The world lat | flying, it was : | thought, was still distant future. Yet to-day the aeroplane come a recognized { elvilization, and the whirr of the pro- | peller as it pgsses over city or farm As is pier o : art of rsally the gl has be- part of modern jest. In war the tea | chine has proved its ut | at the present moment expert autho- | rities are at odds over the abliity of | the battleship to avoid its deadly at- | tacks. 3 But now that the thunders of war Sar tie seins 243 | Europe, the aeroplane and the diri- | | Bible are rapidly coming into use as | carriers of freight. It is announced {that during 1920 goods to the value of £1,000,000 were brought into or i exported from the British Isles by the | air service. The articles © clothing, furs, watches, paintings, | moving picture films, wireless appar- | |atus and other light commodities. A | truly remarkable record this, a re- | * | cord which promises great things for | the future. The age of commercial air transportation is no longer a thing to | which we must look forward, for it is | { already here. | -- | HUMAN LIFE SACRED: | | A suggestion said to have met fa- | vbr with certain members of the Con- { necticut legislature that | €ncounter intense opposition in many | quarters. Persons have been taught {to regard human life as sacred, un- | less forfeited by specific acts against Civilized folk found the idea repugnant that the : : | society. f prevention of suffering justifies tak- | ing the sufferer's life. It would be a difficult matter to | prescribe exact limits to the killing | of innocent people, gnce the practice | was started. Would death be extend- {ed to those of sound mind, afflicted | { with some painful and {ncurable mal- |ady? Would it be dealt to maimed or | deformed persons to whom life offers | only a prolonged term of insufficien- | jey? Who, men will ask, shall play the | judges? Few physicians would take | upon themselves the responsibility of declaring that a sufferer should nal be established competent to sit in this matter and sign death war- rants? The medical profession has long accepted the rule that the physician devote his efforts to preserving and prolonging life. He should, of course, alleviate pain where possible, but he must not prevent suffering by has- tening death. To depart from this rule would open many new and dan- gerous problems. It would make pos- sible grave abuses. It seems unlikely that the world. is yet ready to take this step or to discard the age old principle of the sacredness of human life. -------- HUMANITY ON THE MARCH. General Smuts, premier of South | Africa, and a statesman who took a very prominent part in the formation of the League of Nations, gave utter- ance to a phrase that will endure for long when he declared: "Humanity has struck 'her tents and is on the march." It was but another way of giving . expression to the thought held by Tennyson when he penned those immortal lines: "For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see, Saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be; Saw the heavens filled with com- merce, argosies of magic sails, Pilots of the purple twilight, drop- ping down with costly bales; Heard the heavens filled with shout- ng, and there rain'd a ghastly ew From the nations' airy navies grap- Pling in the central blue; Far along the world-wide whisper of the south wind rushing warm, ith the standards of the peoples plunging thro' the thunder- storm; bs the war-drum onger, and the bat furl throbbed no tle-flags were In the Parliament of men, the Fed- eration of the world. There the common sense of most shall hold a fretfu) realm in awe, And the kindly earth shall slumber, lapt in universal law." This same idea of universal bro- therhood, of humanity Pressing on to its foreordained goal, was eloquently Set forth in an address delivered in the house of commons on Feb, 18th, by Hon. N, W. Rowell, one of Can- ada's delegates to the peace confer- ence. His words are well worthy of quotation and remembrance. He said: "You ask, Will the League suc- teed? Its form may change, but the Ideals for which it stands will pre- because they meet a great hu- man need. It has been said truly: 'Humanity has struck her tents and is on the mareh.' She is leaving the low plains, strewn with the bodies of her dead, where the sounds of her drums are almos* drowned by the cries of the woundeq and the dy- ing. She is on the march to the high uplands, which promise a new order and a better day. The way msy be long and difficult; 'thers are many obstacles to be overcome and heights to be scaled; the journey may «cost The | to the | g inter- | n air ma- | /, botlr as a | | scout and for offensive purposes, and | iandled were | hopelessly | insane persons be put to death will | have ever | be put to death. How could a tribu- | | much in tears, in blood and in tr - |8ure--but the bugle will never sou the retreat. Humanity is on the marca {and will not pitch her tents 'ti {heights are scaled and the are reached. Canada, breathing the free and invigorating air of the | world, untrammelled by e r prejudices or the traditions of old, is in the very forefront of 1 j advance. If our faith and our age fail us not we will keep our pl { until the goal is reached." 1ple | ! ! } 9 | +f « BITS OF BY-PLAY i By LUKE McLUKE Copyright, 1920, by The Cincinnati Enquirer.
