Al Whose Expense?
Our contemporary corrects its prognostication
if Friday and says Mr. C. Sr. Ci.A1n Tmunon.
M.L.A., is to be appointed Clerk-not Law Clerk
-of the Legislature. This mtfkes it wors'e.- The
Clerk’s jobis a full-time one while the House
_ls in session, which means that Charlottetown
will be left with but one representative to look
lfter its interests in the Legislature. Whatever
laving, if any, is effected will therefore be at
the e.z‘/wnsc of the elector: of this rotlrtituericy.
This shows the danger and injustice of tamper-
ing, as was done at the last special session, with
the clause in the Election Act dealing with the
independence of parliament. It fully justifies the
strong protests raised by Messrs. DENNIS,
MAcPi-lisa, HUGHES, and other Liberal mem-
bers. Our contemporary insults these gentlemen
gratuitously when it suggests that their objec-
tions, quoted in Saturday’s Guardian, are in-
consistent \vith Liberal economy pretensions.
Perhaps, when the House meets, some of them
will be able to show that the "inconsistency" is
on the other foot! At least, it would not be dif-
ficult to do so. For if it be sound economy to
appoint one member to a full-time job while the
House is in session, 'why not pick out thirty .ral-
oried jobs and distribute them to all the mem-
bers? That would leave every Johnnie Horner
with a plum in his pie. `
Valiant Champions!
In today’s Guardian appears the Hansard
report of the brief discussion in the House of
Commons on March 17, with regard to the fox
fur industry. The United States imposes a 50
per cent ad valorem_ duty on fox furs imported
from Canada. Under the \Vashington treaty, the
Canadian duty on American furs is completely
wiped out, while United States retains its pro-
hibitive tariff against us.
This matter is of particular importance to
Prince Edward Island fur farmers, who are
losing hundreds of thousands of dollars annually
by reason of the U. S, tariff, and who were
given falsely to believe that their interests would
be protected in any trade arrangement entered
into by the Liberals with the United States.
The facts were laid clearly before the Hollse
by Mr. A. J. Bnooics, Conservative member for
Royal, N. B., who seems to be the only champion
A. E. MACLEAN, our Prince County represent-
ative, whose long association with the fur in-
dustry should enable him to speak eloquently in
its defense, said not .a word! "Mr, PETER
S1NcI.A1Rtoo was silent! Dr. GRANT ditto! Onlv
Hon. Mr. DUNNING, our representative by adop-
tion, spoke. As Finance Minister he had ‘to`
speak. What he said 'amounted to nothing mo`re‘
than that he was sorry his constituents had
been so unfairly treated; that there was every
mason why our furs should be admitted to the
United States free on the same basis as theirs

moot feel themselves to be, sitting there in Par-
lllment while the interests of an industry that

The Soviets have had a severe set-back in
their second five years programme due to the
'cussedness” of average human nature. The fail-
ure of several branches of heavy industry to
make a success of the Stakhanov (speedup)
movement, which was being hailed two months
ago as “revolutionary” for Soviet industry, has
caused serious concern among authorities. The
Stakhanov movement originated in the Donbas
coal basin, but it is in that very region that some
of the worst backsliders have been found..
“Pravda,” official newspaper of the Central
Committee of the Communist party, reports that
in “most of the coal trust workings of the Don
basin, the Stakhanov move_r_nent has slowed
down."

The Eskimos are the only people in the
\vorld who don't know what alcohol is, Dr, I. M.
RABlNoLi'rcii told the Canadian Club of Mon-
treal at their weekly luncheon. This situation, he
added, arose from the fact that there is very
little vegetation capable of fermentation for the
production of alcohol. Another observation was
that the healthiest specimen of Eskimo is the one
who has little or noicontact with the white man,
this being supported by their data collected,
which showed that the natives of the Hudson
Bay and Straits tend to dwindle and disappear,
while those in the far north who lead a more
primitive life show greater resistance to disease.
In the further north teeth were dirtier but
healthier. »

` About the only man \vho refused a premier-
ship and lived to thank God he had done so, was
Mr. J. J. MORRISON, Secretary of the Ontario
U. F. O. Cooperative Society, who has just died
at the age of seventy-five. Mr. Morunson was
the successful organizer of the Farmers Party
which carried the Ontario election in 1919. He
was the unanimous choice for Leader and Pre-
mier, but declined to give up his position with
the cooperative, and allowed Mr. E. C. Dkukv
to take the high office. He was “the power fbe-
hind the throne” for a year or so, but -soon found
that other interests had stronger pull. He there-
upon withdrew on the ground of material differ-
ences with the Premier; and in 1923, he saw the
Dnunv Government swept from otlice, which he
maintained was the salvation of the Farmers'
party, as otherwise it would have disintegrated
because the principles for which it had been
formed were being forgotten in the spoil system
of politics.

Ven. Archdeacon Fiutninucx Gnome Sco-rr
observed the fiftieth anniversary of his ordina-
tion to the office of priesthood in the Church of
England on Saturday. There are thousands of
friends who think of him in a triple character,
priest, padre and poet. Although actually or-
dained in England, he was born in Montreal and
educated there and at Bishop’s University, and
subsequently attended King’s College, London.
He was ordained as deacon in 1884 and as priest
in 1886, and ministered for a short period in
England, after which he returned to hisnative
province, taking the -rectorehip at Drummond-
ville from 1887 to 1896. In the latter year he
was transferred to Quebec City, where he held
the rectorship of St. Matthew’s Church from
1896 until three years ago, when he retired.

TRUE AND FALSE PLEUBISY
A woman eufferlllz with intense
pain directly over heart called her
physlclnn who pronounced the
heart perfectly sound. He stated
that the pain was not lnslde the
chest, in which lle the heart and
lungs, but was in the muscles on
the outside of the chest, actually
outside the ribs. Not satisfied, the
patient called In two other physi-
cians who after careful examine-
tlon stated that the pain was ln
the outside muscles and was what
was called false pleurlay or pleum-
dynla. Hot applications or a mustard
plaster will usually relieve this
type of poln.
When the pleure. (which lines
the chest wall and covers the lungs)
becomes inflamed, lt is called pleur-
lsy and ls a serious condition. This
of course Ls lnslde the chest. In
pleurlsy there ls generally some
rise ln temperature, a dry hard
cough, and some dlmculty ln
breathing. A point. that makes lt 1
llttle dlmcult to distinguish 'be-
tween true pleurlsy and pleurodynls
-false pleurlsy-Ls that breathing
or any movement of the chest
causes pain in both conditions. In
true pleurlsy the pain is due to
friction or rubbing between the
lining of the chest wall and the
covering of the lung. In false
pleurlsy the pain is due simply to
the movement of the muscles on
the outside of the chest which are
used ln the act of breathing.
As mentioned above the rise hi
temperature, the hard dry cough
and hard breathing are not found
in false pleurlsy. There is nothing
then to worry about ln pleurodynla.
The treatment in false pleurlsy
is to apply heat, followed by pain'
relieving ulntments, and give the
usual rheumatic remedies-the sall-
cylates-or even stronger .remedies
to relieve pain when necessary.
In true pleurlsy, the 'patient ls
kept in bed. If much fluid ls pres-
ent this is drawn off. Some physi-
claiu strap up the chest ln true
pleurlsy so that there will be less
motion and so less pain with more
chance for healing.
The nrst thought then with pain
tn the chest ls to decide whether
it ls outside or inside the rlbs. (lf
outside the ribs, there will be no
rise ln temperature and no cough;
heat and .sallcylates are all that ls
necessary ln treatment. If inside
the :lbs there will be the cough
and rke ln temperature. This means
rest ln bed and real care by a phy-
slclan as pleur-Zsy may be the fore-

western provlncea to relieve unem-

these men came from different, Eur-
opean countries when conditions
were good. They cams to speculate
and hoard up good Canadian money
and take it back home to their own

The second reason wal that while
Henson was more useful than my
other member of the cxpedltlon.
when lt come to travelling with the
lut party over tho Polar loo, he
would not have been so oomwtont
as the white members of the expe-
dltloin ln kettlng hlmeolf end his
party back to land. If Henson had
been seritbeck with oneofthosup-
porting parties from e distance fer
out on the toe, and had encountered
conditions .sfmllnr to tlxoee which
they had to face on the return-
journey fn 1906. he end hfa party
would never have reached the lend.
While a. faithful supporter, and
when with Peary more effective ln

racial inheritance, the do-rink and
lnltlatlvo of Bartlett, or Mu-vln,
MacMllla.n, or Borup, Pen-ry nys he
owed ltto Henson not tosubmlt htm
to dangers and responsibilities
which he was tempermentally un-_
flted to face. Henson, therefore,
went forward to the Pole and Bart-
lett came beck.
In making the final. duh the
party, as I have stated, consisted of
Peary and Henson and four
Esklmos. They had flve eledges and
forty dogs, the pick of the hundred
and forty with which they had left
the ship. The hundred and thlrty-
three miles was covered between
April first and sixth, when the goal
was attained. Pearyk first task was
to claim the Pole for his native
country. He ran up the Stars and
Stripes, and other enalgns, and
deposited the following memoran-
dum fn an ioe mound;

I have today hoisted the national
enslgn of the United States of Am-
erica at this place, which my ob-
servations indicate to be the North
Pole Axis of the earth, and I have
formally taken possession of the
entire roslvn. and adjacent, for and
ln the name of the President of the
United States of America.
I leave this record and United

ROBERT E. PEARY.

Peary remained at the top of the
world until the evening of the sev-
enth-thlrty ho\lrs~and then turn-
ed about for t.he ship. revered with
beautiful weather the return from
the Pole to Cape Columbo was ac-
complished ln sixteen marches. On
July eighteenth Peary left Capo
Sheridan ln the Roosevelt and after
an uneventful voyage arrived at
Indian Harbor on September fifth.
From the latter point he .sent the
wireless message to his wife and
Brldgmim. as already elated. whlle
Captain Ba.rt.lett'nlso 's-.nt one to
his dear old mother ln Newfound-
land, to whom he ls devoted, telling
her of the safe retum of the party.
‘Immediately the newspapers an-
nounced thnt Peeiy had arrived at
Indian Harbor I took the train to
Sydney. Publication rights for the
North Pole story had been acquired
by the New York Tlinee before
Pear-y's departure fn 1908. but to
lessen the expense that greatjour-
nel hsdsyndlcatedthe fortlioomlns
news articles with a. number of
newspapers ln the Western United
States, while the limgllsh rights had
been acquired by the London Times
from its New York contemporary. I
lmew this before I left Ottawa. but
realized that sport from despatclwe
which it mlght receive from New
York the Thundeier, which I was
then :.,~i-esentlng, would appreciate
e. special story from PGN? which I
might. send after I-had seen htm.
When I arrived at Sydney I found
Mrs. penry, her young daughter,
Merle, and Mr. Brldgman already
there. Three days later Miss Merle

have mentioned had reached. Indlm
Harbor. Newfoundland, Labrador. on
the eighth, but there was no word
when the vessel might be expected
at Sydney. It developed later that
is mlxup in the newspaper publicity
arrangements was responsible for
the delay in leovtnz for Sydney.
When the first pres; mossiko was
rooefved by the New York Times fl
was duly forwarded to the london
Times, on arranged between the
two newspapers. Owing to the dl!-
forcnoe of flvo hours between Lon-
don and New York alert eotiupon-

ln !:ngla.nd were able to "scalp" the
North Pole news from the London
Times and forward lt to their
newspapers on this side. which were
thus enabled to publish lt llmul-
