It says : Early In the year Miss Maggie Pollock, a young woman living on a farm near Blyth, in Huron county, was brought before the county judge accused '•f practising an occult science. The judge convicted her, the case was appealed to Osgoode Hall, where conviction was sus- tained, and recently Miss Pollock was brought before the county judge for sentence. She was bound over in bonds of $200 from herself and her brother to refrain from pretensions to occult power and from practising occult science. She may go so far as to give an opinion as to where a lost article may be found. hut she must not profess to be guided in such matters by supernatural or (Iseult powers of any kind. On these terms sentence has been suspended. In her own defence Miss Pollock made a written plea that she be permitted to use her power, not for personal Rain, but for the benefit of others. Jt is a case quite out of the ordinary and it strikes us that it calls for a handling quite different from that which the courts. with their strictly defined duties and rules of pro - endure.. have been able to give it. As (he matter now stands it would not be surprising to learn that the court proceedings have done little m -re than give the widened {lowers of than young woman a Province -wide advertisement. She ie forbidden y the cnurts to profess the powers she -claims or to practise them, but she may give "opinions." and it is protable these will be sought by people from a far wider range of country than had ever heard of her before the court proceedings began. 1f a farmer's wife loe:es her wedding ring and has been unable to find it high or low, and if Miss Pollock can tell her that if sh4witl walk seven steps from the kitchen door and pick up seven chips &cos lheground.lttt wiM- iand_her ring. and if she does find it : or if a farmer believes that his gold watch was 'stolen from his vest pocket hanging on a nail in the barn and suspects the hired men of taking it. and of Moss Pollock can tell him that j( (eh nut of his pocket as :he was climbing a fence near an elm tree on his way to the barn and is lying in long grass near the fence, and if the farmer sews and finds it there -well, if Miss Pollock can d t such things wouli she not be a price- less person to have in the community ? Even if she can't do thea thinrs or anyt'inz of the kind. but if she thinks she can and if other people think so, ton, of what avail is it for the courts to interfere. forbiddine her to profess or practise occult powers. but to give "opiniotli' only ? Will not all who appeal to ha do -4) on the complete mutual understanding !hat her , pinions have occult value ? Surely the better way in an intelligent world would be to have subjected the professed powers of this youftg woman to a fair and ;thorough public test. The Department of Education might well have been entrusted with the.handfing )f the exper iment. 'interested as it is in the a -vane a nent of learning, and closely assorateI of it is with ruratcuinmun'ties. If metier futhoritiea were to summon Miss Pollock to dem-nstrate her professed powers at a given time and place, in con- nection with cases prepared for the pur- nose. either one of two results would follow : she would succeed or she would fail. [(she failed she would be discredited and effectually disposed of. 1f she suc- ceeded, w:iy, it wouldlbe a tremendous thing, worth being known byeverybody the world over. If this womn could tell everybodn who has lest anything where to fird it. why in the name of all that is sensible should she n t be let do iL plenty; of it. all she ran of it -and be paid by the Ontario Government two nr three times the salary of a sheriff for doing it ?

They pointed out that British Columbia already has more than its share of returned soldiers and that it will be irtepossihle to care for more, especially those who are incapacit- ated. The Premier has promised to do something when he reaches Ottawa. In 1914 the unemployment problem was solved by the war, when men were absorbed by the recruiting organizations.
