Along with June roses and Juns weddings comes the annual crop-of good advice to graduates. 'Success' is the topic. 'The world receives its yearly accessiom of school-train- ed youngsters with somewhat the same sense of hopes and fears and | responsibilities that it feels for the babies. The boys and giris out-of school are born again to new and enlarged phases of life experience, and the world is anxious about What should seem simpler, then, than that the world should _dele- gate its successful ones to give the forma of success to the new-com- ers? Pass the word along to the novices; you have succeeded; tell them how you did it. The result is ¥ | disappointing, or would be if it were taken seriously. The old-heads can't tell the be. ginners the how. They them- | selves know very well how little of by was 0 their achievement came about their own efforts; how much dug to an admixture of chance, favorable circumstances and the There is no making straight to success. The elders never can persuade the boys and girls at commencement that they are to tread paths marked with many footprints, The optimistic, specific direction ing less tham the conquests of new worlds. Commencement means to commence, not to finish. 4 It is well. The wisest who have lived have.pot made the world what it ought to be. The job has not been very well done. Take =a chance on the "commencers." There is much that needs commencing. We need better cjiies and better farms, better government and better citi- zens; better business and better recreation: better industries and better arts--in the whole category ot what has been accomplished there is pothing that could not be better. Turn the graduates loose without too much hampering advice. After all, each must create his world for himself, WHY? Why is it that some people will bother busy railway ticket men about vacation places when they krow the cost will be high and when they know at the same time that the weather--no matter where they are going--will be no better, or per- haps not as good, as it is in. King- ston? Why is it? Where, in all the weather his- tory of Canada, can one find finer weather than Kingston is now en- joying? Why is it that some people brag about having money in the Bank, then go away on their vacations and spend it? Echo answereth not. JOHN DOE, THE WRONGED. John Doe was born about the close of the Dark Ages. He 'waa the creation of some English law- yers who began to see the light of progress. They needed John Doe for the purpose of making law mor® complicated than It had been. Fact had made it snarled enough for most persons, but the lawyers call- ed fiction to tneir' ald to make wt more profitable.' John Doe was the fictitious 'lad to turn the grind- stone for them. Just why they need- ed him as the plaintiff if actions ot ejectment would of itselt be a fit subject for a 10,000 word thesis. by any young lawyer seeking a degree. John Doe, springing full armed (with papers) from the brow of Justice, entered upon a career in which he has ever an Imaginary lessee battling with an Richard Roe for possession of land. The land was real and so were the men who won it in court, and the lawyers who' never gave Doe or Roe a groat for their services: For sev- en centuries, until parllament pass. | ed the Common Law Procedure Act in 1852, Doe and Roe were busy, but always in fairly respectable work. But the act of 1852 abolished fictions in ejectment. Jolin Doe, atter seven centuries of work, deserved a grave in Weest- minster Abbey, But no; the crud lawyers would not let him die.

A ciever man once said that words are for concealment of thought. A | wise man, long before him, said that | they are for the expression of | thought. Between the two it is a | far cry--with limitations and defects | of language lending themselves to | the cynicism of the clever epigram- {anatist. Different {inferences have {been drawn from the same sentences lot old authorities on religion or phil- |osophy or economics or government. Bits from the same work or frog the same suthor are not infréquéiitly cited both pro and con in predent-day controversy. When those who write or speak for the future put their thoughts in words they should ex- haust the language and its syntax to make their expression inclusive of all that they mean and exclusive of all else, if they would have the fut- ure interpret it correctly. PROVINCE OF A NEWSPAPER. It would be comical, were it pot somewhat pathetic, the way news- paper offices are besieged every day by their friends, urging them to "roast" this and that; to '"'see to it" that this and that is corrected; to have this and that done in the city or county; to start this and that kind of movement to correct evils in gov- ernment. These friends actually ap- pear to believe that it is the news- paper's business to handle all these affairs. But a self-respecting newspaper, though ready and willing to carry all reasonable resopmsibility, must re- mind its readers that they--the peo- ple--are the authority upon whom rests the responsibility for the pre- sent state of affairs local, provincial and national. A self-respecting newspaper tries fo-rsport the news of what actually happens, not what it might wish hed happened. The relation of such a newspaper to the general public {3 not always understood. It is the duty of a newspaper to be In @ posi- tion to support any good act and to criticize any bad act of public policy. This relationship cannot exist where favors aré asked and granted. Hon- esty is the only policy for a news- paper. If objectors do not lke the way things are going, they should qualify as voters and then raise cain about it. | PRESS COMMENT | Fed Up With War.

The Kitehe ner Record comments upon the change that has occurred n the press of the province in its re- lation te a provinelal election in the past ten years. Ten years ago, and before that, there were rival partisan dallies in practically every large centre of the province, and they forcefully admon- ished the people as to what they must do if they wouid serve the province from going to the dogs. Today only three of the smaller cities of Ontario have sival dailies. The decease of £0 many partisan journals has had the effect of causing the papers that turvive to alter considerably their attitude towards politics. The Re- cord says: "Formerly a newspaper felt it could and shoud 'lay it on thick' during an election campaign because the other side had its own party juper for purposes of reply. Today the average daily is restrained dy a sense of propriety, if not by any other motives, from entering the political fray in an entirely one-sided atti- " Bi f i3 it z s i Hy ; £ 2 : 7 £ a i i : 2 3 Bil I gh it f £ : : 2 el} i i] il § ie i 3 Ef § i] 2 2 i - no doubt this is very upsetting and makes election work more difficult than it used to be. But altogether ii must indicate a far better state of !/the public mind, for the governing of a province is a thing worth think- 'ng about by the governed. Ernest Newman on Singers Manchester Guardian. As usual at this period of the year, most of my time is being spemt at the Scottish competition festi- vals. "I do not seem (0 be missing much, however; by being mostly away from don; the one reflec- tion that gives me a pang fs that I shall not be able to hear either of Battistini's recitals this month. Some day, when humanity is really civilized, bad singers will be punish- ed by law, not for their sins against art, but for their physical cruelty to their hearers. ., Those gentry do not seem to realize that when we listen to a singer we unconsciously make sympathetic movements in our own throats; that is why, for example, some of us feel so tired after a long spell of high contralto coloratura singlng--our own larnyxes rise in sympathy with the pitch, obeying the same law that makes us unwit- tingly kick the man in front of us on the side lines whén the centre forward has the ball at his foot and An open goal. It follows that whem a singer has a bad production all sorts of - disagreeable sympathetic maladjustments go in the throats of those who are listening to him, or, at any rate, in the throats of those who themselves have the sing- ing instinct in them. Conversely, a singer who really knows how to sing gives a delight- ful feeling of ease in our own throats; to test which one has oaly to listen tc Battistini, who, at the age of 65 or so, still produces his tone with the naturalness of a sing- ing bird. And to hear Battistinl in some of the Italian opera arias of the early 19th century is to under- stand, perhaps for the first time in our dives, what the now despised Bellini and Donizetti and Mercadants and the rest of them were driving at. Théy wer, after all, not such fools as the post-Wagnerian gener- ations have come to think. They wrote primarily for singers who could sing; once their idiom 1s ac- cepted as the natural one of their day, and given a modern singer who takes it as the normal thing, instead of loftily condescending to it, we wee how much that is realy vital can be said in it.
