HP R h5 The liquor business in Quebec is a legal businessâ€" a business which is interested in mainâ€" taining law and order. It is a part of the Govâ€" ernment. It is the last business in the Province which should have any truck or tradeâ€"or symâ€" pathyâ€"with lawlessness. In fact, we in Quebec should be particularly careful to remove from the American mind, and from the minds of our felâ€" Jowâ€"Canadians in the. Prohibition Provinces, every trace of suspicion that, because we have deâ€" cided to handle the liquor question in our own way, we have the smallest sympathy with disâ€" order, drunkenness, defiance of the law or any of the discreditable features of "the traffic.‘" We think that we have found the best way to eliminâ€" ate themâ€"â€"that is all. We are as far as possible from winking at them. f 4 The Ottawa Government will be acting in aceord with the wishes of the great majority of our people in going into Conference with the _ American Government to discover and coâ€"operate ‘in measures calculated to curb "rumâ€"running" across the American border. It would be intolerâ€" able for us to be so much as suspectedâ€"of symâ€" pathy with lawâ€"breaking. Laws may be criticizâ€" ed, but never/disregarded.. The American nation has adopted a fixed policy toward liquor imporâ€" tation, and it is out dutyâ€"in, so far as lies within our powerâ€"to help them carry it out. _ _ _ That the shareholders of the Home Bank will be called upon to pay double liability and that the depositors will with difficulty receive the full amount of their savings is now the view of some of thosé familiar with the situation, No matter what the conditions, there will be a general deâ€" mand that depositors shall be protected. The Canadian and American Governments should be able to tighten up very considerably the cordon along the American border. _ They ought at all events to stamp out the bruteâ€"force lawlessness which, we are told, accompanies and gives most of its success to the outlaw trade of rumâ€"running. If a fraction of the things which are writtenâ€"and not deniedâ€"about the methods and manners of these rumâ€"runners is true, they conâ€" stitute a serious and shameful indictment of the lawâ€"abiding character of our two peoples. Secret smuggling is one thing, but open defiance of the law with loaded trucks, guarded by loaded revolâ€" vers, is quite another. Neither Washington nor Ottawa can permit that. conditionâ€"if it exists outside of the imaginations of the writersâ€"to continue. v Don‘t worry! . Work!~ This alone will reâ€" move depression and restore normal conditions. _ There is a story told of the effective reforma tion of a bootlegger and the turning of an unâ€" desirable place into a ‘valuable and respectable wayside stopping place.> The proprictor for sevâ€" eral years had operated as a bootlegger with some success in spite of heavy fines and a term in priâ€" son. The place had a bad name. Those who never frequented it were familiar with its methâ€" ods. License inspectors, spotters and police maâ€" gistrates were unable to remove the nuisance.,Six good citizens decided to try their hand. They went to the landlord, told him they knew that he was defying the law and was therefore a menace to the country, and that they had decided to see that the taw was enforced even if to do so they found it necessary to . put him in\ jail and keep him there "until he learned wisdom., . He was given a chance to clean up the premises, drive out the harlots and other lawâ€"breaking habitues and make a fresh start. He promised to do so, kept his word an‘d is today enjoying the profitable patronage of lawâ€"abiding people.. Business men can drive the otlegsers _ out of .every small town and city of ic to do so and follow ired to above. So when Washington asks us to help its agents maintain respect for law on this Conâ€" tinent, ‘our response should be cordial and sinâ€" cere.â€"Montreal Star. . This is the attitude of the British Governâ€" ment. Great Britain may not feel able to scrap so long established a regulation as the threeâ€" mile limit for national control at sea, but she will certainly go just as far as she dare in enâ€" couraging the Americans to exercise their "right of search" to diminish the danger of liquor smugâ€" gling into their territory. . Though the smugglers fly the British flag and though there is an almost instinctive and universal tendency to regard smuggling of any sort as a venal offence, the sympathy of the British and Canadian peoples is not at all with the criminals who endanger life and defy law and order in order to violate a proâ€" perly enacted American law, . To those who have no coal in their bins for the coming winter statistics furnish very cold comfort. But it is well to know that according to a statement issued last week by the Dominion Bureau Canada, in the event of a strike taking place, will be much better off this year than last. Between April and August this year Canada imâ€" ported $1,900,000 tons of anthracite and 5,9000,000 tons of bituminous coal, the statement said. Durâ€" ing the same period last year the imports were 312,000 and 2,345,000 tons. It has often been said that one can prove anyâ€" thing by statistics. Here is a case: One set of politicians in the United States argue that the present tariff is excessively high, while the other contends it is moderate. â€" Each relies upon the figures showing imports for the year. In the one case the duty collected upon all importations is calculated and upon the other on those importaâ€" tions that are subject to duty. For eight months of the Fordney tariff the total imports, $3,461,â€" 683,014 ; revenue collected, $511,906,352 ; Average advalorem rate on all imports, 14.78 per cent. Total dutiable importations,$1,471,242,640 ;revenâ€" ue collected, $511,906,352 ; average advalorem on dutiable imports, 34.79 per cent. = &Â¥drtornal _ _ smmmasmisus j ‘fi‘/ TWO STOP THE RUMâ€"RUNNING The Bank of Hamilton has been absorbed by ‘the Canadian Bank of Commerce. The announceâ€" ment made on Tuesday that negotiations had been completed, and that the Minister of Finance had consented to the merger, was a great sutrâ€" prise to the business world. The brief statement of th President, showing that the bank is perâ€" fectly solvent, that no inconvenience will be ocâ€" casioned depositors, and that the ‘action taken "will place the amalgamated bank in an impregâ€" nable position, with a paid up capital of $20,000,â€" 000 and a reserve fund of equal amount," will satisfy the public that the wise course has been pursued. Nevertheless, the fact that four banks have found it necessary to make new arrangeâ€" ments during the past few months is a warning to all those in business that care and economy must be practideduin_dealings, small and great. "We have no use for kings" was one~of the items in the news features at Canadian picture theatres the past week. It was an American newspaper item, of course, but such statements, like everything else thrown upon the sereen, leaves an impression upon the minds of the young people who see them from night to night.â€" Canadian censors should cut out all this stuff. f DThe Pennsylvania Railroad system divided up each dollar of its income during 1922. These, it appears, are the facts in the case: 5141 cents out of each dollar went directly into the pay roll of the company, 17.07 were used for material and supplies, 7.72 were needed to cover bond interest and other fixed charges, and 7.29 were swallowed up by locomotive fuel, while taxes took 4.45,â€" deâ€" preciation 2.58, loss, damage and similar eventualâ€" ities 2.31, and equrpment and joint facility rents 1.52. This left a surplus of just 5.56 cents for diâ€" vidends, etc. Wages, it will be noted, consumed over oneâ€"half the sum paid by the public to the rAilway. f _ This system originated in bituminous mining as a deduction from wages made by the companâ€" ies at the request of workers to pay their own representatives chosen to verify and check up the weight of coal produced. It has developed into a source of enormous revenue, conservatively estiâ€" mated at $17,000,000 a year. This furnishes a treâ€" mendous fund which union officials can use, as is charged, to perpetuate their leadership, and which distutrbers bent on boring the union from within might use for malign ends. The checkâ€"off system has not been extended to anthracite fields as yet, the opetators having determinedly combatted its introduction.. But if it shall be, it would so vastâ€" ly increase the strike funds of the unions that the only safety for the public might be their comâ€" pulsory incorporation and enforeed publicity of their use of funds. s One is safe in saying that thousands of peoâ€" ple who years ago never thought of relating reâ€" ligion with business are now convinced, that it must have a vital place in all business conduct, and is essential to real prosperity. A noted staâ€" tistician has shown that 80 per cent. of the busiâ€" ness buildings of the United States are owned by active church memlyers; that 62 per cent. of the industrial concerns are in the hands of religious men; that 76 per cent. of the bank savings are in the names of church people, and that 81 per cent. of the people owning farms are regular attendants at church. »One. might assert that church membership is not evidence of possessing real religion or being ecthical in businmess.. Even allowing a little discount along that line, the figâ€" ures are still convincing. The American Federal Department of Labor finds that stoveâ€"size anthracite costs consumers more this year than last; and approximately 100 per cent. more than before the war, whereas food is only about 45 per cent. above 1914 prices. The additional $2 a day demanded by the miners would increase the cost of coal at least a dollar and probably more; for operators, carriers, jobâ€" bers and retailers would pass on every cent of it to purchasers. ~_â€" Itdis not certain as yet that a strike will ocâ€" cur, but if it does it may be set down at highly probable that a considerable per cent. of hard coal users will make permanent artrangements to use bituminous coal. It seemswreasonable also to exâ€" pect, in case of a strike, legislation affecting fuel of a radical and revolutionary kind. Operators and miners both stand in greater fear of this than they‘ admit. Beneath their blustering and atâ€" tempts to fix responsibiliy on the other party is the not illâ€"found> apprehension that when Conâ€" gress does take action it will be thoroughâ€"going, sweeping, and may even take the whole coal inâ€" dustry out of their hands. IThe time for temâ€" porizing is generally felt to have passed. The least that would happen would be to cut royalties, profits, transportation charges down, and probabâ€" ly settle the personal contention over the checkâ€" off system in a way the union leaders would little like. Canada‘s national debt is $26%.77 per head. That of Great Britain is nearly three times that amount. . Canadians have $1,750,000,000 invested in Canadian Government bonds. They also have $1,250,000,000 in the savings banks and half a million in demand deposits in the banks. The savings banks deposits are $33,000,000 greater than they were a yeat ago. If every man and woman in Canada will have faith in themselves and in their country, will stop wasting time on frivolities and go to work as in the days gone by, an era of prosperity never before experienced will soon dawn. _ Thus miners and operators alike have someâ€" thing to fear and something to lose, and cogent reasons for getting together before the governâ€" ment brings them both to book. ‘ Don‘t spend all your money at the Exhibiâ€" tionâ€"think of the coal bin. j THE COAL SITUATION THE TIMES AND GUIDE,\ WESTON | On Saturday, Sept. the 8th, a sale of homeâ€"made baking will be held unâ€" der the auspices of the Altar Chapter in St. John‘s Church School Roomy Main St., at three p.m. The proceeds will be in aid of the Organ Fund.
