Pity the poor bachelor, When he has a cold, he has nobody to ask 'where his other handkerchief is. It's really sad the way people are forever forcing a quarrel on the chip who thinks he can lick everybody. POLITICS IN COUNCIL. If the Whig wanted to support the move to reintroduce party poli- tics into municipal affairs, it could easily appeal to the citizens to elact Liberal candidates, on the ground that if & Conservative council were elected it would be out of touch with the government at Ottawa, and that Kingston could expect toreceive no favors from the King govern- ment. That sort of argument has | been used In the past, and not al- | ways ineffectively, The Whig does not advocate such a course. The electors know their own minds and will vote for whom they choose, without regard to which party isin power at Ottawa. But we do find ourselves out of sympatny with those candidates who put party before city in muncipal affairs, Thelr return is opposed because their pol- fey will do the city a vast amount of harm and no concelvable good. TOO MANY TREES. Kingston has far too many tre-s on numbers of its streets. If one- half the trees on some thoroughfares o| were removed, there would still be too many remaining. Trees are all right in their proper place, but huge maples and elms should not be per- mjtted to grow a few feet from a house, for their branches keep out the sunshine -and create dampness. | There is a certain block in Kingston where the trees are so thick that the houses are dark and damp, and families wha have occupied then grew up sickly. There is a commercial side to Kingston's street forests. This year the city's asphalt plant has been fir- ed with the trimmings from the trees. More than enough wood could be secured from unnecesssary street trees to run the city's inciner- ator, and after that there would be plenty left to sell if the Board of Works ordered all unnecessary trecs cut down. A survey might be made and a campaign of tree removal started. ------ KINGSTON'S BEST INTERESTS. The' Whig, In opposing the ro- introduction of politics into the city council, did so because it firmly believed that policy was for the best interests of the city. It knew what party squabbling 'ed to in the past; it knew the improvement in civic life that resulted from the ell- mination of politics, and it knows just what will follow a return to the old and discredited order of things. It further believes that the Conservatives . who have. tried to foist this thing on the city once more are doing a disservice, not only to their party, but to the city as a whole. It is, at least, encouraging to see that there are some men In that party with sufficient civic loyal- ty to oppose the move, and that among these men are aldermaniz candidates like W. P. Peters, Wm. McCartney and T. H. Sargent. The former would not, we are told, per-| mit his name to appear on the list of candidates selected by the Givens- Sowards Municipal Party. This paper does not disparage the capability nor the honesty of pur- pose of many of the men whole names do appear on that list. It does feel, however, that they made a grave mistake and that they are out of touch with public opinion. There is evident in this city a wide- spread desire to keep politics where it belongs--in the provincial and federal arenas--and to ban it from the place where it surely does not belong--the city council. What has party politics to do with city gov- ernment? Absolutely nothing at all. When provincial and federal elec- tions are over, we should all unite, as citizens, to advance the interes's of Kingston. That is sound policy and sane logic, and to that the Whig subscribes. Believing 'in this, the 'Whig could take no other course. THE NEW US, ATTITUDE. There is a great significance at- tached to the new attitude adopted by the United States at the Lausanne conference between the Allied powers and Turkey, at which the United States is represented by Robert Washburn Ohild, U.S. Ambassador to Italy. When the United States gov- | erament intimated that they would be represented at this conference by an observer, it was not expected that their representative would take any part in the discussion, and least of all was it expected that. there would be any move on his part to take an ac tive participation in ive deliberations. To the great surprise of the other re- presentatives, he did even more than that, for he put forward 4 very de- Fd on a policy in which | | the United States was vitally ented. 3 : inter The new" attitude of the United States in regard to the Turkish situa- tion ds interesting because it is the | grat time that the country has shown Any deuire to be nixed up in Europ. ean affairs, since the Vereallles treaty signed. So far as the Turkish 18 concerned, the policy of States has been one of an THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG. them, of in helping to put them into | definite form. The United States] even refused to accept a mandate for Armenia in order to save the Armenians from the Turks. When! the Allies were faced with a new i menace in the form of a victorious! Turkish army which threatened the existence of the emtire Christian | population of the Near East, the | United States remained silent, end aid not lend even moral support to the Ajlies. All along, the attitude of the United States, up to the presen' moment, has been one of supreme in- difference, > What 4s the United States atti'ude now, and why the change? Accord- ing to Ambassador Child, the United States desires that the agreement reached by the Allied powers up to this time regarding commercial and economic relations with Turkey shall not be carried into effect, unless the United Sates can participate in them on a basis of equality. The United States government is evidently afraid that these agreements will prevent that coun'ry from entering into a large share of Turkish commerce when conditions are stabilized in the Near East. The statenrent of Ambas- sador Child, of course, was couched in the language of diplomacy. He asserts that there is no selfish moive behind the attitude adopted by his government, but at the same time he says 'hat his country wishes to pro- tect #ts rights in Turkey, By that he means that he wishes to make sure that no country will steal a march, commercially, on the United States, ' and because there will be, when the! trouble in the Near East fs over, | great. commerolal possibilities there, ! the United States {is an interes'ed party. The United States was not interest- ed when Turkey was at war with the rest of the Allies. The United States was not interested when the rest of the Allies were trying to safeguard the Armenians from the onslaughts of the Turks. The United States was not interested when the Turks were menacing the Christians of the Near East. But, now that there are pos- sibilities of profitable commercial re- ations with Turkey, the United! States Is very much interested. And yet, Ambassador Child says there is a0 selfish motive. Perhaps the rest of the world will have a different opinion.
