How many vacancies, political, civic
and official, this community has been
called upon to fill within a brief space l Sir
Louis Daivies` elevation tc the Supreme
Court caused a great vacancy, not only
in the rdpresentation of West Queens,
but of the Island, a vacancy that could
notat once be fully filled, for he had
made for himself a large place in the
public affairs of Canada, in the Cabinet
and in the international concerns ci the
command. The constituency did well to
send to Ottawa in his stead the late Hon.
D. Farquharson, who was something
more than the representative of a single
constituency, for he had been our Premier
and as such a representative cf the ls-
iand. Still we had lost some ground, for
the influential Cabinet position which
was ours before passed to another. And
than the shadowy hand of thc silent
messenger made another vacancy in the
representation. This we are now
called to illl.
It seems needless to say that the strong-
est, most capable and moat influential
man we can select ought to be sent to
Ottawa at the present juncture. This is
the metropolitan constituency of the ls-
land. Our representative, more than the
member for any other riding in tha Pro~
vince, will beiooked to as the leader and
the spokesman for the entire Island. He
ought to be something more than a more
Ipirty man, more than a more represen-
tative of a local electoral division. He
should be well versed In all the questions
involved in our federal relations, our trade
and industry, our varied lines of produc-
tion, aur means of transportation and of
communication by rail, steamer, mall and
telegraph. Very much indeed for the
future welfare and progress of our city
and Province will depend upen how we
shall till this vacancy on Tuesday next.
We have been filling civic vacancies sf
late by the election of a Mayor and Coun-
cillors to take the places of those whose
term oi’ office had expired. We have now
I a new Mayor, and tive members cf the
country such as no other Islander could

to face with the question of raontanisation
of Council work by the appointment of
chairmen for the Finance, Street, Police,
Market and Public Properties Com-
mittees. Upon a good selection for these
several positions much will depend not
‘only with respect _to aiiiciont and econ-
omical administration of our affairs, but
also in regard to the observance of law
`and order ln the city. And there is al\o
the position of City Clerk to be short ly
illled by a new appointment to replace
the _careful and enicient Clerk whose re-
_sigoation will take eflect on l5th Mareh.
Too much care and judgment cannot be
exercised in selecting the best available
men for these important positions.
There is still another important odicidl
vacancy to be iilled in our midst caused
‘ by tne demise of our late Postmaster and
inspector. We think this position ought
to be promptly dlied-ought indeed to
have been filled before this time. This
"is themost difficult and critical season of
the year in regard tc our mail arrange-
‘ ments. It involves no reiiection upon the
clicient and capable Assistant Postmaster
when we say that with but temporlfl
control o'! our postal affairs, he cannot
be as free to devise and to act in the intar-
ests of the service and of the public as
would an ofiloial permanently appointed
and clothed with full ofiicial power and
responsibility. The appointment of a
snccessar to the late Postmaster ought
not to be longer delayed, and we trust
that it may very shortly be announced.
SOM E IAPANESE PROVi'RBS~
The war now on awakens new interest
in Japan and its people, the land of the
rising sun, the land of lowers, the land of
poetry, the land of incense, the land where
all believe in pre-existence and in endless
transnigrations of the re-embodied spirit
after death. Flowers are every-
where; the air is saturated with incense
in the home, be it palace or acttage, and
in the temples; poetry in Japan is univer-
sal as the air; it is read by everybody, it is
composed by almost everybody irrespec-
tivs of class and condition, We are told
that wherever there is work there is
singing; the toil of the llelds and the
labor of the streets are performed to the
rhythm af chanted verse. And poetry
appears everywhere written or graven in
thousands of verselets on walls, vases,
shop signs, panels, screens and fans. But
it is not of Japanese poetry we would
now speak although the subject is a
tempting one. Rather let us turn to the
sober wisdom which has been embodied
in Japanese proverbs. Here are a few
specimens chosen from among thc mary,
and such as can be' understood by nil
without explanationz-

The task of the priest is to save man-
kind.
One blind man leads many blind msn.
