:" Belated Anxiety Our contemporary calls belated attention to ".“.fthe danger of permitting the shooting of such " valuable game birds as Hungarian partridge on the pica of damage to fruit trees. The Minister of Agriculture, "Or any person duly authorized . by him", is empowered to issue permits for this V; ‘purpose under an amendment to the Fish and ‘..'Game Protection Act passed at the last session of the Legislature. This piece of legislation— :: entirely agailist the wishes of the Fish and Game Protective :\ssociation whose own suggested 7.‘ amendments were igiiored—was adopted in the E:-'Legislature without discussion, or even explan- tt: ation. This was not the only example of hasty and ill-considered law-niaking furnished during the ‘W two weeks’ sitting of our all-Liberal parliament- arians, whose chief concern, seemingly, was to -;- reach the stage where they could prorogue. draw their full-tcrm sessional indemnity, and go home. Their “efficieiicy" in this regard was warm- _-5 ly applauded at the close of the session by -* their gratified leader. Perhaps it would have been better for the Province if they had made haste more slowly. In this particular instance- ‘. the alarm now expressed by the Liberal party "- organ indicates as much.

But the extinction of non-migratory game ‘birds is not by any means the only danger to {be feared from the existence in this Province

;.. of a. political dictatorship, untrammelled by Op- '3 position, and unscrup_ulous to the point of threat-

ening its supporters with the loss of party pat- , ronage when they prove recalcitrant.

That Vicious Lottery

Readers in Canada as well as the United States will be interested in the following strong- ly-worrled editorial from "Editor and PuIrli'.i'li- er," New York:

“\\i'liile the American Society of Newspaper Editors was cautiously and legalistically talked out of passing a resolution condemning news- column exploitation of the Irish Hospitals Sweepstakes lottery, it is greatly to be hoped that that outrageous imposition on the crcdulity of the American reading public, not to say penny-squeezing exploitation of our most ignor- ant and miserable poor, will be squarely met by

Drilling WitlrDiamoi1ds

The part which the diamond drill played in reaching the entombed men at the Moose River mine is known to everyone. What is less com- monly known is the fact that the name applied to this species of boring equipment is no mis- noiner—the drill bit of -soft steel being actually set with diamonds, numbering from six to eight or more according to its diameter.

The Associated Gas and Electric system with its subsidiary, the New England Gas and Electric Associa- tio nhave already made a large amount. of money out of local con- sumers.
