 Then while the members of the other chamber stood, Lord Chanccl- | Tor Sankey, still seated, read and de- | livered the ministerial declaration. | There was absolute silence among those on the floor and in the gal ] lcries as the crisp tones revealed la bor's administrative program. All the announcements on for egn policy had been fairly well forecast, particularly with reference to efforts toward disarmament and | the resumption of diplomatic and trade relations with Soviet Russia.
 The domestic program also was largely in line with public cXpecta- ton particularly regarding the un- employment, slum clearance and in surance schemes.
 Liquor Plans Excite There was somewhat of a stir as the labor party's purpose to examine the whole field of legislation relating to the sale and the supply of intoXi- eating liquor was announced. 1 A second point that attracted keen | interest was labor's plan to inNestl- gate the laws governing parliament | tarv elections in the light of the re- 1 cent experiences in the general eIc- ! ton so as to modify the statutes into conformity with new conditions.

CONSTRUCTIVE.

That community is indeed poor about which nothing good can be said, but poorer still is the citizen so blinded by petty prejudice and self-interest that his criticisms of the town of his abode are many and nev- CT interspersed with approbat- ion.
 Just as every human being has faults, every community, which is but a collection of human beings, has defects. But, considering the number of human failings, is it not sur prising that the average city and town has so few shortcom- ings and can please so many?
 In spite of these civic defici- encies there is not a commun- ity, not even the squalid from tier settlement, which, if it should count noses, would find it's knockers exceeding in num- Der it's boosters. Would one say those who are blind to their towns disadvantages are more nearsighted than those who cannot see its advantages?
 There would be less knocking if knockers realized that a community is just what it's citi- zens make it and that it is a confession of personal weak ness to diagnose the home town as incurably sick and de- crepit. By their fault-finding knockers admit they have failed to do their part in mak- ing their town fit their ideal of what a community should be.
 That citizen best serves his community who is unstinting in his praise where praise is due and who is fearless in his condemnation of things to be condemned. Constructive eff fort can be the fruit of dc structive criticism.

healthy, normal stomach. Guacks line their pockets with easy gold by merely holding out the hope that by a gland transplantation the old may be made young again. He who has lived to 60 or better and finds the fires of youth cooling like embers on the hearthstone fondly believes that he would gain something could he recov- CT the physical abilities of youth and couple them with the ripened experiences of eld- erly manhood.
 Fallacious folly! Man walks the way but once, unless it be a fact indeed that his soul transmigrates and in another shape and time he returns to earth. If this were not true, then it would be possible for man to realize physical i'm mortality; and we know that is impossible.
 We experience youth but once, the rounded experience of manhood but once, the twi. light hours of decadence but once, life and death but once.

time in the history of the fourth estate that this power has not been exerted with im- pressive effect on society and with society conscious of that e:::. ct.
 This omnipotency seems to have been inherent in the in stitution itself, for it was dur. ing the incipiency of the press in America, at a time whe' there were scarce a half-dozeh newspapers in the New World, th.t the battle for the freedom of tho press was won quickly and decisiyely. Attempts have been made since to muzzle tat the press, but without success. The power of the precs IS readily explained by the fact that with rare exceptions the press represents the will of the people.
 Without the cooperation of the press it has been said with authority that the United States could not have orga- nized it's resources for the suc- cessful execution of the world war. Without the cooperation of the press it is stated as a fact that the educational work of federal and state depart ments would be prosecuted with greatly decreased effici- ency and at prohibitive cost. Persons concerned with the rigid enforcement of the pro- hibition laws are quick to con- cede that it is only because a majority of the newspapers of the country favor prohibition and it's enforcement that those commissioned with such en- forcement are seldom derelict to their duty. In spite of propa- ganda to the contrary, there are no other laws in the Unit ed States so vigorously en- forced by public officials as those against alcoholic bever- ages. And the power of the press is responsible--even more so than public opinion.
