Loyalty to the free institutions of the British Empire is but layalty to nne’s self. Ne honest man can escape the clear fact that in return for the benefits 01' eitizenship he must be may to zit-cont the discharge of some responsibilities. To take all and to give nothing is the policy of a piker.

This War in its essence. is a battle for the rights of the weakâ€"for the redemption of the deported Bel- gium worker, no less than for the right of the small nations to exist- (Ence unmolost-ed. It is the first great war “by the people, of the people and for the people.” It is a conflict be~ tween 8, System and Democracy. If Democracy wins, the worker has ev- erything to hope for. If it loses, he has lost all the slow gains of con- turies. ¢ men are taken into (-ustody and later sent to the front line trenches because they are “SUSPECTED of. being about to commit disinyal acts or utter disloyul words.” There is so vast a difl’erenee between the. freedom and the privileges accorded men in differ- ent eonntries that it would seem that in a country like the British Empire where liberty and right are founded for all and broaden year by year for all that. every man would give the deepest devotion and fidelity to the institutions that guarantee .hixn these Magazines. For instance, as a reason for refus- ing to give the Government the ne- zessary information asked for on the National Service Cards, one man hands out; this s<n*-ond-haml piece of goods: “That the workingman should not bother his head about countries, because there is no (Inference for him Z‘n any country, all countries oppress- ing him and using hing unjustly." 'lt would be interesting, perhaps, to hear the heartfelt opinion of a deported Belgian worker on this manufactured article. In no enemy «wintry dare a worker even voice such a suggestion. In Germany they have even institut- ed “preventative arrests," wherebyj Every new call for patriotic effort or service has caused a boom in the business of the Excuse Factory, and just at present there seems to he a special demand for the cleverly-de- signed but flimsy goods turned out. The request of the National Service Commission for information "that may lead to the better organization ol.’ the industrial resources of the country has brought forth many new designs and u re-mmping of many old ones. The trouble with these goods, how- ever, is that THEY \VILL NOT ."I‘AND TH E W JAR. Sim-o the war commenced one of Canada’s'husicst industries has been the “making of" ('onuses.” If many men had given the same ingenuity and devotion to a whole-hearted effort to win tho war that, they have spent in discovering pretended reasons why they should not do their part, the. war lo-(lay would be much nearer truly won.

Here the settlers will receive help and instruetion particularly adapted to the requirements and needs of the North Land. Aeeording to Hon. Mr. Ferguson; the training sehool will be. used as the starting point for his big plan to settle soldiers upon 'the land. At‘ter the war, re- turned soldiers who wish to take up farming will be enrolled at the new training school for the necessary training and instruction. The eom- munity" plan is largely to be follow- ed t'or soeial and general reasons, and when a sutlieient number is enrolled to warrant. going ahead with actual settlement, the training sehool will then be more fully opened for the use ol’ the general settlers.

The late Mr. Loughrin was one of the outstanding figures in Northern Ontario for many years past. His oompanionahle qualities, his humor and his ability as a man were no less evident than his faithfulness in many offices of public trust. After repre- senting the District of Nil’nssing for 16 years in the Ontario Legislature with credit to himself and benefit to the riding, he was appointed Judge of the same District to succeed the late Judge Doran. Later, Mr. Lough- rin served a term as one of the Trans- continental Railway Commissioners under the Laurier Government. Some years ago he retired from active pub- lic life to devote his attention to his own interests. John Loughrin, formerly a promi- nent Liberal member of the Legisla- ture, representing the District of Nip- issing for many years in the Ontario House, died at his home in Mattawa on January 23nd. At the time of death he. was in his 64th year. Three years ago he suffered injury in a fall and never fully recovered his health, though death was directly attributa- ble to heart trouble.
