WEDNESDAY, JULY 110, 1928.
KING GEORGE V. sends four
paintings to replace those de-
troyed when Canada's Parliament
Buildings burned in 1916. They are
portraits of himself, his consort and
his parents. They will take their
place in the Parliament Buildings
along with the speaker's chair and
'che mace, both of them gifts from
the Old Land. They are every mater-
ial symbols of the ties that unite Bri-
tain and this her Dominion.
a
IPLING'S "Hymn Before Action"
was chosen es the test chorus
for the musical festival competition
at Brighton, England. One church
choir dropped out of the running, be-
cause the leader considered the hymn
warlike and glorifying primitive
passion. There is some danger of
letting this horror of war become
too much of a mania. The composi-
tion has for years been a favorite
for choral competitions. No one has
yet made the charge that it ever
started a war.
AMERICAN army officers will now
be permitted to wear foreign de-
corations won by them. Probably
few people knew that most such for-
eign decorations were denied them
]by their government. There may
have been plausible reasons for this
ruling in the first place. There are
much better reasons for rescinding
it. There are much better reasons
for rescinding it. It is decidedly un-
fair for any government to deny to
its gallant soldiers the honors which i
have been given them by appreciative
allied nations.
IR GEORGE WIKINS, COMMAN-
der Richard E. Byrd and Com-
mander D. G. Jeffrey, R. N.. are all
planning trips to the South Pole.
All three have felt it necessary to
snake it known that 'there is no race
involved, that the object of the
journeys is not to see which will
reach there first. The fact that they
have felt called on to u'cter this assur-
ance is a commentary on our nod-
ern life. The public has become used
to races in every endeavor. It finds
it hard to understand how three men
could each set out for the same goal
almost simultaneously with nothing
else in view than adding to the
world's fund of scientific knowledge.
BASIC industries of the United
States • show a better trend.
Agricultural employment is on the
alpgrade, and the building trades
show more men at work, This is no
artificial prosperity. Agriculture is
the Most truly basic industry. There
is little hope for wealth and good
tines in a year when crops fail.
With more men working on farms,
everything else prospers accordingly,
Wheat straws and corn stalks are re-
flected on the city's skyline. The
higher grow these products of the
fields, the higher creep the buildings
and the hotter grow the factory
chimneys. And this prosperity of
our neighbors to the south is reflect.
ed over here.
�URING the last two years, the
Baumes law has sent 100 people
to prison for life in New York state.
There are many who think the law is
unjust that makes life imprisonment
the only possible punishment for per-
sons convicted the fourth time for
felony. It seems harsh to impose
such a sentence on a person convicted
of only a minor infraction of the law.
But it is intended, no doubt, mainly
ae an exemplary law. It is designed
to give the habitual criminal pause
in his career. It is not the ultimate
in law -making, but it is a forward
step. What, would go far toward
assuring its success would be the
making of the word "life" mean just
what it says. Unfortunately-, this is
not always the ease in the United!
Stakes. In '14liehigan, for instance,
the ?overage "life" 'semi extends
over a little more than seven years,
That is not enough to discourage a
hardened criminal.
GREAT BRITAIN'S ships carry a
larger volume of goods from the
United States than those of any other
enation, 40 per cent, in fact, of the
'whole output. There is no cause for
• worry because the United Kingdom is
importing so much goods. The Bri-
tish Isles are small, and far from self
sustaining. It is rather a cause for
optimism, that British commercial.
shipping holds such a high place in
the world's trade. The old slogan of
Britain ruling the seas has fallen
somewhat into disfavor, because
many people consider it provocative
propaganda. The fact that she rules
the seas in peace time is a much hap-
pier fact than her naval supremacy.
MR. DAVID LLOYD GEORGE.
HI lays the blame for the Great
War on the Christian churches.
The war, he says, would never have
occurred if every church in every
country had said definitely, "This
murder must not begin." Perhaps
the churches could thus have pre-
vented the war. There is no doubt
that the churches exert a great in-
fluence. But Mr. Lloyd George by
his very words, disproved his own
charge. He said "all the churches in
Christendom." The churches are not
to blame for not preventing the war.
Rather, 'che responsibility should be
]aid at the door of human nature, if
anywhere. There is yet to arise the
issue on which all the churches will
be of one mind. That is not the fault
of the churches either. So long ne
human nature exists as is does—and
that will be to the end of all human-
ity—all the people in Christendom
will not see eye to eye.

COB, RICHARD H. GREER, K,C.,
one of 'che leaders of the Toron-
to bar. fears that we are drifting to-
wards the ridiculous in the matter of
insanity pleas by law -breakers. Cer-
tainly, more criminals in Canada, to-
day are escaping justice by this
means that ever before. In the Un-
ited States, when once a murderer is
arrested, anyone can immediately
foretell his plea. It seems that the
American influence is drifting into
Canadian Courts. We have not yet
come ,to the point where hired de-
fence alienists may go into the stand
and tell what, for a handsome fee,
they have found to be wrong with
the criminal's mind. But 'rhe courts
are even now faced with 'tne problem
of deciding just where sanity ends
insanity begins. Many psychologists
declare no person is absolutely sane
when be takes the life of another.
Perhaps they are right. Certainly
no murderer is normal when he com-
mits his crime. He generally has' the
normal intelligence to build up an
insanity plea when he comes to trial,
however. The question is, what is to
be done about it? A commission of
barristers, psychologists and legisla-
tors, carefully chosen, should be able
to decide on a law that would cover
the puzzling situation.
REV. CANON H. J. CODY, out-
standing Toronto cleric, joins
the ranks of those who advocace the
setting of a permanent elate for,
Easter. The wonder is that it was
not done years ago,, but changes cone
hard, no matter how solidly they are
founded on reason, There are still
some people who would consider it
sacrilege to change the method of
setting the date for a religious fes-
tival, It would be nothing of the
kind. A set date for Easter would
simply do away with a lot of un-
necessary confusion. No intelligent
persontoday imagines that December
26 is actually the date on which
- tto
Christ was born. As
a matter of
fact, Christendom took the date of
a pagan holiday and' made it a festi-
val of 'the greatest event in Christian
history. No one knows the date of
the Crucifixion or the Resurrection,
but it is good that these events be
commemorated by Christians. There
seems no reason, however, why the
date should be sett by a snore or less
complicated study of the phases of
the moon, Canada now has a set
day for Thanksgiving. Easter shored.

GAVE JUDGMENT

findings of the Privy Council in the
Township of Tiny appeal.
PERENNIALS
FROM SEED
While a few hardy herbaceous per-
ennials tend to revert to inferior
colors and patterns when grown from
seed, there are a great many which
come true or, are as pleasing in ap-
pearance as the parent stock, and oc•
casionally superior. It is therefore
somewhat surprising that, since the
desire to grow perennial plants is so
universal, there are not more pro-
duced from seed sown in the 'home
garden. While it is true that bloom
will not be obtained the first year
from seed, the fact that so large a
number may be produced with so
small an outlay should more than
offset the loss of one year's bloom.
The labour involved in producing
a supply of perennials from seed is
not great, provided it is undertaken
in a systematic way. First, a small
area in the garden or about the
grounds, preferably in a sunny and
sheltered location, and never in R
position where water will pond in
winter, should be set apart as a nur-
sery. The ground should be dug in
the fall, a good dressing of barn-
yard manure worked in as the digging
proceeds, and the surface left rough'
all winter. In spring, when the
ground is sufficiently dry to crumble
nicely, work the surface to a depth
of about two inches and rake till a
fine seed bed is obtained, Then with
the aid of a strong string or wire,
open shallow drills about a foot or
sixteen incfies apart. By planting
the seed in a narrow straight drill,
cultivation will be much easier, the
young plants will be more easily dis-
tinguished from weeds, and the ap-
pearance of the nursery will be
greatly improved. The seeds of some
Perennials germinate slowly, and
therefore, if a few turnip or radish
seeds, which come up quickly, are
mixed with 'che seeds of perennials
when sowing, it is possible to dis-
'cinguish the rows and to cultivate to
check weeds before slow germinating
perennials have come up. During the
first growing season, give frequent
shallow cultivation with a hoe to
prevent the formation of 'a crust and
to check weeds. When the young
plants are about an inch high, thin to
three inches apart in the row.
As many perennials require win-
ter protection in this climate, it is
desirable, when the ground freezes
in autumn, to apply one or two in-
ches of straw, coarse hay; or leaves
as a mulch. As a rule this should not
be removed in spring till there is
no longer danger of the ground be-
ing frozen hard at night.
The plants should be moved in
early spring from the nursery to
their permanent position (with the
exception of a few perennials such
as oriental poppy, which does nit
transplant readily in spring, but in
late a}unnmer). Care should bo taken
to have as much ,earth as possible
adhering to the roots when moving,
A spade is the most useful implement
for this purpose.
For hints on the subsequent care
of perennials, write to the Superin-
tendert of the Experimental Station,
Charlottetown.
Among the many perennials which
give satisfactory results from seed
are the following: Achillot, Polyan-
thus, Alyssum, Saxatile connpactum,
English Daisy, Forget-me-not, Arabis,
Coral Bells, Sweet William, Chinese
Lantern Plant, Campanula, Baby's
Breath, Columbine, Iceland Poppy,

BROILER CHICKENS FOR
THE BEST TRADE
Broiler chickens, when properly
finished, are eagerly purchased by
householders and restaurant opera-
tors who regard them as a high class
delicacy. Unfortunately during the
months of highest production the
price these birds bring runs low be-
cause so many of them are marketed
in a thin unfinished condition. On
this subject the Weekly Egg and
Poultry Market Review, issued by the
Dominion Live Stock Branch at Ot-
tawa, has the following to say under
date of May 29th:
"Complaints are still being re -
received concerning the poor,
unfinished duality of broilers
reaching the market. Birds of
this type, in addition to bring-
ing a poor price themselves,
have an adverse effect on the
price of the better grades."
It is true that the marketing of
the entire broiler crop within a space
of about two months has a deprese-
ing influence on time market but these
birds could be moved into consumpt-
ive channels much more readily were
they properly finished and suitable
for a high class trade.
Investigations into broiler mar-
ket conditions which are at present
bring conducted by the Doiunioz
Live Stock Branch, indicate that a
number of retail dealers not handling
broilers would be quite willing to do
so could they secure the quality of
birds essential for their trade. The
retail market is essentially nigh
class and it is very difficult to find an
immediate outlet for the thin, un-
finished birds,

"Canadians'
An Editorial in the
as a Name
Manitoba Free Press
The great majority of Canadians
will agree with 'che National Council
of Women that Canadian nationality
should be recognized without any re-
servations and that the people who
have the full rights of citizenship in
this country should be legally de-
scribed as "Canadians" and not as
"British subjects resident in Can-
ada." This does not imply, in the
least, any aversion to the word "Bri-
ish," and there is no ground for the
opposition from those who seem to
fear 'chat to drop the old legal de-
finition of Canadians and snake the
natural name the legal name will
signify a tendency to break away
from the British connection.
Canadians abroad, when asked es
to their nationality, would not think
of saying anything clec than that
they were Canadians; and of recent
years they have been able to say it
with more pride than ever before. le
it natural or consistent that we
should have national aspirations or
should be worthy of the place which
Canada now holds among the nations,
and yet that there should be no legal
recognition of our natural and pro -1
per name?
As The Toronto Star points out, I
there is specific recognition in cer-
tain statutes that have been passed
by Parliament. The Immigration Act
of 1910 provides that "a Canadian ci-
tizen" means: "A person born in
Canada who has not become an alien;
a British subject who has Canadian
domicile; or a person naturalized un-
der the laws of Canada who has not
subsequently become an alien or lost
Canadian domicile. Then in I921 the
Canadian government (and not a
Liberal Government) passed an a,t
which defines the term "Canadian na-
tionals," A Canadian national iq:
"Any British subject who is a Can-
adian citizen within the meaning mil
the Immigration Act; the wife of as r
such citizen; any person born oat: d
Canada whose father was a Can*-
dian national at the time of that
person's birth or (with regard fes
persons born before May 3, 1922p
any person whose father, at 'che tins
of such birth, possessed all the gnali[-
fications of a Canadian national"
' There is no reason why Canadians
should not be called legally by that
name or be described as Canadian:
subjects of the King of Great Britain
Ireland, Canada, Australia, etc., ra-
ther 'than as "British subjects rest -
dent in Canada." This would be itc
line with the new practice of describ-
ing the Dominion cabinet as "lira.
Majesty's advisers in Canada."
Full recognition of the Canadian
name is just one of the implications
following from principles accepted.at
the lase Imperial Conferences, whic&
will all be adjusted, after wbid't.
Canada will continue as before a
member of the Pritish family in spite
of the nervousn;se of some people.
