BOYS AND GIRLS IN BUSINESS.

The clubs of boys and girls organized under pub
lie direction to promote interest In agricultural ane
domestic pursuits appear to have apsed in the
fusion growing out Of the war. If they are still
carried to any large extent they at least not
getting the publicity that was accorded them a few
years ago. We were often astonished by the story
Of how much better farmer a boy proved than his
father in the production of corn, while the girls
frequently demonstrated that they could beat their
mothers in baking bread. Competition of that sort
is worth while and should be encouraged
II less attention is being paid in this country TO
such contests Canada appears to have taken up the
idea 1t is stated that 25 600 boys and girls in Man
itoba alone engaged in business their own hook.
Considering the population of that province Of the
dominion the participation must have been general.
One boy is reported have deposited In bank $500
as the proceeds of the sale of his hogs. 1t said
in former times that 1t was the custom for the
boys pig to become the fathers hog. Boys ten
dency to leave the farm has been ascribed to such
cause. The Canadian boys pigs were his hogs
when marketed, condition likely to go far in en-
couraging the boy to pursue his fathers occupation.
The Manitoba enterprise conducted under pro-
vincial and dominion auspices and with many
engaging in 1t no doubt 1t yields profit felt not
only now but destined to Increase The impulse
given to interest the part of youth In agriculture
and its possibilities is not realized In It's full effect
at once. It accumulates with the years.
Boys and girls constitute the best crop grow
and any effort expended In inducing them to de-
velop into profitable producers is worth while.

SOMEBODY'S BOY.

Are you without son whose heart you can de-

NOT A HOPELESS FATE.

II is difficult to get the point Of view Of Euro
peans as to the validity Of the claim, Of former EN-
peror Charles for huge allowance 1t is stated
that he will be given pension ranging from $4,000
to s125,oO0 yearly, and the peoples in the lands he
formerly governed will have to dig up the money.
That is not bad income. even If one does much to
earn it. 1t is more than generous when one does
nothing but act the part OF a monarch out of JOB
1t would be natural conclusion that the salary
should stop when the king ceases to govern espe-
cially since he deposed because he had handle
the business badly However. 1t appears that
Europeans accustomed to being subjects of a king
can not dvest themselves OF the feeling that 1t is
their duty to provide deposed ruler the means
to live in the state to which he has been accus-
toned. Monarchs have taught well the doctrine of
their own interests in that they able to

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY

Premier BRAND spoke slightingy of the Italian army
nobody knows, but the report that he did made

pretend they do not exist is merely to be an H. G..
Wells. One can be that in irresponsible Journalism
without endangering anything much, but not In re-

thing in international affairs since the armisce is
the nagging that has been exchanged between
Downing street and the Quail d'Orsay. 1t does not
mean that France and Britain getting ready to
contest the supremacy of Europe, as the hasty OBJ
might suppose. 1t does not even mean that
the entente is to be shattered But 1t does mean
that the Wellsian dream Of a Europe and world
without natonalisms is not now to be realized And
1t does mean that the Washington conference and
other effort for international cooperation,
whether by the league of nations an association of
nations any other agency must reckon with this
thing To make individual Frenchmen and Britons
understand each other Is perhaps impossible, but

SHOTGUN VERDICTS.

Rioting In Chicago is resulting from the strike
of the packing house employees People have al
ready been hurt; probably will be injured or
killed before the conflict is over.
We live in age of so-called civilization and
yet we leave these matters to be settled by force
In the matter Of settling labor disputes the world
is about where it four hundred years ago in
the matter of personal disputes decision "by
combat was then recognized by law. Might made
right.
If Armour and Swift are strong enough to coerce
their employees it is proven that 10 per cent de-
In wages is just. If the employees prove the
stronger the cut is not just. Was more absurd
theorem of government economics ever devised :?
The Journal is in controversy with the First
National bank. Why not settle 1t with a fist fight
or with dynamite? That was the old theory in per-
sonal disputes and is still the theory In labor trou-
bles Instead, society erects Its courts with judges
chosen by the people and private disputants
compelled to go there peacably. The court
makes the decision and the strong of the gov
eminent enforces it, Just it should do. For the
Journal to say that the First National bank is too
powerful and has unfair ascendancy over the
courts and that accordingly will settle the argu
ment with shotgun would be to argue precisely
both capital and labor argue to prevent the in
shutting of courts to settle labor disputes Dis
putants must be compelled to submit to the decree
of tribunals and then public opinion must to It
that the tribunal acts with absolute impariality.
The man who is afraid of the courts lacks con-
fidence in the justice of his else does not
believe in the efficacy of public opinion as the
agent of righteousness.
How long will It be before the people that
settling labor disputes is different settling
other disputes and therefore demand that courts be
erected to act in such matters with power to en-
force their DEGREES?

HISTORY AND MYSTERY.

An exposition in New York City of Americas
Making" has given rise to investigation and discus
sion on the subject of what part different national
tiles have played in rearing the structure which we
call America 1t is surprising how readily the
things we accept facts become matters Of con-
troversy when closely investigated. Spaniards
argue with Italians on the nationality of Columbus
The Welsh maintain that neither Spaniard nor
Italian was the discoverer of America, but that a
Welsh prince came here a little more than 800
years before Columbus The Irish maintain that
