CRUELTY TO ANIMALS, Because s a dumb animal, there are thess who think nothing of mistreating & eat or & dog, or leaving them without food 1f 1t is more convenlent for them to do so. there can be not one lota of eympathy for the storekeeper who closed up his place of ess early this month and left therein three cats with- sut food or water and who, when the cumstances were related in court, was fiven & fine of $50. The judge had given the alternative of the fine to 50 days in jall and in view of the fact that the cate wers in such a condition that they had to be killed there cannot help being the feeling that the jall sentence was more justified. Nevertheloss it is well to remember I this connection that we are at the tpening of the vacation season, when many families go away for the season o periods of lesser length, and that in meh households there are cats and dogs wiich are going to meed attention while Ve families are absent.

It 4s impossible to regard the assas- don as anything other than a part of the bloodshed and disorder that has been taking place in Ireland. It was the same cowardly demonstration that assassind~ tions invariably are. The fleld marshal had been acting as adviser to the Ulster forces in their efforts to suppress the terrorism that has prevailed there, and even though it was in response to duty as a soldier he was made the objéct of repeated threats. His death fs thus only ‘what has been planned, but by his elimi- nation in this manner it does not ad- vance the interdsts or assure any grea‘- er degree of success for such elements as the assassins represent. It cannot be regarded as «other than most unfortunate that it should have come at this time just after Ireland has indicated by a vote of its peace that it wants peace and the ratification of the treaty with Great Britain, though of course it cannot be otherwise than de- plored that it should have happened at all, It is bound to serve to intensify the fecling in certain localities, but the only benefit that can be seen is the pos- sible hastening of the effort for the end- ing of the terrorism that has served to set back Ireland at least a céntury. Whether it is found that this is but a part of a campaign of assassination of prominent men in Great Britain, it is bound to serve to increase the vigilance exercised for theéir protection, and the riy action looking to the prevention of further outrages should have lts benefl- ial results. It is fortunate that those directly re- sponsible for the death of the field mar- sha] were apprehended. That they will pay the full penalty for their erime can be expected, and withont unwarranted delay, but no time can be lost in Feach- ing any others who may have had a hand in the plot, or who may have been planning to commit similar deeds. Whatever those who committed it may have figured on the murder is bound to react to the detriment of those support- ing disorder in Ireland. TARING CHANCES IN DEEP WATER. How frequently fs it that an automo- bile bathing party is made up of those Who go to some pond or beach for & dip on a warm day! It is happening’ here, there and everywhere almost every day, and yet how often is thers exercised the proper amount of cate in the enjoyment of such pleasure? This week a party of young women was driven to a Long Island pond. dressed for bathing, and as they arrived they rushed out into the water. Whether famillar with the pond or not, one of them quickly got beyond her depth, and it was but a few minutes before she was ng desperately for help. Her fa- ther who had remained in the car herofc- y went to her assistance, but he could not swim and both lost their lives, the other members of the party being unable to swim and therefore could do nothing but frantically wring their hands and cry for help as father and daughter drowned It was a distressing affalr but how often is it repeated! The enthusiasm of getting into the water leads many to disregard safety. Plunging boldly into a pond or the ocean may be well enough for those who can swim, but it is perilous for those who cannot take care of them- Ives in the water when they get be- md their depth, step into a hole or suddenly find themselves plunged into deep water. Such cases emphasize the importance of knowing how to swim, and in all cases to use care when in the water in keep- ing with the individual ability to meet such emergency as might arise. Those who can swim may mot be immune to drowning but they are s much better prepared to protect themselves that every opportunity to learn should be fmproved. Those who cannot swim should not be found taking dangerous chances. EDITORIAL NOTES.

On this point it is enough to say that thé American Deople have néver been in great haste to put a new idéa into thé constitution, but when one is put there it generally stays. ‘Whilé it 1§ doubtless true that many of the prevailing ilis of soolety have very little or no connection with prohibition, on the other hand, thé broad claims of a Tevolution in the direction of better living are not substantiated by tangible evi- dence. Up to date, opinioms have been more abundant than facts. All investi- gators of the subject Who nave approach- ed it with an unblaséd mind have found great difficulty in getting dependable data. But after thé evidénde thus far submitted is carefully weighed, prohibi- tion seems to be slowly winning its case. The manner in which public serviee is dealt out in this country has for many years teoubled thoughtful and patriotic minds, In fact, it has led many to be- lieve that if the present custom continues it will disrupt the republic. England is vastly ahead of this country in the qual- ity of public service rendered, simply be- cause only qualified men are selected. Here oftentimes men dénsely ignorant, and as crooked as théy are ignorant, afe put into positions of responsibility be- cause they have been useful as ward heelers, and this will continue just as long as public service is a shuttlecock between contending partles, and to the “victor belong the spoils.” The Wnglish system doubtless has its faults, but in this direction it is far better than ours. There men are trained for public service, which is just as much of a profession as law, medicine or the ministry. Young men qualify in the universities for this profession; they must pass examinations as they do in ‘mathematics or the lan- guages. When the college life is over they begin at the foot of the ladder, and as they make good in Jower positions they are promoted. This shuts out the {gnora- mus. This Is the season in which most of our churches are holding their Children's day exercises A more beautiful and expres- sive service was never put on the visible or invisible calendar of any church. It is a service which none of them will ever forget, except those who are stifl in their babyhood, and T question 1If their parents Will ever forget it. not even those whose little ones took it into their heads to con- Auct the services themselves. Parents will not forget brinving theiz little treas- ures in thelr arms up the alsle to receive the holy rite of christening. It may be a negative service as far as the bables reaiize It, but it will be far from negative as far as the consclentious parent is con- cerned. They will see their responsibility a1l the more clearly, to ear their chilren 80 that they will be in a position to give valuable service to human soclety, and when they enter active life will be better fitted to strengthen constituted authoeity. Why should the civilized world allow the Turks to exterminate the Armenians? 1 belleve it is one of the greatest sins of omission of which the worM is gullty-to- day. The great crime of the Armenians in the eyes of the Turk which s unpar- donable is that the former dare to be non-Moslem in faith and practice. For political reasons no nation’ of Europe daces to attack this unspeakable foe of mankind. And yet it seems like frony to call him the “sick old man of the Bos- phorus.” He seems to hoid such a mys- terfous balance of power that no nation cares to box his ears and tell him to be- have himself. And so ke goes on in this | quiet and systematic policy of slow ex- termination of one of his richest and most intelligent provinces. One stern word of rebuke from the canny Llovd George, as once came from Admiral Farragut, when the American college in Constantinople was theeatened, would do the trick. Tur- key gives heed to words that are backed up by navies. An advertisement recently appeared in one of our periodicals with this heading: “Credenda et agenda.” Both of these Latin words stand for important eas; former stands for articles of faith, and the latter for programs of work. They are equally Important and ought always to be used in the same connection. Faith and works are the twin sisters of every important undertaking. There is, how- ever, an unfortunate trend in these days to make the “agenda” the more consplcu- ous. The main thing seems to be the doing. It is the hustler rather than the thinker who stands in the limelight It ought, however, to be remembered that there is no great accompilshment apart from careful and intelligent planning. It Is also necessary to have an unshaken faith in the worth of the things we do to urge us on to put forth our oest. Let us keep in mind that it must be “credenda et agenda” is not merely “agenda” if we are to be successful. . ‘What a blessed thing it is for the farmer —and for every other worker, for that matter—that all things come in thelr or- der. Fraits and vegetables come in an orderly procession from early peas to late patatoes. That gives the farmer a chance to deal with first things first, which is an important thing to do. One great trouble In this world comes from doing first things/at any old time, and second things first, or not at ail. Nature makes it pos- sible for the farmer to move along in some sort of arderly fashion. Suppose that all Sprts of vermin settled down upon the cfops all at once, it would be the toughest old “agricultural bloc” that farming ever was up against. Just think of it, cut worms, mildew, rose bugs, squash bugs, potato bugs, lice, blight, dogs, cats, and small boys playing ball in close proximity to your garden. But nature is very kind in stringing these things out so that we can deal with them separately. Everything in its season. SUNDAY MORNING TALK Pleasing Christ Do we thoroughly belleve in a liv- ing, omni-present Christ, who is a real presence to ail His people, very near to each one of them and pleased or displeased with every act? If so, the pleasing of Christ becomes the most important matter that we have. As He did always those things that pleased the Father, so We may and should do always those things that please the Savouir. Our discipleship has no sweeter oy, no higher ambition than this. Things little, as well as big things, may be done unto the Lord in communion with Him and with a spec- ial purpose to win His approbation. Since we owe Him everything per- sonal gratitude should lead 1k to It as indicated actual progress to a|serve Him in everything.

The profect has tiiere never reach- ed the stage of national discussion which it was assuming in the United States: it had neither the local agricultural sup- port nor the sgeressive leadershin which was rapidly bringing the question to the stage of @ major American political issue. To the Canadians, the St Lawrénce Project has always been a water power rather than a navigdtion issue. They have not suffered from raflroad conges- tion as the American Middle West, with the St. Lawrence as the avenue of pros- pective rélief. There are a number of redsons why Oanadians have not warmed up to the navigation phases of the St. Lawrenes waterway plan as they have been ou'lin- ed by American enthusiasts. First of all, it is the general view among experienced Canadian shippers that it would take more than a seaway to cause ocean going vessels to make the trip from Montreal to Duluth or even from Montreal to Chicago. Such a voy- age, the Canadlans belleve, would be economically unprofitable for the simple reason that lake and canal crafe could | haul cargoes between Montreal and lake ports more cheaply thah ocean going ves- sels could haul them. Then, too, it is a general fmpression on the Canadian side of the International border that the cost of the proposed St. Lawrence waterway is still rather an open question. The studles made by Col. Hugh L. Cooper and H. de B. Parsons, American engineers, as well the work done by Arthur Surveyor, vice president of the | Engineering Institute of Canada, which have been quite generally disregarded in the United States, have been taken geri ously on the other side of the line. r.

For many of our earth- 1y friends we seem unable to do much, we are separated from them by dis- tance or by circumstances; they are in no special need of our aid; we can hardly even tell them of our love. But it is ditferent with Christ. He is al- | ways with us, in the person of some |ailing one; He prizes the cup of cold water given to the thirsty one in His Iname. We can go to His bedside in sickness; we can bring Him_ many presents; we can live for Him. No life is so well worth while.

In ad- dition to his prominence as a chair- man Archdeacon Cody has a wide rep- utation in educational circles, having served as a teacher of systematic the- ology in Wryoliffe College and filled | the post of Minister of Education in the OAtario Provincial Government. He is a native of Ontario and was jeducated in its schools and at the University of Toronto, of which insti- tution he later became a senate mem- ber. On all the important boards of his church in the Dominion he has {served with distinction, as well as with many civic organizations.

Hé fizes the fotal at ap- proximately $800,000,000. Col. Cooper and Mr. Parsons both estimate that the total cost will exceed $1,409,000,000. The estimate of the International oint Com- mjssion {s approximately $500,000.000. The price element. however, does not constitute the sole reason why many Can- adlans look with disfavor upon raviga- tion phises of thé St. Lawfence plan. As between the St. Lowrence route from the lakés to Montreal and the Geéorglan Bay route there are many who believe that! the latter would be the more desirable, from Canada.'s pofat of view. H As far as the power end of the project 1s concerned, theré is a different story ! to tell. The Montrea) Herald In a raent editorial gives a clue to Prime Minister King's reluctancs to enter into negotia- tions at this time. The Heral says: “Months aftér Préaident Harding. withe out investigation or adequate informa- tlon on the subjéct, had pronouniced in faver of. the St. Lawrence watefway pro- ject his administration has intimated td Canada that it wishes to open negotia- tlons for the construction of the canal as soon as possible. “Apart from the impossible character of this waterway schéme it should be re- membered we have today much more wa- terpower than we can utilizé. It has beén calculated that between Montreal and Lake St. Francis there is potenttial- ly 2,500,008 horse power but less than 200,000 has been developed. The first three sections of the Propos- ed waterway lie wholly within the Province of Quebeée. The other two seée= tlons comprising what is Known as_the International section, dividing New York state and the Province of Ontarfo. Sixty per cent. of the potential horse power on the St. Lawrence must be dec veloped between Montreal and Lake St. Francie—or in other words developed wholly within Canadian territory. Canada has just begun to develop wa- ter power and is not thoroughly sati- fied with her experience up to date. The advocates of the theory of privatede- velopment doctrine have been clashing rather sharply. Much power in Canada has heen developed under government auspices, The reeoérdas ehow that the ¢ost to the sonsumer of power from the government plants exceeds the cost from the privately owned plants. The Canadian government Is, there- fore, not prepared to cast the die in favor of the government _development principle. Prime Minister King and his colleagues are not eertain that dev opment under international auspices i would be any more efficient than de velopment under auspices purely na- tional. Moreover many of the commer- cial interests in the Province of Québec contend that Canada’s first duty is to develop power on the Canadian section of the St. Lawrence without in any way joining hands with the United States. There Is also an almost unlimited amount of water power that Canada candevelop on her own territory without going to the trouble to negotiate a theary. The power is the determining factor as far as the Canadian govery- ment is concerned. The St. Lawrence seaway has served to impress the in- land sections of the United States, but Canada has not béen stampeded by the propaganda launched in its hehalf. Canada would probably join in the construction of the seaway if by so do- ing it could solve its power difficulties, but it would realize all the time that the seaway was simply a glorified name for a canal which would continue to be cause they are the type of vessel best suited to inland waters. Great Men's Love Letters RICHARD WAGNER TO MINNA Richard Wagnes, who wrote the greatest of music love drama, by a singular doincidence seems to have been very unfortunate in love him- self. While living in Dresden in 1826, when he was only thirteen years of age, he fell in love, he says in his own story of his life, with Amalia Hoffman. This was followed by many other little “brushes” of the heart be- fore he met Wilhelmine Plauer, and married her in Konigsberg on Novem- ber 24, 1836, This was an impromptu marriage, and affected Wagner's life most seriously for almsot twenty-five T | (Il I o s e are con Shat Lydia B Biakham hes done fof ‘women.

He ended another letter shortly af- terward in this playful manner: “Be content with this morsel today, little wife of my heart.

Ever and al- ways. “Thy Faithful Richard.” Wagner parted with Minna in 1861 and she died four years later and in 1870 he was united to Lisatl's daughter, Cosima, who had previously been the wife of Von Bulow. The great Ger- man composer died on February 13, 1853, and his faithful second wife survived him. I Stories That Recall Others The Very Same A precocious, red-haired, freckle-faced boy of six who recently removed with his parents to this city frem New York state was at play near his home the Other day when a neighbor came along. “Tou seem to be enjoying yourselt,” said the neighbor. You bet I am “Jt's a great world we're living in.

Boy Wished to Give Service “1 had a very wholesome lesson taught me by a very young boy when I least ex- pected it,” said a speaker before a boys’ meeting. “He was selling papers and he asked me to buy one. I told him I didn't have time to read his paper, but I offered him the profit he would have obtained from the sale. As soon as I years. was an actress, Richard Pohl says of her: “She was a faithful, self-sacri- ficing wife, who bore with Wagner long and devotedly all cares and pri- wations, in Paris, even to bitterest poverty. But she was a prosaic, do- mestic woman, who never understood her husband, and who might have been an impediment to his far-reach- ing ideas, his high-flying plans, if Richard Wagner could have been im- peded in his course by anything: The natural tning was that they separated —many years later, it is true. Twenty- five years this ill-mated pair lived to- gether and sought to get along. But it is said that Wagner always held the memory of his first wife in great respect, and that he was mo doubt devoted to her is shown in his letter. The following ome was writ- ten to Minna on July 28, 1822, when Wagner had reached Dresden and was busily preparing for the production of his opera “Rienzi.” He had rented a house and was disappointed at her tardiness in arriving: “Best wife of Mine: I was just busi- ed with my moving in yestreday when I received your letter in the new apart- ments.
