Schwab. In view of what has been sald in regard to Kingston's milk. supply, will the Board of Health publish the dates and results of the milk tests made by the milk inspector at the Dairy School? . Now that the war has come lo an end, perhaps we shall see a re- vival of the Kingston Gun Club. There are many soldiers who would like to join in order to Keep In practice. i There should be no delay when the housing question comes up be- fore the council next Monday. Our aldermen have been active in the hunt for information during the past week. i rn Some 10,000 tons of Canadian bacon have just been purchased by the British Government. Doubt- less the packers will use this fast , as an excusd to keep up the home prices. Quebec has decided to impose an ' amusement tax of one cent per seat per day, which will total quite a large amount. for entertainment houses to pay each year. Ontario gets off -very lightly in comparison. The reasons that the farmers op- posed daylight saving seems to be that the farm help have an ineradi- cable tendency to get up in the morning by sun time and quit work by daylight saving time. The Sinn Feiners will find that President Wilson is not a man to be moved hy threats, and that they cannot expect much consideration from the Peace, Conference after the way they acted during the war. . The League of Nations is' looked upon as the world's only hope of lasting peace. Should it fall, the nations of Europe will simply be gin preparations for a renowal of the conflict at some future date. Potty jealousy, that and nothing mre, is behind Sam Hughes" ai- tack on the Canadian generals at the front. When these gallant of-|, ficers come homo, as they shortly], will, Canada's quondam minister of militia is going to have a hot time of it.

The - Broekville endeavors to stir up a strong feel ing of resentment 3 the action o the Imperial authorities ln refus- ing to allow the bereaved widows and parents of Canadian time. The difficulties in are real ones, for the shipping pro- blem and the food situation are still acute over in Europe, and un- til these are cleared up, and the peace terms aro finally signed, it is wise of the government to restrict as much as possible travel overseaé except in cases of absolute neces- sity. From start to finish the Record- er's editorial appeals to sentimen- tality of the weakest kind, and shows little knowledge of the needs of the present situation. It would be foolish, nay, almost cri- minal, to allow flocks of ' parents and widows to go overseas at this time, when ships are ngeded so ur- and to transport foodstuffs to the hungry" nations of Europe. on, when the rush and bustle o war have subsided, there will be every opportunity for trips to BEu- rope, but the government is quite justified in restricting travel, pecially for sentimental. reasons, until the troops are all home, and trans-Atlantic shipping has resum- ed its normal course. Until then, all widows and parents of 1 who died at the front are better to stay in Canada where food, at least, is plentiful, and indeed the major- ity of them will douljtless have no desire to do otherwise. 08- A NEW ORDER IN THE WORLD.

In coming to the queston of free education for all Canadian children at the collegiate institutes, it is real- ized that this is a drastic demand ty make, and ong which calls for a certain amount of courage. But as ¢he Whig has ever been in the fore- {front in all progressive movements, | there is no hesitation in stating the {case in favour of making the col- i tegiate institute free to all children | who wish to attend. In the first iplace, the collegiate institute is of | sremendons importance In the educa- ition of .the future citizge of Canada. {fn the high school the education gained at the public school is used {ment of the pupil's mind along chan- pels which will make him or her a |more' 'wseful citizen, and better {equipped to go out into the world {than the scholar whose education {stops with the public school In the {past and at present the high school leducation of the children has been entirely, a question of the financial circumstances of the parepts.

But it can be done, and for the sake of 'giving every child, irrespective of Glass or wealth, an equal chance of fiaving all the education desired, it should be done.

Mr! Bessenger is a talented artist and his | efforts were thoroughly appreciated by the audience 'who brought him back repeatedly.

He was encor- ed and gave "Rook-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody." i! } The late Hareld Lockwood in "Pals First' was,a feature whieh pleased the audience.
