Pru- bahly this is to make up the decreas- ed demand for prescriptions since . January lst. The United States authorities in- tend to stand nd®nonsense from the "Red" element. The recent round- up of dangerous radicals should be a lesson to others, even in Canada. Bvery fresh whine by the Germans brings concessions from the Allies. It this goes on much longer we shall begin to believe that Germany won the war, notwithstanding the protests of our Yankee friends. The people of Ontario will watch | awith much anxiety the cables regard- ing the condition of Sir Adam Beck. The province cannot afford tou ive | the service of the Hydro-Electric knight at this stage of its history. Although the new Irish proposal is the most generous ever made by a British government, it is almost sure to be condemned by the Sinn Fein- ers, who are not of the opinion that fhalt a loaf is better than no bread at all, . Reports from across the Atlantic state that Great Britain is on the verge of a wave of unprecedented trade, in spite of the adverse ex- change rate. Trust old Johm Bull to Jook after himself when he is proper- ly aroused. Lloyd George sounded a true and lofty note when he said that the only real basis of peace is for all the na- tions of the world to unite to accept the fatherhood of God. "When that dhappens the miflennium will indeed have arrived. This city is to be congratulated upon the council it elected to gulae its affairs during the year 1920. One of its first duties is to appoint an 1n- dustrial commissioner. Qualification for the position is thes only conside- ration that should have weight. During the past four months over goventeen thousand dollars have tak- on up farming and have settled on farms in the west. When they all got to the production stage, surely we will have ) sufficient supply of food- stuffs to bring down bread prices. nt i-------- 2 : Rockefeller and Carnegie give their moneyaway to help colleges and Mbraries.. Henry Ford is giving his money away in the form of bonuses to help his employges to meet the in- ._ereased costs of living. It seems as # he is taking the better way in dis- bursing hs millions, +» The Belleville Chamber of Com- ge, with nearly four hundred members, has got off to a flying start ; 920. It was built up from the 1 of a dead Board of Trade. Kingston had the same opportunity, but it was rejected last summer. Why not try it out now ? farmers of Middlesex are up d to be registrar at a salary of ) a year. There are a lot of 5 in the district who covet tne at that salary. These me occu are open to young men and women. i The mayor of Peterboro was elect- lod by only one. vota over his oppon- | ent. Hot election contests seem to | have been the rule all over Ontario this year, so that Kingston is merely keeping in Mine with other centres in having a house-cleaning in the city council.' The clear statement that the gov- ermmment's forty million dollar fund will not be used to give aid to men who refuse to work will meet with a certain amount of approval, but still it is hardly right that our veterans should have to depnd upon charity to tide them over the winter. One of the mayoralty candidates in Relleville strongly advocated the city manager plan of government. The most progressive cities in the United, States have already adopted this plan, which tends to increase efficiency in municipal government, and to decrease running expenses. It is an idea well worth considering for the future of Kingston. A NEIGHBORLY TRIBUTE. While we read with awe of the vast increase in the value of the produc- tion of our fields and factories--ex- pressed, as we are apt to forget, in dollars that are worth less--Canada, declares the Syracuse Post-Standard, has been doing as well as the United States. "The Canadians," it admits, "paid heavier than we did in war with the dives of their sons, but war did not leave them staggering finan- cially." The value of the field crops of the dominion has tripled in ten years. The value of manufactured goods has tripled. Our external trade has quadrupled. Our mineral trade has doubled. 'Our exports of pulp and paper have increased from $10,000,000 to $71,000,000 in 1918, and are still in- creasing. Canada is, mext to Great Britain and France, the best customer Uncle Sam has; she buys from him twice aus much as all South America. Despite the value of the Canadian market as admitted by this author. ity, our neighbor, by maintaining a high rate of exchange, is doing much to restrict trade between the two countries. GET BUSY, PLEASE! 'What is Kingston going to do for Queen's Medical College in order to retain its clinical teaching here? | While the proposal to transfer the {clinical department to Ottawa has | been held up, Kingston cannot fold | its arms and forget that it has a duty to perform in order fo make it un- necessary to again talk about a divi- sion of the medical school course. The municipality must contribute provide the hospital teaching neces sary to enable Queen's medical school to maintain the high standard it has sot. Ottawa would gladly pay, and pay well, to have the Kingston medl- cal college--once the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of On- tario--moved from the Old Ontario Strand to the banks of the Ottawa river, The capital is blessed = with wealthy men who can be induced to part with thousands more readily than Kingston's well-to-do could be induced to part with hundreds. Hence when it comes to money bidding, look out for the other fellow. Till lately, few dreamed of Ottawa casting envious eyes on our medica: college, but now that the people of the capital are building for them- selves an hospital next in size to the Toronto General, they are not likely to drop the idea of annexing part of Queen's University when there are supporters of the transfer at this end as well as in Parliament Town. So it behooves the new City Council and the Board of Trade to get together at once and determine just how matters stand. The Kingston Gene- ral Hospital must be enlarged ana reorganized, and a start in this direc tion must be made without delay. THE ONTARIO FORESTRY POLICY The forests of Ontario form one of the greatest assets of the province, and much speculation is rife as to what policy will be adopted by the Drury government for the preserva- tion and remewal of these vast time ber tracts. The Canadian Forestry Association, a national undon of over ten thousand citizens who are work- ing for the comservation of Canada's forests, has already petitioned the Ontario premder and has put forward a suggestion as to the policy which should be followed. In'a memorial addressed to the leader of the new government, it is pointed out that while the forests are being steadily depleted to supply industry and also by fire, there is no organized effort to make the forests reproduce tree crops in perpetuity. The policy which is recommended to the government is one which will ensure that the forests of Ontario will not disappear in a few years time, but will be almost as quickly as they are cut Iti suggested that the Administrative of Ontario's lumber, should be trans ferred to the ncial Forestry Brauch. This would ssi appointment of a Forestry A well to the scheme that promises to |. control of the entire Crown Forest | area, which includes practically all the | = | the Minister of Lands and Forests, | | bis deputy minster, the provincial | { forester, with one representative of | | the Ontario jumbermen and one of | the Ontario pulp and paper In-| | terests, That would guarantee | that the interests of all parties would | | be safeguarded, and at the same time | | form' an organization which would | {have the responsibility for the re-| | forestration of the province. On| | such a basis, the forests of Ontario | might become, in truth, inexhausti- | ble, in spite of the heavy demands being made upon them. The re-organization of the Provin- | cial Forestry department, with an adequate and qualified staff, is the key to the reforestration project on the denuded non-agricultural lands of the counties of Ontario. It should be one of the first duties of the new government to tackle this problem and tackle it wisely and well. ¥ PUBLIC OPINION Man-Made. (Boston Transcript) God made the country, but man made the billboards that disfigure it. Britain Never Forgets. (Cleveland Plain Dealer) Great Britain -has no intention of forgetting the crimes of the ex-Kali- | 'ser. Forgetting is not a British habit. | Now that the Hohenzollern is depos- ed and exiled, the easiest way would be to permit him to continue his un- happy existence as a more or less un- welcome sofourner in the Dutch kingdom, But England is not looking for the eastest way. She has promis- | ed that the Kaiser will be tried, and | she desires neither to retract nor to | evade the promise. | ---- | What is Education? | (New York Times) | The truth is that "education" is| finally and maturely picked up in| the fields and streets, among men | and women and realities, much more effectively and really than ih the for- mal courses of schools and universi- ties. However and wherever hit or missed, "education" is multiform | and protean, hard to grasp or define. | One of the best concrete illustrations | of it was made by Lord Morley. He | said, in effeet that "an educated man knows when a thing has been proved | and when it hasn't." i Are There Two Sides to the Rain. | bows? No, there is only one side to the rainbow.

Coming into tae port of Montreal harbor a great golden angel standing Bonsecours church. 1t is an outstand- ing mark of the harbor, visible for a long distance and ome of the finest tower figures in a province where | there are many. "The Qld wbonsecours church, al- though vigited by far fewer strangers each summer than is Notre Dame or St. James Cathedral, is none the less interesting. Three centuries have pas- was erected on the site it occupies. In 1676 it was completed: in 1768 it was | restored and again in 1848 it passed | into the hands of the removators. Great changes were made at those times yet it retains still much of the | charm of the pioneer church. It stands at the corner of Victor and | St, Paul streets, within a stones throw | of the famous old Bonsecours market where the noise and bustle of modern | life is incessant. The church is in the | midst of a network of old streets, nar- | row and unimproved with many | structures standing that date back to Chateau De Rameszay is only a short distance away: there it was that the society of the city at one time centred. On the tower of the church stands the angel with its Nimbus brightly lighted at night guiding the ships as they enter the port like a great star in the heavens. Whenever one visits the ancient church he is sure to find there some worshipper who has paused for a moment in the rush of his down town trading to present his petitions before the altar of his church. Many a sailor | comes there before his ship sails for the wide ocean from Montreal to pray for guidance in the voyage. Rhodes Scholarship Award.
