A COLD DEAL

I v l5; have become accustomed to‘ ' being overlooked or ignored inl matters to which the federal gov- ernment is a party. It has been noted during the recent summer that while practically all the cabin- et ministers were off on jocketting tours in Europe and the United States and elsewhere, only one of them, Hon. Mr. Euler, Minister of Customs, dld us the honour of a short call. He remained with us but a few hours and did us the questionable service of keeping the Customs cruiser, Margaret, away long enough to permit of the land- ing of two or more cargoes of smug- gled liquor. The coldest slap how- ever has been the timing of the vis- it of the Parliamentary Association to this province, so as to arrive here at 4 a. m. Sunday and leave the same night. As stated elsewhere in this issue this is the most impor- tant and representative delegation that has ever visited Canada, its personnel comprising leading pari- iamentarians from every dominion and colony in the British Empire. They were lavishly entertained in every capital and city in Canada. At Charlottetown they will arrive at a time when no official reception can be accorded them and will re- main so short a time that they will learn practically nothing of our province and its advantages and opportunities for settlers which was the main purpose of the Canadian

_ tour.

It has been known for over ayear that this Association was coming to Canada. Necessarily the itinerary would be mapped out by the Fedor- ai government which isaware of the existence of Prince Edward Is- land only on the eve of a federal election. Premier Saunders, we un- derstand, has written to the Parlia- mentary Association asking them to remain a day longer in Charlotte- town but has received the reply that the itinerary could not be changed. The time to have written was when the itinerary was being arranged, not after. Whether the Federal government deliberately side-tracked Prince Edward Island or Premier Saunders was asleep at the switch when he should have been safeguarding the interests of the province is what the people want to know—and what they have a right to know. Someone has blun- dered.

—- FARM AND FACTORY.

‘HE farm cannot prosper without the factory. The latter provides a market for the products of the farm and employment for the sons who do not wish to remain on the farm. Near or far away the factory must make this provision, otherwise there will be neither market nor employment. The factory creates a centre around which a town or city grows. The nearer and larger the urban centre is the larger will be the market, and the more em-

ployment it will provide.

Unfortunately in this Province we have few factories andnone of them large enough to form a nucleus for a populous oomrnunfty or for an important market and this condi-

In this Province the absence of industrial centres is most keenly felt in the need of employment for the sons who for various causes are obliged to leave the farm. It. is rc- grettabie that we cannot provide farms even for all the sons of the farm, but of l ecessity, solne will in any case adopt other caiilngs. We hear much, particularly during elec- tion campaigns, of the free and in- dependent and healthful life on the farm, and the general advice is handed out to all boys to remain on the farm or to acquire one in pre- ference to any profession, trade or calling. The advice is wasted. Boys will and should take up the kind of work they feel they are best adapted to or they otherwise take a fancy to. The ltealibfulness and the open spaces and the beautiful sunrises do not appeal to all boys. There is a natural fiow from country to city. This flow supplies the fresh blot-d on which the city grows and thrives and it will continue thzmvghout til" ages regardless of advice. We need cities for markets and for the em- ployment of the surplus rural popu- lation, and everything possible should be done, politically and otherwise, to encourage industry as well as agriculture. —-——<o->———-

HOW FAR. CAN WE GO?

VERYONE who has had the privilege of watching children's

minds develop, and it is a privilege. has seen how the very young child experiments with the forbearance of its parents. The little one is for- bidden to touch a certain article. The child hovers near the forbid- dent spot, furtively watches its guardian, and takes the first oppor- tunity to lay a cautious finger on the article. If he or she gets away with it the first time, it makes a bolder drive and, unless caught in the act, makes a plaything of the forbidden article.

The adult is only a grown-up child, and generally acts in the same way. He or she is forever trying to see how far they can go, how near to the danger point, how much be- yond the legitimate speed limit. As in the case of the child, we have our guardian who is forever watch- ing us and trying to keep us out of harm's way. This guardian is an in- gncr consciousness which tells us that certain things are bad for us, phys- ically, mentally or morally. The guardian is right but, also like the child, we are ready to take chances. The ‘inner monitor says nothing audibly. Perhaps we, like the child, think the monitor is not aware of our experiment and we do the for- bidden thing, perhaps take a drink of liqllor, although knowing the danger of acquiring a thirst, per- haps sit up late at night studying until our head swims and our eyes become dim, and our intellect is blunted. We step on the gas even after we have exceeded the limit of safety, just to see how much fast- er we can go. We tamper with little habits of carelessness. forget- ting that they may acquire danger- ous proportions. And in all this to find, perhaps, as the child finds, that wo have acquired habits that we cannot break, that we have per- manently injured our health or have won a reputation which may mean ruin.

i-lon will continuefonmany years to come. as agriculture will always be our principal business. In the meantime must "do. pend very largely upon the who centres of our sister provinces for our markets. In years gone bytbo thriving towns in Nova sooth. and . New Brunswick gave us a conveni- sat market for many of our farm products until the fiscal policy of the Mackenzie King Government Cllnoraltled ma: coal and ll-ou lninllan and jrsctically depopillat- Id them. This condition, however, h but alumna. Their mtlvo in-

The monitor, like the child's guar- dlm, is “ever with us and, like the latter, it knows and tells us what h Ind what is not good for us. We all know better than we do, and we act like silly children when we try how far we can go. without being found out. Eventually we shall be found out, perhaps by broken down health, by our ignorance. or per- haps beside our overturned car.

IDITORIAL NOTES

The large rood-‘mschincs have

of coal on stoamsbipo in both the naval and commercial‘ service. Before the War the use of oil fuel on board of steamships was a rare exception. Now, although Great Britain has numerous and extensive coliieries, the use of oil fuel isgen- era! in the Royal Navy and in the newer ships of her great commercial fleets. One many ask how long will the supply of oil hold out in view of the present enormous and rapid- iy increasing consumption.

Stupendous quantities of gasoline are required to operate the prodid- gious and growing millions of auto- mobiles that are now running on the highways of the world. To these must be added the great numbe of gas engines which are being em- ployed in motor boats, in factories, and in driving tractors and other machinery used on farms. And yet the supply holds good. l-low vast must have been the quantity of oil stored up beneath the surface oi’ the earth in the long past ages of the ivorid's history. A kind Providence had foreseen the needsof the age in which we live and had provided for it. It was within the lifetime of personsstii livihg that this giclit supply of underground wealth was discovered and begun to‘be utilized for lighting purposes. Since then

bored, pumped out and run dry, but always new sources of supply were found in various parts of the world, and there are many unexplored where oil in abundance will yet be discovered.

Saint John is to have a new grain elevator, with a capacity of 1,500,- 000 bushels. The call is out for ten- ders and the work of construction is to be got under way as soon as possible. Hitherto the existing ele- vators in Saint John and Halifax have seldom been occupied and very rarely working to full capacity. Big harvests in the West have stimulat- ed the building of port elevators, but much of the Canadian wheat export still goes ollt by way of Am- erican ports; a hundred million bushels are reported to be going this year by way of Vancouver and the Hudson Bay route is being pre- pared to divert the transport to that far northern course- All. this does not tend to encourage hopes of big business for Maritime elevators.

The first frost of the Autumn sea- son has come, nipping some of the flowers and tender plants, but do- ing little actual damage. The pota- toes continue to grow and ripen un- derground, even where the stalks have, wilted. The harvesting of the crop was in many places well under way before the white frost came. The leaves on the trees are rapidly taking on their beautiful Autumnal coloring and will soon be falling. October will pretty nearly finish the process of denuding all our beauti- ful deciduous trees, a few only re- taining a portion of their leafage until November. The pine, spruce. and fir trees retain their dark green coats in contrast with the white snow and remind us that they are still alive.

Next week will be a busy one in Nova Scctla as the election cam- paign draws to a close. Full Con- servative and Liberal tickets tell that the contest will be general in all parts of the Province. The Op- position are, however, at a disad- vantage, having a weak Leader in Mr. Chisholm, I-lisdeadership has by no means satisfied his own party and it is an open" secret that the Liberals intended to choose another at an early day. But the election was brought on andcaught them unawares. The general result of the campaign at this distance seems hardly to be in doubt.

A bye-election in West York. Ont.. set for October 29, will cause a rip- pie in the federal political waters. Sir Henry Drayton, whose resigna- tion to accept an ofilcial position under the Ferguson Government,

If you have ever seen an indivi- dual suffering from an acute attack of asthma you are not likely to for- get it. His anxious face. as he strug- gles for air. gives, you the feeling that death itself is not very far away. ' '

Now although thesp folks rarely die of asthma, its injurious effects upon the body are only too well known.

soviet/smug, as was that of all other medical students, was to try and relieve the distress during an attack: that as folks didn't die of asthma, giving relief during an at-l tack was all that could be done, as the cause was unknown. _ ,

Then it was found that if certain articles of food such asmest, eggs or wheat,,protein substances. were

his attacks. Later it was found that’ the fur of cats, feathers of fowl, hair of horses and so forth, caused zlle attacks in others. - 1. | iNow Dr. Jas. Adam :of\ tells us of a thousand cases ‘chas- thma and the results of his treat- ment thereof.

His records clearly show that food, and other substances are undoubted- ly causative factors, and likewise bad. tonsils. obstpuctionsmaf. the

That "something else" is a, poison. ing of the blood system from som part or parts of the body.

The records show that by the use, of the calomei or other purgatives‘ which clear the blood, the asthmatic? attacks weredessened. .

However the records even more clearly show another important point. -

After regulating the diet. and clearing up any obstruction or 1n- fection about the nose or throat, that where the patient lived the in- door life with no oumoor exercise, the results were not completely $8t15il1¢i>0fl'.,but work or play in the outdoors brought about brilliant re- sults. l Dr. Adam says “the lesson is the same throughout all these, cases- the value of exercise, of a careful diet. of attention to nose and throat.

"The Eighteenth Amendment, as one can now see, was the product of the most mischievous illusions d bscssiol of traditional Alneri an politics." It exemplified the master American illusion of legislative om- nipotence and ennui-competence. It exemplified the illusion that the in- sertion of a rule into the Constitu- tion entitled its supporters to con- sider it settled and to classify it thereafter as an article in a funda- mentalist political creed. It exem- piified one of the worst vices of American party politics, which is to avoid rather than to encourage the effective popular discussion of very ntentio“ issues.

C "In their platform. of 1916, neith- er.of the national parties had lie- clared in favor of prohibition. Yet both combined two years ‘later to run the sword of prohibition into. the Constitution without the auth- orization of a national election even partially devoted to its discussion. The prohibitionists took advantage of the distracted state of mind of the-country during the War and the cowardice of party politicians to force on the American people a doubtful, an extreme and~a fac- tionai solution of a complicated and difficult social problem. They were not trying, as Mr. Hoover says, a noble experiment. If they were, they would have been content with amending the Constitution to con- fer on Congress the power to legis- late about prohibition and equally the power to correct possible mis- takes. Their object was to nail down an arbitrary actionai conclus- ion and make it, no matter what the results, politically irrevocable. The fight to revise the Eighteenth Amendment implies, consequentlym. struggle between traditional Amer- ican icgalism, traditional American reforming dogmatism and tradition- al party irresponsibility for major decisions, on the one side, against the effort on the other side to give additional candor and honesty to partisan politics and a less dictat- orial, more experimental, more edu- cational and more democratic at- titude to American propaganda for reform.
