JUDGING 1S IN ORDER The church is moved, very properly, to put the youth, of both' sexes, un- der a pledge against the nse of in- intoxicants, of tobacco and 'profanity, and not too soon-and-with tos 'much | vigour. . Liquor has its place, as a medicine, in every community, and if | it. was only used as a medicine there would ot be much of it But it is because one sees the harmful effects' of it in social life, and through habits unfortunately contracted, that people are nerved to fight it all they can. 3 and as hurtful. No one who studies the subjeét can igmore the results of tobacco upon the nerves of the young, and especially the. cigarefle smoking. There may be some excuse for smok- ing--na physician opece told the writer that there was wonderful solace in pipe--but, thefe is no justifieation for "the injury "that wm eigarette fiend brings "tipon him#alt. So that the safety of "the individual lied in theiabstinence from tobacco if general, and the one who does not burn the weed, in any form, is the healthiest and the hap- pipst dne. Finally, there is ground for 'a most aggressive campaign against profane ity. This is 'not only hurtful to the character and the morals, but is vul- gar and uncouth, and should be out of the language of every one. man or woman, who walks down the | street during any evening is shocked by the lapguage he and boys, and if examples were made of a few ollendérs, by the pelice, who oust hear the profanity are deaf, there would publicly. used. they | of it , unless be less HOW MUCH. NEEDED The. senate . committes on health in New York has under comn- sideration a bill to prevent the sale | of all habit-forming drugs exeept on prescription properly filled out by a practicing physician and by a licensed | pharmacist, who shall keep a record | ®of all moh sales. The record to show the date of the sale, the name and address of the physician giving . the prescription, and the name address of the person prescribed for. The bill provides also that no ge han publie | eription shall be filled more once, the purpose. being to prevent | jllcit dealers and addicts from bav- ing a single prescription refilled over | and over agai ta" obtain the drugs for themselves or others or for 're- shle to hebitiial 'users. In addition | it makes it it uhlawfuf for any person to sell at rétail or to furnish to' any | person other than a duly licensed physician, dentist, or veterinarian a hypodermic syringe or a hvpoder- mic needle without first receiving from the purchaser an official preseription blank properly: filled out.

It is to stop this that the law is pro- jected in New York state, and for the sake of humanity it is hoped it will be passed and successlully enfonced. -------------- POLITICAL PXTENSION WORK The disposition of some members of parliament to leave the capital at times, make addresses on public subjects, 'is highly commended by the Montreal Mail. these members are engaged 'in a laudable public service. They are doing what may be termed extension work, and work that does them and the people they serve a great deal of good. All. that is studied in Ottawa may be called politics, but there are sub jects. which can be elaborated in a general and non-partizan way, and educational advantages of this course cannot be too highly commend- to ed.

BOARD OF TRADE BANQUET The Board of Trade is to be con- gratulated upon the manner in which it has comtributed to the education of the people through the addresses fot those who spoke af. the anmmial banguet. It was a rare treat which the speakers of the evening provided, and it is to be regretted that people missed if, disadvantage. Dr. Robertson showed himseli be a man of vision, of faith in his country and its possibilities. His was the development of life, of character, of power inthe individ- ual, and in the elucidation of subject he touched upon'the things { be had seen in the course of the many - months. he had spent abroad, fas a member of the C on Technical ¥ducation. These things { had affected © his mind and judgment. The process of education has been { changed a great deal in the course of 'years, and sometimes people were disposed to think that in Ontario it lis about perfect. It is far from { this. The -people of the dlder lands, | Europe, have long since changed their ' methods for the better, and with the result that the working classes | are being fitted as mever hefore for e duties of life, and she young { people are being interested in = their | work and in the vocationd#l study that attends it. Altogether the | address wus a revelation of what | may be expected as Dr. Robertson's recommendations are being carried in- ito effect by the federal and provincial | governments: Mr. Macleay, of Oswego, gave a ! splendid insight into what can be {done with a little concerted efforf, in the way of civic development. wego has taken on new life, with Leity planning, = and Kingston, Iso beautifully situated, could be I made a place of great. attraction and {interest if the citizens believed in fits future and laboured for its suc- {cess. Mr. Macleay's talk, with that of Ald. Harrison, on tourist travel, suggested ways and means by which the masses could co-operate to the very best advantage, and under the inspiration thus afforded it is only ! reasonable. to expect that the city will grow_and that with its develop- ment there will be new life and ac- tivity. The pr the Brockville Board of Trade, Mr. Storey, dem- onstrated that in some respects our neighboring city is advanced in its ideas.' It has taken firm ground in community work, and'in techmical education . and public school play grounds, and all that they imply, has made very con¥iderable progress. | This comparing of notes is a capital § Hed It shows a city what it = is 'and what it ought to be, and as a result of last night's survey King- he promising.
