THE DAILY BRITISH | WHIG SATURDAY, MAY 8, TE E---- | LEADERS AND WORKERS. The world hasn't much to be proud way of leadership. jof in the , have talked much | statesmen Rave 'done little, great world of common people was | calmly going about its business, till- | ing, making, trading, carrying. Then | the. leadership said "Fight," and | everything constryetive stopped. The | accumulatiéns of the workers dis- | appeared. Beautiful structures were | destroyed, fair fields were blasted land turned into deserts; bodies of men were broken and maimed and millions were left dimmed in wits and crushéd in hopes. Then the leadership set to work '"'reconstructing." Not a very good job of it was done, Meanwhile times are getting bet- ter the world over. But it is not because of leadership. There has been very little constructive legisla- tion which might be credited. What hag happened? The common people have gone Under great difficul- ties they are beginning te till and make and trade and carry. It is very hard for them because the rules of the leaders' are hindrances. "You | must not-tradé with these; you must not byy of those; you must carry under such and such conditions," says leadership. But even with the pburdens of unwonted taxes and the restrictions of many rules and regu- lations, the workers! are bringing There is a vast stamina in the good old world, but it sorely needs wise leadership. wsietcstetei BEING ON TIME. It you can not always be right, you can always be punctual. Of all the virtues none is so pouplar as punc- tuality. Of all human traits the most unpopular is habitual tardiness, Should some one take exception to such an application of the expres- sion "human traits," let it be said that few im number are the relig- fously punctuak The man has not liyed who has not been late. True, there are many who observe the strictest rufes of punctuality, but the great mass of men, women and: children are more often late than' on time or early. This is doubly gignificant because it is conceded by all that it is as easy to be early as to be late, and much more satisfying. Some measure of the value placed by civilization on punctuality is of- fered by the stress placed on it in the schools fram the first to the last years of training, by industry, com- merce and business, by all military organizations, by individuals and in every phase of human life where there is any attempt at system, and in fact wherever two or more peo- ple are fa contact. Nothing so irritates us as being compelled to wait for a delayed train or a person who is late for an appointment. Wags and wits have since time immemorial, reckoned wo- man as the most flagrant violator of this rule of etiquette. Husbands and sweethearts can best prove the truth or fallacy or this, but the world well knows that it is a fault common to all, In our' social intercourse we are irritated by tardiness mainly because we lack the virtue of patfence, and when gve are thus piqued it is a good time to ponder on the position of the employer who-suffers material loss through the tardiness of employees, and on the necessity of school dis- cipline and factory and office time clocks, A---------- Z ADVERTISING AIDS ALL. Newspaper advertising and the automobile have combined to bring the city-shops to the very deor of the farm house and the suburban home. Each -day the newspapers bring a complete quotation of what can be bought, where it can be pur- chased and the prices at which: it can be purchased. The sale is actus 2lly made through the advertising columns of the newspapers. A visit to the store next day by automobile completes the exchange of money by merchandise. How much more convenient s this contrivance' of modern commercial and industrial genius to the ineffie- ieht method of our rural forebears who knew only their personal needs? With them there was no alternative for the slow, tedious and. disappoint- ing expedient of going to town by waggon or cart or trusting to dili- gence and a stout wt of shoes to seek out the Sho Ww, whith they were in need of and Which sold it at an -{ acceptable price, if not at the lowest obtainable price. 'The merchants in the cities and towns need mot have debated over the inroads of the mail order houses before the day of the automobile and Of persistent newspaper advertising. The mall order houses provided the firal buyer with a store--if only on paper--in which to plan his 'buying. Newspaper buying Is now offering the service formerly offered by the catalogues of the mail order houses, but in addition is furnishing this service daily instead of twice yéarly, is giving the buyer the choice of prices and the goods of all mer- chants, not those of one, and is ren- dering a valuable 24-hour service in assisting the public to determine its wants. » A Might may not be right, but it's seldom left, The | but | A decade ago the] [by the acting mialster of finance, | SUPPORTING THE BUDGET. Mr. Robert Forke, leader of the | Progressives in the federal field, tells the house that he is heartily in favor of the budget as introduced Hon. Mr. Robb. Other membars of his party have likewise themselves, and these ments elicited applause from the ranks of both the Liberals and the Progressives. There is a clear in- pronounce- dication here that the government | of Premier King will have the sup-| port of the westerners. True, the reductions in duties and sales taxes do not go as far as the Progre ssives | would Ilke to travel, but they are willing to accept a part of their! programme while hoping for more to-morrow. The poise of the Conservative op- position is out of all proportion to its numbers, They econstituta but a handful in the house, and ars not to be taken too seriously.

At times, only two or three members of the opposition were in the house, and their corner had a very daserted ap- pearance. It will be several years before the King government goes to the coun- try. By that time the tariff changes will have had time to prove their worth and the country will be wall satisfied with the results. All the calamitiés now prophesied by the Tories will have vanished into the air, and the general prosperity that will follow this Liberal budget, as it has followed other Liberal budgets in days gone by, will convince the elec- torate of Canada that their interests are Dest served by keeping Liberal governments in power, CRIME AND YOUTH. Growing up in the city is a pre- carious busihess for our youth, aec- cording to police statistics. It fs estimated that 756 per cent. of the crime is committed by young boys and that the hardest criminal condi- tiong to correct by the customary court and prison methods of redemp- tion are those created by erring youth, The prevalence of crime among the juvenile element of the cities is at- tributed to improper home condi- tions, "poverty, lack of restraint, many temptations and in not a few instances to the absence of under- standing and gympathetic police and courts. Boys and girls will listen to. reagon 'and - will respond to kind treatment, but they rebel against migtrestment and undeserved pun- fshment. There is a certain adult criminal class which is unredeem- able, but there are few juvenile wrongdoers who cannot be salvaged. Much of the so-called juvenile crime tn the larger cities is known in the smaller towns ana rural districts as harmless mischief. The city boys with an appetite for apples but 'with- out the pennies are hailed into the courts for petty larceny and on the first or second offence are committed to reformatories. In the country "swiping" apples, watermelons and corn ig a part of a boy's education. He does it with no criminal intent but in the beliét that it is his prero- gative to raid the farmer's fields RY that it is the farmer's prerogative t chase him from those fields. Thousands of boys are being plac- ed ih reformatories for acts of phtty thievery, although the public, the po- lice and the courts realize that self restraint and self-denial are not in- stinctive with adult mankind, much less with adolescent youth. It is training, not punishment, which teaches youth the difference betwoen right and wrofig, and the beneficial juvenile courts are those which lead little boys abd girls In the right direction and not into resentment and forced association with seasoned criminals. In addresses before the local Rotary Club, both Judge Mott, of the Toronto Juvenile Court," and Rev. Mr Black, of the Kingston Children's Ald Society, strongly ad- vocated the setting up of a juvenile court in this city. There was plenty of material, they dectared, to keep such a court occupied, while the good it would perform for the boy and the community was béyond com- putation. Some day such a court will be established, and will prove its worth. KINGSTON IN 1850 J Ie TuYAE) Qu ae "o- More Hotels. 5 May 8.--~The Exchange.

Barton, M.D, The Old F Old Folks. A physician was called in 'to see a woman sixty-seven years of age af- flicted 'with a stiff knee joint on the right side, and stiff hip joint on the left. Her hands were somewhat crippled, but she was able to mani« pulate a cup of tea. Her health otherwise was pretty fair. The ap- petite was good, she could get around the house without crutches, and her mind was as bright as it had ever been, | He advised that she walk about] the house more, try to wash a few dishes, and do other little chores. The use of the body and joints with a little massage was all that was necessary to keep her "a 80- | ing." Did she follow his advice? No! " Her family were very anxious to have her comfortable. They didn't want or need. her help about the house. And she herself was inclined to| agree with the suggestions of the family that she make herself real | comfortable, and not move the joints whatever. So she began to remain in bed until noon every day. Then she would stay in bed all day two or three days'a week. She had lost her appetite, sleeps very little, and has lost many pounds in weight, and her joints are now so stiff that she couldn't walk if she wanted to do so. What is my point? allow "rheumatic," stiff jointed peo- ple to take to bed. And it might be just as well if we did not let our elderly people also! take to bed too soon. You have often seen it, where the old, were encouraged to "rest" thems selves. This very "refting" is thelr un- doing, because then real trouples of digestion and circulation are set up. You can readily see that when they are up and dressed, they aré encour- aged to move around, to actually go for a walk. Their mind and body both get an opportunity to function. The appetite is maintained, and the 'intestine does not become slug- gish. 4 The biggest point of all' is that they keep the heart strong. This maintaining of the strength of the heart is most important, be- cause eirculation femains sufficient to carry them aléng for years, where- as if they go to bed and allow the heart muscle to become weak, any disturbance such as indigestion or bronchitis, will be such a tax upon the heart that they may not pull through. My idea is not that old folks should be made to work. They have earned the right to do as they like. But sometimes a little encourage- ment on your part will help them to move around more, and they will thus. be brighter mentally, and stronger physically. E-------------------- | WHY THE WEATHER? DR. CHARLES f. BROOKS Secretary, American Meteorclogical Society, Tells How. Spring Fog. Two types of autumn fog are sel- dom seen in spring--the radiation fog or "land fog" that collects "at night in lowlands, and the steam fog that forms over bodies of water. In spring, the air is generally drier than in fall as the temperature trend is upward. When air is warming, more and more water vapor can be present in it without condensing and becoming visible. - Again, in spring and is giving off less moisture. Since the nights are shorter than in fall, there is less time for nocturnal cool- ing to reduce the temperature of the air to its point. As lakes and oceans less rapidly thén the air, In spring they do not "steam" any more than cool soup would steam fn a hot room: On. cool autumn nights, Howver, warm lakes frequently "steam." » Spring, however, i vol not lack 108 'of a different type-->the chill: PE, These fogs form by day as as night and though appearing water bodies are quite different in Kingston, Perkin's] Mr. | full--it | That it is a mistaken kindness to |f mother or father, grown somejhat |i of Quinte House, the Princess House, | | | | ll The New Hat With Fancy Band.

Presently a low pressure area on land, approaching the coast, draws this foggy air back off the ocean. Or, in the case of a lake, the chilled air simply reaches the opposite shore. - The fog creeps in to shore as long as the wind is light, but if the wind becomes heavy, the fog is soon dispelled.
