EDITORIAL COMMENTS It is to be. hoped that th? conversion of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle referred to in another column is merely an indication of a general awakening of the British people to the real peiil of their position. The evil influence of the peuce-at-any-priee party in England and especially the Anglo-German Society which lias sought to lull the British nation into a feeling of false security by their blind piopngandn. in reference to the pacific intentions of Germany towards their country, is an influence that cannot be got rid of in a day, but better that it pass slowly than not at all. The most seiious feature is that it has been men in authority who have been tainted with it. Compromise and puerility have been doing their fatal work and "conciliation to the point of flabbiness" has advanced to such an extent that even, as one noted writer puts it, "the Minister of War, with a rotund person and face of a cherub, answers attacks, not in the voice of Mars, but in the falsetto and piping tones of peace.'' Time and again Minister Haldane has demeaned" himself and his country by his crawling attitude towards Germany and his absurd attempts to have Germany abandon her warlike preparations, until he has filled the Germans up with conceit that they have Britain scared out of her boots. Both in the House and out of it Radicals are incessantly manifesting almost abject terror lest a word be said in Britain that would indicate that Britain would even strike a blow in her own defence if attacked by Germany, and the result of it all is the fostering of such self conceit in the mind of the average German as that given expression to by this General Bernhardt.

Advertising brushes away cob- -webs and dust, smartens shop .windows, quickens the intelligence of salesmen, and lets in the sunlight. Advertising, makes the merchant think of you���������of your wants and needs; makes him anxious to serve you to your liking and advantage. Advertising keeps stock from having birthdays.. Advertisingacquaints you with new things, and so brightens your home, your life, yourperson. Advertising keeps a business from growing lazy and stupid. Advertising in jects good red blood into the arteries of a business, and keeps it healthful and active. __L Shop where your "wants and needs are uppermost in the mind of the merchant. Shop in the store which reflects you, which you dominate. Shop where your money returns to you in better goods, better values, better service. Shun the shop that is dumb and dark and dreary; keep away from the shop that never speaks to you, never smiles at you, never bothers about you. Reward by your custom the merchant who lives to serve you, and who is doing his utmost to build up this community; who takes you into his confidence by means of advertisements in your local newspapers. HI HI HI HI HI Smile back at the shop which smiles at you. Shake hands with it���������keep company with it���������your favor will- be returned to you tenfold.
