We | presyme that in such a case Mr Billop would.bid defiance to his fears by walking right up to the impertin- ent thing and trying to push it !nlo| the -ditoh. + ! The fact is that fear is often use-| ful. It prevents us bringing our liv- es to a too sudden end by unneces- sary foolishmess. There are times, besides, when guick action is need- ful, and fear has been known to greatly increase one's speed. Any! fairsminded person will admit that it is pot easy to climb a tree while wearing snowshoes; yet the record for speedy climbing, as far as we know, was made by a man wearing | this kind of footgear. The abrupt arrival at the same tree, an instant later, of a misanthropic bull moose undoubtedly helped to increase his speed. Fear in this case had a beneficial effect. It is, however, very often paralyzing rather than galvanizing. When it takes this form there is, we believe, nothing to be said in its fa- vor. 'A young.gir! was once awak- ened by cries of y"Fire!" and found the house ablaze. Palsied by fear, she sat down on the floor, where to a sarances she would have re- "Mfained indefinitely if some one had not comesalong and carried her out. There are many similar cases. We cannot say, therefore, that fear is always a wholesome influence. The most sensible view seems to be that taken by the hero of Coap- er's '"'Leatherstocking Tales," Natty Bumppo, frontiersman, guide and hunter, whose perilous adventures with the Indians are still familiar to school boys and girls. He "inolud- ed fear among the rational passions, or as a sensation to be deferred to only when good might come of it." Any one who is able to Yollow this principle will avoid equally para.. lyzing fright and foolish bravado.) ANOTHER DEBT PAID. Great Britain, by paying off an- other of her debts to the United States, incurred during the war, has demonstrated once again her extra- ordinary powers of economic re- covery. The amount of the obliga- tion, considered in the Mght of the tofal of Britain's debt to the countr} to the south, is not Jarge, the amount being in the neighborhood of $122. 000,000. 'There are very few coun- tries which took part in the war, however, outside of the nations of the British Empire and the United! Stage, which could in any way meas- rure up to this sign of fioancial stabils y by jog a real effort to clear of their indebtedness. In spite of the fact that Britain is in a bad position so far as her indus- tries and employment conditions are concerned, she still manages to keep her head well above water. No country of the Allies has suffered so heavily in an economic way as Brit- ain has. From the time Britain be- came a world power, she has been the market place of the world. Her ships have sailed to all corners of the earth, carrying the products of Brit- ish industries to their markets. Her prosperity was based upon her ex- port trade, amd a large portion of this was done with thd European countries. This market has been definitely cut off for the present, and no others have come along to absord the goods which would, in the ordin- ary way, have been consumed by various European countries. In spite of these most unfavourable condi- "tions, Britain is managing to make substantial reductions In the debt which was created in carrying on the war, and, to a large extent, in provid- ing financial assistance for Russia, France, Belgium, Italy and other this line, Britain the Allied na- tions of Europe. of the coun- tries which owe hu ms to Britain bave shown any imchMnation to dls- cuss the subject of the inter-allied debts. On the comtrary, they have assumed the attitude that it was al- most an insult to them to mention such a thing as the payment of their debts to Great Britain. France has bluntly intimated that she does not intend to pay Great Britain until she a med 1 ah 1 she wan Germany, which is fust anotiief way of saying that the French debt to Britain will never be paid it France can avoid paying it. The coms | economic recuperation. THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG of war debts is a striking one, 2nd | it brings out the British policy tn a | very favourable light. No other | country, .. possibly, could come | through the time of economiic string- ency which has overtaken Great Brit- | ain and stiil be able to repay the, huge sums which Britain is repaying to the United States. This shows the remarkable stability of Great Britain, | | and her extraordinary powers of Tnese have bad their foundations laid through centuries of growth and prosperity, and they are grounded deep in the netional life eof Britain. Therein | lies one of the greatest eecrets of Britain's proud position in the world, and the greatest reason for her leadership of the nations. A 'WHISPERING CAMPAIGN, The Conservative campaiga | against the Liberal federal! govern- | ment is In full wing in the city of! Kingston. It is a new departure in | Politics as it is not carried on in the! open after the old fashioned methods | when orators were employed as spell- | biaders. It is a whispering eam- paign, but it is highly organizedyand | the work Is done at public gather-| ings, luncheons, and wherever the | whisperers can sandwich themselves In between those upon whom they de- sire to operate. Every phase of government is! dealt with and the dpologists of Hon. Arthur Meighen are endeavoring to| show that the King government is! responsible for the national debt and | the various taxes put into operation | by the late Borden and Meighen gov- | ernments. 'This government has | done nothing but mark time. It 8] weak when we need a strong gov- | ernment. It has brought an enorm- ous burden of debt upon the country and is taxing the people heavily." This is the strain of the whispering | campaign. Jt doesn't cost the party | machine a single dollar, whereas no | Conservative speaker dares to take | the platform to discuss the record of | the Meighen government or directly | assail the Mackenzie King admini-| stration that is engaged in clearing | up the administrative mess and fin- apcial muddle created by the late Conservativé-government following the close of the war. Old politicians who are well ac- quainted with Tory methods when informed of the new tactics stated that they are not entirely new. The system was used to some extent just prior to the election of 1911, but it was more highly developed in the re- cent election that defeated the U.F.O. government of Ontario. In that cam- paign many Tory candidaitds dared not engage speakers for public meet- ings and were forced by-the neces- sities of the situation to organize the electors. favourable. to. them. for. a whispering campaign throughout the rural ridings. They did mere effec- tive individual work a was pos- sible for spelltbinders , do. The whispering canvass never ceased un- til poling day. In approaching business men the first subject invariably introduced is the income tax, that was drafted by the Borden government. The inter- rogator assumed an Ya ing and sympathetic attitude. | He tells of a | friend of his who 1s very sore and | then uaburdens his own alleged harsh treatment. The conversation goes on until the unwary Liberal is brought to the point of condemning all war taxes, although he has a faint recollection of a notable statement of Sir Robert Borden to the effact that "Canada was in the war to the last dollar and the last mah." Thus the peed ia sewn by the desperate Torles who hope to olimb back into power at Ottawa on the assumption that the people have short memoties. ---- i ------ Marvel of Moder Travel | Brownell, M.A. i graphical Society, § Clarence Lu Fellow Royal London, England. . The days of Sir Francis Drake, of Shakespeare, of "Good Queen Bess," are not so very far away historically. The first voyage round the world dates back to that sixteenth century --aun outstanding century when one thinks of the painters, the poets, the architects and the navigators who honored it: the most brilliant cem«|- tury the world has known. It mark- ed a new era for mankind. Drake's voyage rogynd the world was the event of the century to many minds. It was to them the first actual, posi- tive, convincing proof that the world was a sphere and not & plane. Furthermore, it was an undertak- ing daring beyond conception to the man in the street to-day. A tmp to | man's growing { trison than lke a highly-priced lux- | would have thought as he ate that is just the thing for the man {and that of Britain on the question {pot uncertainty was disaster. The ships were tiny, such as only the {foolhardy would go to sea in to-day.' Life saving rafte---and even life pre- servers--were unknown. There were no signal services and no harbors of | refuge. Scurvy, which breaks out on | { board ship inevitably unless there fs | a supply of fruits and vegetables, had | u free ccurse amongst the mariners, | | for there was no knowledge as to | preventive medicines end no know- | ledge of causes. Disaster meant that | the Almighty was angry. Something had gone wrong and had displeas- ed Him. He was venting His wrath. | Surely one might set out on a vo¥- age to the moon to-day with less ap- | prehension than déd the esilors of | Drake's day embark on their voyag? across the western seas. The men | who left early in 1577 did not see the port of Plymouth again uotii | near the end of 1580. i then the most famous men in Eng-. They wer2 land, and possibly in all the world. | They had Hved more in their three years of adventure than most men | live in thirty--vastly more. i The year 1880 was the three hun- dredth anniversdry of the completion of that first BEngMsh voyage round | | the world--a well-nigh unbelievabie | ! achievement in the minds of the peo- | ple of Queen EMzabeth's day--and | | doubted even now by some like the | late Boer president, Oom Paul, werd persisted in declaring that the world | was flat. By and to illustrate knowladge of ma- térial things, comsider the voyage round the world as it is to-day. It is almost as though the voyager sat in his easy chair and let the world ge round him. All he has to do Is to sit still and watah it go. He could, in fact, get into a Rolls Royce and not leave it until he had visited and travelled the streets of all the great cities of the world. It would be irk- some. His car would be more like a contrast ury, but the "stunt" is possible. Fancy what the semi-pirate Drake "salt horse' and "'hardtack" aboard a ves- sel less staunch than a canal barge of to-day, out in the "'nowhere" of a limitless ocean, with only the sun by day and the stars by night to steer by, had some one said "one of thess days ships will go without sails, right into the teeth of the wind, they will "talk through the air their ends on shore; their decks Ww ih 1,000 feet long; they will carry'§,000 pas- sengers, and will Besides Bjve 1,500 men and women to take oof these paseengérs; they will have '"'quar- ters" finer than any palace of any prince or potentate; they will have luxuries no court in Europe now Knows of; there will be the finest of meats, all the fruits and all the gar- den produce of the world; the most skilled' cooks, the finest silver and linens; there will be libraries, thea- tres, recreation rooms, gymnasiums, swimming pools of fresh water and salt water, bath rooms with running water both ipa and cold, in eaclf apartment, book shops, milliners, tailors and more kinds of things to do than any town In England can shcw---and all this will be on one ship that will take you round the worl in a hun days." Sir Francis might have replied "You drink strong stuff. Beshrew me! Where can I procure a potion?" But quite as likely he would believe he had been listening to a man from a-mad house. Nevertheless, there are many trips around the world to be had, already arranged in detail, merely forthe asking, and a few thousands of dol- lars, which the harassed business man gives cheerfully for real diver- sion and recreation. Several of the Class A steamers, perfect in equipment as any hotel oun land, are ready for world tours, and are advertising for passengers for winter journeys,' Yoyages and trips to the renownéd "sea ports of ihe world: Queenstown, Southampton.

It is kalefdoscopic but it 1s change, and that needs it, but to some it suggests tabloids.
