Considering the economic con- tttion of the country. and the pur- pose for which the present special session was summoned, Mr. King's indulgence in an interminable series of personal recriminations “'35, to lay the least, surprising. It is provcrbialljv difficult for ex- Premzers to adapt themselves to the duties and responsibilities of Oppo- sition leaders. Nevertheless, Mr. King should have learned something from the experience of the past few months. The recent overwhelming defeat of his party was facilitated, if not caused, by his own bad Judg- ment and ill-considered public ac- tions. l-fis position as Liberal leader is known to be as insecure as that of the Prime Minister is strong and im- pregnable. The transfer of his Par- liamentary seat from the right to the left of Mr. Speaker seems to have irked his sensibilities to such an ex- tent that he finds himself constrain- ed to say, like Jonah, “l do well to be angry, even unto death.“ Meanwhile, the business of Parlia- ment will go on and the progressive measures promised by Premier Ben- nett in the election campaign will be put into effect. with or without the _ sympathetic co-operation of the Op- position leader. Blots on the Escutcheon The long record of the Canadian Mounted Police for courage. disci- pline, unsurpassed coolness and com- mon sense in the dischage of diffi- cult duties has been married by the criminal acts of two men who lost their heads. A few days ago, near the Manitoba-Dakota boundary. an officer on duty slew, under extreme- ly slight provocation, a. woman visit- ‘ywith economic expansion.

The Patriot omitted to state that Mr. Weir has an international reputa- tion as a. breeder of Percheron, hor- ses, Berkshire swine and Shropshire sheep. A few years ago he carried off the first prize at the Chicago fair for the best bull, and the gold medal at the Toronto Royal Winter Fair for the best group of Percherons. "June," his original grey Percheron mare, which he had bought for $225. brought him in $3.000 in prize moii- ey during 1929. Furthermore, he achieved this success as a home- steader in the newly-opened Carrot River country, northern ‘Saskatche- wan, by his own initiative and in- telligent application of the principles of mixed farming. If all college teachers entering poli- tics possessed a tithe of the practical qualifications of Mr. Weir, what an asset they would be to any Govern- ment! The British Way William Randolph Hearst's visit to France has been cut short by the French authorities, who have invit- ed him to leave the country. "The only thing that astonishes me," says d’ from the UNI/Ed SlBW-i- FOHOW‘, J.

Notable Silver Jubilee Alberta and Saskatchewan this month {complete their twenty-fifth birthdays as organized provinces of the Dominion.

Editorial Notes A study of hurrlcances made by the tifiably proud of their achievementSi United States Weather Bureau since ' I _me growth and progress they have Iiadc in the brief span of twenty- flve years. There is no authentic re- cord of what the population of Sas- katchewan was in 1905, but the cen- sus 0f 1901 showed that within the area of the province as it is measur- ed today some 90,000 people were living. The current estimate places the actual population at about 966.- 700. The population of Alberta has risen from 103,000 in 1906 to APPYOX- lmafcly 100,000 in i930. Economic de- velopment has been likewise rapid.

This esti- mate, which ls for the year 1928, and the latest available, shows an in- crease of fol! Der cent. over the pre- vious year, and of about thirty per cent. over 1981.

What happens to the hulk 0f l sunken ship in extreme depths ls being discussed in marine circles in Son Francisco. The recent sinking of the S. S. Tahiti in the South Pa- cific at a depth reported to be 18,- 000 feet brought up an interesting argument. One Party contends that the S. S. Tahiti only sank e thous- and or so feet and then continued to float around at that level, complete- ly at the mercy of undersea currents. The other party argues that Whln the sinking B. S.

In the face of this the with Progressives, succcded in secur- iing the malority of the seats in the ‘House of Commons. The tables iverc {completely turned by the election of ‘July last when the total popular vote fol the Conservatives ' was 1,909,955 and for the Liberals 1.714.860, a majority of nearly two hundred thousand for the former. In addi- tion to this every province in Canada, except Quebec and Saskatchewan, gave the Conservatives a substantial majority. The Conservative also made notable gains, the most striking being in the province of Quebec where the total Conservative vote was in- creased from 286,854 to 456,037. Lexislation ls being prepared by the Massachusetts Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals to make it unlawful to use steal trazps and similar devices because of the cruelty they inflict upon bears and other animals which earn their living by preylng upon domestic animals, farm- ers crops, etc. Yes it certainly is cruel to catch these sport animals in such a torturing way but what is the farmer going to do about it? would be more humane perhaps to chloroform bears, wolves, and their ilk but at presen; this appears to be far off. Perhaps some ingenious Yankee may invent some device by which those animals could automatic- ally administer their own chloroform, but in the meantime farmers and others who suffer by their depred- ations must do the best they can with givrs, traps, etc. to protec: themselves. Despite the unemployment in the United States there appears to be plenty of money. The Chicago air- port races drew 70.000 paid customers on one day. The musical festival drew 150,000 and 20,000 were unable to get in. Athletic games drew 60,000‘ and one ball game brought 50,000 paid admlnisslons. These events brought in numbers of outsiders and turned loose considerable more than $1,000,- 000. Henry Ford, the multi-n-iilliouarire car manufactuirer proposes a. ten month year and a five day week with a working day of eight hours, as a. cure for th: present industrial de- pression which he attributes to over ‘productzon. There is something in this proposal that has been left out, to use a well known Irish bull. Are the operaiives to receive 12 months pay for the ten months work and the five day week or are the operatives to do the best they can to earn enough in ten months to provide for their year's necessities? During the last nine months there were 532 fatal automobile accidents than in the corresponding period of last year. Last week there were thirteen deaths from this cause, com- pared with twenty-four in the pre- vious week. This is a grim record, but it is satisfactory to note that the authorities are making a vigorous effort to reduce the number of casu- alties. Evidently plenty of liquor is available in Massachusetts, since 104 persons were convicted last week for operating cars while under the in- fluence of liquor, and 109 were con- vlcted the wsek before. During last week 1.472 licenses and registrations were suspended Or revoked, compared with 1,230 the week before. In spite of all efforts of the authorities, how- ever, there ls grave danger on the streets and highways. and it is noted that many pedestrians are among the victims. It would appear that much more drastic penalties must be meted out in order to ensure greater safety. Quite a number of automobiles have turned turtle on the public high- ways during the summer now ending causing serious and in some cases fatal injuries, apart altogether from the question of recklus driving and over-speeding there must be some- thing radically wrong with mods on which such aocldenu as these can occur. ‘n1; hogbcck road, the deep ditches on both sides, the loosely laid gravel on some sections may well be regarded as amongst the principal In 1926 the Conservatives actually ‘ Liberals combining 1 It: in Massachusetts.

RUN DUWN, INFECTION, RHEUMATISM You are reading daily about rheu- matism or arthritis, as it is called,‘ and that most of it is caused by in- flection of teeth, tonsils, sinuses, gall bladder and other organs and tissues. l Now just why do some individuals |have these infections and others do not? In other words what causes the in- fection itself? ‘ Infection not only causes the arth- ritis, but it causes the ‘run down‘ condition of the body before arthri- ts starts, and often where arthritis never does get a start. ' Research men are now wondering whether the run down condition may not be a cause of the beginning or starting of the infection. Thus a man will work hard men- tally. will become irregular in his eating. sleeping, and intestinal hab- its, and thus the blood going to the difiei-et tissues will be of such poor quality that it does not build up the tissue of the part so that it can withstand the harmful organisms that are always in the body. In this way theseprganlsms, where there is a weak or iopen to attack, are enabled to begin their destructive work. It would seem that stress or strain interferes with the way the tissues should handle food stuffs, and this paves the way for trouble or infec- tion. As you know the drain on the mother with child, is often suffic- lcnt to lessen the amount of lime or other substances in her own teeth or tissues, even when she eats plenty of food and drinks plenty of milk. Also it has been well established that arthritis or rheumatism can be- gin. and be continued in the system, tcstinc. In fact a great part of the | treatment of rheumatism is by the l use of Epsom, Rochelle, or other salts I to help clear out these wastes from large intestine. Enemas, high irriga- tlons, or colon flushing: as they are often called, are now an important part in the treatment of chronic arthritis or rheumatism; Now ivhat about all this? All you need to know ls that to try and avoid fllcllllllltlfm you endeavor to prevent infection by getting enough sleep, enough all round food, and enough exercise daily to keep your particular body in good shape. If rheumatism does start, you get rid of the infection-teeth. tonsils, and so forth-and also get rid daily of the products of this infection which are not only in the joints. but tine also. ___________ ca? 014m.

September 13, was firs; won by the United States yawn fAmerlca in 1851 which was, success- 'fu.l against the Royal Yatoh squadron ,of England in a. race around the Isle of Wight. The Cup was presented by Commodore John C. Stevens and his ‘associates to the New York Yatch ;Club, and since ‘that time there have lbeen many attempts to recapture it. |All of them have been unsuccessful. ‘Some of the first challengers return- ed fcr a second trial but it has re- fmained for Sir Thomas Lip on to be l‘ the gamest and most persistent of all. This is his fifth challenge, and he ihas built five yatchs to strive for the trophy. The first challenger was James iAshbury. of England, who raced his yatch Cambria against the New York Yatch Club fleet in 1870 and lost. He was not a good looser, for he com- plained so much aft/er the race that ithe conditions were alerod and he returned the following year to try again writ-h another yatch the Livonia. Again the challenger complained of the condition which even Americans admit ted were unfair to the visiting times. The lazter came down the footed and again the conditions were changed and compulsory oceanic ar- rival of any yatch challenging was insisted upon. Lord Dunraven was the next chal- lenger in 1893 and there did not seem to be much dispute over the first race. ‘fl-lore were, however certain difficul- ties after the second race in which the American yatch. Vlgllant de- feated the Valkyrie II. When however, Duns-even oppress-ed tlhe third time with Valkyrie III there was much troiiile over the measure- Nearly all the liquor consumed in the great republic comes ,of course, from illicit stills inside the American boundaries. But the government at Washington seems more concerned with stopping the flow from outside than with drying up the domestic springs. The state department at Washington has made representa- tions to Paris, and the French Gov- ernment has not shown very much interest. It has intimated that it re- 'grets the bad luck Uncle Sam is having with his liquor legislation, but it hasn't suggested doing anything about it. Now, as a flnal solution of this portion of the problem, it has been suggested that the United States should purchase St. Pierre, Miquelon and the other islands of the two groups. But the Toronto Globe ob- jects. It says that, if anyone should purchase the French islands it should be Canada, and it urges that a treaty be made with France whereby the latter should give Canada the refusal if the islands are ever put up for sale. ' But France is not likely to part with the islands lightly. They consti- tute about the oldest portion of her colonial empire and have traditional claims upon her. Besides, by fur- nishing a fishing base, they help an industry which France has carefully promoted with the object of keeping a supply of sailors for her fleet con- stantly available. Nor is the value o1 the islands as a smuggling base by 8111' means negligible. For a century and a half they have bootlegged French wines and other goods into the St. Lawrence and the Maritime Provinces, and, during recent years, have become bootleggers extraordin- ary to the eastern coast of the Unl- ted States. Uncle Sam has had so much suc. "55 "m! his Purchases of territory that it is not unnatural for him to think he m" bill’ anything he wishes. He bought Louisiana from Napoleon in 183°- imvinz a total of $27,251,522, or about four cents an acre. H, [bought Florida from Spain in 1321 for $5,000,000. Seward bought Alaska from Russia for $7,200,000 in the six. ties and about the same time offered Denmark $5,000,000 for the Virgin Is- lands. But Denmark held out; gm- a higher price and in , 1917, Lansing paid her $25,000,000. At the Louisiana price of four cents an acre, the nine- ty-three rocky square miles of the French islands would not be worth much. But France's necessities today are not the same as those of Napo]. eon were in 1903. And the price-if there is a price-will have gone up very materially. the nations may find that with the French islands, as with the British West Indies, there ls no price at all.
