HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1928-5-2, Page 4WEDNESDAY, MAY 24 1928 ,ctbe igUstis i W1 DNPSDAY, MAY 2nd, 1928 THIS Supremo Court of Canada has decided that .women are not eligible to sit in the Senate, Thus a weighty question is settled for a time at least. It is not very likely, though, that men, wixo are In com- plete control of politics despite the large women's vote, would beany- thing but reluctant to giv esueh poli- tical plums as Senate appointments to the opposite sex. Indeed the ex- tension of the suffrage to women has not made very much difference in politics, although it may have im- proved political manners to some ex- tent, Certainly there is not so much mud throwing nowadays as was the case before women's suffrage. • ANNOUNCEMENTthat fares on on the first trans-At- lanticflight of the 11-100, passenger air liner, will be not less than $5,000 each doesn't seem much of a threat to the established means of ocean travel. No doubt there will be suf- ficient persons with $5,000 and a taste for adventure to load the R-100 on the first voyage, thus showing very substantial earnings indeed right at the start. Tns future of trans-Atlantic flying seems to be with the lighter -than -air craft and doubt we may confidently expect to see regular schedules of air service tie and from Europe, with rates not beyond the reach of the business man to whom time is money. INDIA has half a million or more cases of 'leprosy, it appears, truly a terrible number of victims of one of mankind's most loathsome ills. But modern science has found a remedy, sodium hydnocarpate, which can be administered at a cost of 50 cents a year for each patient, and which is said to be positively success- ful in curing leprosy in its earlier stages. Leprosy is a chronic disease, slowing eating away at its victim, who may live to old age in this con- dition and infect others, particularly in tropical overcrowded countries where sanitation is little considered. Every now and then a case crops up in Canada and is immediately on dis- covery removed from contact with healthy people. THE EDITOR of The Post was in- deed sorry to learn Saturday evening of the death of Joseph Car- lin, an old and Valued member of the Stratford Deacon -Herald. We first knew Joe. as he was called, when he was pressman for the Herald, away back in 1900 when we were attend- ing school there, and the intervening years, we have always had a chat and handshake on our visits to the Classic City. Heart trouble was the cause of his late illness. The deceased man was a member of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic church, of Kilroy Council No. 1431 Knights of Columbus, and the Holy Name Society of St. Jos- eph's. Burial was made at St. Col- umbia, his birthplace. The relatives have our sympathy in their nercave- ment. R. WOODSWORTH, the incle- ILVA fatigable Labor M. P. from Win- nipeg, has thrown a monkey wren,h into the machinery at Ottawa by carrying out his threat to hold up divorce bills, which ordinarly go through the Commons holus bolus, by moving amendments to them, forcing indteeidual treatment of each bill. His purpose is to force the govermnent to have ,the bill to establish divorce courts in Ontario dealt with this ses- cion, and it will be interesting to see whether he succeeds.

Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease, v • . rirSHE Prayer Book of the Church of England is still a cause .of co J- siderable dissension, .,ertain groups in the church opposing the various revisions which have been made re- cently. Some Months ago a revi . a prayer book was taken before the House of Commons in England and defeated, largely by a non -Anglican vote. Attention was called by quite a -number of churchmen to the an- omaly of Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists and others having a share in governing the destiny of the Ails liven Church against the wishes of its own duly elected authorities. Talk of disestablishing the church became fairly common and several noted clergymen and laymen favor it. They point to the Irish and Welsh churches. which since dis- establishment, has made great pro- gress. Before long the Commons will again consider a revision of the Prayer Book. Should it not be pass- ed the day of disestablishment, in the opinion of mazy, will draw much nearer. IN Russia, Bolshevism has shown a decided lack of sympathy toward the Christian church and while suffer ing it to exist, more or less discour- ages adherence to the faith by ridi- cule and quasi -scientific criticism. It is an epoc of unbelief in Russia. In the place of the god of their fathers the new athiests have enthroned Demos, the god of dernoa nv. But, according to reports, tney have not even kept the faith with him. Cap- italism, bureauraccy, and other taints have crept into the ideal state erected by Lenin and Trotsky. Since earliest times mankind has had some sort of god.When man chose to follow a moral god, civilization developed. Now Russia is attempting to reverse the trend of the times. She has erected an unmoral; impersonal, ab- stract god. Keenminded political ob- servers, holding no brief for Christ- ianity per se, express the opinion than in their attitude toward the re- ligion of the Nazarene the Soviets have made a grave tactical blunder and have prejudiced the future of their cause. • Will.

MacMillan, Sup- erintendent of Belleville Division af- ter 52 years of continuous service, now with the C.N.R. and he is suc- ceeded by George A. Stokes, who was a former agent at Wingham..

Hays, V•D., ie rotired and is granted rank of Lieut -Col. under the provisions of K. R., Canada 194 (2), on retirement." The promotion is a well deserved one, as Col. Hays enlisted with the 38rd Battalion as a private, and has filled all the non- commission and commissioned offices up to his present rank. He was also one of the organizers of the Huron Battalion which was trained and went overseas during the war. Many friends at home and abroad will join in hearty congratulations. I Lieut -'Col.

FIVE HUNDRED COAL MININ CANADA More coal was mined in Canada during 1927 than in any previous year, according to a preliminary re- port on the coal trade of Canada in 1927 recently issued by the Canad- ian Government Bureau of Statistics at Ottawa, Figures for 1927 show a total coal output from Canadian mines of J7,411,505 tons, as against 16,478,- 131 produced in 1926. There are about 500 coal mines in operation in Canada, representing a capital in- vestment of about $150,000,000. Exports of Canadian coal during the year amounted to 1,113,330 tons, compared with 1.028,200 toms in 1926. Imports reached 19,253,- 088 tons, including 18,314,248 tons from the United States, 928,544 tons I froth Great Britain, 4,818 tons from Germany, 5,165 tons from the Netherlands, and 323 tons from Japan. By kinds of coal the import records showed 3,719.326 tons of an thraeite in egg and nut sizes 344,293 tuns of anthracite <lust, 15,178,640 tons of bituminous coal, and 10,829 tons of lignite. Canada's consumption of coal for industrial purposes was greater by two million tons in 1927 than in 1926, thus refecting in some mea - 1 sure the advance in factory, mine and mill outputs that tools place dur- ing the year. The apparent consump- tion of coal in Canada during 1927, obtained by adding production and imports and deducting exports, hag been computed at 35,551,263 tons, compared with 38,506,076 tons in 3926. ..rt, raoMlig ehait'r, writing desk, combination writog Molt and book core, 2 living room rug+, bedroom suite, bed innttre-s and spring., bureau 2 wardrob- es, dishes toed kitcltrn utensils, kitchen nab - !not, cupboard, kitchen range Slimmer coal oil stove, 2 cool heaters, chole pictures, aro,, lawn mower, wheelbarrow, grindstone, 'Mord touring era. auto rues, cot. carpen'e, s toot, ladder, garden tools, Hower stand, sealers end other articles too numerous to mention, Teams -''nee.
