FUTURE couRrsMARTlAL.

Although many things may have
contributed to the complications which
have arisen in regard TO the disclos-
ares which have been made relative to
fhe latitude which is allowed in the
liking OF court martial sentences, and
it may perhaps be unfortunate that
the situation has developed as it has,
yet it cannot but be felt that there is
need Of getting to the bottom Of the
whole matter and overcoming such abb
surdities as at present are possible.
10 is OF course realized that disci-
pline is Of the greatest importance in
a military organization and must be
maintained, but nothing attracted
much more attention than the way in
which sentences were melted out to
violators IN the army during the per-
iod of the war, many being so unjust
.as to call for quick Communication and
others bringing forth pardons and re-
turn to the service.
Many personalities have been in

IMPROVE IDLE LAND AND HOURS

In tho past two years a great deal of
&hention has been given to the plant
d OF gardens by those who had never
RToted much thought or effort to the
matter before. The need of increas-
ing the food supply had been fully rec
Cgnized and from the reports which
have been made concerning such op-
srations it is perfectly evident that
the little fellows managed not only to
help themselves to a considerable ex-
tent but they contributed greatly to
the nations crops. They not only
provided themselves with fresh vege-
tables. but they canned what they
couldn't use and what wasn't passed
''on TO friends, and from the harvest
laid in a supply OF potatoes. beans.
squash and other things which lasted

Such was not accomplished without
effort and some expense, but il was

HE LiTERACY TEST.

The question of restricting immigra-
ton is one which is not botheriug this
country alone, and in this connection
it is quite natural that there should
be a certain amount of interest in the
proposition which is before the Cana
dian lawmakers at this time. There it
is realized that the welfare o. the
country must be carefully guarded il

to settle in their midst It is neces-
sary to keep down the undesirable ele-
ment and in thar connection the ill
under consideration calls 70" the ex-
clusion of those w::o cannot read or
write.
This seems to be fight along the
lines of the literacy test in this coun-
try from which it is to be gained that
there is danger involved in allowing
those who cannot read or write ia
come in and take advantage of the OPP
portunities afforded by the dominion
1t Is well understood that such people
are slower to get in touch with the in.
situations of a country and to make
any very large contribution in the
shape of citizenship. but it cannot be
overlooked that there is frequently ex-
cellent timber for good citizens
among those who have been denied
opportunities at home. Their unfortu.
nate predicament does not of neces.
sity mean that they are any the less
desirable than others who can reat
and write.
1t has been frequently demonstrated
that the real dangerous elemen
among those seeking entrance to tn,
countries in this hemisphere are thos,
who have received an education. Tn,
trouble makers are not numbered
among the illiterates. The latter ma,
be more susceptible TO the influence o
agitators and those who would replact
law and order by mob rule, but
greater national service would be per

THE COUNTY SEALER.

There is reason TO believe that the
constituents of certain of the mem
bers of the general assembly from this
county will have something TO say to
them regarding the effort which they
made to saddle an increased expense
Of $500 yearly upon them for a coun-
~ sealer Of weights and measures,
quite tho same as they will in regard
10 the boosting OF the salaries Of the
county commissioners at a time when
their duties will presumably be de-
creased by about half and when the
revenue Of the county is bound to ex-
perience a big slump and call for in
creased taxation, or the making per-
manent of q tax which has been levied
heretofore only occasionally.
There IS no county sealer of weights
and measures now. The work is per
formed by the respective towns and to
name a county sealer simply means
the overlapping of the local sealers by
the county sealer which is certainly
Uncalled for. This was recognized ap-
parentiy at the previous meeting of
the county delegation when the salary
for two years was fixed at IS. 1t was
realized that no one would want the
Job and that that was the best way of
disposinG OF it. and it cannot help be-
ing felt that it was. The idea of en-
dcavoring to put this annual sum of
$500 onto the county each year in adj

only be looked upon as a gift TO the

CITY DUMPS.

Announcement has been made by the
federal department of commerce to
the effect that it has declared war up
on the city dump, for it declares that
the chief consumer of the waste ma
terial OF this country is these very
same city dumps, and there is good
reason to believe that they receive
millions of dollars worth Of reclaima-
BILE material every year.
There is no better evidence of this
than the many instances which exist
to show that handsome profits are
made by those who are fortunate
enough to secure the privilege of han
ding such collections. In New York
city, where bids were recently called
for for trimming scows, which means
bage onto the scows to be carried
out to sea to be dumped, one of the
bidders who had offered nearly $500 a
week for the chance to do this work
declared that if he could get the job at
his figure he would clean up hand
some profit. He knew what could be
expected in the way Of salable waste
from such collections, the material
which could be worked over for other
uses, the metal, the bones, the rags
and the paper.
1t is the statement of the commerce
department that we send annually tc
the dumps 10 tons of valuable waste
material for every 1000 persons living
in a community, with 20 per cent. of il
being made up of waste paper. Under
the stress of war Great Britain in
creased its collection of waste paper
from 1000 tons to about 5000 tons &
week, the increase in four years
amounting to practically 500 per cent
Such being the case there is no rea-
son why proper efforts should not bc
made to work these gold mines which
exist wherever there is city dump.
