The United | States tariff system, it is also point- ed out, "allows a paper wage or de- based currency country like Japan or Germany or Czecho-Slovakia to ship its goods into the United States with negligible duty payments, but | enficts the limit from a solvent, dear | labor country like Canada."

The situation is not to be taken lightly. Nor will it remedy itself In the course of time, if as one educator maintaines, we are going in a direction away from it, The obvious' conclusion is that if we cherish ideals that make for de- sirable manhood and womanhood and for & more efficient citizenship, Wwe can not afford to lose sight of the fact that these ideals are best main- tained in the home, Other instigu- tions may help in this process; but they can only help; they cannot sup- plant the home. It may be that tne writing of many books on this sub- ject and the delivering of many lec tures will help us to realize this; and to that end they serve a good purpose. But the real remedy to the waning influence of the home lies in a thorough recognition of what we are losing when home and family lite bécomie less Important with us, and in a resolute determination to pre- vent this at all cost, ----------i. THE UNITED STATES SEES ITS MISSTAKE, The trade kings of the Unitad States are at last waking up to tha fact that\n trying to restric: imports from Canada by the raising of high tariff walls, and In forcing the value of the Canadian dollar away below par, they have dealt their own bus. ness a body blow, and, as was to be expdcted, they are raising a lovg pros test. The New York Harald, in an editorial, deplciés, the fact that the United States' exports to Canada are declining far more rapidly than are the exports of Canada to the United States. So long as United States business houses could dispose of their goods in Canada, and could, at the same time, cut off Canadian ex- ports into their own country, every- thing was lovely, and there was no protest. But now. the boot is on the other foot, and there is a different story to tell. Actual trade figures show that for v fat of their own making, Walt Mason THE POET PHILOSOPHER Engages THE MOON. The learned Professor Pickering finds life upon the moon; there men, perhaps, are dickering, and chasing the doubloon. We've always thought it tenantless, and cold and gray and dead, without baseball, and penan'- less; with none to paint it red. But now Professor Pickering sees lite signs everywhere, and maybe meu are liquoring in soft drink joints up there; and maybe skates political as gifted statesmen pose, and kickers, dourly critical denounce the movie shows. We've viewed the moon through telescopes, its craters and its vales; through fakers, in their yellow scopes, framed up some dizzy tales, of living beings dwelling there, we though their tales were bunk; no orators were yelling there, no statesmen peddled bunk. We gave no time to bickering, our platform was sto strong; but now Professor Pickering has shown us wheré we're wrong. He's found a lot of greenery, strange plants that grow and thrive; amid that ghastly scenery some cow feed is alive; and--is it merely van- ity ?--if such things appear, there's sure to be humanity on hand, to profiteer. The learned Professor Pickering to our beliefs says, "Scat!" So play him on your Chickering and paste him in your hat. --WALT MASON. -- ULSTER'S SUGGESTION, Proposes Two Dominion Parliaments in Ireland, London," Nov, 15.-- It is under- stood that the Ulster Cabinet's coun- ter-suggestion for an Irish settlement was the setting up of two dominios parliaments, one in Ulster and one in the South. Also tha: all extra transferred powers go.ng with the promised dominion status in respect of customs excise, inccme tax, otc. should be exercised by the Ulster parliament for hersel', just as would be the case with the Southern par- ilement. It will seers that in this case ahy powers to be exercised by a linking council betwean two such dominion parllaments--if this body set up by the present act were re- tained--would be rather shadowy. England manufactures little of its own ice. The greater pari of her supply comes from Norway in spe. cial fast wooden ships, Xm THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY PERFECT PEACE: -- | thee: Isaiah 26:3; i BY SAM HILL Spann * Nothing Doing.
