MEAT EATERS.

The vegetarians are making hay
while the clouds raised by high prices
are thickest. They assure us that the
prohibitive cost of meat is a blessing
in disguise in that it will drive the
American people to a diet of grains,
vegetable and fruits, and that the
change will make them healthier,
richer and happier Whether an ex-
elusive vegetable diet is the ideal
thing for man may be left to the
scientists and faddists to settle, or for
each individual to decide for -himselfg
but there is no doubt that most per,
sons eat more meat than is good for
them. little enforced abstinence
would benefit almost anybody. Or

WHAT PUBLIC LIBRARIES ARE
DOING.

The whole influence of the public
libraries will probably never be
known, but that they are doing much
to supplement the work of the public
schools is evident. A significant report
is that of the libraries of Brooklyn,
Where 100000 volumes were circu-
lated last year. the branches serving
the largest proportion of immigrants
showing the largest use. The new
corners are reading English and
American books an dthey are reading
books in their own tongues, of which
the libraries have a fair and growing
stock. Better still, they are reading.
not so many novels as books of seri-
Gus import-books that teach them
something of the country to which
they have come and shed some light
on the practical side of life. This is.
of course, partly due to the efforts
that all modern librarians are MAX
ing to put "the treasures that are
within" into the hands of those whom
they may help. A library is no longer
something to be looked at and adj
mired, but something to be used.
something to sharpen the wits and to
broaden the knowledge and increase
the efficiency of those who read. And
the man for whom the library is doing
all this is being helped both mega
lively and positively. Exactly how
much he is being helped and just
when and where the benefit will ap-
pear not even he may know, but that
the aggregate of helpfulness is great
is undeniable- 1t is adding to the ed
ucation that is making both the
Americana and the newcomer a
better man and citizen.

CRIPPLED FOR A YEAR

CAN'T KEEP THEM APART.

Politics and prejudice have done
their best to erect barriers between
the United States and Canada in mat
ters of trade, but the people of the
two countries are SO neighborly and
fraternaI that it is impossible to keep
them from doing business with each
other.
In spite of tariffs, figures compiled
by the bureau of statistics of the
department of commerce and labor
at Washington show that during the
last 10 years the trade between these
two adjoining countries has more than
doubled During that time, in round
numbers, the exports from the United
States to Canada have jumped from
$4,000, 900 to $190,000,000; while in
the same period the imports from
Canada to the United States have
jumped from $35,0OO,OOO to sSS.OOO,
900. The highest record for any year
was made during the last calendar
year.
There is not much talk now of an
nexation. In fact, such talk is frown
ed upon in political circles in Cana
da; while the people of the United
States are just now too busily engaged
in trying to settle important economic
problems to think of reaching out af-
ter more territory.
But there is going on all the time
an interchange of population that is
tending to mingle the blood and ma
terial interests of the people of the
states and of the dominion. There is
every year a large exodus of American
farmers to take up the fertile lands of
the Canadian northwest while a con-
slant stream of emigrants from Cant
da still pours across the line, mainly
into our eastern states and New Eng
land.
There is no doubt that better adj
justment of trade relations will come
in time, in spite of politicians ard re-
calcitrants on both sides of the line.
The details can we'll be left to time and
common sense. In the meantime it.
is gratifying to observe the closer
ties of brotherhood.

THE NEW SPORT OF DROMlNG.

The Statesman has previously noted
the difficulties of nomenclature in the
new science of air navigation. The
most aggressive of all the names for
it. aviation with it's -collaterials, aviate,
aviator and the like, is open to almost
every objection on the ground of
scholarship, thiugh it seems to be
making it's way in the speech of the
people for want of anything better.
1t is clumsy derivative from the
Latin word for bird and might express
the art of Matching eggs by sitting on
them in a nest as we'll as the act of
flying through the air The newes,
group of words suggested by the more
learned has great advantage of sim
plicity and is somewhat more express
sive Of the function of the airship The
Greek root drum, forming a verb
meaning to run, and noun meaning
a race course, enters into very many
English words like hippodrome and
aerodrome.
One form of it has come into mod
ern English and other languages as
dromond in sense more definitely
akin to that of the use now proposed
The dromond was a swift sailing me-
dival ship of war, propelled by sails
or oars and apparently serving the
purpose of the modern frigate or
cruiser The same sense of swiftness
appears in the word dromedary, al
most unchanged from low Latin. The
root enters also in scientific names
of birds and aquatic species having
the quality of darling swiftness.
Other words might express more
precisely the function of the airshlp,
but we doubt if this would be true of
any so simple as this short combina-
tion of open and silent vowels and Ii
liquid cOnsenants. To drome seems as
simple thing as to bike, sail, row or
ride and so much simpler than to mo-
tor as to demand the reduction of the
airship, use dromer for the driver and
dromation Or droming for the new
Iscience
OF course it will all depend upon
how 1t strikes the ear of the people
whose seeming whims of speech con-
tlnually override the authority of
scholarship and the precision of ety.
