E R SPLENDID MOVEMENT l The Boy Scout movement is much i ; in the public eye at present 011 M- 5 I count of the big Jamboree to be held ' 4 shortly in England, at which several ` ithousand Canadian boy scouts in- i cluding three from this city will par- ticipate. Of the movement and its im- lportance Sir Alfred Hopkinson, I member of the British House of! 1 commons, said recently: . , "If I were asked what is the very' ,best educational movement that we ‘know of within recent memory. I should say without hesitation that it l is the Boy Scout Movement. It is the 3 finest kind of training that you can § possibly have, and it costs the stew Epractlcally nothing. The first thing ithat a Boy Scout learns is service. }The second is observation, and he , also learns the love of his own coun- itry. These- boys, when they I0 WV ‘into the country-which I hope' we i §r.hall preserve against all the horrible fthings that are overcrowding it at l present -take care that they do not I destroy bird life or flower life, while gif they camp anywhere, they do so i in a manner which makes the land- Fowner where they camp recognize 3 that these boys care about the beau- l ties of the countryside." A QUESTION OF POLICIES | The great difference between Con- ; servative and Socialistic ideals, which was strikingly exemplified during rthe heat of the political campaign ,ln Great Britain, was never better ‘expressed than by Disraeli half a century ago, when he said: "In a progressive country change 'is constant: and the great question is, not whether you should resist r change which is inevitable, but whe- out in deference t/o the manners, the _ customs, the laws, and the traditions ,of the people, or whether it should 'be carried out in deference io ab- ,stract principles and arbitrary and general doctrines.” l i I EDITORIAL NOTES _-af The Department of Public Works E will not be judged by the amount of 1 rainfall this spring, but by the I methods it employs to keep the roads I in good condition.

Owners and those who have a fancy for dogs do not share these views, but they seem to be in the minority. The British election: serve to re- mind us how many of the leading staicsmen of the Mother Country have a world-wide'fame and influ- ence quite in advance of the stand- ard among leading public men in Canada. Sir John Macdonald in his day was recognizeul as a man of lm-. perial stature, but where is there now in Canada a statesman of qeual eminence, who is recognized as such? “Rich in saving common sense" was a phrase used by Tennyson in his ode to the Duke of Wellington and this quality is perhaps more preval- ent in England and Scotland than it is elsewhere about the world__ In this lies the hope that the United Kingdom will emerge successfully from 1 the troubles and perplexing problems which existed before the election and to which the election result has added new features. The changing fashloru ln dress, many of them rather- imbecile, in- volve great cost to those who follow them. Humanity might leam a use- ful lesspn from the birds in this mat- ter. Many of the winged tribes of the air are very beautifully attlred but all in a conservative fashion that has not changed in style or coloring ln a thousand years. The birds have, however, an advantage over us poor humans in the fact that they grow their own clothing, each for itself and it costs them nothing, which we cannot do. The lae‘lr of sunshine in this Pro- vince has been conspicuous during weeks past and frequent shower have delayed farming operations. In the time of the sturdy pioneer set- tlers there was a rule among many farmers not to stop team work in the fields until the rain was coursing down the horses’ sides and briskly dropping from their bellies. Field workers are more careful now not to work in the rain. Sunstrolre from excessive heat in Ontario were reported recently. Our own province and the Maritimes generally have not been afflicted in any such fashion. Will Lloyd George hold the "bal- ance of power" in the new Parlia- ment ss some of his followers as- sert? At this distance it seems that his party was utterly defeated in the election, and of the three party leaders he was the one moat distrust- ed and discredited. Before the elec- tion the Liberal party was said to be solidly united and confident of victory. One would think in view of what hal happened that British Lib- erals might soon be looking out for another leader. 4 THE LAND WE LOVE or nan: nina opposing parties have been engaged mier Gardiner has inherited the leadership of the Government ,from an unbrolrerr lint oi r.lo\mi politic- ians who have ruled the province ainceiiabirthinieimbutlsaleaa able and resourceful man than any of his predecessors.
