before the Christian era which con-

This. Z is explained. is believed TO
be the Oldest temperance lecture in
existence. 1t was delivered $500
years ago. Even then parents were
teaching temperance and there has

MORE CONFIDENCE FELT IN

From all appearances the tide has
turned in Canada. To begin with.
a large number of industries that
were compelled greatly to restrict
their output or To close down alto
gether, following the outbreak OF the
war, have recently resumed normal
or something bordering on normal
activity. There will be a great in
pouring of British and other money
this year-it has already begun-and
it is in payment for manufactures,
not in the nature OF loans. Canada
is not borrowing very much in these
times, except where it is necessary to
take up old loans with the proceeds
of new And Canada is either sup
plying its own wants from its own
stock on hand or is getting along with
as little as possible in the way of lux
uries. For example, during recent
years Canada's imports exceeded it's
exports annually by from 100000, 600
to S300,000,000. For the full year
ending with last March it was shown
that Canada had exported goods to
the value of $6,OOO,0O0 in excess of
its imports. In other words, the
marvellous fact came to light that
Canada had a trade balance.
OF course, things were not so live
~ in the Dominion as they had been.
Money was not easy. Everybody was
economizing. There was much dis
tress. But out of it all Canada was
slowly but steadily emerging from
artificial into substantial conditions

REFORMS TAFT FAVORs.

(Wheellng RegiSter.)
In an address before the judiciary
committee of the New York constitu-
tional convention ex-Pres't Taft out
lined some of the judicial reforms
which he favors.
He referred TO trial OF cases by
newspapers" as one of the greatest
evils Of the day, and suggested a modi-
fication of the freedom of the press.
Ito the extent at least of authorizing
the legislature to pass laws to protect
the administration of justice against
the abuse Of the press" He con-
demned the nomination of judges by
direct primary, favOring their appoint
ment by the governor. He would do
away with grand juries. substituting
a simple accusation by the prOsecut-
ing officer In the trial of civil cases
he would have no jury at all.
There may be some merit in these
suggestions, but they involve such
radical changes in prevailing methods
that if they are ever Incorporated in
our judicial system il will be only
after thorough consideration In ad-
vocating an abridgement of the free
dom of the press Mr.. Taft is treading
on dangerous ground. 1t is true that
there have been cases tried in the
newspapers. but it is very seldom that
q newspaper seeks to create sympathy
for a guilty man, or prejudice against
AN innocent man. The press as a rule
tries to present facts as it finds them.
fairly and fearlessly. There are some
exceptions, but the law should not
be based on the exceptions. Publicity
is so useful in the detection and pun
ishment of crime that any abridge-
ment of the freedom of the press
would work more harm 10 the cause
Of justice than could possibly be done
by what Mr.. Taft terms trying cases
in the newspapers.
