Lloyd George's Canadian admirers, who are a legion, do not believe that he is eager to oust Mr. Asquith from the Premiership of Britain. He may later succeed to the honor and res- ponsibility as the well-earned re ward of his present position, but he is content apparently 'for the present to work out his schemes with an in- dustry and patience that promise the Breatest success, He can afford to wait and meanwhile serve under the greatest Premier that England has ever had. "There never was a crisis like this, a time when great men needed calmness and judgment with which to deal with great and trying issues. The Premier to-day is the one man who 1s fitted peculiarly for his office. He ig cool-minded and deliberate and logical and never 1os- es his head, He can parry the pet- ty attacks of his tormentors with great skill, and when he speaks, as occasion requires, it is with 'an ef- fect that is irresistible and emphatic and complete. -------- HAS ANYBODY SEEN KELLY? The public prosecution of the Pre- mier, and his associates in the late Manitoba Government, is not a bluff game. They are surely open to punishment for allowing the Provin- ce to be robbed of hundreds of thou- sands of dollars. The plundering was not, it appears confined to the parliament buildings. The new treasurer finds that the trail of the grafter is to be found in connection with every public work. The agricultural college records are now being examined, and according to present conclusions Kelly got nearly h 5: million dollars more than oi ntitled to on a million 1 dollar chntract. The new Govern- mént 1 get after him for this and demand restitution. Some idea of the Government's ex- travagance is to be found in the fact that it paid $20,000 for a swine barn, $10,000 for a brooder house in con- nection with the poultry department; $24,000 for a laying house for chic- kens; $7,000 for a fattening house for chickens; $2,600 for fences to keep the chickens within bounds, and $3,800 for a graded chicken run way. Fortunately the evidence of crook- edness in this case is not disposed of. The contracts were not torn up and consigned to the flames. Inciden- tally it will be observed that the , Scheme to save Kelly from the Math- er's Commissicn has been defeated in the courts. Kelly's lawyer ap- plied for an injunction, which aim- ed to restrain the Royal Commiss- fon from getting after the contractor and compelling him to give evidence against the Roblin Government. The court refused the injunction and Mr. Kelly must appear sooner or later, or keep out of Canada; in- deed, it is a question of law whether | the Commission cannot pursue him into his retreat in the United States and force him to clear up all the mysteries in which he is concern- ed. - PRAYERS FOR VICTORY, The Governments of Britain and Canada are looking to the churches for, moral strength in this war, 'There Is an anxiety (1) to know that the people are approving of what the _Goveriments are doing, and (2) that the people are praying for the suc- _ cess of the Allies. At such a time 1 1a nf a question recurs that the Empire is in danger | and that it must be saved at any cost | The political parties must unite. The | people must be of one mind. The | churches must exhibit no dividing line. | In the second place Britajn is the | foremost of the Allies and Britain is | a Christian nation, Her constitu- | tion is based upon the truth of the [B'ble God and the Right above all] The plea then is for appeals, | earnest and persistent, and to the | one Great and Su Ruler of the Universe. Perhaps it {is a little late to set up the theory | that in this war the Great and Eter- | nal One directs. The Kaiser has had the monopoly of the Deity thus far, Now the Allies remember that in the first wars recorded in the | Bible Moses controlled the forces, ! | and 80. long as his hands were lifted | towards Heaven vailed. Again the hands of the Church are raised towards Heaven, and they are to be kept raised if the Allies would succeed, It-is to be a victory of | genuine belief, WHY PASS THE HAT? | else. tia, Hon. J. A. Lougheed should not have encouraged individual patriot- ism or private generosity to pass | round the hat for the purchase of machine guns. All Canadians would gladly con- tribute if the mere process of pass- ing round the hat could cause two machine \guns to be made where one was made\before. | The country is being told that the | Borden Government 1s so incompet- | ent that Canada'y soldiers will not be equipped with machine guns un- less the people take the work of buying these machine guns into their own hands and purchase the Buns with their own contributions. Canada's Government could not | bd expeated to refuse offers that | come from generous and wealthy in-| dividuals who are anxious to pur-| chase machine guns. But Canada's | Government ought not encourage! individuals to do the work that the | Government should do. Every dol-| lar that is put into the hat that is | passed round for the purchase of| machine guns means that one- 18s! dollar will be put into the hats that will have to be passed round for the purchase of comforts for the soldiers | and their dependents, and for the| care of the wounded.~--Teronto | Telegram (Conservative.) THE MAGIC OF MONEY. | This week's cartoon illustrates an- | other feature of Community Build-| ing. It brings out prominently the | central idea of this educational cam- | paign. If one wants to build up | home interest, home trade, home | successes he must spend his money | where he earns it--at home. There is a satisfaction in knowing that the cash one puts in circulation, even when wisely and economically expended, will help every one through whose hands it passes, The dollar bill leaves the bank upon its winged way and after a time reaches the bank again, there to rest for a while and again resume its benefi- cent journey. It has a magic touch. It acts like oil upon the machinery of business. Every person who depends upon his fellows and their support for his Success wants to be a Community Builder. The first essential is a sound and unalterable belief in him- self, and in his plans, business plans and purposes. He must know the rules of the game and play the game fairly. He cannot expect the loyal support of others when he is not loyal in his support of them. The Community Builder is, there- fore, a fair man, one who follows the golden rule, not occasionally, but always, and never wedries in well- doing. He does unto others as he would that they should do unto him, and so he has no reproaches to offer or receive. His building is on solid ground, and he is building a struc- ture that will endure, 4 - EDITORIAL NOTES. The German spy is intrepid.
