While here he made things uncomfortable for almost every oil’icial in town. This Act is not respected by the general public. and the fact that these "trailers" are sent around to collect a tax for conducting ball games in Memorial Park is every bit as ridiculous as it is unpopular. Nor is the enforcement or the Act conducted on a fair basis. Only where it is known entertainments are being held do these collectors swoop down for their prey. Num- erous places where entertainments are held no tax has ever been paid. â€"-l)undall{ Herald.

The Mirror thinks it would be a mistake. not that we believe the appointment of a Canadian would loosen one bit the bond be- tween Great Britain and the Em- pire but we do believe that the ap- pointment of an eminent old coun- try man as representative of his majesty is a touch that helps un- derstanding in both countries. â€"...l Frankly it adds more tone and dignity than the appointment of a native Canadian. however emin- ent. could do. Since Canada ob. tained responsible government. all of her Governors General have been able men and all went. back to Britain with an understanding of Canada that has stood the Dominion in good stead in Empire councils. Among our best friends in Britain are those who spent the governor's term in Canada. The system has worked out well and we don't be- lieve there is any serious idea to change it. ‘. Most of these constitutional ques- tions arise from the theorizing of journalists and writers who have not anything else to write about. lt is a strange thing that men who live continuously in Ottawa with their heads in the clouds of higher guilitical theory know so little about actual Canadian public senti- ment. There is absolutely no de- sire for a change and nobody ever thought 01' it until the high brow political theorists got what they mehably regard as. r. brilliant idea. â€".\leaforul Mirror.

Mothers Object to Bxhortion Since the celebration of Mother‘s Day on May 13th. Saturday Night has heard some tart criticism from mothers who object to being ex-‘i ploited commercially in the sacred name of filial devotion. The sug- gestion of a day set apart to honor mother came. we believe, from a Miss Ann-a Jarvis of Phila- delphia. Her intention. like those who helped to put. over her idea in Canada. was of the best. There has long; been a rumor that the florists had something to do with the movement. and the phrase "Say it With Flowers" came to be associat- ed with the occasion. It was natural that florists should wel- come a stimulus to trade in the ,month of May when the dull season in their line of business is com- I~ ' ’. If“, 'V 3 "I, 1 )3. //3'$‘ 2:. To-L mencing, but those who from senti- ment sponsored the movement at its inception, had no idea that Mother’s Day would be made an excuse for doubling the price of flowers and thus reaping an exhorâ€" bitant profit. from the beautiful sen- timent that the name arouses. The result of these exactions was that this year a good many mothers suggested to their daughters and sons that if they wished to give them flowers they should wait for a day or two instead of paying double prices. On the other hand merchants selling gloves, candies, toilet articles and other gift com- modities suited to the occasion, did not raise their prices and indeed reaped an advantage by offering special prices for Mother's Day. It is quite clear that unless a more far-sighted policy is adopted, the florists are likely to lose the mar- ket that was created through the :ingenious slogan: “Say It With ; F lowers".â€"Toront0 Saturday Night.
