It does not matter whether the population of a country 1s. divided dy religious creeds or po- litical opinions, there has got to be enforced a recogniton of the suprem- acy of civil authority, and every other consideration must bow to that suthority until by constitutional means changes may be made. This fundamental truth lies as the very foundation upon which olvilization rests, and any Segagiujion or politi- cal faction that disregards it does so only at its own peril. One wonders Sometimes that men Who possess aspirations in public life exhdit deplorable ignorance of fundamental principles, including educated men, often, whose training must have included at some period or another the inculcation of prim- ary duties, But, under certain cir- || cumstances, they will dare to excite feelings whieh, it nurturedandallow- ed freedom of action, would have de- plorable consequences. With such a wealth of literature on the progress of human society there is no excuse or justification for the bloodshed in Ireland, a country whose public men and leaders have had every advan- tage that education can offer; and the conditions that have prevailed can only be attributed to the domin- tion of brute instincts over intelli- gence, Undoubtedly they would stoutly resemt such an accusation, but it is true nevertheless. The history of the French Revo- lution and the period following it up to the close of Napoleon's Empire should be read by every man who aspires to public life, or leadership in any capacity. It is of special in- terest during the present condition of world aftairl] for the lessons will be found to have a striking applica- tion, Carle hag given us a master plece in hig great work and has mercilessly unbared the veneer, the sham and the motives that under- lle the actions of men who reaped Me just consequences of their folly and wickedness. No country in the world to-day is more vigilant than Fraace in guarding against the pos- - | sibility of A.repatition of the "Reign of Terror." -------- PROVINCIAL FINANCING. In presenting the financial tate- ment for the province of Ontario for the past year, the Hon. Peter Smitn, provineial treasurer Seemed to imply that the only thing of importance Was whether or not he could show a surplus, and, in announcing his sur- plus of some $800,000, he dia so with a show of great pride and satis- faction. He had no apologies to of- fer for the increased expenditure, He had nothing to. Say regarding the huge increase, during the year, of the debt of the province. These things mattered little when compared with the fact that he had been able to expend less money than was received into the treasury, Whether or not a Teal surplus exists, is, of course, be- par- ties, who have been fatrly successful in showing that a surplus is simply a matter 'of book-keeping ang of manipulation of figures. That, how- ever, is not the chiet point to be con- sidered. The main: point in the Whole statement, 80 far as the people Are concerned, is that » there has been a great increase in the ordinary expenditures and in the debt of the provinee, . These increases will require some explanation by the provimcial treag- urer and his colleagues. In their platform utterances regarding the increases in 1920. Premier Drury and the members of his cabt- net made the Dlea that 1920 was the beak year in living and building costs, and that this was responsible for the 1920 increase. © The same excuse will not hold good for 1921, however, for in that year living costs and building costs showed a consid erable decline. How, then, can the government give a Satisfactory ex. | | { | millions and have a million of a surplus, No matter how high the | expenditures, the people have to pay, and it is no credit to a government to have a surplus, if, during a year of depression, the people have been bled to the extent of five million dollars more than in the year previous. True economy consists, not in having a surplus, but in cutting expenditures to the bone, and that is"not the kind of economy which has so far been practised by the Drury administra- tion, for Mmstead of setting their rev- enue at a figure to cover necessary expenditures they have made their expenditures to suit the maximum amount they could possibly squeeze from the peoples. This is a type of f- nancing which cannot possibly meet with popular approval, and it should not be forgotten when the next ap- peal is made to the people of On- tario. | ALONG LIFE'S DETOUR | BY SAM HILL Everything But the Squel, The packer knows a thing or two, > And really Is a plucky man; At failure he will surely laugh, Because he always says "I can." cn Observations of Oldest Inhabitant, I kin remember when folks who went out driving left thelr loose change at the toll Bates instead of At the dlling stations, -- Alwayg Brings That With Him, Ther®s one thing a plumber never has to go back for."
