Mr. Lea has troubles‘ enough to make him short-tempered and arbitrary, and moreover, he has‘ not the disposition or training for‘ leadership, being inclined to insist‘ upon his own way regardless of con- sequences. and that is the surest way possible of causing revolution and disaster. If it be the case. as the Premier claims. that Mr. Butler, a member of the Governmenl- Wiihed ' to be made Minister of Agriculture, who is Mr. Lea. that he should de- cub off-hand that Mr. Butler was unfitted for the portfolio? Surely Mr. Butler could have carried out the duties of the offlceequally as well as Mr. McIntyre has discharged the duties pertaining to the portfolio of Public Works, or even as has Mr. Lea the duties of Premier? Mr. Lea may think differently. of course. but ‘that only indicates there may be snore truth than fiction in the sharge of autocracy laid against him by Mr. Butler. On the other hand. is it not the case that Mr. Lea is ‘in- clined to grab all the more important ofhces in the Government, leaving the other members with practically nothing to do. not even to meet and give advice? Herc are some of Mr. Leo's offices: Premier Minister of Agriculture Provincial Secretary-Treasurer. Minister of Education President of the Board of Educa- tlon. ‘Chairman of the Trustees of Fal- conwood. Moreover, all these portfolios and cmces, as well as that of Attorney- General, are held by Prince Coimty. leaving King's with only the Min- istcr of Public Works and Queen's with nothing at all. Surely. then, Mr. Butler has sumcient ground for revolt, and may feel fully justified in leaving a party which would tol- erate such monopolistic and auto- cratic domination. Mr. Butler is the first to have the courage openly to revolt. but there In lnaQ others only waiting the op- portunity of ‘an election to follow his example. The time is ripe for a change. He Knew Canadians ‘The name of the late General Sir Horace smith-Dorrien is seldom as- sociated with the record achieved by the Canadian Corps in France, yet it is one which should be held in rever- dritinl regard by Canadians. more es- pecially by those of the old First Di- vision. A writer in the Manitoba Press thus describes how the Canadian troops cune to be truis- ferred to Smith-Damon's command u‘. the Second Army on the eve of the ‘ever-memorable Second aims b: Ypres. It is l bit of "inside history" which has yet to be incorporated in the official records.

If this doesn't help you see a doc- tor." I came across the above few lines some ilvesks ago and couldn't help but think how far seeing was the writer. You and I were meant to be haPPy. to feel the joy of being alive. Life wasn't handed to us just as an ex- stence in which we put in day after day without hope or happiness. And so if you are not happy there must be a reason. You ivill iivfice that he speaks of something worrying you as a cause of your not being happy. Now this may be something that is not in your power to control—loss of loved ones. sickness in the home, un- employment, financial losses, and so forth. All you can do about these is to try to play how best to endure or to meet them. However if there are not these things to worry you. and you feel "loss happy" than you should. then sock the reason, for it must be from some physical cause. Physicians in charge of the wel- fare work of large industrial plants, tell us that Monday morning is the time when most sickness is reported. more employees with a disinclination to work than on other mornings. To many individuals Monday is the '"bluest" day in the week, the day ivhen they are "less happy" than usual. What is the reason that Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday has not fitted them for a bright happy Monday? Bccziuse some of them eat and sleep too much. with no opportunity to use up the extra food eaten, by exercise. This is only natural. because after working all wcck. or bcing confined all week, it is only to be expected that when the opportunity comes that permits them to "lie in bed" in the morning they are going to grasp it. Also with appetizing food‘ and plenty of time to eat it. with no car-rs E on the mind, more than the usual amount of food is going to be eaten. Why does food cause "blueness" or ' tiredness"? Because of the waste from this extra. amount of food. which was too much for the liver to cleanout of the blood, is carried to all parts of the body. Wastes act as poisons. Just the same as the wastes from bard work of the muscles also act as poisons. If you must rest during the week end. or any time in fact. don't eat too lmuch or you are likely to be “less 1 happy." and they may even be worse before ‘ ‘ Unfathomable Sea! whose waves are years.

The local sit- ‘uation is probably the worst in Can- ada. The gentleman in charge of the Maritime Provinces would evidently ;o Mr, lvlaekenzie King one better. as it is quite evident that if he can manage it. we the sportsmen of the country will soon not be allowed to fire a shot at anything. ‘This gentle- man calls the birds "the beautiful things" and evidently belongs to a society which believes that all birds should die a natural death and be given proper burial. But Ls this the sort of man to place in such a pos- ition? Yes, if we ivant the great maj- 'ority of the game birds to go to the , , States for the benefit of the Amer- ican gunner. but the sportsmen of Canada and certainly the sportsmen cf Prince »Edward Island do not be- ‘ lieve such a man is suit-able to admin- ister the authority which i: vested in a Chief Inspector under the Migrat- ory Bird Act. _ About ten years ago shooting of geese and brant in the Spring was prohibited. This was a. sad blow to .many sportsmen who could not do ‘any shooting in the fall of the year. ‘Besides this the fall shooting is a most diflllcult and in many cases a ‘hazardous undertaking. as the birds g") to sea and are extremely difficult to approach. Why this was done was never explained to the sportsmen of PrLnceEdWard Island. The‘ Island ivas simply committed to this thing without consulting ai-vbodv, Wfitrn I spoke of it to a Canadian gentlemen residing in Dakota. he laughed and ,:aid "Well if you don't do your shoot- ing in the spring you will get mlghtv‘ ‘little game in the fzill."

And. he continued, "if all the geese a:.:l brunt shot on Prince Edward 1511x121 in a season "were counted. titey ivculd not amount ‘.0 more than an hour's shooting by these hired gunmen." It is a rank iii- iusticc to Prince Edward Island sportsmen to have such a regulation and those cf us who have travelled extensively Ln the States know why. As a. prominent magazine once said: "‘In Canada and Great Britain, when a law is put in force. the people obey it. and as a rule it is not put in force ivitnout due consideration. but in this icountry (U. S. A.) the first question after a law has been placed in the statute; of the country is-haw can we avoid it? Coming back to the ‘local situation. it willbe 181116317176?- ed what happened in connection Ewith the plover shooting. ‘These are lei-ls boos which the Inspector under i‘ the Migratory Bird Act refers to as “those beautiful things.“ Our open Iseason for plovcr was August the ‘iscb, and this am was changed m ‘September the lst some years ago. ion the plea that gunners going aftcr plover on the 15th of‘ August were am to shoot young ducks before they were full grown. Immediatoly follow- ing that c complete prohibition of shooting of shore birds. plovei-s. etc. was. put in force. As a sort of left “ handed Joke snipe and woodcock were excepted. and it is a joke for two ‘reesonsu ittokessn experttoflnd ‘them and an expert to shoot them. One sportsman tells me that lie has not seen a Woodcock in ten years on Prince Edward Island. ‘Mr. Inspector now proposes to move the ducks on up tn the 15th of Sep- ‘tcmber sndstill cracks his little 1m ‘at the Island sportsmen by extend- ing the season to the 31st of Decom- ,ber on Prince Edward Island. Mr. Inspector must have his little laugh —that's all there is to that. But i the sportsmen of Prince Edward Is- land have little cause to laugh. This moving of the duck can uuon to Zine 15th of September from uis m. c.’ September. and extending it from ‘the 15th o! December t0 December 31st, is but a preliminary to doing ivith the ducks what was done with the plover, viz. stopping duck shoot- l:‘.g completely. There is no question l‘. my mind about this. This “bird inner" Inspector will endeavor to preserve "his beautiful things" till ‘all that is left for us to do is ship ‘our guns to friends in the States, as we will have no more use for them.

But fan- . atlcs and extremists must not be per- mitted to exercise authority in such matters, or trouble is inevitable. For instance it is proposed to open the duck shooting this year on Septem- ber 15th instead of the 1st of Sep- tember as usual. Notification of the public to this extent commenced a- bout August 15th. and in n. most in- adequate manner. The result will be‘ that not 10 percent of the Island’ people will know of this.
