Fawin Markham, has prophecised that woman will be the saviour of the race. She has been a sucosssial housekeeper, she can and will be 8 successful government re former, for what is government but housekeaping on a larger plan. "H men and women," he remarks," could be assured of labour to the end, labour under humane conditions, la bour assuring -a sufficiency and a little leisure, how much of the fret and carp of the heart would' be smothered out, how much dishonesty, how much drinkenness, how much servility, how much disease, how much suicide would disappear from the ways of men. Now for the point of the article : "HH the women of America would band together for this one thing, band to- gether to secure to each the r~ppor- tunity to make a living, the pitiful army of the unemployed would disap- pear, and the terrible days of enforced idleness would be no more. The allied women of America could do this thing for the women of the nation make the public opinion of the nation, and public opinion is the strongest bar in | the hand of fate." ' The most that can be said of this is that it is a very pretty sentiment. There is nothing very practical about it. Of the influence of women there is no doubt. It is immense and it far-reaching But how it can be is em- played in connection with some new form of unionism, in guaranteeing work and leisure to the masses, not at all apparent. The great defect of the poet lies in the fact that he will veil his thoughts in indefinite language. Mr, Marhem may know how woman is to emancipate the n- dustrial and busifess and social world, but Ke" has not made that point quite elear in his writing. Is union there is strength, and in public opinion there is a vital ener gy that finds expression in the action of public bodies. But there is a great gap botwedn organized labor and the is - Hil Breakfast Food For Wesk a4 Siokly Summer Sas Apwetites, + The Great * Gives Energy, Vigor and © Life to Brain and Mus- A Se cle Toilers.

Twen- grocers, ideal for which it has ever struggled, and it i impossible to conceive of a new experience by transferring the struggle from the men to the women, CROSS CUT AGUMENTS. The only cure the World can think of for such a tie-up of the streets cars as has occurred in Toromte is muni: cipal ownership. "Ta our mind," save the World, "the only cure for the strike disease is public ownership. The interests of a corporation and its employees seem to be essentially antagonist c, and as Jong as private control continues there will be trouble between the two opposed factions. Ownership by the people would remove the worst ele ment in the relationship between em- ployer and employed. In case of the civie ownership of a street railway system the motorman or conductor is in reality the employee of his fellow citizen, that is to say, of his fellow workingmuan, and between such em- ployer and employee disputes as to wages are not likely to arise. If the city had not some years ago parted with its franchise, the present incon- véniénne would not have occurred." The pity is that Toronto, as a city, did not try municipal ownership when it had 'the opportunity. For years it huogered for 'possedsion of the streot railway and rejoiced when, eventual: ly, its-ambition was gratified. But the property no sooner became a civic trust than it was parted with. What wid the motive which influenced the council in its action? Ove is curious to know because Toronto should have bien Able to run & street railway as well as any city in England or Scot: land, and its failure to try the experi- ment is a mark agains it. The World supposes that the would be no difierences of opinion in regard to wages when the railway jan beonme the employee of his fel srkmen. Has the public corpor- ation} no troubles over the wages tion? What is the attitude of the in the Pilgrim, | m------ and service. There has to be an in- crease all round, a proportionate in crease and a readjustment, of revenue to expenditure. In Toronto the street ear company i# under agreement to give certain fares at 'certain hours, and give to the city, besides, a certain percentage of its income. It may de- mand a rearrangement of its affairs, tand to increase its fares or cut down its contribution to the city hy the amount of its increase in wages. In this proceeding it would be only fol lowing the practice of the private em- ployer and the city, according to the World, can have no objection. ---- FRAUDS IN FRUITS. There is trouble afresh in' England over the deception which some fruit men have practiced in the packing of their goods, In spite of all that can be said, in spite of the warnings that have been given by the officers of the government, in spite of the inspectors and. the marks act, the fruit is not going forward as it ought to do. The fruit men cannot get over the wick of burying indifferent and even bad goods on the heart of the good. ft is tolerated in Canada, though the man who commits the fraud upon the consumer suffers more in conse quence than he surmises. The deal er in berries who will use false bot toms in order to scamp the supply, and scatter afew plump berries over the top of the baskets and make people believe that the contents sre the same all through, make any money out of the transac- tion. It reacts upon him and his business, So' it is in England, though the reflex action is more geute ly felt. Mr. Robertson, the dairy commis sioner for the dominion and a man of affairs, has declared that the Eng lishman wants a good thing, and is willing to pay for it. That is, "he wants it the same all the way through." Mr. Robertson says that a lot of fine fruit finds its England, but 4 lot also goes which is not so fine. He pvarrates a story in evidence of this. On one occasion he saw three barrels of apples--supposed to he the best-- turned out, and the middle of them was filled with rubbish! The object lesson was more expensive than any one can imagine. The Americans, some Years ago, con- trolled the cheese market. They . led in the manufacture of a superior ar- ticle. They lost their preference and trade, because abroad their cheese did not turn out well. This experience should teach Canadians a fact of general importance, namely, that deception does not pay. The gov ernment ix doing its best to have the fruit sent to England properly packed, but it cannot do everything. The fruiter bas his responsibility, and he must carry it with the sciousness of what it means. ------------ EDITORIAL NOTES. London is after the Noxons, the im- plement makers of Ingersoll.

The Company Will Not Ask For a Bonus--J. D. Thompson Brings Matter Before Council Committee on Industries To Act. Citizens will be pleased if the scheme which J. DU. Thompson unfolded be- fore the city council at last nights meeting is carried into ehect Mr. Thotpson intormed the council thyt there was in process of formation a company that desired to do business here. 'the names of the men forming the company and the nature of the above enterprise must neces sarily be kept quiet, for obvious rea sons. The company desired to obtain un option, good for sixty days, on the old smelter site, the price to be txed by the council. The company would not ask the city for a bonus, but in event of locating here would like the council to arrange to have the waterway deepened to the site of the proposed works, The company, would, however, ask to have its as sessment fixed at a certain rate per annum for a term of years. lhe com- puny would spend upwards of $20, Vu on buildings and plant and at the outset would employ 150 men. the only thing tbe company desired for the present was a sixty day op- tion on the site. The speakers only interest in the scheme was that of a citizen, wishing to advance the city's interests. After the company had se cured the required stock, the details of the concern would be laid in pro per order before council, In addition to the option the company would like to be fwrnisned with a sketch of the site, its approaches, ete, Ald. Meleod was sure all citizens would be glad to hear of a business finn desiring to locate here. It was the first time such a business proposi- tion had been laid before the council, The company did not ask for a bon us or exewptivn from taxes, which was most encouraging. He moved, se conded by Ald. Craig, that the may- or be authorized to sign such ao cp tion as asked for, the price to be $U,000, and to be made out in the name of Mr. Thompson. Ald. Craig secon the resolution to allow it to be brought before the council, but reserved the right to vote on the measure as he considered it in the best interests of tho city. Ald. Behan said that some mouths ago be bad asked for certain inform- ation regarding the city's 'position 'with reference to the property in ques: tion. He favored the scheme as out lined by Mr. Thompson. Ia reply to Ald. Behan, Ald. Wal kem stated that the guestion of own ership had been discussed by the fin- ance committee. He was uncertain of the city's position in the matter; the city solicitor should be asked to look into the question, Regarding Ald. Me: Leod's resolution, he considered it a little irregular, inasmuch as it did not contain a penalty clause to safe guard the city against loss. : Ald. Kent advised the council to move slowly. It might be a scheme to . secure the release of Mrs. Mc Laren"s bond of $3,000. If an op- tion were given, Mrs. McLaren "migot come forward and ask to be relieved of the bond, off the ground that ihe city had received a bona fide offer for the land, which would clear ber of further liability. Ald. Farrell considered that the standing of Mr. Thompson was wuf- ficent guarantee that the city would not lose anything by giving the op tion asked for. At the same tine the council should . know from the city solicitor just where the city stood with regard to the title of the land. Ald. fehan supported the conten von of Ald Farrell; the council should know for a fact that the op tion covered only the lana acquired by the city for smelting purposes. He was of opinion that the only relief Mrs. Mclaren could secure was in the Levent of the city selling the land with: out loss, In amendment, Ald. Craig moved that Mr.. Thompson's request be ro ferred to the committee on industries; it was too important a matter to put through the council off-hand, and when the council had machinery to deal with such matters, that machin: ery should not be overlooked. Al. King stated that if referred to the committee on industries, the mat- ter would be deait with immediately. Ald. Mcleod was assured. that there were three other industries anyious to obtain the property, and delay should not be tolerated. ° He thought the city would be making a good deal # the council could sell the property for the amount paia for it, £9,000, Ald. Graham took the same view of the case as that of Ald Kent, that if by giving a sixty dav option, the city would lose Mrs. McLaren's bond, the. city would be at a serious Foss, At the end of sixty days the concern holding ths option might say that the site was not suitable, in which case, the McLaren bond being surren- dered, the city be unable to iy itsell against loss.
