An Editor Talks The other public man of sons noticed and advised him to try to overcome it. We do not know how he felt over our suggestion. The impression impression we got from his manner at the time was that he rather resented our remarks, although given in sincere sincere kindness. A father reproving his | other line son for some indiscretion gently remarked: remarked: "Take all your corrections kindly and be thankful to any one who cares enough for you to tell you of your mistakes or warn you when you first begin to go astray. For," he continued sadly, "the more corrections you receive and profit by when young, the less you will receive from the world when older."

History shows that hard times succeed succeed every great war. Even now in the United States which thus far has kept out of the war, rightly or wrongly, wrongly, we notice that bankers are advertising advertising in every important newspaper in the land with the idea in mind o: inducing the readers to save. Stories in popular magazines treat of this subject. Financiers---or the men who raise the money to do the big thing in the business world--all urge the posi tive necessity of spending wisely anc putting back into circulation by" the purchase of securities the surplus funds accumulated. They realize that the battle for commercial supremacy among the nations of the world means that the people must save and invest --that they must combine, labor anc capital in such a manned' as to make their country the most productive of nations.

THE DEATH OF FRANCIS JOSEPH By Chas M. Bice, Denver,. Colo. Th,e once great house of the Haps- burgs has lost its most distinguished representative in the recent death of Francis Joseph, the aged ruler of Austria. This distinguished race of kings takes their name from a famous ancient ancient house in Switzerland, but is not the name of the occupants. The place of origin in this case, having superseded superseded the residents, the name has clung to the descendants through all subsequent history. Tjfre aged monarch, whose funeral rites at Vienna will soon be observed in a manner befitting a king, ascended ascended his throne in the midst of revolution, revolution, and it is only fitting that, he descend from it as he has, while the nation is wrapped in gloom of treacherous treacherous war, that forbodes national disaster disaster to his confiding subjects. His kingdom is yet in the balance, and no matter Who wins, his domin- ■--= ; ions are almost certain to be dismem- - j bered. The dual monarchy is doomed, doomed, however the struggle may end. . Francis Joseph, emperor of Austria, and a sort of apostolic King of Hungary, Hungary, reigned but did not govern during during the latter period of his life. He supinely placed himself in sub- of another and much greater sovereign--the Kafser. The spectacle presented of the life of the titular head of the dual monarchy monarchy would have been a fit subject for the world's greatest dramatist Canadians are a very loyal people. They have ever honored those in authority. authority. The past week the new Gov- ; jeetion to the will ernor-General, the Duke of Devonshire, Devonshire, the Duchess and daughters, have visited Toronto and were cordially cordially and enthusiastically welcomed. The Duke comes of a noble lineage, ___ is said to be a very sensible, practical himself, and were he now living, we man, with up-to-date ideas and ideals would be presented with another and possessed of a very inquiring Richard or a Henry to take the place mind--a man among men, and so of the ephemeric twaddle written by forth. He will undoubtedly worthily so-called court historians, fill the high position which his prede-j His was a life in full cessor, the Duke of Connaught, so signally and worthily filled. Canada is, we believe, in a state of evolution owing to war conditions, and before the new Governor-General's term ex consonance of with Hapsburg traditions--full tragedy, bloodshed and revolt.
