courage the taking advantage of the loan clause This is the last thing desired by the companies and it is not at all in the interests of the policyâ€" holder. The clause is one of several that may be termed emergency clauses. They are designed for use only in extreme cases. The effect of the bill would be that insurance companies would be forced perhaps to restrict or delete such emerâ€" genecy accommodation clauses. The tendency of reduced interest rates to lessen the desire of the policy-homer to pay off loans taken would also be much against the true interests of the policyâ€" holder. It should be remembered that insurance companies are not in the business of banks or compares very favourabily with any rate available.

They were particularly asked why they were found on street after ten o‘clock at night when all lads are supposed to be home after nine o‘clock each night in the summer. After explaining that they had been attending a show they were taken to their respective homes. Under the provisions of the curfew bell byâ€"law the parents of these childâ€" ren may â€"now be summoned to court should the It is not too late yet for leading business and industrial men to confer as to how best they may lead the country to better times. It is a duty they owe to their less gifted fellows and a protection they might give to themselves. There is one point on which The Advance thinks Hon. Mr. Stevens absolutely right in the recent address referred to. That point was the fact that he found fault with those more or less in control of industry and business because they did not meet and confer on ways and means to lessen the effect of the depression and assist the people of the country to the earliest possible prosperity. Wealth and place alike carry responsibilities as well as some soâ€"called privileges. One of the reâ€" sponsibilities of those with wealth is to see that those with less of this world‘s goods may have the best possible opportunity for the best possible life. The only excuse that may be given for holding more than the normal share of the country‘s wealth is the idea that the holder has greater inâ€" dustry and larger talent than the average. This, even from a selfish standpoint, argues greater reâ€" sponsibility and enlarged duty. It is true that had a hundred or a thousand of the leading men | in business and industry gathered together some| years ago to make honest effort to devise ways and means to lighten the burdens of the public and right undesirable conditions in the country, the ery would have gone up to high heaven at once that the small group of financial highâ€"pressure artists were further seeking to control affairs That, however, is another of the penalties exacted from the rich and the powerful. They must exâ€" pect that sort of thing until jealousy flees the earth and men no longer seek to reap where they have not sown, and to attempt to keep their cake and eat it at the same time. It may be that financial and industrial control has been allowed to centre more or less in the hands of a comparatively small group of men. Some measure of hyperbole may be necessary in stating the case to attract public attention. It is a pity though that Hon. Mr. Stevens did not call attention to the matter years ago when the situaâ€" tion could have been relieved without too many complications. The present conditions did not grow overnight. se Pity the poor capitalist. Whatever he does is wrong! And if he does noâ€" thing that is still worse! Hon. H. H. Stevens is the John Peel of the huntâ€" ers of capitalists these days. In an address the iother day Mr. Stevens is quoted as saying that thirteen men control half of the $20,000,000,000 of Canada‘s estimated industrial and economical wealth. Mr. Stevens‘ statement is illâ€"advised and searcely within radio distance of fact. It would |be nearer the mark to say that Canadian wealth s under the control of about 1300 men. Stop and think of it and you can name at least thirteen men who have a very important part in the control of the wealth of the Porcupine camp, which, despite its importance, is only a part of the Dominion ofi Canada. â€" If thirteen men undertook to control the wealth of this Porcupine, they would soon learn that thirteen was unlucky. The fact that statements such as this one attributed to Hon. Mr. Stevens are popular does not seem to be justificaâ€" tion for its use. At the present time such stateâ€" ments create unnecessary and unmerited unrest where they are thoughtlessly accepted. It is a pity that a man who has done as much as Hon. Mr. Stevens to call attention to real wrongs that need righting should becloud the issue by citation of things that are not so. The idea that a very small number of people control this or that line of industry or commerce, is a very popular one, but that does not prove its truth. On the contraly it is easy to realize the absurdity of| some of these claims by remembering some inciâ€"| dent like that of a battle between rival interests. There was a case some years ago in the North : where rival interests fought each other in spectaâ€"|, cular fashion, and there were more than thirteen |: distinct personalities on each side. 1 | An article by George Gilbert reproduced else in this issue makes the whole question very It is commended to the careful perusai of a the meantime the general public would do consider the question very carefully and to emphatic protest against any illâ€"considered lation that would in any way prejudice life ing advant holders. ance stability or that otherwise might increased rates for insurance without e PITY THE POOR CAPITALIST C insurance without conpensat all policyâ€"holders good, on the part Tdainary way.

The Advance doubts very much if the schools or the school system is responsible for any noticeable measure of youthful criminality. On the contrary any careful observer would be inclined to believe that the schools are altogéther a notable influence for good. Instead of causing waywardness in youth, the schools and the teachers turn a large proportion of the youth of the day from wrong wavys.
