If mere law enforcement is the thing most desirable, perhaps it GLANDS AND THE EMOTIONS. The much-discussed thebry of Dr. Sigmund Freud 'that nervous disor- ders result from suppressed desires ig said to have been accepted in some quarters as an excuse for licentious- ness. There seems to be danger that the theories now being put out con- cerning the ductless glands may also have an evil effect, for the gist of the new doctrine is that conduct is gov- erned by the manner in which they work, and this appears to present human beings as under the control ot rhysiological forces which they can- not regulate, and so not responsible for what they do. An example of the new teaching may be found in a recent declaration of Dr. Charles Louis Mix, professor of [clinical medicine in Northwestern | University. Cowardice, he says, is a | matter of physiology and not of men- tality and character. "Fear is caus- jed by the suspension of secretion by the adrenal glands, which are just 2bove but not connected with the kidneys. It is this stopping of the secreticns at the moment of fright {that causes the dilated pupi! of the | the dry mouth, shaky knees and toms of After the first moment of alarm, the glands renew their secre [tions with more than normal activity, {thus restoring the balance of courage jand enabling animals under observa- | tion to cope vigorously with the situ- 4 jations confronting them." Teachers of the theory concerning to acoount for the character and ac- tions of great men by telng how the glands worked. If the glands are in proper condition one will achieve greatness, they say; and if {they are not it is futile to expect |greatness, This is a sort of fatanism which, if gemerally accepted, would tend to discourage effort. But there is one cheerful feature of the theory. It is suggested that means may be found to stimulate or regulate the glands so as to make of their possessors whatever is desired. It is proposed for instance, to make brave men out of cowards by medical or surgical treatment which will in- crease the flow of deficient adrenal glands. THE WASTE BASKET. Our civilization is to be judged Just as 'much by our waste-baska's as by our sky-scrapers. Indeed the musings of the great philosophers will be given over to this wids- mouthed receptacle of tag-ends just {as much as to the more substantial and spectacular inventions and crea- tions of man; it will inspire reflac- tions not to be drawn from pyramids and subway tunnels and steam en- gines. The waste-basket is an insti- tution universal and permanent. Thrones and altars may crumble, but all the frills and fineries of these vanishing works of man find their reeting-place in the waste-basket of time. The waste-basket has outlived the inexorable laws of the Medes and Persians; it will remain at last to receive all the discarded hopes and strivings of mankind. Human progress is to be under- stood only in the light of what is tossed thougntlessly or dropped with a sigh into the waste-baskets of the world. Their contents yesterday, to- day, and for all time to come, ere the true index of human progress. It is by what we discard, as truly as by what we utilize, that we shall be Judged. The musings of the Great Philoso- pher on 'waste-baskets is tinged with Pathos. These ultimate repositories of human endeavor are often filled with fond aspirations come to naught; with hopes built on shifting sands, with ends of time spent on tasks bright in promise, but meagre mn fulfillment. Unfinished labsrs of love are here, and scraps of en- deavors which should never have been begun. These things discarded come from the hands of school chil- {dren and teachers; from housewives and mothers; from artists and arti- sans; from princes and paupers ard statesmen and prophets. And yet. the Great Philosopher will assure us, there is no need for discourage- ment. The hope which is grudgingly surrendered to the (waste-basket is but supplanted by a better one; the plan which finds its way into the waste-basket beside the litter of a day begets another plan, another dream, one less imperfect than those that went before. For it is by dis- carding the imperfect and ever buiid- ing anew that civilization has sup~ planted savagery. - The result of the vote in Manitoba on the question of whether or mot beer and wine should be allowed to be sold in hotels, is significant of the new attitude of the people of that province on the question of liquor. Three weeks ago the effectors of that to] anything which savours of the | Teturn of the open bar. There was |& suggestion of something of this kind in the proposal to license hotels i to sell beer and wine, even though there was no intenticn of extenting | the license to inclyde liquors. Tes open bar is still abhorrent even to | those who are rot in sympathy with i the present prohibition laws, and | they are not willing to do anything | to bring about a return of conditions i as they were in the years before the | war. But, from the one extreme, they have swung back a little way, | and are now looking om the Question in a more moderate manner. They have seen strict and prohibitive legis- lation in operation, end are not satis- fied, but that has not brought about | a desire for the old conditions. There is still the middle course to be taken, and that is the one which the peo- Ple of Manitoba have endorsed in the two appeals to the electorate. In spite of the fact, however, that they have voted against the Mcensing ot hotels, the people of Manitoba have, by the other referendum, stat- ed emphatically that they see ro rea- [son why they should not be allowed {to drink in their own homes, and why they should not be allowed, un- der government supervision and con- |trol, to buy a moderate quantity of jade for the purpose of home use. There is a great difference between | the two questions on which the peo- | {Ple voted. The first vote, that on jSovernment control, gives back to the people that personal Eberty the {loss of which created the strongest point of criticism of the prohibition legislation, while the defeat of the | Proposal to license hotels prevents the inserting of the thin end of tae wedge by those who seek a return of the open bar. The vote in Manitoba is a very sig- nificant one, particularly in view of the fact that there is a possibility that the same questions may, in the near future, be voted upon by the people of Ontario. Whether or not the result in this province would be the same as out on the prairies is a question which could only be satis- factorily answered by the taking of {@ vote, but there are indications that the same viewpoint exists in the minds of a great many of the citi- ens of this province, and that they would vote largely along similar lines to those who voted in Manitoba. {I am determined to know." segregated In two leper asylums, one | near Victoria, B.C, on D'Aray Is- | land, and the other at Tracadie, N.B.

It is therefore only natural that it should become the great eastern port at least for the expedition of grain during the navigation season. It is wrong that the larger part of the grain sent via Canadian ports should be shipped from Montreal; equally wrong to delay that shipment because the port of Montreal is congested, Ang the greatest error of all ds that the Quebec elevators should be empty and its wharves deserted whilst that part of the wheat crop which Mon- treal cannot handle is shipped through the United States ports. Why cannot the port of Quebec be utilized in the profitable way it might be?"--L'Action Catholique. 2 Japanese Productive.

Tt is important not to confound ary books with dull books. A dull book may be temporarily a best-seller: It may excite for the limited time it en- Joys a briet popularity. It may even appear on the screen. But being so easy to read, it is just as easily for- gotten. Dry books are not dull books. They are more than dull, they are profound. In many cases they are immortal. Strange to say, reading exciting books seems to hasten their decline, while refusing to read dry books insures their longevity. The Satire seems to be on the pepful pre- sent generation. Of course, the vogue of the book prevents the Writing of more dry books; this ah- stention, no doubt, adds to the value of the dry books already too well established to be killed by the neglect of a single generation.

The servant problem ds not re- sponsible for the "For Sale" and "To Let" boards in Mayfair. There is another reason. Many people now living in the houses and apparent luxury are real- ly existing in a state of penury, and are at their wits' end to find the means of carrying on from day to day. Like Charles Keen's historic Irishwoman, they are "almost kilt wid trwin' to live."
