Retirement of Premier Hepburn
The announcement made last week
by Premier Hepburn that he would
retire from public life after the 1936
session of the Ontario Legislature,
was, in all probability, the most un-
welcome news that the Liberals r of
Ontario could have received or have
wished upon them.
To the majority of that party it
was a bolt out of a blue sky. Ontario
Liberals had looked upon Mr. Hep-
burn as a young and strong man, one
who had reached great heights and
one who gave promise of greater
things with the passing of the years.
To those in close touch with the
Premier, however, his announcement
did not contain the same element of
surprise, although the regret was ev-
en more pronounced.
" To his colleagues and intimates, it
has been known for some time that
Mr. Hepburn was in poor health.
Three years ago he underwent a ser-
ious operation, and if he had retired
from public life then for a year, his
complete recovery might have been
assured.
With Mr. Hepburn, however, pub-
lic responsibilities came first. For
the past three years he has Ied a
(strenuous life. How strenuous no
one outside of a political leader and
,and his immediate colleagues can
even imagine.
Since his election to the Premier-
pover a year and a half ago, his
duties and responsibilities have been
exacting and extremely heavy. So
much so, it would see that when he
Added to them his recent across
Canada speaking tour in the inter-
' ests of the Liberal party in the Do-
mnixffon election campaign, he under-
tood more than his physical health
could possibly stand, with the result
that he now finds himself at the
crossing of the ways. He must either
retire or run a very serious risk of
losing his life.
In his climb to the Premiership,
Mr. Hepburn has made many en-
emies. At the same time has has
made many more friends and admir-
ers, and irrespective of politics, we
believe there is only one wish in the
minds of the Ontario public and that
is that Mr. Hepburn's present holi-
day in the south will so benefit his
health that he will be able to carry
on for the coming session of the Leg-
islature at least.
It may be true that no man is in-
dispensable to his fellow men, but it
is equally true that Mr. Hepburn's
retirement at this time would be a
serious blow to the Liberals ' of On-
tario. No man in several decades
has taken the fancy of the public to
the same extent as has Mr. Hepburn
and few men in the history of On-
tario political life have been given a
greater measure of the people's con-
fidence.
Ontario at present, and for some
time to come, both politically and
_ financially, needs a strong hand at
the head of affairs and Mr. Hepburn,
by his record, would . appear to be
that man. That is why a large ma-
jority of the people will sincerely re-
gret his passing from public life.
However, there is still the hope
that a complete rest may restore the
,Premier's health, at least in a large
measure, and that he may be able to
reconsider his decision to retire.

Armistice Dap
There has been much recent dis-
cussion, newspaper and otherwise,
rover the question as to whether Arm-
istice Day should be a public holiday
or riot,.
There are many who fear the Gov-
ernment's action in making Remem-
i io bay a public holiday, will
' tend ncy of helping people
-,i.ristiOad of remember the
that duty. 'Tat' it will

become, in time, just another holi-
day.
That may be true as far as many,
people are concerned. At the same
time, to those who underwent the ex-
perience of the war, at home as well
as abroad, Remembrance Day will
always be Remembrance Day, whe-
ther it is observed by a two minutes'
silence, a ten minute service, or by a
public holiday.
In time, it is hoped, that a genera-
tion will grow up without experience
or knowledge of war. In fact there
is such a generation growing up to-
day. To them, perhaps,- there may
still be romance and glamour in war.
It may mean nothing but flags and
banners and bands; brilliant uni-
forms and marching men.
But to -the two preceding genera-
tions, war has a very different mean-
ing—a hideous meaning. They have
not forgotten and they never will
forget war.
Nor will those generations ever
forget those who sleep in Flanders
Field with or without a holiday to
observe that remembrance in.
Remembrance Day is a hallowed
day now, and if a public holiday in
after years, will perpetuate, even in
small measure, its memory, why
should it not always be a public holi-
day?

Mr. King at Washington
It would appear that Premier
King's visit to Washington and his
discussions • with President Roosevelt
was about to bear fruit in the shape
of revised trade agreements between
that country and Canada.
Also it would appear by his unex-
pected return to Ottawa and the un-
expected summoning of the Cabinet
on Monday, that the understandings
so far reached were of considerable
magnitude.
That Canada will have reciprocity
with the United States as reciprocity
was understood in 1911, is not ex-
pected; perhaps not desired. But
that there will be a revision of the
tariffs between the two countries
seems now assured.
And that•the revision will be down-
ward is also assured. But what pro-
ducts and manufactures will be con-
sidered, and how low the tariffs on
them will be made, is not at present
known, even by the principals in the
discussion themselves.
All that is now known is the an-
nouncement made in a joint state-
ment that substantial progress had
been made in conversations which
had extended over two days, and the
text of that statement read: -
"The President of the United
States and the Premier of Canada
have considered the questions of in-
creased trade which has been dis-
cussed for some time by representa-
tives of the two nations. There is
complete agreement on the objective
of a greatly increased 'flow of trade
for the benefit of both countries and
substantial progress has been made
toward this end."
"It is recognized that such an in-
crease would be beneficially felt in
all activity, because trade is but an-
other. word for increased employ-
ment, transportation and consump-
tion."
That, of curse, is good as far as
it goes, but what the actual agree-
ments will be, if or when they are
reached, is, of course, being kept a
close secret.
It is believed, however, that the
leading Canadian exports that will
be considered will be live cattle, some
agricultural products, lumber, fish
and minerals,
On the other side of the fence, the
United States exports which will be
affected are said to be a wide range
of minor manufactured articles' not
made in Canada; sane farm and min-
ing machinery and other partially
manufactured commodities.
No doubt the difficulties of ar-
ranging agreements, which will low-
er the bars of trade between the two
countries are many and great. For
one thing, United States farmers are
high tariff believers, while Canadian
farmers are low tariff, and both are
keen competitors in the basic indus-
trs, of agriculture.
However, the prohibitive American
tariffs of recent years have not en-
riched the American farmer, as that
industry there is believed o be ,at
the lowest ebb in some generations,
while the Canadian farrier does riot

,A little seer two years ago, ac-
cording to an ' article in Fortune,
Oehinna, 56 miles from Tokyo, was a
dreary, barren island boasting only a
few thousand villagers and the vol-
cano ,Mi•hara-y,ama. Then in Febru-

have leaped into the crater and 1208

ed as the expression of profound per-
sonal dignity, the dramatic manner
of Miss Matsumoto's death was ma-

every paper. Japanese sob sisters
gushed columns and pages. Promin-
ent citizens were interviewed on the
topic. Every foot of the way from
the outer rim of the crater to the
spot where Miss Matsumoto jumped
(they were already calling it Suicide
Point) was photographed. And the
crowds of curious who wanted to
see the place were so great that the
Iittle .steamer to the island had to
be replaced by a. larger one.
Thtou:sands upon thousands of
sightseers also floc ed to 'Oshima in

carpenters, reporters and a consider-

Yomiuri kept its public waiting while
it had front .page debates on the best

and the newer ,suicides kept up the
interest. Finally a steel cable was
attached to the derrick, 'acid a small

ed, was honored, in the Providence
of God, in that a mighty onarch
should act in pursuance of the word
ur of the Lord by his mouth.
Cyrus, in making his .proclamation
did it, he himeeltf declared, because
""he hath charged 'me to Ibui'id him a
the ;house at JerusaIem." lPrebebly it
was ,'by a dream or vision of the
th night confirmed by comparing it with
the prophecy of Isaiah, where his do -
r ing Iof it was fore told (Isaiah 44:
26).
1 Cyrus, having given permission for
the Jews to leave his dominion, fur-
th'ered their goring and, as his own
spirit h'a'd been stirred up, so was it
with that of the people, led by the
priests and the. Levithes. Those amlong
whom' they bad sojourned for so
many years now came forward and
.offered them freely such things as
they needed for their great under -
;'taking. By this we may suppose the
Jews had 'conducted themselves so
well among their neighbors that they
would he as ready to help them, be-
cause they loved them, as the Egyp-
tians were, .because they were weary
of them.
Psalm 126:1 -6 --This Psalm is calI-
ed "A Song of Degrees." In verse
one is seen bewilderment and a sense
of unreality which is often the first
effe'c't of sudden and great revo'lution's
for the better. The Jews had heard
that their days of captivity were end-
ed and they, in the supreme moment
of 'blessedness, were stunned and
could think !of it only as a stream.
Then , are, as verse two shows,.the
reaction. Their feelings were releas-
ed and joy and gladness were upper-
most—`tithe night of weeping was
past and joy was their conxpaniloRu in
the fresh morning light." But it took
the attitude of their heathen neigh -
e hors to stir them up to the highest
e pitch of gratitude. They; looking on,
said; "The Lord (hath done great
' things' Per them." The Jews re-e'cho-
e ed it, saying, "The Lord hathdone
great things for us, whereof we are
gam." Than, they voiced that glade
noes in song attesting that they now
realize that it lis no dream .bef eo'ling
them. The day of capti'vi'ty with its
weeping is ended and ahead are days
Iof toil and hardship; but in liberty:
The lesson of the . Psalm, says
Alexander 'MatcLareru in the Exposi-
tor's Bible, us one 'that areede to be
ever r'ep'eated.
There are two way's of going to
work in meferenee to earthly good.
One is That of struggling and boiling,
fighting and envying and that way
carries to no suceesstfui issue. The
curer way is the way of looking to
God and doing the appointed tasks,
wirtlh quiet dependence on Hien, and
that w'ay always succeeds, The one
way is that of "young lives," who,
for' all their elaws and strength, "do
lack and suffer hunger." The ot]heir
is rilha't of "them that seek the Lord"
who. "shall not want any good." '
Lesson Topic—The Return from Cap
t
Lesson Passage—Ezra 1:1-6; Psal
126:1-6.
Golden Text—Psalm 126:3.
The first part of to -day's lasso
gives the decree of Cyrus, king o
Persia, in reference to the return o
the Jews and the rebuilding of th
Temple in Jerusalem. Ezra, the wri
er of this account, was, a priest and
scribe, held in high esteem at th
Babylonish court, for he was appoint
ed> by King Artaxerxes to the re
sponsible office of naming the judge
and •ma'gistrates in Jerusalem. Th
chief employment of his whole life
however, was the s'budy of the Mosai
law, which 'he read and expounded, i
public. The pulpit first made it
appearance in connection with him
"And Ezra stood apron a pulpit o
wood" (Nehemiah 8:4).
This proclamation was the outcom,
'of the stirring that took place in th
heart of Cyrus, the King of Persia
by whom along with Darius' and at-
tached to the Persian kingdom. Th
hearts of kings are in the hand of
the Lord, and the time ,had arrived
in 'the providence of God for the re-
turn of the Jews. It is said of Cyrus
that he knew not God, nor how to
serve him; but God knew ham, and
'brow to serve himself by him. "For
Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel
mine elect, I have even called thee
by th,y name: I have surnamed thee;
though thou hast seat known me"
(Ieaialh 45:4). 'So we see in this ac-
tion of Oyrus en behalf of the captive
Jews, who had bedtime a part of his
dominion when Balbylon was ,annex-
ed, how God governs the world by
His influence on the spirits of men,
and, whate'v'er goad is dome at any
dime, it is God that stirs up the
spirit to do it, puts thovights into
the mind, gives t'e he undo -standing
to form a night judgment, and di-
rects the will ,which, way He pleas-
es.
•Gad had promised that after e'ev-
enty years' time the Jews should re-
turn, and, as God had kept His
promise concerning Israel's deliver-
ance out of Egypt to a day, he was
doubtless as punctual rilow. "Acrd it
came to pass at the end of four hun-
dred and thirty years, even the self-
same day it came to pass, that all
the hoists of the Lord went out from
the land of Egypt" (Exadu;s, 12:41).
