Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago. = FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1929 T---- TO INVESTIGATE AUTO INSURANCE It is announced today that the attorney-gen- eral"s department of Ontario will hold an invesii- gatio into the increased rates for automobile in- surance, In making this decision, the Hop, Mr, Price has accurately gauged public opinion on the matter, for the protests which have come from the Oniario Motor League, the Canadian Manufac- turers' Association, the Toronto Board of Trade, and other bodies show how strongiy the motor- ists of the province feel on the subject, It is interesting to note, too, that the investiga- tion which has been ordered follows out exactly the attitude which was taken by The Times when the first suggestion of increased rates was made. On January 12 of this year, when the proposal was mooted by the automobile insurance under- writers, The Times made a stroug protest, and in an editorial on the subject, concluded with the following paragraph: -- "The matter as it stands now calls for in- vestigaifon by some authority other than the companies themselves, and if the insurance departments of the province and dominion are worth waintaining they ought to step in at thi: time and see that the in.erests of the pr ulic are protec wu such an investigation as The Times advocated has now been. ordered, and the only hope which can be expressed at this time is that it will be a real inves. gation, and will not result, as so mary « other inquiries have done, in a whitewash which 5 leaves the general public in no better condition than before. A NEW CRUSADE A new crusade has beep launched in Toronto with the organization of a body known as the Canadian Chris.dap Crusaders. Their movement is worthy of notice, for it is aimed at one of the greatest menaces to the welfare of the dominion of Canada today, that of the atheistic teachings of' the communis.s, That an organization to carry on a campaign of "this kind is needed is being evidenced every day in the pubiic press, for reports are coming from all parts of Ontario regarding the anti-religious propaganda that is beivg spread by the communist party. : While public opinion has not yet been thorough- ly aroused to the danger of this, the time is coming when there will be a strong crusade against it, and those of the Canadian Christian Crusaders movement to be complimented in tak- ing a place of leadership in this work. THE PROVINCES AND IMMIGRATION The suggestion was advanced recently that the immigration question should be taken out of the bands of the federal government, and placed un- "der the jurisdiction of the provinces of the do- minion, With this view, however, there can hard- ly be general agreement, The immigration question is, if anything, a naiional problem and not a provincial one, True, it might be well to confer with the provincial governments before making any radical depart- ures in the matter of policy, and in making immi- gration agreements, but the broad question of * who should be admitted to the dominion, and who should be assisted in settling in Canada, . must always remain a question for the broader ©: field of siatesmanship, as represented by the fed- eral government. There could be nothing but chaos should immi- £ gration ever become 2 mat.er of provincial juris- ~ diction, for there could be no guarantee that what £5 would satisfy the needs of one province would be compatible with the interests of another. The ¥ regulations which would suit Ontario might be t z entirely unsatisfactory for Saskatchewan or Al- * Dberta, where secttlement problems are entirely different. For that reason, if for no other, and for the . reason that there must be uniformity in immigra- tion laws for the whe country, it would bardly be advisable to remove it from the federal sphere "of governmental authority, and place it in the 5 lands of the provinces. 3% - EMPLOYMENT IN CANADA The amnucl review for 1928 of the employment 2 condiddons in Canada, published by the department of trade and commerce, makes interesting reading. | It shows in unmistakable statistics that, for the working people of this country, the year 1928 was the most satisfactory since the close of the world war, Not only did it show a greater volume of employment than in 1927, but it showed the highest peak of employment since records of this kind were first kept. « Without quoting too many tiresome figures, a few might be given to show the advance which was made, The year 1926 is taken as the fixed index of 100 in making comparisons. Last year, the employ- ment index was 111.6, showing an increase of over eleven per cent in the employment provided over two years ago, The record for all the years under review, with 100 as the basis in 1926, is as follows: 1921, 88.8; 1922, 80.0; 1923, 95.8; 1924, 93.4; 1925, 93.6; 1926, 100; 1927, 104,6; 1028, 111.6. The steady rise of the last four years is indicative of the industrial progress of the country, It shows a welcome improvement in the possibilities of the working man finding employment in Canada, and in the general industrial situation on which so large a section of our population is dependent for its livelihood, | THE SALVATION ARMY TANGLE Most people outside of the Salvation Army will feel gratified that the effort of the high council of that body 'to depose the aged General Brame well Booth has been halted by the cours. There seemed to be something ruthless about the re- moval from office of a man who bas spent his whole life in the cause of the army, simply be- cause he had broken down under the strain of his duties. A more satisfactory solution, to those on the outside, at least, would have "been to accept his proposal that a commission of five he appointed to act during his illness, What the outcome will be, of cBurse, is uncer. tain, The officers of the high council seem de- termined to get rid of the general, and while that is their own business, and that of the Salvation Army, the general impression seems to be that there is little of the spirit on which the organiza- tion is based in the methods being used to have a new leader appointed, EDITORIAL NOTES Your friends come in without knocking; your ene- mies knock without coming in, Grippe is an insidious allment referred to as a common cold when endured by others, There is a fortune for a man who can invent a reverse gear for gas and electric meters, Money isn't everything, but it is very handy to have around the house in case of trouble, The surprising thing about people is that most of them have just as much sense as you have. Modesty is o virtue, but the man who blows his own horn usually is able to raise the wind, It would help some folks to know how to spell the language instead of how to spill so much of it. Backbone will not get you anywhere, however, if the knot at the top is made of the same material. There is not much to be said for the individual who gets most enjoyment out of seeing others work, Above the Aretic Circle an explorer found places where fish hooks were used for money. This adds considerable zest to the race between Eskimos to see who will pay the restaurant check, .- Other Editors' Comment - | EYES FRONT (Publishers' Auxiliary) "Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdi- tics, no doubt, crept in; forget them as sooon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, begin it well and ser- encly and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with year old nonsense. This day is all that is good and fair, It is too dear, with its hopes and aspirations, to waste a moment upon the yesterday."--Anon., WHAT IS SIN? (Chicago Evening Post) A young professor in an castern college recently declared that we must abolish the old idea of sin. We may talk of conduct being immoral--that is con. trary to approved standards; or we may call it anti- social--that is against the best interests of society; we may even term it criminal--that is in violation of man-made law. But wc must give up sin as the name of an offense against God, because we are not sure of God. But giving up the idea of sin will not abolish the fact of it, any more than this young wiseacre's agnosticism will abolish God. Erudite as he may be in his own sphere, he displays a lament- able ignorance of the rcal significance of the word sin as used in the New Testament, and the real na- ture of sin. The Greek word usually translated sin means a "falling short of the mark." It is a betrayal of life's highest possibilities. It is a refusal to do and to be one's possible best. It is something much more radical and vital than can be covered by any code of laws.' It is treachery to life--to life in its full spiritual meaning. Sin is the turning of life from its true goal. It is because lives which accept Christ as Master and ideal find the goal that they win the victory over sin.

By James W. Barton, M.D. TELL YOUR DOCTO EVERYTHING 3 Perhaps you feel ill at times with headache, pain in stomach, heart rap- id, and no inclination for food. You consult your family doctor, and after an examination, as he can find no reason for your symptoms, you leave his office with the feeling that he thinks you are imagining or ot least exaggerating your symptoms, And yet you know how you are feeling and know that you are not really well. You have confidence in your physician's ability and decide that it is useless to see anyone else, as he would likely tell you about the ig thing as did your own physi. clan, Now what is the best thing to do under such circumstances? Well, there must be some reason for your feeling so miserable, so try and think the matter over quietly, and ask yourself about the food you are eating, the regularity of the meals, your hours of sleep, whether "everything is all right at home with all the family," whether it is some financial loss or some other condi- tion preying on your mind, that is causing your symptoms, It you are honest with yourself and able to put your finger on the reason for your mental depression, you have made a long stride forward in the successful treatment of the trouble. Because your doctor will tell you that these distressing emotions af- fect your appetite, digestion, sleep, heart action, and practically all the processes of the body, The thought then is that if your physician thoroughly overhauls you and finds no organic reason for your symptoms, and thinks your gymp- toms are all in your mind; the cure rests with you, It means the re- moval of the depressing emotions, or replacing them with the opposite kind. , Your best plan is really to tell "all your troubles" to your doctor at the first visit, because he is meeting the same or similar ones in patients every day, and is in the best possible position to help you. So don't go around imagining you have some real serious type of illness because you feel miserable. Get the matter settled at once, or you may make of yourself a chronic "nervous" case, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act) URGES RESEARCH WORK IN CANADA Governor-General Speaks at Inauguration of New Test Pulp Mill Montreal, Que., Feb, 1.--On the occasion of inaugurating the test pulp mill installed in the labore- tory section of the mew pu.p and paper building on the McGill Uni- versity campus recently, Lord Willingdon, Governor-General, re- ferred to the absence through ill ness of Sir Arthur Currie, prin- cipal of the university, u.d ex- pressed regret at his inability to be present, "You all know," sald His Exge,lency, "much better than |, how keenly interested Le was in this great enterprise, how active.y he associated himself in all the negotiations with regard to it, He will regret very much not being presept here, but | am sure you will join with me in hoping sin- cerely that before very long he will return to us full of health and vigor to carry on the great respon. gibilities he has undertaken here as successfully as he has done ip the past, "It is hardly necessary for me to s.ress the necessity of rescar L in all its bearings in a country which ®s working up and develop- fng its industrial and commercial activities, Nor is it necessary to stress that if a country does rot keep very much up-to-date in these ac fvities, it will be left behind mn the keen competition owing to re- search that we see all around us.
