EDITORIAL NOTES
Premier Asquith said the other day
that one of the things the British nation
must have in the present crisis is a
proper perspective. The trouble with
those who are whispering now, and who
are crying that we are going to be de-
feated, is that they lack this proper
perspective. Nothing is truer of the
present situation than that which
Right Hon. C. F. G. Masterman says in
a recent article in The London Chronicle:
"The observer who wishes the truth
should keep his attention rather on
casualties than on territories. Germany
can be destroyed equally in the heart of
Russia, beyond Belgrade, or within the
boundaries of France. So long as the
daily toil of death and wounds goes on,
so long we are every day nearer the
inevitable end."—Ottawa Free Press.
Patronage, middlemen, high prices
and sub -contracting reigned supreme
in the early days under direct Govern-
ment purchasing, as the disclosures
before the Public Accounts Committee
and the Davidson Commission establish.
And now the purchasing of shells and
munitions in Canada has been taken
,out of the hands of the Canadian
authorities and "placed under the direct
authority and control of the British
Ministry of Munitions." It would seem
that purchasing under the Dominion
Governmeit auspices is inseparable
from profiteering. — Winnipeg Free
Press.

MR. ROWELi. ON THE WAR.
CANADA'S LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY
Mr. Rowell's speaking engagements
on the war within the last week include
an address delivered at a complimentary
dinner tendered hive by the Montreal
Reform Club and one given to the
Young People's Society of Shear Hash-
omayim of Montreal, a recruiting meet-
ing at Windsor in connection with the
formation of an Essex Ooanby Batta-
lion, and an address in London before
the Older Boys' Conference.
The Montreal Herald described Mr.
Rowell s speech before the Montreal
Reform Club as a "recruiting speech
which should find its place into every
Canadian home."
At Windsor Mr. Rowell addressed an
audience composed of Canadians of
both French and English origin from
the County of Essex and made an appeal
to all Canadians, irrespective of racial
origin, and on",Are grounds of their com-
mon Canadian citizenship to join the
colors.
"Our gallant Canadian sons," he
said, "of both British and French
origin, have on the plains of Europe,
fighting in a common cause, sealed with
their blood a covenant which should
bind together the two great races in
Canada."
Mr. Rowell said that the people of
Canada would n:. t permit any small
nationalist movement here, whether
represented outside the government or
inside the government, as Mr. Lavergne
suggests, to deter, them from doing
their duty as Canadian citizens in this
supreme hour, and the people of Canada
of both British and French origin would
unite as Britons and Boers in South
Africa had united to fight for the com-
mon cause of liberty and justice.
At London Mr. Rowell expressed the
hope that representatives of India
should be asked to meet with the
Imperial Conference this year in a war
se 'sion. He thought that such an in-
vitation to India would stir the imadina-
In competing for the markets of the
world there is no branch of industry
that exceeds in importance that of live
stock breeding and raising. Paraphras-
ing the old Jingo cry, "we have the
land, we have the will and we have the
climate." What is needed is the means,
and ever more means, and simultaneous-
ly the ways of marketing. However
divergent in views and theories people
,may be, it cannot be denied that they
are all united in a common effort to
improve both agricultural and industrial
conditions. In helping the one the
other is being aided. The interests are
inextricably involved. If either is
especially prosperous both ultimately
must be, although one may feel the
benefits of extra demand and high
prices before the other.
In the past few years especially, all
the provinoial governments as well as
the Federal government have bent
much of their energies towards the im-
provement and extension of agriculture.
While a deal of scientific effort has been
devoted to the cultivation of the land
and improvement of productions of the
soil. sight has not been lost of the needs
and necessities of that other branch of
inestimable worth—live stock, meaning
thereby horses, cattle, sheep and swine.
In the latter' direction pure bred.
animals have recently been placed in
various districts where their services
were previously difficult to obtain, the
registration of pedigrees has been
nationalized, systematized and subsidiz-
ed, grants towards greatly liberalizing
the premiums at exhibitions have been
made, a special branch has been
established in connection with the Ex-
perimental Farm system at Ottawa to
investigate the cause of disease, to give
counsel, to breeders and to control out-
breaks of infectious or contagious ail-
ments, judges and lecturers have been
appointed free of cost, cold storage
faci;ities have been arranged and re-
frigerator cars equipped and paid for,

ALLIES OR ENEMIES.
There Were No Neutral Nations in
Europe in Ancient Times.
In ancient times notions at war elasa.
ed their neighbor's as Otter nlitez, Or
enemies, writes Herbert W. Bowen,
Neutrality as au international relation
was not recognized, There were no
neutral rights and no neutral duties.
International law itself existed only in
a very rudimentary form.
It was not until' after the fall of
Rome and until the nations of Eu-
rope had become numerous and were
asserting and exercising comparatively
equal prevention and power that their
interests became, so conflicting that
they'peroeived the necessity of estab-
lishing and supporting a system of law
that must be applicable to them in
their relations one with another. Gro-
tius (1583-1645), the so called fattier of
international law, published in 1025 his
famous book, "De Jure Belli et Paces,"
which defined and described the laws
of war and peace. Of neutrals, whom
he called middlemen .in war, he hid
but little to say.
Bynkershoek, who was born twenty-
five years after the peace of West-
phalia was signed and wino was one of
the most distinguished successors of
Grotius, was, if not the first, at least
among the first o -Y publicists to define
and explain neutrality authoritatively
and to give to it a permanent ..Ind•
prominent place in the law of nations.
—Case and Comment.
Important and valuable as are and
have been the efforts above enumerat-
ed in the interests of live stock breed-
ing the devotion of the Federal depart-
ment and the Provincial departments
has been by no means limited to them.
In fact as far as present human ken
can travel little has beets left undone.
But one of the greatest lines of endeav-
or has yet to be mentioned, namely the
improvement of marketing and trans-
portation facilities. While this object
has never been lost sight of, constant
attention having been bestowed upon
it in various ways, it remained for the
present Dominion Minister of Agri.ul-
ture to take the matter boldly into his
own hands and, with the assistance of
a capable staff, to devise a policy calcu-
late 1 to lead to definite, distinct and
permanent advancement. Without in- f
quiry and investigation nothing can 'be
methodically and satisfactorily accom-
plished. With this principle in view a
marketing co:nmission was appointed,
the duties of which were to ascertain
advantageous points of sale and to ef-
fect and bring about the most conven-
ient and ecomical arrangements for dis- !
posal, shipment and carriage to des-
tination. It was in following this policy
negotiations were carried on for the
purchase by the British government of
six and a half million pounds of meat i
anned in Canada.

A Surprise For Sardou at an Execu-

''Sardou in oder to be present at the
execution of Tropman in.January, 1875,
spent the night before with • L• a Ro-
quette, the prison director. In his de-
scription he says:
"At daybreak ,the guests went out
upon the cold. bleak execution place,
where the guillotine bad already been
erected. The bedraggled crowd, which
had spent the night in drinking places,
sang ribald songs and from time to
time shouted- for Deibler, the execu-
tioner, who meanwhile was explaining
the mechanism.
"The basket in which the head was
to drop was larought, and while looking
at it I was horrified to see the lid arise
and ti huu an form emerge. 'Don't
worry,' said Deibler with'a smile; 'that
is only my wife. who wanted to see
the execution, and I- chose the simplest
way to secure a good place for her.'r"

The Caspian Son.
The Caspian sea le as Ilerodotus said
2,000 years ago, "a sea by irtself, having
no connection with any ether." Every
schoolboy knows that now, but it is
remarkable to find Herodotus saying
so, because centuries after his time
such authorities as Strabo and Pliny
believed that it was connected with
the northern ocean by a long 'and nar-
row gulf. Geography seems to have
had a setback in the interval. through
false information received at the time
of Alexander's conquests. Herodotus
says that the Caspian's length was
fifteen days' voyage with a rowboat,
its breadth eight days'. Since the
actual figures are 750 miles and 400,
this shows that a rowboat of the time
did fifty miles a day.—London Graphic.
HOW TO IURk B kU1A ► tsM
The Disease is ill the Blood
and Must Be Treated
Through the Blood
There are almost as many ways of
treating rheumatism as there are doc-
tors. Most of these treatments are
directed at the symptoms and are con-
sidered successful if they relieve the
pain and the sickness. But the pain
and, the stiffness return particularly if
the patient has been exposed to damp-
ness. This shows that the poison was.
not driven from the system by the
treatment employed. Rheumatism can
be relieved in a number of ways, but
there isonly gne way to cure it, and
that is through the blood, expelling
the poisonous acid that causes the
aches, and pains and stiffness. To re-
new and enrich the blood there is no
medicine can equal Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills which go right to the root of the
trouble and cure rheumatism to stay
cured. The following is an example of
what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can do in
cases of this kind. Mr. Henry Smith,
St. Jerome, Que., says;—"For upwards
of a year I was a victim of rheumatism
in a most painful form. The trouble
was located in my legs and for a long
time was so bad that I could not walk,
The suffering which I endured can only
be imagined by those who have been
similarly afflicted. Doctors' treatment
did not help me and then I began trying
other remedies but with no better
results. Finally I was advised to try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and although
I had begun to lose faith in medicine,
d finally deciel d to give the pills a trial.
I am very graleful now that I did so,
for after taking eight boxes of the
pills the tnoubia completely disappear-
ed, I am very grateful now that I did
so, for after taking eight boxes of the
pills the trouble completely disappear-
ed, I was free from pain and could walk
as well as ever I did in my life, I have
since taken. the pills occasionally as a
precautionary measure and I cannot
speak too highly in their.tfavor.

Irony of Fate.
Divorce, as well as marriage, has its
little ironies.
A society woman, who has just in-
stituted proceedings for release from
the double yoke, was discussing her
case with a friend.
"I don't think I know this lawyer
who is going to represent you," ob-
served the visitor, running over the
name in her mind.
"Oh, you must knew him," returned
the hostess with animation. "Don't
you remember the good looking fellow
who sang 'Oh, Perfect Love,' at my
wedding?"—Lippineott's.
PAYING RENT.
For seven years, in discontent, I
leased a humble cot; it kept me busy
paying rent—it also kept, me hot.
Each month for seven weary years, I
coughed up twenty bones, I handed the
coin wilth tears, and deep, heartrending
groans. Wee landlord lived in princely
state and when I went to him, and
said, "Old scout, the garden gate is
badly out of trim; the dog -gone roof)
in the rain, lets each window has a
ir
broken pane, the doors will riot stay
shut," he answered me, "The times are
had, and growing worse, I trow; I
simply cannot spare a scad . to fix that
cabin now," At last I bought a lowly
.shack, that, measured two by four, with
rainpipes running up the back, a latch
string to each door. Now if the roof
is sagging down, or holes are in the
stairs, I chase no landlord through the
town, beseeching for repairs. I take
my jimmy and my ax, my shotgun and
my spade, and plug the holes and fix
the cracks, without a landlord's aid.
And there's a pleasure simply great, a
sacred sort of glee, in working round
your own estate. however small it be.
—Walt Mason.
Why She Hurrahed.
During the last G. A. R. encampment
there was one woman amid the crowd
of spectators on the day of the parade
who made herself conspicuous by her
noisy hurrahs and excited waving of a
flag as the old veterans marched past.
One of the bystanders told her sharply
to shut up.
"Shut up yourself 1" she .retorted. "If
you bad buried two husbands who had
served in the war yea would be hur-
rahing too."—Ilvetybody's.
