Durham and Normand fie, WU : elsewhere in Canada, a year; $5.00 a year, REPRESENTATIVES IN US, LENT AND AFTER Now that Easter is over, are you indulg- ing your old-time appetites to the full? Practising self-denial during the Lenten sea- gon is an admirabe thing, but many undo a great deal of the good they receive by in- dulging in excesses as soon as the period for restricting themselves is over, These people are benefitted spiritually, mentally and phy- gically by the contemplation, the quiet living and abstemiousness in eating and drinking which Lent entails upon those who keep it, They look better, they feel better, and they are better, They regard the Lenten life, however, as too slow, too drab, and hanker for the bright lights, the high spots and the fleshpots, So, as soon as their consciences will let them, we find them taking up the old life of self-indulgence with renewed vigor, They soon overdo it, and the benefits they received by the practice of self-denial are goon dissipated, Humans are creatures of sunshine, and it is well that they are, This would be a dark old world if everybody looked on the gloomy side of things, The somberness which associated with Lent does not appeal to the majority of mortals, They want something brighter, something that speaks of life rather than of death, They want the glad- ness that follows Eastertide, Nobody but a groucher or a pessimist could blame them for this, But the wise ones will exercise temperance in pursuit of the glad things of life. Be you temperate in all things, is a good axiom for not only forty days of the year, but the whole 865 or 866, Those who exercise tem- perance in everything have stronger bodies, clearer minds, cleaner souls, live longer, and get more real enjoyment from life than do the self-indulgers. As storm makes one en- joy the sunshine the more; as illness makes health more appreciated, so those who bridle their appetites are the better able to enter into the innocent but real pleasures that come their way. A little bit of Lent the whole year around would be a good thing for all if they only knew it. = #» r ' IN BRITISH INDIA A A As British India is a constituent part of the world wide British Commonwealth, al- though not yet altogether autonomous, the situation there is of the deepest interest not only to Britain but to all her autonomous Dominions, Especially so just now, as the royal Commission, with Sir John Simon as its chairman, to report on the working out of the measures of self-rule from time to time already conceded is on its way back to Britain to make its report, The Commission met at first with con- siderable prejudice in India as no native had been included in its membership, This how- ever was early discerned to be a tactical or two respects and illustrates how meces- sary it is to accept with caution what miglg be regarded as reliable information concern- & | : : ] 3 : ¢ £ : ; ! g E - a copy of "World- sent him for his ty.

"These statements I know to be reliable because of what I have seen while there." Such statements from such sources illus- trate how necessary it is to accept with cau- tion and careful reserve all statements de- rogatory to British rule in India. Most if not all of them are propaganda by those who think they would profit if it were possible to effect a revolution by which the whole of British India would be given all at once autonomous government, As a matter of fact that is what Britain has been doing as far as it is wise and safe to do it. And Britain is the best judge. EDITORIAL NOTES About the most expensive thing on earth is money, The hardest thing about loafing is buying things on credit, A man doesn't reap what he sows unless he works the crop, Bill collectors have little knowledge of good manners. They always call again with- out an invitation, Newly-married men are always surprised at the cost of a wife's hand-to-hand conflicts with the manicurist. A famous French composer likes jazz be- cause it is a new way of manipulating music, but some call it manhandling, More happiness is found accidentally than on purpose. Way to cure insomnia is to get a job as a night watchman. By "tolerance" people mean acceptance of their standards, and that's all a tyrant asks. Doing nothing takes up about twice as much time as doing something. Bit of Verse LEISURE What is this life, if full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. 1d No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass, Where squirrels hide their nuts and grass. No time to see, in broad daylight, Streams full of stars, like stars at night. No time to wait till her mouth can And watch her feet how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can 2 Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this, if full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. ~--William H. Davies. "LET ME ENJOY" Sr -- Let me enjoy the earth 1.0 less Because the all-enacting Might THat fashioned forth its loveliness Had other aims than my delight. About my path there flits a Fair, Who throws me not a word or sign; I will find charm in her uncare, And laud those lips not meant for mine. From manuscripts of moving song Inspired by scenes and souls unknown, I'll pour out raptures that belong To others, as they were my own. Perhaps some day, toward Paradise And all its blest--if such should be-- I shall lift glad, afar-off eyes, Though it contain no place for me. : =Thomas Hardy. bl. iti all. SPRING DRILL (St. . Catharines Standard) The young men who devote part of their time to military training are gemerally men, in later years, who know how to fulfill the duties of good citzienship in a civil cap- . | acity. The officers who conduct ice the training of these young men are doing an excellent work in citizenship, as well as building up an arm of defence. They are do- two years the estimates at Ottawa have been a little more generous than during the first years of the present Government. Perhaps they will grow still more generous with the years, not that Canadian public opinios will approve of building up a military machine, but because of the good effect of such training the militia has. JORD BALFOUR'S HEALTH By a Lond orrespondent) To Lord Balfour's friends the surprise is, not that he should have to take a rest in the interests of his health, but that he should be still alive to take an in- terest in that subject. More than twenty years ago, those who used to watch him sitting on the front Opposition bench, using all manner of sprays and inhalers, could come to no other conclusion than that he was a chronie invalid, and soon af- terwards he confirmed thelr ap: prehensions by retiring because of the state of his health, The inter- est and responsibility arising out of the war seemed to act as a re- storative. It will he remembered that on one occasion the question whether a serious political crisis was to develop or to fade away was answered by an unobtrusive little paragraph in the personal eolumn of the morning papers announcing that Mr. Balfour had left for Bad- Gastein, That Austrian resort was a favorite with him in his pre-war days, for he suffered from heart weakness even then, SPEED WITH SAFETY (From the Kansas City Post) The prediction that a speed of & mile a minute for motor cars will be 8a common thing in the near future and that it will be safe Is made by an official of one of the automobile companies but it is pos- sible he is thinking only of pedes- trians and is not taking into mc- count the possibility of cars run- ning into each other. When it is generally known that cars are going at 60 miles ag hour pedestrians will not venture out, and of course, will be in no danger, The only difficulty so far, as they are concerned will be that of earn- ing a living but probably this can be overcome by having motorists bring work to them, or if this is not practical they can he Supported by a tax on gasoline. Yes, the pedestrians will hide out and will be safe when all cars are going at a mile a minute, but what will the motorists do to each other? THE CASE OF REMUS (From Detroit Saturday Night) Can you do a Remus puzzle? First youn kill your wife, carefully avoiding the second man in the triangle. Then you appear in your owas defence and make 8 tally of the court, and the jury finds you 'not guilty by reason of insanity." Then you go to an asylum for the criminal insane and prove that you are sane again, and the appellate court agrees with you, and if the court of last resort agrees with you, you are a free man again with a juicy vaude- ville contract awaiting you. it you do not fancy murder, you can work the puzzle in anoth- er way. You can get a gun and waylay anybody with some spare change in his pocket and hold him cp and then blow yourself to a good time. Or, if you prefer, you can rob a drug store, or a gas sta- tion, or a bank. You can repeat this performance as often as you feel the urge until you are caught. Then you can go into court and enter a plea of "not guilty byrea- son of insanity," and if you or your lawyer are clever enough, you will get away with it, and youn sanity has returned. At least, that is the way itis working out in Ohio, and if it works s0 well in one state, it ought to work as well in others. Under that system anybody can be a crook without risking more than a temporary absence from his regular vocation. ' The one fly in the ointment fis that some means may be devised to declare courts and juries responsible for such a system to be guilty by rea- son of insanity, and then it won't work any more.
