LIFE'S ETERNAL TRIAL. f In proportion to Mr, will Edison's in- the blow fall] on the | tobacco abolitionists, {vise inventor joins J. M in his adulation of the soothing weed, It takes courage these days to de- fend anything at all, because it has been conclusively proved that life is | fluence § surrounded by perils which certainly | | Will carry us off untimely, and would | | have carried our forefathers off only | they didn't know about them In the matter of tobacco, for example, papers chronicle the passing of some centenarian or other, cut down in his prime as it were by a half cen- tury or more of tobacco smoking. Similarly, most of the foods we have eaten for years can not help killing { Us some time, while, everyone knows and goodness knows what, It is a never failing mystery how the human race does provokingly thrive in the midst of conditions making it logically impossible. It seems that we must be the victims of a delusion; we delude ourselves into believing our food, clothing, tobacco, and, in the case of some, drink, are b'gosh, we are tottering wrecks of 87 or so with one foot in the grave, too late for reform and the damage done, Yet the world is filled with hor- rible examples. Walter Raleigh, who is credited with introducing tobacco | to the white race, smoked a great | deal. He's dead. Hundreds of others | who learned from him, or after him, the pernicious habit are dead too. Yet Thomas Edison defends it, and himself says he expects to live along | time. It is'a puzzling thing to dis | tinguish between false and true pro- | phets; almost as difficult as to dis- al | tinguish between a good and a bad | cigar, There are many persons who | believe that even if they give up to- | bacco the reaper somehow will con- trive to get them. Life certainly is a conundrum. never resort to violence while it can | enjoy the thrill of passing a man's car on a hill. Many a poor dog has been killed as mad because he is frantic for a drink. There is a valuable sugges- tion here for the antis. This would bg a better world if a man worried as much about squaring up with a friend as he does about geting even with an enemy. In the controversy about what language shall be used in the dis- wirmament conference, it is desirable that profane language be barred. And the funny part of it is that the man who is decent because he is afraid of getting caught feels vas'ly superior to the man who takes a chance. A Pennsylvania man got three years in prison for a hold-up. in which he got only gixty cents from - his victim, At twenty cents a year, crime can hardly be said to pay. . RELIGION IN THE SCHOOLS, An Anglican clergyman remarked to the Whig this week that he could see no reason why each preacher in Kingston could not give an hourdbt religious instruction in the schools every day. The clergyman is right. There is no good reason why his sug- gestion should not be carried out in this advanced age. During the war, the men at the front, facing death," worshipped together and heard the Word of God expounded by padres of All denominations. The basis of all Christian religions is the same, and the fundamentals of 'religion could surely be to ordained ministers | SL she teach to the TORK! rich { Walt Mason THE POET PHILOSOPHER HARD ON HIRAM, Low lies the form of Hiram Hora- er, out in his boneyard bower; he swung his car around a'corner at for- ty miles an hour. He might have made the curve at twenty, with safe- ty first in view; for he had time to spare a-plenty; no urgency he knew. Before him stood a mighty hoarding that shut the street from sight; bat madly he went henry-fording, and turned sharp to the right. Around the turn a truck was plugging, a truck of ample power, and into it old Hi went chugging -at forty miles an hour.

If tne manufacturer has got to put up |a fund for the unemployed it will be in his interest to prevent unemploy- ment, when factories get a rush of orders in this country. When the big rush of orders comes they mean nothing to labor. Putting on a night gang is against labor's interests, because when the rush is over men are out of work. ers see to it that labor is employed nine to ten months steadily during the year. The trouble with unem- ployment is that it keeps men out of work three or four months every year and they get into debt..7o keep Canada safe for the working people is to keep the workingman at work a reasonable time each year. We can give reasonable tariff protection to the manufacturer but for answer he has got to prevent unemploy- ment."

Mr. Boyer called for volunteers to carry on the campaign, and Ald. Driscoll reviewed the- progress of twenty-five years. "One thing I have found out," he said, "is that during unemployment our labor or- ganization does not amount to much, We have got to combat such a con- dition by political action."
