WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 1920 LOOK ON THE OTHER SIDE When a man buys a house he looks it ov- er, front yard and back yard, ingide and out, cellar and attic. When he buys an automobile he examines the chassis and inspects the top, turns up the seat cushions and opens the motor hood. No woman would buy a piece of cloth, cali- co or silk, without turning it over and over, examining both sides with care and caution. There is a bottom and a top, an inside and an outside, a right side and a wrong side to everything. We are mighty careful, in buying our rugs and our curtains, our wall paper and our table linens, to look on both sides. But in selecting our ideas and convictions, our beliefs and principles, how many of us turn them over to examine the other side? How many of us are content with the plau- sible, attractive side that the salesman shows? How many of us stumble blindly slong unconscious that there is any other pide than the side we first looked upon? How many of us engage in heated contro- versy to maintain that the side we,see is the "right" side, when we have in fact made no honest attempt to examine the other side? We may depend upon it that there are two sides to every question, And we can- not be sure that we have the right side until we have examined the other, We may plod along, in a sort of way, ignorant that we are prejudiced or narrow, or undiscriminating, but others will not be fooled. And if we are sufficiently awake we may read our error in the inquiring faces of those with whom we come in contact. WHY THE DICTATORSEIP?, Europe's dictatorships--ithere are some half dozen of them---are explained not so much by strong men who have seized power as by weak, timorous and bewildered people who have surrendered it. Conditions are such that ordinary men with military back- ing have been able to make dictators of themselves. The war left the larger European powers suspicious of each other and the smaller countries--several of which gained inde- pendence through the war--fearful of the stronger nations and jealous of the other smali states. These fears and suspicins were but the reflection of a lack of self-con- from 100 to as much as 5,000 years, THE OSHAWA DAILY FIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 1928 fidence. Timidity was to be expected of na- tions bankrupt, undeveloped industrially and commercially, divided politically, and inex-. perienced in self-government. Thus was the field ripe for the setting up of dictatorships by political adventurers, Little nations playing with democracy as though fearful of breaking it make easy game for' thase ambitious to rule their fel- low men. They feel a sense of security in thus concentrating and making the very most of their defensive resources. That the process will reverse itself is in- evitable. The cocksureness and. swaggering arrogance of the post war species of dictator must eventually breed into their people the same degree of self-assurance with the re- sult that they will tive of being bossed and will restore their little democracies and re- publics and depose their uninvited despots. VEGETARIAN LONGEVITY Even in Canada wheye the public health is reasonably well guarded, so few people sur- vive the century mark that they are pointed out by their fellow townsman and their longevity is the subject of frequent newa- paper comment. In other countries the av- erage span of human life ia much less than it is here, diminishing as th2 degree of civ- ilization becomes lower, Thomas Parr, wha lived to be 152 years old, probably established a longevity record for his own time and the time that has since elapsed, bul his record, as well as that of all other members of the animal kingdom, is easily surpassed by those of the vegetable kingdom, The life of the great forest trees vary Cy- press trees are said to live for 850 years, ivy 460, chestnut 600, cedar 800, oak 1,000 to 1,500 years, yew 2,500 and the baobah tree 5,000 years, The longevity of Parr, who was married a second time when 120 years old, continu- ing to work on his farm in Shropshire, Eng- land, for many years afterward, compares quite favorably with the ages attained by other members of the animal kingdom. Ele- phants live more than a century as do croco- diles and tortoises. Pike and carp have been known to live from 60 to 150 years, ,and eagles, crows and parrots from 50 to" 100 years.

These are affiliated with the Nationalists, and Natiom- alist flags were run up on the pub- lic buildings. The Northeraners, who refused to join the Nationalists, fired a few shots and looted a number of shops. In tifis they were aided by civilian thieves and similar characters. For a time there was a panic among the residents, many of whom sought refuge in the foreign concessious. But on the whole nothing serious marked the occasion. Cha Yu-pu, Civilian and Mili- dary Governor of Chihli, fled from the city, and the authority is now vested in General Nan Kwei-hsi and General Fu Tso-yi, Shansiites. The jatlter gained mote by holding out at Chochow during the long siege by the Fengtien troops. The situation tonight is consider: ed easier. although the shops are stil closed, TREATY IN ABEYANCE Ottawa, June 12. -- Canada is pot taking any immediate action toward the renewal of the Bryce- Root treaty, which expires today. The treaty, originally effected be- tween Great Britain and the Uunit- ed States in 1908, and renewed on several occasions, provides for ar- bitration of . international dis- putes. Canada became a party to this agreement. The Bryce- Root treaty will come under con- sideration by the Dominion Goy- ernment at a later date, it is un- derstood, when the proposals of United - States ' Secretary of State Kellogg for the outdawing of war will be under further discussion.

ENTIRE HAMILTON CITY BLOCK ARE TO CHANGE HANDS Hamilton, June 12.--An excep- tionally large real estate transze- tion is said to be pending here whereby properties jin the entire block bounded by James, Vine, Mac- Nab aud Merrick Streets will change hands at ai early date. A promiuvent Toronto realtor is reported io have secured options on the several properties, but mo details have been announced yet. There are rumors that a large mo- tel will be erected on a portion of the block and that a Toronto bus company will erect a terminal on another part of the block. Some weight is attached to the reports by the fact that a large wholesale firm recently vacated its premises on the east side of MacNab street, between Merrick and Vise streets, and moved across the road. An- other adjacent wholesale company is making substantial extensions to its factory premises near the Hay- market, thus indicating an early removal from MacNab sireet.

By Renrut, FREED OF PAYROLL HOLDUP Toronto, June 13.--William Street, colored, and James Bullock and Gordon Robbins, the three Brantford men arrested following the Esplanade pay-roll hold-up of May b, were acquitted of charges laid in connection with that rob- bery by a Sessions jury yesterday afternoon, The jury was out more than three and a half hours. The three accused, during the four-day trial, pleaded that they had not been near the Esplapade when Miss Mazie Farr and Norman Reid were robbed of the $1,800 Reid and Brown Structural Steel Company's pay-roll, and that they had not stolen and were not riding in the car which was said to have been used by the bandits, WELLAND JUDGE SAYS . GRAND JURY USELESS Welland, June 12,--That the Grand Jury was nothing but a great bill of expense and should be done away with, was the deciur- ation of Judge Hopkins at the open- ing of Welland Coupty Court this afternoon. He stated that in the olden times there was a need for such a body, but now every case was investigated by a Magistrate, 2nd on evidence, the accused was committed for trial. He also told the Grand jurors that they were not bound to visit the public insti- tutions, and there was no reason why they should, in that there were now Government jipspectors to do that work. His Hopor fined two jurors, Fred Schooley and Charles Butler, $10 each for being absent, and ad- monished the other - jurors to see that they were in their places promptly on time. Judge Livingston of Welland, who has been seriously ill, is pro- gressing splendidly.

INDIAN CANOE UP TO DATE (Vancouver Provinee) While waiting at the ferry dock I noticed an Indian canoe of the dug-ont type tied to the wharf. Graceful as a greyhound it follow- ed the best traditional style of the Chinook canoe from the bow 10 the prow, quaintly carved to re- semble a wild animal's head and 'painted a bright vermillion. The canoe contained neither the usual hand-hewn paddles nor oars. In the stern, however, was a new arnfl shiny outboard motor propellor, contrasting strangely enough with its setting the age of the handi- craft and the age of machinery joining hands. Near the chimer- cial figurehead was printed a eryp- tic word Yasmuh, which, is sur- mised, might be the name of some swift creature of the sea. Before the ferry left the owner of the canoe came down to the wharf, stepped into the canoe and in a few seconds the engine was-buzzing busily. Like an arrow the canoe went off toward the North Shore, and as it sped away the curious animal head was facing us. Jt seemed to grin as the canoe left the dull ferry far behind, as if to say, "We may be old fashioned but just wateh us go!" CADET TRAINING POPULAR (From the Sentinel, Toronto) The futility of the agitation against cadet training in the schools was strikingly illustrated by the celebration on Empire Day in the cities of Ontario. Never before were so many on parade, nor has there been so much enthusiasnr in carrying out those eceremohies appropriate to the occasion. These took the form, mostly, of decorat- ing the monuments erected in mem- ory of our outstanding statesmen and to those who have served the country under arms. This has been described by the small pacifist group who oppose cadet training. as tending toward the creation of a militaristic spirit in our schoo] boys. Nothing could very well be farther from the facts. It is true that the cadets wear umi- forms. They are taught to march and ecounter-march and performr evolutions of a semi-military char- acter. But after all these may be more truly described as physical exercises, the value of which, hoth for boys and girls, is not disput- ed by any person. What more ap- propriate thing could be done than for sehool children io hemor the memory of the Queen by placing wreaths upon the monuments érect- ed to her in various parts of the country. Similarly, floral deeora- tions are laid upon the statues of the men like Sir Oliver Mowatt, Sir James Whitney, and Sir Joba A. Macdonald, men who served this country in an eminent degree and whose services should be recogniz- ed by succeeding generations who benefit from their work. Plonably even the pacifists will ag with this, but ask why tue monuments erected to the memory of our military heroes should be included. The answer, of course, is that these men at different times, and in different ways, 1a1a down their lives for their country and in doing so won the reverence of suc. ceeding generations. It is well that our schogl boys should have oppor- tunities to bring to mind the achievements of all who.have serv. ed their country in these capaci- ties, and it is well also that their physical training should be such that in any great emergency they should be fitted, more or less, to defend their country. It is not hard to understand the attitude of opposition to cadet training by those who may be class. ed as conscientious objectors to war, who would not take up arms under any consideration, even for the preservation of their homes. But Canada, or any other country, would be in a bad way if a major- ity of the people were of that idea. At all events, it is not in the Brit- ish blood, nor in the Canadian blood, to be passive under attack. No more peace-loving people exist on the earth, but when the fswue becomes resistance to, or submis sion to, another power, their choice is made before the issue 1s joined. THE WAVE OF SPECULATIUN (The Monetary Times) The Canadian public, like that of the United States, seems to have become infected with the specuia- tive fever and the result is that the stock exchanges of both coun- tries are doing business whieh, while varying sometimes in volume of sales, nevertheless bids fair to set up new records for the yearly period. The germ seems to have taken firm hold on all classes and men and womeh, young and old, may now be heard discussing the merit or demerits 'of the various issues in the street cars, at the clubs and wherever they meet for a minute's conversation. Statis- ties and earnings of industrial com- panies and assays and levels. and geology of mines are freely dis- cussed with as often as not the information being exchanged quite erroneous. This does not matter to the enthusiast, however, who can usually see no stocks but those in which he is interestéd. It all comes from the desire to get rich quick---to get something for nothitg. And back of it all is a degree of selfishness which few of the sculators themselves would admit, Nevertheless, pro- vided they buy a stock low. and sell it at a good profit, there are very few of the amateur operators who worry at all as to whether the person who bought their stock will get a run for his money or not. Their main object is to take as large a profit as they can get in the shortest possible time. But the profits are not always there, Quite a number of people in the past three years have made sub- stantial sums from the stock mar- kets. These are the cases about which most of us hear.
