GRANT SPIRIT OF QUEEN'S It is just twenty-one ysars ago ¢ince Dr. George Munro Grant, the man who made Queen's Undversity famous throughout the land, passed to his rest. Two events to-day at and is head of the noted Upper Can- ada College, receives an honorary degree from the university for which his father labored, and ths corner stone of a splendid. Mbrary is being laid, marking the addition of still another buil to the seat of learning on the old itario Strand. The years representing the legal age of a young man have gone by since George Munro Grant finished his work for Queen's. His work was in every way complete, for by his tr dous energy and his wide vision he had made secure the future of the old Presbyterian university. Queen's was to pass through more 243 )trials and be separated from its ma- ther 'church, as he foresaw and ad- vocaled, in order to make it great- er, but the men who have since gulded Queen's have ever had .the vision of George Munro Grant be- fore them. The Queen's spirit, which he created, lives and has spread throughout the whole land. This Queen's spirit means sacrifice and service, and' because it has been contagious among all Queen's grad- uates, the Kingston university has become greater and greater as the years pass. George Munré Grant passed away on the tenth of May, 1902, but in spirit he still lives at Queen's, ~---- THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL. The office of provincial attorney- general is elective and not appoin- tive, and the minister who fills that rosition in a government is a mem- ber of the government and not mere- ly an official of the government, A government, therefore, upon going before the people carries full respon- sibility for the administration of the department of the attorney-general, whether the individual who filled the office seeks re-election or not. Hon. Mr. Raney's announcement of his resignation upon dissolution is regrettable because of his promin- ence in the government during its tenure of office.: His was the guid- ing hand during the sessions of the legislature, and, in addition to shap- ing legislation, he was the adminis- trator of the Ontario Temperance Act. He was subjected to unceasing bitter attacks for his enforcement of prohibition which became operative when the Bovernment assumed office. As solicitor for the Dominion - Ali ance he 'excited personal prejudice by his activities before he entered the government, and this did not dimin- Ish throughout his term of office. It can fairly be said that the experi- ment of prohibition has been char- acterized by the most fearless and impartial application of the law. Never in the political history of the country was a minister called upon to fill a position that brought him into such direct conflict with a large portion of the public. It was a task that had to faced, and Mr. Raney never flinched." He had "#6 shape the 0.T.A., and the regulations for its enforcement; create a poliee force; whip the magistrates and Justices: of the peace into line, and supervice the issuance of liquor pre- scriptions by the medical profession. He was conscious that the law carried the approval of the majority of the People, and political considerations never influenced his actions for one moment. It Is unfortunate that he £5 with- drawing at a time when the govern- ment is going to the country for en- dorsement of its record, far thore is a vast difference between prohibition as a hypothetical question, and pro- hibition in fact, and neither the at- torney-general nor the government can evade responsibility for any change that may have taken place in public opinion respecting the O.T.A. a4 those charged with its opera- tion, -------- RECREATION IN HOBRIES, At a 'sale of rare stamps in Paris [ne issued In 1847 by the Island of Mavuritins brought 122,000 francs, Which, at the present rate of ex- been commanded by stamps prized by collectors, but the sum paid for' this specimen will not be despised.

There are many services which are admittedly rendered by the press of any country, and particularly of a country such as Canada, which is Young and in the making. The lat- cst tribute which has been paid to newspapers, however, {is that they form the best remedy which is in existence for the prevention of crime. This was the statement which was made by Dr. Frank O'Brien, a famous crimologist of the United States, in addressing a gathering at Louisville, Kentucky. The whole trend of his address served to show that the proper way to deal with crime and criminals was not by prison and penitentiary terms alone, as these but served as temporary de- terrents, but by educating the minds of the young people along the pro- per lines and studying the conditions in which they are reared to manhood and womanhood. The whole ques- tion, in his opinion, was one of edu- cating the public, and he recommend- ed newspaper publicity as the best means of carrying out this objective. There is much of truth in what Dr. O'Brien says, not only in regard to the effect of newspaper publicity in educating young people away from livas of crime, but also in regard to the ineffectiveness of the penal sys- tem as a preventive of erime. The path of the hardened criminal is one of education, but his education ie in the wrong direction. The criminal develops by early training in wrong- doing, often acquired unconsciously. His high school course is gained by experience of the juvenile courts as the result of minor offences, thesjail becomes his college, and he finally lands in the penitentiary as a sort of post-graduate course as a criminal. All of this might be checked at the start if there was only some way in which the yonng lad, on making his first misstep, could be taken in hand and educated away from his ways of wrong doing. The important thing is to get behind the causes of the first crime and remedy them in sone way, by studying each particular case, and finding the best means of educating the young criminal back to the straight path. This, of course, is a big task, or, at least, it is made to appear a big task. There are social organizations by the score which meet and pass ahstract resolutions deploring the tendency towards crime in youth, and talk in platitudes on how this is bringing down the moral standards of the nation, but gil this talking has very little effect in the end. There needs to be a system of getting down to deal with individual cases. The reformers need to come out of the clouds of their own self-righteons- |. ness and get dywn into the depths after the young people who are start- ing in Mves of crime, not by methods which simply harden them by their very sanotimoniousness, but by straight forward educational methods which will lead the young criminal of hig own volition to come back to a normal state of life. It is true, as Dr. O'Brien says, that the newspapers can help in this work of education, but the problem is one of individuals, and not of masses, and it needs in- dividual ettention. That is where there is a failing point in soctal sdr- vice work, and that is where the re- medy lies for the making of harden- ed oriminals out of lade who have simply made a single slight step off the straight road. vtta Sai te-- 'SEGRATE INDIANS, Measures Governing Their Residence * In South Africa.

At a meeting of the Red Cross committee held Tuesday afternoon, it was decided to recommend to the Civil Re-establishment department, Ottawa, the re-opening of the Vet- craft shops in Kingston, on the same basis as Toronto and Hamilton. Capt. Melville, of the headquar- ters staff, Ottawa, was present at the meeting and will take the matter up with the government on his return to Ottawa. There are about twenty men available for this service. This work is for men who need the shel- ter and not for men who can do out- side work. Thus there are good chances for the Vetcraft shops to be re-opened in Kingston soon. -------- Slashed His Throat. Gordon Johnson, Athens, is in a Brockville hospital for treatment.
