There is no need to labor the point whether this strangler-murderer is insane or not. Per- haps he is. But when reading the list of those he is believed to have slain under circumstances of unmentionable horror, common sense is in- clined to ask: "What of it?" In the jungle man-eating tigers might easily be found insane by expert alienists, the more so from the fact that their victims are more often women and children than men, No one, however, wastes any sympathy on the tiger. 'Whole villages are organized to get rid of him, and when the job's done, a general celebration capital crimes. in order. ...We are perhaps too civilized to declare a holi- day over the Winnipeg verdict, but one can still thank God for the sanity which marks the ad- miinstration of justice in Canadian Courts. IMMIGRATION PROBLEMS its suppliant refugees, That something is indeed very wrong with Canada's immigration system is evident from Saturday's report of the Provincial Premier's ' "Conference at. Ottawa, thority that all the Government leaders of the Dominion's nine provinces were in accord in condemning the present system. disaster could befall Canada than for it to fol- low in the steps of the United States where, for many years, the incoming ships from Eu- rope were loaded with newcomers who, in too many instances, regarded the Republic not as an asylum for the oppressed or the miserable, but as a land to be exploited with no more moral regard for its laws, customs and institu- tions than if these aliens were its conquerors, It is stated with au. Much the same thing, though on smaller séhle, has been happening in Canada recently iffithe united voice of the provincial premiers ig'to be believed. In connection with which it is well worth remembering that Canada itself is on a small scale so far as population is con- cerned. To blame the Federal Government entirely : would be more than unjust. It is the Federal Government that called the heads of Provincial Governments for the very thing they are do- ing, which is to criticise where such seems to be needed. The Dominion leaders undoubtedly expected criticism, and they are to be com- mended for a rare display of political courage in going ahead with the Conference plans de- spite the risk involved, However, since something approaching un- animity, even' a fearful phase of that condi- tion, has been reached as regards immigration, the Federal Government should lose no time in remedying the situation by every means in its power. Population, without question, is one of Can- " ada's great needs. But it isn't imperative enough to throw down all bars merely to gain numbers. Quality made Canada, and when that ideal is forsaken it will no longer be Can- No greater NATIONAL MEMORIAL DAY Another Armistice-Thanksgiving Day has passed into history, and various bodies, includ- ing organized veterans and the Ontario Regi- ment, on Sunday paid tribute to the heroic dead of the late war with splendid ceremonies. But these ceremonies, staged as they were in competition with wintry weather, merely emphasize the need of a national Memorial Day in Canada. The final Monday of each May is suggested as one on which the nation could best unite in | a solemn day of remembrance. | Such a change would restore Thanksgiving | | i \ could be traced, indirectly, to the New England ed Empire Loyalists had a share both in found- ing and observing. marked by commemorative exercises in which | too few are able to take part. This applies particularly to the children. It is their hands which should be trained to strew flowers over the cenotaphs of heroes. It is their young minds which need to learn, by ac- tual share in a Memorial Day's ceremonies, the lesson of patriotism, selfless living and valiant dying which such a day would teach. MAKING HIGHWAYS SAFE Through the prompt arrival and efficient first aid rendered by W. A. Reid, highway traf- fic officer of Pickering, a Toronto citizen's life was very probably saved Saturday night in a motor accident two miles west of Whitby. The injured man sustained a severed head artery. In such cases prompt and skilful treatment can alone prevent a tragedy. Mr. Reid, of course, deserves great credit which is no way lessened by the fact that the men who are being enlisted in the Provincial Traffic Force are qualified to do emergency sur- gical work. Rather, the department concerned and the force in general shares in the public's sincere "Well done" for a fine action. Canada, it seems, has a genius of its own with regard to special police forces. The old "Royal Northwest Mounted" made a name that many famous regiments could regard with hon- orable envy. The Provincial highway force, young as it is, is laying the foundations of a fine reputation. It already has its martyrs to duty, and continuing good work coupled with its developing traditions of service and marked courtesy will give it a high place in public esteem, Its officers, it may well be said, haven't the. pleasantest of jobs. The cars they halt for speeding are invariably driven by bosom friends of Premier Ferguson or some other high official of the Government! They are offered advice in tones that at least border on the abusive; their work is looked down upon by some who should be the first to salute a man brave enough to risk his life in support of law; and it is per- haps true that they meet more lies where truth should be expected than any other class of pub- lic servants, Yet, amazingly to visitors from the United States and to the growing admiration of Cana- dians trained to expect such, they keep their good humor and courtesy. The highway force seems to be made up of men who are entitled to that name on other grounds than mere sex. GOVERNMENT HYDRO RELIEF After months spent in studying the problem of hydro rates in this district, the Central On- tario Power Association at its meeting in Co- bourg on Friday decided to appeal to the Ontario Government for substantial relief as regard the local hydro system's excess capitali- zation, Whether the Government will be inclined to grant that rclief is problemetical. However sympathetic its members may feel to this dis- trict, they will have to consider thc effect of substantial subsidies asked upon other sections of the Province., However, the Ontario Gov- ernment and the Legislative Assembly to whom the matter would have to be referred at last is made ol British citizens who, at the test, al- ways put fair play above politics. That Central Ontario is entitled to a full measure of relief cannot be disputed by those that have studied the situation, The rates which Oshawa and other municipalities in this district have to pay, as compared with rates in force in Toronto and Western Ontario general- ly, are intolerably high, The Central Ontario Power Association under the able leadership of ex-Mayor Frank L. Mason, Secretary J. O. Herity of Belleville, and the executive in general, has rendered real pub- lic service, They kept their heads amongst the clamor for action. As a result, they can now go to the Government with facts and figures to prove their cause, and with unanimity in the district which they will represent, Bit of Verse I stood in Venice on the Bridge of Sighs, A palace and a prison on each hand; I saw from out the wave her structures rise As from the stroke of the enchanter"s wand; A thousand years their cloudy wings expand Around me, and a dying Glory smiles Rl 1 to its proper place and add deep significance to it.
