TOPICS OF THE DAY.
One of Youth’s Privileges. •' Youth may think the generation which is passing,” states the Western Morning News, “has made rather a mess of tilings and left them an indifferent legacy. One of the privileges of youth is to think It ever there were excuse for such a cynical attitude it is to lie found in the history of the last quarter of a century and the present state of affairs. Youth can turn upon its mentors with a reminder that till' greatest war in history brought our boasted civilisation to the verge of ruin and vet was so far from conveying a lesson and a warning that every nation is now engaged in preparing for another outbreak to complete the catastrophe. The boon of sharing in the government of the country is, in fact, so little appreciated that its every extension lias been marked by the display of increasing indifference. Doubt may well be felt as to the future of democracy when in practice only about half the electors can be persuaded to go to the poll.”
