"When the war comes to an end, when the reign of peace is re-estab- lished, we shall have to take stock, as an Empire, of our internal rela- tions. Never in history has there been a more moving spectacle than the eager loyalty and the unsparing profusion with which our Dominions have lavished their help on the Mother Country in a war which they felt to be waged in a just and a rightous cause, but in the making of which they had no voice."--Mr. As- quith at Ladybank. Rest on Sunday, which is so large- ly needed, is not to be confounded with diversion, which is another form: of Sabbath breaking. Some people are not able to see the differ- ence. SUFFERING FROM THE HEAT. The church is not a welcome place when the thermometer registers the heat at eighty and ninety degrees. It is true that there -are warmer places, and they are sometimes the very retreats that people seek. The church that is closed up during the week, in a sense hermetically sealed, 80 far as the auditorium is concern- ed, and not filled with the hot cur- rents from the outside, should be tol- erably pleasant. But on a sultry day it becomes very uncomfortable. The churches might be made more attractive, and one wonders what the result in attendance would be, if moveable fans were introduced and cooling rooms were provided similar to those which certain business houses in the larger cities have pro- vided for.the comfort of their pat- rons. Considerable consolation is being extracted from the sermons of a city pastor who has not hesitated to say that acceptable worship can be offer- ed in the solitudes of nature, amid the foliage and flowers and carols of the birds. The average absentee from church service, and a sufferer from the' heat, is not in a very worshipful mood. The nickel issue was not a promin- ent one in the late by-election in Ontario. So says the government. ! Yet it is remarkable how eager the Minister of Mines is to show that his department is hurrying on the re- 9 tor the Canadian army. Sir Rider does not want to be re- garded as a pessimist when he talks in this way. He wants, on the con- trary, to be regarded as the correct interpreter of passing events, and a prophet of the times. Infantile paralysis flourished where there is dirt. One ntore rea- son why the sanitary system of every city should be as efficient as poss- ible. Kingston is much cleaner than it was, but it can be made cleaner still. . WHAT IS THE OUTLOOK. The Whig regards the outcome of the recruiting meeting which was held in the City Hall on Friday as miore suggestive than anything of the kind that hae yet been held. The movers of a resolution had some ex- perience in recruiting. They realiz- ed the terrible handicap from which they have been suffering. They understood the necessity for perfect organization, and on a plan that should touch every part of the mili- tary district and stir it to.its centre. But more than organization is re- [the infantile paralysis virus hus nev: er been found in the blood." ---------- EDITORIAL NOTES. Andrew Brower, M.P.P., was about to be appointed sheriff of East Elgin when the Nqrth Perth election o¢- curred. "Now some one else will get the appointment or Andrew will have to wait and work for it. Will Lloyd-George, as Minister of War, now start gut on a tour of Bri- tain, holding reviews at all military camps and arrogating to himself the power and authority of a field-mar- shall? Watch and see. Scotland has not replied to the de mands of the women for prohibition, but the official and real estate classes have spoken.

The finest machine that human intellect and enterprise can build up will be of no avail .in pro ducing the brawn which is wanted The men who have led in this movement, who are, as it were, cogs in its great iH wheels, nust be dominated by one 1.88 purpose, and that is to rouse the young men and make them see their duty. One gets an idea of the spirit that animates the Australiars that have recently moved from Gallipoli Peninsula to France. They stopped at a station en route from Marseilles. They were cheered and feted and fed Then 'they asked about the Can- adians. What were they doing? The answer came, "They have covered themselves with glory." "Ah," thoy exclaimed, in a tone which seemed to imply, "Very likely." But just you wait till our fellows get to work." It occurred to a witness that per- haps the friendly rivalry which ob- tains between the English and Scotch reginvents, between Belgians and Frenchmen, is not known among the people beyond the seas. At any rate, it is this fervour of spirit that is wanted in Canada. [et young men see what their duty is, what the young men of other do- minions are doing, and what the ef- fect is on the life of the nation, and the strain of recruiting will be somewhat lighter. There is nothing for it but voluntary enlistment for the time being, and apparently it is on its last trial. The London Free Press insists that prohibition was the issue in the North Perth election. This act did not offend the people and keep them at home on polling day. Prohibition did not make the Tories sulk and re- fuse to vote. Everybody does not know what: was the matter with them. Does the Free Press? INFANTILE PARALYSIS. Attention has been centred upon infantile paralysis, from which over 1,500 persons have suffered in New York, from which over 300 have died. About 100,000 children are reported to have been sent out of the city in order to escape the disease. This was before the city was quaran- tined. Further removals have been made impossible. The mystery of infantile paralysis has been cleared up. It is, accord- ing to the discovery of Dr. Flexner, of the Academy of Medicine, "an. in- fectious and communicable disease which is caused by the invasion of the central nervous organs, the spinal cord and brain, by a minute, filter- able, micro-organism which has now | been secured in artificial culture, and as such is distinctly visible under the higher powers of the microscope." Notwithstanding the minute size of the organism which causes the dis- 'ease, Dr. Flexner laid special stress on the fact that it was alive just as fining of all the ore produced in On- tario. What the province wants is not a new line of talk, but a new line | just as any human being. |of the disease, he said, exists con- of action, + bes A SOMEWHAT GLOOMY OUTLOOK.

City life is not conducive, it appears, to that athletic physical prowess that is necessary for mili- tary service. The latest is that the amount paid in commission for the purchase of Camp Borden is far greater than the price of the land. It was. bought for $3.00 and sold for $12.00 per acre.

CONSERVATIVE PRESS. Sizing Up the Situation. Toronto Telegram 5 The London Free Press campaign of misrepresentation on behalf of Sir Sam Hughes has so glorified the Borden Government that if the City of London were open to-morrow an anti-Militia Department candidate could defeat William Grey, M.P., or any other standard-bearer of the Government by a 2,000 majority. The London Free Press pretends that the critics of Sir Sam Hughes, K.C.B., are the enemies of Sir Robert Borden. The weakness of Sir Robert Borden is his own Government's worst enemy, and eulogists of Sir Sam HughesVare Sir Wilfrid Laurier's best friends. INDEPENDENT PRESS. Meaning of the Drive. Montreal Star Those who say loftily, but with no authority, that this not the Bri- tish drove, fail to consider the effect on the neutral world and the civilian populations of all the belligerents if our attacks were permitted now to fall because they were never intend- ed to be pushed home. The general belief is that this is the long-prepar- ed drive. Our own publicity deépart-| ments---if we can be regarded as| having such things-----have encourag- ed this view. If it does not succeed, we will never be believed if we say that we did not seek success. Our| leaders would never make the mis- | take of putting us in this position if they did not intend to win out this time. Of course, it is quite true that a failure now does not mean ultimate upper dog and he has his teeth in. A Question.

THE HOKSE, The horse is a natural curiosity which is occasionally seen on the public highway when nobody else but the web-footed gander can get through. This noble animal, which formerly was driven through town with his mane and tail done up in pink curl papers, is now compelled to stand in the barn and watch the automobile whirl by with its load of human freight, burning up gasoline and clyinder oil with reckless aban- don. The crowning cruelty is when a faithful driving horse is traded for a red runabout and then condemned to work fifteen hours a day in a liv- ery barn, The horse is an intelligent ani- mal with kind instincts and the ap- petite of a power churn. As a mat- ter of fact the only drawback to the average horse is his appetite, which is firmly attached to his person and cannot be laid off for a week or two at a time, as in the case of the auto- mobile. If the horse could be taught to go without food when not in use, he would enjoy the respect of a great many people who now take one look at his buoyant appetite and turn away with a heavy heart. advertised for sale is always perfect- ly sound and safe for a lady to drive | up to the eyelids of freight engine. | The smallest edition of the horse] ever 'put out is the Shr~tland pony, | after which comes the Texas bron- cho.
