Spring At Last
At long last, spring has come. Ov-
er night, almost, the land has turned
from dull brown to bright green.
Rains, long looked for, have come
and watered the earth and the seed
that went into. a perfect seed bed is
sprouting and shoving its green
blades up through the earth.
We still need more rain and more
sunshine, but the land has a pleasant
face.. May _nothing come to mar that
pleasantness, is the wish of the farm-
er and his friends.

The Penitentiaries Again
Riots have again broken out in our
Canadian penitentiaries. This time at
Stony Mountain, Manitoba, where
severe rioting occurred on Saturday
afternoon last, during which one
convict• was killed.
What is the matter with our peni-
tentiaries? Or rather, what is the
matter with the treatment that is
handed out to the inmates of these
institutions? -Is it too lax, or too
severe? Is it humane or inhumane?
These are the questions which are
being forced on the attention of the
people by the continued rioting that
has occurred in our penal institution• A
during the past year or two.
• The answers, we -believe, will only
be forthcoming after the Govern-
ment has made a thorough and im-
partial investigation into the whole
situation.
Penitentiary, inmates a r e law-
breakers, and as such they must ex-
pect to pay the penalty thereof. And,
likewise, the public expects that the
,,prison authorities will see to it that
the penalties inflicted are properly
enforced and carried out.
If the penitentiary officials` are in-
competent; if there has been lack of
discipline or favoritism shown ; if
conditions are such that convicts are
a law unto themselves, then the peo-
ple should know it.
On the other hand, it should be re-
membered that the worst criminal
within the walls is still a human be-
ing. If the treatment handed out to
the convict's, by prison officials, has
been inhuman or ever approached in-
humanity, the people should know
that too.
The general public does not desire
or demand, nor will it tolerate the
coddling of prisoners, but neither will
it tolerate inhintanity.
A wide open investigation of peni-
tentiary conditions in Canada is ov-
erdue.

The Forgotten Taxpaper
While making a personal investi-
gation of relief conditions at Crow -
land, where there has been a serious
strike of unemployed for some weeks,
Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn, on Sat-
urday last, made a stiatement which
will be a welcothe one to every tax-
pyer and. one which will bear repi-
Mr. Hepburn said: "The taxpay-

situation ,that has arisen through
either lack of food or work for the
'Unemployed and their families, but
one that has been caused by the un-
employed refusing to support them-
selves and their dependents, except
on their own terms and conditions as
to hours and wages.
There seems to be a too general
opinion among the unemployed that
the world owes them not only a liv-
ing, but one of their own choosing,
whether they work for it or not.
That belief among the unemployed
has been instilled into the minds, of
most by professional agitators, Com-
munists, and others of like mind, who
are careful to foster and encourage
it. Unemployment and hard times
create a rich field for these parasites
to live on and -they are cultivating it
most industriously.
It is there the Government should
strike before it is too late. Not one
of these agitators wants employ-
ment ; few have ever had any, yet we
venture to say, that under no stretc
of the imagination, could they 'be
plaFed- in the undernourished class.
Neither do they lack funds.
What the Government should give
these gentry is a spade and a hoe
each, some seed potatoes and a vac-
ant field with a fence around
it—
there are plenty such in the country
—and there they should be allowed
to work out their own. salvation.
We are not writing of the unem-
ployed who want work, who would
gladly accept any kind of employ-
ment, who are on relief against their
wishes and only because they have
been forced by present circumstanc-
es to accept it, but of those who will
not and would not work, even if they
had a choice of employment.
Lt might be said thatwe, in the
country, do not, as yet, know much
about the cost of unemployment re-
lief. Our taxes have not been in-
creased by a mill or two, or even
more, to provide unemployment re-
lief, as has been the case in many
towns, cities and other municipali-
ties. But we are learning. And,
more, we are paying—in taxes—our
share of every cent the Government
spends on relief.
That is as it should be. The Ex-
positor has said before and it re-
peats, that no decent taxpayer will
refuse bread to the needy and shelter
to the homeless as long as it is with-
in his power to provide them. But
there is a limit beyond which the
taxpayer, no matter how willing he
may be, can go, and that limit has
been reached in the country.
And because of that situation, the
municipalities or the Government, or
both, will have to make a division of
the unemployed. There will have. to
be a separation of the sheep from the
goats; a distinction made between
those who are willing and those who
will not work. The deserving should
still be adequately_provided for, but
the other class should, as we say, be
left to work out their on salvation.
The taxpayers have been forgotten
too long.

WHAT OTHER PAPERS.SAY
Get the Community Spirit
(Drowmann I le Statesman)
Individual effort to make a town a better place
is good. It may accomplish much if properly
direc-ted. But, if all the units of Ibusines,s, indus-
try, religion., education', society are harnessed to-
gether and set to work for the gond of the com-
munity, the total result will be a revelation,.
Borwmarwille and district is climbing up to -
ward's the ideal, or sliding :back into the rut, ac-
cording as it possesses or lacks the community
spirit.
Anyone can spend his money where he pre-
fers, bet there is an obligation to spend it in
neer own home town, for we all want this dis-
trict to oorstinue in existence, and we all want it
to advance.
Honest, iirow, are you really co-operating to
adssariee Bowsnanville's prosperity? Get the
cormrsunity spirit!

would be rash to say that Where the

wrong. ,Still, the promises to believ-
ers include their children and the in-
stances are comparatively few where
a hopeful outset ends in a worthless

thing is to strengthen that cord of
love between father and son. Of -ll

the strongest, is the cord of love.
