EDITORIAL NOTES
A
No doubt Bourassa is enjoying him- i Art
self thoroughly. He is the only Cana- rel,
dian publicist who is in the present 7A
crisis is frankly anti-British, and the A
fact makes him conspicuous and feeds A
ihis vanity. Attacks upon him bv the A
Ontario press are eagerly weleomed by r"
him because they go to show that he is
a shining mark—a force to be reckoned
with. And that is what Henri is deter-
mined to be—a force to be reckoned
with, whether a force for evil or for good
does not concern him much. The hell
that he dreads is obscurity. If hewere
ignored for a while, he might in his
desperaticn be driven to some utterance
r act that would put him within the
ale of the law. Doubtless he would
ether be in jail than in political oblivion.
—Hamilton Herald.
Canada's war expenditure is expect-
ed to exceed $100,000,000 a year, within
a short t,ime. In fact today a million
dollars is going out every four days to
pay for Canada's military and naval aid
to the Motherland. The amount will
be greater before it is less.
Statistics of Canadian trade for
August., September and October, the
first three months of the war, show
that the imports of merchandise have
fallen off nearly thirty per cent„ and
exports of Canadian products by about
sixteen per cent, as compared with the
corresponding three months of last

The imports for the three months of
this year totalled $116,071,955, as com-
pared with $164,663,971 for August,
September and October of last year,
a deerease of $48,592,016. Exports of
Canadian products for the three totalled
$109,100,767, as compared with $128,-
368,662 for the corresponding period of
last year, a decrease of $19,177,895.
The total decrease in trade during the
first three months of the war, exclusive
of con and bullion and exports of
foreign produce, has been nearly
seventy million dollars. For October
alone the trade and commerce figures,
as just published, show a falling off of
about $17,000,000 in imports and $12,
000,000 in exports. The exports of
agricultural produce for the month
totalled only $17,953.959, as compared
with $32,292,720 in October of last year.
Both British aristocracy and British
democracy are on trial in this war,
The casualty lists bear witness to the
courage and devotion of British officers.
Many distinguished families have al-
ready been put in mourning, as, what -
per else may be the shortcomings of
British aristocrats, they do not shrink
from the perils of command. When
peace comes we may see mutual
respect and consideration engendered
by war experiences, governing the re-
lations of the aristocracy and the
democracy, for be it remembered that
the British aristocrat is not brutal and
the British democrat's democracy is
ordinarily not of the militant type.—
Boston Transcript
An Ottawa dispatch to the Toronto
Star says : —The latest political gossip
is that the Government is quietly laying
plans for a federal election early in the
spring. From present intentions, so
far as the Government is concerned, a
short session will be held starting in
January, and the election will take
place probably at the end of February.
Already preparations are going for-
ward for the contest. The city from
day to day is full of Conservative
members and candidates who are con-
tinually in conference with those mem-
bers of the Government to whom are
entrusted the task of organizing and
winning elections.
Campaign literature is being as-
siduously prepared at the Government
bureau, and a tactfully prepared
phamphlet purporting to answer the
question. "Why Three Dreadnoughts,"
has already been extensively circulated.
In addition orders have been given for
the preparation of cartoons calculated
to appeal to the electorate on behalf of
the Government. Organization pre-
parations are also going forward at
various centres.

CONSISTENCY.
To the Editor :—
"Consistency thou art a Jewell."
We have very strict laws regulating
the sale of morphine, cocaine, opium
and other poisonous drugs and prohibit-
ing their use only under special con-
ditions. That is very wise but why
license and encoarage the sale of al-
coholic beverages that do infiinitely
more harm than all the others put to-
gether?
The deaths from drink, in the United
States have been estimated to be ten
.per cent of the total. If we estimate
ours at even one half of that it gives us
over five thousand deaths every year
from drink. Physicians generally ad-
mit that that figure -is much too low but
suppose that only five hundred or even
one hundred lose their lives through
drink is it not criminal to allow this
slaughter to go on?
Look at the trouble and expense we
take over one cast of smallpox yet here
is something that is a thousand times
worse than smallpox allowed to ie sold
freely and one man allowed to urge and
even force another to partuke of it.
Hard times are ahead of us and yet
two millions of dollars are spent every
year over the bars of a small city for
that does more harm than opium,
cocaine, war and pestilence all put to-
gether.
War is terrible but the Outlook, one
of the highest class journals in the
United States, in speaking of Russia
having prohibited the manufacture and
sale of intoxicants, said that "Russia
has already conquered a worse enemy
than Germany."
When will people learn the dreadful
fact that beer and whiskey are our
greateit enemy, debauching and des-
troying the vitality of the race so that
half of our young men are not able to
pass the medical examination for ser-
vice in the army?

No business man, professional man
or manufacturer in any town should
allow a newspaper published in his
town to go without his name and
business being mentioned somewhere
in its columns, says an exchange.
This applies to all kinds of business—
general stores, dry goods, groceries,
furniture dealers, manufacturing es-
tablishments, automobile dealers,
mechanics, professional men and in
fact all kinds of business. This does
not mean that you should have a whole
or half or even a quarter of a page ad.
in every issue of the- paper,'but your
name and business should be mention-
ed, if you do not use more than a two
line space. A stranger picking up a
newspaper should be able to tell just
what business is represented in a town
by looking at the business mentioned
in the paper.- This is the best possible
town advertiser. The man who does
not advertise his business does an in-
justice to himself and his town. He is
the man who expects the most free
boosting for his town. The man who
insists on sharing the business that
comes to a town but refuses to adver-
tise his business is nota valuable • ad-
dition fo any town. The life of any
town depends upon the live, wide-
awake and liberal advertising business -
mei.
