No one has ever been able to sug- gost the faintest reason for. this harsh and indefensible change. We ought to be so glad to see our wan- dering childfen returning to the na- tional fold that we would be willing to make their repatriation as easy and speedy as possible. Instead, we treat them as suspects. We shut the door in their face. We punish them. We humiliate them. We do all we can to suggest we do not want them. Such a situation is intolerable, and is unquestionably contrary to popular will. Therefore, no time should be lost in amending the law. AN OLD-FASHIONED GAME. The jolly game of "trust-busting," in which many a politician made a star reputation, is going out of fashion, according to the Bank of America of New York. The war taught us too good a lesson of the value of combination. Here in Can- ada the Imperial Munitions Board performed wonders of organization and production that could not be duplicated now. The Imperial Food Board also developed a system of credits and huge 'purchase which it would be advantageous to maintain always. The producer secured se- cured the best price he had ever re- ceived and yet the spread bé&tween that and the price to the consumer was kept at a minimum.

The people of Bermuda have just voted against female suffrage. Be- fore anyone leaps to conclusions about the matter, it should be re- membered ' that this British colony out in the Atlantic has social con- ditions somewhat different from those which obtain in Canada. An overwhelming majority of the popu- lation is colored, and, while the peo- ple of that race have adequate re- presentation. in the legislature and municipal bodies, it has always been deemed expedient to attach a pro- perty analification te the franchise That seems to have been the control- ling factor in the recent decision, coupled with a desire to avoid com- plications in such a mixed commun- ity. The Bermuda incident is in no direct way connected with the meet- ing of the League of Women Voters at Richmond, Virginia, the other day; but the two things have a simi- lar significance. At that meeting one of the speakers made the fol- lowing observation: "Man is not crazy about doing anything. He is just crazy to find out things. If the league can get hold of the information which man has uncovered in his mad rush to investigate, but has never used, it can do a wonderful work in molding public opinion." years the Pacific cyclonic areas are ent farther south, while great anti-cyclonic developments occur in the far north and sweep south eastward over Canada, accom- panied by severe cold waves which not infrequently reach the Atlan- tic coast. There conditions led to abnormally cold winters in Can- ada. In other years the Pacific cyclonic areas appear to be of such intensity that they force their way into the continent in high lati- fudes and actually prevent the formation of anticyclonic areas and their concomitant low tem- peratures. . These conditions lead to mild winters in Canada. There appears to be a connection be- tween the temperature of the North Pacific ocean and the Japa- nese Current and the characters of the winters in Canada, and the Meterorological Service is investi- gating the subject." Here is at least a promising com- | mencement. As time proceeds, the | systematic study of atmospheric con- | ditions may lead to the discovery of a constant law governing the inten- [sity of our winters and summers.

Was an attempt to turn back the hands of the clock. And like most such attempts it has proved to be almost futile. Perhaps one of the reasons why large corporations are no longer regarded with such dis- favor is that because they are grow- ingly abandoning their old "public be damned" attitude. But if large cprporations are a good thing, it is not wise to leave them free of restraint. The lust for power and the opportunities for gratification upon which it feeds are often too much for men. Their point of view becomes warped and the most injust procedure seems to them perfectly justifiable. The present attempt of the Cana- dian Government. to curb the rates charged by the Atlantic Shipping Combine is not trust breaking in the old sense at all. As the Hon. George P. Graham made plain in his speech in Kingston, it is a reward to an independent company in return for allowing the Canadian Government to fix the rate. The government does not care whether a combine exists or not. What does matter is that ship- ping lines, often owned by railway companies, should not be able by a raise in ocean rates to rob the farms er of the benefit of a reduction in the rallway rates. The latter are under the control of a Railway Comi- mission but the ocean rates are not. The arrangement with Mr. Peterson is simply a logical attempt to extend that jurisdiction to at least one line of ships. If Mr. Peterson gives lower rates the saving to Canadian ship- pers will be millions of dollars above the Government subsidy. If the rates are not lowered there is no subsidy and the experiment costs Canada not a cent. ---------- AN ALARMING DISEASE, We are always, for obvious rea- sons, concerned in the things which affect the social evolution of our neighbors across the international boundary. That boundary is very real in one sense, and yet wholly un- recognized in many other senses. Hence, we should be alarmed by the Announcement that a new, or com- paratively new, disease is taking heavy toll among the American peo- ple. Dr. William S. Sadler has diag- nosed it as "Americanitis." Since it is contagious, rather than infect- ious, we may assume that when it comes to be identified on this side of the line it will be known as "Canadianitis." . By any name it wil Tn. his report to the Gorgas Mem. aria} Institute, Dr. Sadler confirms hi : 'only suspectsd s ; fF iH HEIR | : g i i it iF i i i : $f Probably it was merely intended as a declaration that women have no monopoly as respects curiosity. Be that as it may, we rather incline to the view that man's everlasting re- sponsiveness to the nudge of the interrogation mark has been a good thing for humanity, whether or not he has put to a good use all he has found out. That may have been the meaning.. I! so, it should at the same time be frankly admitted that he has not been close-mouthed about it. Married men at least tell their wives everything, as wives must acknowledge. If, on the other hand, this was a slam- at scientific research, it was {ill- considered. The sex line is not drawn in that important matter. In- deed, women are in growing num- bers becoming participants in that noble quest. The case of Madame Curfe's joint work with her husband in the discovery of radium is strik- ingly - in point. Scores of other splendid examples could be given. And surely women share in the bene- fits of all advances in human knowl- edge. Ni -- WEATHER FORECASTS. The science of forecasting the weather is approaching perfection. It is based on the operation of fixed laws, and, subject to certain quali- fications, 1s as well established as any other branch of modern science. The daily forecasts are made after information has been received from about sixty points scattered all over North America, and follow the as- sumption that results grow inevit- ably out of the conditions thus dis- closed. Those conditions, for the most part, relate to barometric pres- sure amd . degrees of temperature. In other words, scientists now under- stand fhe meteorological laws which ca rainfall, heat and cold, storms of Aarying Intensity and so on. It has been observed, however, that the predictions which appear in the daily papers cover only a period of twenty-four hours. Such infor- mation is of great social and econo-, mic value. But of perhaps greater value would be a reliable forecast of conditions for an entire season, as, for example, whether we are to have a cold or a mild winter, a very hot or & moderate summer;and to that pos- sibility scientists are now directing thelr attention. In the April issud of The Journal of the Royal Astrono- mical Society of Canada, reference is made to this matter as follows: "While dealing with the sub- | way. "Remember I am also interested in the patient's health, and I would- n't do anything that would prevent him from getting well. I am willing to extract the teeth if you say so, but I don't like to see him lose such good chewing teeth. I would like to try and treat those abscesses for a little time. Sometimes I have been able to save the teeth and sometimes Lye failed. Just let me have two or three months to see what I can do." The physician is usually willing to meet him this far, and so he treats the teeth regularly, cleansing out the abscesses, and inserting an anti- septic dressing. He can usually see improvement in about six weeks if 'there is going to be any at all. In another six weeks there will be a marked improvement, and another X-Ray is taken. This will show the improvement made, and the physic- ian and the patient are satisfied. In other words it simply means that if the abscess is just at the root of thq teeth, that very often the anti- septic treatments are sufficient to clear it up. 7 "It however the condition has gone on past the tooth, and the infection has got into the bony socket of the faw bone, into which the tooth fits, then the treatment is of no avail, and the tooth must be extracted. And then this bony socket itself must be cleared out, and antiseptic treatments given, to prevent further trouble in the bone of the jaw. This all looks like good sense in the light of our present knowledge of these teeth infections. It also gives the patient the bene- fit of the co-operation of doctor and dentist, and the best possible results are thus obtained. It is to be wondered at that the early settlers in the New France did not at once set about producing their own supplies of grain, instead of depending upon supplies from France. But for many years Hebert, Quebec's first farmer, was the only farmer in the country, and the little town below the cliffs looked eager- ly for the dainties which were grown by the pioneer on the heights. On this day in 1628 Sieur Couillard, Who was married to one of Hebert's daughters, used the first plough, drawn by oxen, in Canada, and Champlain himself records the fact, ar one of importance. Couillard was & friend of Champlain, who was pres- ent at his wedding and who was godfather to his little daughter. 'Coufllard lived with Hebert in the great stone manor house and. after Hebert's death he took his place and wqrked the farm. It was in this {house that in 1832, when Canada reverted to France after being oc- cupied for three years by the Eng- lish under Kirke, that mass was held | to celebrate the event.

An interesting story was told by Principal Gaadier in his address at the dinner given in connection with the unveiling of Professor Kilpat- rick's portrait in Knox College. He repeated a conversation which he had had some years ago with the late Principal T. M. Lindsay, of Glasgow. Principal Lindsay referr- ed to a remark which had been made to him by Dr. Edward Caird of Glasgow University, afterwards Master of Balliol College, Oxford. Dr. Caird said: "The two finest minds that ever passed through any classes in Glasgow went to Canada-- John Watson of Queen's University, and T. B. Kilpatrick .of Knox Col- lege.

Prescott, April 37.--Anna Mark- ham, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Markham, who live near the village of Lowville, passed the night in a patch of woods some distance from her home, when she was caught in a barbed wire fence, from which she was unaMe to extricate herself. When found yesterday morning the child's arms and face were blue and swollen from the exposure. She was in sn exhausted condition, but was conscious. Search for her began early in the evening, when she failed to appear for supper and the entire country surrounding the home was searched. At daybreak she was found by her father in the small patch of woods, and although it re- quired but little effort to free her, the effort was beyond the strength of the child. w Renfrew Residence Burns. Renfrew, - April 27.--The 'dence of D. 8. Bell, manager of the Renfrew planing mills, was badly damaged Friday night by fire which broke out from an unknown cause. The chimney had earlier in the eve- ning been burning and the firemen were summoned, but nothing fur- ther was feared from fit. It is sup- posed now that a spark from the chimney caused the second fire. Nearly all the furniture was saved. The losg will be about $2,000. Insur- ance is carried. Pupil Given $225 Damages. Brockville, April 27.--Damages amounting to $225 have been awarded James Merritt, a pupil in a school near Prescott, as the result of a civil action taken by him against Good Halliday, his teacher, for alleged undue punishment.
