Mason, a delegate to the recent Liberal- Conservative Convention at Winnipeg, points out on his return the great value of that gath- ¢ring from a non-political standpoint, He states that when the Conventon opened, a cleavage between east and west was clearly apparent; Iut when it closed a National spirit had been born and the mass mind of the delegates {thought only in terms of Canada, Perhaps nothing short of a great Party gath- ¢ring could have drawn so many people from so many different sections of Canada together, but if the cause of Canadian unity was st-engthened 4t Winnipeg--which few will dcubt--then every form of national convention or get together should be encouraged and, more, promoted. Mr. Mason returns with a stirring message about the wealth of the West. For five weeks he studied conditions in three Prairie Provinces and in British Columbia. He merely reports what was known before about the amazing pos- sibilities of the "Empire west of the Great Lakes." But knowing a thing and realizing it are two different things. Reports such as Mr, Mason made brings the facts home and kindles imaginative apprecia- tion, inspiring only time can tell how many young people to seek their destiny in that part of Canada which was, in the main, carved out of the former domain of the Hudson's Bay Jompany., There is opportunity in Canada whichever way the industrious and ambitious may turn, There is little need to adopt Greely's maxim "Go west, young man, go west" as stock ad- vice to the young. "Phat injunction might, however, be nega- tively rewritten in Canada by saying. "Don't go south, young man. There's a future for you at home!" CHURCH DEBT CLEARED OFF Mounting flames, lit by the star-like tapers held in the hands of the church's officials Wed- nesday night, destroyed cancelled notes of the Albert Street United Church which were made for land to be used as the site of a future new building. It was a happy occasion in more senses of the word than one. The older members saw one of life's happiest miracles which is having faith justified. The young folks' eyes were brighter even than the candles borne by their elders. In them was life's hope and the Church's promise. A stranger at the congregational gathering comments on its friendliness. The minister moved amongst his flock. The night's special meaning allowed for decent mirth. From a rear seat it was pleasant to steal sidelong glanc- cs at some of the young people who, with charming frankness, are drawing near to that time when the minister will be asked to unite their young destinies and consecrate the fond- ing of another Canadian home. Nor were the steadily married section over- looked. Lives riches with a comradeship of years, blessed with the love and pride of par- enthood. Young families were in evidence. In- evitably the lordly latest baby and the little brother he supplanted. One can never get over astonishment at how greatly beloved the baby is by the one who was a baby just a year or {wo years ago. Then, up near the front as if the desoniog shadow drew them nearer to the Mercy Seat. the older folk with silver hair. However happy age may be, its eyes are always filled with sad memories. It has to be, for to live long means to lose much--the friendship and the loves of other years. WOMEN AND THE SENATE So firmly established in the public's mind is the right of women to-®quality in citizenship that the country at large will be bored rather than entertained by the news that the Supreme Court of Canada must determine if the word "person" in i:> British North America Aet as | coat or the referring to prospective sicibers of the Cana- dian Senate can be construed as applying to either sex. » In logic, the Supreme Court will have nq re- course but daclare that the framers of the B.N.A. Act meant a male when they used that word. They were indefinite 'because they were so utterly sure that such a "disaster" as Wo- man's Suffrage would never occur. In plain common sense, however, the Court might well use their dictionaries instead of their reasons. Women have as much right to seats in the Senate as they have in the Com- mons. Further, any woman has just as much right to the premiership of Canada or any of its provinces as any man. However, cld traditions take a ghastly long time dying even after they have been dealt a death blow. And the pity of it is that it takes so long for better ones to take their place. Women have political equality over all Can- ada in the Federal sense, But their enfran- chisement hasn't done as'mueh for the final up- lift as some believed and as some hoped. Wo- men in politics show that there is little to this idea of mysteriousness in gentle sex, Women are just folks, and when that's said the whole mystery is stated. NOT DESPISED NOW Some years ago the newspapers brought | news of serious depredations of rabbits in Aus- i tralia. So rapidly were they multiplying that they constituted a menace to the crops and gardens of the cntire continent, Then followed stories of great rabbit drives in Oklahoma, Texas and other states. Still later farmers and gardeners in the densely populated eastern United States complained of the depredations of the hare, Suddenly there came an end to these news dispatches and the readers supposed rabbit herds had been decimated to the point of. in- nocuousness, But the biological survey of the department of agriculture was not fooled by the let-up in bunny news, * It found that the rabbit was no longer the subject for complaint because two highly profitable markets had been found for it, They arc now being shot for pro- fit, instead of for protection, Australian rabbit flesh furnishes the prin- cipal ingredient of at least twenty-five per cent, of the '"hassenpeffer" which delights the Ger- man palate and finds a ready market in other countries in Europe where meat is something { of a luxury. Moreover the rabbit skin is a very important adjunct of the fur business. In fact, without the skins in which Baby Bunting was wrapped there would be a regular debacle in the fur trade. But when the rabbit pelt becomes a fur fur trimming of a cloth coat it is kaown by another name. On the fur market and in the fashionable shop and bargain basement rabbit fur has more aliases than an international cheque ariist, A few of them are Australian seal, Baltic fox, squirreline, electric beaver, electric mole, mcskin crmine, sealette, cony, Baltic black fox and even Baltie lion. The furrier can do mere with a rabbit pelt than the famous cook who could make every known meat out of the carcass of one small pig. MAN: RATIONAL, GULLIBLE The scientific assumption that man is the only animal posdessed of the power of reason has been cynically altered to read, "Man is the cnly animal that does not use the power of reason." Cynicism is truth magnified a thous- and diameters through the glass of pessimism, so there is some truth and much exaggeration in the cynical derationalizing of man. Even the most unthinking admit freely that the hu- man faculty of reason is not overworked. In the motorist's estimation ninety-nine per cent. of pedestrians and ten per cent. of auto- mobile drivers are incapable of thinking. The pedestrian confesses there are 2 few thought- less foot travelers but will deny having ever seen reason behind the whzel of an automo- bile. The truth is that neither the motorist nor pedestrian has employed reasoning powers in coming to these partisan conclusions, Millions of fur-bearing animals are trapped every season because the creatures have no reason to warn them of their danger and be- cause man's reason is superior to animal in- stinet. But man, although a reasoning animal, is trapped in greater numbers than the beasts which furnish him fur. Are not wild-cat stocks, land sharks, second-hand cars, poli- ticians, wars, reformers and other confidence men proof conclusive that rational man is more gullible and less wily than the dumb animals? EDITORIAL NOTES "Talking over the heads of the people" means no more than an inability to talk clearly. Yours isn't a hick town if you can use good English without seeming to show off. » The woman who married a man to reform him finds solace in the thought that even legis- lation cannot do it.
