Stevens' Resignation The resignation of the Hon. H. H. Stevens as Min- ister of Trade and Commerce, and as Chairman of the Royal Commission investigating unfair trade practices, wili be regreted by ail, irrespective of party affiliation. There are few Canadians who will flot admit that Mr. Stevens was doing a great work for the laboring classes. factory employees and farmers, and doing it sincerely. His disagreement %vith the Prime Minister, which cuiminated in hUs resignation lias flot boosted Mr. Bennett's prestige throughout the country, and we prediet that the flood of criticism that will f ollow Mr. Stevens' resignation will bring to the Conserva- tive Party a new leader. We do not deprecate in any way the good work tliat Mr. Bennett has accomplislied. He has been head of the gox ernment in one of thie most critical periods of Canadas historY, and while lielias flot solved thie unempioyment problem, as he promnised, lie las brouglit the country safely tlirough the depression witlitlie League of Nations reporting Canada to be niaking better recovery than any nation in tlie world, flot excepting the Old Land. But the most important domestic problemn has been that initiated by Mr. Stevens, apparently against Mr. Bennett's wislies. From comments being made we are inclined to believe that many Conservatives liope that this open break with the Governiment wili ultimately lead to Mr. Stevens leading the party. No one can question lis courage, lis sincerity or lis cap- abilities, but the country as a whole is disgusted witli tlie treatment he has received from lis colleagues in tlie cabinet. Few were not a bit surprised to see that tlie leads of large department stores were among tliose wlio prompted Mr. Bennett in lis quarrel with Mr. Stevens. TI:ese mercliant barons liave lad a free hand so long, that the threat to their domination of commercial life, lias gone to the quick, and tlieir chef desire was to get Mr. Stevens out of the chair- manship of that investigating committee. Tliey liave succeeded temporarily, but sucli a victory will lave a boomerang effect. Is Policy of B. T. S. To Be Changed ? Just what Hon. David Crols plan is with regard ta the Ontario Training Sclool for Boys is lard ta tell fram îlhe many reports and statements made on the subjects. It will be sincerely laped that il is flot lis desire to place aIl the inmates of tle Mimico Industrial Scîcol in tle B. T. S. at Bowmanville. The îwo sclools are for entirely different pur- poses. The Ontario Trainig School was founded te, give tle underpriviieged boy, and the boy wlio lad starîed to go wrong. a chance ta, gel back mb îlte rigît stride of life under ideal conditions, On île oller hand tle Mimico Scîcol was for beys wlo are considered incorrigible. Tley were not first offend- ers, but boys wlo seemed t0 lave determined ta stray from tle narrow patli, and fer ihis reason tliey need- ed an entirely different type cf landlîng ta first offenders. It may be Mr. Croll's theory that tlere sliould be fia distinction, but le must bear in mmnd Ilere las always been distinction, witli tle treatment cf crime. The service clubs wlo lave done so mudli for tle Training Sclool and tîrougli wlose efforts and in- terest it was staried do flot desire tle scol ta, be- came just an Industrial Scîcol. Il is a training schcol, trying out a specia]ized plan in tle treatmenî of boys, and ils magnificent record cf success slould flot be endangered by bringing 10 mix witl the boys here, boys wlo are considered incarrigible. If tle Mimico plant is unsatisfactoy perlaps tle Govern- ment can find ailier quarters before the work at Bow- manville is ruined by tle change. The ]Best Way to Kilt Timne One man asked another: 'Do you know law ta plaY bridge? "'Na," said the aller. "Well, you ougît ta learn," raid tle first, 'Il's a great way ta kilIl ime." To whicl the otler man rePlied: "But I dont want ta kilIl ime!" If yau are one of tle multitude Ilat believes lIai timne is samnething ta kilI, lere's a very appropriate suggestion: The best way ta kilIl ime is t0 use it! Wlen time langs leavy on your lands and yau simpl.v dont know wlat ta do witl yourself," try Ihis -impIe expedient: Start praducing something! Iminerse yaurself iin rame useful wark; do somnething tlat poslîvely needs daing; croeate samnething of value for allers ta use and enjay. Just as soan as you engage nii seriaus production, limie flies iîl île specd of lightning. The best way to kîlIl ime îs ta use il! Everything in tle nature of lime is good, friendly, caluable. You slouîd lang to stretcl it out. ta hld il forever (as when you are engaged in some malerial pleasure) and aI fia lime slould you desîre ta kîlI il. And yet manys the lime yeu wL.ýh tle day. tle week. or the monl were over. s0 you couîd ireach a pint wlen you expect W find pleasuie. As you gaze aI thee dock and wistfulîy lang for quîtting laur. wly flot realîze lIai if your object is ta have the lime in betwýeen pass quickly, tle thing la do is ta use tle lime? Use the lime in productive work, in regular waork, in atîacking yaur job with new strengîl and zeal. Use tle lime la develap lIat idea you've tabled for sa long. Use tle lime ta dlean up that mass cf anerous detaîl you've been despising for go long. Use tle lime to make another call, 10 write anotheir leiter, la lay more brick. The best way 10 kîll ile is ta uIse it! Wlen you want time la go, reverse yosir position and suddenly consider it as if you wanted ilta stayl Just imagine that the distant point of pleasul'e or- relaxation is, right et liand, and tlen put inta tle rensamniîg hlou1s of work, the zest. île gusto, tle joy, you intend tb put Int the play. This Is the prartical way la kilIuie. If bine pie- gents such a terrible prablem, take tle casiest way ta solve that problern. The best way to kill! unie is 10 use It! Foiiow this plan and youlIl learn that tlere's no jand pa. Yaou -i, be using the working haurs and kill- ing the playing lours and at last know that al l ours are alike and they are aIl joyful! Reduction in Hydro Rates The annouilcemnent made last week of a reduction in Hydro rates for both domestic and commercial usera came as very welcome news to citizens in gen- eral. So much lias been said, in tlie way cf criticism about the Public Utilities Comimission. than an an- nouncement of this kind renews tlie faith that the majority of citizens had in its membership. Under the capable management of Mr. Geo. E. Chase the Commission lias made a marked success cf ils operation of this utility. Mr. Cliase served in a similar capacity before Bowmanville purchased its plant anîd tlie Ontario Hydro Commission lad every faith in lis abiiity. As we pointed out last week tlils announcement slould set at rest mucli of tle criticism iliat has been directed at tle Commission. Its members are working gratis in the interests of the public and there is no reason for thein to do otlerwise than operate Ihis utility for the benef il cf ail. An important part of this announcement, and one that slows plainly the abiiity of the commission 10 grasp tle opportunities of improving the financial structure of the system, was tlie payment of a large block cf debentures out cf profits.As was pointed out this provided a considerable saving in interest 10 liydro users and was a gond business move in every way. There lias been a determined attempt made in re- cent weeks to discredit the Utilities Commission, more particularly perlaps on its waterworks policy.. But the fine operation of its Hydro utility slould give citi- zens every faith in the commission that il is and will liandle the waterworks systema in just as capable a manner. Il is 10 be hoped that the continuaI sniping aI tle commission will now cease. Candidate for a Senate Vacancy A despatdli in a daily paper recently referred tc fact tlat before a general election in Canada, Pi ier Bennett las sýeveral seats in the Senate te Following out the policy always observed le will 1i fill these vacancies with members cf lis own p ical party and we migît suggest to tle Prime MU ter that the selection of Fred W. Bowen, M. P., w meet wvitl popular favor in Durham. Mr. Bowen given conscienticus service 10 the county le las presented since 1922. He lias been a member of erai important committees in tle House, and made an lonest effort to aid his native county ir requirements. Mr. Bowen is popular not only witli follower lis own political party. but the mnembers of oi parties. He gave many years of fine service t0 community and 10 his county previaus ta entering Dominion field. and lis li:e las been largely gi avec to service for others. His appointment therefore ta one of île vac senate seats would be more than popular. He earned this lionor by lis lard and faitîful work, we hope that Premier Bennett, in considering filling of these seats will remember Mr. Bowen,j also Durham whicl las not lad a Senator in county since tle deatli 0f tle late Senator R.

Busin, las toa long lacked ihis type of friendliness betwe campetitors in business, and we believe that this b played no small part in brlnging about tle unlealt business praclises we read so much about. In ane deavour t-o beat cnes competiler aI ariy costs fa] advertising and bad business praclises lave been p into effect. After aIl in Bowmanville Ilere is pler 0f business for two lecal bakers. The trouble lere is the case in many other tons, is that iacî mai cutside bakers are allowed 10 roam aour streets witloi paying one cent in taxes. True they may contribu same small sum to relief, but tIaI is like the persc wlo thinks lie does something great if le gives h church a $2.00 bill once a year, while some poor( persan is regularly contributing wlat in tle aggrE gale is a great deal more, but whicl does flot loin 50, big in ils weekly offering. Unfriendliness and slarp-practises between coin petilars in business have been tle cause 0f a gre-a many business troubles. Only recenily it was braugh te our attention that a certain man was trying t, make a gocd fellow of himself, (and incidentally iak ing arders> by spreading prapaganda against his coin petitors.

In tle course 0f time the railroad man wenî back t0 rail- roading, and again Hadlock was ri about wlere le lad started frori. at 3.

Also, tlîey made Hadlork resolve ta shun partnerships and aller fut- î le and impoverishing alliances. Now le bougît a 65-acre farm, înaking a very small down-pay- S ment.

I wish that this book could be put mbt the hands of every unemploy- ed man in this country. As a tax- payer I would be very wiiling that tle State sliould buy and distribute this quite fascinating and stimulat- ing book. Il is a back-to-tle-land book. It tells liow a university pro- fessoî'. at age 62. got lis "second wînid"-low h le rescued himisclf f ron his own despair, and from a pligli wliidh seemied for a time to be hope- less. Hadilock lad been a professor of ntathemaics-a fine mnan. Ther the crash came-how and why is unîmportant for the purposes of this contribution to The Statesman. Hadlock was stripped clean - of worldly possessionis and of kindred. For a tiie le was dazed. He liad to live. and lie tried miany ways o f earning a living-bookkeepiiîg. door- to-door selling. and other things. But at these jobs he wvas not a great success. He wanted to create some- thing-to do samnething wortl whle -to lay foundations on which le could rear something enduring. And in lis htingering lie turned to the Great Moler-the soil.
