The roads at prcsent are in a disgrace- ful condition. Complaints from 811 sides by people coming to the EX' hibltion prove conclusively UWC the tearing up of the public thorough- fares in .miy was e scandal and ll danger to public safety. It'is not within the jurisdiction of the Lea Government to order any new work, and, this being the case. surely it is up to the Government to indicate how soon it is prepared to vacate office to make room for its successors elected on August 6th. ` Afraid To Strike Our local contemporary now wants “a Royal Commission ap- pointed to probe to the bottom the matter of campaign funds.” Coming from a newspaper which suppremed all reference to its par- ty's connection with the Beauhar- nois scandal, this certainly is a surprising volte face. It will be recalled that during the last session of Parliament the suggestion that the sources of all federal campaign funds, of 1925, 1926 and 1930 should be investigat- ed by a. Royal Commission, was put forward by Mr. Mackenzie King, Leader of the Opposition, for the obvious purpose of distracting at- tention from the damaging revela- tions made with respect to con- tributions to his own party by the Bcauha.rnois.interests prior to the election of 1930. While this propos- al was evidently not intended to be taken seriously, Premier Bon- nett replied that the Government would appoint a commission in the event of any charges being made touching either the sources or the uses of campaign funds. As no charges were forthcoming, either from Mr. King or any of his licu- tenants, Parliament rose without further action being taken. 'i If there was any newspaper that had less to say than our contein- porary about campaign funds dur- ing the whole progress of the par- liamentary investigation into the Beauhamois matter, we have yet lo hear of itl The Lea Government organ also gives belated approval to the sug- gestion that a Royal Commission should be appointed to investigate Charges made in connection with alleged interference in the matter of Prohibition enforcement in this Province. We also believe that a thorough inquiry should be made, even at this late date. The proper time for such inquiry, of course. was following thc very serious nl- legations made in the McGulrk lase before the Prohibition Magis- irate-allegations which were com. pletely ignored by the Lea Govern. ment and suppressed by its party newspaper, which has not yet seen fit to publish, except in garbled form, the evidence brought out at that hearing. Equally insincere is the defeated Government organ's present attit- ude towards the election results, which it professcs to find suspi- cious by reason of the number of ,votes polled. It asks: "Were there Improper or illegal practices car- ried on?" Why ask such questions when it is in the position of prov- lng or disproving them itself? It ls for the defeated candidates, not 'the elected candidates, to seek for an investigation regarding alleged illegal practices. Of course, the Liberal organ has no ground for its lnsinuation by way of question; it; jg mefgly gngthgr gxgmplg 0( in f0f' the C\’0dltBbl¢ l'nBIlfl€1‘ In which it surmounted them- It is not while being "willing to wound and yet afraid to strike.” I This insinuation is on A pn' with with regard to the vote polled fo that there had N911 b“u°t'b° been the Liberal officials, for onl ities- .__-if---" Action and Vision ments. , for combatting unemployment ried on under Provincial auspices Iso as not to involve any invasion by the Dominion into the constitution- al jurisdiction of the Local Gov- ernments.

From these figures it will be seen that Great Britain is still far from being vi. Reviewing the resent session of Parliament, the independent Daily Province of Vancouver says that “on the Opposition side, Mr. Mac- Kenzie King did not show up as one might have wished an ex-Pre- mier to do." It adds that “he was tremendously verbose and short- tempered,” and that “the Beauhar- Humiliatio`n." The.Oppositlon gain- ed nothing, but lost much, by their time-wasting tactics which pro- nols scandal broke upon Parlia- ment. It was poetic justice. Among the thousands of appar- ently useless employees hired under a. former regime by the Sanitary isters the much-debated Chicago diversion of lake water, was a. big ' squad of lawyers. Their number appeared so excessive for the legal duties possible that the Chicago Bar Association investigated for the good of its own profession. Every week for a year one of its commit- yers explain, when they could, what they did to draw their pay. Some made restitution. Others proved ' their eamlngs. Others were defiant. It was a long and difficult examin- ation, but the Bar Associations committee stuck to it, and when it got through reported the names of _ the lawyers it deemed delinquent of civic duty to the State Supreme the eastern provinces and to cer tain definite evidences that sug se-sts an early end to the depres rant, that "the unemployment an of 1930 has enabled us to survive period of testing in 9, manner de nied to most countries.” One feels certain, comments th dict of history.

HD. , SUGAR IN URINE-N01' ALWAYS ‘ DIABETES One of the little mistakes that is made in the examination by some life insurance companies is the re- jection of every case that shows a little sugar in the urine. Of course many examiners will have the man return and have the urine examined a. number of times before he is finally rejected. The fact of the matter ls that sugar in the urine doesrrt always mean that the individual has dia- betes and will therefore have to re- strict his diet and take insulin for the rest of his life. _ - It is~quite possible for normal in- dividuals to have sugar in the urine at times, and for others to have a little sugar practically all the time, without having diabetes As you know true diabetes means that the pancreatic gland which ln' addition to making the pancreatic Juice for digestion, manufacturers a juice which regulates or maintains the proper amount of sugar in the blood, is not manufacturing enough of this juice and so sugar which is an energy food is thrown out as waste in the urine. Dr. John R.. Williams, Rochester, tells us that the fact that there is a little sugar in the urine has lead many people, and also sometimes their physicians ,to believe that they have diabetes, when the pancreatic gland is in perfect condition and manufacturing the proper amount of juice (insulin). In other words it is unwise to give a patient insulin, when he already ls getting enough for his needs. How is the patient with sugar in the urine to know that ho hasn't diabetes? Dr. William proposes a. method for measuring the amount of insulin that is being produced and its ef- fects upon the blood, thus demon- strating whether or not the pan- creas is at fault. His method has been in operation at 9. hospital in New York City for some time. , If, as Dr. William says, there are thousands in the United States being treated for diabetes when it is not true diabetes, and these thou- sands are living on A restricted diet and receiving injections of insulin, it will mean that patients and phy- slcians will check this up more closely, now that it has been brought to their attention. :.1 'g"f,: _ l"....L. q THE HILL PINES WERE SIGHING The hill pines were sighing, O'ercast and chill was the day: A mist in the valley lying Blott/ed the pleasant May.

Palestine (Manchester Guardian) The growing difficulties of gov- ering Palestine are to a large extent due to s. feeling current among the Arabs that if they are insistent enough they will in time get all they want from a Government which secretly sympathizes with their case against the Jews.

It is much to be hoped that the new Administration of General Wauchope will succeed in making this clear. WN GUARDIAN ~ AUGUST , Sir Joshua Reynolds was the next llmgiish bom artist of dia- tinctiou to follow Hogarth, and one does not have to study their works in the original to be consci- ous of the difierenoo between them. Dne (Hogarth) bold and forceful, interpreting nature, or life. as he saw it-even in the raw: Reynolds restrained and cultured believing that “There is only one doorway to the school of nature, and of that the old masters hold the key." He knelt humbly" at the feet of the mighty" ,and shaped his work according to their teachings. - Had he depended on the in- structions received from his first teacher the nomo of Sir Joshua would not have had the some meaning to British art. This in- structor, Hudson, was probably selected by the older Reynolds be- cause- he was 0. native of Devon shire the birthplace of our Artist; he was meeting with some success in London as a portrait painter, and the seventeen-year old boy would be considered safe in his keeping. After two years with him Reynolds returned to Devonshire and started out for himself, but he became disltlsfied with his work and returned to London in 1744, remaining for another two years. In 1749, when he was twenty-six, he opened a studio at Plymouth Rock, and devoted himself to por- trait work with considerable success. He wanted to study the old masters, however, and confided his ambition to 5 friend, Com- modore Keppell, who was’in com- mand of the Mediterranean Squad- ron. This gentleman invited Reynolds to Ball with him in his own ship, the "Centurion," and the offer was gladly accepted. Sir Joshua remained three years in Europe,div\1dinghistimcbetween Rome, Florence, Parma and other places. Though he studied all the Florentine meters it was of Michel- angels that impressed him most and influenced his own work later. In his methods of 1-ight distribut- ion, chiaroscuro, the influence of Correggio is evident, but the young Englishman did not spend much time in copying the work of any artist. Ho wanted to assimilate without imitating, and studied by examination and o0lupA\’il0ll-- H2 paid a. high price for his know- ledge of Roman art: in one of the damp art galleries he contracted n. chill that resulted in life-long deafness. » Returning to London Sir Joshua was an immediate success. 1-Ie established a studio at Leincester Square in 1760, which was, we are told, "thronged with the wealth and fashion of London" clomorlns to be painted. 1-fe had powerful rivals, too,~ln Ramsay, tho oourt ipainter, Gainsborough, Opie, and Romney,buthis charm of manner and the magic of his brush helped to maintain o. supremacy that last- ed until his death in 1192. His literary talents attracted such friends as Dr. Johnson, Gold- smith, Burke, Gsrrlok, Boswell, and Sheridan; writers and actors all more or less famous. With this group he formed the Literary Club in 1769. - Very few of Reynolds biograph- ers mentioned his hopless love for Angelica Kauffmanu, one of the first prominent women artists, who lived in London between 1760 and 1781. She was hom in Switzer- land butspent most of her life in Italy (excepting the fifteen years lived in England.) Bhe was one of the original members of the Royal Academy in London, and painted the. portrait of its first president- sfr Joshua mynoldsl It was preh- ably while this work was in P\'°' grass that our painter lost his heart. Angelica. made I. most un- fortunate marriage later: one that resulted in much unhappiness and A separation. Reynolds never married, yet he must have had a deep understand- ing of child-nature. He is at his best in studies of childhood: "The Age of Innocence," “Misa Bowles," with her dog, “Angel Heads", which is five different mm of the head of little Frances Isobells Gordon, no all singularly sweet and appeal- ing.
