And we are only away a little while when we begin to get restless; we have a new yearning; this time it is to get back, back to the com- fortable routine of the years, back to the cozy bed with just the right size pillow, back to the éasy chair, of things as they are; .away from the half-cooked yet burnt food of the woods; away from fle mos- ' quitoes- of Lite summer = cottage, away from thé knock-head nudity of the beaches. We have a feeling away down in the deep, dim recesses of our soul that it's not the going away that helps; it's the coming back. A VISIONARY M.P. Some visionary fdeas for the gov- cronment of Canada are being put forward by Rev. Hiam Irvine, M.P. for Calgary, who is at present meking a lecture tour of Ontario. Mr. Irvine is not satisfied with the present form of government. It was useful enough at ome time in the history of the country, he says, hut it has outlived its usefulness and is but the tool of the monied classes. As Mr, Irvine is a labour member of the. most advanced type, this is only what he might be expected to say. He goes om, however, to further criticize 'the party form of govern- ment by intimating that the two main parties are exactly alike in political economy, in practical legis- lation, moral gualities and intellec- tuality, and that, béing under the control of the monied interests, they do mot have much consideration fdr the other classes throughout the country. While seeking a solution for this condition of affairs which he sees in Canada, Mr. Irvine is not greatly enamoured of the idea of a' third party. This, he says, puts a small clique in a' position to dominate the policy of the government, and he he- lieves that this is wrong, although he sits with the Progressives in the House of Commons. He believes that the group system, with six or eight small groups in the parliament of the day, would be an improve- ment on the system whereby a third by the throat and force compliance with their demands. 1 co-operative governments. fav- ours a system in which there would be no government party and no op- position party.

The representa- tives themselves would represent no parties nor "political creeds. They would simply be the representatives of the classes which elected them, for Mr, Irvine wants to have them elected by classes, and they would co-operate in putting into effect such i legislation as would be favourable to all the classes in the country. By 1 the government party and the opposition party, Mr. Irvine is of the opinion that he would be ful. All through the twilit countries | able to secure only such legislation of Europe are dictatorships, half-|as would be received favourably by all the people. This plan is one which sounds like (a good one on the surface, although | evidently Utopian. It does away { with all thought of government re- | sponsibility, and weculd bring into effect a gathering of a motley body of representatives, each with his dif- | ferent idcas, without leadership, and { without cohésion. It may be a good | principlecin theory, his theory of co- operative government, but in these { days when governments have to bear | heavy responsibilities, it is hardly At the best, it is a dream who is seeing so far {in advance of his own time that he | cannot see present cay conditions, | and it is not likely that the dream | feasible. | of a visionary, | will ever come true, unless it be in | the dim and distant future. 1 -------------------------------- | GOOD ROADS AS ADVERTISED. | © The cost of building and maintain- ing good roads seems so great that many taxpayers are inclined to lie down and say they simply cannot be afforded. Yet before taking that | attitude, it is well to reflect on the returns that a good road brings. The news that a certain 2ity or district has good roads spreads for many miles around. Motorists drive | that way when out for pleasure, or I will go in that direction when seek- | ing a trade centre. They will go many miles out of their way if they | can find a good road Into some business centre. The convenience and comfort of a 'good road is thus a magnet that draws trade and business, that spreads prosperity into the surround- Ling country. f[t makes a city seem a centre are well filled with visitors, which a city with poor outlying roads 'finds visitors going elsewhere. It costs something to solve the good ! roads problem, but it costs more not to. MORE PEOPLE COMING. The figures for immigration into Canada for the first ning months of 1923 are such as to give the gov- ernment and the people of this country much cause for satisfaction. When the Liberals came into power, one of their election planks was to take such measures as might be nee- essary to increase the number of | people seeking to find a new home fn Canada. It took time to bulld up a policy which would accomplish this, but they have been successful, and in less than two years from the time they took office, The figures just issued show that during the first nine months of this year fifty per cent. more immigrants led in Canada than during the | sett! | Whole year of 1922. The total num. | ber of new arrivals in this country | up to the end of September was | 106,000, while during the whole of 1922 only 74,000 immigrants enter- ed Canada. That the improvement was a constant one, and did not fall off as time went on, is showh by ! the fact that the months of August | and September showed the greatest | increases of the nine months under review over the figures for the pre- vious year. Apother matter which gives cause for satisfaction is found in the fact that the proportion of immigrants from the British Isles Is steadily growing, and is taking the fore- most place in the sum total the settlers to come to Canada, half were from the British Isles, and the remainder were _ Qivided between the United States and al the other countries of the world. There was an increase of 133 per cent. in the number of British immigrants, to enter Canada, and this figure, also, is showing a consistent rise. The immigration department of 'the government is to be compliment- ed on this splendid result of its ef- forts. It is making good the und¥r- takings given in 1921, and is bring- ing to this country an Increasing number of settlers of the right type. Canada needs such settlers, come, the more prosperous will this country grow as the years so by. affairs of the nation, under his plan. | Lo would be in the hands of a perman-| ent central executive, selected be-| my -* 4 Clarence Ludlow Brownell, MA Fellow Royal Geographical Soclety, London, England. i % Bet . 1 The admonition "let the dead { bury the dead," which one reads in poesy and in Holy Writ, receives honor in the breach to-day.

Actually the French| people are in a better position to pay their war debts than the British, who are mak- ing a desperate effort to do so. The chief difference between them is that in England the Government h the money and the people haven't, while in France the people have the money and the, Government goes short. In other. words, the French Government won't tax its people to debt payment possible, The British Government does. France prefers to wait and get the money first out of Germany. Britain, too, hopes to get the money eventually out of the Germans, but in the meantime starts to pay her own debts. This is the reason why the British Government is in a better position than the French Government and can keep its coinage stable, while the French people have more epending money than the unfortunate British.--Los Angeles Times.
