AS THE PEOPLE WILL. A student of the problem of auto- mobile regulation thinks he has dis- covered why only a very few com- mupities have undertaken to pre. vent highway accidents by restrict. ing grants of operators' licenses to the demonstrated fit and providing for revocatiom - when evidence of unfitness of licenses is forthcoming. He says that "in most legislatures the representatives of small towns and rural distriets constitute a ma- jority. The aceident problem outside the cities has not become sufficient. ly acage to arouse public sentimep*. The rural representative gets no de- mand for action from the people back home." But it will not be generally accept- A ed as an explanation of the bad con- dition that is constantly growing worse. There is ag much complaint from small towns and rural dis. tricts against reckless drivers as arises in the cities. More real ef- fort is made in the small com- munities, apparently, to enforce safety regulations and punish in- $150 | DF-TOWN REPRESENTATIVE { ' » 23 St. Joba Be, Montes | ---.100 King St. Ww.

Bandung, of Toronto, discoverar of insulin, dur- Ing his visit to the British Isles, form an object lesson to many people wao, with less to their credit then tais young scientist, cannot find words sufficiently strong to put their own claims before the public. If any man bad a right to be proud of his achievement, Dr, Banting is that man, for, although his discovery, in- sulin, is not claimed to be a definite and final cure for diabetes, it nag given such wonderful resulss in cases which would othenwise * have been fatal, that the discovery is looked upon as one of the greatest things ever dome for the benefit of suffering humanity. No man ever had greater cause of being proud of what he had dome, but this young Toronto doctor is exactly the oppostte of what was expected by the medical profession. of the British Isles. Dr. Banting has puzzled the people of Britain because of his unexpected modesty. When he was the speaker of the evening at a great gathering in London, he preferred to take a back seat, walk quietly to the piat- form, give a briet speech fn a con- versational tone, and then he waiked out of the hall. laboratory he worked with the forces ot death and conquered them, on the public platform, hatled as a benef: tor of mankind, his tongue could find no words to utter, and he could say very Mttle regarding the great dis- covery which bas made his name famous all over the world wherever medical science is known. Instead of telling the world of what he has done, in flamboyant Speeches, ag many men are fond of doing, Dr, Banting prefers to let his discovery speak for itself and for him, and he leaves it to others to #ing the praises of his life-giving serum. "This 1s an admirable attitude for a Young man of his fame and hus type to adopt. Homoured by the medical Rrofession the world over, homoured by hid eountry and by his native prov. Ince, he hes kept his head, and main- tains a modesty which is deligatiul in a man who bes deen so loudly ac- claimed as one of the greatest of the world's scientists. How many people there are in the world who would do well - to study this ettitude and fol- low the example of the doctor.

Mr. Spargo de- | claret that the Soviets had done | "itands Across the Fence" { i Bakhmeteft, { the United | | { many 800d things and that he believ- | lea that the Soviet form of govern- ment, divorced from Bolshevism and | Cammunism, night emerge im the [future as the best type of govern- ment for eountries where conditions were the same as in Russia. In reply Bakhmetert stated that the pre- sent Soviet system in Russia was only {a bridge between the old Czarist gov- {ernment and she Russia of the future. "This Russia," Said the epeaker, "will be a great commonwealth of nations om constitutional kines in- stead of as at present under the auto- cratic government. . There was a dais- tinct trend toward const itutionahsm in Russia before the revolution, aad | & resumption of this trend is now ob- |servable. Russia will come back, und the constructive measures now being taken are coming from the people themselves and not from the govern ment. Russia must be rebuilt. For the moment # is in the hands of a government that professes interna- tionalism, but it has had to act re- cently like the government of the czar in achieving national ends to satisfy the will of the people who do not care about internationalism, N strangely enough, Russia is fighting {and breathing in an intense national spirit, even under Bolshevism. Much may remain in Russia from the Sov- { iets, but not from Communism. About 30 per cent. of the people have gone back to self-dependence. The peas- |ants have organized into somothing like vigilant committees out of the | Soviet government into self-govern- ment. The/powerful Red Army fis imbued with the spirit of national ism, not internationalism, and there is no danger that this Red Army will ever invade Europe, for in tae war with Poland this army fought val- iantly while driving the Poles out of Russia, but at the frontier refused to fight any more and turned around. The Bolshevist leaders wanted to seize the obportunity to take Was- saw, but the army and tie people be- hind them would not Support the in- ternational aims of the Req leaders, M. Bakhmeteft also cited the na- tionalistic attitude of the Soviet re. bresentatives at the Lausanno con- ference When they were compeHed to bow to the nationalist demands of public opinion at home. In answer to questions by Col. Woodward and Mr. Spargo, be said it 'was hard to esti- mate public opinton in Russia be- Cauee there was no froe press. ~ From the various forms of reac- tion taking place in Russia ag shown by this former minister at Washing- ton, it would appear that the very Soviets that displaced the monarchy and all semtlance of oonstitutional- ism are prownding the means for the formation of constitutional nationai- ism which 1s bound to result irom the collective experience and cultural in- henitance of the Russian peopie, in ¢he permanent establishment of social systems and forms of govern- ments everywhere. ---- Corporal Punishment Wrong.

' Wet and dry alike are well aware that much of the stuff sold in blind i pigs and by bootleggers is not safe | to drink, much of it is rank poison, and much of it that stops short of poison has a malicious effect on the drinker. How can a policeman or anyone else tell by drinking it whether it is whiskey or even an in- toxicant in the accepted sense of the word? The only way to obtain the conclusive evidence needed is to take the liquid purchased away and have it analyzed. That is the sane way to do it, and it won't poison any police officer and it won't de- moralize good men needlessly sac- a foolish method of pro- hibition enforcement.
