Norman Rogers, Canada's Minister of National De- fence, in an airplane . accident on Monday while he was flying from Ottawa to Toronto to address a pub- lic meeting, is nothing short - of ' a tragedy for Canada at this time. Mr. Rogers was a comparatively young man, who possessed an abil- ity far above the average, and whose administration of his all important office was trusted and commended by the people. across Canada. His department is to-da'y one of,. the mast ilnpertant in the Govern- ment, and while there may be many men just 'as able and just as capable as .Mr.. Rogers, his loss at this time is a blow 'to the Government and the Nation alike. Mr. Rogers had but recently re ,turned from E jgiand°"i and France, where he was able to gain first hand information _,on Allied needs and Canada's part in. fulfilling them, and the lack of this information to some extent, as well as a lack of experi- ence in administering the Depart- ment he so ably managed, will .,make the road of his. successor a difficult one to travel, • The Dark. Daps 'These `These are the darkest, days, 'per haps, that.France and Britain have ever experienced. France, is fighting with her back to'the wall against a horde , of Germans. If the French' - lines are "unable to. check or even hold the German, Paris and prac- tically the whole of France will soon be in German hands. If that should happen, and there is a possibility of . it, Britain's turn will be. next. Can Britain 'hold back the Germans?, And if. Britain fails, what about Canada? What about the United States?' And Italy has entered the war on. the side of Germany. What will Italy do, or what' can Italy do? Per- haps not much; but her entrance in- to the conflict certainly does not ease the tension on the Allies. Italy's array, navy and air'force may not be as large, as competent, or as ruthless as Germany's, but at the same. time they can make pos- sible a. scattered disposition of Allied troops, when a coni entrration of them is desperately needed and de- sired in Fre:10-e: ' Yes, these 'are dark days, And it is well to recognize that fact. If we thoroughly do, there will be an end in Canada to the bickering of poli- tics; to unconstructive criticism and worse; to complaints and fault find- ing; to noisy armchair hindsight and we will bend all our energies and re- sources into a united and clear- sighted policy for the future. Those things can be done' and. we believe the people of .Canada fully realize the absolute necessity of do- ing them—now. It is the one thing that Canada can do to . help the ' Allies in their need;; and the Allies need that help. We --can- reme-tuber too, and keep ref lumbering,: that the clouds were just as,,.dark in the summer of 1918 and that we came safely from under them. Neither France nor Britain has yet been defeated. Neither France- or Britain have really yet begun to' fight. :• We Could DO It In Canada Great, Britainrecently- ani oiniced e plan to enlist a "Mr.• Ot .emsevery town and e ib1e". will la lid ai:' air. Vk the' morale of the people. To give advice when asked; to encourage, not discourage, and to stimulate the efforts of the community. Such an organization would be most useful and helpful in Canada, where there are far too many mels distorting facts, and knowingly or unknowingly breeding fear in them- selves and in their fellow men. Right now we are having ,enough discouraging a n d disheartening - mews without having it exaggerat- ed, distorted_and spread. Our great need to -day and for many days to come, is to maintain our courage, our poise and our com- mon sense, and a few' "Mr. Sens- ibles" would help a lot. Not For Parliaments° The army of Switzerland, in all,its military camps, has signs` posted up which read: "Keep quiet—idle talk may betray the ,nation." That is mighty good advice, but, apparently, not for Parliaments. Not even Parliaments in Switzerland. One of 'these signs found its way into the Parliament of the Canton of Aargan, where it was posted prominently under the speaker's rostrum. The dignified deputies were very angry about it and demanded its im- mediate removal, but a motion to do so was voted down by sixty-three votes to sixty-two. But Parliament didn't take the hint and there followed one of the longest debates of the year over leg= islation, both important and not so very much so. . There are some other Parlia- ments, not nearly as distant as Swit- zerland, that are like that too. Still Complaining Nearly every person in the coun- try is, still complaining about the weather. And yet,, as Mark Twain said., no one does anything about it. We heartily wish they would, ` or rather could. It seems to rain al- most every day and almost• every- where. The only ' difference is that some . sections have showers and some have deluges to -day. And it's -vice versa' to -morrow. But in' spite of it all, or perhaps''. because of it, things are growing, _ and' growing in leaps and bounds. Hay is already a crop and. not 'an ,expectation. Pasture is more than abundant, and wheat and spring grains are just about as"good as they can be. ._.__- . So good in fact, that a drive, or - even a walk out into the country, . to -day is the best medicine that was ever prescribed or taken. Good for the health and better for the nerves, and we need all the health and nerve we can get these days. , Try it. -, WHAT • OTHER PAPERS SAY: How To Win the War (Winnipeg Free Press) e Now that Canadians lav awakened to the realities, they ought to understand that the strat= egg of the Allied powers is to foil the efforts of the Nazis to effect a sudden-dieciteieaa� by totat violent tear, and thereafter by slow accretions of strength, by courage, patvente and endunance to so change the :balance. that victory will be :ultimately attained..

The coining of fine weather meant, however, that the throng had moved fz'om around the pot-bellied iron stove out to. the front verandah. There was quite a crowd in the village, and the conversation at first was broken up anile scatter- ed : , , . with "someone stopping to chat or ask a questioe or try to deal a horse. Gradually the crowd) narrowed down with some drifting along down to the dance hall in the old skating rink and others with their shopping done, proceeding to go home. There were about eight of us -left, talking about nothing in particular until someone mentioned the war. Then it started. It' seemed that each one had a sure-fire method of winning the war. "The government ain't doing the right thing," declared my neighbor Higgins, "why don't we get an army big enough: to blast that German one to pieces. Then go and' clean it all up!" That was foolish in the opinion of others. One of the store venand'ah strategists even suggested taking ov- er -sized bombing planes and spraying gasoline over the whole of Germany, just ;• as they spray dust on cotton. Then' he concluded his suggestion by saying, "Light the gasoline and you !Could clean the Whole place up for all time to come." Others were out and out pessimists, denying even the frisk of being 'in.. formed on to 'predict dire thmngs, for !those fighting the evils of a land_" crazy dictator. They were. all for Peace at any price,. and then a de- terni:ined drive to build up arinam- ents great • enough to outclass • any power in the world. Thus it ranged up and down the verandah.. Each man with his own opinion . . . and some out-andout foolish . . . ` and others showing genuine sparks of intuition. Peter Samuel was sitting quietly, stoking away on that great calabash of his and taking it all in, Someone &said, "Peter, what 'do y'ou think of it?" Bushy eyebeeene arched as he paused to methodically tamp the to- bacco in deeper •with a stubby fore- finger before replying, • •• •• "Men," he said, "a 'long time ago' I learned tha,•t it is foolish to say what I think about something of which I do not know well. I know my . •coin• try- is Canada now, and where I was born, in Holland, has been over -run by a man who 1 think is mad. • "I work ward every day on my farm and grow food for myself and my family. I' pay my taxes when the man comes around and I try to keep my wife and kiddies in clothes that look good. When the men cone for money to help the boys who fight I give all I can, and I buy my wife yarn for she knits socks and mufflers to .send away. "On Sunday I go to church because I believe in God. When 1 hear men stand around after church and say that the war is bad for us, and say how the men who run the country make mistakes, I, wonder .. why they gar to ohureb.- Sucb things only make a man feel bad, •and when a man feels that way all the men around him start feeling the same way. "Back where I was born" my uncle used to have many teen working for him. In the morning when it was early and many of the men were cross and grumbling about the .wea. ther• my uncle used to start whistling. Pretty soon somebody' else would start. Maybe somebody would sing and soon they would all be happy. "I think it's the same now. I be- lieve we will win the war, and may- be somebody will make mistakes, but if we all . get thinking the same thing aboia't winning, I don't see how we can lose. 'If a man minds his own part- of the works and the' other men do the same thing, everything runs smooth' and then nothing breaks and slows ever -thing down." ItT :JUST A SMILE OR TWO The boss called dee of his clerks into .his private office. "I 'have noticed, 'Johnson," he be-. gan, "that you of all my clerks, seem to put your whole life and soul into your work. No' detail is too small to escape your attention. No hours are too long for you." e• Johnson .glowed with pride and sat- isfaction. "Yes, sir?" he asked, waiting for what he thought was coming next. "And so, Johnson," his employer went•on, "1 am fdreed, rtruch against my .will, to fire you. It is. such chaps as you who go out - and, start -rival, establishments." Magistrate . "The a officer states, that he found you two. fighting in the street." Defendant: "That's wrong. When he arrived we were trying to separ- ate each other." • 4.1 The inspectorwas paying bis monthly visit"' to the . village school.. He examined the children in reading and general knowledge, and was, very pleased with the answers he receiv- ed. After -the last question had been asked and answered satisfactorily he rose' to his feet and, looking at the upturned faces, remarked genially: "I wish I were a little boy at school again!" He allowed a few minutes ,1'or this to sink in 'and then added: "Do you know why 'I wish that?" For a moment or two there.- was silence. Then came a childish voice from the back of the room: "Cos You've forgot all you ever knowed!" Mr. .Gadget:" "What is the most pathetic picture in the world?" .Ditto:1 "A' horseflyi sitting on " a radiator cap." ;. New Speaker Is Well Qualified For Position • • i James Allison Gien, newly elected Speaker, is presiding 'over the House of Commons in Ottawa during the mesa critical session since Gonfe.:!er- ation, and this clear -thinking, quick- witted, kindly. little) Scotsman is .mak- ing an effective ..job of it, says 'Phe Montreal Standard in a recent issue. Ai one venerable Member put it, "eve rover seen the House the w-;ty it is today, ubot even in the last war. The whole 'atmosphere is ' different a n.d something completely new." •Thro•ughout ' the tense hours that Parliament site the threat to all that it• stands for- seems to inspire its Members and Officers to carry out more vigorously and perfectly those functions assigned to them_ Upon "Mr. Speaker" rests a large burden of the success or failure o'f their en•d•eavior. The bitterest , ur- gency in the history of the Einpirn commiand's primary consideration, in order that business' be pushed through, action taken, assistance given overseas without delay. Yet the Speaker must not permit toe right of free speech to be lost un- der a steam roller. He is achieving results, Ire says, by depending upon the good .sense and, gioo'd will of the members/ • individually. 'Their re- eponse is wholehearted. Mr. Glen likes Parliamentary work so that the extensive study of prose_ duce, rules ,and precedents She must now &aka dontinually to fit himself ton his post nearly interests him. It is hard work today, with little or no relaxation. For thre duration et the war- the se -Mal -nide of Parlia- mentary life in Ottawa has, been abandoned. In ordinary times Mr. Speaker, as official- "kiosk" for Gee Prime Minister, becomes, especially if he has a popular wife, the centre of oats of the pleasantest' institutions is Ottawa.

But visitors are a series of • anxious busy men; meals served in the Cham- bers are just siomething for Mr. Speaker and dais secretary, so they won't have to spend the time goring out. Speaker Gien was -born in Scotland at Renton, in Dumbartonshire; sixty- three.'years ago, His father was a boot and shoe merohant. "We 'were just an, ordinary Scottish family," says Mr. Speaker, "brought up on oatmeal,' the Shorter Catechism, and Liberalism." Perhaps, hie ins' correct to apply the term. `,ordinary" to a Scottish father who put' good edbca- tion at the trop of the must list for his children, and who managed for them a greater share of it than he. ihad rec.ei:ved himself.

Scottish, law, of course, is quite different from, that of England, or most of Canada, be- ing founded, as the Queen, pointed out in her speech in Ottawa last sum- mer, on the anoient Roman law, as. is that of Quebec Province. Solicitors in Sootlandi correspond to solicitors in England,, dealing with general law, trusts, the :personal affairs of clients, and eppearjng in the inferior or "Sherrifs" courts, but are not 'entit- led to appear in the higher courts-, which are reserved for advocates. Mr. Glen was engaged int law prac- tice, in Glasgow. In his early youth his eye fell upon one of these tapt- alizi.ng posters which Canada circu- lated, either •t &sough Government ag- encies or the Canadian Pacific Rall- tvays, inviting emigration to a new land with everything before it.
