Ernest Lapointe, M.P., in one of thé most able spéech- es delivered at that great historie gathering declared that extremes ereate their opposites, and charged Union Government, in its inactivity and incompetence, with responsibi- lity for industrial disturbances and manifestations of Bolshevism in this country. For this condition of affairs Liberalism offers the only cure, for a Ligeral is a Liberal because he loves somebody or something but a Tory Is Fa Tory because he hates, + The tariff gives the people of Ca- nada something of what théy want, what they have lpng demanded, and it was adopted amidst thundrous applause. The west, that was expect- ed to be extreme in its demands and inconsiderate of the manufacturers, professes to be satisfled. The funda- mental principle of Liberalism, "A square deal for all and special privi- leges for none," received the empha- tic endorsation of men from every part of this great Dominion engaged in diversified interests, and is the spirit of the tariff declaration which the party pledged itself to carry ont. The planks of the platform were established before the leader was el- ected. Mr. McKenzie King, a man of high abilities and in the enjoyment of the Tull viger of manhood, has parliamentary experience as Minister of Labor in the late Liberal Govern- ment and is peculidrly fitted to deal effectively with industrial and labor matters. He did not shirk the labor question in his brilliant speech on Thursday, and as leader of the party he is entitled to the fullest confidence in the consideration and solution of # AN See that your name is on the new registration list.

Many of them "have declared that they will never exercise their right to the fran- chise. 'The Liberal Convention at Gttawa means the recommencement of party 'polftics in Canada. From now on there will be feverish activity in get- ting the party machines oiled ana running smoothly in preparation of the next election. Toronta's birth rate decreased 50 ver 1,000 during the past four years' period. ~The Mail ahd Empire does not attribute the cause entirely to the war, which was of course a con- tributory factor, but says that the high cost of living is largely to blame. : A Newark, N.J., thaistrate has re- voked the license of an autoist who damaged another machine in colii- sion when he was driving with one hand while the other arm was around a girl. - The magistrate informed the offender that "You can only do one thing at a time." Sage advice, though the girl probably won't agree with it. + The Great War Veterans' Ass cia- "tion has madd the charge that dur- dng the war "Canddian nickel. came right out of the mines at Sudbury, . '4nd through Germany into us Cana- dians in Flanders." They be 'right, but the government will prob- i ably try to bush up this: matter, as ; hey have done with. ind Others, all matters he will be called upon to deal with. From: one end of (Canada io the other the high cost of living presses sorély upon the people. The!

'It fell to the lot of Queen's Uni- versity to take the lead in extendwg every possible facility to the dis- tharged soldier to obtain a university education in ogder to make up for the years lost in service overseas. The summer session, which, by the way, is being carried on at a loss of ap- nroximately fifteen thousand dollars, was a splendid scheme evolved by Prineipal Taylor, who urged the gov- ernment to take-steps to help the universities in this work. Now the other universities have taken up the appeal, and a special committee was appointed to prepare a memorandum to be submitted to Sir Robert Borden asking for financial assistance from the kovernment in the education of discharged soldiers. The memorandum is a document which sets. forth very clearly th. claims of the large majority of the soldiers affected. It shows how the welfare of Canada depends upon the professions adopted by the men who returned from overseas, d how Canada's army was made up to & very large extent of men who were embarked upon a umiversity NG FOR or who had such a career in view > whey the caf to arms came: to their educational courses and to prepare for their future careers. The suggestion is made that such! ., action would not fn any sense be] class legislation, and that it would not mean that the government would have to give like assistance to men desirous of going into trade or busi- ness. The point is made that dur- {ing his education a man must spend | THE. DAILY BRITISH WHIG money well spent in making sure of the supply of trained and educated men of the very finest calibre for the upbutlaing of the nation fn the fu- ture. The universities, in making this appeal, are not ng on their own behalf or asking Onancial assis- tance for themselves. The losses incurred through speeial courses and classes for returned soldiers have been cheerfully and willingly borne, but the great need of these returned men has impelled the university leaders to make this appeal because of their deep conviction that the Dominion Government should make it possible for all capable returned soldiers to take advantage of the opportunities afforded them of completing their education. = The memorandum has been forwarded to the premier, and should be given thoughtful and sym- pathetic consideration. , Its appeal is one which affects the whole future of the country, for there never was a time When leaders were more need- ed, and it is mainly in the ranks of the educated men of the country who have been participants in the great war that we have to look for ade. quate leadership. | oc opNON | Worth Noting.

(Belleville Intelligencer) The sporting editor, just prior to his vffcation, summarized his thoughts in rhyme as follows: "Lit- tle bank voll, ere we part, let me hug you to my Weart; all the year I've clung to you, I've been faithful, you've been true.

Dr. Orozier Has a Place In Intellec. taal Aristocracy. Dr. John Beattle Crozier is a unaided. merit to the highest ranks of Britain's intellectual aristocracy. On April 23, his seventieth birthday, he received a letter expressing warm appreciation of his "eminent ser- vices to British scholarship and spec- ulation," and his "unselfish en- deavors for human welfare," signed by Lord Morley, O.M., Lord Bryce, O.M., Mr. Frederic Harrison, Prof. Sir, William Osler, Bt., ILieut.-Col. Sir Francis Younghusband, Mr. St, Leo Strachey, Dr. W. L. Courtney, Mr. H. W. Massingham, Mr. T. P. O'Connor, M.P., Dr. John Clifford, Mr. J. L. Garvin, Mr. J. A. Hobson, Mr. Arthur Sherwell, Mr. James ¥. Muirhead, Mr. G. P. Gooch, and Mr. Bafley Saunders. These are the names of leading public men, writers, physicians, scientists, editors, histor- ians, social workers, and political economists. Few men have had so significant a tribute paid them in their lifetime as this spontaneous testimonial by Dr. Crogier's con- temporaries. Dr. Crozier was born in Galt in 1849, and graduated in medicine from the University 'of Toronto in 1872 as a double medalist. He went to England ia the same year to be- gin his career. His books were pro- duced by immense industry, in the hours spared from the practice of his profession. His monumental work, "Eistory of Intellectual De- velopment on the Lines of Modern Bvolution," begun in 1897 and com- pleted in 1904, won him official re- cognition in the form of a pension from the 'civil list, which enabled kim to devote more time to his lit- erary labors. The titles of his vol- umes--*The Religion of the Future," "Civilization and Progress," "Lord Kandolph Churchill: A Study of Eng- lish Democracy," "My Own Life," "The Wheel of Wealth, " "First Prin- ciples of Investment," and "Sociology as Applied to Practical Politics," show the versatility of his Interests and the rabge of his research. He has recently lost his wife and his only son, the latter killed in the war. "I sit here desolate," he writes a Canadian friend, "except for kind friends who come in relays every afternoon to see me and talk." But he can look back upon a life of dis- tinguished achievement, crowned by the praise of his tellow-workers. Dr. Crozier tells a Canadian cor- respondent that he left Canada be- cause "at that time our re Bie would have nothing but the imprima- tur of London and the English----nq colonial at any price!' Have Cana- dians altogether outlived this re- proach? 'Is it not true to-day that they are reluctant to recognize or encourage native merit until it comes back with the hall-mark of London or New York? The number of Cana- dians of talent who have found it necessary to leaye the country to find a Bela is not flattering to national pride. Stanley BE.
