This is being shown in connection withthe skipping of Wholesale political- dismissals. ' The publicity given to the Norman Watt case will be a wholesome warning in preventing the continuation of the system. vtfc , We believe it "will be vase to give 'the fullest possible publicity to the investigation which is to be held. This will be in the best intereste.pf everyone and especially will tend toward better government' It is to be hoped the in-J airy will extend to the methods of political machines, both 2 lonservative and Liberal, so that civil servants will have a measnre of protection against those who are seeking po-, sitions for political support. NEW POST OFFICE Writing in a club bulletin recently a local citizen said: i In regard to a new post office, this matter is progressing from being a necessity to being a scandal, and shortly it 1 will progress to being a crime. We have it on undoubted authority that plans for a new building.arq lyingi,prepared i but idle with the department, who are well aware of the crying need and are somewhat surrsdtat-no.con-! , certed efforts are being made to insist opperaed. 1 " We are not asking it as a favor; we are demancfingil a6 a 1 right and a necessity. Such things are obtairiable"by either j frabfie outcry or by political pull. If the public are too ethargic to cry out, then by all means the political asso-( ciations should be compelled to take action. Our climatic ', conditions are such (hat it works a very severe. hardship on thOie Who are Compelled to jniirnpy rrTrHfr rtry hrmn. dary in order to catch the mail or receive their mall. Troubles are for the weak. If you are bignouifh and strong enough mentally, spiritually-'UttU physically you do not have to have troubles. DOERS AND DUDS There are only two kinds of people in the world. Some one has called them the people that lift and the people that lean. For the sake of brevity let us name the doers and the dnds, says the Rotarian. We meet them in every walk of life. Almost every philanthropy, church, or fraternal organization must carry on through the earnest, sacnficial work of a com paratively small band of devotees. Too many men will not exert themselves except under the spur of necessity or! seme exuberant enthusiasm. It is so much easier to be a dud than a doer! Even in business the clock-watching, eight-hour map represents a surprisingly large proportion of any personnel. How can we expect a different situation m such n voluntary association as a Rotary club? Everywhere, ap- ijtirwiuy, a iew are carrying uie Durtiens and taking the lQad. It is a law of life. What, then? Shall we fold our hands 'in resignation and let lahorer and loafer remain fixed in their categories forever? By no means. The very injustice of such a cleavage is a challenge. Certainly in Rotary we can be Vigflantih seeking men of conscience and capacity to fill our vacant classifications. We can pile on the all-but-unwilling backs as much responsibility as they will stand. Perhaps we cannot eliminate the drones; but we can wage an unremitting warfare to increase the ranks of the doers and reduce the number of the duds. Above all, we can ceaselessly iruard aarainst beintr duds ourselvps. 3och a program can infuse new life into any Rotary' club. It will ineyitably tond towards a better balance be tween cnose wno -carry tne load ana the load they carry. Children are great educators. They not only educate their parents but also have considerable influence over their teachers. The C onsolidated Mining and Smelting Company of Canada, Ltd. Olllce.
