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. A feature of
Mr. Wodsworth's amendments is a
-clause which would prevent men

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.

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.
