all work completed by oct. 81. 1922. Nobody who
has into the situation believes that such an IN
stitu;iOn state reformat0ry could be completed
in that time. Another the law declared un-
workable Is that the sums appropriated are INSULT
Client Experts have estimated that the change can
not be made FOR less than 81. 600 900 but the law
sppropriates 100000 fo- start over 81 So
900 additional. The money derived from the sale OF
the old reformatory might be used but even then Il
Is doubtful II the work could be done

PRESBYTERIANS AND CHURCH UNION.
winnipeg Evening Tribunel

The Presbyterian church has gone on record by \
very large majority in favor OF church union
The OF Canada showed the strongest deter
mination toward union.
The truth is that in the west, II the protestant
churches maintain sectarian differences they are
compelled deny religious ordinances altogether in
many districts where they greatly needed.
1t is the practical situation which confronts
all which is serving TO oblterate the distinctions
which divide from the other. is better
unite what they have in common than to let
their general effort TO cover the necessities OF so
territory insisting their differences
1t is evident that the spirit Of union permeates
the churches whole, and that the fact Of union
wiz be brought about, the slower minds
have time 10 accustom themselves TO the new habit
of mind toward religious organization required by
the development.

A LITTLE sMCE or liz.

There were 4.5S7 kids playing
In the street and making more
noise
Than a war. Several Of them
Were beating wash boilers,
Others were blowing horns and
One had long-distance bugle
Which would tear the heart out
Of a veteran Of 40 battles.
Those who had no musical instru-
ments
Were screaming and altogether
IL was one OF those city nights
That one reads about, and We
Got very weary OF the racket
Along about 10 o'clock and
Showed our head out OF the win
dow
And yelled; Hi! Cut out the
noise,
Or we will call the police.
Where do you think you are
At picnic ?"
For a moment there was a lull
And one little shrimp who
Was about eight years Of age
Mounted a barrel and screamed
How do you get that way,
You big fat stiff? This is
A free country. Crawl back
Into your hole and shut up.
You must be a reformer."
The last insult was too much
And we retired presipitately
In time to dodge a brick.
And the riot started again
More noisy than ever and
1t was augmented by another
Platoon Of wash boilers
And several new musical instru-
ments
We had never heard before.
And we wondered If II

both positions, though we have very strong doubts
if either is sound let us see what still remains open

of South Florida and do simple justice to the
most progressive part of the state.
They can pass resolution submitting a con-
stitutional amendment to the voters of the state,
providing for different basis of representation,
and prescribing the method of re-apportionment
in the future, AND IN THAT AMEND
MENT THEY CAN EMBODY A CON-
PLETE AND JUST RE-APPORTION-
NlENT, with the proviso that it shall stand until
changed by the legislature.
Amendments must be submitted at regular cleo
TONS Hence it would be 1922 before the new
apportionment would be effective. But, if it were
desired and the state were willing to stand the
expense. provision could also be inserted in the
amendment for special election. after the regular
election of 1922, to elect members of both houses
of the legislature for the session of 1923.
There is no question about the legality, prac-
ticability, or constitutonality of this procedure
and if it were taken, it would settle matter that
is causing feeling than is good for the state
and. with the added expense of a special cleo
ton, give the state the benefit of the new appor-
tionment early if the present legislature were
clothed with full authority in the premises.
1t is up to the legislators just the same, whether
their scruples regarding the constitution are well
founded or not.

COL. HARVEY

The objection raised by one of our exchanges

So far as ability and general qualifications are
concerned. he is the ablest man MIR. Harding could
have chosen, with the possible exception of Mr.
Root.
But there are objections which go deeper than
any implication regarding his caliber. Col. Har-
vey is, at heart, more British than American
which is undesirable in view of the general world
situation and what is still worse he is one of the
most accomplished intriguants of modern times.
Nobody will ever know exactly how much he
had to do with nominating Mr.. Wilson for the
presidency. Neither will it ever be fully known
of MIR. Harding, Again. he was the guiding in
huence in the fight against the Versailles treaty.
and we may safely conjecture that in that contest
he brought into play forces of which the public
had not the slightest conception.
Turned loose in Great Britain, with the whole
field of British and continental complications to
mix in, he may be depended upon to take up
role which no former American diplomat has ever
assumed-a sort of Taleyrand or Metternich role,
perhaps which will make him the subterranean
arbiter of the destnies of half dozen nations
Such man must be kept busy to keep him out
of mischief, but it may be regretted that his &C
tvtes were permitted to have play on so dangerous
a stage as the British court
