Twenty-five liears'ago Monday the
'late King "George was ceewiied'in a

are already under way for the coro-
nation of 'King Edward VIII in May.

The Conservative Patty' announces
its platform in Manitoba• and pro-
mises, if elected, to save the province
1,000,000 a year. What. electors
-would like to. see are fewer promises
made before election' and more Tier-
• formance after. -
The Country Doctor has been ban-

The Federal Parliament prorogued.
Tuesday after a hectic few days;
trying to 4inish up. T is nob ex-
pected that there will be en Autumn
session, hat perliameut will meet 'in'
January, according to Premier King,
and get through in :time for his at-
• tendance --at the, par:enation of the
Hing of 'May.
The Federal Government has re-
. pealed Section 98, but for the life of
'os we cannot see why people who are
willing :to go about making reforms'
:In a constitutional way objecb to it.
.' ,Anyone, who wishes can advocate
any kind of a reform they fancy, so
long as they de not advocate the
bringing of it in by fierce; everyone
• has a right to say, his say about any
thing and the way it is done, pi•ovicled
.he doesn't advocate changing it by
force. What was the matter with
Section 08 in the view of law-abiclijeg
• citizens?
An army of caterpillars held up a
railway :train near Port Arthur the
other day. A jet of steam from the
engine finally routed them. We have
on other occasions, suggested that
• poison 'gas or something of the sort
might be used to stop the progress
of these pests, Which usually go in
armies. It would•probably cost some
money to supply equipment but it
would not Cost as much: as the loss in
;crops when the caterpillars have
theft way. And 'we'd 'rather see poi-
son gas used to' destroy pests which
destroy crops,' than for destroying
mankind. ' •
Some people weer rather eloquent
over Britain's failure to back np.Ethi-
• opia and stop Italian aggression. But
Britain could not take the respensi-
,bility all 'by herself of going to war
'with'Italy. And how far was,Canada
' :willing to go toward assisting in the
:stopping of Itallen aggression? Can-
a attn.' was as much a member' .of the
League of . Nations as Britain .:her
responsibility, es liar as we can see,
war; just es• great. What did ,.Canute
do
to strengthen the •League's hands?
What did anybody do?, So.fae as we
-can see the other countries just-' sat
'there and expected: Britain to go .e -
head and do something. And, suppose.
Britain had taken ' the dead ':and
brought on a ware what' would even
those who are condeiining 'her at
home, no less than in Canada, have'
said about .it? Well, they'd have.
said plenty, that's. certain.

The League of Notions failed sim-

any more than .ethers, not as • much,
for whatever was done, was done by
Britain, brit it failed because the,
great nations of the world were not`
united in an effort' to make' it a- suc

.Japan is, out ;and the United States,
-whose child the League is, failed to
take any responsibility:for it from its
'birth, What could Britain have done
:that she did not do?' backed as she

As a successor to the' old rhyme;
"The. twentjy-fdtirth of May
Is•'tlie Queen's Birthday,"
'':'ire submit the following -lines - by
'Anonynioue.• - -
• "On June the' twenty-third
We are each free as a blid;
Nb school, no ;work,. we say
For •'tie the King's Birthday."
The above was sent 'in• 'yesterday
morning for our Women's Page. As
We have -to make up this page: Wed-
nesday,morning, however; it was too
late for insertion. But es, this was
the, week to use it, and as it seemed
as appropriate on tine page as =any-
where,we are tanning it here.
Personally we• believe we should
celebrate the King's birthday, We
heme.always advocated this since the
beginning of .King'George's 'reign,
end see =no reason why it cannot be
done now;, This week, for instance,
some places were closed, the bakes,
the postoffice, the schools; but the,
majority of business places kept op-
en.. Then .yesterday afternoon the
'Business places.avere closed. Why, if
if cannot be managed any other way,
could the not keep the Ring's birth-
day and not have the half holiday
the same week? It would then only
mean a forenoon lost to business,
that wouldn't be serious, especially,
as most people would do this business
the day before or the day after.
The Newe-Record has ' advocated
thaeethe twenty-fourth of May lie
abolished as a holiday, though some
people seem to think than next door
to advocating anarchy, and the birth-
day of the reigning sovereign be
celebrated.
It would seen more sensible ,to
celebrate the King's birthday than
that of his great-grandmother, wor-
thy though she was.
Tuesday was King Edward's birth-
day and, while we do not stop work
to celebrate the I ing's brithdtiy, we
are a thrifty. and industrious people
in G°anada, we are none the less very
loyal to our Sovereign and few of us
but wafted him a good wish on that
they.
Canada, somehow;' feels a 'special
interest in and •a special friendship
for the Icing. Because, you see, he is
'.•early one of us.- He came over here
as 0 smiling lad and won our hearts,
thea he carne again and bought a
ranch in Alberta and has visited it
on more than one occasion, although
not as often as we should like, and
so we feel that he,"belongs: Stephen
Leacock, McGill professor and humor-
ist, puts it very neatly' in his own
whimsical way as follows:
"We'.a11 know him; all the sol-
diers know him because they re-
member hint in France; all the
rest of us know hint because he
has :been up and down over' Cane
ache more than we have ourselves,
and wherever he has gone he has
:,mingled with vs all — high and .
low, even professors—in that sim-
ple and effortless way Width he
ebmritands by it- select. King Ed-
ward 'VIII is especially` ane of us
because he owns land here....He
has a farm out in AIberta,
'which; ..of course, hooks him up
with Social Credit; an makes us
feel sorry : for, hini. We may
have:to help .hunt' out." ,
,We loved and revered Ring George
as a per,feet anonal chi, a as 'a gallant
gentleman- and 'tis a very fine Chris-
tian, but we:did not know hitp as the
die the present Icing, He's one of lis,
and with Very, cordial sincerity we
wish him many happyrreturns of his,
birthday, a very happy'and prosper
ous reign • for many long years to
come, .
