WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 193.0 i l Premier Lea Takes Office It was a foregone conclusion that‘ the Hon. A. C.

Lea, who has been Minister of Agriculture and Prmlncial Treasurer under the Saunders Government since its elec- tion in i937 ‘Fills has luecn done; His Honour the Lieutenant Governor has signified his acceptance and Mr. Lea President of his successor was duly sworn in as the Execuiiic Council ycstcrdayi af- ternoon. Mi", Lea now Premier of the Province. 1t will be his duty, among other things, to en- deavor t0 supply that wise guidance becomes and advice which, ltCCtJffllllg to the text 0f the address presented by the Liberal members to TQbITlDB leader. will be greatly missed by the their admiring followers of the latter gen- tleman. Cotipled ivith Premier Leas determination adequately to fill his in this respect the ambition to recogni- predecessors shoes will doubtless be achieve more than verbal tion for “a strict adherence to high principles of rectitudc;" and this. of mui-se, will include 100 ner wit ful- ,' fillment of the pre-election pledges of the Saunders G0\'ei'iiii10nl- while the Government has been ileivlg: sworn in, it remains the same old administration in so far as its obligations to the country are concerned. Premier Lea, like EX- Premier Saunders, stands pledged to a successful enforcement of the Pro- hibition Act; to an honest endeavor (.9 put into effect the King Govern- ments old age pensions scheme; to encourage the crowing of cranberries, etcs to give to Charlottetown and the municipal towns of the Province an adequate share of the subsidy necurcd bv the Stewart Gtncrnmciit in lieu of railway taxation; and to uher measures outlined in the Lib- eral election platform of i927 and still uninipleniciitecl.

The Best Read Book The British and Foreign B.ble So- ciety announced a year ago that. in the twelve months then ended it any of the previous one hundred md twenty-four years of its existence. It had sent out from the B.blc House lii London to all parts of the world no less than 11,399,540 volumes ‘con- tairing the whole or portions of the Holy Scriptures, I1 had published or circulated no less than 618 transla- tions of the Scriptures into lang- uages other titan English, including 146 complete Bibles, 150 complete New Testamierlts and 322 integral portions of the BlblE. The Canadian B.ble Society, aux- ilary to the British and Foreign Bible Society‘, has given evidence in its report of its operations in the year ending February 28 last that the tlemiuid for copies of the Scrip- tures aniolg the people of Canada. and Nevrfoundlauil coiit.iiues to b’: Igreat. Indeed, the records of the or- ganization, formed some twenty-six Ilyears ago to distribute the Scrip- lures, without, note or comment, to ‘all who will reoe-ve them, shonv that lthe demand has more than tripled in that period. 1n 1908 the society placed 132.633 copies of “the Bible or lportions of the Bible in the hands of Canadaiis and. inhabitants of New- foundland. From then utzxtl 1916 the number of copies that it sold 0r gave I to people in the two dominions grew {steadily larger from year to year. Lu 1916 the number reached 344,855. TIIZM, total was not. exceeded until i923, Whfill 3.30.032 volumes were dis- tr billed, and from i923 to 1928 the number again steadily advanced. In i928 no less than 506,897 volumes a-ere supplied to readers, and last year distribution amourltcd to 479,- 371 volulnes, of which 391,580 were in Eiiglsli and 87.791 were in other latiguagcs.

Mr. Venlot, Postmaster General, ls either to be dropped from the King Cabinet altogether, as the l-lon. John l3. Sinclair was dropped on a mevlous occasion, or will be supplanted in the Postmas- ter-Generalshlp by Hon. Mr. Rinfret of Quebec. Mr. Rinfret. is Secretary of State, a rather unimportant port- folio carrying no patronage. Montreal star says Liberals there expect official announcement 0t Mr. Rlnfret/s promotion within a few days and that he will take charge of the party organization in the dis- trict of Montreal, where Liberalism has been on the down grade elnce Mr. Houde assumed the Conservative leadership ln the province. Mr. Rin- fretts promotion may also be intend- ed to appease Quebec for the loss of the Finance Department, both Fin- l.1:-.iiceritv' of the death-bed repetit- anon and Railways going to the west.

According to u cable Sir Oliver Lodge, famous British scientist, keeps fit by a course of rigid physical ex- ercises. At his home in Salisbury, England, he has a gymnasium where he takes his exercise every morning before having a round of golf on his own beautiful grounds. Like some modern exponent of the cauliflower industry, Sir Oliver dolls knuckle gloves and wades into his punching bag with all the vigor of n. much younger man. After the punching working them from a reclining posi- tion which gives much the same ex- ercise as rowing u boat. Sir Oliver on the threshold of four score years, sets an example for many younger men. In order to keep tubs on the com- ing federal election, it will be inter- esting to remember the present stand- ing of the political parties in the. House of Commons.

Hc was one of the great mast- ers of the dying art of parliamentary eloquence, in the tradition of the gladiators of the past. 1t ts to be hop- ed that the Commons‘ loss will be the Scnatcs gain." Once again the Khyber Pass looms in the picture. This is the narrow dc- file in the toivcririg Hindu Koosh Mountains which serves as India's backdoor to the northwest. It ls guarded on the Punjab side by Pesh- awar and Quitta. On the Afghan side Russia has long been a menace. This is the channel through ivhich Alex- ander tlic Great entered India and through which successive waves of conquerors swept out over the vast peninsula iliitll the British took over control about the‘ time that they, to ‘. control of Canada. In the cn-l suing 170 years they have protected the inhabitants from invasion. put down racial and religious wars, built irrigation works, establshoel santa- tion, driven out the plague, abolished suttie, reduced mortality amongst‘ the natives to an amazing degree, bc- ‘l gun the suppression of child mar-' riagc and gradually educated the swarming native population towards self-government. In making a survey with regard to the coming federal election, and ar- riving at a conclusion as to the trend of opinion iii the higher cir- cles at Ottawa as well as throughout the country, lt is well to consider cer- tain outstanding facts. Perhaps the most significant is the apparent dc- sire of Cabinet Ministers and sup- porters of the Government to re- tire to the Senate or some other per- manent office in the gift of the Government. Were tlic (lovernment in the strong position claimed by some of its friends and ‘even reason- ably sure of bcing returned to pow- er, the Senate vacancies would have been filled long ago and not kept open till the eve of the election to provide places for those who must regard the political situation as risky. Racial troubles have flared up in Worcester, u small town about sixty miles from Cape Towriln, South Af- rlca. During a meeting of negroes and "coloured people" imulattoes) constables arrested a native with rifles. In the riot that resulted seven Kaffirs were killed and thirty wound- ed, Two policemen were critically iii- jured. This is only symptomatic of the negro unrest that is becoming a profound menace to white supremacy. The three provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba have recently held B. conference on the question of immigration for the whole Dominion, and it is expected that. representations will go forward to Ottawa which will amount to a mandate. One supposes that Mr. R. J. Deach- nian, secretary of the so-ciilled Con- sumers‘ League. will go back to his first. love-dournallsm-now that the in Brooklyn. This woman, a lawyer, I-le tells us that the interview has four stages. ' lst, Stage: 'l‘lic patent is rc- irluested to state t.lie trouble that ‘brings him to the clinic, and given- 'all' the time he iva its to tell about hi: complaints. v ‘Jud. Stage: llc is asked when did the trouble begin; hozv trouble start-cu, at home or at work: does i‘c blame anything for his trouble? 3rd. Stage: Why did lie come to i'lis l)il_\'s.t'lftll. what did he fi,.-d out from I other physicians‘? 4th. Stage: How does he feel about his ailments? Is he afraid of .cei~, ulcer, or other particular trouble‘! You can thus sec that the nerve specialist ‘is trying to fiiid out ivhetlici" ilic patients miiid has any- thing to do with his ailment and his comipg to sec the stomach and intesttiial specialist. Now what did he find out in these 150 cases? "Phat three out of every four had J-Oilw emotional problem fear, anxi- ety, discomfort. oi some kind, What does this meiiii to the specalists in stomach and intestines? That before he even begins treat- iiig the case. lie will have this ii:- forniatiOn available, and will begin to treat the patients lniiid before he begins oi t-hc stomach and intestine. lie gets the patient/s point of view. and learns some of his ‘hlddcif and ll1'JX]‘|l‘(.‘S-‘5'Jfl feelings. You can readily see how he will get tlic patients confidence and the patient will do everything to help tlic physician to rurc h m. This lcison can apply to all lillldS of ailments. “I LOVE ALL BEAUTEOUS THINGS" I love all beauteous things, I seek and adore them: God hath no better iaraise,‘ And man in his hasty day's Is honoured for them.

But WW1‘- ently the Postmaster General thinks the cost too high. It seems strange that when s. laboring man asks filly assistance from the Government, the treasury is always dry.

The King Government does not thiiik this issue worth bothering with, but perhaps before the election is over they will find out; and if something is not done before the House is dis- solved there will be something doing iii the rural (iistricts of Canada this summer. The Post Master General admits that the department could pay the rural mail couriers more salary but he has iicvei- made any, attempt. to remedy this condition. Other Gov- ernment officials get lair; salaries, some of their, big automobiles, found by the Government and even their gas: aiid the people of this country must pay for all this while our rural mail couriers get nothing. not even a few weeks‘ vacation, and have to is all tuivcaisouable state of affairs.
