RACIAL DISC0RD IS
 AFLAME IN CANADA
French Asserting Selves in PoH-
 tics to Gain Bilingual Rights

l OttOWa, Feb. 26.-Racial discord i which for upward of half a century ! has been sinister influence in De- ] m1nlon politics. is again threatening l the national solidarity of the De- l mnlon. In the past fortnight the 1 surface agitation of Ontario French 1 Canadians against the provincial regu- l lations restricting bilingual teaching l in the schools has spread with omi- l nous rapidity, revealing itself as a l question probably second only in na- 1 tional import to the great war. This 1 national significance is strikinglv it. l frustrated in a combined effort of On- 1 tario French Canadian priests to pre- 1 vent recruiting among their people; in the decision of 5000 French citi- zens of Ottawa to pay no taxes, Fed
 eral, provincial or municipal, unless
 and until their demands are granted; in threats of bloodshed by one of the
 most prominent bilinguaI leaders: in monster mass meetings of French
 Canadians addressed by their parlia-
 mentary representatives, and in
 memorial signed by every French cit
 lzen Tn Ontario to the Federal Gov erhment demanded that the provincial act restricting the French language be
 diSallOwed.
 French Canadians United.
 Evidence that the French people in Ontario are backed by the full power of their two million compatriots in Quebec is found in the remarkable, and to Canadian statesmen disturbing fact that this past week has seen the
 Legislative Assembly of that province
 pass bill by a vote of 46 to 8 author
 izing the municipalities of Quebec to
 vote a sum up to per cent. of their
 gross receipts to support the fight for
 French rights" in Ontario. And
 the proof of this support is empha-
 sized in action already taken by
 French Canadian firms in Quebec and Montreal to boycott Ontario manufac- turers.
 To get proper perspective of what this French Canadian agitation for certain educational rights in Ontario means it is necessary to go back as far as the treaty of Paris after the cOnqeust of Quebec. That treaty, among other things, guaranteed to French Canadians the right to retain their customs and the free exercise of their religion This has been and /, is interpreted by French Canadians 1 as a constitutional right to have l, French taught in the schools where 1! French are in the majority as lan- {; guage of public instruction It is so
 recognized in Quebec. It has long , been a subjetc of controversy in On
 tario, Manitoba and other English speaking provinces and the rise and ] fall of Ministries have more than once 1 been a subject of controversy in On sue.

SHIPBUILDING IN TAMPA.

We agree with the Tampa Tribune that
the launching of the first Tampa built
steel ship Saturday marks an epoch in the
history of the city.
We commented on the fact not long ago
that in the entire south, which has three
hfths of the coast line of the United States,
only Jacksonville and Tampa are building
ships, although the greatest maritime
construction in the history of our country
is under way.
That the Tampa enterprise should have
gotten a contract from a New York con-
Germ for building ship for New York ser
vice, is as the Tribune remarks, sufficiently
remarkable in itself; and that the raw
material can be prohtably secured and
handled down here, is earnest of a new
industry for Florida.
American shipping now and after the
war will multiply beyond the power OF
words to estimate. Florida enterprise will
get its share if it cares to lift a finger.
Those ships will need docks-Americar
docks-when they undergo repairs, and
this reminds US:
What has become of the Pensacola dry
dock propositlon?

THE TURNING SEASON.

The tonic chill to the air a few days ago

Soon the leaves which have caressed US

THE LONDON PLAN.

If the bitterness Of war endured after
the articles of peace are signed, we
might take seriously the proposal of the
London Chamber of Commerce to divide
the world for post-bellum trade purposes,
into allies, friendly neutrals, unfriendly
neutrals, and enemies; with low tariff
rate for the first named and gradually int
creasing up to, 80 per cent for the last. [
Men have died and worms have eater
them-but not for love- expresses a very
human change Of heart not only for love
but also for hate.
Wars, every bit as bitter as the pres ~
conflict have ended in mutual rejoicing
foresee the zeal with which friendship will
be cen1ented when the present cataclysm
has spent its force.
The same people who have been drop
ping bombs on each other so rneticulously
will lie awake nights to think of conpli-
ments to pour into the receptive ear.
And all hands will be SO busy building
their shattered resources and untangling
their commercial lines that they won t
have time to torpedo the trade OF their
dearest enemies.
If the Chamber of Commerce plan is
kept at all. it will be in the museum as an
atrocity Of war.
The proposal that England change from
free trade to protection is, however, teas
ibe The British war debt will be stupen-
dous, to meet which, a protective tariff,
which according to estimates, would net
yearly revenue of about 100000, is
the easiest means in sight.
Certainly for England to revoke the
most-favored-nation clauses in her treaties
would only result in retaliatory measures
which would benefit the 'unfriendly
"neutra1s" and "ene71ies'' more than the
English themselves, whose trade it would
still further impair.

THE SCRATCH PAD
By THOMAS EWING DABNEY.

Considering the Hon. Bill Taft's
vote four years ago, it is edifyihg in
the extreme to hear him say today:
at is of the highest importance thai
in the very critical issues to be met
in connection with the ending of the
war, we should have consistent and
intelligent policy of constructive and
courageous nature, and this cannot
be predicated on a continued demo-
cratic administration" There are SO
many big words in the above sentence
that the average voter will be too
stunned to inquire why Mr.. Taft did
not have an intelligent policy of a
constructive and courageous nature
when he had the chance.
With the cost of living so high, peo-
pie can't afford to get old nowadays.
The announcement by Premier Kali
egeropoulos that the new Greek min
istry will follow very benevolent
neutrality toward the entente" does
not mean that his German wife will
be anything like benevolent toward
old King Connie.
Bill Taft in taking the stump fol
Hughes, is not discussing whether OF
not he is man of straw.
The time draws near when the
county commissioners meet, and we
are hoping for ringside seat.
Hank Ford having declared for
Wilson, is now shouting, Keep the
boys out of the trenches"
While Hughes is abusing Wilson
for settling one strike, he isn't saying
a word about Whitman for not set.
ting another Whitman is a republi.
can.
Having interpreted the Maine re
suits, editors can now wait until No
vember Z to find out what they really
meant.

TO BE EXPECTED.

No one who has followed the devious
career Of Roosevelt, who knitted the Re
publican party four years ago; who after
pledging the Progress1ves never to desert,
abandoned the people who had followed
him so trustingly to Arnlage ddon-no one
who knows these things should have been
surprised when Roosevelt cast off his
friend, Judge Seabury, in the Progressive
primaries in New York, in favor Of Whit
man, whom the Colonel had pilloried in
the past as utterly unworthy. And yet
Progressives high tip in the party councils
for long time declined to believe, ouch
thing could not be "Rooseveltian," said
Chairman O'Connell; and Hamilton Fish,
IT,, offered ito make wager with Brother
Perkins that Colonel Roosevelt will not
vote for Mr.. Whitman in the Progressive
primaries" Messrs. Fish and OConnell,
by the way, were so very cock-sure IN
Chicago that Roosevelt would accept the
Progressive nomination and fight for the
party's principles |In all conscience" the
New York Evening Post remarks, how
many Establishments do these men need?
The politics of Roosevelt and the Old
Gang, Amos Pinchot has hit off very nicely
in the following letter to Seabury:
"For quite 4 good while it has been fairly clear
to most of US that Roosevelt Perkins and the
Steel Trust Old Guard group around them have
not been interested in things which the progressive
party stood for. In fact, they have effectually
thrown all liberalism and democracy overheard
and are playing pure, od-fashioned republi-
can politics. They are not therefore, in a posi-
ton to support you.
"Col. Roosevelt steered the progressive ship as
long as the sailing good. But when it got into
rough water he promptly changed back to the re
publican craft. And incidentally, he did not take
much with him."
The Progressives fought for certain
definite principles, many of which have
already been translated into law by the
Democrats, and others adopted in the
platform; and recognizing how unscrupul-
Gus their whilom leader really is, whose
snickersnee is ready for friend or foe alike
| they will follow the forward-looklng
Parker. the abandoned vice-presidential
nominee, whose tour of the west in sup
port of Wilson is protest against perhdy
and an appeal to Progressives to preserve
their independence and continue to battle
for the principles for which they have
been striving.

JEWISH NEW YEAR
NEXT WE'D n ESDAY
BEGINS YEAR 5677

On next Wednesday, September p,
beginning at shutdown, the first day
of the Jewish month of Tishri will
mark the beginning of the Jewish hol-
idays, asserted to be the most holy
in the Jewish calendar. These are
days of the deepest religious signif-
icance, and will begin with the feast
of Rosh Hashonah, or New Year. The
New Year is to be followed by ten
days of abject penitence, which will
attain to their climax on October :,
which is the Day of Atonement.
In writing of these feasts, one with
some knowledge of the solemn occa-
sions, describes them as follows:
"On the New Year all the inhabit-
ants of the earth pass before Him as
sheep before shepherd" In these
words the ancient Jewish law book,
the Mishna, refers to the significance
of this day. 1t is a day of Judgment
when the sins and the merits Of all
men are weighed by the Divine Judge.
New Years judgme12 scene three
books lie open before the Most High.
In one book, the Book of Life, the
names of the perfectly righteous, the
sinless, are inscribed; the second, book
the book of death has recorded IN it
the names of the utterly wicked; and
the third book is for the ordinary
middle type" of men, in whose be-
half judgment is suspended through
the ten days of penitence, until the
Day of Atonement, when the decision
is finally made and recorded.
The service for the day are espe
cially solemn. Prayers in prose and
poetry, dwelling upon the theme of
Gods Judgment of man, are recited
and sung The Rams horn, the "Sho-
far" summoning men to prayer ano
repentance, is sounded in all synagogs'
At the close of the service the wor-
shippers greet each other with the
words MAY you be written down tor
good year"
| VI ClIOdOA Jews OboC4NC many wv
monies which suggest the ideas and
emotions of the day. In the home
honey and fruits are eaten and the
pious wish expressed MAY it be
Thy will to renew to US a good and
sweet year" During the day orthodox
Jews will go to river, shake crumbs
from their clothes and recite among
other prayers the verse from Micah,
And you will cast into the depths of
the sea all their sins" While ortho-
dox Jews observe the feast for two
days, September 27 and % this year.
Reform Jews return to the ancient
Palestinian custom and observe but

is being done on number Of other
