It is much more pleasant to praise the good that is done. But undiluted praise is dangerous, although it is most popular, Once in awhile, however, it be- comes necessary to speak out. plainly, To put the case briefly, there is a growing ~ amount of disorder in the town. The fact of the matter is that some young folk enjoy a greater amount of freedom than they know how to use wisely, and in a spirit of wholesome fun. It would be a matter of importance if the parents would take steps to see what is being "done by their children in the long evenings when those children are away from home. From reports re- ceived at this Office, it is not merely a matter of --------noise-and destruction-of property; but there--is-- most prized heritage at-this_particular time when d real danger of tragic endings in the lives of some young girls, The temptation to go to extremes is very great when erowds of young folk are on adventure bent, ~ It is time to give serious warning to young people who are not in a position to realize the conse-- quence that may arise from their frolics and esca- pades. forced by law; but it may have to be so enforced, which would be unfortunate, and carry with it a certain amount of disgrace. : J Self-discipline is infinitely more desirable; but it will not be exerted if the parents do not take the trouble to know what their children do when they are away from home. Nor will 'it help much if tragedy comes to re- ~ peat parrot fashion "boys will be boys." The reformer is not popular; but at times he is the truest friend the young folk can have. | No one with a grain of common sense will wish "to see young people without fun and good spirits; but there should be no rowdyism or immorality, or destruction of property. - This matter of disorderly conduct is not con- fined to Port Perry. It is becoming general - throughout not only the Province; but among all eur peoples. It calls for strong action; or we may win a war only to find that many of our most loved, merry hearted young people are los to us. ' s+ ee NO POLITICAL UNION, WITH THE UNITED STARES .

Everything that has happened in the present war, has tended to strengthen that tie. We cannot aiford any other political alliance until we have cemented our Provincial and Federal ties. When that is done (and it ought to be done soon) we shall discover that we have such a glorious heri- tage that we shall have no inclination to hand it over to another and greater poser.

If that purpose is to be carried to a successful conélusion, there will have to be many restrictions of the give and take kind among all these nations, This will be true, not only during the time of war, but for many years afterwards. We shall not become politically one; but there must be mutual understandings and agreements of a very effective type. Fundamentally, the development of a free hu- manity will not be effected by political amalga- mations, but by such co-operation as will promote the good of all right thinking peoples. From come that progréss in true civilization, It will not be brought about by mere bigness. of great empires; but will start and grow with the indivi- dual citizen. .
