Regardless altogether of party poli- ties, will anyone say that Canada can i afford to dispense with the services of Arthur Meighen? And is it a rea. sonable reward for years of faithful and | gervice to allow such a man to go out! Areata, SEPT. 30, 1826. The Desay Gloom { TT Every time Dean Toes. the "gloomy dean" says anything or writes any- thing a great wave of excitement is stirred_up. That is exactly what he wants. In his latest book, entitled "England," he intimates that Great Britain is on the toboggan slide, that the Empire is likely sogn to fall to pieces, 'and that Canada is in danger of merging with the United States. The gloomy dean is not the first) man, by any means, to use exaggera- tion in order to produce emphasis. Most speakers do that, more or less, especially those who are seeking pub licity. Make a really startling state- ment, if you are a prominent man or woman, and you will be quoted practically every paper throughout the | civilized wird. In our opinion, Dean lnge is a sin- cere and a discerning student «of men and of world affaifs. He knows per- fectly well that there are no such im- minent dangers as he foresees and, hy fu making his statements in the peculiar way he does, he lessens the possibility of these disasters in the future. To say that the Empire is likely to dis-| : integrate is to make all thinking citi- zens more than ever determined that nothing of the sort shall happen. Simi- larly, when he expresses his opinion that Great Britaln 1s aecadent and that Canada will be swallowed up by the United States. All these state of politics im the. prime of life, wept, unhonoured, and umsung." Our own opinion is that, if he goes, as he says he will, it will not be many years umtil he is recalled to public life. WHAT OTHERS SAY' STILL SOME LEFT (The New Yorker) Considering the beauty still to be met' with in various parts of Man- hattan Islend, it is dificult to be- lieve that America as the papers put it, has really been drained of love- liness by the Atlantic City Beauty Contest. Thank Heaven, in this field, at least, the amateur still holds her own. FARMERS AND TAXES (Financial Post) Otto H. Kahn has been telling American and Canadian audiences that the farmers in both countries are in'a bad way.--which is not true,--and he says he can offer no solution. He did help the Free Trade vote in Canada by broadcast- ing the statement that protection did not help the United Sates farmer, and perhaps herein lies the explanation of his recent visit to Canatta, Notwithstanding Otto Kahn's views; tliere is a solution, and An- drew Mellon and President Coolidge found it and pat it into effect with great results, They found that the way to help the farmer was to re- duce taxation--mnational taxation. promise to secure votes. In Maine a reduction in state taxation is the chief topic in the campaign of one of the candidates for the governor- ship. He is using tax reduction to win the farm vote. Here is a new thought for Can- ada, one for the new government to work on. FAMILY LIFE IN CHINA (Contemporary Review) The coherence and intensiveness of family life in China is hepeful, too, in many of its aspects. for the future. In spite of its undoubted disadvantages, the reactionary spir- ments do good because they produce a vigorous reaction--in the opposite] for direction. And there is mo doubt at all that such is Dean Inge's purpose. Hence, he should not be maligned, but rather praised, for he is doing a really useful work. Arthur Meighen "Woe to the conquered" was, it is said, one of the battle cries of those barbarous northerners who swept down gver Britain and southern Eu- rope early in the fifth century, and it is still a policy of their descend ants. The general who does not win a battle, the professional or business man, who does not get "results," the political leader who dees not win elec tions, is,4f accordance with popular . clamour, duly "canned." But it does not necessarily follow that such is the best and the wisest course. Arthur Meighen has not been very ! successful in winning electiops. Like Hannibal, bent on the capture of Rome, he has almost achieved his ob jective at times--but not quite. But has it been Arthur Meighen's fault that he has failed? Has he been pre- perly, fully, and whole-heartedly sup- ported by these whose duty it was to stand with and behind him? The hard-headed and bard-hearted 'prac tical" man will say that therein con- sisted part of his failure--in lack of ability to secure the unwavering de- votipon. of followers and supporters. {Others assert that 'he is a victim of the war, that, like most of the rest of us, he advocated conscription and for that he never has been and never "will be, forgiven im certuin quariers. It is often said that in Canadian] . politics we need more educated meu, + more industrions men, more honour- { iable men, more men who will put the * interests of the country before the in- i 'terests of self and of party. Just "such a man is Meighen--yet it is said She must go. He is a university gradu- {ate. He is a tireless worker; he was j the "draft horse" of the Borden cabi- net; during eighteen years as, a mem- : ber of parliament, six of them as lead- ter of his party, he has been assidu- it it breeds and 'the backward view, the sense of responsibility, each all in a family, will always oper- ate ior the benefit of a child. | has been pointed out that the de- organized charity on a large scale, sickness and old-age insurance, and so on. need never arise at all in China. For the family system sup- plies these needs in duty bound. And in line with the sense of fam- ily responsibility, at least in no way incongruous with it, is the slowly evolving social consciousness of the people. No doubt such a sense is sanctioned by Confucianism, | by Christianity, which teaches a common brotherhood over and above the ties of family relationships, and which can modify even the deep reactions of ancestor-worship with its disproportionate emphasis on past and on tradition. NOTABLE AND QUOTABLE (The Bystander, London) Most of our most brilliant con- versationalists in the West End of London are quoting the clever things said by Will Rogers at the | London Pavilion. There is some- thing about this notable American that makes him eminently quotable, He is always topical, always humor- ous. and he very seldom fails to hit the ball with the middle of the bat. 1 have heard some people say that some of his remarks are in bad taste. IF so. he must have put on a new line of talk the night I went, for there was no rough stuff of that sort. True, he had the lime- light turned into our box and lur- ed my companion into a discussiin on cricket, but the incident seemed very harmless to me, and judging by the applause, the audience found it positively entertaining. According to Will Rogers there is no drunkenness in the United States. You are either sober or very dead. After laughing at this jest, 1 read that the chief chemist of the New York Internal Revenue says that during the past twelve months there have been 700 deaths in the city from drinking wood alcohol. And the Statye of Liberty BEYOND THE PEAK (Toronto Mail and Empire) The average man of thirty-one cls us well as ever he felt in his life. For some sports he is as well fitted a= «cver, He is not really past his youth, especially if he has prided himself upon keeping in con- dition. Jack Dempsey did not de- vote the three years between his fight with Cibbons and his fight with Tunney to dissipation. He was in moderate training all the time. He certainly was no such burnt out a wreck as Sullivan when he faced Corbett. or Jeffries when he met Johnston. He was merely past the peak.'
