Superstition Plus SnObbery.
Manchester Guardian.D


 There signs that a form of the "end- less chain of prayer nuisance has reached the North of England. In this there is prayer but the document reaches each recipient with the familiar assurance that he will have bad luck if he breaks the chain" good luck" If he sends it to nine other persons. These stupid connections with their vague threats have been known to prey upon the mind of the sensitive and superstitious but the special feature about the present example is the impudent list of which said to have assisted at it's circulation Bernard Shaw" is said to have sent it to somebody and there follow other items in it's alleged progress like Henry Ford to Colonel Lindbergh' "Aristide Brand to Ramsay MacDonald," Ramsay Macdonald to David Windsor'-which presumably the Prince of Wales and is indication of the schemes American origin. At the bottom the names of more recent and less distinguished transmitters, and these are probably real The motive of the inventor of this nuisance is clear To the influence of super stiton he wished to add the appeal to snobbery he has argued that the simple and obscure into whose hands this precious document falls might say to themselves, Well, luck no luck, here's a chance to put myself the passenger list as Ramsay Macdonald and David Windsor. ' There is however, much easier way of achieving parity" with the eminent than by copying this silly list out nine times. Anyone who receives this document and is doubtful what to do about it should ask himself one question: What would an eminent person do with thing like ths?" The answer is obvious Put it firmly in the fire "

(C1ncinnau EnquirerD
 President Hoover's selection of Hanford McNder, former Assistant Secretary of War and exceptionally popular Commander of the American Legion, to be Minister to Canada deservedly should meet with the ardent approval of all Americans who Loyalty are devoted to this Government and its traditional friendly relationship with the great Dominion at the north.
 McNider not only should receive warm vel come at Ottawa because of his splendid record as citizen and soldier, but also because of his interest in and expert ability in connection with the development of inland waterways. He is an able advocate of the practical early evolution of the St. Lawrence waterway as distinguished great commercial artery of transportation of imperia portions. America and Canada are at present negotiating to that end, and Colonel McNider may be trusted to do his part to assist in the culmina tion of an enterprise potentially important both to Canada and the United States, and for that matter to the world

A Crisis in the War.
(New York Herald Tribune)


 fairly large and representative group of Am ericans has expressed it's views the question of Prohibition The testimony has been reported and interpreted honestly by the press of the country Confusion still exists, but the least objective ob- server must admit that there has been definite drift away from the Prohibition amendment. Every one must confess that with the adoption of the Eighteenth Amendment this country assumed sev- eral heavy liabilities The real test is simple one; namely, whether the gains from Prohibition have made this better a poorer country.
 The time has when 1t is longer advis- able to split hairs, to debating points to make sweeping generazations the basis of few facts. The fight is narrowing down. bitterness is ncreas- ing; friends and foes dividing themselves into separate camps. It is a most unhappy situation. It is if declaration of had been made and peoples asked to align themselves with this that group
 The question involves the very fundamentals on which democracy founded It is too much to expect opponents and proponents to study con- ditions impersonally but if they will strive to main tain spirit of fairness and forbearance the final solution will be reached much more quickly the period of reconstruction will be shorter. If many things are confused, obscure, 1t is plain that in decisive battle, the result of which may be undetermined for a considerable period but once it is the truce will last for more than generation at least

We regret to announce the death of Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, the explorer and author. The Polar Ex- petition which first brought him into prominence yielded valuable scientific information well as wonder and romance but his greatness as an international personality Is also soidly based upon the humanitarian work he did under the League of Nations in the years immediately following the war. His noble efforts to help prisoners of war. refugees and the sufferers in the Russian famine will long be held in remembrance.
