`» Car Ferry Repairs
Now that the provincial '¢le¢¢l°°
is ovgr, ith. difficult to under-
'stand what' motive could have in-
spired our cohtemporary’s garbled
`|t,`at¢munt.wlth reference to car
:er-:y repairs which appeared in
its issue of yesterday It states that;
the car ferry "Prince Edward Is~i
ianc'» has cons to Quebec 1°r “re-'
pairs,", that, it .has received con-
firmation of this statement from;
the raiiwayyauthorlties hcre, and
that therefore The Guardians
statement of Aug. -ith, namely, that
tile,"-steamer will come to Char-,
bttscolm fur: general ovorhauling
and repairs to boilers, deck and
enginos is “another pre-election
bubble burst, another campaign
promise violated, another political
roorback exposed? .
Here, evidently, is another case`
bf the wish being father to the
thought. The Liberal organ has
lumped to a conclusion which suits
lt politically, but which has absol-
utely no foundation in fact, as it
.could easily have ascertained had
'it inquired from Messrs. Bruce
Stewart .Sr Company, who have the
contract for the work referred to.
. The fact is that the car ferry has
gone to Quebec for under water re-
pairs only-repairs which could
not be done here in any case, as
they necessitate dry-clock facilities.
Tenders for this work were made
by St. John and Halifax shipyards
as well as by the Davie shipyards
of Quebec, and the latter firm’s
tender, being the lowest, was ac-
cepted. For boiler repairs and the
other work mentioned by The
Guardian, however,' the steamer
will return in three weeks' time
and the work will be done, as al-
ready stated, by Bruce Stewart as
Company, employing' local men
and benefiting the Province to
that extent.
, Our contemporary’s misleading
statement of yesterday serves at
least one good purpose. It em-
Phasizes the value of having wide-
Bwake federal representatives look-
lrig after our interests. without the
active assistance of Messrs. W.
Chester S. Mclhure, J. H. Myers and
Hon. J. A. MacDonald the con-
iflct for the car fer:y repairs
_would undoubtedly have gone to
the Quebec company. This also 15
I (wt which our contemporary can
rverlfy by inquiry from the local
firm now in D08-Session of the con-
|:rnct.
*' Naturally, the local Conservative
members are being wannly com-
lnendcd “DOB their enterprise in
occuring this extensive repair job
for an Island firm. lt is many
years since the car ferry has been
repaired hero, and the fact that it
has been secured at this time in
the face of strenuous opposition is
lfelfly to their credit.
Incidentally, it may be pointed
but that the Guardian's announce-
ment of Aug- 4, which the Liberal
organ now claims to have exposed
as a "roorback." appear-cd sign in
lie Liberal organ of they same datel
l We trust that our contemporary
will have the courtesy to publish a
retraction of its inexcusable mis-
statement of yesterday, and that it
mill endeavor, in the future, to
lvoid such nefarious tactics in
dealing with matters of importance
I-nd concern to the Province.

TREATING GOITBE BY BADIUM
You may read from time ‘o time
of 0. gift of radlum to some hospital
and you may wonder whether such a `
small amount of radlum costing so
much money is worth that much to
humanity.
Your doctor will tell you that rad-
ium is s wonderful ,help in some
cases of cancer and other growths,
where surgery ur the use of X ray
treatment, is not thought advisable.
One uae.of radium that is now
receiving much attention is in cases
of the severe type of goitre or an en-
largement of the thyroid gland in
the neck.
Dr. F. I-logler, Vienna, reports 306
cases of severe goitre who in the
course of twelve years received rad-
ium treatment. Of thisnumber, 211
showed marked improvement which
in many cases was almost equal to
complete cure. In 46 cases a. slight
improvement was noted. In 43 cases
there was no effect whatever, but
none of these cases were any worse
for the treatment.
Dr. Hogler point-s out that lf these
results were compared with those
effected by surgical treatment or by
the use of the X rays, it becomes
evident that radium treatment is as
effective as these other methods.
Further, radium treatment is safe,
whereas in X ray treatment there
are occasional complications and of
course there is always some risk ln
surgery.  V
However Dr. Hogier admits that
just as X ray treatment doesn‘t help
all cases, so there are also failures
with radium treatment, and this
means that surgical treatment must
be given. . , .
He tells us also that where sur-
gery has to be used that there is less
trouble for the surgeon where rad-
ium has been used than where X
ray treatment has been given.
Where the goitre has grown to the
point when lt is actually beginning
to cut oi! the breathing surgery is at
once necessary but even in these
cases Dr. Hogler says that the use
of the radium is frequently helpful.
You can thus see that ra/dium by
acting on cancer goitre and other
growths is a wonderful help in those
cases where other forms of treat-
ment are dreaded or might be dan-
gerous. '

The" Longest Sermon
(New Statesman and Nation)
A clergyman is reported to have
committed an unprecedented crime
at Los Angeles. This was the Rev.
Dr. A. F. Futterer, President of the
Hollywood Bible Knowledge Society
who broke the world's record bl'
preaching continuously for twenty
hours. According to the New York
correspondent of the News Chron-
icle, the record was previously held
by the Rev. C. Z. Brown, pastor of
the Negro Baptist Church at
Washington, who preached a
sermon that lasted fourteen hours.

despise flesh-floods andy advocate

during the twenty hours of the
sermon he tasted nothing but an
occasional sip of lemon-juice.
That this was efficient is clear
from his statement: “I felt better
when I finished than when I began
and my voice showed very few
signs of strain."

 well so far. The thing is to keep ordinary preacher, not of the
` it {,`,tM¢_ . ` sermons of men of genius. But
even genius would be unendurable
in the pulpit for twenty hours. We
will cheerfully endure more at the
hands of novelists or dramatics
than at the hands of clergyman.
This, 1 think, is partly due to the
fact that we secretly resent preach-
ing. We all long to preach, and
we all object i.o being preached at.
From our earliest years we aspire
to do good to others by admonish-
ing them on the error of their
ways. It seems extraordinarily
difficult to be virtuous oneself, but
it seems extraordinarily easy for
other people to be virtuous if only
they know 4 how, and one longs to
tell them how.-
