The doctrine preached by era is blamed for the assassir { of Field Marshal Sir Hedry W | Great Britain. The de Valers | trine is noe of hate, and the | is murder. Had de Valera and his ! chief lieutenants been treated manner as the traitor Case- treated, Ireland de duc= resuit in the same ment was would have been further ahead to-day. Sa long as de Valera is permitted to go about unbridled, murder will con- tinue rampant in unhappy Ireland, | and the lives of British leaders will | be endangered may bea {only one method of dealing with the {Sinn Fein element, and that methed {is the bullet and the rope.

It is contended by | leaders of the men's organizations | that the employers desire to "reduce ithe earning capacity of the higher grades below a standard of health- ful and decent living," and that in | the case of the grades receiving the | lowest pay employees "have been de- | graded below a level of bare animal | existence." If either of these statements correct, the great army of ultimate consumers--the and women who constitute the majority of (he population and whose interests inthe jcettlement of the existing railroad problem are as vital as are those of | the railroad owners and operators lor those who receive their income from service with the railroads-- | would be a unit in protesting against 18 men f | { | | | | | | f | | | | | | | | { | {any downward change in the present | scales of pay. When such statements | ag those quoted are made it is well | to enquire whether they are sincere | | | | expressions of belief or designed to | win a public sympathy not be warranted by the facts. Publie opinion demands that sil | classes of labor shall have not only la 'living' but a "saving" wage. On | the other hand, it will not support {or In any manner sympathize with strikes that are the result of inflam- matory declarations regarding alleg- {ed efforts to reduce men to the level {ef animals. This is a time for all parties to industrial controversaries | to keep their heads. AVERSION TO WORK. A man remarked some years ago, says the Oswego Times, that ne { would prefer to suffer severe pain rather than work. There are a good { many like him in the world--and not a few live in Kingston--and they | constitute a problem for their friends land the community. There are some men who are bora {tired. In some cases their feeling is f the result of a poor physical condi- | tion. They may have ruined theis | health through vices, or perhaps in- { herited enfeebled constitutions and never made any effort to build tham {up by wholesome outdoor exercise. { Such men are entitled to some sym- pathy, but they are largely respon- sible for their troubles and might yet cure them by a resolute effort | for physical improvement. - Other men were born without am- bition, easy going, good natured, ir- responsible. Often they are person- ally agreeable. They go through life in a happy-go-lucky way, accepting favors from friends, never feeling {under obligations to make return. Men like that must always be re- garded with a certain degree of cou- tempt, as they consume thefr full { share of the world's comforts and { make no return for the same. The. man who said he preferred pain to work was a 'quite different | type. He lived on a farm, but was by mature a bookworm. The plow and the hoe were hated objects lo { him. Not the least interest could be arouse in corn, hogs or cabbages. | But you give that man some subject | to look up in a library, and he would | prodyce a very intelligent report of it, A man like that is a misfit in lite, and somebody should have steered him into his proper calling. If he had been trained for library work, or some form of investigation or re. search, he would have made good, rendered useful service to the world. and could have lived a happy "life. What a pity it is that the gifts of =o many people are never discovered and that they blunder through life doing things that look worse to them thar severe pain. He is never at a | EUROPEAN IMMIGRANTS. On.the arrival of a certain steam- ship at Montreal a few days ago, it was reported that the passengers in. cluded a party of four hundred far- mers from European countries, most- ly from Poland and Russia; and a strong effort was made to give the 'people of Canada the impression that these were the very best settlers the Was no report which may | was significant to note that there | of a single farmd} | climd the tree. | | f dominion could possibly have. It ! Charles C., resides in Deseronto. THE from the British Isles, the only Brit. | Ish immigrants mentionec ing a| party of forty domestic servants. Thus it once again becomes apparent the country is pursuing its immigration work, not in the Britis Isles, but in the countries of Europe where social : d ideas are rampant, and where the British ideas of justice and govern- ment are absolutely unknown and and therefore misunderstood This country .is becomi almost a dump- ing ground for ners who neith- cr read, write nor,speak the Englisa language, who are !gnorant of our laws and customs and who are of tha one type which might be considered a menace to the future of the nation. Canada needs immigrants. That is an admitted fact. The country must have more people to increase produc- tion to such an extent that there wiil bea larger exportable surplus of pro- duets with h to help pay ths nation's debts The railways need more immigrants in order to increase traffic and help to put them on a paying 'basis. But surely these oh- Jectives can be attained without go- ing to the extreme of scouring th= Bolshevistic countries of Central | Europe for settlers. It will be said, of course, that these settlers are men who are tired of the conditions in their own countries; that they have come to Canada to escape trom them. | But that does not make them any more acceptable as settlers in this | country. The foreign element of our! population is quite large enough as it is, without having additions mad-~ | to its numbers by the influx of par- | ties of the kind which Tanded at] Montreal the other day. | There should be a greater con- | centration of effort on the problem | of securing British settlers for Can- | ada. A surplus of labor exists in| the British Isles at present, and f{t| should be possible to secure mon from the motherland to g0 on our vacant farm lands. Whether it is| that the railway and steamship com- | panies find it more profitable to se- cure immigrants from Central Eur- | ope than from the British Isles is hard to say, but it is strange that 80 | many are coming from continental Europe and so few from Great Brit- ain. The policy of selected immigra- tion, with the selection made at the | port of embarkation, should be pat! into effect, as it is the only policy | which will ensure that Canada will | receive the best type of settlers; and | the best type for this country is | found amongst those peoples who | have been brought up to speak only! the English tohgu» and to know ani | respect British laws and institutions. | It has been claimed that these for- | eigners, in three generations, become Canadianized and are good citizens of the country; but why should it b> necessary to wait for three genera- tions for this to be realized, when settlers could be secured who would be Canadianized in speech and in un- | derstanding of our manners and cus- toms almost as soon as they stepped | upon our shores? that and communistie | whic CHARLIE MILLER Director of Atlanta, Georgia, Kiwanis club, and chief booster in getting the 1923 convention of Kiwanis for that city.
