I have yet to see Government, however, morals which S willing to die for a moral issue. 5 hear a great deal about sacrifice, ev now, but the Government does n include itself in any of the sacrifice lists which have • been drrawn..up..f the general welfare. w :;; All of which leads up to the stat ment that Parliament will ,not in fere with. the domestic arrangeme of the provinces further than to s that their domestic arrangements -a made secure by federal legislati in. other words Parliament will see ;to that the wgt prQyinees keep their we hess to theinselves.by' passing th ( necessary law to prevent the wanespilling- into the dry spots. Wh Parliament says to the provinces in substance "Go as far as you like forward- or back—and we go with yo Union Government aims to plea everybody and if everybody isn't pleas ed then so much the worse for Ifni()Ifni()Government. As Abraham Lincol might say "You can't please all th people all of the time, but you ca perhaps keep.from slipping for an other year." I understand that eve Leader Rowell reckons with the mut ability of public opinion and declare now. that, he never advocated total pro hibition—which may be true in th letter but equivocal in the spirit. As usual the "drys" are perhap more evident in their earnestness They have taken to heart the advic "write to your member of Parliament and the personal letters come in shoal Also the petitions—they keep falIin like leaves on an autumn day. Wha the letters . chiefly, dwell on is th moderation of their request. Nai it down for another year—that is al they ask. It is almost a sign o weakness—an admission that the have bitten off more than they ca chew. It is , the first time in . th frantic history of the dry moveinen that theythave yielded ground. The ask that'k1t be accounted for merit. But the wets are very much in ear nest too. They assail the public wit full page advertisements—the news papers must be waxing fat on these alarms—so that the member of Par liament who runs may read. More over if he doesn't read he May never run again. The result is that timid politicians are finding the courage of their convictions. They begin to in- dulge in real talk instead of the old can't. They do not overlook the fact that fifteen hundred trades and labor unions, out of nineteen hundred, have asked for better beer and more of it. These are .the days when Labor must have its head. This fact alone is sup- port enough for anything Parliament may do for Labor to make Capital easier in its mind, It's the poor man that has. suffered most. The ° rich man has had his whisky, his gin, his wine all this time in his well -stocked cellars. As the supply • ebbs °and the danger of thirst comes nearer, he feels his views on absolute prohibition changing. When he gets another chance he will pro- •bably vote for a reasonable liquor policy—sonmething that will ray the ghost but- will not"banish spirits -al- together. But the poor man . has had no such solace. - His rood beer—his chief suustittite for riches ---has been taken away, and a two and a half per cent belly -ache put in its nlace.

ThatoTtl adage apply to -day, "laugh and the world will laugh with you," and so it is well, to laugh even at the close of a great war, and an .epidemic following it, that has taken as many human lives as the war and left mournin;; in almost every household. While th hand of Death has taken some of our friends, it is no irreverence their memories, nor from a light conception of our sorrow, if we laugh, for wit all the memories of those taken fro us and those memories 'so sweet, ye there is the living we must look to and that is where the sombre hue of mourningmust give place to the lighter side of life. Otherwise our mourning. would become unbearable and we to would lose our hold and. interest i Iife, and our old world would become a matter of decay, which probably would result in a great disarranging of- the Divine plan. Therefore -it is well that we look into the future brightly, and faithfully, assist to do our little ebit in that great plan of life. And what a great problem it is " to solve prop erly to our intensely human mind and we are apt to think at times that our mathematics are not of grade A i this great work, but we can only work on in faith. But our faith must be of - a different kind from the old, Irish ladies, who had a son in the army in Palestine, and was hurrying down th street early in the morning, when she met the priest and he thought he saw the marks of tears on that sorrowful face. So he asked her if she had word as to the'safety of her son, to which she replied. "Oh, he has been killed,' and the priest asked her if the war office had advised her to that effect, and she said, "No." Well then how do you know he has been killed?' "Well I received a letter from him late last night, stating he had reached the Holy Land at last. Our know- edgelmust be of a wider character than the old gentleman, who • had a on at the front. In telling a friend that the war had increased his know- edge ledge of geography of the world, he said, "Do you know I had a letter from my son from Jerusalem and I always thought before that Jerusalem was in Heaven." And so our risibilities are touched by those unimportant things ►f life, which helps to fit and sustain us for the more important ones. When we look back down the pages,. we find certain Kings before they settled down to affairs of state, would call in the Court Jesters to put them in a frame of mind for their work. March came in like a lion with snow wind and frost, today registering 32 below. It is not usual to get it that low in March and it -almost looks as if the weather clerk had got a wink frons the coal barons to benefit their business, for it has certainly been a ease of shovel coal. But for all, we have had a heavy fall of snow, and tcost and some wind. The old; three days blizzard of the eighties seems to Char- lotte ►e a thing of the past. In'these days [ have seen three days in succession that took a pioneer to navigate from i house to barn, but our climate his ertainly undergone a wonderful change in thirty years. I think it ago, was thirty* s;x years ago I met the !ate Hon. John Norquay, who was born here fear where Winnipeg stands to -day, end I' asked. him did he think that Mr. �heat'rg would be a success, and ro replied that' with the_ sinal -amount :i grown along the -Red river could not give a 8,atisfactory' answer. Just y think, since the Hon. John- said that k we have been sailed the bread basket bright, of the British Empire. Truly from a doubtful, small beginning to a large L is the questions that' reasbndbl men in Parliament are as ng. For instance they, are asking w at is th moral effect, on the -national haracter of a law which engenders tie lowest; class of spies and tuns a larg number of decent citizens into law reakers u freer ased . ef- and liars ? How ab t " fkciency ?" Is it better halve beer' ' less driven sullen ; labor or labor real`onably contented with, its lot? How about "economic waste ?" Is waste - just waste—or is it Thrift in disguise, something saved from .the. strain of , life ? Does the works gman feel more cheerful' when he ha ds Mr. F lavelle seventy cents a , pound. for bacon or when the he pays five cents fozrl a cool �. drink after a hard deys work in the foundry? Does he°'fe,el that p ohibi- tion is a blessing or simply a ¢ruse of the employer to get mre work out of him and of the food profiteer to get more money ? Parliament is disposed to admit that the war is over and thea alter cases. The alterizi as I see it, is the att toward the liquor quest doesn't get a little mi. it may take up with son, deal worse—anarchy for example. Be- sides there are our alli4s, the French.
