AU14T SUSAN'S WEEKLY LETTER' My Dear Niece-Of aIl the per- istent tyrants that grîp hold of us and break up our healh--1uining us physically and mentally-notn-ing is so bard to combat as depression of spirits. Sometimes it takes us suddenly- a zmall disappointment, or even a headache will serve as an excuse :o give the monster a chance to work ts horrid way right into our souls. Giving in te it we nurse our troubles, great and small, and every- thing is sad and bad ail around us; ail the good things are squeezed into :osaal a space that it is almost im- possible to discover them even ivhen ot.hers-, jolly and happy, point them out te us. In fact so self-centred does de- pression make us that it aggravates and angers us, and increases cur mîsery te see others happy. Depression is like looking at a tiny wound caused by a prick on your finger through a powerful mag- nifying glass; the pain is scarcely notceable and bv the naked eye the littl-e wound appears as notnîng. bout seen through the glass it is ugly and dreadful. So it is when depression gets a llrm hold upon you, it magnifies things a hundredfold-things that may hardly be in existence. Jr is like a sickness in the mmnd and should be treated as such. Bad heaIlrh is often the funda, mental reason for acute depression, and continually worrying oven thinga ,ha-. worry will not help. The more hopeless youralz wor-ying to be the more depressed you become. My dear niece, depresso serious coniplaint, and like ail other flIs, you need to get toeits root and set te work t,, cure it. To give way te it rneans eventually chronic melancholia-or even wre Think of the magnifying g 7ass-- Z Eearch into what is worrying you and; find out if you are not seeing things tram a distorted angle. Try and rea.son within yourself that v.4at now seenis to loon so large and black is atten aIl but some:hng that will pass away like a bad dream that vanisbes at daylight, making you sinile at your foolish tright. So, too, will you ssile at the qualmis you now are feeling when your mind has become normal again. Again, neason to yomrelf that yen are dong yoursell a great injury, and no matter how misezable yGu are you cannot make things better by berng so. As tme passes so quickly what may appear terrible at thie moment will in a very briet space have re- ceded far in the background. AU such aids te depression as monetary troubles; bereavements; unkind triends; disillusionments; dis- appointmenits, or partings will pasa; but it is memories that require the biggest fight t» prevent depression. If reasoning will mot drive it away look to your health; ningle with people and listen te their troubles and with sheen trength of wili force yourself and your troubles on -one side--a great curative. The nind is sick, se loneliness, ifl- tentper, anger against ochers wi'ho caunot help you, suikiness or per- sistent endeavor to be depressed froni selfish motives, is a sure way of becoming a miserable person dislik- ed by al, even youn own self. Thnking of oChers and not wear- ing your heart on your leeve will graduallï bring to your mmnd the healthfulness of happy thoughts. Your loving Aunt Susan.

S A U tE 8 s With the customs investigation stili far from finished, the -King Government already stands convicted of having co-operated with smugglers, bootleggers, dopesters and thieves, and of having thus been a party to defrauding the National Treasury, strangling legitimate business, debauching officiais, high and low, thwarting the administration of justice, and bribing the electorate!1 To cite but a few instances- -already proven-- f rom its appalling record of malfeasance: IStolen automobiles, smuggled into Canada with the connivance of Customs officiais, were sold for a pittance to friends of the King Governnment, and those found guilty were allowed flot only to go unpunisbed. but to continue their nef arious trade. 2Smuggied liquor selling was engaged in on a large scale by Csos officiais whose duty it was ta protect the Ti-easury. Coruptofficiais were unpunished and promoted; honest ofcais were punished and demoted. 4 Prison-made goods are on the prohibited list, yct tons and tons of such goods, produced in ,prisons where contagious diseases were prevalent among the inmates, were smuggled into Canada for sale to innocent Canadian consumers, with the direct knowledge and co-ope ration of Government officiais. Police officers-members of the incorruptible Royal Canadian Mounted-were withdrawn from the Quebec boundary line at the requcst of the smuggling ring. Honest traders had asked for increased police protection, but the King Government preferred to grant the request of those who were defrauding the public revenue. 6 Quilty knowledge even in 1923 of the frauds that were being beyond the shadow of a doubt. Time and again, in 1924 and 1925, the Commercial Protective Association-an organization af business men-placed before Mr. King irrefutable evidences of it, that they had succeeded in tracing down at their own expense. With bis Government hopelessly entangled with Canada's criminal element, Mr. King did not--dared not- take any action to remedy the appalling conditions. 7 A total revenue loss e-timated at $35,000,000 per- year wsthe resuit of the smuggling thus condoned by the King Govern. ment. 8A $54,800 loss was sustained in one case aione when Mr. 8Cardin, Acting Minister of Customos and Excise, settled for $3,200 with a dishonest importer, who. according to Mr. Cardns own officiais, had cheated the Treasury out of duties amounting to $58,000. This deal was consummated just previous to the last election. 9 Free liquoi, from Oovernment warehouses in Montreai, was supplied in generous quantities to members of the King Gov- ernment and to Government officiais in Ottawa, in contra- vention both of the Federal Law and the Prohibition Law of Ontario. ioThe habit-forming drug traffic is one of the worst curses in IOthe world today. Under the protection of the King Govern- ment, Montreal became one of the great dope-distributing centres of North America. The peak of this corruption, aud of this interference with the Customs collection and the administration of justice, is proven by the evidence to have been reached just prioer to the general election of October, 1925, when, at the written request of Liberal candidates, Ministers of the Crown called off 'the Royal Canadian Mounted Police because they were enforcingr the law, kept convicted crooks out of jail, and sanctione Treasury frauds as a means of securing tne return of the King Government to power. Despite t-he fact that with Mr. Kennedy supporting tbem, the Liberals had a majority on the Investigation Committee, t-bat the Chairman Mr. Mercier was a Liberal, and that the Prosecuting Counsel Mr. Calder was a Liberal candidate i the last election, and despite the further fact t-bat- the committee sat almost daily for five months, thus affording Liberal members ample opportunity to uncover malfeasance on the part of previous ministries, not one word of proof, not one breath of suspicion, was brought against thbe administration of t-be Customs Department under t-be Laurier, Borden and Meighen Govern- ment-s, but only againat its administration under Mr. William Lyon MacKenzie King! Has anything more disgraceful ever besmirched the pages of Canadian history ? Can a proud and honourable nation, whose people fear God and eschew evil, afford to condone such dishonesty, such corruption, on the part of its leaders and public servants ? VOTE for F. W.
