Lord Passfield writes that Ramsay MacDonald had lost touch with his followers, whose importunities he re, sented and that this accounts for the eagerness with which he sought a new alignment. Much may be for- given hint. 'Sonne of his followers, especially the Clvdesiders, made up in conceit what they lacked in know- ledge and in turbulence what they lacked in logic. He called me "buddy" when he said: Stick 'em up—be -quick about it! Hit me en the head he dict (Feel the bumps there if you doubt it) Stole my money and you bet he Left me there both bowed and bloody. Let him off, Judge. Don't forget he Called me "buddy." Charles Lamb had the right idea. Ile did not believe all the stories about street beggars accumulating small fortunes. • He thought such stories "miser's calumnies." Give, and ask no questions was his motto. "When a poor creature conies •before thee," he said, "da not stay to in- quire whether the seven small ehild- ren• in whose name he implores thy assistance have a veritable existence, Rake not into the bowels of unwel- come truth to save a half -penny. It is good to believe ;him. If he be not all ho pretendeth, give and, under a personate father of at family, think (if thou pleasant) that: thou hast re- lieved an indignent bachelor, When they come with their counterfeit looks and mumping tones, think them players. You pay your money to see a contediau feignithese things; which, concerning these poor people, ; .thou eanst not certainly telt whether they are feigned or not." It is wor=th while ; passing en this, sermon from tihe Essays of• Elia. Better be gulled by an imposter •once in a while than turn" down an unfortunate. We ran across ne.the other day, a young fellow, six feet two ,or three, fairly- well dressed. He .had came from British OoIunrbia,-where he was. a miner. and prospector, thinking tc find employment inn the gold camps. of the Porcupine. He was unable to do, so. He could not get relief work either because every place he sine); had its own to look after. What- is that poor fellow to da. but roam, from place to place until be finds what he is looking fol' --work? ,. It is sailcl that in that part of Saskatchewan - where practically nothing grew lust year, the bees did business as usual, utilizing ,the sow thistle, which will grow anywhere, as the raw material for their `finish- ed produet. There is a moral here, whatever it is, Are we as a people taking full advantage of our justly celebrated depression? tombs have been sent by mail to certain persons in the United States. "But," says Unele Sam, "I don't mind the bombs themselves. It's the debtor nations that `bother me." "Is our Canadian winter chang- ing?" asks a contemporary. Seems like it and yet we are still afraid to say a kind word about it Lest it should ehango before our commenda- tion got into print. a We gather from the cable dis- patches that .Germany was quite will- ing to pay her creditors if they would lend her the ,money with which to do so. Rudy Vallee says .crooning is net so easy as people imagine. People will exercise more fortitude now that they know it is harder on the crooner than they had imagined. Fires of mysterious origin are en- gaging the attention of the author- ities in some districts, There appears to be a suspicion that in some way a building can catch fire from a policy. New gadgets on 1932 models make motor -driving almost fool -proof, ac- cording to advance notices. After a while the onus wit? rest wholly upon the pedestrian.

Canon 'Cody is credited with telling a New York audience that liquor control in Ontario "in- spired Iaw and •order," and "avoided the mistakes that lead to bootlegg- ing and crime." If the eloquent ap- ologist bad said that the passing of the Liquor Control Aet had put a stop to agitation, and had almost The true worth of a man lies about completely paralysed the agencies half way between what his , wife which formerly fought the liquor thinks of 'him and what his mother traffic, he would have been within thinks of him. the mark. Since 1926 the temperance forces' jhavebeen diumib with the sill enee-of despair, While their erstwhile antagonists have little to say because they are More or less satisfied. But when ,lir. Cody gives cur American cousins the impression' that govern- ment control • has reduced"crime and "inspired law and order" he flies in the faee of facts. As the Toronto Star, points out, during the last, five years the number of persons impris- oned in Ontario increased by 61 :per cent.; the imprisonments for'-drunlc- enness by 60 peri cent;;the convie- tions for assault by 62 per eent., the convictions for rape by 73 per cent., and convictions for •breach of .the liquor law by 220 per cent. Taking Canals: as a whole, convictions for driving ' while-. drunk have more than doubled, and so have -fatal highway accidents. The full effect of the pre:' sentlaw will not be felt, however, until the social; drinking customs now becoming common and respectable have borne their fruit in wrecked lives. I£ he lives 'to see that day, we have an impression •that Canon Cody will not be so proud 'of his child.—Orlllia Packet -Times. Forgotten Bank Acc- ounts reach Total of $100:000 Winnipeg, • Jan, 15.—Romance and - pathos are mingled in the mute tales told by a list of "lost" monies held by various banks in this city. The an- nual statements made to Parliament by chartered banks show upward of 2000 bank accounts totalling more than X100,000, which have not been touched for many years, and in no iii ease less than five years. Some of the accounts were opened for babies, others were opened by people who disappeared directly af- terwards and have never been heard of since. Men in barracks here left money, went Overseas to fight, and never came back. Pioneers went into the North country and left deposits which they never called for. Not only individuals, but corporations, soei- reties and relief funds: still have cred- its about .which they !have, presimaably. forgotten, • As long as these banks.stay in }business, so' long vrill the acounts he recorded and the balances held ready for payment. If a bank, is wound up,. Parliament, under the Bank Aet, puts these deposits inthe treasury ' and holds them fox all time At any time a depositor or,his proven heir may claim the money plus interest at three per cent. To +Link Two Great Parks - Wbrk on a highway that will link Jasper National Park arid Banff Na. tional Park in the Canadian Rocky Miountains, a distance of nearly two a hundred miles, has begun. The coun- try through which" the new highway will pass is at present comparatively littlo.known, and, with the exception• of a few game -wardens, unpopulated. The journey from Lake Louise to Jasper at.preseet is possible by pack train over an old Indian trail. The route of the highway will be one of unparalleled. Beni beauty, n p d scenic a uty, a d offers an alternative mountain route to the many tourists now visiting Banff and Jasper. Both of the latter places are noted for their splendid accom- modation for tourists and their var- iety of attractions, Jasper National' Park covers an area of approximate, ly 4,200 square miles and Banff Park, 2,585 square miles, while Yoho Park, 50-7 square miles, and Kootenay Park 587 square miles, ad- join the latter. GIVING SOME OF IT BACK A farmer took his son to the Presi- dent of a large bank.and asked him to give the boy a job. "You see," he explained, "I want him to learn the business and become a bank cashier." Not very well hnpressed with the lad, the banker tactfully replied: "That's a good idea, but why don't you make a farmer out of him?" "Well, I thought of that," said the farmer, "but, you see, the boy's not very bright."
