%"Ma,nitoba Eree Press: We have had so any gentlemen connected with the Governâ€" Ent making uplifting speeches about what a gorous immigration policy was just about dawnâ€"immigrants, real immigrants, in perâ€" ln, not pictures, being all the while so scarce to be curiositiesâ€"that further speeches E;out this new and vigorous policy leave the untry rather indifferent. The stage has long en passed when announced intentions will use much interest; it is performance that is anted ; and while Mr. Stewart is undoubtedly ing the right thing, it won‘t be until the n on incomes naye Dbeen made as an econâ€" ie measure. In Canada the situation is re difficult, owing to the heavy annual deâ€" if in the National Railway, which absorbs irctically the whole of the income tax. There pressing need, however, for a lowering of ;ation, but just#*how it is to be done is a xing problem. _It is high time that public opinion conâ€" imned this trickery and set its face sternly ainst petty smuggling. | If a sufficient numâ€" r of citizens would speak boldly in condemâ€" ition of this sort of thing, the practise would l1 into disrepute. It is grossly unfair to our cal merchants and storekeepers and should t be countenanced.â€"Montreal Star. he «€skimos are becoming enthusiastic o fans, according to Captain J. C.

If the Government has brought 200,000 immigrants as the result of its imâ€" ration plans, it will get the credit to which ill be entitled. But meantime the country ts to see. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are lost Canada every year through the activities of tty smugglers. Taken individually, the loss the State of the duty on a few packets of garettes, a dress or an article of personal lornment is small, but when the fraud is reâ€" ated thousands of times every week the gregate is serious. _ YÂ¥et even in the aggregate the loss to the ate is not so serious a matter as the loss of stom to the local merchants. ‘This petty uggling is thus a double act of treachery to e country. The goods which are purchased foreign cities are ofter bought with money rned by Canadian labor in Canada which ight be used more profitably to the country the purchase of Canadian goods. Thus both e Customs Department and the Canadian rchant are seriously injured by the petty uggler. There is a large body of men and women this country who never cross the internaâ€" mal boundary to return home without bringâ€" z a dress or two, a piece of goods, some arâ€" le of personal adornment of a few packets cigarettes, which! they smuggle past the inâ€" Ectors. Women make special journeys to w York or other American cities to make rchases, evading payment of the dutiecs of ich piece of trickery they subsequently ast as a triumph of particular smartness. Goods fine enough in texture and beauâ€" ul enough in color and design to satisfy the st acsthetic taste can be bought in Canada, : products of Canadian brains and Canadian or.. The boast of having goods "direct from w York" is the justification of too many men for paying an exorbitant price, not so ich because the purchase is stronger, finer more beautiful,, but because it invests, the rchaser with a cachet of wealth or travel. If Canadians insist on having foreignâ€"made ods, they should purchase them from repuâ€" le stores, which will assure thein that the ods have paid the duty demanded by law. t it must not be forgotten that while the iftsmen of other countriecs, may excel those Canada in certain specialized lines, they n out no better goods in ninety per cent. of _output of their factories. Vet, apart from the lack of patriotism ich the craze for "imported goods" implies, re is a greater disloyalty when purchasers ide the payment of duties. Morally, such ions are indefensible.

The Times wants to know how far strangers should be permitted or encourâ€" aged to skate on ice not their own. A sheet of water for the rest of the year may be for all practical purposes private property, says the Times, but when frozen over it suddenly becomes popular and populous; its privacy has become publicity, â€"and the reflection is provoked what an altered country it would be Additional grants for education and road construction is tresponsible for \the greater part of the increase, and ratepayers are crying for still further grants for these and other deâ€" serving objects, but the time for a halt has come. All bodies having the power to spend should curtail as far as possible until some considerable portion of present indebtedness is liquidated or the population vastly increasâ€" ed. f In a recent issue the London Free Press discusses "Civic Patriotism." What applies to those tesponsible for city management apâ€" plics with equal forcee to those of towns and fural municipalitiecs. The article is as folâ€" fows :â€" The newly elected . municipal representaâ€" tives enter upon their duties at once.. "IThe work they are entrusted with is of the greatest importance. In recent years public debt has increased at an alarming rateâ€"a rate out, of all proportion to the advance in population. The federal burden is greater because of the war, it is true. I‘he provincial expenditure has increased sevenfold and,rural municipal expenditure fourfold in a few years,,. Townâ€" ship spending in Ontario shows the following growth in the years named: The Christian church can do much to help foster that type of Christian patriotism . which will make our cities not only commercially but morally great. She must develop men who will have a vision to see the sacredness/and solemnity of obligations of citizenship, and who will be willing to accept public office as a sacred trust. Our duty to the city and_ the commonwealth should be performed as a moral obligation. We recognize that in a country as young as Canada private interests are pressing, but tohonestly serve in the building up of a new country surely should make a strong appeal to the imagination. We have no ancient history to glory over, but we have a future to face and to have a share in layâ€" ing the foundations truly and well is a greater thing than simply struggling to make a fortune by concentrating on one‘s "private interests." _A noted man once visited America and after studyâ€" ing its spirit said: "If, shipwreck should ever befall your country, the rock upon which it will split will be your devotion to your private inâ€" terests, at the expense of your duty to the state." This spirit has suffocated the growth of many a city. The claim of Christian patriotism is that the public good is as important as private gain and sometimes the latter should be sacrificed for the former. In touching municipal affairs, Josiah Strong has said: "We are afflicted with bad citiâ€" zenship of good men; we expect bad‘ men to be bad citizens, but when good men are bad citizens, public interests ‘go to the bad‘ with a rush." Happy is the city that possesses a civic pride, a fraternal community spirit, high ideals for its future destiny, and which is willing to sacrifice that the highest and holiest principles of life may flourish. Such cities will surely shine like. jewels that will adorn the brow â€"of Canadian prosperity and blessing. In the past the men of the ecountry have had an influential place in molding the destinies of our national life. | In Canada they still have a large place for years to come, but it is safe to say we are entering upon a period when the city will have an increasing influence in the councils of the‘nation. How essential, then, that our cities be well governed. If the scepter.of power is to be held by the cities of the nation, then it must be held in the spirit of service for allâ€"classes and not in selfâ€"interest; in the spirit of Godliness and not greed; it must sway for the good of all and not for the glory of the few. | ol What we need toâ€"day, then, is a Christian civic patriotism, which will be broad, courageous, persistent and pure. A patriotism that frowns down on selfâ€"interest; a patriotism that does not breed the sectional spirit, but which exalts. the community and where the needs of any one seeâ€" tion become the interests of all. Christian paâ€"~ triotism calls for a disinterested devotion to the general welfare of the citizens. In such an atâ€" mosphere no class should have to organize to fight for its rights, for Christian patriotism canâ€" not be confined to a class, or to certain "interâ€" ests," but will be as wide as the kingdom of God and the need of human life. Apparently to the\Greek, mind. a man who took no keen interest in the welfare of his city or state, was mentally, deficient, and a man who had the franchise and failed to use it was ranked as a fool . Weâ€"must admit the Greeks had conâ€" siderable common sense, and what better definiâ€" tion could we give the actions of some selfâ€"cenâ€" tered malcontents who stay at home when the issues are being decided and then "knock the city" after the men are elected.to carry, on its affairs? To be called an "idiot". is a dire insult to any selfâ€"respecting citizen. It could do no other thar arouse anger, especially when we know it stands for a human being "born abnormally defective in intellectual capacity; one nearly or quite destiâ€" tute of intellectual capacity.". We are reminded, however, if we pass by the dictionary and go back to New Testament Greek, that it means not one more mentally deficient, but a person who is unlearned or uncultured, devoid of education. But, again, if you push back into Classic Greek, long before the New Testament was written, you find the world often used and its most frequent use was in referring to "a private citizen who showed no personal interest in the state." In the light of that definition are there not people in every Canadian city a trifle "idiotic?" _ 1905 1915 1920 1923 CIVIC PATRIOTISM $.5,981,125 11,519, 136 19,292,858 23.678. 115 â€"_THE TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON b¢ E. .
