Legislation was promised in connection with the prohibition law, the election act, the educational system, and the development of the peat industry, while intimatioii was made that in confor- mity with similar steps taken in neighbor- ing provnces, the usual grant to -exhibi-I tions this year would be discontinued. _ The most important change in the con- stitution of committees was the substi- tution of Mr. Paton for Mr. Prowse as the chairman of the committee on Public Ac- counts. 'l`III‘l NE\\' Sl’E.\KEli Congratulations will -be generally -ex- tended today to the Honourable A. P. Prowse, the new Speaker of the Legisla- ture. The distinction unanimously con- ferred upon him is well deserved and We are sure be will conduct the proceedings of the House with dignity, impartiality and satisfaction to all concerned. Outside the govermiient he is the oldest member in the House and is thoroughly conversant with its rules and procedure. It is hoped that the members who have unanimously con- ferred this honour upon -Mr. Prowse will rally to his support and ever maintain his rulings in the interests of the House and for the dignity of his liigh office. Congratulations are also in order to ex- Speaker, Hon. J. S. Martin, who has been promoted to a seat in the government. This is also a well deserved recognition of Mr. Mar_tin’s claims to preferment and a recognition of the importance of the Bel- fast_District, which he so ably and efii- ciently represents. An attempt has been made to create the impression thati Mr. Martin’s appointment to the government is not a promotign. Anyone who knows any- thing about t e legislature -and govern- ment knows perfectly well that to ex- change the Speaker’s chair for a seat in the overnment is an advancement to whie any and every Speaker very rightly aspires. - 0"-** - 'rm-1 wiui i\'1s\\'s 'll-he war news these days doesnot make choolftllgreadingv .yet-reading between the cities must help to grow their own food " y welcomed by the couiitr_v.

Up to the end of last week upwards' of 3,000 men had been placed into khakil by the Act, and tliese, added to the increas- ed fiow of recruits being received under the new convention with the United States, as well as the large number of reinforce- ments obtained by the Fifth Division (Which was never intended to be maintain- ed by the Act) make it absolutely certain that our armies at the front will be ade- quately sustained. In aword, despite ine-_ vitable difiiculties and unforseen delays, the draft in Canada has been and will con- tinue to be a success. . . V Norns A St. Louis young man, recently mar- ried, seeks exemption from military ser- vice, and supports his claim by the follow- ing Biblical quotation: “When a man hath taken a new wife he shall not go t_o war, neither shall be he charged with any busi- ness; but he shall be free at home for one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken.” But the wife of such a man, The Ottawa Citizen points out, could ne- ver be made to feel cheerful. _ Germany will trade with the Allies just so far as the Allies say, and no further. This sentiment is beyond government con- trol in any way. It is in the people. It is put there by the barbarous warfare of Ger- many, its utter disregard of everything that is honorable in the contract of nations and in warfare, for there may be great ho- nor 'even in the conduct of killing. Ger- many is an outcast and it will be an out- cast beyond the lives of any now living.- Buffalo Express. - Vacant lot and home garden cultiva- city labour in food production, leaving the farmers free to grow a larger amount of food for export.
