Mr. Francis King, K.C.; chairman of the Public Library Board writes as follows to The British Whig: In the article which you publish-| ed on Saturday, the 24th, regarding | the Kingston Public Library, you] man of the Library Board in answer to your telephone enquiry, and. you added the remark that it was not likely that the City Council could provide the required funds to pay the balances due the contractors as the budget had already been passed. Your articleMunfortunately gave the impression that this remark was mine. The truth is that I said noth- ing of the kind, and that, notwith- standing the Councils long delay and the passing of the budget, it is in- conceivable that the Council will cofitinue to do nothing. In fact as récently as last Friday, when the solicitor for ome of the contractors was so considerate as to consult me regarding the proceeding he should take in his client's interest now that the time within which a mech- anic's lien could be filed against the building had expired. I told him that I did not see how the City Council could fail to take action at its next meeting, as the finance committee has had the whole matter before it since the beginning of the year, has been twice waited upon by the Board, and was expeoted to report at Council's last meeting a week ago upon the Board's letter referred by Council at the preceding meeting, and upon the Board's last interview, To suggest that the Council can do nothing is equivalent to saying that in addition to causing the Board and the contractors and sub- contractors a great deal of unneces- sary and undeserved embarrassment the Council would also be willing that the municipal corporation as owner of the lahd at a very moder- ate price, and of the building as a gift, should enjoy to the full the fruits of the labor and material of the unpaid men without paying va- Ine. It goes without saying that I made no such suggestion, and that 1 know the great majority of the Coun cil would justly resent it, I should like very much to lay the whole case before your readers but this would be neither expedient nor proper while we are waiting for the Finance Committee to report and for the Council to take action at Tae meeting a week hence. Yours truly, FRANCIS KING. The Whig regrets that the -sen- tence in its report about the city counegil gave the impression that it was that of Mr, King, It was not in- that such an idea should be convey- ed. The statement regarding the council is the view of some alder- men, but the difficulty they see with regard to voting the money re- quired will no doubt be 'overcome. The council will not see the Library Board embarrassed. 2 G. RUSSELL DONALDSON Former Whig Reporter Rises to Managerial Post. Mr. G.

To The Editor Of The Whig + Social and Economic Systems Need Improvement. : Sir,--I would like to draw the at- | tention of all these comfertably situ- | ated people who seem to think our { present social and economic systems are all right and need no change, to Bishop Farthing's address before the synod in Montreal the other day. Let me quote some of his reported words: "There are wrongs in our economic and social System which need adjustment: Many are calling on our Government to crush with a heavy shand those who are engaged in communistic propaganda. As to the wisdom of such action I haye nothing to say, for I have not the necessary information on which to base a judgment." This is wisdom on the part of the Bishop. How many who condemn have the neces- sary information to come to a right- cous conclusion in the matter? Should they not first stop and con- sider the causes behind this pro- paganda? If these men were receiving eco- nomic justice would they be com- munists? There must be reasons for every social and 'economic move- It is a natural law that like begets like. If these movements are radical in their nature, there must be radical reasons for their exist- ence. The great law of cause and effect holds good everywhere. The communist is a product of an un- just secial system and to talk about "crushing him with a heavy hand" is 'unjust, arbitrary and futile, and it is pleasing to know Bishop ¥Farth- ing does not lend himself to that kind of treatment. 1t is shallow surface talk. Again, the Bishop says: 'Victory gained by one class or section dver another may cause the victors great rejoicing; but history is ever em- phasizing the fact that only settle- ment built on righteousness and justice can endure. Force is no remedy. To enforce an unjust agree- ment engenders resentment, causes a sense of wrong breast and creates an atmosphere of discontent in which all kinds of re- volutionary propaganda flourish." "There is something radically wrong when we see honest men who are eager to work recipients of relief through whatever form it may come; something is utter)y wrong when we see men, all of whom profess to be Christians in bitter strife, amount- ing to civil war which is frequently waged between Capital and Labor. Something is woefully wrong when we pee class struggling against class, each organized to gain its own interests, each thinking little of the interests of the other; something is wrong when we see section arrayed against section," What bétter illustration can we have that 'thére fs something wrong right here in Canada to-day, that the "bitter strife," amounting to a farce, staged at Ottawa, by our country's representatives. The Bishop goes on to say: "A system which has its roots deeply embedded in the past cannot easily be changed. Many say, why not leave well enough alone. IMwould not have things as they ara because I do not think they are well enough. May I remind you that there is noth- ing so dangerous as a 'laissez faire' policy. Let us remember that we can drift on the rocks as effectually as we can be driven there by flerce storms. If we get on the rocks the results are the same. If we will not rémedy the wrongs existing, if we do not bring in a reign of right ness and justice but permit the evils of the system to continue the revolu- tionary forces may gain the victory or bring the whole system crashing to the ground. In the debris what will we be able to salvage?" These words of condemnation snd Warning are not spoken by a "hair brained" socialist, but by 'a staid Bishop of the Conservative Anglican to rankle in the) 19 cents SHAW'S BIG 19c SALE-TUESDAY BE EARLY FOR THESE BIG BARGAINS 36 INCH LONGCLOTH, 19¢.

AYKROYD. Kingston, April 24th. ---- Planting of Trees, Sir,~~BSome are thinking of plant- ing trees as the right time is here. The Elm is putting in a plea for it- gelf. The maples and other low growing trees have to be trimmed elm-shape to let light into the 'win- dows. The elm reaches naturally above and umbrella-like gives the proper beauty and shade. Knotty, mutilated trunks, even of the beau- tiful maple varieties have not the grace of the elms. --L. M. ENGLAND. Kipgston,, April 24th. PICTON Picton, April 26.~--Mrs. 8. W.
