CHINA SELF CONSCIOUS.
A remarkable change has come over China according to many observ-
ers and In the lucidly -worded opinion of Pletcher S. Brockman, who has
recently returned from the Celestial country. The war has primarily been
responsible for the change, but not dlrectl�. It came After the war and
as An Indirect result. Before the war one part of China had not the least
regard for the other. During the Japanese war the imutherit. Chinese re-
fused to adthit that they bad a I'var on. "Those 'follows up In the Worth

to this lacking sense of nationality that other powers were able to encroach
on China, to extort concessions, to Impose ,condltlon%, that no self -respect -
Ing nation could tolerate. Sincecilia war m now senae. of ,,Chinese solidarity

and a. national Consciousness. the foundation of patilotism has been born.
Some People will "view this with Alarm," while others Will "Point with

as, for example, It binds the people of the United States, the Dragon flag
will have to be reckoned with in the future even more than that of the RIs -
Ing Sun of Japan. Mr. Pletcher does not minimize as many do, the relig-
$ous, -moral and Internal ideas of China. Confucius Is a great teacher, and
these who follow him have at least as secure a footing for their political

BUSINESS INTZ=STS AGAINST LIQUOR.
It is not to be Wondered at It the minority who find participation in
the liquor traffic. profitable feel annoyed at the modern tendency to sup.
pressall opportunities for alcoholic Indulgence. For a few tile Illicit traffic
III alcoholic drinks has been more profitable than%the regular traffic ever
w", and most of the outcry has come from or been inspired by those who
regard more their own means of gain than the possible result to their fel.
low citizens. The liquor traffic has always been a tremendous expense
to the state. The cost of criminal courts, officers, prisons, of hospitals
and asylums, of orphanages and pauperism generally, is enormous, to sa,y
nothing of the loss to the community In labor efficiency and the disor-
ganilation -Which accompanies all alcoholic indulgence. Moderate drinkers
do not like to be reminded of these things, and perhaps they do not grumble
about the taxes which result, but the maJority of people are learning to
look at these things from a business point of View and In consequence we
.get such -votes as tile Prairie Provinces and Nova Scotia have recorded.
It Is customary to hear Complaints of the Intolerance of church members
and others who mass their oppositionto liquor on religious grounds. It Is
not stating'too, much to say that. had there been no opposition to the liquor
traffic but that of the churches It would still be In full swing. It Is the
cold, hard business sense of Canada that has been aroused against the pro-
miscuous use of elcohol, just as It was the political and business sense. of
. the nation that overthrew slavery III the United States. There Is a good
deal Incommon between the agitation against liquor and that against Slay.
ery. In each ease the churches were divided on. the questions, and in each
,case Opponents of the new- views urged that man's moral freedom was at
stake. A man should be left free to take itor leave it, it has been urged,
but almost Invariably the man who thus contends, takes it. When this
generation has passed away the new one Will no more desire the free sale
of liquor than the present one Irgrets the abolition of slavery or the sup-
pression of the opium traffic. Whatever It may do for a few liquor is un-
profitable to the community, and Ontario people know this as well as their
neighbors.
. IMULTS OF CLIMATE.
We bear inore aboutpeople leaving the United States tot Canada. We
are not surprised. Many people from the South have been spending their
summer vacation with us this October, and the Rugby teams In their
struggle for the championship complained of the prostrating heat on Oc-
tober 23. It may not have been thus through our entire three and a halt
million square miles, but Ontario. was selling raspberries picked on this
date In -crate loads. It has not always been. thus, and we do not profess to
understand It, though an astronomer fellow says that the planets, or most
of them, All got Dulling together and managed to make It Warm for the
earth. He thinks that viluter may settle down more or less permanently
south of the equator and that our climate may revert to 'something inilder
than they get It In White River. Another set of fellows have been dig-
ging Up wild beasts in Alberta -that lived on the shores of an ocean of what
they say was three million years ago, but some, other Chaps say was
nearer twenty-five or thirty million years ago, when at that time they bad
tropical heat and Red River rivalled Port Nassau or Rio Janeiro, If Red
River was llk,q that 25,000.000 -years ago, it is about time White River got
a chance. to thaw out, and we may all have the kind of weather that will
raise sugar cane in the back yard. This isn't 'what brought down the
price of sugar, though. It came down, when one big fellow. said It had
got sugar beat, and another big fellow heard him, and thought he had got

'United States are coming to Canada is In search of work. They are olos-
Ing up the factories over there because It takes anywhere from $1.10 to
V1.25 to bay a dollar's worth and Europe won't put up the money. So
