All the soulless machinery that has been put into the world, the fleets and armaments, the re-enforced concrete of tremendous buildings, the mileage of railways, the co- lossal steamships, cannot dispense with the force of mortal \and human control. Steel cannot replace flesh and blood nor electricity function in the place of nerves nor any auto- mation supplant the mind. That is why it is a mistake to impress on men and women their inconsequence in the uni- versal scheme and to tell them that they do not matter; that they mgiht as well not be; that there are so many per- sons upon earth and we are small and inconspecuous when we and our world are measured against the stars. Not the least impressive comment is the series of signs for level crossings proposed in a cartoon by George Shields in the Toronto Telegram. There is an ironic touch about these which may drive the lesson home. Here they are: Don’t Stopâ€"You Might Escape Disaster. Don’t Lookâ€"You Might See a Train Coming. Don’t Listenâ€"You Might Hear a Warning Whistle. Each Week End Adds to the Level Crossing Toll. How About You? Railway Crossing 300 Feet. Go Right Ahead. It’s Your Funeral. _ ‘ It is possible that these might not prove practicable, but a motor car driver should at least remember that it is always train timeâ€"-and that whatever advantage is held by the biggest battalions is on the side of the train. Complex adjustment in statecraft and the mutations of world politics prove again and again that the processes of social evolution, though deliberate, are not impersonal. Again and again there is a crisis which demands a man and a leader of men. Till he comes upon the scene there is con- fusion; among the leadership there is groping and specu- lation and an eager quest of light. The mounting toll from accidents at level crossings is occasioning a good deal of comment throughout the country these days and newspapers everywhere are calling atten- tion to the necessity for care in approaching such crossings in an automobile. Each of us, in his own place, at his own work, does more than report for a duty and fulfill a routine and collect the reward of his performance according to its quality. Each has a responsibility to all the rest, and the others‘de- pend on him‘ even as he looks to them in turn to play their part. It is a democratic age and the public holds the only absolute sovereignity there is. But that rule is a composite of What we severally and individually are. Despite the discouraging economic conditions which one encounters a trip across Canada to the Pacific coast is a delightful experience and to View the scenic wonders of the Rockies is a long to be remembered experience. The trip was made under ideal weather conditions and true to their reputation we found the westerners most hospitable and the people of British Columbia did everything humanâ€" ly possible to make the visit of weekly newspapermen from all parts of Canada pleasant and profitable. Enjoyable sideâ€"trips were arranged by /which we were enabled to see not only the scenic wonders but also the industrial and fruit growing activities for which the coast province is noted. The seasons have again brought autumn aoundâ€"aut- umn with its fulfillment of the promises of spring and sum- mer in harvests of field and forest. And now, with its rustle of falling leaves, with its wind gusts that hint of chilling blasts to come it sounds last call for outdoor sports. With its sparkling sunshine, its crimsoned and purpled forâ€" ests, its gold-carpeted fields, autumn beckons one and all to go out and play. The Westerner has endured too many hardships in days past to be easily discouraged. With faith in the asâ€" surance that “seed time and harvest shall not fail” they have carried on from year to year. Despite a crop failure they plow the once fertile prairies and sow again. In some districts after as many as five crop failures in succession they are still preparing for next year and smiling through their disappointment in the hope that next year will have a different story. This is the kind of spirit which is carry- ing the Canadian people through one of the most distressâ€" ing and most difficult periods of history. Nature is preparing for its Winter sleep and autumn has been cast to enact its retiring role. That sleep may mean death of many of this year’s glories, but autumn goes about it right gallantly. There is no somberness or mourn- ing or melancholy. It moves cheerin on the way appoint- ed. It dons the most brilliant dresses in nature’s wardrobe for its tryst with death. It mixes tonic in the air and serves it to man in invigorating, intoxicating manner, and bids him drink it in, to his good health. The gods, the Indians and all of nature’s people draw philosophy from the change of seasons and learn to face death cheerfully. Why can not civilized persons be as wise? Deplorable as are conditions in the larger centres of population it is a remarkable fact that the most heart- rending tales of distress in Western Canada come from the rural areas weher Agriculturalists are absolutely up against it and actually in want. Contrary to the general conception that no matter how hard times may be the farmer can al- ways at least make a living, conditions in many areas in Western Canada prove the contrary and it is hard to picâ€" ture the privation and distress which obtain in many dis- tricts in the prairie provinces to-day. OUR TRIP TO THE COAST A trip to the Pacific coast which the writer enjoyed this month revealed nothing more convincing than the fact that everywhere throughout Canada very strenuous econ- omic conditions exist. The Northern Ontario settler is struggling against big odds to wrench even a bare living from the great northern areas of this province and likewise the agriculturalist on the prairies is finding it hard battling against drought, crop failures, small yields and still smaller prices and added plague this year of grasshoppers. In Brit- ish Columbia the fruit farmer is threatening a strike to obtain prices for his product which will ensure him of at least a return of his cost of production, and the laborer and artisan like his fellows in Eastern Canada is finding only the odd day of employment. 7 _ _ n DON’T LOOKâ€"YOU MIGHT SEE A TRAIN COMING Established 1878 AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT RICHMOND HILL THE LIBERAL PRINTING C0..
