the- attention of ourpubilo is it not a thing that nothing is said about tho enor mous waste in tobacco habit millions dollars oven in Canada go up In smoke every year while the land anJ la bor occupied In producing raw material if turned to food pro duction vyould help the nations lo requirements and reduce cost of living The Christian Guardian of last week has an article on this sub ject which wo commend to our readers It says We have heard intioM though not too much about the and food waslo involved in manufacture and consumption of liquor and slowly but sur6ly the truth of the contention that the use of good grain and sugar lo make had beer and whiskey is a stupendous folly and crime is coming home lo the people in times the foci that wo are guilty of other fol lies ami crimes in a similar is also dawning upon us Tor instance the enormous and everincreasing consumption of tobacco can scarcely he justi fied in the light of the need of the nations for food and the neces saries of life We are not sure that we would have had the Cour age lo speak of Ibis mallei had not Henry profes sor of economies in Yah Univer sity brought some rather start ling facts and figures to our no- lice relative to the amount of land and labor used in the cultivation of the tobacco crop of the United Slates This wellknown au thority informs us that in the United Slates about onethird of the amount of land devoted lo raising potatoes is devoted lo to bacco culture so that if there was no tobacco grown In the Republic this year there could easily be added lo the potato crop over one million bushels which figure was less than a third of last years crop As Canadas largest production of potatoes in any one year of her history has been eightyfive million bushels we can the easier form an idea of the loss in food products involv ed in growing of tobacco in the United States And of course it borne in mind that potatoes are a much cheap er and easier crop lo grow and handloUhan tobacco- It is staled thai numbers of lo- growers in the United Slates have had their consciences touched in this mailer and have changed their crop this year from tobacco lo some kind of grain or other food product And we know that there are some tobacco growers in Canada who have done the same And we give them credit for so doing for it is an evidence of both- good patriotism and good common sense So far from this Item of waste and loss through tobacco culture being a small one we are of the opinion that should the war con tinue still for a number of years the question will be taken up seri ously by food controllers and positive and drastic action he taken touching it And perhaps will slowly dawn upon our poor human stupidity that what folly and waste and crime in a time of war can scarcely be a wise and righteous thing at any other time The very mildest thing that can he said about tobacco growing and tobacco raising is that it is a wasteful and utterly foolish busi ness No one could say any less than that about it so that does not seem to have any very good justification in reason or in com mon sense Editorial Notes Sharon has been elevated lo the dignity of a

boats lo come from Erie Pa and thus relieve the railway car shortage which proved such as to seriously hamper local in dustry during the year looks like a reasonable solution of the coal problem for

practical meaning of a referendum or she can sign a peace with Ger many which would be the prac tical meaning of finally rejecting conscription Shall Canada pre sent to wavering the ex ample of a British nation taking either one course or the other This is Die real issue in plain language which is now before Parliament Ottawa June George Gra hams resolution to conscript wealth and other material re sources so as lo make conscrip tion a balanced affair has cer tainly thrown the apple of dis cord into the Conservative camp They held a caucus the other day a twohour caucus from which low moans of pain proceeded The only thing the caucus cheer ed for was conscription of man power When conscription of wealth was broached the caucus breath came in short sharp sobs You know how a dog sobs when a can is lied to his tail The moans and sobs came from various quarters Some came from the millionaires in the cab inet who have not laid their bonds on the altar of their country and who have no son- to send instead although they dont object to sending the sons of one hundred thousand other men who are not in Ihe cabinet Others came from the protected manufacturers in the ranks of the parly They wanted lo know definitely what wealth meant so that it could as sume another disguise when the taxes came along As far away as the office of the Imperial Mu nitions Board on Street came a sound of wailing mighty influential wailing at that where Sir Joseph wailed to hear the worst The Govern ment has so arranged that the worst is yet to happen In fact it may never happen at all The time has not come yet to hurt Sir Joseph and he other powerful friends of the Government The policy is wait and see meanwhile talking rapidly to take the peo ples off their troubles Formerly there used lo be a great deal of suffering among the poor Since conscription of wealth was mentioned Ihe suffer ing has been chiefly among the rich When Premier Borden came hack from England he had such high ideals about conscript ing manpower thai he hoped the people would forgot con scripting wealth Unfortunately for him the people could not for get There a few million clear thinkers in Canada and tho question they asked was Why not make first first con scription of wealth first conscrip tion of men afterwards At least charming manners who plucked victory from defeat when Buchan an trimmed him in the election of by copping out a Govern ment Job at si year which lie has filled charmingly ever since Charm is Mr McGraths long suit- He is so charming thai whenever a job falls vacant his name is mentioned Up to the present Mr McGralhs study of the fuel question has been a little pleasant musing over a grate fire after a good dinner Nothing helps though like the dusky glow of a grate fire But you mustnt poke the fire or you will disturb the dusky glow What ever mission Mr McGrath under takes for the Government he can be depended on not to poke the fire Humor has it that Govern ment intends lo take the wind out of Mr Grahams sails by agree ing to motion to conscript wealth and let it go at that They may ask the Opposition to define wealth and to give concrete pro posals to which it is likely that the Opposition will reply You are the Government and Ihe pro posals are up to you What we do is simply lo indicate the prin ciple There is a widespread opinion that the duty of a gov ernment is lo govern is the Government that has the power lo do things and if the Government does not do them it is the peoples duly to put another Government in hat will It seems hardly possible to delude the public by saying We agree to the principle of conscripting wealth but we must conscript man first The things should go together Judging by past performance the national service bluff for ex ample the Borden Government is liable to forget secondary pur poses Any- talk of income lax which has appeared in the news papers so far goes to show that the income lax will not come into force until next year Another reprieve for the profiteers Meanwhile Mr a Nationalist member of the cabin et has resigned This looks like an election Mr resignation to be for advertising purposes The Government hopes to carry a few scats in Quebec that way Pre sumably Mr still be lieves as he did and professed in with the connivance of Pre mier Borden and his English- speaking supporters thai Cana da should take no part in the Empires wars and that she should have no truck or trade with the Yankees That Mr should walk out be cause Canada is now taking part in the Empires wars and is not only trucking and trading but fighting shoulder lo shoulder with the Yankees is a guarantee to the Nationalists that their prin ciples are still in existence though not extensively practised by Na tionalist members of the Cabinet Mr on the other hand slicks by the Government of the day and the viclrolas He can not say with Paul Larnarche who refused to linger on with a Par liament that had overrun its mandate from the people I left the House but I also left the fur niture Mr remains true to his job and lets his prin ciples take care of themselves What could be fairer fitiice Dont go Outing In seedy old clothes
