SANl'I`A'I`ION
The Kansas Board of Health. so we are informed by
a United States exchange, has decreed that the public pen-
holder must be abolished. The reason given is that some
people, while sealing a letter or collecting their thoughts
have a habit of .holding the pen in the mouth. and that
thereby there is a danger of transporting disease germs
to the next person who seals a letter or collects his
thoughts in the same way. lt might be said just here that
people who put a public pen holder in their mouth deserves
all the germs they can get-and the chances are that the
germs will get the worst of it. All the same it is doubtful
if much evil can follow the common sense use of a public
penholder, and it is a great convenience in post offices or
other public places in which it may be necessary to use a
pen. it is doubtful also if its discontinuance in the public
offices in Kansas will be regarded very favorably by those
who find, when about to address a letter. that they have
left their fountain pen at home-if they had one.
It is quite possible to carry the germ hunting idea too
far. We cannot conveniently abolish the use of nickels and
dimes because some people persist in putting them in
their mouths. These, at least, are among the things that
cannot be supplied on the "individual" plan and destroy-
ed as soon as used.
There are many real dangers which ai little thoughtful-
ness might minimize, while there are many also which are
unnecessarily placed in pc-oplc's way. Possibly thc source
of greatest danger is the common school. Here children
exchange pencils, books and other things, many of which
have been held in the mouth or in a filthy pocket, and
children will not readily be cured of the habit of cx-
changing or "swapping,"
As a result of long continued preaching against the
use of thc common drinking cup in school the individual
drinking cup has been introduced into many of our island
schools and no sooner were they introduced than thc
chiidrcn began “swapping” them, forgetful of the germ
theory. ‘There are perhaps few germ carriers that can
equal the common drinking cup and it is blamed, and we
believe, justly, ofbeingat the bottom of many of the ob-
scure cases of tuberculosis that neithcr home environ-
ment nor heredity can account for. The individual cup,
for thc reason that it is not individual but generally used
in common by innocent children, is little better and ln
ihose schools in which it has been introduced it should bc
the teachers aim to make it really individual and to im-
press upon childrcn the ncccssity of carrying out thc in-
tention ot' its introduction.
in our city schools tho introduction of sanitary drink-
ing fountains would be in thc iinc of progress. The cost
would be trifling and would bc more than compensated for
in the satisfaction of knowing that at least one more and
perhaps thc greatest danger to the health of the children
had been removed. A few such fountains in public places in
the city would bc a boon and would be appreciated by
visitors as well as by citizens. One progressive citizen
has installed a sanitary fountain at his place of business
and he luis thc gratitude of many visitors to the city. if
more of our business houses were to follow his example
they would find it to their own interest as well ns a boon
to their customers. in the market building particularly
where crowds congregate on market days, such at fountain
would fill a long felt want.
We trus t our city fathers, now that they arc laying
their plans and arranging their estimates for the coming
year, will find a way to make this necessary addition to
._._i__i_0_
FEELING THE PINCII
The war has now been in progress about 180 days. To
say nothing of the cost in hunmn life, for which i\o provi-
ous war in thc history of thc world affords a parallel, the
cost in actual money and monc_v's worth, is staggering. The
cost is estimated nt $50,000,000 a day. This, multiplied by
180 will give a string of figures that will have no meaning
,even to a Rockefeller, and yet the cuormlty of thc cost in-
duces questioning as to what is to come after the war, how
settlements are to be effected, how thc bille are to be paid.
Prince Edward island. oi' whose productiveness and
progressiveness we sometimes boast. produces annually,
in round numbers about $10,000,000. When we remember
that, if we spent nothing, hoarded all our products ami
"salted" the proceeds down for 11 war fund. it would rc-
quire five years to lay by enough to pay for one day's
fighting, it will give us n vague lden of .what war. means in
material cost alone.
How long can this expenditure be maintained? Those
who speak for thc nations involved say it can be kept up
for years. They may be right as to that, but there ure
signs of wear and tt-ar. Ono of them is the resignation
of a Germnn_Minister of Finance for reasons relating to
the second instalment ot' thc sincws of war- 8,250,000,000.
According to accounts from Berlin. these reasons were
serious enough to prompt his rctiremcnt.
Still more suggestive is the new ruling of` the British
Treasury forbidding capital issues to any part of the globe
not included within the limits of the Empire. it is hardly
mo much to say of this order that it startled the financial
world. A Boston banker describes it as the most moment-
ous announcement made in living memory. lie interprets.
It. as a tacit admission that the richest of the combatants
is beginning to feel the strain and needs all her money to
help bear the burden. it will be remembered that n few
days ago she lent Roumania $25,000_000 and that, apparent-
ly. there is no limit to her resources. Yet she has taken
this precaution. _

CIQIMATE IN WAR ZDNE
...._-
Many are anxious to know something of the weather
under which our soldiers live in the trenches
and on the battlefields. A writer in the Review of Reviews
gives a number of interesting facts from which we repro-
duce the foliowing:--
' The winds are prevaillngly from western quardrants,
and therefore blow from great bodies of water-the Atlan-
tic, the North Sea and the Baltic-giving to the adjacent
'lands much moisture and a. moderate range of tempera-
ture; and the weather is very changeable. under the in-
fluence of a constant procession of "highs" and "lows"
(anti-cyclones and cyclones). though hardly so change-
able as in the Northeastern United States, because Euro-
pean storm tracts tend to run far northward, over Scand-
inavian and Northern Russia, so that the regions where
fighting is now in progress often feels only the brief bor-
der influcnce of these passing disturbances.
ln the western war zone the lowlandsbave virtually
a marine climate; the summers are cool, while winters
are generally not cold, measured in terms of the ther-
mometer, though they are so moist as to be extremely un-
comfortable to men in the trenches. “Zone weather (ou
the Fahrenheit scale) is not unknown in this region,
though it occurs only at intervals of several years. Snow
falls on several days each winter, but it is almost never
heavy. The winters are cloudy and foggy. in the high-
lands, such as the Ardennes and the Vosges, the winters
are decidedly rlgorous,and the snow is often deep enough
to interfere seriously with military operations. On the up-
per slopes of the Vosges winter temperatures of 10 de-
grees below zero (I-`ahr.), are not uncommon, and the
snow lies here half the year round. Throughout the \vest~
ern war zone the temperature during an average summer
rarely rises above 90, while hardly once in a decade does
it rise to 95. All in ali, this region has cooler summers,
milder winters, more clouds and fogs, and more frequent
but lighter rainfall than the Northern United States.
The theatre of operations in the East has a transition
climate between the marine conditions of Western Eur-
ope and the continental conditions of the interior of Russia.
The summers are hotter and the winters much colder than
in the region just described. The climate of East Prussia
is somewhat tempered by winds from the Baltic, yet in an
average winter there are from forty to fifty days on which
the temperature does not rise above freezing in the after-
noon, and there are from 110 to 140 nights in the year on
which the thermometer falls below the freezing point. At
Konigsbcrg thc temperature does not fail below zero nor
rise above 80 in a normal year, but inland the range of
temperature is much greater.
In Russia Poland snow lies on the ground from sixty
to eighty days in the year, and the rivers are generally
icebound from the latter part of December to the beginning
of March. Temperatures above 90 are not uncommon in
summer.
Galicia has short, hot summers and long, cold winters.
The severity of the latter is especially due to the fact flint
the Carpathians prevent the ingress of southerly winds.
llrzeniysl has in recent years known a minimum tempera-
ture of 13 below zero, and Lemberg 18 below, though in a
normal winter the temperature rarely falls more than 5 or
6 degrees below zero in this province, except in the moun-
tains. The snowfall is abundant.

A NEW FISHERIES QUESTION
A question has arisen between the Province of Quebec
and the Dominion Government with respect to the right
to fish in tidal waters.
The ownl-rship of thc fisheries of thc waters of Cuundu
has twice in.-cii before thc ,ludicul tiommittcc of thc l'rlvy
(`oun`cil, but in neither case was thc decision so clcar and
comprciieusivc as to cover all the issues. In 1839, when
thc first test wus liad,thcrc was left by thc Judicial (Iom-
tnlttec a doubt as to whctlicr thc control of the tidal fisher-
ies, apart from their regulation. was vested in the federal
or the provincial governments. in the case of Qucbcc an
understanding was reached whereby the administration
of the fisheries of thc south shore of the St. Lawrence lliv~
er and Gulf and on thc north shore as far cast as Point dos
Monts would he cared for by the province, whilc thc feder-
al autiiorltics would continue to administer thosc cast of
thc point mentioned. This arrangement continued till thc
present ycar. _
in liilil, a case arose in which the Province of British
Coiunibia wus one party and tiic Dominion thc other. The
Dominion made certain claims as proprietor of lands ced-
cd to it by thc province. its position was in effect thnt of
an individual who has purchased from thc Crown, as rc-
presented in the province, and claimed as proprietor fish-
ing and other rights that pertain to ownership. in thr-
matter the issue affected only British Couimbia as a
province, and it only in so fur as the lands in question were
concerned. The Lord Chancellor, howcver, in concluding
his opinion, made some general remarks on the right of
the public to fish on the sea and its arms or in estuaries.
und intimated that interference with such right could not
bc within thc power of the province.
Evidently this was regarded by the Dominion us of
general application, and accordingly notice was glvcn on
bchalf of thc Department of Naval Affairs, which has
charge of the fisheries of Canada, that from January I.
1015, the administration of the tidnl fisheries of Quebec.
controlled under the modus vivcndi by the province.
would be taken over by the federal authorities, and that
no one would henceforth be permitted to fish therein ox-
ccpt under a federal license.
The Province of Quebec retorted to this with a
notice to the parties concerned that the British Columbia
decision quoted did not apply generally, and that any per-
son wishing to fish in the tidal waters of the gulf and river
must apply for a license to the Department of Colonization,
liiincs and Fisheries. The situation may be somewhat
awkward for those concerned with the fisheries; but, pend-
ing judgment on the issue, their case will doubtless be
considered by each party to the dispute and the annoy-
ance reduced to a minimum.

The isle of Mun, says the London Chronicle, has a code
ol laws entirely its own. The island has never been ruled
by the laws of England. These happy Islanders have no
armed forces to maintain, no income tax, death, estate
or stamp duties to pay, and their customs dues are in
most cases on a lower scale than in the United Kingdom.
Many women. too, have special privileges. Every female
adult, w idow or spiuster. in the isle of Man, whether she
is owner, occupier or iodger, has a. vote for the House of
Keys elections. Every widow enjoys half of her husband’s
personal estate. and has a life interest in his real estate,
and she cannot b e deprived of this by will; whilst her
written consent must be- obtained to all transfers and
deeds affecting ‘her hu|bsnd's property. On the other hand
no married woman can legally own in her own right either
money or property in the lilo of Msn; she can have no__
seperate estate unless specially protected before marriage,

ance on the 28th Inst. you make free
to say that the efforts of the Alliance

ing in the interests of temperauoe. has

H0! Dllly io the Province. but to the
cause of temperance hero and else-
where_"
(1) The Alliance has always be-
or favour. We believe that the iuten
tion of the Legislature, when enacting
the Prohibition Act, was to have
offenders who ._ were convicted of
violations of the Act punished accord-
lug to its express provisions, and that
no interference in the carrying out of
its Provisions was ever intended to be
tolerated. ln fact. the Act expressly'
provides that any person who may
interfere with any officer or officers
in the discharge of their duties under
the provisions of the Act, shall be
deemed to be liable to a fine or lm-
prisonment_
lt seems. however. that the idea of
the Guardian and of the Government
is otherwise.
in your recent editorial you say:
"By the judicious exercise of the
Sirtilgiii and the tcndci-ness. the
:justice and the mercy of the law, the
di ink evil in our Province- would
criticise this avowed policy of the
Government. as set forth in me
Guardian, as being distinctly opposed
to the express provisions of the Act.
and claims the further right to show
by reference to specific cases, where
this erroneous policy of the Govern-
ment has been adopted, that the result
claimed for it has signally failed.
Moreover. we claim the right to show
these facts and to criticise this policy
and its result, without being accused
of "political wire-pulling." and of
"degenerating into a thinly veiled
political campaign."
(2) On the 28th November, 1913, as
the result of information supplied by
the Temperance Alliance. convictions
for violations of the Prohibtion Act
were obtained against four offenders.
Dr Michael Donaiioe, of Peakes
SUIUOII; Dr T. V. Grant, Cardigan;
Dr A_. A; Allan, Cardigan; and ltichard
Jenkins, Georgetown. The Act under
which those convictions were made
Sbeviflcaliy declares that, in default
of payment of the penalty imposed
f01'lhWii\l. the oft'ei'idct's shall be com-
mitted to"jaii_ '
What are the facts in connection
with these cases? The flue against
Richard Jenkins wilsfcollected on the
9th December 1913. Mr Jenkins has
not since been convicted and no corn-
plaints against hitnfhave since been
,received by any officials of thc Alli-
3.Il(,'1!_ '
Tin-_ lilies against the three other
Offenders have ucvnr yet been col-
ioctcd. nor have the convictions
against thctn been enforced, notwith-
standing that Dr Douahoe, one of thc
offenders, had boon previously con-
victed of a violation of the Act.
As the result of further information
laid by the Alliance, Dr Allan and Dr
Graut_wcrc. on tho 16th June, 1914,
both again convicted of subsequent
violations of thc Act. Not only have
the convictions against these offend.
` ers made on the 28th November, 1912!,
remained uncolioctcd. 'but the later
convictions of the 16th June, 1914,
have also remained, and still remain,
unenforcerl.
The "judicious cxercisc of the ten-
derness and the mercy of the law"
in these cases was applied by the
Attoiney General himself, and it may,
U10l‘Uf.f€. be assumed that thcso canon
may fairly be cited as a test. as to
whcthor or not this plan of gn.;
Government and of the Guardian for
“reducing the drink evil in our Pro-
vince to a minimum" is or is not
effective.
it will be noted that in the cases of`
these four convictions, all made on
U10 901110 day. thc policy adopted in
the one casa of prompt enforcement
Of U10 \“»0l\\'iCtiou, resulted in the
oileutier going out of the liquor busi-
ness, so far as the Alliance can ascor-
iuin. while in two of_f_he other cases
tho Governmcnt's policy 'of “tender-
ness and mercy" has not had the
snmo result. »
ln bringing these facts to the atten-
tion of the public, and in criticising
U10 Dvllffy of the Government as ex-
emplified in these and similar cases
the Alliance feels that it is doing no-
thing more than its plain duty, with-
out rogard to any personal or political
feeling whatever.
in your next issue we shall state
sonieothcr mntterswhicli the Alliance
and its officials have been bringing to
the attention of the public. in further
refutation of the charges you have
made against us. We are, sir, etc.

drawn between the east coast raid and
the threatened invasion of the Pacific
coast. This latter had necessitated

“ They are determined to see the war
