WELL DONE, PREMIER HEPBURN!
We don’t always agree with Premier Hepburn, but we were
with him one hundred per cent in his New York speech, in his dig
nified, forthright, telling of the truth and the facing -up to the facts
of the present hour,
♦ * * * * * «■
Said Premier Hepburn the other day, "The strikes in Canada-
are not being handled” Someone may reply, “All is being done that
the government can do in thfe situation.” Very good. In that case
let the politicians who cannot handle the strike situation get out
of the way of men who can. In these awful days there is a demand
that the tools of government should be in the hands of those who,
can, and who do use them. , •/ # . ¥ * * * •*
THOSE BLANjKETS
Germany is expecting a winter campaign in Russia. With
characteristic thoroughness and heartlessness she is demanding
that the conquered countries supply her soldiers with every wool-<>
len blanket in their possession. The sick, the infirm, the aged, all
fare to givewup every blanket under the pain of a thrust from, a
bayonet or a bullet or a skull crushed by a rifle butt, The action
in regard rto the blankets is but typical. Utter ruthlessness is the,
German method. They do not fear God nor do they regard man.
But their day is coming.!

u.. ■ «
More and more the authorities are seeing that for men to
stand up in the present war, they must not only be physically fit
'but mentally, competent and morally . sound. The soldier who en
lists in the spirit of adventure, mainly, is a menace to his country.
If lie has not the mentality that will take in the niceties of drill
and discipline, he endangers the life of his comrades and proves
a channel by which tile enemy overruns the land he is supposed
to defend. If he is not morally sound he is likely to become the
prey of. Society’s poisoners and to become an invalid when he
should tie marching to victory. It used to be that When a man was
unfit for anything else he could join the army. That.sort of thing
no longer obtains. The physically corrupt, the mentally below
par, and .the morally Unsound are not wanted dnywhere.

This is weekly newspaper week. We hardly .know’ wfiat to do
about it. Some wise person has said, "Let another praise thee and
not thine own lips,” Of course that was said long before The Exeter
Times-Advocate was in existence. For that I'eason we do not take
the wise laying as binding upon us. On the other hand, a wise and
very great man has said, "He that tooteth not his own horn, his
horn shall not be tooted." All we have to say in this connection is
that our friends treat us so kindly we do not need4o say a ward in
our own behalf. We have been reading what another of the in*
formed said about his own work, "I magnify my office." What he
meant was that he did not lie down on his job, a job he considered1
to be worthwhile and of which he was in no sense ashamed. Like
him, we are not ashamed to tell what we are trying to do, though
like this great man, we may be regarded as the chief of newspaper
sinners, and that is saying a good deal, as all newspaper men know,
Consider, patient reader, what we do for you, We welcome
you when you come into this puzzling world in a state of utter
helplessness a-begging even for raiment. When parents have you
baptised we record that event telling all we dare mention about
your raiment and your name so proudly announced apd so bravely
borne. When you sing your first solo at the Christmas tree we men
tion that effect with every becoming embellishment we can muster.
We record your marks all the way through school but rarely say
anything about the well deserved thrashings administered by a mus
cular but amiable teacher. When you pass the entrance we get out
our best type to make known that fact to the world. When you
"Matric" we print your name in full and print all about the honours;
you win. When you graduate we sing your praises and if finances
warrant, publish ypur picture. When you hang out your shingle,
we’re there to wish you well. When you marry, oh, well we fall
for just everything in the way of making that world-shaking fact
known to a wondering race, When you die, we’re genuinely sorry,
provided your subscription has been ftilly paid to date, and we say
the best word we can of your adventures and your achievements.
From your start to your finish in this world we’re your friend,
Should your dog, even, go back on you, we will stick it out for you,
no matter hqpv hard the job may be. So bear with us. We may be
doing a poor job of it, but we’re doing our—oh well! you know
what we mean and we’ll do better if you will give us a little taffy.
We'll work hard at getting you, should you need it, some real
epitaphy.

We resented that windstorm that came out way last Thurs
day, but we did very little about it except do all we could to pro
tect ourselves against its ravages. We dodged falling limbs from
trees. We moaned as we saw our best shade trees stripped of the
fine branches. Madam looked unhappy as she saw her finest pears
hurled prematurely to the ground. We resented the breaking of
Windows by flying limbs of trees. We hustled to get the old kiitch-
en range agoing as the hydro Was interfered with by broken.poles
and trees thrown across the wires. We were disappointed when
central did not anS'Wer our telephone call, We set a guard on our
■ lips as. we tripped over obstructions the Wind- threw over our walking ’
space. We heard with regret of farmers whose barn roofs were
hurled to destruction. We pitied the farmers whose orchards were
made a mass of tangled debris. We could but look on with regret
as splendid Woodlots were reduced to ruin, All this may have been
madcap fun for the wind, but it was serious loss for the whole coun

The first time they left It aldne in

the animal was again punished.
