RACIAL FIGHT

A despatch from Tulsa, Okla,
says::-Maitial law prevailed in 'bul-

with order restored under the grim
threat of fods- contioanibe of war -

of.. desperate race rioting had destroy-

The city, blood -drenched and black

Uniteriity Standards.
E.ntance requirements in several
Faculties of the Provincial University
have recently been raised and an
nouncement is made that, in some
cases a still further increase will soon
occur. Intelligently considered, this
action is seen to be unquestionably in
the best interests of the parents of
the youth of Ontario. .
To sotudy for an additional year in
the local collegiate. institute or high
school before beginning a university
course is not a hardship to any boy or
girl. Quite the contrary. It meano an-
other year at home under parental
care and influence; it means also a
saving in money.
- Suedess in a university course
_depends very largely upon to condi-
c tions, viz., a good educational founda-
e tion which enables one to grasp read -
d ily what is taught and a maturity and
e stability of character which prompts
one to study diligently even when
- aWay from parental oversight. ' The
,attainment of both these necessary
, qualifications is made easier by more
, rigid university entrance require-
) ments.
In raising its standard the Ursiver-
sitY of Toronto is acting solely in the
interests of prospective students and
, their parents is- carrying out its well
known deinocratic policy, and is sing-
.
inenting its ikht to its position as
'the. poor man's college."

I COTTON.
There are few complaints more common
!,ha,n hemorrhoids; commonly called piles,
and scarcely any which cause moire
trouble and misery. -
• Piles• are &wried. into three classes
1.e., itching, protruding and bleeding, and
consist M a fullness of blood and languid
circulation in the portion of the lower
bowel or rectum.
The chief causes of piles are con-
stipafion'straining at stool, and the
using of drastic purgatives. This latter
we -would `very strOngly advise against
as these strong purgatives, especially
those containing calomeland other
mineral drugs are too strong • for the

Prisoners of War.
Probably the first.' feeling most of
us have in reading of the beginning
s
of the trial of Germans for maltreat-
ing war prisoners is one of regret
that the dragnet could not have
brought in some of the more consider-
able offenders instead of such small
fry as non-connnissioned officers.
One of the chief industries in Ger-
many of late has been the production
of alibis. 'The men who did the things
that\ outraged the civilized eonscience
in the war are now anxious to keep
mum and lie hid. They- are eager DO
let the dea,d past lie buried. When they
perpetrated -the cruelties upon their
prisoners they laughed at any threat
of punishment in days to come. Verily,
the tribunal the t. noiw' sits 'upon their
deeds has taken a long, tinie to as-
semble. It is true that time has cooled
passion and. made a truer perspective
possible. It is also true that the per-
iod that has elapsed has enabled many
culprits to evade a proper penalty.

unobserved conditions which still are
crying to man's restleso spirit that
earth has many wonace stones yo.t
untold. Spitzhergen is mare than a
group of icy islands where the birds
in. summer Nene to make their nests
and rear their young. It is (in spite
of Conway and other piono,i's) a terra
incognita whose se.erets to every
, science and to the earnest disciples of
ff 'truth promise a rieb 'compensation Of
- discoveries and furtim-r victories for
the unconquerable haman spirit.
