A man that habitually uses strong and violent lcnguage, dashed with pro- fanityâ€"expands it on small thingsâ€"â€" comes to the time when he‘will find his supply of strong-speech inade- quate to express something really de- serving of emphasis. Those yellowish journals which blush blood over a little skirmish at war outposts; that splash their pages with red ink and big type‘ over trifles, when the-real war'neWS comes won’t have any materials for sen- sational effects left. We have so far had only trifles ; but one of these days, news of, perhaps, the world’s biggest and bloodiest battle will come. Then how will the sensationaljournals be able to tell it with corresponding eflect compared with their blood-stained ex- ploitation of skirmishes? The British journals show a fine restraint. Visitors in London say that from the appearanceand contents of the newspapers, one would hardly know there was a great war afoot fewer than fifty miles away. These journals are really patriotic. They are silent and subdued because premature publication of military and naval movements would be playing into the hands of the enemy. ' In one evening Toronto paper we see the news, evidently a “scoop,” prominently displayed â€"â€"featured ~â€" that “six million dollars (in gold) are now in -Ottawa.” Would not the knowledge of this thus emphasized, tend toxincite the Eisnegnies of Great Britain 'a'nd Canada to}, ‘attempt‘ to get at this gold and watch the ways of transportation to intercept._other ship- ments, The sound philosophy of the sayingaâ€"rfla, close tongue makes a wise head" applies to newspapers as well as to boys. The itch for sensation that sacrifices substantial" interests, is a poor kind of patriotism, for news- papers, that juding by their columns, have cornered patriotism as the Phar- isaic Kaiser Seems to have cornered piety, ) . a. s. c.

Cleans Carpets A good story reaches us of the in- credulity of a certain opulent London stock broken when first the war clouds began to lower on the European hori- zon. “Pshaw!” he exclaimed, “there cannot be any big European war. The thing is impdssible. It would dislocate all business.” Characteristi- cally, and almost pathetically, it seemed to him that, while the sun and moon endured, business should not be dislocated. , And, indeed, the letting loose of war’s elemental forces has changed, or modified the viewpoint of a good many. There is one aspect of this titanic struggle which cannot be over- looked. However it'endsâ€"and it can only end in one wayâ€"_--one of its. re- sults must be a. great strengthening of the Socialistic idea. Socialism is al- ready strong in Germanyâ€"its roots are deep there. In the hour of Ger- many’s defeat, with the shattering of: militarism, that'idol‘ with feet of clay, ' and with the downfall, maybap, of the. Hohenzollern dynasty, and the whole scheme of thingsâ€"things autocratic, aristocratic, bureaucraticâ€"with which that dynasty is bounds upfiit cannot but be. that Socialism'must receive an immense accretion of strengths . Nor will it be in Germany alone. that a1 by-product, it not an actual result of this war, months to give a tremendous impetus to the Socialistie ideaâ€"we do not say to Socialism of any particular school, but ,to the "gen- eral idea that the necessities of the community as a whole must override Brighteps Floors order. a tin tmday at your grocer-s. or from ‘ "' your hardware man ’ - l Don’t ask. for sweeping compound.

Bantams m - MlLLINERYL by law, of the indiri‘dual. ,In nearly every land the .war is causing the W‘Prights of property” to be somewhat less rigidly and reverently regarded ‘ than they were before its outbreak. The moratorium proclaimed in Great Britain is an illustration of this. The State actually interfered with “business arrangements,” and that, too, in the very stronghold of business itself. It dared to violate the sanctity of contracts, to postpone the payment ‘ of debts, and that in a 'country where not to pay twenty shillings in the pound, when due, is to be lost, indeed. In Germany itself the people’s sav- ings have been appropriated by the State. And it is likely that in other lands the same course may be followed, if the sinews of war show signs of failure. In Great Britain, in Canada, and elsewhere, public opinion is set- ting strongly in favor of legislative enactment precluding the possibility of a limited number of men making, or largely adding to, huge fortunes out of the transformed conditions which war brings in its trainâ€"by “corner- ing” produce, or inflating the cost of living, to their own profit and the community’s detriment, in other ways. To the question, “May I not .do what I. will with mine ownâ€"even in war time?” a decided negative is being re- turned. Of coursethis high-handed way of regarding the “sacred rights of prop- erty” is justified ‘by reasonof the exi- gencies of war. But, the war over, will not “the common people” be more alive to the ‘fact that peace- has her exigencies tool That the well-being of the community must, in the last re- sort, be'paramount over individual in- terestsâ€"that is one-of the lessons which the war seems to be inculcating. And there will be a large number of, pupils apt to learn that lesson. Women's Institute. The Fenelon Falls branch of the Women’s Institute held their regular meeting on Friday afternoon, August 21st, at the summer home of Miss K. Dickson at Rosedale. There was .a good attendance of members,» and sev- eral \isitors were welcomed. The rooms. were prettily decorated with asters, golden glow and maple leaves, Miss B. Abbott, President, conducted the meeting, which was- opened by singing “The Maple Leaf.” The min- utes of last meeting were read and adopted, after which the Secretary read a communicatidn from the Dis- trict Secretary regarding a joint pic- nic, and a donation to the Rest Room .1111 Lindsay. . It was decided that the members were in favor of holding a joint picnic with West Victoria, and also of donating the sum of $3.00 to the Rest Room. A circular from the Superintendent of Institutes, Mr, Put- nam, was read by the President re- garding the question of Women’s In- stitutes. in relation to the war. Mr. Putnam urges contributions to the Canadian Red Cross fund, and sug- gests sending the following articles :â€" Pillows and pillow slips, flannel shirts, handkerchiefs, cholera belts, socks and mending kits. It was decided that an entertainment be held .on August 27th :in Dickson’svl-Iall, the proceeds to be in aid ’of the Red Cross Society of Canada. A good '- musical pro- gramme was given, chiefly by guests, Mr. Kenneth Newell giving aselection on the mandolin, which was much on joyed. Vocal solos were'given by Mr. Lumsden and Master Taylor, both of which were highly appreciated. Ex- cellent papers were given by Miss Abbott and Mrs. James Bamboo the subject, “The Influence of Environ ment’,’ followed by a. discussion. The next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. A_. Minthorne, a committee being appointed, consisting of Mrs. W. H. VVelch, Mrs. James Lamb, Mrs. L. Townley and Mrs. Carrie Welch. The. subject chosen for next meeting was the timely one of “How to Save Expenses,” Refreshments were served aster- the meeting, which was brought to a close by singing the National Anthem.
