"No leader can work without luck," said Mr. Boyce, "and the greatest men have the most luck." He ecocmpared Charmberlain and Hitler in terms Oof these qualifications sumâ€" ming up the case with the fact that Chamberlain possesed one of these qualifications, while Hitler lacked none. A crowd is always seeking flattery, and possesces no sense of humor where itseclf or its leader is menticned. Its laughter is of a derisive nature, and its feolings atre primitive. It has inâ€" hibitions, and seeks a lower level, where it will not be punished. "Civilization," stressed Mr. Boyce, "may depend on all people not following the crowd!" Mr. Boyce mentioned that even great poets, such has Kipling, had put into their works the thought that all people must not follow the crowd, and in closâ€" ing, asked the audience to remembetr the words of Disraeli, "With words we govern men." Mrs. Austin Nsame, who tock the place of Mr. Wm. Kenney who was unable to appear on the programms, played two piano selections, "Andante," by Mendelssohn, and "Spanish Dancs."‘ Two very popular members of the club, Mrs. G. F.

Miss Dodge, of the Gift and Nook. delishted the audience with aA difficult violin solo, accompanied by Mrs. Sipprell at the piano. Following the programme and elecâ€" tion, afternoon tea was served. The tea table was set very attractively, centred with tall red tulnps and cissus. Mrs. J. Knox and Mrs. prell poured tea, and were assistc serving by the executive for the 10. year.

A third joint charge of keceping for sale was dismissed before all the evidence had been taken and a fourth charge in which Hodges and his wife were prinâ€" cipal witnesses, was dismissed without a hearing. The Hodges said that, while in the employ of the Police Department they bought and paid for beear from Gerâ€" trude Latandresse and liquor from Percy Cofte., Each of the accused perâ€" sons was sentenced to serve three months in jail at hard labour. In the third case, against Walter Kobas and his wife Helen, the evidence given by: the Hodges was badly shaken under crossâ€"examination. Their times conâ€" flicted, and despite aid of copious notes they got into verbal tangles. Magistrate Atkinson declared a reâ€". cess, during which time he conferred with the Crown Attorney. On his reâ€" turn to the bench he said: "I have been thinkins this matter over and there are certain things about it I do not like, I don‘t like the idea of hirâ€". ing persons to go out and buy liquor from these people apparently in good faith and then return and testify against them in court. I am beginning: to feel that this matter is doubtful and dangerous and when I feel that way I always give the benefit of any doubt in my mind to the accused." His Worship recalled ‘Gertrude Latâ€" andresse and Ccts and quashed his own sentence and dismissed the charge. He dismissed Kcobas and his wife anda dismissed a charge against Rometo Rochon which had not been heard. Admitting that he was in the employ of the police department, Hodges, tostiâ€" fying in the charges against Gertrude Latandresse and Bernard Whitmarsh, said that he went to the home of Mrs. Latandresse on April 9th at 11 p.m. With him was his wife. He bought four pints of beer and ‘paid twentyâ€"five cents a pint. He was served by Mrs. Latandresse. Whitmarsh was in the kitchen at the time. Mrs. Hodges corrcborated the ¢viâ€" dence given by her husband. "There is nothing to show that this man had anything to do with this,." said the Magistrate at that point, disâ€" missing the charge asainst Whitmarsh. On her defence, Mrs. Latandresse said thait the statements of the Hodges were "falsoâ€"not true." She never laid eyes on the couple except when they came to her door looking for furnished rcoms. _ Agrecing with the Crown Attorncy‘s statement that "there is no reason to disbelieve Hodzes and his wife," Magis. :tm-tc Atkinsou sentenced Mrs. Latanâ€" dresse to three months hard labour and declared her place public for a year. at Next charges wore agzainst Percy Cote ind Anbanee Lannigan.

He was paid a little money ‘"now and again". Last Saturday hce received $10. The $50 mentioned was to be used as expenses. Also, a job at the mins was mentioned. Hodges said police told him they would do what they could to get such a job. "What about your wife," asked Mr. Kester. "Was she to work at the min® also?"

Goid reserves then were but $7,850,000, and the provisions of tne low would have required silver to the value of $2,617.000,000, from which could be deducted the $898,200,000 aiâ€" ready in reserves and in circulation, or a ncot in new purchases of $1,718,800,â€" 000, approximately 1,300,000,000 ounces at $1.293 an ounce. This was about six times the average annual producâ€" tion of the whole world in the ten preâ€" ceding years and over twenty times the averaze domestic production. From the above reserve of gold in June, 1934, stocks have increased to $15,478,509,355 on April 14, 1939, so that close to 4,000,000,000 ounces of silver is now required to completely comply with the law. At the end of February, 1939, value of silver monetary stocks had risen to about $3,345,000,000, or 30 per cent more than was contemplated when the law was passed, so that about $1,814,503,000 more silver, around 1,400,. 000,000 ounces, is still required to mset the required ratio and, of course, furâ€" ther increases in gold stocks will necesi. tate upward revision of silver requireâ€" ments. Increase of Gold, Silver, Might Help Equilibrium All that is true, we admit, but what we cannot understand is why, with the economic conditions of the world in the state they are taday, nations of the mworld do not seize upon silver as a means of putting intrinsic value beâ€" hind the colosal, tottering burden of debt which is surely engulfing us all. Silver is still the ultimate value with nearly half th» population of the world and it scems ic us a little sensible conâ€" sideration «[ that a.~ ~‘her facts would lead to rehabilitation c‘ the metal alongside gold, a position w.. n it 0câ€" cupied until seventy years I% is within that pericd that the worla met its mos devastating depress:Oons and witnessed the most lopsided coaâ€" ditions of international trade. Consideration is now bsing glven to a further increase in the price ol col86, at least in some quarters, Is not ihit an admission that there is not enough of the meal to go around, and is it not a fair and logical conclusion that the accumulation of nearly 80 per cent. of the world‘s gold in the hands of thrge nations has had something to do with the worldâ€"wide unrest of our times? Eccnomic pressure is responsible for more trouble even than hate, desire for power, or spite, and is always thne underlying urge to modern wars. Parâ€" tial renouncement of the golden shibâ€" bolecth at this time by restoration of silver to the sixteenthâ€"ons ratio, or $2.1875 price per ounce, might help us and it cortainly would give the United States the power to loan silver to naâ€" tions in agrsement on the plan and thus accomplish something â€" really worth while for rchabilitation of a world apparently shot to pieces, Powassan News: Somcthing must b?e done about the inability of those no longer young enough to get jobs.
