' CANADA Not Over Yet When it is found necessary to open a special prison camp in British Columbia Columbia to house unemployed disturb-, 6rs it is idle to talk about the depression depression being completely over,---Peterborough over,---Peterborough Examiner. Tribute to Nurses It is a tribute to Canadian nurses that their services constantly are being being sought in the United States. In fact, Canadians are numerous and highly placed in. all the professions across the border. This can have but one meaning; ability and zeal.--Toronto zeal.--Toronto Globe and Mail. Exemplary Punishment Last week a man was convicted of manslaughter before Mr. Justice Denis Denis of Joliette, Quebec, in connection With a "hit-and-run" fatality, and Judge Denis sent him to penitentiary for seven years. That, we should say, was an adequate penalty, and more of the kind would have an extremely extremely salutary effect.-- Ottawa Journal. Shin Plasters What motive inspired the Bank of Canada to abolish the twenty-five- cent note, the shin plaster? Surely no economy was involved. Did anybody anybody find it a nuisance? A good many found it a convenience for small remittances when a postal note or money order seemed hardly worth while. Children loved; it.--Saint John Telegraph-Journal. People Will Demand it The secretary of the Ontario Medical Medical Association is on safe ground in asserting that state health insurance will come in this country.

Thrill of Plowing "What was the attraction?"; probably probably the first question many persons asked on reading the news despatch reporting an attendance of 25,000 people on the second day and ,45,000 Ofi the third day of the International Plowing Match at Fergus. , Fergus being a town with no great population it would bo readily assumed assumed that a large percentage of the people came from outside points. It would be further assumed that only a small percentage of those 45,000 actually actually took part in the contest. The answer, of course, would be obvious to anybody who knows anything1 anything 1 about plowing. There is nothing nothing like the thrill which accompanies accompanies plowing a straight furrow, and when you can't do the plowing yourself yourself the best thing, is to watch.-- Windsor Star, Co-ordination Is Necessary Since unemployment is a most urgent urgent social and economic problem, it is extremely necessary that the Dominion Dominion and the provinces should get. together on this matter with the least possible Relay. There should be a central administration under a highly- highly- capable executive head, and the different branches throughout the Dominion Dominion should be under able, directors. The expenditure on relief continues higher than necessary because of lack of an efficient system for placing the unemployed in jobs. Why should this remain so? The great scarcity of skilled workers in some parts of the country will suggest bringing in immigrants immigrants of this class. Why bring' in outsiders if there are Canadians who are qualified for the jobs, or can be fitted for them? Unemployment insurance insurance will be adopted in some way before long. Then it will be expedient expedient to keep unemployment at a minimum, minimum, and. this will require a fully organized organized and aggressive employment service. There is every reason for abandoning the present policy of drift. For the srike of the taxpayers and also of the unemployed, the Dominion Dominion and the provinces should lose no time in establishing an efficient, co-ordinated employment service,, which can be modified later if necessary.---Winnipeg necessary.---Winnipeg Free Press. West Riding (Yorkshire) police are to provide a constable -- just a normal normal man-- to undergo a series of tests to find a formula for the post of "official drunkard" the most likely candidates are now being selected. r "v'r ' B--4 ~~ ~ THE EMPIRÉ . Who Will Guarantee ? "The will for peace," President Roosevelt declares, "must express itself itself to the end that nations attempt- ing to violate , agreements and the rights of others will desist from such a course." In that event "the will for peace" takes a curious shape, for what is to be done about the nations nations which, in the late. President Wilson's words, "do not intend peace or justice"? It is easy to say that "injustices and well-founded grievances" grievances" should be removed; but who is to be the judge of them, and who is to guarantee that the aggrieved will be satisfied with what others decide to be justice?--Telegraph and Morning Post (London). Crazy World, Crazy Money Henry Ford once said: "The yard is always 36 inches, but when is a dollar a dollar?" The man in the street reads of Wall Street slumps in share prices, of the rocketing franc, of the jumpiness of stock: exchanges, and the failure of brokers. And the man in the street can be excused for thinking that finance has gone crazy. But the explanation is simple enough. --a world nervous and ill at ease, the Mediterranean full of warships, soldiers soldiers of four or five nations fighting in Spain. And on top of it Japan's savage War on China. How can trade flourish or the world get oil with its job of sharing the abundance that science has made possible? So long as the world is crazy finance will be crazy, too,--London Sunday Chronicle. Chronicle.
