This is a wide, wide | { world. It contains much that is bad, { but more that ig good. Righteous- | [ness is slowly, but surely, triumph- | {ing over sin, | If you do not believe that, or | 4 merely have not realized it, turn for | {a moment to contemplation of hap- | | pler things, Turn your tired eyes | | from the day's record ot evil to the | | golden roll of honor. There is more | | to see on the sunny side, and it is | more worth seeing. ! { ; There are only two reasons for | | gazing at ugly things: either that we | may more fully know evil when we meet it, even in gilded robes; or that | we may grapple with it and blot it | out, | Broad highroads of honor lead to | every worthy goal of life. The mud | roads are in the lowlands, ldding | only to dissolution and corruption, If | we travel the mud road it is at our {own volition. Sin is not the harvest of life. It | is the chaff threshed from the whole- some grain and will be swept from the threshing floor. Why look upon | tne chaff when the grain is there? It some days the volume of chaff | seems greater than others, know that the threshing has been more thorough. : This is a wide, wide world, and full of sweetness for those who would find it, ---- IN REPLYING TO DR. EDWARDS. In a letter to the editor of the Whig, published in the issue of Fri- day, May 16th, Dr. J. W. Edwards takes exception to an editorial which appeared in the issue of Wednesday, | May 14th, under the caption, "Ulster in the Wrong," challenges the cor- rectness ~f the statements contained therein, and disputes the conclusions based thereon. In that editorial, it was stated that Ulster, by refusing to appoint its member to the Irish boundary commission provided for by the act which gave Ulster its existence separate from the Irigh Free State, was losing the support of many of its friends. Dr. Edwards, in challenging that statement, writes at great length regatding the "Govern- ment of Ireland Act" passed in 1920, by which, he claims, the Northern Ireland government was brought in- to existence, and given the six coun- ties of Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fer« managh, Londonderry and Tyrone, and the parliamentary boroughs of Belfast and Londonderry. In thussquoting the "Government of Ireland Act," Dr. Edwards is right, and if that were the only act passed which had a bearing on the subject, then his point would be well taken. But, unfortunately for him, it is not the only act by which the subject is governed. Dr. Edwards chooses altogether to ignore the act passed in the British House of Com- mons ratifying the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1922, In Article 12 of that treaty, a pro- vision is made whereby Ulster, by a { vote of its government, could vote itself out of the Irish Free State and remain a separate state. The same article of the treaty provides for the appointment of a commission, to de- termine, In 'accordance with the wishes of the inhabitants, "so far as may be compatible with the economic and geographic conditions," the boundary between Northern Ireland and the rest of the country, Dr. Edwards may argue that the the government of Northern Ireland, of which Sir James Craig is the head, never recognized that treaty. It is a fact, however, that Ulster act- ed in accordance, with its provisions, and within a short period of its rati- fication by the British parliament, | did vote itself out of the Irish Free State. By doing so, the Northern Ireland government recognized that {the treaty was binding. If one-half of Article 12 of the treaty, providing for this vote, was accepted as bind- ing by the Ulster government, syrely it is sound logic to say that the other half of the article is equally bind- ing. Therefore, by this treaty, rati- fied by an act of the British parlia- ment two years after the '"'Govern- ment of Ireland Act" was passed, the Ulster government {a hound to accept the ruling of the boundary commis- sion,. which, according to the treaty, was to consist of one member ap- pointed by the Northern Ireland gov. ernment, one appointed by ares State government, and a chairman be appointed by the British govern- ment. Dr. Edwards, Bowens: never mentiong the Anglo- Irish treaty, and is pleased to ignore it emtirely, al- though it is because of taking ad- vantage of one of its provisions that Ulster is to-day outside the Irish Free State. ¢ ' The above is the view taken of the matter by, J. H. Thomas, the colon- ial secretary in the British govern- ment. Speaking in the House of Commons on April 29th of this year, he sald that as no settlement by 'agreement was possible, the boun- dary between Northern Ireland and the remainder of Ireland must be de- termined in accordance with Article 12 of the Anglo-Irish treaty. This article, he said, provides for the establishment of a boundary com- mission. 3 In hig letter Dr. Edwards tries to act by which the identity of the six | name the six counties to be included | | Taunching on a criminal career. That make capital by stating that "Is the! ernment and parliament of Ulster | constituted to be Germanised into | a scrap of paper?" | In reply to this statement might | be quoted another speech of the Brit- | ish colonial secretary, J. H. Thomas, | | made at a Labor demonstration held in Derby, England, on May 4th. After outlining the difficulties created by the fallure of Ulster to agree on the appointmegt of a member to the boundary commission, he said: "The government does not in- | tend to treat the Anglo-Irish treaty as a scrap of paper, but to | honor it in spirit and letter." The whole point which Dr. Ed-| wards is pleased to ignore in his let- | ter is that while the "Government of | Ireland Act," passed in 1920, did | in the Northern Ireland State, the | Ulster government, by taking ad-| vantage of the provision of the An- glo-Irish treaty by voting herself out | of the Irish Free State in 1922, auto- | matically brought herself within | the scope of the other provisions of | the act, and within the scope of the | other half of Article 12, under which | she voted to remain a separate state. | In doing so, he is" willing to treat | the Anglo-Irish. treaty of 1922, which brought peace to Ireland, as a- scrap of paper. That is the attitude of the Ulsterites at the present time, and that fis the attitude which is] threatening to bring a renewal of | trouble in Ireland. Yet the disputed | article of that act was inserted speci- ally to protect the Ulster nifnotity in Ireland. It was put there to provide a means of pacifying the people of Northern Ireland. They accepted it, and were pacified, and by their new attitude of trying to discard some- thing which they formerly accepted and acted under, they are not show- ing the consistency which is neces- sary if there is to be a continuance of stable and peaceful government in Ireland. FOREIGN BORN CRIMINALS. The United States finds itself fac- ed with the problem of dealing with a large population of foreign born citizens who have no respect for law and order, and who are dally adding to the population of the pri- sons and, penitentiaries. Canada, to a lesser extent, has the same prob- lem, for an analysis of the peniten- tiary and prison population of this country shows that a very large per- centage of the inmates are foreign born péople who have been unable to bring themselves into accord with the laws of the land 4dd have fol- lowed criminal careers. In order to deal with this problem, the Unit- ed States government has decided that all foreign born prisoners in the state penitentiaries are to be deport- ed from the country and sent back to the land from which they came. This decision shows the world what a great problem has been creat- ed by the influx into the United Stat- es of so many natives of other lands, mostly the lands of Central Europe. The task of assimilating these for- eigners, many of them with only a small knowledge of the language of their new country, and with no knowledge of the laws and instity- tions which prevail there, is a stu- pendous one. Even in Canada, where the percentage of foreign born peo- ple is much smaller, that is, of non- British people, the task is no easy one. While many foreigners have been deported from this country on account of their ériminal propensi- ties, there is as yet no thought of applying a general deportation order to all criminals of foreign birth. Pos- sibly, the plan would be a good one, not only because of its benefit in ridding the country of dangerous men, but also because of its influ- ence as a deterrent to crime. Many of these foreigners who come to this country are already "men with criminal records. Most of them have no love for the countries of their birth, and would undergo any pun- ishment rather than have to return there. This would cause them to think twice before running foul of the laws of the land, and would tend to make them more law-abiding citizens. The real cure, for criminai acts amongst foreigners, however, will only be found when there is a closer check upon immigration of people bt non-British countries. It is of little use to begin to make a check on a man after he has come to this coyn- try and has had an opportunity % is very much like locking the stable after the horse has been stolen, The proper place to make the check is before the immigrant is allowed to leave his own country. Both the United States and Canada can im- prove their immigration regulations in this respect. Before any person is permitted to sail for this country or the country to the south, there should be a thorough investigation, not only into his qualifications for becoming a useful and productive citizen, but also of his character as a law-abiding citizens of the coun- try from which he comes. Canada and the United States have too long been looked upon by Europe as a ---- appetity, bad tongue, bil counties was recognized and the gov- refuge for criminals, and it is time that this idea was dispelled once and | fer all time. ! Keeping an Eye on Yourself. You sometimes wonder whether it is wise to give in to little ailments and go to bed, or to stay on your feet and fight them &ff. If you were sure it was a "little" ailment then by all means don't give in to it. But "little?" Well, if you just seem to be a little lazy and don't feel like doing anything mentally or physically, then you just be "up and doing." Its a mistake to coddle yourself. ° But if in addition to feeling tired, how do you know it is you find your pulse rate is up ten to twenty beats, that you are breath- | ing more rapidly, feel hot all over | and very thirsty, then don't take any | chances but get to bed. These symp- | toms of tiredness, rapid heart and breathing, along with the sight fev- erishness and thirst, are the indica- tion of something 'wrong' in your system. Now it may be slight, but you don't know the cause of the trouble nor its extent, and you should take no chances. As I've said before, some enemy has invaded the system, usually but not always, due to your own. care- lessness or thoughtlessness. This enemy must first be thrown out, and so your heart beats faster and your lungs breathe more rapidly to help to do this job. Then you aid the process by cleansing the bowel, and making the skin more active by inducing profuse perspiration. Thus with all the processes in your body that throw out waste mat- ter working overtime, that part of | the work is being looked after. The enemy is being gradually removed from your body. However there 18 one more thing necessary, With your body doing all this work for you, it is up to you to nurse its strength. If you keep on your feet, trying to fight off the enemy, you are asking your heart to do five times more work just by keeping. on your feet, than it would have to do if you were lying quietly in bed. It is The one organ that will carry you through your illness, why not give it a chance to do its work? If you rest quietly in bed, and the illness or infection as it is called, is slight, you'll be up in a day or two, with only that much fime away from your work, and fit to do your work. If the infection is slight, and you have stayed at your work, it may be you feel "just right." It the infection should be a serious oné, the going to bed gives you your best chance to fight it successfully. use a little judgment in the matter, as suggested above, KINGSTON IN 1850 Viewed Through Our Files The Godless University. August 2.--A gentleman signing himself "A Clergyman of the Church of; England" makes a very able de- fence for the removal of religious qualifications from the matricula- tion standards of King's Ccllege (University of Toronto). He says in part, "And what measure is bet- ter calculated to effect this end (legisthating for the good of tha whole community) than one of gen- eral education without religiqus pre- ference or religious exclusion, in which the powers®of the mind are de- Yiope and strengthened, and yet n> violence offered to the religious sentiments of any, and therefore no feelings offended and no hostilities a week, ten days, or longer before | So if any ailment comes along, | awakened."

Soon he was off among them and at first was well received, the Hurons building him a large house and chapel. The medicine-men who fear- ed and hated the influence of this black-robed man, worked upon the superstitions of their people and made life a daily danger to him. He was reserved, however, for torture by the Iroquois who first scorched him from head to foot, them '"bap- tizéd" him with boiling water, and finally cut strips of his flesh from him and ate it before his eyes. His skull is preserved to-day in the Hotel Dieu, Quebec.
