SIR ERNEST SHACKLETON, i Shackleton is dead. Dead after a {single day of illness. Dead on the trail of new discovery far from the {haunts of civilization. Dead at for | ty-elght years of age. We may as- | | sume that death had no terrors for { him, He had companioned with {death many a time and for months | together. He had seen fellow voy- agers conquered by the great enemy time and time again. 'He had defied death in a hundred ways; {or his was the unconquerable apirit of ad- venture, dauntléess and heroic, and in this he is the lineal descentant of that her- oic British breed from Drgka to Captain Scott whose contributions to scientific research and to the litera- ture of adventure has made the Drit- ish Empire what it is, Cheerful, resourceful, ecuragcous and devoted to the highest standards of exploration was Captain Scott's tribute to Shackleton when #€t the age of twenty-seven he shipped as a third lieutenant under his command, In 1907 Shackieton commanded an expedition of his own, and though he did not actually reach the South Pole, he came miles nearer it than any man had done up to that time, and was less than a hundred miles from the pole when, by the irony of fate, he had to turn back. On this expedition he did re-locate the mag- netic pole, He also explored and photographed the great active vol- |cano of the South polar region, Mount Erebus. The scientific data supplied from this expedition alone has been of incalculabls values. For sheer adventure anda heroism we doubt if any explorer has passed on a greater experisuce.

And this at a time of depression, when their efforts should have been directed to lessening the burden in- stead of making it heavier, The ut- ter disregard of the people's inter- ests has aroused a storm of protest and has awakened a resentment that will find expression at the polls on Monday, The voters now have the opportunity of punishing the wa- chine and its candidate by casting a vote for R. F. Elliott. Don't give the machine another chance to pile up the city's debt. Vote for the man who will stay on the job, who will not resign as Dr. Ross and Mr. Nickle resigaed when it best suited their Jorsonal conven- fences. THANKS TO TORY PARTY! From the present indications there is every likelihood that the dairy | school, which was established in Kingston as a school for Eastern Ontario, will not be rebuilt, but is a loss to this city and district. From what has been learned ds a result of .the visit of the deputations to Toronto this week, it is the intention of the department of agriculture to establish a dairy school at Kempt- ville in connection with the experi- mental farm there. The whole blame for this rests upon Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, Conservative leader who, as a :in- ister in the Hearst government, had the experimental farm established in his own constituency at a cost of $:50.000. A dairy school was not added, but' persistent efforts were made to close the s~hool at King- ston and establish i. ut Kemptville. Under these circumstances the cftiz- ens of Kingston will no* feel like supporting W F. Nickle, a candidate of the Conserva:ive Darly responsi- ble for taking away this school, It is pointed ont that there is a re- mote possibility ot two schools being located in this part of the province, in which event ons would be located at Kingston and tho other at Kaemp:t- ville. This is very remote, however. Had Hon. Howard Ferguson not grabbed something for his own con- stituency we shouil bave retained our dairy school, aad the man ectly responsible for the loss of the school to Kingston.

They. recognize that the clever, the unscrupulous and the energetic are fvoumd to have a surfeit while the | stupid, the timid and the lazy are bound to be pushed to the well. But while they recognize that these by no means unanimous in the judg- ment that they ought to occur; and they are singularly unanimous that, in the civilization in which they do occur, there is no generous following of the maxim, "One js your master oven Christ and all ye are brethren." Can the church give any lead where communism and radiéal social- ism has failed? It fs an open ques- tion. The most widely read docu- ment fesued by any church on social service comes from the Lambeth Conference, This document points out faults and flaws and possible remedies, but it has not the remot- est intention of condemning the pres- ent organisation of society. can scarcely be hoped for from a church which maintains that unless there are prizes in the shape of wealthy bishoprics, deaneries, etc., it is hopeless to expect the 'best' men to offer for ordination. It is probable that none of the other churches have officially advanced be- yond this safety zone, No one for a moment believes that the ministry of any church is overpaid, or that it is even adequately paid, but that is beside the question, church has any real message for the sick and sorry world, which will help it away from a"system which is distinctly and dangerously competi- tive. She can and she ought, In the first place she must place mew in- slstence upon the initial Christian conviction that spiritual values are higher than .mathrial, that "a man's life consisteth not'in the abundance of the things that he hath.' She lust cease seeking for her leading lay officials men whose whole idea in lite is that increased wealth is only a fortunate opportunity to live in a better house, spend more on clothes end furniture, adopt a patronizing air toward all who are less fortunate, and a fawning attitude to all into whose class, as a generous spender of money, he is not yet able to attain.
