FRIDAY, JUNE 12th, 1931 MAKING A FARCE OF JUSTICE The revelations which have been made in the House of Commons, and in the columns of the Toronto Globe, regarding the man- ner in which a number of stockbrokers are being entertained while serving their terms in the Portsmouth Penitentiary have stirred the minds of a great many people, particularly those who happened to be vic- tims of these same brokers. According to the information-that has been made avail- able, they are being treated as preferred prisoners, are maintained at a farm some miles from Kingston, and apart from being denied their freedom, are almost living the lives of country gentlemen. This kind of thing makes a farce of the administration of justice. There has been much dissatisfaction over the leniency shown by magistrates and judges in sen- tencing these men, whose defalcations run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. It was felt that, in comparison with others who had committed crimes of lesser import. ance, they were given punishment that was far too light. Now that they are serving their terms, it is revealed that special steps are being taken to make their period of in- carceration as pleasant and comfortable for them as possible. : We do not think it is necessary to be vin- dictive about this matter, but at the same time these men should not be considered as a preferred class. They have broken the laws in a flagrant way, and should be treat- ed exactly as other criminals are treated. The public of Canada will not accept with equanimity the disclosures that the posses- sion of wealth, no matter how ill-gotten, is a means of securing preferred treatment for men who have brazenly defrauded their fellows, have been convicted and sentenced for so doing, and are now being molly-cod- dled on a farm when they were expected to be expiating their crimes inside peniten- tiary walls. CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR STUDENTS This is the time of the year when uni- versities are sending their graduates forth into the world, to use the knowledge they have . acquired, and to demonstrate the value of the liberal education they have received in the arts and sicences. It is a time of anxiety for some. students who have not, perhaps, been as successful as they would have wished, and it is a time of re- joicing for others, who have won the laureis on which they minds were set when they started on their university courses four or five years ago. Oshawa has its fair share of graduating students in these days. These graduates, who have earned their degrees by close ap- plication to their studies and work, have won honor for themselves and for the.eom- munities in which they live. They are to be congratulated, not merely on the fact that hereafter they will have the right to carry certain letters after their names, but because they have made good use of the opportunities which have been opened up for them, sometimes at the cost of consid- erable sacrifice on the part of their parents. They are to. be congratulated on the suc- cessful close of their academic careers, and on having equipped themselves well to meet the battles of life in their chosen vocations. In congratuating Oshawa's list of gradu- ates, we do so in the hope that their gradu- ation marks the beninning of careers of usefulness to themselves and to others, careers in which they will ever remember that education and training does not end with the conferring of the university de- gree, but continues all through life. 3 'CAN'T LAST FOREVER Depressions never last forever. Cheer- ful expressions like this are made by editors and statisticians as they reflect on the way business has gone up and down every few years with almost clock-like regularity for the last three-quarters of a century. Busi. ness men, the Literary Digest finds, are looking at charts showing the alterna- "tion of supernormal and subnormal periods. Studying also the figures showing increased retail buying during these spring months, the Washington Post, starting off with the phrase used above, concludes: that these facts all "lend encouragement to the belief * that the prolonged depression has touched bottom, and that if the hoped-for spring re- covery is not as strong as it promised to be early in the year, the traditional up-grade will be distinctly visible this summer and well under way during the fall months." REGULATING MOTOR SPEED Speaking at Alliston, Ont., a few days ago,- Premier George S. Henry intimated that more drastic regulations would prob ably be adopted in interests of safety on the public highways. He stated that 500 lives had been sacrificed by the automobile in this Province during the past year. He said that any car driven over sixty miles per hour was going far too fast for safety. He further stated that unless motorists were more careful, the state would have to pass a law compelling manufacturers to gear all cars not to ge above a certain safe rate of speed. He had enquired of manu- facturers why they should stress the ability of their cars to make eighty miles an hour, but not one of them could give him an an- swer. Speeding and cutting-in, continued the Premier, were responsible for the ma- jority of accidents on the highways. It is evident that drastic measures will soon have to be taken to protect the public from such idiots. The death rate has grown al- armingly high in Ontario, and some action is urgent. Depriving offenders of simple rules of their right to operate cars after a first warning is not too great a penalty for those who show no regard for human life and limb. The widening of the main lines of travel must ultimately be given some thought by the Department of Highways. In the neighboring republic new roads are being constructed three cars wide, thus giv- ing ample opportunity to pass a slow driver without danger of collision with an ap- proaching motor. Limes of white divide the road into three sections, but these con- verge on hills and curves, thus preventing cutting in at dangerous points. Those who disregard the lines of traffic are punished by forfeiting their right to drive. The con- struction of roads of this nature, and the insistence on regulations being obeyed, would do much to lessen the growing toll of deaths.--Gananoque Reporter.

HEPBURN 1S WISE (Stratford Beacon Herald) ; Every time an opening comes in the Ontario Leg- islature it 1s suggested that M.

We can't see why Mr, Hepburn, if he still wants to lead the Liberals in Ontario, should he coaxed away from his Mvourite stamping ground.

The Pontiff, so far as could he learned, is insistent upon the princi- ples which he feels are involvel. It was stated in responsible quar- ters that the Pope refused to con- sider the Duce's offer to permit re- opening of Catholic clubs for wo- men and girls, replying. in effect that all or none of the Catholic Clubs recently dissolved must be restored to good standing. Premier Mussolini's offer was re- garded as the first definite result of sccret conversations -"'~h Mar- chese Pacelli, Papal emissary, has had with Mussolini, supposedly at the latter's home, Proofs Are Sought Pope Pius himself was understood to have written a brief editorial in Osservatore Romano which de- mands that the Fascists present proofs, if they have them, that the Catholic Clubs were political. This editorial accepts as a fact that the Fascsti attitude remains unchanged and speaks with scorn of the Fas- cist party's "respect" for the Church and the Pope. It was declared in Vatican circles that the Popes have been willing for fifty-nine years to be "prisoners" waiting settlement of the Roman question and that they can wait months, years or centuries for what they consider their rights. The Pope's position, it was said, was one of disregarding the Fascist party, insistng that the Government must speak for itself. He holds that Premier Mussolini claims to have a strong unified Government and that he should show it by controlling Fascist denominations of violence. The Pontiff is represented as hold ing that Mussolini must enforce the Lateran Treaty declaring that the "person of the supreme Pontiff is sacred and inviolable" and that pub- lic offences committed on Italian territory against the person of the Pontiff by speeches and acts are punishable in the same manncr as against the King of Italy. The Concordat, it was stated, sanctions Catholic action and until there is proof that it is political, the Vatican contends it is inviolate, In line with this reasoning, the Vatican already has demanded re- paration.and the arrest and punish ment of those guilty of cxcesse against thé church and is awaiting a reply from the government, Intimation of Redress Although Italian papers have re- frained from discussing the con- troversy, Premier Mussolini's bro- ther, Arnold Mussolini, yesterday gave the first intimation that some satisfaction may be accorded An editorial in his paper, Popolo D'Ita- lia. in Milan, called the recent dem onsgrations "tumultuous cxcesses, but inevitable." Government circles quite frankly recognize there is a feeling of an- | xiety in Italy over the clash be- tween the Church and State. One | cause of this is the church's self imposed restrictions such as the ab- olition of processions which form an important part in the life of many millions. The Government is closely watching the cffect of this anxiety to determine whether it will | react on Fascism in any way The Vatican has recelved hun dreds of messages of sympathy and encouragement to Pope Pius. world play of commodity prices accounts for this quicker steadi- English commodity he said, ness of WHITBY-LINDSAY "BAPTIST ASSOC.

"She is Miss Georgina Fane Pope, one of the | daughters of Judge W. H. Pope ¢ Father of Confederation, and sis ter of Sir Joseph Pope, for go long | the loyzl privdte secretary to 8ir | John A, MacDonald. Forty vears | ago, when the nursing profession | was still in its infancy and it was | still a new thing for girls of cul- | { ture and refinement to devote | themselves to attendance on the sick. George Pope set out from | Charlottetown for New York, | where she entered the Bellevue | Hospital, the mother of training schools in America. "After her graduation in Belle- | vue Hospital, Miss Pope who had already indicated her executive | ability, went direct to the post of superintendent of a private hos- pital in Washington, in the van- guard of that host of Canadian | Yuraes who have since established | themselves in the choicest posts | in the nursing profession in the | United States, From the private hospital Miss Pope -went to the | Columbia Hospital for Women in | the same city, where she started a | training school for nurses. | "Later she went into further | post-graduate studies . until the autumn of 1899 when, for the first | time in its history, Canada was | arming troops for the defence of | the British ideal abroad. Col. J. | L. Neilson, then director of medi- cal services at Ottawa, offered | Miss Pope the privilege of organ- izing a little nursing service which was to sail aboard with Canada's first overseas contingent, to the South African War. There were no precedents, not even a uniform for Canadian nurses. Miss Pope selected a uniform which consist. ed of a bicycle skirt and a Rus- sian blouse, with brown leather shoes and belt, a khaki hat with a red brush. There were three other sisters in Miss Pope's little detachment, . , . "The Canadian nurses were sent to Nunber One Hospital at Wyn- berg where they were badly need- ed. At that time there were only 40 nurses on duty in the whole of the armies at the Cape. A year later there were a thousand. The first patients to pass through the hands of the Canadians wero the men from the conflicts at Magers- fontein and Modder River. On Christmas Day the four nurses reached a new post, a 600 bed hospital at Ronderbosch, where they lived under canvas for six months in daily terror of scor- pions and snakes, and suffering from sand and rain storms. When the British troops left Halifax and a Canadian garrison took over the defence of the city, Miss Pope was appointed to take charge of the station hospital and there be- gan long years of devoted service to the soldiers and sailors of the port city. When the Great War broke out Miss Pope again volun- teered and was among the first to cross the sea, There she served ig turn as Matron of Arpington and Taplow Hospitals, and then cross- ed to France as Matron of Number two, Canadian Stationary Hospital. She was invalided home in 1919 and is now living quietly--as quietly as such an energetic per- son can live--in her native city." Post-War Revolt in Literature Reviewed Montreal, June 11.--A distinct revolutionary tendency, showing itself in a determination to dis- card all old standards, is the most marked characteristic of post-war English literature, stated S.
