Tresldder, The city council and public utilities come mission were on the right track at their joint meeting of both bodies the other night when they decided to appoint a committee com. posed of members of both bodies to confer on the possibility of erecting an administra. tion office for the city departments, and to go even further, on the part of the council at least, and to prepare a comprehensive plan showing Oshawa's program for large capit- al expenditures during the next few years, This is sensible procedure, In the first place, it makes possible at least the creation of a Joint plan whereby most of the civic de- partments of Oshawa will be centralized un- der one roof, a condition which is much to be desired, and regarding which the people have by thelr vote against the building of a separ- ted police station, expressed their approval, But the council's decision goes even fare ther than that, It marks an attitude of mind which should be productive of useful effort, an attitude of looking ahead, sensing the needs of Oshawa for large construction pro- Jects, and formulating plans whereby these can be carried out with the minimum of bur. den on the shoulders of the ratepayers of the city. There are, at the present time, three ma. Jor projects with which the city. council must of necessity deal in the near future, They are, in brief, as fellows: 1, The construction of the Simcoe Street South Subway, which can now be done on very favorable terms to the city. 2. The erection of suitable civic buildings to house all the various municipal depart. ments: RENEE 8. The establishment of a proper system of sewage disposal, and construction of a mod. ern sewage disposal plant, These Are the main projection which the city souncil will, it is expected, concentrate its attention, They are not given in order of importance, because opinions must of nec- vary on that peint, The dubway construction project should come first, be- catse it is of such outstanding importance to the whole plan of development of Oshe awa. The problem of city buildings, how ever, is also an important one, because the need for accommodation, on an economical and adequate basis, for the public utilities commission, has made the subject once in a live issue. And the problem of de- disposal is one which warrants early attention, because there is no assurance that the provincial health department will not step in and issue a mmndatory order, coms palling the cily to undertake this project. ' This has been done before this time in other communities, and if the council does not show a Willingness to deal with the problem, then it 1s quite possible for the provincial "health authorities to order that it be done, One cannot expect, of course, that the is going to be stampeded into any- The only assurance for which the anal is an assurance that things are to be allowed to drift, but that ill be burly attention and Sols dora. given to these projects, so that what. Eid hw is reached as to immediate construction work, that work may be under.

' | They are used exclusively by the province, and therefore it is only right that the pro. vines should pay the expense of gotting them In the past, other requests have been made to the provinclal government that it assume its own burdens in this regard, instead of shelving them on the shoulders of the muni. cipalities, Little or no notice has been tak- en of these requésts, but it is not unresson- able to belleve that if the municipalities of Ontario united to present an united front in protest against this unjust imposition of ex- pense on thelr shoulders, satisfactory results might be secured. It Is, at least, well worth trying, rp------ A REGRETTABLE TRAGEDY For the first time in nearly two decades, the city of Oshawa has been deeply shock- ed by the tragedy which occurred on Tues- day, when a young woman, Mrs, Willlam Morrison, was brutally murdered, The shock was all the greater, perhaps, because of the fact that Oshawa has enjoyed so long a period of immunity from crime of this kind, One cannot, of course, enter into any discussion of the crime itself, or the pos- sible motives which prompted it, save to say that it is sincerely regretted by all citizens of the community, Murders do not provide exactly the best type of publicity for any community, even when they are so rare as to cause an un- usual sensation when they occur, They un- doubtedly stir people's hearts and minds, and the present case Is of such a distressing na- ture that this feeling has been greatly ace centuated, The predominent feeling, how ever, is bound to be one of sincere sympathy for the two young boys who have been left behind, and for the family of the young wo- man who was done to death, Bereavement always creates a close humsn bond of sym- pathy, and this becomes all the stronger when death comes in this form, The people of Oshawa will have nothing but the most heartfelt sympathy for all who are related to the persons involved in the tragedy, and this may be some comfort to them In thelr time of great sorrow and trial. CAN WAR BE HUMANIZED? One of the paradoxical features of the London naval conference was the claim that, as & Yesult of the agreement reached, pro- gress was made towards humanizing sub marine warfare. The thought behind this agreement was a worthy one, but yet the words used to describe are anomalous, since any proposals to humanize warfare are farclal so long as warfare itself exists, Warfare, in fact, cannot be humanized, It is the most inhuman business that mankind over engaged in, for its basic principal is the killing by men of their fellow-creatures. Men who go to war go there with one prime object in view, to kill thelr enemies, so that they themselves might be able to escape be- ing killed, And the more men killed: the greater the victory in the sight of those who are in command, How can a business like that be humanized? It may be arranged to have: the killing made as painless as pos- sible, but ft is killing, nevertheless, and there is nothing human in that, od Men may make all the rules they like for the conduct of any kind of warfare, but the experience of history has shown that, once war is declared, little respect is paid 'to rules, except the rules of expediency, The last war was terrible in its use of gigantic weap- ons of war, against which mere men were helpless pawns in a tremendous game of slaughter, No rules could be devised to hu. manize that kind of thing. In fact, the side which could devise the most powerful wens pons of slaughter is the side which has the advantage, even though every principal of humanity had to be violated in so doing, No, warfare can never be humanized, be. cause it is in itself an inhuman business, and should there ever come another war, its horrors will be such that those of the last war will fade into insignificance. The only way in which war can be humanized is by its total abolition, and if the powers are real- ly sincere in their desire to have humanity play some part in the settlement of interna- tional troubles and disputes, that is the only way in which it can be done.

Mitror) The salt tax, of which we are hear» ing so much ut the moment, Is not an Impost new to India, but an ans cient method of raising revenue which the East Indin Company ine herited from the Hoghul Empire, Collected at first in Bengal, it was afterwards extended to other dist riets, The native peasants are great consumers of salt as one of the cons diments to correct the Insipidity of thelr vegetable diet, The manufac ture, which has diminished in some districts owing to the Importations of foreign. salt, is largely in the hands of private firms, but Is also carried on under Government agents, the product being subject to excise, FOR MEN OVER FORTY (Stratford Bencon-Herald) This particular editorial Is intend. ed for men over forty years of age; we don't care how far over that mark you may be, this will interest you Just the same, There was a famous race at Bos. ton u few days ago, the distance be- ing 26 miles and 385 yards, We all know that running the 385 yards would be a great task in itself, Pro. bably most of us would huff and puff a very great deal by the time we creaked and lumbered down such a stretch as that, Now here's the point for this Past.
