The St. Catharines Standard is anxious to see in Canada a union Government, one composed of men who would administer the affairs of the State with absolute independence during the continuance of the war. The example of Great Britain at the present time does not lend much en- couragement to this proposition. ge Bldg. MORE CLASS TALK. F. R. Jones, of London, Eng., a capitalist, now in Toronto, disap- proves of conscription on the ground that the three million volunteers, now in the service of the King, would not want to®ight shoulder to shoulder with conscripts. Why not? One must not be too particular on certain points when the life of a na- tion is imperilled. OUR PARCEL POST. The Canadian Grocer attacks the Canadian Parcel Post system and in- timates that it is not paying. That is not a reason why it should be dis- continued. If people are not mak- ing the greater use of the Parcel 'Post it is because that they do not know of its value to them. A little judicious advertising on the part of the Government would improve the situation. A WORTHY PAIR. The publisher of the New York American, and other papers in the United States Mr. Hearst, has en- tered into an arrangement with Lord Northeliffe, of London, to pro- duce some of his anti-Government literature. They could not be do- ing the enemy a greater service, in discrediting the British Government and British conduct of the war, if they were native Germans. Hearst could not be expected to say any- thing good of Great Britain or of its military service; but Lord North- cliffe, who owes so much te the Brit- ish people and the British Govern- ment, ought to be ashamed of him- gp seit. WAR IN TORONTO. The mimic war between the Sportsman's Patriotic League and the Ministerial Association of Toronto, Jor some members of it, has attract- ed wide attention because of the bit- *ferness of it. The two organiza- tions represent different standards. The sportsmen are given to outdoor diversions of a legitimate and laud- able character. Men must have physi- cal exercise and find it in the sport of the day. The ministers are, in a sense, the custodians of the public morals. They must be clearly out- spoken when there is a necessity for it. The sportsmen have done a splen- did patriotic work. They have, as the president has pointed out, spent thousands of dollars for the men in the trenches, and have sent goods there, as well as paying a thousand dollars in cash for a band for them. The sportsmen have supplied Niagara Camp with every conceivable kind of games and sporting goods. . They had on hand, latterly, the opening of a club for returning soldiers, and at an estimated cost of several thous- and dollars. They had the opportu- nity of exhibiting in Massey Hall the moving pictures of the Johnson-Wil- lard prize fight, and the Ontario Gov- ernment had quietly or secretly re- moved the censor's ban for the time being. Some ministers, not the Ministerial Association, - protested, and the Government, through Mr. McGarry, forbade the exhibition. At once there was a row. - The Sports- men's Association threatened to dis- ed. So wis the Government for its wobbling upon the subject. A great deal of bad feeling was engendered. | Calmly considered, thére was not | much ground for all.the fuss. The | sportsmen might have sought some {other way of raising the money they [needed for the soldiers' club. True, | the pictures were of a sporting char- j acter, The public censor said they | were harmless. They had been re- | presseq; however, and that Meant | very much. The ministers did not | deserve the censure that was passed upon them. They did not succeed |as well as the sportsmen in®raising | money for patriotic purposes. That | the last provincial turn over. has been said to their discredit. They | had not the same opportunities at | their command, and they were not | expected to trespass upon the pre- serves of the sportsmen. The min- | isters are expected to represent ideals {at all times, and when they fail to do | this--when they cease to live up to | their own teachings--they will Igse | their influence and rightful place in | the community. | HENRY FORD AGAIN. Henry Ford has been been heard | from again and through the present | head of the Canadign Ford Company.

Next the pres- ent head of the Canadian Ford Com- pany announced that it would take a million dollars. of the Canadian loan when it-was floated in order to show its sympathy with the Government. Finally it is intimated that Mr. Ford's original remark, the one that made all the commotion and that is still having a most disturbing effect, was not intended for publication; and, like a lot of the smart talk. in which some men indulge, it has done a heap of harm. The millionaire may have learned a lesson. He knows how to make automobiles that will sell, but success in that line of business does not quality him to dis- cuss. with authority everything that occupies the minds of men. THE KING'S APPEAL. The personal appeal of George carries with it the one strong conviction, namely, that the coun- try's need of recruits is very great, and that if His-Majesty's plea be not effective there will be no help for it but to resort to conscription. Qne of the British labor leaders, Mr. Ammon, in passing through New York for Fan Francisco, there to at- tend the convention of the Federa- Jeet. Mr. Ammon fears conscrip- tion for the effect it' will have upon the Labor party and its problems af- ter the war Conscription repre- sents a power which can be used de- liberately and deleteriously in ad- justing domestic difficulties. "La- bor has not forgotten," says this la- bor leader, "how the strike of the French Government railroad em- ployees was broken by the Briand Ministry by calling the men to the colors. They had to go or be shot as traitors. The pretext was not even put forward then that France was threatened by an enemy on the outside, but the men were called out to put a stop to internal troubles-- that is, the strikers were called to arms to put-down by force their own strike." So the labor leaders are against conscription, and fight it with great pertinacity, 'They say that the en- listment of men is going on volun- tarily as fast as they can be for military service, that Kitchener would favor compulsion if he felt that it were necessary, and he has | not yet spoken the word, At the 'ame time it must be admitted that recruiting has not progressed satis- factorily or the King would not be induced to address his people upon the subject. Lord Derby's plan of making drafts upon the eligible men is not on trial. It is a form of conscription which was tried in the United States during the Civil War, and with the best results. The draft produced the men whefi they were required, and it remains to be seen whether it wiil produce the men in Britain. . Two statements of the British able: (1) That either at home or abroad, in the factories, the shops, or the trences, Britain has between four millions and five millions of men under emlistmént; (2) _that there are not more than 300,000 eligibles available for military purposes. does not accord with the declaration of the London Mall, that there are in London alone a couple of million per- sons who should have enlisted gnd experiment that is now being tried, under power of Parliament and by Lord Derby, will settle all the specu- | elected in Brandon by acclamation He was not its | King | tion of Labor, has spoken on the sub- | eat." labor leader in New York are not- | can be drafted into the service.

Once upon a time Mary went to | the bake shop to get some buns for | her mother, They were not yet | made and the woman asked her If | $he would like to wait and see her | make them: Mary thought it great | fun to see the butter and sugar creamed and made into. little cakes, and to see the biscuit and rolls cut | and baked. The next day she went there the woman asked if she would like to come earlier and make some little cakes for heérself. Mary's mother said she could, so the next day she went with a nice tlean apron ready for work. Mary was given a place near the other bakers with a tiny biscuit cut- ter ahd all the things necessary to make her cakes. She took a great deal of care and did just as she was told, so that when the cakes were done, they looked '"'nice enough te a ang The woman put them in the show- case for everyone, to see and Mary stood by looking proudly at them. A. lady came into the shop just then and bought some cookies, and, as she was waiting for her change, she saw the tiny biscuit in the show care. "I want to buy all of thoce biscuits for my little girl's birthday," she said. "How much are they?" ' The 'woman told her the price and that a little girl had made them and after the customer had gone, she gavé Mary half the money she had received forthe cakes. Then she ask- ed Mary to come everyday she could and make biscuits for her. « Mary ran home as fast as she could and showed her. mother the money she had earned and told how she was going to earn a lot more if her mother wopld let her. Mary worked very ha and ' 'when she grew: glder she had a bake shop all of her own, but she never forgot how she made her first biscuit.

A Tribute To Kingston's Charming Poetess. Toronto Globe. 2 When a newspapef man said yes- terday, apropos of Toronto's privi- lege in sheltering Miss, Machar for even a few days, "Do you suppose the boys and girls who learn her po- etry in school, and ' indeed many grown people, outside of the fortu- nate few who really know her, real- ize that Agnes Maule Machar is a real person?' it was a new idea, Miss Machar as a breathing personality who loves children and dumb ani-: mals, and has a divine sympathy for joy as well as sorrow, so overshadows the poet and Imperialist in the minds of those who touch her daily life that they have been more apt to lose sight of her large significance to the world than of her human individuality. The little woman whose "Lays of the True North" have gone singing rgund (the world, has two detesta- tions (and probably only two)--and one is oppression of the weak, the other publicity, beyond the merely formal notices of her literary work. So little of her life history has escap- ed beyond the borders of Kingston, the city of her birth. - Her Priceless Heritage. The daughter of a Presbyterian minister who came from Scotland to the new world, and a gentle Scots girl who followed him across the wa- ter to become his bride, Agnes Maule Maehar inherited . that blood which has cemented the foundations of Em- pire in many lands. Born near the spot where the Indian lit his council fires, where Frontenac had built his fort, and the British flag was first unfurled in Canada, the'young spirit breathed in the of history and saw visions withheld from older eyes, and, while those red splashes on the map which we call Dominions were still "the colonies," she had dipped with Tennyson into the futare and seen "the wonders that would be." Through the same atmosphere as Macdonald and Mackenzie and Mowat, and many another maker of Canada, she glimpsed * "a greater Britain of the west to be," and has Canada "live a history of her own." Yes, Agnes Maule Machar is a very. real person, rich in hospitality, abounding in works of charity of which not even her nearest know, writing tirelessly, not poetry alone, but prose, with the allegiation of some suffering or the righti of some wrong as its end, co ntly thinking out new ways to interest . children in the care of "God's little lation presently... . vo ! " helping in the trueness of a womanly heart every movement which makes for woman's better- ment, and Canada is greater because she calls it Home. B. B. EVENT AT WATERTOWN. N. Y. ---- Miss Mary B.
