How many vacancies, political, civic

and official, this community has been

called upon to fill within a brief space l Sir

Louis Daivies` elevation tc the Supreme Court caused a great vacancy, not only in the rdpresentation of West Queens, but of the Island, a vacancy that could notat once be fully filled, for he had made for himself a large place in the public affairs of Canada, in the Cabinet and in the international concerns ci the

command. The constituency did well to send to Ottawa in his stead the late Hon.

D. Farquharson, who was something more than the representative of a single constituency, for he had been our Premier and as such a representative cf the ls- iand. Still we had lost some ground, for the influential Cabinet position which was ours before passed to another. And than the shadowy hand of thc silent messenger made another vacancy in the representation. This we are now called to illl.

It seems needless to say that the strong-

est, most capable and moat influential man we can select ought to be sent to Ottawa at the present juncture. This is

the metropolitan constituency of the ls- land. Our representative, more than the member for any other riding in tha Pro~ vince, will beiooked to as the leader and the spokesman for the entire Island. He ought to be something more than a more

Ipirty man, more than a more represen- tative of a local electoral division. He should be well versed In all the questions involved in our federal relations, our trade

and industry, our varied lines of produc- tion, aur means of transportation and of communication by rail, steamer, mall and

telegraph. Very much indeed for the future welfare and progress of our city and Province will depend upen how we

shall till this vacancy on Tuesday next.

We have been filling civic vacancies sf

late by the election of a Mayor and Coun- cillors to take the places of those whose term oi’ office had expired. We have now I a new Mayor, and tive members cf the

country such as no other Islander could

Council are also new. This brings us face

to face with the question of raontanisation of Council work by the appointment of chairmen for the Finance, Street, Police, Market and Public Properties Com- mittees. Upon a good selection for these several positions much will depend not ‘only with respect _to aiiiciont and econ- omical administration of our affairs, but also in regard to the observance of law

`and order ln the city. And there is al\o the position of City Clerk to be short ly

illled by a new appointment to replace the _careful and enicient Clerk whose re- _sigoation will take eflect on l5th Mareh. Too much care and judgment cannot be exercised in selecting the best available men for these important positions.

There is still another important odicidl

vacancy to be iilled in our midst caused

‘ by tne demise of our late Postmaster and inspector. We think this position ought to be promptly dlied-ought indeed to have been filled before this time. This "is themost difficult and critical season of

the year in regard tc our mail arrange- ‘ ments. It involves no reiiection upon the clicient and capable Assistant Postmaster when we say that with but temporlfl control o'! our postal affairs, he cannot be as free to devise and to act in the intar- ests of the service and of the public as would an ofiloial permanently appointed and clothed with full ofiicial power and responsibility. The appointment of a snccessar to the late Postmaster ought not to be longer delayed, and we trust that it may very shortly be announced.

SOM E IAPANESE PROVi'RBS~

The war now on awakens new interest

in Japan and its people, the land of the

rising sun, the land of lowers, the land of poetry, the land of incense, the land where all believe in pre-existence and in endless transnigrations of the re-embodied spirit after death. Flowers are every- where; the air is saturated with incense in the home, be it palace or acttage, and in the temples; poetry in Japan is univer- sal as the air; it is read by everybody, it is composed by almost everybody irrespec- tivs of class and condition, We are told that wherever there is work there is

singing; the toil of the llelds and the labor of the streets are performed to the rhythm af chanted verse. And poetry appears everywhere written or graven in thousands of verselets on walls, vases,

shop signs, panels, screens and fans. But it is not of Japanese poetry we would

now speak although the subject is a tempting one. Rather let us turn to the sober wisdom which has been embodied

in Japanese proverbs. Here are a few specimens chosen from among thc mary, and such as can be' understood by nil

without explanationz-
