Khad, the in- ternational banker, speaking before the Ottawa Canadian Club compared Canada--the intrinsic value of whose opportunities grows the longer they are unexploited--to 'one huge de- ferred dividend," of which, the banker sald, "your children and your children's children will be the bene- ficlaries." , This is very kindly and very en- couraging after-dinner table talk, avers the London Free Press. Every Canadian, naturally, is interested in his children and his children's chil- dren. Glad to learn their prospects stand so high, A little "melon" looks good to even modest men. INTERESTING "DISCUSSION, now and then in the 'welfare of British trade and "This was proven in a vivid, way as the King and Queen visited the British In- dustries Fair. While moving about he: was approached by the repre- sentaffve of an all-British firm of typewriter manufacturers, Mr. W. R. Mawle----an ex-Royal Air Force officer with a distinguished record-- and the King listeged with obvious interest to the difficulties with which British producers have to contend. The facts so unexpectedly presented to the King were these: Twelve hun- dred typewriters are imported into Britain every week, duty free, yet British government departments use foreign machines, The King's comment, after listen- ing carefully to the statement, was: "Well, this is scandalous, scandal- ous!" Turning to Sir Philip Cun- liffe-Lister, President of the Board of Trade, who was an interested if slightly embarrassed MNstener, the King asked: "How is this? British typewriters' 'are good emough for other governments, why are they not used in our own government de- partments?" Sir Philip said he would look into the matter. 'And he got a hunch that" will probably arouse aggressive interest iam the propaganda to use home made goods whenever possible, The conversa- tion of King and commoner should have a lesson in it for Canadians, to buy Canadlén made goods and keep the dollars passing about in our own country. PRESERVATION OF WILD LIFE. Sr ------ Judge Fraleck, Belleville, has been' winning widespread endorsation throughout Ontario for his appeal for the preservation of wild life in this province, when he told the Fish and Ganfe iftée of .the Legis lature what he thought of some modern "sportsmen," and pointing to the serious danger of game depletion in Ontario if the laws are not chang- ed and existing laws rigidly enfore- ed. He suggested the prohibition of the sale of venison as a check on the operations of the deer-hog, of shoot- ing of deer in water and of shooting of any but horned deer in order that human lives might be saved in the bush. True sportsmen ask for pro tection of game but the other type whose only law is "kill, kill," do not adopt suggestions nor propose them. It would séem that the two forces are drawing together, adds the Bélleville Ontario, for a' show of strength and it is well that the ques- tion has been brought to a focus. How much aimless shooting of wild life there 1s is well known to many. One has but to go into the early summer woods near the city to seo the dead remains of a bluejay or some other beauty of natural life, de- stroyed for the mere pleasure of shooting and, killing, for there is no gain in it even a er or a plume to carry away.™ The destruction ex- tends to squirrels and other animal life which leads one to ask what has come into men or boys (hat slaying of wild life, without the impulse of |. hunger or danger, should be practis- ed" Much of the destruction of birds is by boys who are allowed to carry the law or the lack of law which does not prohibit the use of firearms.

King George is keenly concerned A WOMAN MAYOR IN SEATTLE. The election of Mrs. Bertha K. Landes as mayor of Seattle, Wash., was no fluke. She won by a major- ity of 6,000 on issues which had nothing whatever to do with her sex. Seattle is the largest city in the United States with a woman as may- or and probably the largest in the world. Seattle is a city of over 315,000 population, There were no extraneous circum- She is not the widow of a former mayor and sentiment did not send' her to the mayor's office. Neither did she run for office to vindicate her husband as Mrs. Ferguson did | {3 Texas. She. has been president of [The "common council for several years. Her opponent in the munieci- pal election was Dr. Edwin J. Brown, the present mayor. The fight was on municipal issues, but one cap gather that law enforcement entered into if) comments the Watertown, N.Y., Times. When Mayor Brown was in New York as a delegate to the pro- longed Democratic national conven- tion in 1924 Mrs. Landes was acting mayor. One of her first steps was to fire the chief of police. Mayor Brown hurried back across the con- tinent to reinstate him. This ineci- dent gives a keynote to the cami- paign. She had the support of the federal and county prosecutors and the force of law and order and she won by a decisive plurality. Seattle has had some strange ex- periments in mayors. There was Mayor Gill and if we remember rightly Ole Hanson was once mayor of that city. Surely Mrs. Lahdes can do no worse than they did and she ought to be a great deal befter. She is not inexperienced in municipal government, having served as presi- dent of the common council, Mrs. Landes is not at all excited. She says that her administration will be conducted along business lines and that her being & woman will make no difference. - She has no axes to grind, but it is quite probable that some of the appointees of Mayor Brown will find themselves separated from the municipal pay roll. ores EDITORIAL NOTES, The average mortal is thinking of spring, but the snow storms persist.

Every week comes news from the north of the hew discoveries or new mines coming into production, while there is a stampede to Red Lake reminiscent of the Klondyke days. Thé Rouyn mining fields in Quebec promiseo prove as rich as anything yet discovered in New Ontario. In Maniteba there is keen. interest at present in the prospective devélop- ment of the Flin Flon mine, with its imménse body of copper ore, and in the opening up of mew gold fields. In addition to promise of new oil fields, Alberta is also looking for- ward to mineral discoveries in the portance. 'There is talk of platinum mines of immense value, while Brit- ish Columbia also is having a revival of interest in mining. ' At the recent meeting of the Can- adian Institute of Mining and Metal- lurgy in Montreal, mining engineers of the Dominion were enthusiastic hs to Canada's destiny as a great mineral producing country. Our production last year was valued at $275,000,000, which was higher per capita than that of any other country. Forty years ago the output of our mines was only $10,000,000. Last year the increased value of production over the preced- ing year was $15,262,000, and in the last 15 year the increase has been 120 per cent.
