crowdinu Havana,s Cafes.

There is only one phrase which adj
equately expresses the emotion OF the
average decent tourist upon seeing
the Havana cafes for the first time
thru the perspective which a year OF
American prohibition provides--abso-
lutely shocking. And that is not In
tended as .humor, either.
It is not that these cafes, which
occupy the most prominent sites on
every corner and along the side
streets, are disorderly. They are not.
If any disorder occurs-I say Ii with
shame, modification and regret-it is
almost inevitably Americans who
make it. It is the mere fact OF the
existence of the saloon itself which is
shocking. 1t looks sordid and ugly
and-well. shocking. can only say
1t again.
The Cubans themselves are very
temperate people. Time and again /

A BANKING EXPERIMENT.

Manitoba Is trying out a new sys-
tenn Of rural banks. A number OF
banking offices are being opened
thruout the province to receive de-
posits for the purpose OF making
loans to the farmers for productive
purposes thru the Rural Credit
Societies system, which has been in
operation for the last four years.
For the purpose OF providing funds
for the Rural Credit Societies the
new Provincial Savings act was
passed lately by the. legislature. I'M
der it savings banks will be located
at all important points in the prov
ince. They will be operated by. a
commission independent of the gov
eminent. Four per cent will be al
lowed on all deposits, as compared
with per cent, the prevailing rate
of the chartered banks. and it is ex-
pected that the new system will pro-
vide ample funds for all require
ments of the Rural Credit Societies.
AL the present time there are
sixty six societies in operation. OF
these fifty-,three are actually lending
money to their members this year.
The total amount is estimated at
$1,5to,o00. and will be used entirely
for productive purposes. Much OF it
will bring new land under cultiva-
ton.
This new public savings system of
Manitoba is the first OF. It's kind In
Canada and some believe that It is
the beginning Of q movement which
may break the present control OF the
country's money by the chartered
banks.

nine. The, figures bear eloquent testi-
mony to the effectiveness of the edu-
cation recently carried on by the
national council that was created
some years ago to deal with the
illegitimate births in the United
Kingdom average about $4,000 a
year. or the children thus born
under the social ban some 10000
perish within twelve months, the
death rate Of illegitimate being more
than double that of the legitimate.
Mr.. Short rightly pointed to certain
facts which tend to correct the
statistics commonly cited, but these
notifications 90 not affect the CEN
trail issue, which is the necessity of
securing Justice for the mother and
the fullest possible protection for the
child. 1t Is much to be regretted that
the authors of the bill did not make
sure that the important provisions
upon which all decent and humane
people now seem to be agreed were
embodied in q measure less difficult
than this is to defend as whole.
Even the vital clause dealing with
legitimisation does not adopt the
simple plan long ago established in
Scotland, of removing the stigma of
bastardy upon the marriage Of the
parents. The child would remain q
bastard in cases where the parents
were not lawfully manageable at
the time of the birth. 1t is, of course,
excellent and necessary that the child
born out of wedlock should be made
in some sense a ward of the court,
and that; the allow ance for its
maintenance should be male more
adequate. But it seems difficult to
meet the specific objections made by
Mr.. Short and other criticism re-
gard, for example, to the compulsory
registration of the father by the par
ticular method here fixed Upon: the
complete and constant regt lation of
the money arrangement by the court
and Its officer, without regard to the
wishes of the mother; the permanent
relationship of mother and child to
the police court, and so on. The
home secretary made 1t plain that
the government had no intention of
affording facilities for the later
stages of the bill. since it has been
so framed as to be incapable of salts
factory amendment in committee.
This is probably a right decision, but
1t places the obligation of speedy
action upon the home office. Mr..
Short can not discharge that, obli-
cation by any expansion of the laws
governing adoption. 1t is incumbent
upon him to introduce and put thru
measure which will at least bring us
into line with other civilized govern
ments in q matter deeply affecting
the welfare of numbers of innocent
children. - Manchester, England,

SIX UP AND -FOUR 10 PLAY.

At the state golf tournament one

They caddied. They all got to the

opportunity doesn't mean equality of

has q right to enter and fight for a
win whether he had all the advan-

STILL HUNTING AN ISSUE.

To be(er) or not to be(er) that Is
the question. Whether it Is better
to suffer the pangs and sorrows Of
prohibition or by one horrid platform
stab to split the Eighteenth amend
ment wide open and holler for the
boys with the bungstarters. Were 1t
not for that 'false, fleeting perjured''
Bryan, who stabbed Champ in the
field at Baltimore the die would be
cast, they'd plunge, they'd cross and
booze be free once more. But there he
stands with Volstead resolution and
shakes his grapejuiced locks at 'em.
He will not down. Probably Burle-
son might be quieted but nobody can
shut Bryan up. And behind Bryan
is an army of dry democrats. The old
slogan mo sumptuary legislation
has become double edged. It cuts
backward.
The democratic party Is much In
crazy for drink but afraid to be
seen going into saloon. Tempted
by appetite and driven by desire, its
nose tickled by the bar odors it fears
the speech Of people and is afraid 1t
would be 'churched" when the fact
came out. The league issue Is a bluff
The leaders know that 1t can not be
made to stand up. Something must
be offered to attract: but booze
plank will attract barf1ies, not bees,
The busy bee will pass by holding its
nose or If it hesitates will stop only
to sting.
It Is reasonably safe to predict that
no wet plank will go into the demo-
crnt platform. It 10 also pretty safe
prediction that the volstead resolu-
ton Of Mr.. Bryan will be ehloro-
formed as gently as possible.
The truth is that neither the league
nor the liquor question IL proper
issue on which to make the CAM
paign. The real issues are recon-
sruction, economy and Americanism
The liquor question il one OF enforce
ment only. Prohibition has been de-
cided by constitutional amendment
and the powers Of booze can not pre-
vail against it. It IL there to stay.
