The early issue of the Whig on Sat- urday prevented it from acknowledg- ing the fitness, the appropriateness, and the effectiveness of the appeal which was made by Bishop Fallon on behalf of our national cause. It was pre-eminently the address of the year on this subject. Dr. Fallon studied in Germany many years ago, and he recalled the meaning of the kultur which Britain has in the last féw months learned to abhor and de- test. It meant something that An- glo-Saxons did not suspect, else they would have never sought it as they did, Britain and America and Canada sending their sons to the colleges .of Germany in order to acquire it and 'give 'evidence of its possession hy , farious degrees. But his lordship remembered the leading thought behind it all, namely, that in the event of war everything else was to be subservient to the con- quest of Britain. , It was this, he sald, that awoke in him a new con- sciousness and made him a Britisher In heart and mind and purpose. Upon this thought, and radiating from it, Dr. Fallon delivered an ad- dress of the greatest power, one which was intently listened to and cheered from time to time. Indeed, he seemed to lead his au- dience from point to point, to carry it with him in the elaboration of his argument until it consciously reach- ed the climax and punctuated it with applause. It was a heart to heart talk surely between an eminent citi- ren and his countrymen, and it pre sented the duty of every eligible man a8 no one has been able to do so well. The Whig congratulates his lordship on his splendid effort. As a native of Kingston, he surely, as a thinker and orator, represents it most worthily. The British Columbia harbor case, which is now being considered by the Public Accounts Committee, grows in interest. A witness complained that he was abused when he protest- ed against wrong doing en the part of a contractor, and that, on politi- cal grounds, he was refused the pro- tection of the police department. This is what the Globe calls an amazing story. : IMITATING THE SPARTANS. Col. Low, in appealing to the mothers, and to the 'effect that they interedt themselves in the success of recruiting, struck a chord that vib- rates in many a home. The moth- ers represent love and sacrifice rath- er than the patriotic ipstinot which is developed usually by educational processes. It was easy to impress the Grecians, in 'the. days of Hom- er, because, as Dr. Hillis puts it, the poet opened up a gall in. the clouds and there unveifed Achilles as the ideal Greek. It became the ambition of every Athenian boy to fixed the Hiad in his mind and repeat Achilles in his life. "Soon the Achil- les in the sky," writes Hillis, "look- ed down upon 20,000 young Achilles walking through the streets - be- neath." And all this comes of the "ideal man who never lived save in a poet's vision. The Canadian mother contributes herself, of her very life, when she gives her boy, and she doed it as 'willingly as any Spartan mother ev- er did. But the national ideals have not been as strong and as powerful, who can teli?--there will rise in this Yory war some one Who has the pow- | stripes and made to er to touch the popular fancy 'and | fill the youth of Canada with a valor- ous spirit. Canada has Indeed begun to weave into magical stories the glories of the battlefield, and these will be sung to the men 'of the future, if mot of the present, in a way that must arouse their martial spirit and en- thusigsm. It is war, and the traged- ies of war, that make heroes of our race, and never again may there be an opportunity for earning this dis- tinction. * -------- Murder suspects in New York com- plain to the judges that they are beaten by detectives with many confess the crimes of which they are not guilty. The third degree is being apparently carried to excess. THE CALL TO ARMS. |. Recruiting in the city, and in con- nection with the several units, is slow at present. There are several rea- sons for this. Those who have been most easily impressed, who have been the first to answer to the call, who realized the duty of the hour, have already entered the service of the king. Some are at the front, on the daily vigils or tasks without complaint. Some have fallen and occupy the graves that will never be forgotten. They will live in history, in the mem- ory of friends, and in the affections of their fellow men. Some, disabled, have returned to their homes to en- joy, we hope, their pensions and well- earned rest. Some are in training, and filling what Mr, Bennett, M.P,, "| refers to as the second and third lines in Britain and Canada. The wastage from all these ser- vices is very great, and must be made good by the constant recruiting from the eligible men, The last appeal has been made on behalf of the 146th Regiment, and properly so. Elo- quent speeches appear to move the masses for the moment, but they do not carry conviction to the heart. The young men who are wanted either do not attend the recruiting meetings, or if they do, remain im- passive under the spell of any ad- dress. They are impervious to the touch, however mighty, of any speak- er. They are not subject to his rea- son or his argument. These are the men who would fifst fall under the provisions of a national service law, and Mr. Bennett gives them the as- surance that, so far as he can see, it will not be passed in Canada. All will depend upon the length of the struggle. Britain was opposed to the use of legal pressure so far as its army movements were concerned. But it saw the necessity of a change in plans in the face of dangers that were keen to her and are keen en- ough now, though not apparent to a good many in Canada. Let the war ga on for another eighteen months, and conscription will be in force. It needs not the spirit of the prophet to see this. Only 300,000 men have so far been secured out of the 500,000 that have been promised. The pre- mier, when asked if he had been in- spired to increase the limit of Can- ada's contribution, replied in the negative. It was his conception, and his government's conception, of the inevitable, and in his new year's mes- sage to the people he gave expresssion to it. : ] A mighty appeal has been made to move the eligibles into action from a sensé of duty. Love of country, of friends, of association, of home, jus- tice, liberty and humanity, have all been urged upon some in vain. Why? They have not interpreted the needs of the empire, They will-only be- come the servants of the State in or- der to save it when they cannot help Siimnevey: EDITORIAL NOTES. The enlistments in Canada now number about 300,000. This is the latest, and from Ottawa. The Hamilton school board, like the Toronto city council, purposes to force its eligible male employees to enlist. Still some people do not ap- pear to approve of conscription. Bonar Law is now reported to be re tiring from the British government on account of its war policy. The premier will not consent to a calling out of the married men for national service while single men are avail- able. . Isn't he right? * A bill is now before the federal par- liament which provides for a four per cent. interest on BEnk Meposits. Can a law to. this effect be enforced? The interest on currfént accounts should be higher, but has liament the power to regulate it? When a mémber of the British Gov- ernment disapproves of anything, or cannot induce his colleagues to see eye to eye with him, he resigns. . Mr. Monk is the only one in Canada, in recent years, who has retired from the government. He is the only one in the Borden combination who put principle above policy.

Woman's sphere is a cosy compart- ment in the back part of the house, containing a kitchen cabinet, a malle- able-top range and room for deep thought. Some of our greatest thinkers have been women who learn- ed to think on both feet while en- gaged in trying household tasks, such as toying with the elusive safety pin, designing a cream pie and farrying in coal from the barn. It is a peculiar fact that woman never had a sphere until man came along and pointed it out to her. For thousands of years womdn went: her way without knowing a sphere from Adam's off ox, and was perfectly con- tent to wait on man, prepare his meals and sew on his buttons with a brass thimble. In St. Paul's time women were not even allowed to speak up in prayer-meeting and ex- press their opinion of the new minis- ter's wife. In short, woman was classified as a part of the household furniture, and. was not allowed to contract debts or anything else, ex- cept nervous prostration from over- work. In an early day in the history of the world man showed woman that her sphere is in the home, and he succeeded in keeping her in that lo- cality for a long time. The worst jolt man ever got was when woman decided to support herself, leave him in an unkempt and buttonless condi- tion, and grab the ballot. This is! due to the pernicious habit of allow-| ing woman to read the daily news-| papers when she ought to be figuring | out a new pattern of cornstarch pud-| ding. It was never intended that] woman should know anything that] woilld make her dissatisfied with her| lot, and yet short-sighted husbands| continue to bring home the uplift magazines and permit their wives to] read them, instead of demanding a} higher grade of pancakes and teach- ing idle spouses how to run the fur- nace. | Man is entirely to blame for this] lawless procedure on the part of wo- | man. The average husband is too] mealy-mouthed and soft-headed. If} the leaders in the suffrage movement had possessed husbands with au im- perious will,, man would not now stand in danger of being outveted, and the death rattle of the mulct sa- loon would not be heard with such depressing frequency. What we need is more husbands wearing a deter- mined mien and brass knuckles. Woman's sphere used to be a joke, but it is now a sad, stern re- ality Rhymes THE POOR events, each eve, fest. in our presence the spiels, to furnish the bulk of the why we old fellows arose, last night, at the grocery . store, and lifted that chump with our toes, and hoist- SATO ed him clear through the door.
