If she is like the wives of less saintly men, she has some worthy, if sometimes naturally sel- fish, use for the money. She must not be disappointed. Therefore, with all due solemnity and sincerity We cast our vote for the fee, OUR INLAND NAVIGATION. Due in some measure to the fact that the Canadian canal at Sault Ste. Marie was this year opened twelve days earlier than in 1924, and the American canal nine days earlier, the volume of business on month was more than double that of last year's record. Joining the results for the two canals, there was, how- aver, a decrease of 10,448,884 bushels in the quantity of Canadian and American wheat moved. Last year 25,966,623 bushels were lock- ed through, and this year 15,6117,- 939. This would rather point to the effect of an active and high market during the winter, which led to the number of bushels than usual rail. While the Canadian lock at the 800 was opened on 8th April, naviga- tion on the St. Lawrence was not be- gun until 23rd April; yet during that period the river business showed a betterment of 5,937 tons, as com- pared with last year. Coarse grains, hay, oils, sugar, coal and sand show- ed increases: but wheat fell off by nearly a million bushels, and corn and pig iron also registered a lower tonnage. Competent authorities, however, predict an active year on our inland waterways. THEY EXAGGERATED. It has been made abundantly clear within the past few da¥e that those Progressives who declared the west- ern provinces were a unit in favor of the Hudson's Bay Railway were rather drawing the long bow. That they have lively and resourceful im- aginations has been frequently de- monstrated. And they are not at all backward in giving utterance to their flights of fancy. Quite to the contrary. It will never be said of them that they have been inarticu- late in Parliament.

The com- prehensive word "all" is used, be- cause it is now universally conceded that the losses involved in strikes in- variably exceed the gains. One might go farther. There is a growing conviction that strikes be- long to a period of industrial evo- lution which is past. They have too often been accompanied by violence and bloodshed, in that they have given opportunity to the most law- less and uncontrollable elements among the strikers -- frequently aliens unacquainted with our laws and sentiments. We should now have reached a point where justice between disputants could be obtain- ed by resort to the ordinary tribu- nals of the land, or to special tribu- nals erected for the purpose. We are justly proud of our regard for law and order as a people. The Union Jack stands for that principle. No man or group of men need feel that justice, under British law, is unobtainable. Our courts do not re. spect rank nor personages. All men stand equal as regérds the law and its administration. It is therefore highly desirable that strikes should become impossible; and we are mov- ing toward that situation. To burry THE DISPUTES ACT. Humane Society Activities.
