A public man was understood to ' say, some days ago, that the people - were students of affairs, that their judgment was sound, and that they could be depended upon to purify public life when they took the work in hand. +The laymen in the Toronto Meth- odist conference appear to have me- ditated upon the things they heard, affecting the public life and service of some men, and have been anxious to put themselves upon record. They did not refer to any person or inci- dent, particularly, but expressed sur- prise that the wrong-doing of the day . had been "publicly tolerated as a part of our national life." These laymen went er and said that at a time when oman for higher plans of living and sacrifi- cial devotion" were so much in order, when "any plundering of the public resources, or crippling of public effi- ciency, seemed to be reasonable," a hea hing of the chureh was * most desirable, Indeed, they ques- tioned whether the war was not a chastisement of the nations for their defections, and necessitating "a day of humiliation and prayer and a spir- jtual regeneration." The church is on trial. This may not be generally admitted, but it is a fact nevertheless. 'The assumption ig that the moral sense of the people has been dulled or blunted by the pradtices of the day, that there is not the reaction that was formerly felt when wrong-doing of any kind is ted. The church may be to for this. Its distinct duty is great and fundamental prin- iples which cannot be ignored or olated with impunity. Has the church discharged its duty fairly, ' honestly and heroically? -------------- Roosevelt says the Germans have . been dictating as to the man they "want as president. They won't dic- tate very much to Mr. Hughes if he happens to be the republican candi- date. He is a man of few words, but of tremendous will power. THE IRISH SITUATION. The Sinn Fein rebellion, which the Sinn Feiners did not anticipate or de- "@ire as a part of the original pro- gramme, has suddenly, unexpectedly, _and fortunately led to a better under- standing with regard to Irish govern- ment. The Sinn Fein movement is essen- tially ethical and intellectual. It represented nebulous and exalted ideas that ordinarily were practically impossible. This movement was seized upon by many who were aroused in the labor revolt of 1913, They expressed the sad discontent which prevailed over social condi- ctive and deficient, -onge it seemed neces- in this form of self-gov- thé Imperial govern- its | as Ireland is will be the result of the Sinn Fein revolt, with aims and purposes which were entirely different from those which were Tntended. ~ --tp _ The joke is on the Presbyterian | statisticians who differ as to how the vote stood on church union.

Britain learning lessons from Ger- many? Impossible, says one. No, not impossible, buf very possible. Germany, while in the throes of a "| great conftict, while exhibiting sur- prising virility and resorting to des- perate expedients in order to make advances in the war, is mindful of what may happen later on, : The German government has or- ganized in Berlin a business depart- ment and hag appointed as its head Dr. Helfferick, the present finance minister. He is not the product of the political life of Germany. He is not a politician, but a financier, and is given this new position be- cause, as a banker, he is familiar with the world's financial éonditions. Germany had before the outbreak of the war an export trade which was valued at £504,000,000. If is gone for the present, and the nations of two continents have been conspiring, as it were, and as Germany believes, to rob her of it. The plan'is to eir- cumvent the allies and the neutrals, all enemies for the time being, and the new German business department is eagerly at work. "The German business department will enter the arena for battle," says the London Mail, "unless the allies act betimes with a weapon they do not at present possess, an intri- cately perfected system of tariffs for bargaining any punitive purposes." The Mail says that Great Britain will heartily welcome a business man at the head of a department especial- ly charged with a task of smashing German trade. "Germany is mobi- lizing for the war after the war," adds the Mail, "and her commander- in-chief is about to take the field. What are we doing?" There is the evidence in a few lines of Britain's disposition to copy Germany in its business methods and enterprises. Mr. Kelly, of Winnipeg, accused of crookedness, will not have any one to defend him whéh he comes up for trial on Monday next. He will be just as well off. He can depend upon a jury of his peers to give a proper verdict. y GET CLOSER TOGETHER. The New York and Chicago papers are filled these days with the story of political life as it throbs at the great Republican convention. There has not been the unanimity of party opinion which is so tial to suc- cess. The leaders of three great sections, recognized as the Hughes, the Roosevelt and the" Root follow- ings, were quite confident at the be- gining of the week that they would win out. Each was sure of this. A day or two later the air of satisfac- tion or complacency was gone. On Thursday night there was a manifest feeling of despondency. It was then and afterwards that the wiser men saw the folly and sepa- aration sounded the note that is al- ways attractive when inharmony has run its length, "Let's get closer to- Apter. Sometimes men think ey can succeed by fighting each other. They are supposed to have ideas, plans, hopes and aspirations, in common. They cannot accom- plish anything, and jostle each other in an unfriendly spirit. This har- mony--the idea of doing great things on an individual plan and in an iso- lated way---has to cease, and the men who not only suggest it but bring it to pass are the benefactors of their class. The Community Builders repre- sent those who are wearied of fry- ing to perform feats without the good understanding which should prevail among friends. The money king has been their "friend," and he has worked them to his own advantage. He is credited with doing them good, but he has grossly deceived them by keeping them apart. Let the farm- men who are depending upon each other get together and discuss their mutual interests, When they do the days of disloyalty to local interests will pass never to return. The Whig's artist has made a "speaking" cartoon for this day's is- sue. It illustrates a good point, the eed of co-operation. This is necessary in everything.: Had it been exhibit to the military camp the news of a smaller mobilization and a reduced circulation of good money would not have been the doleful announcement of the day. | The Ontirlo Government fs inak- er, the merchant, the citizen, the|' ed in greater proportions with regard] ing money out of its auto tags. Over 38,000 of them have so far been is- sued, and the season is young yet. ig ------ Why have so many of Sir Robert Borden's colleagues been anxious to get out of his government? Have they been anticipating something in the next election? 1 : A -------- Some of these days Constantine will slip off the throne and Greece off the map of Europe. THe Allies have practically assumed the reins of gov- ernment, and Venezelos must have already come back. . The Whig's advice to the business men of Kingston, to co-operate in or- der that the military camp might be made a success, was not very enthu- siastically acted upon. The Whig has nothing to add to-day. It is useless to comment upon what might have been.

To reduce your] weight go to a good druggist and get | oil of orilene in capsule form, and take one after each meal. It is sold only in original sealed packages. Oil of oril-| lene taken at meal-times gives you alll the benefit of the food you eat, and at) the same time dissolves the fatty tis- sue from any part of the body where | there is excessive fat.
