclflcatlon of Ireland way he speedily completed and that afull measure of prmper- lty may fol-low. Preparations are under way for the union of the Anglican Church with the United Church of Canada when the latter is legally establish- ed, says the Vancouver Sun. That journal slates that this was the comment of Anglican clergyman upon the pronouncements of Rev. Doctors Gordon and Pidgeon, and Hon. N. W. BROWO“ at the present Church “Union meeting in Massey Hall, Toronto. These gentlemen are quoted as saying that it would only b0 a matter of time until the Anglican Church would be brought in. Ol course, these gentlemen did not have and did not clai-m any authority to speak fortbe Anglican Church. The preparation above spoken of will not be hurried, ac- cording to the statement of Rev. W. H. Vance, of the Anglican Theo. lgolcal College of Vancouver, as quoted -by The Sun. Further negoti- ations will not be attempted until the merger of the three churches now seeking legislation is complet- ed. the date of which is yet uncer- thin.
