Pel latt sent from Southampton, on the eve of their departure from England, expressive of the Canadian conting- ent's thanks for all the kindness it had been accorded, reads strangely. Why ? It had been generally under- stood that these men were sorely dis- appointed with the manner in which they had been treated. They were not quartered as they desired. They were not at all conspicuous. They got wet. In Canada, during the camp season, they would not mind a soaking, but in London, and in connection with the king's coronation, they did not look for this. Considered closely the plans for the care of our men were about as good as The cirbumstances Would permit The contingent was not to be on ex- hibition all the while, but it was duly recognized. Some men were given posts of homor. All of them had as good treatment as Tommy Atkins, who is the ideal soldier and the pride of the nation. - Let us hope that the Canadians will get over soon the seeming slight that was put upon them. They visited Lon- don when it was under pressure They did not get just what they pected, but in a great jam, on a great occasion, they got the best that was going, and they ought to be sat: isfied. Their commandant, in his fare- well words, practically apologizes for the rash things that were said with out much provocation. ex- WHAT IS THE CHANGE ? The Toronto Telegram is out as the advocate of popular representation. It refers to Quebec and contends that it has a larger representation in parlia- ment than its population warrants. "Quebec's system of electoral divisions is not intentiously a gerrymander. In effect the Quebec system is the worst gerrymander in history," says the Telegram. It is the product of a gov- ernment which embraced 4 number of heaven-born conservative statesmen. What does our contemporary recom- mend ? Is there a remedy, and what is it? The pessimist--the fellow who forever dissatisfied and disgruntleyl, who is forever seeing things going wrong and making no effort to right them--is not the ideal citizen. 'The Telegram is impressed with the fact that the Ross government for the time being does not. réprésent the po- pular vote in Ontario. This, it alleges, is being treated as an unimportant incident. Is it ? Is the Brantford Ex- positor, as alleged, laughing at the discomfiture of the tories? It is not justified in calling attention to an his torical fact, that the electoral system has produced before what is regarded as an anomaly now ? The tory gov- ernment has had thé advantage of re- presentation which was not according to the popular vote, and it was all right because a tory government rul- ed. That was an important incident to which attention can, very fittingly, he called. If the people are to in a popular way--if the majorities in the provinces rather than the major ities by counties and electoral divi- sions gre to be represented in parlia- ment--there will have to be a change in the manner of electing members. Proportional representation has heen suggested as gq solution for the pro- blem ? What does the Telegram pro: pose? It is easy to find fault. It is not. #0 easy to conceive and mend. in be represented com- THE RIGHT OF PRIVACY. The right to use a person's pictare in a public advertisement has been tested in Rochester, and disposed of in a retnarkable way. A young lady was surprised to find that her photograph bad been procur- od, surreptitiously, lithographed and printed upon 25.000 placards which a flourishing establishment posted up. The picture was the attraction, and it brought the complainant worry and illness, for which she sought compen- tion to the value of $15,000, The money would not sooth her feel ings, but the success of her suit would somewhat relieve her of the woamclal of publication, and put a 'check upon the offences of cheeky per- sons. In the fist court she won the case. She was granted damages, but bok the amount claimed. The court of of litigation having effects which would "do violence to settled princi ples of law by which the public and the profession have long been guid- od." Such a conclusion is directly com trary to common sense. The publica- tion of some of them in strange connections, has comment, but the publications have usually followed the consent of the parties affected. The publication with- out consent--in the face of the vigorous protests and expressed disap- provais--is simply an outrage which should not be tolerated on any ac pictures, occasioned count, A---- CAUSES OF FAILURE, It is the practice with the leading educational institutions to have the students adaressed by men of promin- ence and experience. The speaker of distinction this year at the University of Chicago was Bishop Spalding, of Peoria. The bishop is a man of affairs. He attention wholly ecclesiastical evervthing does not apply his church history and law. He enquires into which concerns the people, and so he to caused no surprise, when asked to lec- ture before the college, by discussing the causes of success and failure. "Qeven-tenths of the failures record ed in Bradstreet's last year,' said he, "were due to moral faults, chief of which was® incompetence, and only three-tenths to causes over which the individual has no control." In other words men have bern en gaged in pursuits for which they have had no qualification, and no tastes and no liking, or they have been un- mindful of business, and by their ne- glect have brought on bankruptey. "Success ourselves, not what we said the bishop, and he added, apparently with the mental picture of ruin by inheri- tance before him : "Too many young men are left with millions, which drag them down into the slough of animal life." Money at the beginning of life, lots of it, robs men of the ambition which makes them put their talents to some account. It is the desire for a competence that makes men work in their and work hard, with varying effects. When that com- petency is reached the ambition can- not be quenched. Then, rightly con- stituted, men should become genuinely unselfish and public benefactors. The remark of a wealthy citizen, in this community, cannot be forgotten. He said he used to take pleasure in made it' quietly. pleasure is in in possess," good early life, making money, ana "Now," he observed, '"'that is gone." Why? He had enough for his own needs. He could help others, and he had But he had been impressed, like Bishop Spalding, by the incompetence of the masses, and by their indispositiod to use their opportunities, their time, their done so. talents. The constant check which philan- thiopy is receiving comes from the idleness, the indifference, the ingrati- tude of the people. They do not re cognize, as Bishop Spalding has pointed out, that success is in them- selves, and that failure, when not due to circumstances over which they have no control, is due to their incompe- tence, and that it may arise from want of knowledge, of energy, and de votion. ---------------- EDITORIAL BRIEFS. The Spectator is very guileless. Is everything which the independent press has said about it correct? The coalition yarn is referred to as treason by the liberals and impudence by the tories. It has been happily la- belled, -- It is proposed to teach French and German, orally, in the public schools of Toronto. There is not enough in the curriculum now. -- Mr. Hughes, school inspector, Toron- to, has been going a good many times, but he is not gone yet. Has he been playing a game of blufi ? -------- Rev. Mr. Harvey is imitating Mr. Sheldon, of Kansas fame, and is read- ing from the pulpit successive chap- ters of a book he is about to publish. That is one way, the cheap way, of advertising a book.
