So far from this being the case, it fs astonishing how many workingmen own their own automobiles and equally surprising to find the excel lent use they are making of the cars to bring them to and from their workshops and factories. It is only to be expected that in almost every occupation there should be peripds of depression. Doubtless some industries feel the pinch at times. When money is dear and tight business languishes. What this country needs is a greater popu- lation and wore capital. But that Canada is facing ruin and that her best and most capable men are leav- ing the country is not supported by facts. There is a constant going and coming in certain lines of employ- ment.

Mr. Meighen agrees that exports are all right providing they are of | the right kind, but he does not very clearly explain or go into that part of the subject. He creates the im- pression that it is not a good thing to export raw material, but those] who know their Canada know that our natural resources, if not illimit- | able, are not likely to be seriously depjfted for many years to come Meantime we can take courage; times are getting better and the gov- ernment is doing, and has been do- ing, its share toward making the country more prosperous and con- tented. CANADA'S RESOURCES. When opposition is raised to the export of raw material from this country, those who are against ship- ments on the ground that these re- sources are strictly limited have not a full conception of what these really are. One-half of our arable land has not yet been occupied. Of course we cannot export arable land---it is not suggested---but the fact is mention-| ed as a national asset and a guaran- tee of a great future population. The estimated total of this arable territory is 300,000,000 acres, not fifty per cent. of which has yet been improved. So far as the timber of this country is concerned it is stated that the total forest area comprises 1,200,000 acres, of which about forty per cent. is covered with merchant- able timber. 'We have reserves which are un- surpassed, except possibly in Russia and Siberia, and with our modern foresting and the like, Canada is not running any very great risk in part- Ling with some of her raw material in that particular. Besides many land holders, particularly in Northern On- tario, would be very hard put to it if they were prohibited from exporting pulpwood. \ As to minerals, not a man livisg There are still left in the country | || those who are patriotic enough to| find it good enough for them, and, | therefore speak frankly. since the present government assum- ed office there has been a material reduction in the amount of raw ma- terial exported, as compared with | the total exportation of the%country, | and the Canadian manufacturer, | who, it is alleged, has 'had a hard time in the last two or three years, tion's policy on the tariff.

RESTLESS CHINA. The disturbances which are going on in China are indicative of two things: First, the alm of a large and influential group to set in motion a more comprehensive democracy; and second, to shut out foreign influence. The first is natural. It has-been un- der way for some time. The second affects other nations, and is the only ground for extraneous alarm. In so far as the leaders of Chinese thought and activities are concerned, they are not likely to approve a policy of exclusion; but the student class, re- sponsible for most ve the demopstra- tions which have recently occiirred, are unquestionably actuated by a de- sire to exclude all foreigners and all foreign influence. . "China for the Chinese" is their slogan; and that, unhappily, is meant to include the missionaries, whose work has done | much for the masses. In the unrest which is just now stirring the ancient Empire, we may readily detect one of the logical re- sults of inconsiderate foreign exploi- tation. Great Britain has clean hands in that regard, and we may Germany and Japan have both heen in some down and traduce it in the face of degree ruthless in their assertion of | lj & world that is recognizing the Do- | commercial rights in China, and the United States has not been entirely faultless. To understand the situa- tion as it has developed during the past thirty or forty years, it is only necessary to put ourselves in the place of the Chinese. They are not likely to be less sensitive than our- relative prosperity of the two coun- selves to the policy of penetratioms and infiitration which other nations have asserted, without thoughtful consideration for the Oriental view of such things. The United States is now way to play the role of mediator--a sort of big brother to China. In keeping with resolutions adopted at the Washington conference of four Years ago, our neighbors are ap- proaching the eight other partici- pants in that gathering with a view to have them agree upon a policy of strict non-interference. In other words, the Chinese are to be given a free hand to work out their own destinies. Such an attitude on the part of the larger nationals would be in strict accordance with their own concept of freedom; but it is incon- ceivable that they would go to the length of permitting China to close her door to peaceful trade with the rest of the world. The stumbling block, it is feared, will be Japap. That country may claim epecia Byurostives in view of her position Tn Asia and contiguity to China. Whether or not such privileges could be conceded by thé other nations can, of course, only be conjectured; but 'there would obvi- ously be complications if it were done. In the meantime, Great Brit- ain is looking on with an interested eye. There would be no opposition from that quarter to Chinese inde- pendence of action, both as to her domestic and foreign policies; yet England has large commercial in- terests in the East and would much prefer to see China maintain an open door. In fact, China's position on that point will be the pivot on which the action of both the United States and Great Britain will prob- ably turn. : -------- Press Comments. Moscow Abandons Prohibition.

One of the most interesting and' | helptul things that could happen to a community is to have what is known as a health week. There are exhibits showing the value of ventilation, proper methods of obtaining it, day and night, the value of foods from the nutrition stand point and alse from the stand- point of cost, proper clothing, how infection can spread from one per- son to another, figures on typhoid and smallpox inoculation, apd many { other things that will promote the individual and the community | health. Fortunately those these exhibits, whether they are legislators, doctors, or nurses, are usually people of vision and toler- ance. _ 'They recognize that to edu- cate a xommunity along health lines they must start on a common foot- ing for all, and have as their slogan | "good health for everybody." | Accordingly every organization in the district is Invited to attend the | opening conference. Each repre- | sentative carries back to his club, lodge, association, or other organiz- ation, a full outline of what the health authorities are trying to do. And always there is the full co- operation of everybody. Now it is not hard to see what is | going to happen to a community when they have ha®\a full week's training or ration Ya health mat- ters. The figures before and after these health weeks tell their own story. However there is something that stands out to me from another viewpoint, that is equally interest- ing and important. I refer to the fact of these organ- izations getting together. There are | the Presbyterians, Methodists, Bap- |'tists and other Protestant churches, Roman Catholics, Orange Societies, Hebrew Organizations, Masons, and other fraternal societies, Ladies' Clubs, and so forth. Just think for a moment what it will mean to a community to get all these people meeting on a common ground to] further 'something that is to be of | help to their village, town or city. Not only will the health of that community show what co-operation can do, but a real community spirit, blessed by tolerance, will solve many other problems that may present themselves. in charge of NATURE LORE By Wallace Havelock Robb. Se 3 Only yesterday, a man on the way home from the golf club, stopped to talk with me about some kingbirds I was watching. "I tried to interest the man in the kingbird and did so to his delight, but he insisted on telling me about a robin over at the club house. "The robin is a swell bird," sald the golfer; "it is certainly a swell bird; everybody is watching that robin, over on the club veran- dah, it feeds its young ones, with golfers almost climbing into the nest." There are so many real interest. ing bird stories that sometimes I hesitate to tell too many robin stories, but here is one. A locomotive engineer on a branch line, running a train that was seldom broken, having the same cars day in and day out, noticed that a robin was riding the tender, and getting worms at stations, then riding again. Careful observation betrayed the open secret, which was a nest on the truck of the baggage car. A nest with young ones. How the bird picked such a place is not known. Maybe it started the nest on Sunday, and refused to quit when the train was made up on Monday, for it ran only week days. At any rate, it had the nest, layed the eggs, hatched them and fed them at so many miles a day. Now, here is the best of it.

Forvus: Co: Cocair July 30th. On July 30th, 1865, died Sir Eti- enne P. Tache, the Frénch-Canadian statesman who was premier of the co-alition cabinet, formed in the previous summer to put an end to the "deadlock" in Canadian political affairs. The event imperilled the safety of the government represent- ing both Conservatives and Reform- ers, which was pledged to try to give effect to the Quebec Scheme of Con- federation; and caused great excite- ment at the time; for John A. Maec- donald was the senior member of the ministry, and was invited by the Governor-General, Lord Monck, to take the vacant office. Macdonald accepted the office, but his former opponent and then co-adjutor; George Brown, did not feel that the Reform element in the cabinet would thus get fair play. He said that Mr. Macdonald, Mr. Cartier and himself, were $11 regarded as party-leaders, | and "to place any one of them in an attitude of superiority over the others, with the vast advantage of the premiership, would in the pub- lic mind lessen the security of good faith and seriously endanger the existence of the co-alition." The re- sult was that Sir Narcisse Bellean-- who was not a prominent party-man --was selected for the premiership. oN. oa : CELEBRATION - AT ARDOCH. einai "FOR SALE BRICK DWELLING -~ near ji ueen's University; eight rooms; ee floors; ood cellar; furnace; eleotric lights and gas; a bargain at $4,300.00.
