We have our parasites here as elscwlicre, men who are content to ict others bear their burdens. men who are ii disgrace to their country and whom to he burdened with is a misfortune. These men are usually loudest in their advice as to what others should do anti insist the loudest on what they term their "rights" in the Book of Remembrance to be pith- llshed after the war, in which it is hoped to tell in dt-.tail how Prince Edward island paid its share of the price, there will be names which 'will make their posterity blush. Yet lor these. good men are dying in the trenches, and surfer- lng untold horrors. _ it is not expected that anything short of an invasion make the Patriotic meeting, called for last Tuesday even- `ing, the failure that it_undoubtedly was. The weather was bad and there were other attractions. The failure ot' the meeting, notwitlistanding all this, was regrettable. We do not for a moment attribute the absence of citizens from the meeting to any desire to evade con- tributing to the t'ttiid. Our citizens generally are generous ami when solicited for contributions to any worthy cause are always ready to respond liberally but there is apparent- l_v ti deep rooted :iiitipatliy to attending meetings, It was, we presume, generally understood that the main ob- ject of thc meeting was to present a report as to _what was required of the people and to solicit subscriptions to the patriotic t`iiiid. Believing that they already' knew the need anti quite satisfied that any methods adopted would be satisfactory, they contented themselves with waiting for the collectors. it would have been more satisfactory had the meet- ing been well attended. A movement of this kind re- quires tlie entliusiasm that can be inspired only in the crowd and it is hoped that the :itljoiirned meeting will be hi-ld as soon as possible. There is much organization work to be done and the citizens should be present in force to approve of the arrangenicnts that may be con- eluded. t Tlicrc is a good tical ot' comment on the fact that our military mon wcrc not pri-sent in force but citizens wlin were not present llicmselvcs can ill afford to throw stones in this direction. Ncvertlicless, it is to he regretted that our niilitary ` orguiiization has so tar deteriorated that ii small contingent was not available for parade at a patriotic met-ting. We suggest that when the next meeting is called the inilitztrv be asked to bc pre- sent lu ti body and in iiiiiforni. There' arc, wc believe, enough military men still left in thc City to make ti credit- able parade and their presence. would be an attraction and sin appropriate setting to a patriotic meeting. Bcsidc; this it is quitc possible that, as has been done in other cities, their services might be required as solicitors to canvas the city. The work ot' canvassing, ii' conducted in whirl- wind ftisliion, as is generally done, would be completed in ti day or two. The thing now is to get started and to start right. The patriotic i`iuid will shortly be needed. Otir sol- tiicrs arc, ii' not in active scrvicc, on their \vnfv"iiici'e and their families are to be looked itlter. There will in all u.'r,bal>ilily be willows :ind orphans who must he t-ui‘ei for and the time to prepare for this is now. The other funds are well iii hand. \\'c still owe for the patriotic fund, and the people are ready to pziy their share. HEALTHY RELAXATION A lioudon doctor advises not only his patients but pcoplc gt-iierally to indulge in some light reading cvt-ry day in order to shake off the cloud of iiiclancliolia that threatens through constant dwelling on the horrors of war. _ There are few conditions that are utterly devoid of liuniotir anti perhaps the one that comes nearest to absolute absciict-_ of this saving grace is war. Yet we read of the soldiers .cracking jokes in the trenches, amid the ruin ot' bullets and bursting shells, nlckuaniiug tht- most dcudly oi' thc cncmy's guns and hurling derisivc :Jiouts at thc poor inarksmanshlp of the guuners whose aim failed to carry death into their ranks. And t.liis grim humour becomes contagious among them, and sustains tlieutiu many a ilcry trial, although subdued and quenched often no doubt, when thc stern reality takes it companion or ai friend. But they liaxfc neither time nor place for seiitinientallsui. Only a little less gruesome than thc actual conflict is the constant perusal of the harrowing details of slaugliter of suffering, of inhuman cruelty and the over present fear as to the outcome. in the face ot' all this the London doc- tor‘s advice is timely. Coiiitiieiiting on the advice an ex- change says: To 11 certain few a book of favorite poems has the longed-for effect, A bracing walk docs thc work for others, and to all there should be much that is refreshing to mind and body in ottr bracing October air. We all have our pet luxuries. thc thing to which our thoughts ttirii instinctive- ly when we plan for a real treat. The plan should be to indulge in a hit of such luxury tit the present when we lit-ive got thc misconceived idea that because thc whole world is turned topsy-lurvy we are going to help adjust uiattcrs by kcepiug otir nerves strained to the lirettkiiig point and our minds troubled with the idea that to worry must be otir appointed recreation. Such notions are worse than ridiculous. If Tommy Atkins can play football and crack jokes in thc trenches. surely we can once more seek our favorite armchair. place our feet ut the moat comfort- able altitude and lose ourselves in the engrossing tlirllls of the latest "best seller."

The applicant was rcfusetl a license by the registrar, It was said that there ‘was already a. coinptiuy registered in the Province under the same name, and thc provincial .statute prohibits the grant of license in such a case. The question which has to be deter- mined is whether thc legislation of the Province which imposed these proliilnitioiis was valid under the Brit- ish l\ortli American _-\t-t.
