efficient secretary daniels has now issued an order forbidding all unnecessary work on the lords day there is to bo no target practice nor drill and no vessel shall begin a voyage on sunday except in case of emergency this energetic christian secre tary is strongly criticised in certain quarters but he succeeds in his undertakings and 13 highly esteemed by those who have the interests of the country at heart while the union governments majority shrank by about a dozen votes on tho budget li vision the very substantial majority of flftyonc was maintained the vote was taken at jialfpast two last thursday morning amid scenes of intense interest atid excite ment in his speech sir thomas white minister of finance said this budget represents a sincere at tempt to keep stable the industries of this country in this unstable time and at the same timo to go as far as wc can to meet those who are legitimately interested in the tariff he advocated a tariff policy for the whole dominion and not a tariff framed in the interest of one class in the community or one section of tho country it is regrettable indeed that numbers of the physi cians of this province have so prostituted their honor able profession either for financial gain or for the purpose of discrediting the ontario prohibition law that theprovincial authorities have found it neccs- sarvi tako drastic action to curtail the evils rcsult- ingt some fifty ontario doctors will receive from the board of license commissioners nt once a plainly worded warning that they have been issuing far too many prescriptions for liquor and that unless they immediately give the board proper assurances that the number of orders on the government shops will be reduced or prove that the prescriptions issued were rightly issued instructions will be issued to the government agencies to refuse to honor any further orders from the offending physicians proposals arc how being made which appear to bo more likely to provide solution for lreland3 long standing difficulties of satisfactory government than any scheme heretofore advanced- an influential or ganization is being formed under- the name of the irish dominion league it is composed of men who believe that an irish republic is unattainable and un desirable but think that a prompt measure of home rule on the fullest colonial iine3 is urgently neces sary the proposals mark a large advance on the provisions of tho 1914 home rule act or the two pre vious home rule bills and their promotion by men of position is regarded as significant of tho growth of home rule opinion and the urgency of a settle ment the many sincere friends in canada of ire land will hope that at last a measure may be enacted which will conserve the rights of all equitably and result in unity happiness and prosperity for this longsuffering andin many respects superior people the timo has surely come when the abolition of the senate should become a real issue with the people of canada twice during the present session have bills been vctoeij which were clearly in the interest of the general public the first d june a bill pro tecting the streets of all municipalities from being encroached opon without permission by the big cor porations was rendered null and void last week the government measure for the continuance of pro hibition for a year after the signing of the peace treaty was rejected by this act the senate blocks the way to dominion prohibition allies itself with the barroom and renders it possible for the liquor interests to maintain tho traffic in intoxicants from province to province irrespective of the actionof the respective provinces it is hinted that the govern ment will refuse to concur in tho senators amendment the order in council preventing intcrprovincial sale and transportation of liquor will in that event ro- mnin in force until the war is over the attitude of the senate unttcrly contemptuous of public opinion must be circumvented and it looks as if this could only bo done by tho abolition of the irresponsible body the convention of liberals of ontario is being held in toronto this week with the purpose of prepar ing a platform upon which to go to the country at tho neat general elections this is manifestly timely the united farmers of ontario have been nominat ing candidates for some time their policy has been formulated and is before tho public tho policy jf the government is also well known it is therefore desirable that the liberals of ontario decide defio- itelythcir policy naturally agricultural problems should occupy a largo place this ia important remedies must be round if possible whereby tho diversion of more pcoplo to the laud from town and city may be accomplished- tho decrease of population in tho agricultural districts must be overcome if ontario is to permanently thrive the great qucs tions of the construction of good roads and tho extcn sion of- hydro privileges to the
