It is something everyone should be Interested in, either from an aesthetic or business reason. . . We might well make the city beautiful in order that we might have here something of which to be proud. It would increase our self-respect as citizens and help us to realize our importance in, the world. That would be a good reason for trying to make the city more beautiful. The other reason is that it pays. We can attract people here by giving them something worth while to look at. Every vacant lot improved, every stump removed, every window box planted, every garden cultivated adds to the general feeling of pride in the home town and the self importance of each inhabitant. It also should be a good commercial asset. The city council is to be congratulated that it took the matter seriously and if it can help in the general movement, it will be fulfilling Its function in that respect and be of benefit to the city. UXE.M I'LO VM ENT INSURANCE Opinion seems to be somewhat divided as to the value of unem ployment insnrance. It is claimed that in England it is a much abused measure, dae largely to the fact that the amount paid is too large. compared wiui the actual earning. In that way it encourages idle ness. The man who can get paid for doing nothing will not work, it is said. And it is bad for both health and morals not to work. The other picture is of course more important. In this part of the country where there is seasonal employment, some provision should be made for those who are thrown out of employment through work closisg down. People who have regular salaries and who have new been subject to this kind of thing happening, find it bard" to realize what It means to be without money or the mesas of earning. ! It is especially hard when there is a family dependent on those earn-! ing. It is one of the tragedies of our present civilization. j Of cowm unemployment insurance is spoken of as a sociaiis-i tic move. No matter what label is. put on it, the facts remain. Peo-j pie safe to suffer from want of employment. Since the employment bureaus hare become so successful and have systemiied their work, the making provision for those who are absolutely unable to get work is the next step. It has to be carefully supervised but in the lieht of the experience of other countries a plan ought to be worked out that may prove a success. SECOND CHAMBER GOES . Nova Scotia is evolving. That province which is not half as large as the cosstitutney represented ojr J. C Brady in the Federal House, has uatil now had two legislative chambers, Just as Canada has a House of Commons and a Senate. Tired of so much overhead and tampered in legislation by the legislative council, it has finally been decided to lop off the encumberance and this is the last session of that chamber. So Canada will some day find the Canadian Senate to be simply an excrescence. It will have to go because it is expensive and ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The proposal is made in another column than an athletic club should be formed here. Everyone will agree that it is needed, that there ought to be one and that there might .be one if the people united en seme definite course of actios. - The difficulty is largely a matter of leadership. Someone in whom the people have confidence has to get out and rustle for it and look after it when it has been formed. Whether this is the time of year to approach the subject, we are not ready to say, but it does seem as if some such club as mentioned ought to be organized here. Encouragement to athre'tlea is one of the fir.nl signs of advancing civilisation.
