The United States and Canada.

There have occasionally been a few
good people in Canada who have lab
ored under the diffusion that the United
States was, away down in the depths
of it's inner consciousness, haboring
deep, dark designs upon the Dominion!
This ridiculous idea has cropped out
here and there, in connection with
Canada's determination to maintain an
armored cruiser on the Georgian Bay
OF course such suspicious are vastly
more absurd than the apprehensions of
a German invasion which have so
troubled England of late, and in a way
have served to make her ridiculous in
the eyes OF the civilized world The
United States covets no part of Cam
ada's territory. 1t has for her and her
the heartest good wishes for her con-
tinucd growth and prosperity, although
it has never been so altruistic as to de-
sire that any part of such growth and
prosperity should be secured at the eX-
pense of American labor and Ameri-
can industry. We have, however, been
her consistent friend, and the relations
which she enjoys today with our coun-
try were never closer or more cordial.
1t is needless to say that these ami
cable relations could only be broken
in the event of war with England of
which there is not the slightest pros
pcct. Today the relations between
Great Britain and the United States
arc peculiarly close and cordial. The
best of feeling exists between the two
governments, and, will, we are conf
dent continue to exist through the
years of the future.

The Vacation.

The vacation, that in the old days
was looked upon as something of
luxury, has now come to be regarded
as a necessity. The conditions of to-
day are vastly different than they were
half a century ago. Society is more
complex, and business is done at a
much higher pressure. The telephone,
the typewriter, and the vast improve
ment in methods of transportation,
have largely increased the capacity to
accomplish results. BY their aid the
modern business man of the present
time is enabled to turn off as much
work in a day as the business man of
half a century ago could accomplish
in a week. Along, however. with this
increased capacity for accomplishing
upon the mind and nervous system.
The pace is rapid; but it is also eX-
hausting. 1t has become more and
more necessary therefore for those en-
gagged in the wearing grind of the mod
ern business world. to have periods of
rest and recreation. during which they
can visit new scenes. think new
thoughts, throw off brain flag, rest
frayed nerves, and give Nature a
chance to repair damages.
Because it has come to, be recognized
as a positive need the vacation that
was once regarded as luxury of the
few, has now come to be enjoyed by
the many. Employers everywhere are
coming more and more to recognize
the fact such periods of rest and re-
| cuperation make in the long run, for
| more efficient service, and better bust
ness results. Everyone should keep
in the best possible physical and men,
tai health, and no one can afford to

Tho Administration Of the Criminal

For a long time there has been a
growing feeling among the people OF
this country that the increase OF crime
has been due, in large measure to the
ineffectiveness of our courts in dealing
with offences against the law. In fact
it has become very generally recog-
nized that, in the administration of
punitive justice our country is still
far behind many of the nations of the
Old World. 1t is the growing discon-
tent with existing conditions that led to
| the national conference on criminal law
| and criminology held the present week
at the Northwestern University law
school. When members of the legal
profession as well as laymen join in
the demand for much needed improv-
ing of our system of criminal law
there is much reason to expect that
practical results may be accomplished
one of the heaviest burdens that rests
upon the taxpayers today is the great
and officers of the law-and still the
impression is very general that the
protection afforded society is made
1uate, and all out of proportion to the
expenditure for that purpose. Nowhere
else do the people get so little return
for their money. So numerous have
been the avenues of escape opened up
to criminals, and so VIGOROUSLY made
1uate have been many of the punish
ments imposed by the courts, that there
has been a growing disposition in ma
ny sections of the country for citizens
to take the law into their own hands.
If crime is to be checked, and citizens
protected in their rights, it is necessary
that criminal law should be admins
tered in the future with vastly great
er degree of certainty and celebrity than
has been the case in the past.
AS a result of the conference at the
Northwestern University a permanent
organization for the purpose of push
ing these needed reforms was effected,
and arrangements made for annual
conferences. Out of this movement SO
auspiciously inaugurated may, it is to
be hoped, come in the future practical
results that will be to the benefit of the
whole nation, by affording a greater

In England it is rare, if ever, that
the death Of Jew is regarded as due
to alcoholism. In New York where
the number of the Hebrew population
of Russian origin is considerable. the
deaths returned from alcoholism in one
year, according to the British Medical
Journal, formed O42 per cent. of the
total deaths, while among those who
were children Of Russian or Polish
mothers the percentage from the same
cause was only 0.13. The same pro-
portion represents the ratio of cases
of alcoholism and disease directly due
to it among total cases admitted into
