THURSDAY, MARCH 5, I936 "Getting Away With |t” I The poet llfiu-on complained of the tend- Uicy in his day to ignore fixed principles while _ “the dull and droiling carcass to plod on on the old road and drudging trade of outward leaving conformity.” Nothing has a more deadening ef- fect on any community that this substitution of outward show and pretense for inner veracity. Unfortunately there are many today who im- agine that preteniling to be- or do something. and “getting tllvlly with it", is more praise- wortl1_v—-and much less troublesome and ex- pensivc-thaii zulliering to principles of any kind. The avcragc man may be excused for oc- casionally (lcviziting from the straight and nar- row path of principle. But this is not to be ex- diums of public opinion. The press. platforn1-tliese are pccted of inc the pulpit, the public sources which should be free from the contam- ination of that wretched philosophy which con- fuses hypocrisy with virtuc, which puts a prem- ium on bluff and bluster, exalts “outward coil- forniity" and zicclaims, as the be-all and end-all of success in life, the ability to “get away with it." Fffitlllttllll)’ the exponents of this philosophy fail miserably in achieving even this objective. But whether they fail or succeed, the moral rc- oult is the same. it ends in incapacity to discern worth and uiiworth in anything. And it is par- ticularly to be deplored in connection with its eryerting by effect on the rising gencrationj-TP example the naturally noble idea ism of youth, it inculcates c_viiicism with regard to all moral values, and uiuleriiiines the integrity of the whole community by allowing conduct morally blameivorfhy and reprehensible to pass unchal- lenged and unchecked. Mr. Bennett Versus Mr. King The junior Member for Queens has been portrayed by the Canadian Press as draniaticallv waving a letter above his head-which would not be very, very high, not as high as our acting Premier even—aud declaring it was the basis of Mr. BENNETT’s negotiations with Ottawa. Here is from the debate which the Canadian Press did not carry to Charlottetown: ' Mr. BENNETT had drawn the fire of the Prime Minister by making reference to .\Ir. K1N_G’s speech in the House in 192g. He re- minded the House that in 1930 the Haivuzv- SMOOT tariff was enacted at \Vzisliiugton “des- pite the fact that in this House the present Prime Minister had asked this House and the country not to provoke them lest they do sonic- thing more severe than that which they had done.” Premier KING : “I never did anything of the kind.” Mr. BENNETT: ‘Well, it is in Ilanhard, I» can read it." Premier KING : “Read the whole of it. You misread it last time.” Mr. BENNETT: “And that the British pref- blunce should not be increased lcst that might rovoke the United States to further action. ; hose were the statements made by the right honorable gentleman in this House in 1930, about which there can be no possible doubt.” Premier KING: “They are not.” Mr. BENNETT: “They have been read too bften for there to be any misunderstanding as b what they are." “During the election campaign,” said Mr. BENNETT, “I said on every platfomi that I would not become a party to making any agreement {with any country, not even the_ Motherland, that gave anyone a. preference over Canadians in the Canadian market. When I point out what the ef- lfect of this agreement is upon Canada and Can- adian trade, the House will understand why the Government of that day was not prepared to enter into the agreement that has been entered into by honorable gentlemen opposite. We could have made an agreement such as is before the House." Premier KING : “Why didn’t you?" Mr_ BENNETT : “Because I prefer my coun- try to’ office and power. We oppose it_ because it sacrifices Canada, because it is detrimental to the interests of the Dominion. 513C311“ it gives everything we have to give and gets little in return. That is why we object to it.” Not Bennett's Treaty ffiur local contemporary seems incapable of making straightforward statements on almost any subject. Discussing the Reciprocity Treaty in its yesterday’s issue, it falsely attributes to _ Tlie Guardian the statement that Mr. KING “had simply signed the BENNETT treaty." In The Guardian of Nov. 12 last, in which news of‘the signing of the treaty appearcd,_we stated: ‘As full particulars have not been disclosed, we will have the right to zissume that Mr. BENNETT?» terms have been accepted, and that the Reciproc- ity Treaty will result in improved trade re- lations between the Maritime Provinces and our neighbors to the south." On the following day, while emphasizing the value of the spade-work Hone by Mr. BENNETT, we stated: “The extent of his (Mr. KiNds) success in closing the deal l will not be known until the agreement is signed and the terms are revealed.” Unfortunately, the terms as eventually published revealed all too l ‘ clearly that it was not Mr. BcNNETTs 1m"? which Premier KING had signed. That has been the attiéude‘ oonoistently taken by Tho Guardian ~ olhce t e publication of the treaty, and it is as , ‘, useless for the Liberal organ to attempt to mis- lead its readers in this. connection as in other matters otill fresh in "the public memory; eoitcitot “Notes.

THE COMMON COLD AND SINUSITIS Instead of having o. cold" many indlvduals now tell their friends that. they have "sinus" trouble or sinusitis as 1t is properly called. ' Now man has always had sinuses, because these cavities or holes 1n the face or skull serve as a sounding box for the voice. If these sinuses get. filled with mucous or pus, you know how flat the voice becomes, having lost the resonance which these hollow cavities are meant to glve 1t. Most of us think of the sinuses as just. the two big hollows in the up- per jaw under our cheeks, but there are really five sets of cavities on either slde of the face known as the paranasal cavities or sinuses. Als mentioned before the llnlng surface or membrane of these sinus- es is the same as that of’ the nose, and as these sinuses all adjoin or are connected directly with the nose, the lining of the nose simply extends into the sinuses. You can thus see that. an Inflammation of the lining of the nose can extend up into the sinuses and cause the same or a similar inflammation which is called sinusitis. Now if the mucous or pus that ac- cumulates ln these sinuses could simply run downwards and out. of the nose through a good sized open- tug, slnusltls would not be a serious mutter. However the holes opening into the sinuses from the nose are sometimes very small, and also the openings are at the top of the cav- ity and if the mucous or pus is thlok you can see the difficulty 1t would have 1n flowing “upward" to get into the nose and then out of the body. Thus in severe cases of "chronic" colds or sinusitis it. Ls sometimes iiecessa y to make the opening larg- er or drill a hole at the bottom of the cavity to let the mucous or pus flow downward into the nose and out of the body. Our nose specfallslts telhgus that organisms that cause colds or make the organisms that. cause colds more active, are lying 1n these sin- uses of these old or chronic cases of sinusitis ‘and with bad weather, poor health, wrong eating. they cause what 1s generally known as the common cold. Eating the alkaline diet-fruits, vegetables, milk-and cutting down on sait and liquids seems to benefit patients with sinusitis and colds. y Inevitnbly and eventually some- thing will happen to Hitler, Mus- solini and Stalin.

Since the local centres have been opened those of us who llvo in the country have had the some oppor- tunity of reading for pleasure and for profit u though we lived in the largest clty in America. Winter 1n the country is apt to be o pretty dull, lonely season for some, a per- iod during which one he! leisure but few contacts with the outside world. To us all the libraries now offer the opportunity both of light. reading and of serious ,study of agricultural problems and many other subjects. We are being constantly reminded that. this ls an age of change: new inventions anirnew ideas crowd each other 1n a breath-taking con- fusion. New political and economic structures are being built up 1n other countries and advocated 1n Canada. We hear a great deal of propaganda over the radio from the States, some of 1t consist‘ of half- trutho and distorted history.

Farming conditions are changing; too, as changing markets and strict- er gradlng of produce testify. It ls often a convenience for farmers to be able to secure information on various subjects. Indeed, it is a point worth constderlngthrit any young farmer who wishes may VlSIl. his branch library and secure the same textbooks that his neighbour's sou, who may be attending agricul- tural college, studies. It. 1s true that. the term during v whic the Carnegie Foundation has agreed to pay the operating expen- ses of the extension libraries is ul- most expired, but I believe that the institution has pmven its value 111111 hope that if continued 1t Will play ll part. 1n the future growth of our province. In this connection 1 am reminded of the opinion of a cer- tain progressive farmer. In selling a farm, he suggested, 1f it is near a church or a school one stresses that fact, because it. 1s a recognized fact. that. these institutions make the iarm more desirable, hence more valuable.

PROHIBITION AND LOGIC Sin-Tho advocates of moderation in respect to restrictive laws against the sale of intoxicating liquors con- tinually admonish the citizens of Prince Edward Island to take a loti- tcal and practical view rather than an emotional and idealistic attitude towards the whole situation. ‘ No doubt these advocates have considerable skill in argument, iind they have exerted lt-to the fullest extent in pleading for their friend, or client at least, John Barleycorn. But their arguments, though shrewd. are not convincing; and they remind us of the arguments of the fox to the farmer, who ciiiiizht 111m in the act of stealing his 1111111" try ‘The fox put forth the artill- ments that nature had made ii lob of poultry and had given him n11 appetite for them.- and that he 1W5 entitled to a small share of lllPaC while the farmer had always finis- ted on a monopoly.
