o Already February hasibrought us a i cold clip in temperature. North and: northwestern winds have bffflllflhb it, to us acrrms a frozen continent. This ' serves to remind us that the 6th day ' of February. 186i was the coldest day the writer ever experienced in 90 years past. 'I‘iiat day was passed in Penobsquls, New Brunswick. a little morc than half way between saint

The night previous there had been a rain storm which ended about eight o‘clock. The moderate wind from the southwest suddenly shifted to the northwest and blew with increasing velocity. In the morning it became a gale which blew all day at about 70 miles an hour and the mercury re- corded 28 degrees below zero.

Never before nor since can we re- call s. fail of 62 degrees in the tem- perature in so brief a. period of time. The gale broke young and vigorous ornamental trees planted in front of our home and swept them away like chaff. The cold gale had swept over Ontario the day before and was there remembered as the cold Thursday, but the wind was not so violent nor the cold so intense as it was central and northern New Brunswick. Nei- ther the Cold Friday nor the famous Saxby Gale of eight or nine years later seem to be remembered in Prince Edward Island.

it is years since the Duncan Report was presented to the Dominion Gov- ernment and it seems strange that our claims, although in part imple- mented had been then apparently pigeonholed and forgotten at Ottawa until the question of giving the Pral- rle Provinces the natural resources within their boundaries came up.

New and Important. claims for the Maritimes have arisen out of the special awards to Manitoba and it now appears that all our claims new and old are to be adjusted by an air- dit board at Ottawa, in the appoint- ment of which no Maritime province had any voice.

slrrcry this r.- not the form of nh- al settlement that was contemplated by the Duncan Commission. They thought our claims urgent and im- mediate, not matters to be postpon- ed from year to year as has been the case. They likewise doubtless thought and hoped that any future board of audit or estimate having to do with our claims in any way would have in vicw the need of an early and final settlement. and would be composed of men as representative painstaking and impartial as they themselves had been.

The Coal Fund in aid of the poor, founded by the late Dr. Jenkins, is much more needed this winter than it was a year ago. The fund has been exhausted this year in mldwinter partly because of colder weather and partly because the COfitfllJlitiOlif thereto have been fewer than in for- mrr years. The need for more con- tributions to the Coal Fund will doubtless be promptly responded to by our generous and charitable citi- zerrs who have never hitherto dir- regarded such an emergency. The Coal Fund is n. really noble charity.

It appears by reports fro Ottawa that. in the matter of brdiiicastirrz by radio the annual license fco is to be increased from sf to $3, the num- ber of receiving stations greatly re- duced and Sunday Church services cut out. This last limitation will be a disappointment to many who by reason of age, sickness or infirmity are unable. to attend the public scr- vlces which they formerly frequented. They enjoyed listening to a sermon or two on Sunday. It was not alto- gether to escape the collection that they stayed at home. .

The exodus of Canadians and new- ly arrived immigrants to the United States is an unmeausrcd number. 'Ihose who cross the border openly in legal fashion are counted, as also are returning Canadians who state their intention to reside permanently in Canada. But these figures take nn account of the number that cross the border southward, by under- ground methods. The number of these is known to be very large.

Thedevices by which they effect their purpose are as various and see- rel as those of the rum smugglers. They are assisted often by reigrtives or chums living in the States, or by employers on the other

crating on both sides of the line. it is well known that thousands of im- migrants come from Europe to Oahu-

da yearly for the sole purpose of getting into the States. They take assisted ‘fringes across the ocean and than steal their

Tlll WOMEN'S LIBERAL OLUQ

Bin-I understand that Mrs. it‘. '1‘.

ifiggs. President of the Women's Liberal Club of Charlottetown, has been canvassing the members of that club lo sign a petition in favor of one of the aspirants w the office of Judge of the County Court. . What I would like to find but from Mrs. Hlggs is l! @119 Pulpit" of organizing such a club is w‘ pro- mote the interest of one Liberal for office against another Liberal -for the same omce.

It, i; rather an important prin- ciple especially when put into ef- fect by the wife of a man who some- iiimes yeks the votes of all Llbcrlll women. Perhaps she may find this out.

PLAY AND DEFECTIVES

J

Did you know that one in every fifty persons is more or less tacking in brains, is what is called a mental defective? .

And yet this one fiftieth produces from 25 w-aa per cent of the popula- tlon of our prisons, so as a matter of fact there are many- more criminals drawn from the mentally defective classes in proportion to their per- centage of the general -popula" l. than from the rest.

Now this is certainly a large per- centage but until rccently- it was thought that the ‘ percentage was nearer 00 per cent, that is that two out of every three criminals were mrntrily defective.

This means of course that our prison population is made, up of many more persons with normal and sirperlor intellects than with mental defectives.

Following these investigations frrr- ther it has been definitely shown that many mental defectives are leading good lives.

Now why do I talk about this? What has this to do tvith health, with that body of yours? i

Simply the fact that the surround- ings of these defectives when they are young has much to do with.
