ln Great Britain there has been trouble among the

Germany is still boasting, and she has some ground for

illcl-orner of Pownal and Water Street Saturday' morning was all t-vent of little collsequencc. under such circum- stances. the only damage being the breaking of a lantern ---as thcrcllslppcned to be nothing else directly in the way. The man who was carrying the lantern WGS DQPYIBPS uncomfortably near a much more serious loss but “a miss is as good as a tulle" when a building falls.

The consequences, however, might have been VHF!

llluclt more serious; children are ill the habit of playing on thc sidewalks; men and women are in the habit of walking on the sidewalks and this llablt would no doubt have brought many children and melt and women to the scene of the collapse had it occurred during playing or walking hours. l~`ortutlately lt occurred early ill the nlornlng, bc- fore playing or walking began.

This building. we understand. had been regarded with

rt-ar and suspicion for some years-except by little chll~ dren who played-around lt. and by strangers and visitors who did not ltlluw it was rotten and liable to fall at ally moment.

There is verything in a name however and it is doubtful if this, he first blossom of spring will ever be popularly known y any other name than just the simple word mayflower.

“l’m so sorry for people wholive in lands wllcrc there re no ulayflowers. There couldn't, be anything better halt mayflowcrs. could tllcrc? Diana says if they don`t now what they arc like, they don't miss thctn. But I hillll that is the saddest thing of all.

Perhaps ill calling them the souls of the flowers that.

died little Allnc was not so far astray. In any case they grow fronl the remains of flowers that have faded and their coming to life ill the cold claulmy earth, out of the death that held all plants during the winter~is a ressurec- tion miracle.

The mayflower grows ill the poorest soil. lt may bc

pure sand and so poor that everything else refuses to grow in it, but ill such poor soil, sometimes amid moss the ar- butus will put forth its leaves and in spring will blossoln. lt is very modest about it, however. and allows only one ol' two of the blossoms to look ollt from the cdgc uf its tangle of villcs, But when you lift the taut-:lc of' vines, you filld ltiddcll under tile covering of loaves, a wealth of fragrant flowers. People tr_\' to transplant alld cultivate it. but without lnucll success, for it is hard to find in any garden soil as poor as that in which it is in the habit of growing. The arbutus is now in bloonl and will continue until the

last week ill May.

0 the charge that a political “campaign just now seems o us a ghastly crime," alld follows this up with a pressing nvitatlon to “ every Liberal, young or otherwise,” to attend a meeting in the Patriot office. to be instructed in the mysteries of “ how candidates are selected, how the different districts and wards are organised, atld what the policies of the two parties are." " It will not take a great deal of your time." the editor pleadingly adds. We readily accept this last admonition so far as the policy of the Liberal party is concemed. tor, like the famous chapter headed “ Snakes in lcelaud.” “ there is none " to explain- at least just at present, until Sir Wilfrid decides what will be most opportune.

are the opening words ill our contemporary's two editorials yesterday. Like many other good texts, however. it suffers ill both instances from mislnterpretatlon and mls- representation by the exegete. In the first place, a Govemment that provides for something like $30,000.or $40,000 of current expenditure in the previous year's accounts and still shows a surplus. can stand any amount of juggling criticism without suffering any harm. In the second place, “ the staggering, heartbreaking reports from the battle front" are not going to provide a shield to Sir Wilfrid and his satelites when they are called to give an account of their stewardship. The people want to know where the Liberals now stand in the matter of war policy. Do they intend to continue their opposition to imperial defence as exhibited during the Naval All! Bill debates and on the war Budget in the late session? Liberal politicians and press must clear their skirts before they can hope to rally to their " white plume " thoughtful persons. "young or otherwise."
