Toronto Tries Control (Continued from page 1028) running business carried on in contravention of the laws of the United States. "It is not at all," he said, "a question of the statute law of Canada or of Ontario. It is purely a question of public policy that is to say, public policy in the administration of the law by the courts which is essentially different from what may be public policy in the Public view of the legislature. . policy in this sense, or policy of the law, has been defined as the principles of justice, morality and convenience applied by the courts in matters concerning which the law is not explicit. Under this doctrine . . . freedom of contract will be restrained for the good of the community where the con . tract conflicts with the morals of the times or contravenes some important established interest of the social order." He declared the contract void with the statement, "It is for the people of the United States to determine their own laws, and it is for the law abiding. people of other countries, including Canada, not to lend aid or comfort to ill disposed persons within their borders in their violation." The American cynic may say that a Canadian court acted against rum running only when the chickens came home to roost, but the fact remains that a Canadian court has acted, and that in accord with the policy of the Control Board. The problems of that Board would be simpler if the United States were not a prohibition country but, its problems being what they are, it appears to be trying to solve them without complicating those of its neighbor.

An astounding message that electrified the world A -and stirred men's souls as no other fiery message ever written. FTER a trying day spent in vain endeavor to persuade comatose "help" to become "radioactive," Hubbard sat down to supper discouraged and exasperated. The problem of making men act for themselves weighed heavily upon him. What to do? In the course of a little argument over the teacups, his boy, Bert, made a suggestion. The hero, he insisted, is the man who goes alone and gets there! For instance, that chap Rowan! When we declared war on Spain, he found his way into the mountain fastnesses of Cuba with a message from the President of the United States to the insurgent leader, General Garcia. It came to Hubbard like a flash! Yes. the boy was right. The hero is the man who sets off by himself and reaches his destination. He got up from the table, went to his desk, and in a single hour wrote "A Message to Garcia." The March Philistine was on the presses. and room was made for the "Message," but its author thought so little of it that he ushered it into the world without even a title! Within a week of its first obscure appearance, orders for extra Philistines in lots of hundreds, even thousands, began to roll in. "What is stirring up the cosmic dust?" Hubbard asked. "That stuff about Garcia," he was told. Hot from the Heart! "A literary trifle." it was modestly dubbed by its author. Elbert Hubbard, famous Sage of East Aurora.

The most important evidence is now Sacco and Vanzetti, the shoemaker and the fish- A Link in the Evidence Were they innocent or were they guilty? Disinterested people spent seven years in trying to free them; Governors and College Presidents took sides for and against them. Their friends said: "Men who can talk and act and write as they do could not be guilty." Their letters must be regarded as an essential part of the evidence. You can be the judge. Minds in the Making such stuff as this the new citizenry is being made. The letters present the other side of Americanization the immigrant's side. Their point of view is worth understanding-must be understood-if the adjustment is to be smooth. International Sponsorship Charlestown, Jan. 10, 1921 DEAR ALFONSINA: ... I heartily laughed to hear that the finger-nails of the little cat have scratched the Zora's nose, and I continue to laugh every time I think about it. Surely it is a good lesson not only for Zora and other child, but for mankind. The little cat knows very well that it has sharp nails, and that when a little girl molests it, it is. enough to scratch a little her nose for be let free. People too has sharp finger-nails, and the noses of tyrants and oppressors is make of flesh too, but it look as tho the people ignored this notion. Oh how much less sorrow and misery would be among the mortals if they know just what a little cat knows. . .

IN ANY SOCIETY which is to endure, the administration of justice is one of the foundation stones. For if through error or prejudice one man can suffer injustice at the hands of the law, there is no guaranty that another may not also and, given other circumstances, that other man may be you or I. Once men lose faith in the administration of their laws, society is on the road to disintegration. IT IS for this reason that there is laid the upon press of any country the profound obligation of eternal vigilance and close scrutiny where courts, legal procedures and lawyers are concerned. IT is in response to this obligation that The Outlook and Independent prints in this issue the results of its investigation of the conviction of Bartolomeo Vanzetti for the Bridgewater hold-up. Judges, like other men, are human, in their capacity for error. So are lawyers. Men accused of crime may be poorly defended, or dishonestly defended, as well as honestly and ably dealt with. No man in his senses believes that all judges can lay aside their prejudices and opinions when they mount the bench. Juries are human and make mistakes. Το YET, our system is the only means we have of dealing out justice and protecting society. We can improve this system, but we cannot discard it. keep it functioning at its best requires the vigilance of every good citizen to see that the fewest possible mistakes are made, that innocent men are not wrongly convicted, that incompetent judges are retired, and incompetent or dishonest lawyers disbarred. THIS journal passes no judgment in presenting the results of its investigation in this particular case. It lays what it has honestly found before the people and opens its columns for comment to Governor Fuller, his Advisory Committee, the attorneys for the defense and for the prosecution. IN THE END, society always finds that full discussion and open debate is the best way to conserve what it has. To that end, we hope all concerned in this particular case will co-operate with us.
