THE FUTURE OF CANADA

The probable results Of the war to
Canada, in other than a military
sense, is the theme upon which Sir
Thomas Shaughnessy has written a
most thoughtful article for the
Montreal Star. Sir Thomas says
that the two most important results
will be the effect of the great immi-
grafton which he expects will follow
the war and the transference of the
market for Canadian securities from
Europe to the United States.
He sounds warning note against
unjustified promotions and says that
# Canada is to succeed in establish
ing such credit as she needs among
bankers ia the States her securities
must be above the faint Of political
ertanglements and too free govern
ment guarantees. He points out that
where Englishmen have invested
money in Canada on sentimental
basis that no such attitude muy be
expected across the boundary line,
that the capitalist in the States looks
before ha buys and frequently after
he has looked he does not buy.
In the attitude of the Canadian
government toward the immigrant
he believes thele must be a radical
change as a result of which the Eu-
ropean newcomer will find himself
the ward of government deter
mined to make him from the first a
useful member of society and pro-
ducing factor in the cOuntry's econ
omy.
Sir Thomas attitude in both of
these matters has been borne out by
the long record which he has made in
the biggest interests in Canada. His
advice to Canadians is founded upon
long and markedly successful ex-
periences and may we'll be carefully
needed.

and that there they had found all
the adventure their hearts could de-
sire.
Along comes a young man from
Philadelphia who was hailed into
court for terrorizing young women
by night, and, when the sociologists,
with notebooks in hand, pressed him
for an explanation, he said Steven
sons "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde"
made him do it.
To be consistent the sociologists
ought now to drag Stevenson from
the library shelves. It is to be hoped
they do no such thing, any more
than that they succeed in closing all
the motion picture shows that are
not staged in drawing rooms.
Most of all it is greatly to be
hoped that gentlemen who start out
to study the ways and motives of
wrongdoers will do SO intelligently,
and not be so entirely gullible about
believing everything that is told
them,

PAdEANTRY AND TnEATRICALs

The presentation of the Susan B.
Anthony pageant at Convention Hall
tonight has significance aside from
its relation to the suffrage cause.
The influence of the increasing in
terest in pageantry, much of which
has been fostered by Miss Hazel
MacKaye, who is the author of the
pageant to be given here, and by her
brother, Percy MacKaye, poet and
dramatist, has been noticeable in re-
cent stage productions. At, least
three musical shows seen in Wash
ingtOn during the present season
were strongly suggestive of the APP
peal made to the eye, and the SYM
bolism which is the essential feature
of the art of pageantry, an art which
lay dormant during a period when
syncopation and eroticism were the
marked features of musical comedy.
Pageantry, in all its essentials, is
older than the Greeks, though it
reached a high degree of perfection
with them, and it furnishes a most
admirable channel to give pictorial
presentation to any propaganda. The
suffragists, in making use Of it, have
attained a marked advance over the
days when they felt they had to be
bizarre and sensational to attract at
tention to their cause.
The appeal of pageantry may be
primarily to the emotions, but, we
are beginning to suspect, so is the
appeal of most stump orators, and
about nine-tenths of the speeches
let loose during the political cam
paigns. For long time America
considered itself too sophisticated ia
look with favor upon pageantry
music, or any other form of appeal
not supposed to be primarily intel
lectual. But we now are arriving al
that stage when we realize that the
emotions, as we'll as the intellect

AMERICAN JESUITS
ARE GOING TO INDIA
Four Priests Volunteer to Take
Places Of Germans Interned
by War. u

NEW YORK. Dec. 13.-Four American
Jesults from the New York-Maryiand
province of the Society of Jesus have
been selected. it has been officially an
nounced, from a number who volun-
teered to go to India with a party of
Jesuits from Belgium and England to
take the place of 100 German Jesuits,
who as a result of the world war were
removed from their East Indies pasto-
rates and are now interned by the
British government.
Sixteen American Jesuits were to have
been selected. according to the original
plan, but recently 1t was decided to
accept only four American volunteers
for the Indian mission work and to
select the rest Of the missionary band
largely from Belgian Jesuits who be-
came refugees from Louvain and other
famous educational institutions con-
Quoted by the Jesuits in Belgium until
smashed to ruins during the first on7
slaught of the German army.
OF the four American Jesuits about
to sail for India two are from MAnhat-
tan and two from Jersey City. They
are the Rev. Father Denis Lynch, s. ]. y;
the Rev. Father Herbert Parker, s. j.
! the Rev. Father Edward Farrell. s. J..
and the Rev. Father Thomas Barrett.

The four American Jesuits expect to
proceed to India by a devious route.
They will sail from San Francisco on
January on the steamship Shina, and
after touching at Honolulu and Japan
will land at Hongkong. Thence by a
complicated route they start for India
and hope to reach Bombay after several
weeks of travel.
The four priests are being. sent to
India in answer to a call from Arch

for volunteers to take the place of the

could be spared. Archbishop Jurgens
then asked for American Jesuits to go

LIQUOR AND REVENUE

Charge it to what you will, the
fact remains that there was a
notable. decrease du-ing the past
year in the consumption in this
country Of liquors and tobacco, with
a corresponding decrease in the in
ternal revenue receipts. So marked
was the decline that the Commits
sioner Of Internal Revenue finds it
necessary to attempt to explain the
drop, and furthermore to warn Con-
gress that, in making up its budgets,
there is little likelihood of future
increase under present laws in the
receipts from liquor and tobacco
taxes. ''
To the growth of the prohibition
sentiment and the passage of pro-
hibitory laws the commissioner as
cribes the decline in receipts from
liquor taxes. There is, of course, the
usual disclaimer from the "wets,"
who contend that the wave Of econ
omy which swept over the country
after the outbreak of the war caused
a decrease in drinking. To back up
this position the "wets" point to the
decrease in the consumption of to-
baccO, which they ascribe wholly to
the economy spirit and which, they
say, is paralleled by the decline in
the consumption Of liquors.
Whatever ones personal opinion
may be, however, the fact is that the
report of the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue opens a vista Of
trouble for Congress. Up to the
present the tax on liquors and to-
bacco has been, a great source Of
revenue to the Government and in
times Of stress, when increased
revenue was needed and needed
quickly, an extra tax on these items
yielded prompt returns. With this
source of income failing, as the COM
missioner predicts, Congress will be
forced to look elsewhere for the
money it needs 20 run the country.
Should national prohibition become
a fact, as the prohibitionists conf
IDENTIFY predict. the need then would
be for some new form of revenue
sufficient to equal the $21S,0OO, 900
which was derived last year from
the liquor taxes.
Developing new revenue Of such
great proportions is not the work
of a day or a week. 1t will take
long study and much gray matter,
and it is a subject which the men in
Congress who believe in prohibition
should tackle just as. vigorously as
they do the demon rum"
