In that election the Conservatives won 137 seats and the Liberals 88. Today the Conservatives have the some number of seats and the Lb- arsls one less. The House of commons’ standing as a result of the three by-clectlons lust held is as follows: July 28 Ocltdber 24 1930 3 Conservatives . . . . . 137 137 Liberals 08 87 ‘UFA. 9 9 Hogressives . . . . . 3 2 Lh-Progresives . 3 3 Lsibor . . . . a 4 Independent 2 2 Vacancies 0 1 245 245 There is still one vacancy in the louse of Oorrlrnons-in South Oll- ford. where the Liberals won the lent in 1030 by a majority of 55.

It bit the rope by which the piano was supported; the piano crashed to the paving, and was shatte ed beyond all possibility of further use. The dog-qaerhaps a Dog Scout-went on his way rejoicing; he had per- formed his good deed for the day. rrrrazvnrzva m4 1m The stock argument used by Lib- eral politicians in the recent by- clection campaigns was that the B “ tariff policies were closing the ports of Canada f0 world trade.

That this bone was sightly out of place was "rubbing" on the hip bone, was not stated, but Mrs. Moody was unable to play owing to this “low back pain." However it s rved to call atten- tion to a condition that is very common, and also to the causes of all these cases of low back pain, namely injury or infection, of both. Unfortunately this is a condition which the X-ray doesn't always disclose, just as one can have a uprained ankle or other joint with ligaments, nerve, bloodvesseb all tom, but the bones apparently in perfect position. The x-ray will show up old arthritic, rheumatic, or inflammatory conditions, which is helpful in treztment, but real trouble may exist without the X- ray showing it. Dr. W. Duncan, Cleveland, re- views the rlcords of 500 consecu- tive patlents (taken just as they came) whose chief complaint was pain in the lower part of the back. About 170 were w.m:n who showed a more marked holowing of the lower back than normal, free movement in all directions. but typical pain and discomfort on attemptng to touch toes with knees straight or ‘bending back- wards as far as possible, with ten- derness over 1C8 lwer part of the spine'a.nd the joint connecting the last sp ne bone wth the hip bone.

Cur difficulties today (typified in the monetary problems at pre- sent calling for solution). largely consist m this: that the ordinary voter, with the modfct and quite g ncrl-l education which ls all he has been able to secure. is now confronted with questions that are essentially of a scientific character. m particular, questions of credit and currency have become so com- plicated and obscure (as s result of the countless infer-relations, which Jhesomany threadsblndus all iiogether, in all countries. as mem- lbers of one economic civilisation), that in most countries there are only a few score ‘people, , r , not even as many, who can be said to have understood them fully. What is democracy to do? ‘The question's at issue cannot be shelv- ed: they must be faced, and the need for facing them is urgent. Wrong decisions, based on miscon- ception of the facts, or a superfl- cial understanding of their bear- ing upon one another, necessarily bring in their train unfortunate consequences; and these are not restricled to governments or to fi- nancial institutions, but are visited upon the ordinary voter, whose cf- forts to gain a living may be thwarted and brought to nothing by wrong monetary policies- Refuge is not to)» found there- fore, in a refusal to make decisions. The longer choice is postponed, the longer will the consequences of an existing situation be felt. Decis- ions must be made, and the real question is, How shall they be made? The course to be taken is not obvious: indeed, there are sev- eral alternatives One choice for democracyyis that of abdication. It is, in fact, r0- mwkablc that within the past twenty years demccrecy has van- ished from the face of a large pert of the earth, where democratic in- stltutions existed, ,and in many cases secmed to possess e good deal of vitality, before‘ 1014. ‘m Europe (as a rule by violence) de- mocratc government 9 has been abrogated in all the great countries east of the Rhine and the Alps. Sometimes (as with the Douma. for exam ‘ ) pariamentsry govern- ment has been abolished. In other countries a par- liament still exists, but only to re- gister the decrees of a dictatorship. But whether, in n. given instance, the forms of parliamentary govern- ment exist or not, it is true that parliamentary govn-nment, as we know it. no longer _ functions in those countries. In the world that. was to be "mode safe for democra- cy“ in 1018, democratic govern- ment is lees -secure than it has been for many generations. The political developments l0 characteristic of central and south- ern Europe, have not occurred in Anglo-Saxon countries. Democra- tic institutions have continued to function in all of them. But they have been faced with essentially the some economic , blame, and have been no more able to dismiss or evade thus problrms, than have the great countries ‘of Europe.

It is obviously premature as yet to form any con- cuslons as to the results obtainable from the policies pursued under the N. R.

Indeed it is difficult to realise that Stevenson was‘ contemporary with many of our living writers, so long docs it seem since. he hpard “the call," and so long have we been familiar with his posthumous fame. Crockett dedicated “The Stlcklt Minister" to Stevenson, and just be- fore its publication wrote asking what chance he thought an un- known writer had; Stevenson had not then received the book, but with characteristic candor, he replied, “Why should you suppose your book will be slated because you have no friends? A new writer, it he is any good, will be acclaimed generally with more noise than he deserves." yet Crockett touched a very tender chord in the heart of R. L. S. when he wrote on the dedication page of his first book: “To Robert Louis Stevenson, of Scotland and Samoa, I dedicate these stories of that grey Galloway land where about the graves of the martyrs the whaups are crying, his heart remembers how." ' Shortly afterwards Stevenson wrote to Sidney Colvin, "Did you scc a man who wrote ‘The Stickil Minister,‘ and dedicated it to me, in words that brought the tears to my eyes every time I looked at them. ‘Where about the graves of the martyrs the whaups are crying. His heart remembers how.‘ Ah, by God, it does!" ‘ Deep could hardly fail to lnswci‘ unto deep, and in reply we have those moving verses: To S. R. Crockett.
