Northrup, Manager. PANACEA TO GOOD GOVERNMENT Prof. Leacock, McGill University, is evidently out of tune with the Fed- eral Government which he helped to elect. He opposed Reciprocity. He played into the hands of the men who dictate the policy of the Gov- ernment, and he is now compelled to say: "When a manufacturer in an in- dustry already protected to the ex- tent of twenty, thirty or forty per cent. raises a clamor for the exclu- sion of foreign goods, the thing passes from protection to plunder. The proper answer for such a man is to throw at his head 'a militia boot with a paper sole and a hole in the side." He sees no virtue in the "Made in Canada" slogan. It can be carried too for, and to the, disadvantage of the whole people, Developing the business of Canada to the largest ex- _ tent, if the interests of the labour- capital, and labour as much as capi- 4al, is a fine thing. But developing capital at the expense of the labour: er and consumer is another thing, and one which the free trader, or tar iff for revenue men only does not ap- prove. It would appear by Prof. Leacock's article in the University Press that he has regretted, if not re- pented, of his course in the last elec- tion. I ------------ p ' J. M. Tellier, the leader of the op. position in the Quebec Legislature, doclines a-seat in the Federal Gov- ernment, which shows his good judg- ment. Quebec promises to make a national wreck of any one who throws in his fortune with the Bor- den Government at the present time. POWER OF EXAMPLE. ' The example of Britain, in the un- auimity with which all parties have worked in connection with the war, suggests to the New York Herald the feasibility of bringing the leading men of America into conference on the same subject. "*Ys it not high tfme," asks the Herald "for our politicians and party to lay aside differences of nion and come togétlier for the good of the country on the one all absorbing, all important matter concerning the nation? Mr. Wilson may have ripe and experienced advisers, although they are not known, and such men . Mr. Taft, Mr, Roosevelt, Mr. Root and Mr. Knox are far too broad to stand aloof if he should call them in- to consultation. = The country first! | { i _-- These differences should "ntirely dis- appear, and they will if the Govern-| ment undertakes to run only one) thing at a time, the war, and to let| every other issue go. The British Government will con- trol the liquor trade absolutely In certain districts, and a Royal Com- mission will have the power of de- ciding what the license-holders should be. earn their fees. DEVILISHNESS OF GERMANY. Let us hope that the story is not] true that the Germans, in pure devil- try, and in éxhibition of the black- ness of their hearts, have put a num- ber of British prisoners into a Zep- peli hangar 4nd burned them. to death. Vengeance is mine, says the average German, acting in the spirit of 'the war lords, and of the Kaiser | himselt, but there is a God that will take care of these miscreants if the powers of earth fail to call them to account. "When we come to the end of the war," sald the Premier of England, "we shall not forget the horrible record or calculated cruelty. and crime, and we shall hold it to be our duty to exact just reparation against those who are proved to be guilty agents and actors as it may be pos- sible for us to do." Speaking, we are told, with great- er emotion and animation than the cold of stern fighter ministers had ever before displayed, Lord Kitch- ener had denounced Germany's "flagrant disregard" for the articles of the Hague Convention while they vied for murderous savagery with the behaviour of the Dervishes of the Soudan. Two of the Hague arti- cles he quoted: Article 4 reads as follows: "Pris- oners of war must" be humanely treated. All their personal belong- ings, except arms, horses, and mili- tary papers, remain their property. "Article 7 lays down that: Pris- oners of war shall be treated as re- gards rations, quarters, and clothing on the same footing as the troops of the Government which captures them. These articles have been disregard- ed by Germany. The British pris- oners have been maltreated in vari- ous ways, They had been shot, de- liberately and in cold blood. They had been stripped when wounded, in- sulted, and abused in the detention camps. They had been starved and subjected to solitary confinement. Last of all they had been overcome with delerious gases, though Ger- many had been a signatory to the ar- ticle at the Hague which provided" that those gases should not be used. Language failed Lord Kitchener, and his associates in describing the autrocities of the Germans, and genius may fail them later in invent- ing suitable forms of punishment of the guilty. But Mr. Asquith says reparation must be made, and pre: sumably in kind and degree to meet the exigencies in each case. EDITORIAL NOTES. Hon, "Bob" Rogers can see his finish as a political boss in Manitoba, Without the control of the voters' lists he is undone in that province. Eighteen, new automobiles, of one make and style, reached the city on Wednesday. An evidence that some people, and perhaps the larger number, are not suffering from the hard times. The Hamilton Herald is right. Fast cruisers are not of special ser vice in convoying merchantmen through the war sone. What are wanted is torpedo boat destroyers, which are fastér than the cruisers and designed for the service to which they are assigned. Germany says the, damage by]. its submarines to neutral ships will be paid for without recourse to. the | prize courts. What of the lives that were sacrificed on neutral ships by the destruction of these submarines? Will they be paid for? many in this respect buy buflicient atonement ?

A sergeant in the British Army, writing to the London Chronicle, says that in a retreat from the en- emy's trenches at Bois d'Ailly, he "saw a German officer 'exterminate about fifty wounded men who had not been able to get away" The sight almost made him crazy. Of the records of German barbarities there seems to be no end. Some of the Lords in England are finding fault because the papers do not print more of their speeches. The papers are to be congratulated. They are showing great discrimina- tion. THe details of what the na- tion's heroes are doing at the front are of infinitely greafpr value than the warblings of some of those has- been legislators. PUBLIC OPINION. | Answer Later.

We have received a short poem of a remarkable character. The lines were composed on Christmas Day, 1911, and were written by a relative of a Burnley gentleman, who has shown them to us as a curious in- stance of prophecy. The author is J. R. Vaine, whose name is associat- ed with many poems and songs, which he has himself set to music, He has been many years in America, and the poem is therefore interesting as a case of American prescience. The German War Ory. To arms, to arms, to arms-- This is the Germans' cry, To arms, to arms, to arms-- You see our colours fly! You English and the French we'll meet, And sink the ships of 3 your big fleet, And let you see that we cau beat! To arms, to arms, to arms! To war, to war, to war, You hear the Germans shout, To war, to war, to war-- We'll knock you English out! For all your ships upon the sea Will not stop us, as you will see; Our mighty strength will make you flee From war, from war, from war! To war, to war, to war With the Ruler of the Waves; To war, to war, to war,-- We'll make you Britons slaves, So we can rule o'er land and sea; For the Emperor of Germany On England's throne he longs to be-- He fries, "To war, to war!" To fo. to arms, to arms, We'r ready for the fray; To arms, to arms, to arms, We'll sail at break of day, And rouse the Lion from hisifien-- You time is very near the end; You know, it well, so do your men-- It's war, it's war, it's war! The English War Cry. To arms, to arms, to arms, We hear your German cry; To arms, to arms, to arms-- And our colours also fly! Our ships of steel are on the wave, Waiting for your Emperor brave To venture near the Lion's cave With arms, with arms, with arms! To war, 10 war, to war! You'll ind us ready, too, To war, to war, to war, With a gallant mighty crew, Our ships are not so easy sunk As German ships--what we can junk So keep your Emperor from his bunk In times of war, of war!

London Mail, The answer ta the famous question "When will the war end?" is "Six months after Great Britaifi has adop- ted national service.". This is the be- lief of the men at the front. "The answer," says Major Baird, "is that it depends entirely on the people of this country putting the weight which a nation of, forty-four millions is capable of putting into the strug- gle. When that is done the strug- gle will be very ndar its end." Un- happily Mr. Lloyd George has just told the nation that Misisters imag- ine the war can be just-as success- fully prosecuted without '"'conscrip- tion". He has not learnt wisdom from the example of Abraham Lin- coln. At the opening of the Civil War and for two years afterwards Lincoln maintained his abhorrence of compulsion, yet he had to come to Genuine, Panama Hats.
