Mr. Mitchell cited statistics to show the great increase that has occurred in the prison population of the Unitew States inrcccnt months. lll illne- months, he said, the number of pris- oners in federal rind state institu- tions has increased 6.277. He fur-J ther expressed a fcur that in some instances the limit of the numbers of men who can- be crowded into a given place had not only been ap-r preached, bllt actually exceeded. Stimulation of prosecuting activities will, he said, “get us int-o difficulties." It is declared to be realization of this fact which hm led the United states Department of Justice to temper jus- tic with mercy to the extent of handing out paroles at the rate ofi twelve to ﬁfteen per day to make room in the jails for new offenders.

The Laureateship

" The death d: Rpbctt Bridges. poet laureate. has given rise to specula- tion in llicrary quarters as to the choice of his successor. The office is more or less of an honorary one. but has behind it a noble tradition. The laurel, in ancient Greece, u-as sacred to Apollo, and as such was used to form a crown or wreath of honour for poets and heroes. From the more general use of the term

"laureate" arose its rcstriction in England to the office of poet attached to the Royal household, first hcld by Ben Jon- son, for whom the position was created by Charles I. in i617. The laureatcship was really a develop-

- merit of the practice of earlier times, when minstrels and vcrslficrs WCYE part of the retinue of the King. Sil- William Dlivcnant succeeded Jonson in i638. and the title of poct laureate was conferred by lcttcrs pzltclit on Dryden in 1670,

two years

pension of £300 and a butt of Can-' ary wine. The post then became a 113222: Eastltutlon, though the em- oluments varied, Dryrlcns successors being '1‘. Shadwcll (who originated annual birthday and New Year odes), Nahum Tate, Nicholas Rowe, Laurence Eusdcn, Culley Gibber- (satirlzed by Pope in “The Dunciad.,), William Whitehead, 'I‘liomas Warton. l- l. He, Southey. Wordsworth, Tennyson, Alfred Austin and, in 1913. Robert Bridgos. The office took on a new lustre from the" personal distinction of Southey, Wordsworth and Tennyson; it had fallcn into contempt before Southey, and on t Tennyson’: death there was a con- siderable feeling that no successor was acceptable. Eventually, however, the undesirabllity of breaking with tradition foi- temporary reasons. and thiu severing the one official link bstwccn literature and the state,

l “'35 Eeneralll/ hﬂPPY 111 M5 “umepf What a revelation would be brought 1 ous pocms of this class. As already about if all. or even the greater part

noted, the emoluments of the post have varied. Tennyson drew £72 a

Stcwal-tfs in lieu of the "butt of sack.”

1f, as rumor has it, John Mase- field will be the next appointee, the office will be in safe hands. Mase- ficld is intensely English. His pat-

riotism is not of the flsg-uiagginy

kind. but is deep and reverend. l-lls "August, i914" remains possibly the greatest poclu inspired by the war. in his “salt Sea Ballads," and in ills longer poems "The Widow in Bye Street," and "The Everlasting Mel'- cy," he has touched the hearts of the common people as the late poet laureate. highly gifted in other respects, was unable to do. Mase- field, like Joseph Conrad, was a scaman in his younger days. and saw "strange lands from under the arched white soils of ships" bcforc settling down to literary work in London.

The Reason

If the Canadian farmer is turning protectionist, both for the sake of keeping the home market for him-

rself and of building it up by the

creation of new industries, says the Winnipeg Tribune. it ls hardly to be wondered at. Intelligent self-interest has made him an advocate of low tariﬁs in the past. That was not be- cause the tariff affected his cost of production materially, but because he hoped to secure wider markets. With so much and such pressing evi- dence that the market is contracting, rather than widening, he cannot help bllt see that his economic theories have collided with economic facts and arc now getting the worst of it. if he is turning to protection it is because the logic of events is driving him there. '

That Barmccide Bill

"So fnr as cducatlon is concerned. we know that this Government has done nothing. We know further that the Government is not 8010B to do anything in the matter 0f education. They are. to use a very common expression, simply “passing the buck." 'I‘licy are putting legisla- tion through which will not in any case become operative until after the

after. nut election; and we know where Davcmlniis death, COllplCd with a‘

i this Government will be then.“--Mr. H. D. McLean, in the budget debate.

Editorial Notes

The Literary Digests prohibition poll for April 20 records: For en- forcement. 1,002,745; for modifica- tion. l.l05.683; for repeal, 1,507,683. Total ballots returned so far are 3,705,742. out of 20.000000 sent out.

As far as duties on leather pro- ducts are concerned, Canada may as well "let the tail go with the hide." The new United states tariff re- moves hides and leather from the free list and imposes duties ranging from 12% k1 20 per cent.

In dd- dltion to these there are also 7.126 harvester-combines, as follows; Sas- katchewan, 3,871; Alberta, 3,584 and Manitoba, 27f. Alberta alone spent $3.l98,400 in the purchase of new tractors and combines last year and. . if " ~~ ~.' ~ii;- of the used machines be added, it is estimated that Alberta $15,000,000 so invested. Practically all these machines are manufactured in, and imported from the Tlllitcd States. "The reduction of duties on im- laments of production," which the Liberal Government boasts or having accomplished, makes this importation possible.

Premier Ferguson o! Ontario fav- ors the abolition of dropping exam- inations for entrance to colleges or high schools. "We don't want to be drain- ing the countryside all the time to rill these schools," said Premier G. H. Ferguson, minister of education. speaking to the college and secon- dary section of the O. E. A. in ex- plaining the motive of the govern- ment in extending collegrwork into high schools. The premier pl nounc- ed outspokenly in favor of changing the examination method by iiubsti- tilting-the year's rccord for the writ- ten examination. "The department finds by a survey of the results that 07 per cent. of those who get s0 per ce . on tha entrance examination ge their pass on the departmental examinations." said Mr. Ferguson. "We think therg are benefits to be derived by a change. The pupil is put on his own, and he realizes he will bc marked on a year's work instead of on one written examination spasm."

At the end of h‘: lcrm. Lord Wil- lingdon will return, "a free man in fact as well M in name." and “the cork will be out of the bottle." he promised members of Vancouver ser- vice club at s luncheon meeting. The governor-general alluded to the dif- ficulties of his office. which entailed many addresses and u many more limitations upon the subjects with which he could deal,

"I am longing to pour forth my opinions, but must refrain." said his excellency. He recalled that a short time ago, following s trip to the West lndfss. he made an observation which to hint at the time, seemed perfectly harmless. "utter 1 learned from my newspaper that. certain gentlemen felt. that i should not have said what l did." he humorously remarked.

The entertainment would than‘ open with s lively overture by the. orchestra in which "Bones" and‘ "Tiirnbo" would shew their skill in handling the bones and tambourine. ‘ll-ien would follow a conundrum or a joke. Next perhaps a sentimental song, such as "Hard Times. come again no more." Next. some further side-splitting joke or local hit, and so on. Some of the favorite songs wcre-"Yoi Yahl Yo!" "Ring dc Banjo," “Carry mc back," etc, etc. The comic song which made the big- gsst hit in those days was an excsed- ingly lively one, without much sense, however. It is almost forgotten now except by ii few. such as Mr. s. N. Earle. who was Musical Director at the time. The ﬁrst verse ran like this;

"Tapioca."
