Editorial Correspondence
VICTORIA, B. C, August 17. No one up here seems to be
expecting war. And yet if England declared war on Germany
tomorrow, we doubt if anyone would be surprised. That's the
temper of the place at least, as we see it, after visiting the
two newspapers, and talking with various people along the way.
What is itf a sort of fatalistic apathy, a kind of hard, weary
cynicism. On the surface hoping for the best, far down beneath
fearing the worst, but determined not to throw a fit, if the
worst suddenly should drop like a thunderbolt from the sky.
-
Chatted with a private soldier sitting on a bench along the
quai, a young chap who had enlisted because he couldn't find
work. He wasn't in the world war, but his oldest brother was
the latter enlisted when he was 15 and was captured by the
Germans at Vimy ridge. It was hard to get anything out of
the lad, he wasn't unpleasant, but he had the Anglo-Saxon
aversion to talking with a stranger. But he did say he hoped,
and all the lads in his outfit hoped there wouldn't be a war
in Europe.
"I erd enough about what war's like from my brother, and
this one would be wurse. He says he wouldn't go for nobody,
he. says he's done his bit, and if they tried to draft him ee
would resist. He climes all the boys who been over there feels
the same way 'bout it. I dunno I guess if Germany hopped
on the home country he and everyone round here would pick
up a gun and fight. But fightin' the Hun jest because of some
other country like Spain or this Czecho-Slovakia, guess that
would be different. Oh I haint stayin' up worrin' bout it, if
there's trouble I'll do me bit, but I like it round IIERK and
hope they keep on over THERE as they have for so long a
time now growellin' a lot, but lettin' it go at that."
. . . .
The newspaper view is, whether there will be war in the
near future or not, is ANYBODY'S guess. It has been expected
for so long, and has been avoided so long, that the general
feeling rs that somehow it will be avoided a considerable time
LONGER.
The city editor of one of the papers, he is a war veteran
himself confirmed the report of the soldier boy's brother,
namely that the Canadian veterans of the last war would be
solidly against taking any part
of self defense,
"No more fighting in Europe
ernment has practically pledged itself that in case iingland
gets drawn into war, Canada will not go in, unless the repre
sentatives of the people, in special session VOTE for it. As you
know we are entirely independent, a self-governing unit, ana
there is no legal obligation to take part in war even though
the mother country becomes involved. But if Japan should
get rambunctious and start something in the Pacific off this
coast, we would hop to it so fast you couldn't see us for the
smoke. And we would work hand in hand with your country,
too. In fact I have a pretty strong feeling there is an under
standing between Canada and the United States regarding
trouble in the Pacific. Maybe not. But I do know England
is building the strongest forts in the world right here on
Vancouver Island, and in ease of trouble with Japan those
forts would not only' protect Vancouver and Victoria, they
would protect Seattle, and they were built that way, I know
that too.
The newspaper boys all wanted to know why it is that all
the Americans they see up here, are against Roosevelt and have
been for Beveral ynrs and yet "whenever they have an election
of any sort down here Roosevelt
We gave our explanation, familiar to readers of tins column,
that the Americans who come
of the property owning, proprietary class, and Roosevelt s sup
port doesn't come from them. If they (the newspaper bids)
would hop over to Sealtlo and talk to the longshoremen and
taxi 'drivers, and attend a union labor mass meeting or two
they, would find the answer to

Yes, that's it, that is the
by and large and those who are generally satisfied with things
as they are, arc against him, and those who aren't arc for
him. As everyone knows, particularly in the present state of
the world, the latter outnumber the former, approximately
ten to one."
Well that 'a the same situation over here of course. It's
particularly true over in Alberta, whero Premier Eberhart is
in control. Ho hasn't been able to put over his scheme of
giving every one $30 a month,
he has worked hard and is still
fairer division of wealth, help the masses of his province, in
every way he can.. About all he has accomplished to date has
been to reduce tho price of money, he forced the banks to
lower thoir interest charges, but he still claims if the people
will stick to him he will bring them a sort of earthly Paradise
like this man Townsend promises down your way. Well, I was
over in Alberta a while back and I didn't find, a newspaper
man who was for Eberhart, nor a banker, nor a business man
but ho won tho lust election and 1 am betting on him to win
the next one. And lie is entirely honest about it, just deluded
that's all. The people are quick to sense that, his sincerity
I mean. They haven't got what they were promised, but. they
figure ut least the majority of them, that they would rather
have a man in control they KNEW to be working FOR them
even if he ean't deliver all he promised, than to take a chance
on anyone else. I guess it's a problem in every democracy in
creation today and I am not so sure it hasn't been, since the
days of Homo and Greece."
As an indication of how Victoria is going modern, please
note the conservative Empress advertises Billy TICKLE and
his ten-pieee orchestra, for the dinner dance Saturday niyht!

THE MAN WITHOUT TEETH
In the "vertlcle mile" running race
up Pike's Peak road from Crystal
Creek to the summit 13 miles
distance, Just one mile higher than
the start-
lng point ten
out of fifteen
runnors who
started were able
to finish the
race. The man
who finished sev
enth was 40
years old. Pew
men of forty-flvs
can run a mile
on the level,
alL
much less up
grade. Most men
or women forty or sven thirty-five
yesrs old would become completely
wlndei and have to stop running be
fore they ha4 covered one-half mile
even at an easy Jog.
But there was something still more
remarkable about the achievement ot
this man, for besides finishing the
gruelling 12 '3 -mile uphill race It ap
pears that he ran without teeth. Not
that teeth are of rnuch use when one
is running a race. This man appar
ently regarded his teeth as a handi
cap, for he removed them and left
them In the keeping of a cop at the
start of the race. When the man had
crossed the finish line well ahead ot
three other runners who carrlad
their own teeth he was cheered by
the spectators, and of course Invited
by the broadcasters to say a few
words to the radio audience. But the
cop who had his teeth was far down
the mountain somewhere. Must have
been an embarrassing moment.
If a man without teeth of his own
could retain such marvellous physical
efficiency or vlte. what a great cham
pion he might have been had his nu
trition and health been properly con
trolled in his youth. '
Still, his performance speaks well
Indeed for the dentor who. made and
fitted the artificial teeth, for the
man must have put his store teeth
to good everyday use, else he could
never have withstood such a strain.
I hspa no dentifrice or brush man
ufacturer will try to get the runner
who won the race to tell the world
how he brushes his teeth with so
and so. No doubt the 45-year-old
runner who committed himself so
well formerly brushed his teeth with
some highly recommended dentrlflco
It does seem that the more faith
one has In the efficacy of tooth
brushing for the prevention of da
cay, end the less thought or atten
tion one gives the subject of nutri
tion, the more likely one Is to suf
fer from dental carles, cavities and
the loss of teeth. Not because brush
ing or the favorite dentrlfice does
any harm, but merely because plac
ing confidence In the efficacy of that
rite tends to encourage the practice
of Ignoring or neglecting nutrition.
The loss of one or several teeth is
not of great Importance, so far ai
health Is concerned, provided one
does not try to limp along without
suitable dentures or artificial teeth
to replace them. Bight here Is where
too many Individuals nvike a serious
mistake - they compromise with
health by false economy, attempting
to save a few dollars by having
cheapjohn dentistry, mskeshlft den
tures, poorly designed and poorly fit
ted artificial teeth which they cannot
use for the mastication of food.

Sir Edward Mellanby, English nutri

Answer There are now more than
thousand milk bars In England.
Ought to be fifty thousand such
places In U.S.A. milk, cream, butter,
cheese of all kinds are as beneficial
to the health of Americans as they
are to Finns.
