The Weather and the rhi
Ilas the weather o anything to do
With the flu? We were congratulat-
ing ,ourselves on this fine, open win-
ter we are having this year. Itis so
easy to get about. There has been
no -snow to shovel. It has been naso
.easy on the coal bin.
• But, after all, has the weather
really been healthy? Has it. been
fitted to our hardy Canadian consti-
tutions? To be quite frank about it
• all, we don't believe it has.
For one thing there is the flu, end
the flu seems to thrive in this kind of
Weather. It seems °so easy "for, it to
get about too. A short time ago it
:was in the north country, the United
States and the Old Country, and we
were told that it was unlikely it
would become an , epidemic in. Orr-

The -practise of kissing the Bible,
following the taking of an oath, is
, a senseless one at best, because it is
1 so easy, t� kiss the fingers or . hand
that holds the book, instead of the.
book itself, following which the wit-

tions as to the truth and the whole

But health prophets, like -weather
• prophets, are not always very re- ,
liable. The flu did come and it seems ,
to, be very comfortably established in'v
town and country alike. •
• Of course it is not the violent type
we had in 1918. At least not yet. But
the flu is the flu, and it isn't to be
•played •with, neglected or ignored,
even in its mildest form.
• The conntry districts seem to be
full of it. It is, getting into the
homes and business places in the
, towns, and day by clay its very un-
pleasant presence is making itself
more generally felt.• •
It is really too bad, but we can
• congratulate ourselves it is not
worse. And it is up to us as much as
the medical profieson, to see that it
• doesn't get worse. If you get a touch
• of the ,flu, don't carry it about with
you. Take it home te bed and keep
it there for a few days. Don't come
out again until you are entirely cur-
ed. Give the rest of humanity a

Hydro' s New Contract
-TM- dispute:- betweem the Hydro
Commission and the big power com-
panies seems capable of being ironed
out after all. Last week the Com-
mission and the Ottawa Valley Pow-
er Company came to terms and a
new contract, said to be very satis-
• afetory to both, has been signed:
Perhaps after. 'all, Mr. Hepburn
• was right. That nothing short of ex-
treme measures would„ bring the
• power companies to see the error of
• their ways, and consent to listen to
• _reason. •
• The eontracts signed by the form-
. er Ontario Government would have
led to but one thing, and 'that was
- the utter banruptcy of the great H37-
-• dro system, and when these compan-
• ies abs,olutely refused to have them
rewritten by the present Govern -
merit, the majority of the people, at
least, believe Mr. Hepburn did the
right thing when he caneelled theta.
• Only one power company, has, .as
yet, come to terms, but there' seems,
to ,be a strong indication that others
I, eventually, come to terms. In
e mean time Hydro will not suffer,

The Guelph Riot Enquiry
The official enquiry into, the '
2,2Gue1ph Reformatory riot of a few
weeks ago -has brought forth some
very interesting, if not astonishing,
evidence of one kind and another.
Perhaps (Vies of the most interest-
ing as well as astonishing bits of evi-
denee.so far produced, was that fur-
nished .by thirteen 'boys aged from
seventeen to twenty-two years of
age, and all inmates of the institu-
tion.
Of these thirteen boys, only two of
them had ever done a lick of work in
their lives, and those two were not
the oldest. Only one of them had-,
been in high school.' Not one of
them had ever learned a trade, or
, ever tried to learn one.
• They had just drifted about get-
• ting into trouble. And trouble is a
mighty -easy thing for idle hands
. and heads to find. Employment, as
everyone knows', has been a little
• more than 'scarce during the past five
• or six years, but all these boys were
of school age when the depression set
• in, and for some time after.
• But, apparently, • school which
• would have kept them gainfully em-
pJoyed, made, no appeal to them, and
what is still more deplorable, the
twenty"
pursuit of knowledge meant nothing
to their parents either.
The case of these thirteen boys is,
after all, not so really astonishing
to anyone who has travelled the high- -
ways intrelr durilig the--p•ast few
, years., Sueh a one has seen scores
and hundreds of boys of that age '
drifting up and down the countr,V.
Not looking for work; not any fixed
destination in mind, and with no am- •
bition whatever, except to get a
ing for nothing. -
The depression, severe as it has
• been, is not entirely to blame. The
primary blame rests WI the shoul-
ders of the parents of these boys.
Their utter indifference to the wel-
fare a ther own families, -bloys and
girls alike.
The authorities, af ' course, can
provide accommodation for that
class of youth in, reformatories akd
other places, but what of their fu-
• ture welfare? And -what will the ,fu-
ture welfare of society be, when
terms expire and the inmates are
dumped upan it?
• Something will have to be done, ,
•and` until parental authority grows
a new back bone, that somahing,
apparently,: will have to be done by
the 'authorities. ••
