working together no more convincing evidence of the harmonious relations existing between canada and the united states can be given than the friendly agreement con cluded at washington a week or so ago between hon ernest lapomte canadian minister of justice and secretary of stato hughes looking to the suppres sion of smuggling and the illicit trade in liquor and narcotics across tho international boundary the agreement provides for the use df the machinery of both governments at the request of either records and witnesses are to cross tho boundary lino as they would from province to province or stato to state the agreement is gratifying as expressing the sin cere desire on the part of both governments to stamp out by effective legal means a traffic equally ob noxious to both electric current well the cure is easy someone suggests dont put your hands under the seats a very good suggestion indeed but one difficult to carry out in these days when theatre restaurant and even church scats very frequently havo hat racks underneath there is another prescription though since it is neither so obvious nor direct it may jiot have tho samcappeal that is to have tho niccness to dispose of ones gum at least in public where it will not be offensive to others there is a good deal i of talk about personal liberty in certain circles these days and heres a good opportunity for its working out for instance while the writcnis quite willing to grant the personal liberty to gum chewers to use the stuff in the right place and gum has its pldi he docs suggest that he and you also for you who read this havo likewise suffered should have the per sonal liberty of putting our hands on a seat without being subject to this prevailing nuisance this not while you port i are partner in

profits most who serves best continues to swing round the world the way it has done tho past year or two there wont be much possibility of anothergrcat war the fact that rotary includes in its member

tou must hnvf rritt rj n nar the passings of the church union bill in its original form at ottawa last week is decidedly grati fying had the house itaken other action it would havo seemed that principles fouglit and won in long years gone by were being abrogated probably this feature had a good deal to do with the considerable majority in favor of the and nowwhh the three churches facing union onunc 10 1925 there arc a host of details to be worked out not so much as concerns the individual churches which will come more gradually but rather as to tho efficient combining of the executive offices of the churches what would our grandfathers have thought of the present proposal to reshape the face of niagara falls by building dams in tho river just above tho crest and thus controlling the ratoppf erosion and preserving its beauty when father hennepin gaed at tho mighty torrent a century or so ago ho probably had dreams but the dreams certainly would not have been of power development and mans control of nature the whole niagara reglori particularly tho canadian side is such a beauty spot that it appears as if anything within reason which can be done to preserve its attraction for future generations will be well worth while u l tho postal strike in toronto and other centres illustrates rather strikingly how dependent we be come on the public services to the person accus tomed to mall an order to a toronto house one day and receive the goods the next it has been almost unbelievable that the order was not ovcit delivered to the city business house after ten days- if the passage of electric waves had the property of stir ring up friction as docs the utilization of other energy tho wires certainly would have been really hot for the last week or two as tho result of the breakdown of tho mail service had there been no oxpress or telegraph business to a large extent family life would have como to a standstill buffalo had a convention a week or so ago which in aire at least almost equalled tho big rotary gather ing jn toronto it was credit men however who mat in buffalo the chaps who decide how much leeway you and i aro to have financially in our business and in our personal expenditures when cold cash is not readily at hand the size or that convention evidences one of the features of modern business in which with all the ranting that goes on about the honermpn in the good old days trust plays a larger part than evcrjjeforo it is true that we safeguard that trust much more closely than used to be the case but after all one wonders- whether
