CURRENT COMMENT Russia Seeks a Modus Vivendi. M. Tschitcherin, the Soviet Commissary for Foreign Aflfairs in Russia, ji recognizing the compromise principle which has been the distinguishing feature of British politics, since the British nation became a political organ- ism. When two opposing forces meet in mechanics they find a mean, and the Russian socialism and the British capitalism must find some common ground as M. Tschitcherin now admits. It is the beginning of the dawn of reason in Russia, for only reasoning beings can compromise. Of course, there can be no compromise with positive evil, but in practice, it is a most difficult business to identify any comprehensive national policy as positively evil. It was only when Germany broke loose in 1914 that her policy was seen to be essentially evil. No .such view can be taken of either socialism or capitalism. The patriarchal system is a combination of both. It is con- ceivable that the common phenomenon of alternation in human aflfairs may be detected in the centripital and centrifugal aspects of capital and socialism, first as the republic and the monarchy are found to alternate in the longer cycles of histoiy and reach a compromise in Britain at present. "There may be a difference of opinion as to the duration of the capitalistic system," says M. Tschitcherin, "but capitalism exists and wc must make the best of it. A modus Vivendi must be found, so that our socialist state, and capitalistic states can exist and negotiate with one another for the best interests of all. British statesmen have been the first to recognize this necessity," which is one more tribute to the sound common sense of British statesmanship. It must not be forgotten that Russia is striving after an ideal. If we saw and felt as Russia does we would act as Russia has done. If the Russians saw and felt as we do they would have taken a different course since 1917. It is useless to find fault with a man or a nation for not being something else than what he is. The Republic of the United States had to do business with the monarchies of the old world. No doubt the Russian Soviet Govera- ment will be able to sustain similar relations. FILIPINO "SUMESE" STICK TOGETHER Home Rule May Develop Unexpectedly. Sir Edward Carson's reply to Herbert Asquith, M.P., in the Home Rule debate left nothing more to be said. Mr. Asquith by his admissions had cut the throat of his own offspring. How, asked Sir Edward, could he go to Ulster and ask his followers to fight to protect Ulster if they rejected the Lloyd George bill, which gave them control of six counties? This is un- answerable, but the wonder is that it was not perceived years ago. There is not the slightest doubt that the Ulster counties would be administered with efficiency and with far more satisfaction to the people under a Home Rule system of their own than under the present costly and complicated method in which eveiything has to be referred to London. Belfast could not repair the Albert Bridge or widen the Queen's Bridge over the Lagan without expensive legislation carried through the Imperial Parliament. Bel- fast business men would be quick to see and to utilize the advantages of decentralization and parts like Coleraine which complained bitterly as long ago as 1825, as may be seen from Thorn's official directory at the loss of trade deliberately taken away by the English Government, will look for revival and expansion. The more efficient government of the Ulster coun- ties may have an entirely different effect on the whole Home Rule situation than is anticipated in some quarters in the United States. It may be the south that wants to join the north instead of the very different conception now held. The Quiet Observer The little Filipino "Siamese twins" who now live at Washing- ton, D.

Happiness and success in life are largely made up by the way we view things. Success that is not wrapped up in happiness, true happiness, is but an empty triumph. This talk of looking at. things from liifl'tTfiit viewpoints reminds one of the story of the man who was advised to visit Mudbury on the Ooze. We will call him "Jones." Exploitation of Electric Power. A huge, far-sighted and perfectly feasible scheme has been planned in New York and made the business of a gigantic corporation to be known as the Electrical Power Co. The idea is to obtain control of all the sources of power not yet exploited, to develop them, and to sell the energy as light or power to cities, railway companies or other consumers in whatever form lequired. The conception is a natural outcome of the work of the Ontario Hydro Power Commmission, whose work has been watched with the closest interest by magnates of every description. As soon as electric power was re- cognized as practicable it was seen to be an unusually easy means of ex- tracting tolls from the public, and the tolls in such cases are usually regu- lated by one limitation only â€" what the traffic can bear. This singularly vicious principle tends to build up a fabulously wealthy class and to create divisions in society, which are not good for the people of a nation, either individually or collectively. So long as the common sense or the moral per- ception of a nation has not risen to the level where such undue levies are regarded as bad for all concerned, it must be the duty of governments to protect the people from the rapacity and plundering instincts of those who use power and opportunity for such ends. It is a magnificent idea to utilize all the waste water powers of the continent, water falls, river flow, tidal forces, and coal from mines located at places where transportation is not to be thought of, but the generation of power would enable the transmission of power to oe accomplished. All these sources of power are the natural wealth of the nation, and the nation as a whole, should have the benefit of them. There can be no objection to pei-mitting those who undertake their development to have a reasonable profit from their enterprise, but there should be a strict supervision of such projects and a limitation of the exactions to be permitted from the public. The ideal methods of such de- velopment is that adopted in Ontario under the Hydro Power Commission, hut failing this private corporations should not be allowed to plunder the people through the exploitation of the people's own resources. This is what has led to the growth of socialistic sentiment and defenders of the capital- istic and competitive sy.stem, should have the good sense to see that in the case of what are natui-al monopolies founded on the national resources and common needs of the people if private enterprise is to have a hand in them at all, it must be under conditions of moderation in charges, of considera- tion for the public in service, and generally the observance of such condi- tions as will anticipate and forestall the advantages that have been derived from public ownership. The prevention of stock-watering, and the restric- tion of capitalization to the actual investment made would go a long way to placate the demand for public ownership and service at cost. .liines was badly in need of a change. This fact was very apparent to all his tiieiuls. He had long possessed an air of being "fed up" with life, grouched about his work and everything gener- ally. Mudbury therefore was described ari the ideal remedy for such a condi- tion. ' ' Mudbury! ' ' scoffed Jones, ' ' the name doesn 't sound very inviting. How- ever it was described as a most allur- ing village with hnautiful walks an<l views. .loiies airiveil. First impression.s, as he stepped off the train, were certainly not conducive to uplifting his drooping spirits. The outlook from the station platform was dreary iiv the extreme, and as Jones had unfortunately carried his jrroiiehy outlook with him, this added to the very obvious untidyness of the immediate surrounding districts, almost put the finishing touch to his despond- ency, when â€" along came the friend with the other vision. "Hullo, .Tones, old boy! Glad to see von!" lie said in a hearty voice which in itself was calculated to snjito the worst case of dumps. "What are you doing down here?" "That is just what I am asking my- self," said Jones. "What a fool I was to come to a hole like this!" "Hush," said the friend, "you're tiilUin;; too soon, come with me. What's the good of criticising any place until you have explored it? To the left of Mudbury station was a gigantic hill. Towards this the two made their way. The friend with the other point of view chatting in his bright tones all the way. An hour later from the top of the hill, even the pessimistic one was in raptures over the wonderful view which stretclieil out below him of vi'rdant valleys, pietures(]ue streams and glor- ious country which held so much prom- ise of rest, hearts-ease and happiness." "It's a great country," remarke<l the friend, "when you look in the right direction.' ' Jones' attitude is unfortunately too conimoM witli many of us in every walk of life, carried into not only the out- look on life generally but the inlook upon the things that lie close to hand, the daily work and its opjiortunities. "I am so limited," you hear many say. "There is no scope for me.'' That is one point of view, but the man who has the possihiiities within him must break through the hard shell of seeming indifferenee >ipon the part of others. He will make the scope; he will find the way. WAS OTHELLO A "MOOR"? Mathesou I^ang baa produced "Othello" in Loudon on a scale of couipletenoss satisfactory to modem scholarship and stagecraft, and a con- troversy has arisen whether Othello was a Moor or a negro. Mr. Lang points out that the "thick lips" re- ferred to by Kodcrigo are characteris- tic of nearly all colored races whether Egyptian, Moorish, Indian, Kaffir, '/â- uiu or pure negro. Ho thinks it more in keeping with Shakspeare's idea of tlie poetical and beautiful character of Othello to portray him as a high-bred Moor. He uses the costumes of the year 1490 or thereabouts for his pro- duction, as Shakspcare 's imaginary expedition of the Turks to Cyprus did not result in the Venetians being driven from the island as was the case in the later historical expedition.

Whenever folks don 't know each other very well or can't tind anything better to talk about, they usually dis- cuss the weather. In some climates this doesn't offer a particularly fertile topic for conversation, but in New York it's something else again, for New York has more different kinds and a greater ;nii()iiut of weather per capita than any other city you can find on a time table. 'I'li.'it 's the rea.sou this story is per- One doctor in one of the smaller cities of the province had issued 2,005 pre- i fectly legitimate and reasonable ami Cases For Discipline. Medical men have a right to complain of the stigma cast upon their pi'o- fession by the small number of men who have violated the spirit of the Ontario Temperance Act. Respect for law is expected more particularly from the educated and professional classes than from others, and even more particularly from medical men than from any others. The testimony of "Mr. J. D. Flavelle, the Chairman of the License Board is, that ninety per cent, of the medical profession issue fewer than ten prescriptions a month. "The other ten per cent," he declares, "are bedevilling their profession." scriptions in a month. This is not a matter of temperance, or indulgence, or prohibition, or license. It is a matter of observing the law. When the people through their representatives make a law, if the learned professions set an example of contempt of the law, of disregard for the authority of the state, of concern for their ovm interests and opinions only, what can be expected from those less intelligent, less educated ?

In the meantime, as the serial scenario writers say when they wish to express coincident action, Miss Hansen's chief villain in "The Mad Tahui," one Warner Gland, was try ii;g to get to New York from that same California, but was being success- fully stuck in the snow somewhere out arouml Oshkosli. 'I'liis is merely inter- jected to show the length and breadth of the weather conspiracy which was cooked up to keep Miss Hansen from liking New York.

A great tragedienne is being herald- ed in England in the |>eis(jn of .Miss ISybil Thornilike, who has taken Lon- don by storm in her impersonation of Medea in Prof. Gilbert Murray 's trans- lation of Kurijiides' (Jreek" tragedy.

Monsignor Phillips was (Jumccllor of the Denver diocose of the Homan Catholic Church for thirty years past, and falling into poor healtli returned to his native country last fall 111 the hope that the lower altitude would benefit his malady. He was born in Baptisean, Quebec, Mav 5, 1855. The point is that both these eminent United States clericals were British. Dean Hart was born March a, 1838, at Otley in the vale of the Wharf, Yorkshire where his father had been vicar He was ordained in 1868. He had a use- ful and distinguished career at Black- lieath, London, and jiaid a visit to America for his health in 1872 In 1870, urged by those who had been impressed by him seven years prev- Huisly, he consented to settle in Denver and at once set about building a cathed- ral, and had it opened Xov. (i, 1882. It \vas destroyed by an incendiary May 15, 15)03, but the Dean, nothing daunted set about building a new one and a sphuKhd cathedral was finally com- pleted and the first service held on Nov. .1, 1911. There were difficulties to be overcome; one of the chief being that in September, 1909, it was fcuind that the pillars wore inadequate to sup- port the roof. The great Gothic mass had to be taken down and rcerected at a loss of $,SO,000. The Cathedral of St. John, with the Chapter House and land, cost altogether $300,000, which should encourage the promoters of the Cathedral of St. Albnn in Toronto. Dean Hart remained a Briton until the summons of the war trumpet led him to file his first papers for United States citizenship, .\pril 23, lOKi, when be was 78. His final application was made .Tan. 17, 1919, and lie became an ,\meri- ean citizen in March following. Not the Man, but the Office.

There is a great deal to be said for the impersonal atti- tude of members of the Government. They represent Canada, and Canada has a right to the utmost respect any citizen can give her. Too many people forget that miniatcrs must ob.serve the decorum of their office, whatever thev may think personally, and in the most democratic governments there is still much of "the divinity that iloth hedge ••i king." An instance of this occurred in the experience of two reporters in Quebec during the Ter-Centenary cele- brations of 1908. They were "in the citadel and deemed it necessary to see the Governor-General, Lord Grey. He was dining in a certain apartment and had to pass an open and unguarded door to reach the staircase, and here the reporters took their stand. Very soon Lonl (Jrey came along the corridor. As ho came abreast of the door, ' ' Your Excellency," they cried.

No Cohesion With Hate. It is announced that the former Crown Prince of Germany lefu.ses to live near his father. No doubt father is hard to live with, but so also is son. There is more In this than meets the eye. It is a fixed principle in nature that there can be no alliance permanently among elements bound togethei' only by hatred and bitterness. Love is the only binding force for any per- manent union, w-hether it be a family, a nation, a political alliance, or what- not. An example of this is seen in Ireland, where the principle animating the party of murder and a.'^sassination is not love, but hate â€" hate of England and not love of Ireland. It is impossible for .such elements to continue permanently in co-operation. They develop hate for each other, becau.se they deal in hate, and all the world knows the re.sult. This disintegrative tendency among those who work by evil methods is one of the natural laws of the universe, whereby provision is made for the pre.servation of virtue, the maintenance of ju.stice, and the eventual reign of righteousness. It is .iust as scientific in its operation as the law that prevents water from be- coming denser below 39 degrees Fahrenheit. Othei-wise the ocean would be- come solid ice. People who deal in murder and hate cannot stick together. They lack the elements of combination. Many people throughout the province are beginning to look with regard upon the big overgrown village where the provincial legislature and the pro- vincial university are located. They have had but little effect on the nninicipal life of Toronto. Municipally. T'.>ronto is a generation behind its growth. With a revenue and expenditure estimated for the current year of $30,000,000. the city council has never had more than one or two men in it capable of dealing with business of such magnitude. The permanent officials have great resiion- sibilitles and the finance commissioner, Mr. Thomas Bradshaw, has shown re- markable cleverness in handling the city finances during the last six dittlcult years. What Toronto needs in her civic life is men of $30,000,000 calibre, and young men at that. The older generation of civic politicians belotig to the last century and have no conception of the modern methods of handling the prob- lems of a city of half-a-million people. itiug system in his igloo. But heiiig a fearlcs.s serial heroine. Miss Hansen ultimately heeded the call of I'atlie, hired an ice pilot and braved the frozen wastes of Manhattan where tropic sun- shine and orange blossom scented zephyrs are as scarce as ])rune8 in .an oyster stew. Just to eelebrate tlii! event, New York staged the worst winter since IH.SS, or some siudi year. The snow fell as if it never intended to do anything else, the sleet piled up so deep in the street that the harassed property owner had to con<luct mining operutioiis to tind his own sidewalk, the wind romped along about ninety inihs an hour and the street (deauing dejiartnieiit went to the Bahamas, or some place anyway, they didn't streetclean much to spe.ak oi'.

Did she sit down and bewail her fate? Well, not to any noticeable ex tent. She .just went and rented Texas Gninan's studio in Greenwich Village, got out her book of snapshots showing Sunny California at its sunniest, and said, "Let it snow," or words to that effect. She knew she could get to (Je<irge Seitz's studio when it was neces- sary, and when it was she set forth studio. "That was the tliiiught New York was to be buried in snow.

The Joyful Game. There never was .-i greater season for hockey than that which has Just closed with the winning of I hi' Allan Cu|) by the Falcons of Wiiiniiieg. Dur- ing the season there was an unusual amount of competition in the various rounds and interest grew very keen towards tho dose. The University team, which had never been regardeil as in tln' running, juilled itself together anil niauaged to upset all calculations. Univer.sity is uot a popular team at any time, for some reason, perhaps be- ing regarded as representing Toriinto. although it is actually an all-Ontario aggregation. It had not been antici- pated that the team would do iiinn than compete in the inter-eollcgiate series, ami good men were )ierniitted to line up with the Dentals, etc., who might have strengthened Varsity.

Varsity played ganiidy against the Falcons but will ingly admitted their defeat by a better team, and by one, too, which played in a manner altogether worthy of A United Grand Army. .V well-defined get-together movement is ai>parent in the ranks of the several veteran organizations. A meeting in the Chateau Laurier, Ottawa, indicated that the difficulties in the way of union were not so great as had been supposed. Hepreseiitatives of the Great War Vet- erans, the T.'nited Veterans League, the Grand .\rmy of Canada, His Majesty's .\rmy and Navy Yeterans' League, Naval Veterans' League and the Orig- inals' Club found themselves in essen- tial harmony, and moved with a com- mon desire to wipe out past misunder- standings and bury personal differences. It can scarcely be doubted that this consummation will be reached. The strength of such a united body would be very great, anil those who under- stand tho soldier spirit best, and the patriotism of those who fought for their country overseas, are confident that it would hcnetit the whole country to have an active patriotic body of this kind taking part in public affairs.
