The American-Canadian confer- ence on liquor smuggling 1s an Ame. rican 1nvasion of Canada as a short cut to stopping the flow of liquor into the United States in violation of the prohibition amendment and the The traditicnal method of stopping smuggling is to defeat the smugglers at the natural in this case Is the Canadian boun- dary. Ordinarily what a smuggler does in Canada in order to promote his success in the United States is of no interest to the Canadian gov- ernment unless he violates a Cana- dian law. The United States pro- poses to ask Canada to help stop the smuggling at its source. Among the proposals offered by that Canada shall refuse to: clear liquor cargoes. . The United States also asks that Canada communicate to the United States authorities all information about larger liquor ships leaving Canadian ports, and that she | endeavor to see that such liquor ships as Neave proceed to the ports for which they clear.: "1 It will surprise no one if Canada is unable to see its way to accede to any of these proposals. They go much farther than anything the British Government has offered to do to help enforce the American pro- hibition law. Canada might be will. ing for diplomatic reasons to help, but she can hardly agreé to catch smugglers leaving Canada if - the United States can not catch them ar- riving in the United States. Consider. ing recent changes in paris of Canada in regard to prohibition laws, she is less likely than ever to yield to the American demand. She ean do much to discourage the traffic, and has indicated that she will do much. but ghe is not likely to invoke the Voistead Jaw in Canada. I ---- NIZABLE, Secretary Hughes's promptitude in rejecting the Russian soviet sugges- tion of negotiations for an accord with the United States should be fin- ally convincing at Moscow of the impossibility of its "making . up" with * Washington. When a dirty hand is insinuatingly placed on one's shoulder, one brushes it off without ceremony. This in effect represents the latest exchange of communica- tions between Moscow and Washing- ton. It is to be hoped that the suitable impression has been made by Mr. Hughes on certain Americans, as well as upon the Muscovites. Only a few hours. before publication ot the American statement to Tchitch. erin, a Washington news dispatch had represented the situation as be- ing favorable to the acceptance of the Russian proposal. That thers was no substantial basis for any such intimation was obvious to all who have followed the &ourse of the state department. The sheer impudence of the Tehit- cherin note condemned it in Ameri- can sight. Pretending to geek "friendly relations" with the United States government and people, Tohitcherin desired that they be "based upon mutual trust." As if any sane statesman could be persu- aded to put anything of trust in the red-handed crew of Moscow. Secre- tary Hughes wasted no words in arguments. His reply amounts to a reiteration of what has been said repeatedly in the past and whs re- stated by President Coolidge in nis Inessage to congress. In concisest form the position is that the United States government "is not proposing to barter away its principles." That is the president's phrase. Before be- vides tor discharging its obligations | and abandons its policy of destroying the institutions of other nations. ing to all who find themselves slip- ping into lives of crime and Jawless- megs. In his own case, the words have already been proven true. A man of much ability, that ability has been perverted to criminal uses, and he has spent the best years of his life behind prison walls, and the only prospect before him is that the rest of his lite will be spent in the same place. A wasted life, in more senses than one, has been the result of his career of crime. "It doesn't pay." What a text for 2 sermon this would make. It should be preached from every pulpit in the land, spread broadcast in everymews. paper in the country, When men go into lives of crime, they do so, always, in the hope that they will Dot be caught, in the expectation of making it a profitable affair. But the prisons and penitentiaries of Canada are filled to overflowing be- cause they found that they could not escape detection, because the arm of the law is long and seldom fails to reach its man. "It doesn't pay." No man, not even a bandit, cares to enter a pro- fession or an occypation which is not profitable. Even "Red" Ryan, no doubt, thought that he could accu- mulate wealth by the use of his gun, but of what use is his wealth to him as he lies in the prison cell at Minne- apolis? ~ There are other things worth far more than money in the world. Before any profession or oc. cupation can "pay" it must bring more than mere dollars in return. It must bring happiness, peace of mind, contentment, and a sense of duty well done. None of these essentials to profitable life can be found in lives of crime. Even although the crim- inal may escape the vigilance of the officers of the law, and may go un- punished at the hands of their fellow men, there is no profit in it for them. They cannot have peace of mind, for the guilty conscience is a terrible companion. They cannot have con- tentment, for behind them there is always the fear of discovery. They cannot have a sense of'a duty well done, for they are violating flagrant. ly their duty to their fellow men. Without these three essential fea- tures, they cannot have happiness, so what can life be to them but a mere existence, with the ghosts of fear and suspense always present. Let every man, be he young or old, who feels the impulse to commit crime, ponder seriously on the words of "Red" Ryan, words which are b¥ no means new, but which come frém his lips with great force, and turn away from the downward path before ever mak- ing the first fatal step. "It doesn't pay," and once'the first step is made, the following steps are easy, because there is a downward impulse which can only end in placing the vietim in a position simflar to that occupied by "Red" Ryan. ----en CHRISTMAS FOR ALL. With every return of the Chyist- mas season there is noted a marked increase in Christmas charity. It is also noted that the Christmas cheer to the poor is now contributed by a large percentage of the people, in- stead of by a few philanthropic rich. Many of the larger cities boast of having brought Christmas to every home. The community Christmas tree conducted by the Kiwanis Club yesterday and the shoe and stocking fund of the Rotary Club indicate that Kingston fs not falling behind in this good work. It is gratitying to know that "peace on earth, good will towards God and freedom from want," reign on at least one day in the year. Increased Christmas charity has brought forth reports that poverty and want {s gradually becoming more prevalent in this country. Pub- lic officials and welfare bodies have declared these reports without foundation in fact. The inference must be that the increased charity is the result of increased philanthropy, a more universal generosity and a new brotherhood of man, than a barometer of growing poverty. It is helpful to concern oneself at least ance a year with the needs and happiness of others. ves | days «| relentless need for motion,"--and in { killed some 4,000 persons on the {Desire-The Rootof Al Evi] Clarence Ludlow Brownell, M.A. Fellow Royal Geographical Sediety, London, England A CORGregRIION At UNE 6T TOTOHT0"S . largest churches listened to an un- usual sermon one evening not very long ago.

Desire is everywhere. Plants show it in turning towards the light. Animals show it in herding and in | mating and in migrating. Human beings show it in manifold ways. It Is the great urge. It urges to con- quest, to exploration, to all sorts of plans for development of industry. Britain rules the sea because of desire. Japan rose from obscurity to recognition as a world power because of desire. Columbus found the west- ern hemisphere because of desire. Magellan and Drake went round the world because of desire. All mils tary masters, all scientists, all en- gineers, all religious missionaries have worked, are working to-day, and will work in the future, because of desire. The human race strives and lives--and exists because of de- sire. Desire has led to all those things that men call good and to all those things that men call evil. To some minds desire has discovered itself as the root of all evil--like the love of money, which means the desire to get { i | Shirt Sale to 16}--regular $2.00 values, for $1.35 each SHIRT SALE No. 2. 260 Men's fine Shirts -- sizes |4to 17 -- regular $2.50, $2.75 and $3.00 values, for $1.95 ~ SUIT SALE 85 Men's and Young Men's Suits--sizes 34 to 44--regular $22.50 to $25.00 values, for $18.00 OVERCOAT SALE Twenty-seven 'smart Ulsters--regular $25 values, for $19.50 Neckwear Sale 280 Men's Knitted Ties--all new designs --regular 75c. and 95c. value, for 0c each and accumulate wealth. So strong has been this beiief as to the menace of desiré that a tenet of a great re- ligion, the faith of hundreds of mil- lions of men and women, is that de- sire in itself is an evil. Followers of this religion seek to 'eliminate desire, but the very fact that they seek to do it is an expres- sion of desire, To seek is to desire an effort to obtain. To realize the goal of non-desire these seekers would have to cease to exist--some- thing most unattractive to western thought. OVERCOAT SALE Forty English and Irish Pure Wool Ulsters.

Your pick at BIBBY'S 125.00 Secretary of State Hughes has | taken up this idea of desire and to use an expression found neither in Shakespeare . or the Bible, has brought it "down to brass tacks." Like former president Hadley of Yale University, he is filled with de- sire. He seeks to tell the citizens of the American Republic something. That as any statesman knows, as every men or woman seeking to en- lighten mankind knows, is some job. Those who pray for the League of Nations admit it with tears. Dr. Hadley tells his fellow citizens to eschew gelf-assertiveness which may bring disaster to the nation if self-restraint does not soon assert it- list, and the total is 35,000, more than it would be were the rate as low as it is in England and Wales. | This at once suggests the remedy | that Secretary Hughes and Dr. Had- | ley propose, namely control, speed | without control spells disaster; un- der intelligent contro} it spells tri- | umph.

You make new resolutions. You. 've broken many before, but you re- member that it is better to make them even if you break them, than not to have even the "urge" to make them. What is my idea? That you make an arrangement just with yourself that you are go- ing to interest yourself in that body of yours. It gives you all you get whether it be joy or sorrow, pleasure or pain. You see, hear, suffer and enjoy through the medium of yop body. Some things may come to you causing sorrow or paln over which you have no control. They come to all people. But you have sense emough to know that a great many of them are under your control. 'What about it? That you determine to treat that body of yours as it deserves, as it gives to, or takes away so much from your enjoyment of life. The first thing if you are an in- door person will be that you are go- Ing to get at least one hour of the day ontdoors. Even If you are in an office or factory, go out at the noon hour for fifteen minutes. Then come back and rest for five minutes before you eat your lunch. After lunch | rest for five minutes and then get the balance of your hour outdoors. Tha will be something. ' 'Next is the matter of food. If you are at office work make up your mind that a small piece of meat is sufficient, and that you are going to eat something green every day be- sides your vegetables. If you are an outdoor man and are doing hard work, don't be afraid of meat. It is useful to repair tissue 'worn out by hard physical work, .. If you are thin make up your mind dilating upon this the secretary cited instances of the effect of this tre- mendous urge. Newspapers, maga- zines, and the writing of psycholo- gists furnish many facts that illu- strate this truth. All people recog- nize it. Most of them accept it, and 'not a few of them enjoy it. It gives a thrill. In days gone by, they might have -compared it to the effect of champagne. Secretary Hughes sounds a note of warning, however. The thrill is en- joyable, even glorious, but is it well to get up to great speed 'without knowing what is ahead? Most per- sons like to arrive quickly, but to arrive implies a destination. What is the destination towards which thig heretofore-unheardof speed is mov- ing? Who has taken time to think about that? Has anyone looked for. ward further than tomorrow or the day after? Manufacturers are reducing costs by mass production; distributors are distributing to everybody. When manufacturers have ground down costs to the bone, they will push out into the field that now belongs to the disributor and eventually everybody will have all the things he can pos- aibly use and a great many more, be- sides, with little to do but wonder |. about themi. The market will be "sold." When nobody needs any- thing more and is cluttered up with stuff that the ardent and seclentific distributor has forced upon him, manufacturers will face a long holi. Thelr plants and thelr distri- buting agencies will be idle. That is carrying speed in industry up to, as they say, the nth degree, which is as yet a long way off, but there are cases where the speed mania has reached and passed well into the danger zone. Dr. Louis h of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, has found rela- tion between speed and accidents. He made a public statement a short time ago showing that automobiles have " continent of North America in 1922, That looks bad, p that for one you'll not eat much , and that | your liguids.
