"EDITORIAL | "Such is.the patriot's boast, where' er we roam: His first, Tn country ever is at "home." > MR. KING'S SPEECH (Toronto Saturday Night) ¢ Mr. King's speech last week left us with a strong impression that there is no immediate pro- spect of an election, He was not proclaiming any slogans; he was celebrating twenty years of his : leadership,-and he was dealing faithfully with Mr. Hepburn in the city of Mr, Hepburn's Legislature, and these things he did very well. - It was an ex- cellent anniversary speech, and it was the speech of a gentleman, but it was not a campaign "speech. the promotion of national unity, the reconciling of - sectional differences, is the chief object of 'policy. 'Mr, King--has been accused of 'an over- whelming desire to 'go down to posterity as a world statesman, who has made notable contribu- tion to the settlement of the international dit-~ ficulties, so largley economic, which have afflicted - the world since shortly after the war. He is un- questionably a /profound believer in the harmo- nising effects of a reasonably free international commerce; but hig deviation te that cause is mild compared - with his concern to keep Canadians of various races and 'creeds and economic interests from unnecessarily flying at oneé-another's throats. It was this which was the keynote of the Toronto speech; and Jooking back over the twenty years we think Mr, King has some right "to claim that if Canadians are less. unified today than they were in 1919 it is not due to any act or word of his, but mainly to the strains" which have been put upon the:structure of Confedera- tion by ten years of world economic difficulty, Editorial comment on the speech has been fav- orable, but some of the big dallles, and notably the Globe and Mail, -have-allowed thelr news ----- columns to editorialize on the alleged disappoint--. ment experienced by Liberal followers. There fs an Interesting point about these tactics. Ordin- arily the belittling of the leader of one of the. the major political parties is undertaken for the sake of enhancing the prestige of the leader of the other party. This time it is ynaccompanjed by any show of enthusiasm for Dr. Manion; and there are Indications that Its promoters hope; if they can succeed in sufficiently undermining the popular regard for the Liberal-leader; to- get rid "'of 'both him and Dr. Manion by orgapizing what they will term a National Governniént composed of lesser men from both parties, and from provin- "cial Legislatures, The idea of National Govern. 'ment is not uninteresting, provided that a suffi- cient number of absolutely first-class men could be induced to join, in its formation; but of the very small number of first-class men in the two Houses of Parliament today there are probably not two who could be persuaded. to enter such a combina- tion with both of the present leaders left out, and ...a National Government containing not more than 'one first-class man with federal experience would It was also the speech of a true spiritual suc- | cessor to Sir Wilfrid Laurier, of a man to whom "of our plea ~ brief space of- time, be nothing short of a national disaster. The N.G. "promoters are understood to be banking very: "heavily on the assistance of the R, Hon. Arthur Meighen, though they are clearly not sufficiently sure of him yet to start in on his "build-up"; but aside from the fact that a Government in which 'he was the only first-class man could scarcely be a National Government we suspect that he has too much political wisdom to try to run.a one- _man show. And beskles, where wold Mr, Hep- burn be? : 0 4» ° WHY. NOT BECOME ACQUAINTED WITH HAPPINESS? . "The wide domain of happiness has never been mapped, "but sorrow has been surveyed and known in every part."--Elbert Hubbard." Our craving for sympathy is largely respons- ible for the thorough acquaintance with sorrow possessed by humanity, We frequently tell our troubles, our aches and pains, and financial losses, to our friends, looking 'to them for the. comfort of sympathy. With happindss it is different." There seems fo he less regsqn to share it; and it is of little valpe second-hand. In fact telling qtifers es and happi is apt 'tq stjr up envy. % All through literature this fact has been -pro- minent. The miseries of mankind have been de- scribed in -detail. Happiness is difficult to de- _scribe. It has no wounds, or deaths, hatred or jealoysies. It is a state of mind--unaccountable exeept-that cireymstances -have Jarmonized with desire--resnlt happiness. However, the exploration of the domain of hap- piness is worth open- -eyed attention, Ta enjoy events and scenes and friends ns they enter. our lives he "highest happiness.
