Had the Hoiit Kone to its Mayor or Clerk tt would have received the necessary in- formation without wasting a lot of type making invidious comparisons. If Hanover has 1000 voters on its list it is entitled to a Deputy. The Clerk of any municipality which has 1000 voters is obliged to issue his lllrilseaa voters is obliged to issue his election notice to that effect and have a Dep- uty nominated. If Hanover has the required number the fault lies with the Clerk, and there is no nigger in ' the outside fence. m\)m ;ii;f)e (ZCibe ii XotDi Sometime at eve when th' tide is low, I ;ih:ill slip my moorings r ;d sail away With no response to a fri idly hail Of kindred craft in a bu y bay.

Editor THE HOSPITAL dlKSTlON r The question of supporting our pul)- lic hospitals in this province appears to have hi en stttled by retent legisla- tion, and it should not l)c any longer necessary to look to charity for funds to carry on. Hospitals art- allowed to charge $1.50 per day for patients in the public wards. In case they can- not collect that amount it is simply a matter of charging it up to the county In which the patient has been domi- ciled. 1 1 fad they do not even have to make an effort to collect it. Then if the county wishes it may charge up one half to the municipality from which the patient is sent, and that mu- nicipality his to pay the bill. This applies to all public hospitals in On- tario. Such being the case, it ap- pears to us to be quite superfluous and altogether unnecessary for hos- pitals to go to their county coun- cils and to the public for donations to help carry on their work. It is quite possible and probable th.-tt free grants and donations will in the near future be climirated entirely where these institutions are concerned. Another thing worthy of attention in connection with hospitals is the multitude of n:w institutions which have sprung up sinco the world war- hospitals for which there was no cry- ing need. Ostensibly they were cre- ated as "memoriable" hospitals for the towns in which they were located, but largely to assist local physic- ians in their worl'. This class of hoBpital has l)orn gpttln'r county :!R- sistance. Perhop:- hsid they not been getting this. some, at least, of the "mcmoiiable" hospi'riN would have been merged into the larger institu- tions before now, bceausp the natron- age would not Ii^vo been anything like !;ufficient for their neods. It seems to us that the On'uiio Gov- ernment should have some say in re- straining or controllln;,' the super- fluous erection of h-ispiials. Now that It has rocognlsed the principle of stand-nnd-deliver. it should at least see that this thing is limited to the actual needs of the country and not made the means of pandering to pri- vate purses and ambitions at the ex- pence of a long-suffering public who are obliged under present laws to find the necessary funds, whether they wish or no.

Why his official and the mine managers did not discover these deposits, and dear the mine of them, long before now, it Is difficult to understand, 'hough one excuse is that no one was 'fraid of an outbreak of fire in a gold â- nine, where, unlike a coal mine, â-  here are no inflammable products,; Fresh air is a necessity the year \nd the mine is always in very damp round.

'that we have plenty of fresh air. There is the other explanation that! One reason for the incre-.sc in the this fire may have been caused by number of communicabl? diseases, the careless throwing of a cigarette particularly of pneumonia, during the or cigar but into the pile. We have ! winter months, is because the body is seen no intimation that smoking ln,-'*tarved of fresh air.
