What was then only a vague, harmless p1_'e-election declaration of principles which might or might not exist, has, under ‘the circumstances become a threat of dark and fearful import. Under its shadow men and women, who hitherto have lived in the luxurious enjoyment of “overpaid ofiiciadom” are now canvassing their various functions with a view to discov- ering whether their duties shall or shall not measure up to what the uncertain principles of pre-election Liberal- ism might designate as useful or useless. It had not been suspected that our government ofiices were over- manned or over-womaned, certainly never suspected that ofhcials, men or women, were being rendered useless by too luxurious living on fat salaries. Nevertheless, it ap- pears under the new revelation, that there are “useless officials” and that some of them have been receiving too generous treatment in the matter of“s'ala1‘i~es. Will the axe fall? Where will it fall? Where are the useless officials? These are the questions that are agitating the Provincial Building and the various gov- ernment offices throughout the province. The threat of dismissal was as definite as the promise of increased sal- aries for teachers, as solemnly pledged as the promise of $2,000 each to all returned soldiers, as business-like as that revenue and expenditure would be made to meet without increased taxation, indeed after cutting off some $30,000 of War and Health Tax. Those ofhcials who are perhaps unnecessarily agitat- ing themselves, if there are such, over the usefulness or uselcssness of their official positions, will doubtless find some consolation in the fact that most of them are sitting in the seats of the mighty of a past political generation, if' not actually the incumbents of a former regime. That their seats should now be discarded as useless is impro- bable even in the uncertain light of a new political lum- rnary. Nor docs it-appear that there have been many new creations that can be legitimately classed as use- less, so, after all, the perturbation may be unnecessarily panicky. ' Seriously speaking, however, there is one condition that the province as a whole will insist upon. If there are any oflicial changes, whoever the present incumbents are, the new appointees, wherever possible, must be re- turned soldiers. Many promises, more or less ncbulous -'generally more so-were made to ‘the soldiers when" their votes were being solicited. These p1°omi_s_es are in the future; they may or may not be fulfilled and many of them were never intended to be fulfilled, but substitu- tions now will be definite, and the country will _hold the new government strictly to account -for the manner in which it overlooks the claims of eligible soldiers in its new appoitments. -» _-l_*_.O._-_W I` .\' li l'lh"l`. i On every hand we hear of the prevailing unrest, unrest that has turned the world upside down, that has unsettled everything, that is making everything uncer- tain. Whence comes it? What has caused it? How is it to be healed? We had hoped through five long, agonizing years of war, with their continuous sacrifice, with their continuous sorrow, their continuous revelation of indiv- idual and national greatness and heroism, that one of the products of the war would be a more splendid, more generous, more unselfish manhood and womanhood. We had hoped that the men who had mingled their blood in the trenches and had risked their lives for each other; that the men and women who gave so generously to main- tain the heroism of their sons and brothers on the battle- fields and acclaimed them as gods for their heroism, would in the peaceful days to come show their gratitude by mutual helpfulness, by greater generosity, by greater devotion and thankfulness for their great deliverance. The hope has so far not been realized. Possibly we are in too great hurry for the war’s harvest. Yet the har- vest will be reaped in time; every convulsion that has shaken the world, whether by earthquake shock or de- vastating flood, or war’s upheaval, has made for better- ment sooner or later. Looking backward over- the' his- tory of the world we find that every sanguinary war marks an upward turning in the pathway of civilization. The world’s unrest today is the result of contrasts. On the one hand we find men who have left all,-home, business, friends, comforts and gone into a veritable hell to fight, if necessary to lay down their lives for a righte- ous cause; on the other we find sordid men and women muckraking for wealth, for pleasure, for selfish -enjoy- ment, exploiting those whose self-sacrifice placed them at their mercy. We find men 'growing wealthy at the expense of those who suffered, men worshiping God one day in the seven and Mammon on the othersix. The contrast is too pronounced to be borne; profes- sion and practice are too far apart. How will it end? Not until\ the gulf between profession and practice, is bridged over, until the contrast has been at least par- tially wiped out. The war has but partially finished its vork There are either better or worse days to come, t is #ras -i-aHlnNv11:vS1nl\?l-4‘.)nR~¥o;‘oos The Motorist 1, sv ALBERT |..ci.ouen s-r.+-.'~».=>r--vt-as-y.a.¢p¢¢..~;.-f--' THE ENG,iNE'S' "VALVULAR" v TROUBLES (Continued) $¥¢\¢ U%K$$i’U era-az Leat'Your CyIinder's Compression Oc- casionally To Indicate Valve Condition ' 1-Uflki' Vlllvlls cause loss of fuel, ‘through its escape unburned :mil be- cause of the low compression attain- ed in the cylinders.
