FILLING THE BILL: NICELY (Brussels Post)’ Fai Post believes F.- Wellington the Liberal leader in the Pro- vnelat Legislature, is filling the bill very nicely, and-is rising to the hon- orable position he occupies with abil- ity, good judgment and dignity. A RUM RUNNING PARLIAMENT (Montreal Witness) Judge Coughlin, of Windsor, has declared the Ontario law making the transport of liquor by highways ul- tra vires of the legislature, as th national government licenses the manufacture for export purposes and the province has no power to annul that privilege, which is what that aw was enacted to do. That judg- ment is, of course, contrary to .the advice under which the law was passed. Which is good law it is not for us to say. We assume that the ad- vice under which it was enacted had +a distinct prohibition sentiment be- hind it. If Windsor elected its judges we might look for an opposite bias on the part of the court. But what we note is that Judge Coughlin points to the Federal Government the figure of condemnation, ant says, “Thou art the man.” It is tawa every time _ etands Goteden Ontario and what wants do not like ea vtsistatigns where the in- tefests of the country are interlock- ed. But if Ottawa refuses national prohibition on the score that Quebec should get what it wants, surely by the same reasoning it should secure to Ontario what it wants which immunity from the manufacture of liquor. If Quebec must have her own wicked way within her own borders, why should she also rule in Ontario? We can conceive of no other polit- ical reason for forcing distilleries and breweries on Ontario than cause Quebec says so. Of course we can imagine an enormous unseen con- trol exercised over the government by the trade itsélf as the wine grow- ers exercise control over the govern- ment of Ontario. The cases are some- wine growers bave a great many votes, possibly a controlling vote, whereas the distil- lers and brewers have to produce political effects in darker wa heir power in Quebec has been a- bundantly demonstrated, though how exercised is ieft to surmise. They can no longer frighten the Toronto government, but they can paralyze the arm of that at Ottawa. Parlia- ment might perhaps be tested on the issue whether Canada shall or shall not license breweries and distiller- ies for practically the express pur- pose of invading the United States. RADIO AND PRINTING Toronto Globe) A member of the staff of Columbia University has high hopes of the ed- ucational influence of radio. He points out that eight million people live within a radius of fifty miles of the university. Think of what it would have gpmeant to St. Paul if he had had sach a medium of communica- tion. Then, while he travelled from Jerusalem to Cyprus, Caesarea, Corinth, Ephesu Philippi, Thessasalonica, Athens and Rome, he could not have sent the words of his mouth to all the churches every day. Those marvellous epistles would have been given a most power- ful reinforcement. We need St. Pauls in our uni- versities today—men who will rise up and preach the doctrine of truth and democracy. People who work all day, people who will not leave their homes to at- tend a lecture course, who tire in reading printed word, will listen they have to do radio. There are millions of nears for him to te thea the ever-hun- well has ¢ done the job.

But if we in Ontario have to con- tinue to burn soft coal some change tn our domestic heating arranke- ments must take place. Some contriv- ance or mechanical alteration is re- quired whereby the ordinary furnace will do its duty without Smoking out the residents. People will not object a great deal if the smoke gets ont- side and spoils the color of the snew- drifts or the washing hung inthe next yard. Those who are sufferers in homes —— like roundhouses can few greater benefits than such invention. In the meantime there are plenty of householders, with a couple of weeks’ soft coal experience in hard coal furnaces, who state with uncom- mon emphasis that they will never, never go through it again; that they will freeze first; that they will go in- to apartments; that they will go south, and so on..

SHOULD DOCTORS ADVERTISE? (London Advertiser) How is a young doctor going to get established in a community? Is to put up his sign and wait, or is it right for him to advertise? Perhaps he can join all the lodges and clubs and get known in this way, although it would not establish his profes- sional worth unless he got a number of patients frpm the lodge member- ship. The Advertiser discussed the mat- ter with several London doctors, and there are different opinions, but a general agreement on the principle of doing things in a professional way. For instance, if a dector were to come to London to-day, with apecis? training for a’ particular class work, his proper method of corting a start would be to work in conjunc- tion with the other medical men of London, who would, if they were satisfied with his credentials, *refer cases to him that needed the expert care he was capable of This might serve the case of a man who had ability of such an out- standing nature that it would im- press itself on the men of the pro- fession, already established here, but it would hardly fill the bill for the younger practitioner who was just getting his start. It is well to remem- ber, too, that even the best of them had to get their start some place and by some mean ’ There must be a commercial side to the medical profession. We know the sincere practitioner resents this {dea; he prefers to have his wortb — by men and women who has treated successfully. Certain- i this is the finest form of publicity, but could we not suggest that even here the doctor falls back on the old business slogan that ‘a satisfied customer is our best advertisement?”’ people who are thirsty’ for knowledge whom we could not | reach by the old methods. ne does not like to throw water on such enthusiasm, but i doubtful whether the radio will * ke anything like as much as the arts of printing and bookmaking to dissem- inate thought. The imagination is captured by the radio because it is new as well as wenderful. But sup- pose the order of invention were re- versed and printing were the novel- ty, it would be easy to convince the people of the vast superiority of the printed word to that carried through the air. The book or paper can taken up and daid down at the read- er's convenience. If there is any pas- sage he does not understand he can read it again or ask someone else for an explanation. If there are refer- ences to persons or places that are unknown to him he can consult en- cyclopedias and other words of ref- érence. If he forgets what he has read he can read again But these advantages ere so old and familiar that they excite no won- der. The radio doés appeal to the sense of wonder, and so it may stim- ulate interest in the message . itself as well as in-the method of nari “pel it. In that way the radio ean educational influence. But it is vital that there should be a mes- sage worth sending. SOFT COAL WORRIES . Toronto Globe) The odor of soft coal fumes per- the homes of the people.

This remark did not have any specific reference, but was made as having a broad application, mand as{ something not entirely fair to the profession nor to the genera! public. Doctors, of course, at the matter of publicity through the eyes of the profession, and they feel there are traditions to be maintained, and a certain amount of such mainten- ance falls on each professional head. But it is a fact that there is a co mercial side to the question. A doc- tor has his ability, his schooling and his experience to sell; the extent to which these things are sold is the measure of his chance to demon- strate his worth. In any city there is a large transient population, there are newcomers who know nothing of any of the doctors. To this ney large class advertising by a doc- tor is a matter of service. ere is a danger that of, our very best practitioners becom rather ultra-professional in their af- titude toward letting the public knot, the nature of their business. some “ —— br ee se Wh ae Dt Oe SB Oe OO Oe ee De Me We OA Fe * . / ¢ + AMATTER OF DOLLAKS + + AND CENTS if 8 & f + Pelt edet- | (Owen Sound Sun/Times) “Buy it by.
