"I believe this province has the ab- solute legislative right to control all matters of education within the province under the terms of the con- stitution. I believe it is a matter in which the Federal Government should not interfere in any shape or form. This province must retain control of its own affairs, and the minority in this province, as well as the minority in other provinces, must depend upon the good judgment and fair play of the majority to secure for them what they think they ought to secure. Sir Oliver Mowat, when Prime Minister of Ontario, refused to take part in an agitation arising in this province for the disallowance of an Act passed by the Legislature of the Province of Quebec. I take that same view to-day, that it is for this House to deal with this matter, and not for the Federal Parliament." Mr. Rowell, in the Legislature at the session of 1916. ------ A PANIC AT OTTAWA. At the North Perth Conservative Convention Mr. Morphy, M.P., said that the defeat of the Conservative candidate, J. A. Makins, "would cut off the right arm from Sir Robert Borden and let him bleed to death, for they would say in Quebec that Conservatism was on the wane." The by-election in North Perth is a local ome. 'The issues before the people, according to Hon, Mr. Lucas, are provincial. The Government is not charged with grafting. The temperance question has been settled. There is no disturbing question be- fore the people. So said the - At- torney-General. And in order to make a little excitement he proceed- ed to stir up the passions of the people on bilingualism, Mr. Morphy followed with his piti- ful 'wail with regard to Sir Robert, and said the Premier would be wing- ed and disabled if the local election happened to go Liberal. The con- nection between the Federal Govern- ment and the North Perth election is not at all clear, but the paniky con- dition of the convention showed how desperate the party is, and how eag- er for a little ray of sunshine. This sunshine has been denied in all the provincial elections that have recently taken place. If New Bruns- ~ wick and British Columbia go against the party, as they are expected to do, it will be in order for Sir Robert Borden to accept the results as votes of want of confidence and resign. ARMENIANS COMING BACK The Armenians are coming to their own. Those who have survived the violent persecutions of the Turks are being conveyed back to their land in Asia Minor, only to find it devas- taced. Their homes have been des- {royed. Their families have been separated. Many of them have been murdered. : For over thirty years these mas- sacres of the Armenians by the Mo- hammedans have continued unabat- "ed. The cause is a religious one, the Armenians being the first race in Asia Minor to adopt Christianity and to remain true to it throughout the years despite the persecutions to which they have been subject. A recent report said that 2,000,000 of them had been slaughtered. This estimate Is' high and probably erron- oous, since some years ago it was said that the total number in Asia Minor only 2,000,000. has re- 'J of the people at an end. 00} the leak until a home trader comes 0 | merchant as they pass, "Funny we 139 never thought of that before." There ved £52,000 for. the maintenance of the Armenian refugees in Russia. The Russian government and the Armenian people have' already sub- scribed munificently towards the more hopeful cause of repatriation." Nor is the kindness and sympathy It goes on and so does the murderous policy of Enver Pasha, the German officer in command of the Turkish army. There is some justification for the slaughtering in war, but there is no defence of the cold-blooded murder of the Armenians, young and old, and by the hundred thousand. STOPPING THE LEAK The story is told that in the long distant past a youth stopped a seri- ous flooding of valuable land in Hol- land by putting his hand into or over a leak in the dyke and holding it there until relief came from an- other source. Leaks develop unless they are checked, and the Whig's cartoonist ably describes this idea in his picture for this day's issue, The community's money is escap- ing from the town's tank, and farm- er and merchant, who are equally interested in the matter, fail to re- alize what should be dome to stop along and puts in a plug called "Mu- tual Patronage." When he does this simple act the farmers observe to the is nothing surprising in the discovery that if one sends his money away, for goods and merchandise he can purchase at home, he is causing a leak in the community's tank and it will grow if he does not look out. The Whig has preached home in- terests and home trading for near- ly a year, and has a right to ask With what success? Have the people been impressed? The evi- dence of it would be an organized effort to promote community build- ing on the co-operative plan, Has there been a drawing together of the people and with the object of | advancing their local interests? Community building does not de- pend upon an individual effort. The masses must be moved. One man may set a good example--like the man in the cartoon who stops the leak in the community tank--but one man, or a dozen men, cannot cure the defects of a eity. All should get busy, and dominated by one over- | mastering thought of making King- | ston grow. i te | THERE ARE ROCKS AHEAD. | The Conservative papers, at fous 'Some of them, very frankly admit | that they have been disappointed | with the Nova Scotia elections.

BRITISH EDITORIAL NOTES, The drive of the Allies is on, eh? There is some proof of it in the long casualty lists which are being pub- lished from day to day. The defeat of tlie Huns appears to be at hand. How can recruiting in Quebec be a success when the Ottawa Gover ment'honored and elevated those who were offensive towards Britain in the campaign of 1911, including.the fel- low who wanted to shoot holes in the British flag? a---- The Russians are not taking pri- soners. What is the inference? That life is being expunged on a whole- sale plan. A shocking idea, one for which the world is somewhat pre- pared through the frightfulness which the Germans have practised. Frontenac's generosity is appre- ciated in connection with the Patrio- tic Fund. The monthly expenditure in connection with county cases fis now $1,800, and it is rising. The proposed appropriation of $2,000 per month until the December session is quite justified. Will Parliament take any notice of the Bar Association's arraignment of the divorce proceedings in Canada? Divorce under present circumstances is a luxury of the rich. No poor man or woman can stand the expense of a Senate enquiry. Few divorces in Canada? There is a reason for it, and it is not far to see. --------n Sir Robert Borden is represented as being in avery despondent mood, as the result of recent elections. Nova Scotia's exhibit was a sad dis- appointment. A defeat in North Perth would be tantamount, says a parliamentary supporter, to the loss of his right arm. He must be in a desperate mood. ------------------ Is any one in Canada authorized to collect on behalf of the blinded and crippled soldiers? No, and any one who is detected in the work can be regarded as an imposter. This is the | essence of a declaration by the Sec- retary of the Military Hospital Asso- ciation, and it comes quite oppor- tunely in order to stop some doubtful work that is now going on. | PUBLIC OPINION | If He Only Would.

In addition there is a great deal in federal politics that is discouraging and disconcerting, and the staff correspondent of the London World does not disguise the fact that the great want of the day is cabinet reconstruction at Ottawa. Sir Sam Hughes must go. That is the feel- ing. A stronger man than the prem- fer would not hesitate in relieving him of office. But he poses as the great dictator, and he puts his im- portance at a high estimate, when, discussing the rumor of his removal, he stated not so long ago that he would go when he liked, and not a minute sooner. Or words to that ef- fect. Note this expressive sentence from the World: "Discontent with the Borden government is growing, and unless Sir Robert Borden takes a firmer hold of things, goes in for substantial reorganization of his ca- 'binet, frees himselr from Nationalist entanglements, he will not be able to save either his government or the Conservative party." And again: "The war is not over and we must reform our recruiting. The failure of Quebed to do her part may have to be endured for a time. But it should aeither be unrebuked nor un- recognized. A country or a party that is afraid to tell a prime minis- that he must change his ways, is not worth saving in a world cataclysm like the present."
