► \ k BS-* -4iS The Editor Talks Can it be that Kaiser Wilhelm is sincere ■p'hen he refers so often to receiving receiving help from God? If so, his God must be a different one from ours. The Scandinavian Thor must have come back to life and activity. From outside observation the Kaiser's God does not bring many signal victories. Bystander aptly remarks that if _ the Kaiser is referring to a primitive triviality, the creation of men, well and good; but if he refers to the Christian God, hsris blaspheming. He may possibly have worked himself into the belief that the Almighty is in his favor, for it is easy to impose on one's imagination. He may be sincere, sincere, but more than likely he is acting the hypocrite. He may believe the war was forced upon him by the partial partial mobilization of Russia at an early stage. But the rest of the world thinks differently, and has the conviction conviction that the war was prepared for for 40 years and that the German war lords set the clock to the minute. What God could approve of^all the horrors of which Germans nave been guilty ? Writing about this frightful war has no charm for us, so let one paragraph paragraph suffice for this time. We'll talk about a pleasanter theme. All reports reports so far seen about our Governor- General's wife are very complimentary. complimentary. It is not the good fortune of many of us to receive a formal introduction, introduction, but \ve shall tell our readers a few things we've heard. Those who know tell us that the Duchess of Devonshire Devonshire will set Canadian ladies a fine example; that she is a gracious lady and understands our people, having having lived among them in her earlier years. She was reared by a sterling mother who believed that girls should be useful as well as attractive and should have duties in their community. The Duchess, though highly born, is sweet and gracious and kind and will prove a true helpmate to her distinguished distinguished husband in the high role he has to sustain, and her beautiful womanly womanly example will do us Canadians all good. 1 he fine. i: a great pity that only the leading ladies of the larger cities can come directly under the personal influence influence of the Duchess? If the Governor-General Governor-General and party would only take a long motor trip through this country, staying a day or two in the counties so that all the people might meet them informally, the presence of the Duchess and her beautiful daugh ters might make for the general re finement of many worthy Canadian ladies who otherwise may never see them or come under their influence. Answering the question, Why cannot we have our own Governor-General ? Bystander says they are too close for the present at any rate; we are democrats democrats but we like an accent; we are not indifferent to the claims of long descent; we note the pointed finger, nail: we see an urbanity which is not noisy; we are too young for the salon, of course: but the wives of our Gov- ernors-General play an important, though unobtrusive part, in the viceregal viceregal position, and so therewith we must be content. * * * * Teaching music in schools was strongly advocated in these Talks a few months ago, and so we are glad to see that the idea growing. It should and must become in favor if properly taught and one encouraging fact is that the children hail its introduction introduction with great delight. Dull, indeed, indeed, must be the boy or. girl who will not try to learn to sing. Wo have been interested in reading an article by a clever writer on "The Language of Emotion." in which he starts off by saying that music is the youngest of t the arts, but is to-day the language of the emotions and must necessarily have a very strong influence on mankind. mankind. Thus it is of the utmost importance importance that as far as possible it should be jealously guarded and richly richly inspired with moral purpose. It would require a good deal of thinking to analyse a single emotion. Emotions are often weakened by thoughts, but thoughts are strengthened by unemotional unemotional feeling. There certainly can not be real art without deep feeling, and as John Stuart Mill said, "Poetry is nothing more than thought colored by strong emotion expressed in metre and overheard." Music and religion are handmaidens. Christianity is the religion of self- analysis and deals particularly with the emotions. By dwelling espescially upon the sanctity of the individual life it deepens the channel of natural feeling and unfolds capacities of emotion emotion which in other directions • strive in vain for articulation; and emotion thus quickened finds its best exprès-, sion through the medium already re-f 'ferret! to as the language of emotion ---music. When we are moved and Headaches come mostly from disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels. excited, by external and internal impulses impulses a certain quickening of the blood as it rushes through the heart and a corresponding action on the brain material takes place. This, briefly, is the physical basis of our emotions. The nature of our emotional emotional feeling is, therefore, inseparably inseparably associated with our thoughts. It is, therefore, of the highest import ance that our thoughtg ' should bè* pure; otherwise, a whole flood of sullied sullied emotion is swept along the avenues avenues of being, soiling and befooling the whole. "Music hath charms' to soothe the savage breast," and it would be difficult to find the condition where good music could not charm. Nothing to which the physical senses are amenable, states this writer, writer, -possesses greater potentialities for good or evil than music. One can conceive of some music unlocking the very chambers of hell and letting loose the worst animal passions of mankind, as in a saloon called the "Grapevine" once a half century ago that lured many a young man to destruction destruction in a great city in Ontario. Again, one can conceive of some music music lifting the. soul to the mountain peaks of righteous living. Art can become the handmaiden of purity or vice. When it is directed towards the elevation of the soul it naturally be- NURSES WANTED Pupil Nurses wanted for the Train; ing School, Hospital for the Insane, Toronto.

On the other hand, when it aims at being freakish, barbaric, barbaric, sensual, its effect is wholly baneful, baneful, as\d its havoc unlimited. Such is the possible effect, we fear, that is produced by the syncopated rubbish known as ragtime music--a form of musical depravity which finds ^too much favor with the masses. Lovers of good music cannot help but regard ragtime stuff as a lamentable lapse from good taste--a distinct tendency downward. They are made the victinfs of new and hideous experiments which offend .the cultivated ear and disgust the artistic sense. The public should patronize the good and boycott the bad. Unfortunately the ragtime travesty travesty has spread to our homes and schools. The sooner it is ruled out of both the better for all who wish young people to get benefit from what is best and most elevating Ifronusic. The Seismograph in War.

For herein we set forth the achievement toward which the Willys-Overland organization has aimed for the last eight years. z This achievement in a word is the completion of thegigantic Willys-Overland organization to a point where a comprehensive line of automobiles automobiles can be made and marketed under one head. This means tremendous economies--much greater greater than ever before. This means the elimination of all waste, all lost motion and much greater factory efficiency. This means an even higher grade of cars at much more attractive prices. All of which means a substantial saving for you on the next car you buy. For now and for the first time in the history of the automobile business we as one single organization offer the public a full and comprehensive comprehensive line of automobiles. This concentration--this greater efficiency--this more effective means of pulling together is going to set a new standard of low priced high-grade automobile values. For we operate on the basis of-- .--one executive organization .--one factory management ---one purchasing unit --one sales expense --one group of dealers --to plan, produce and sell all Overland, Willys and Willys-Knight models. Buying power is concentrated'. Costs are dis-' tributed over all these cars. The savings are enormous. As a result we are producing cars of exceptional quality--and marketing them at unusually low prices. Every car is built to a rigid standard of performance, performance, comfort and appearance. : The new models are listed iii this announcement. They include Overland models from the snappy comfortable $930 Light Four to the beautiful Light Six Sedan at $2220. They include also the big, handsome Willys- Knights from the Four at $1800, to the super efficient Eight at $2730. These new models establish price records, value records and performance records which we "believe will prove to the public conclusively that the vast economies of vast production are^he key note and manufacturing secret of the greatest value for the least amount of money.
