BSL er ------------ of Call To Business. Some thoughts follow the discuss ion of the light, heat and power com- mittee's report, 'and to the probable edification of the people, The first is the admission that the $34,000 spent in improvements during the seventeen months, during which the gas and eleetric plants were wider municipal management, to the oud of 1903, only $20,000 was covered by debentures which were issued with the government's consent. If the gas 'and electric oxtensions were consider ed like the water extensions the appedl 10 the ilievitenant-governor would be justified; not otherwise. It will be remembered that when the of wis' not woth Very much though a large fignre had to he paid in order 16 recover the Iranchise and control the business. As soon as plans could be petfecied extensions were made, but they were clearly outlined in Teports of which the council approved. The work was conducted under the con- tract system, but free of the defects 'which attended some of the gas exten- sions of last year. The contract sys- tem is all right when the contractors are rosy ible men and follow speci- fications to the very letter, The light, heat and power business was originally, as a public venture, like the water business, but it has not been developed, so far, in the same way. There have heen extensions on the piece-meal plan, and it is not sa- tisfactory for the reason that it is not comprehended hy the comncil. The expenditure goes on: of, 'As some- thing bas' to 'he: dens to deep the plants ramming, hut there is surprise at the end of the vear when it is seen that so large a heen extracted on maintenance account. There is to he vo more of this. The decision is a wise one. Yet it fol: that the/committee must get down to husineds, specify what chan: ges it desires at the power house and out of it, and what these changes will cost. Then it can go before the council with the budget preliminary to going before the people and ask- ing their' approval. Time passing rapidly. Three months of this year are almost gone, and the undertaking which was as- sumed when the change in proprietor- ship toak place, is not defined and presented to the council for serious treatment. lows is Ballot In The Bye-Election. The discussion of the numbered bal lot will do good. Tt will demonstrate that the promise of the government 'has not been fulfilled. In opposition the conservatives were particularly pr ced against the numbered Bal: lot. It was argued, in its behalf, that it was practically secret, that | the number 'upon it was only to be used in tracing and exposing crookedness, that there never was an attempt to destroy the secrecy of the ballot. Still the numbered ballot had to go. That was the demand of the con: servatives, and they were 80 noisy ahout if that when they succesded to power Something had to be done. prise was the keener, therefore, when the ballots used in the hye-alections were numbered, and. so if the figures nienace to political freedom--they wore when the public astounts' J shiowed ta to the deputy minis- Jn for arbitrations on conCracts in which the department expert whose : d very much desired as be- | BOVORment victory, that ° the public 'J tween private parties, but it is mani The city official, as an illustration, | sum as $10,000 has | from current revemues | Were an objection in one case--a | however, ot | 8 a Sans ballo ~--heing telegraphad p ' > from Kingston-- that the signe were favorable to a officials and license Bolders were ex- pected to vote for the government candidate. Why * The ballot was a numbered one. : It was pointed pout at the time that | the niunbered ballot Kad been nholish- ed, and that the seference to it was {peculiar in view of the conservative | attitude towards it. The appearance of the numbered: ballot in the election, however, seemed to 'have its effect upon some of the electors. Another Called To Rest. The disappearance: of another active and worthy citigen adds to the heavy loss which the city has sustained. The last three men to fall before the great reaper -- Geovge Richardson, Dean Smith, and, Dr. Walkem--occupied plac: os in the community which it will be exceedingly hard to Bll. The late Dr, Walkem was richly en: dowed for the various occupations in which he engaged, and he used his gifts in no narrow or selfish manner. In the legal profession, in the church, in the city coumeil, thé hospital hoard, the social club, and Masonic lodge, he was a tower of strength, bringing 10 every dity or function a ripeness of judgment: which had good effects. was Early in life he became conscious of the claims which the city had upon his time and talents, and he gave of them, and of his means as well, as oc- casion required most cheerfully. His participation in any local event was not of a passive kind. He put into it some of his life, his! energy, his earn- estness, ana they did:not fail to com- mand recognition: #7 anim ent i demegnor he was most 'approachable "al all times, most eourteahts, and most willing io engage in the consideration of any- thing of a publi¢ and useful character, He was a great lover of art, in any form, and cultivated a desire for it wherever he went. His-immediate sur- roundings testified "40: his * 'refining tastes, and his example was helpful to others in. their longing for the beanti- fal, At a time when the people are be- ing mightily moved towards civic im- provements he will be greatly missed, for no one was more ready and capa- ble with helpful suggestions. The call to men wha stood high in the city and influenced it with their presence is a call to their friends to be useful as they were, as active in every good work, and as worthy of the regard and affection with which their services are now remembered. its Hanna As A Jollier. Hon. Mr. Hanna, in the discussion on the numbered ballot, in the legis lature, played the jollier, amd = told of a visit to a certain public institu- tion of which he is the political mas- ter, to wit, the Kingston asylum for the insane. The provincial secretary says he told the officials that they were free to exercise the franchise as they pleased. He went out of his way to do this. . Perhaps he had an idea that they were curious to kmow what their boss thought upon the subject, and thus he talked freely on this subject, as he did on the Normal school, and probably with as much sincerity. | How very anxious these ministers, who came to Kingston during the bye- elections, were to show themselves to the government officials and license holders, to impress upon thant the idea; of absolute indiffercnce 8% tO the manner in which they voted. Of course, Mr. Hanna wonld not think of intercepting a grit elector, and of hanging his vote ! ; Yet Rockwood hospital was the Mecca of the party leaders during the bye-elections, and its officials snd the license holders were looked over with all the care and closeness of men who had a pagprietary interest in their fellows. One can imagine Mf. Wanna 'addressing Rockwood's staff, for in- stance, and assuring them that they fvould vote as they liked. Who sug- gested this talk * Why was it given ?

Sunday, and witnessed by bankers, brokers and hotel men, The tastes of some people run very high. Just think of the thousands of dol Jars that are wasted annually in par- fiamentary Hterature, the light and diverting fiction called insurance re- ports. It fatigued the Blackader brain to answer all the questions that Shepley asked him. The worry was over things, too, that were not printed in the blue books. -- The presence of so many lawyers in the insurance case suggests that the inquiry will degenerate into a talking mateh, It may and it may not, Wait a bit.

The hotel hen in Toronto are going to raise their' rates consequent upon the raise in license fees. A lift in har rates is to be expected, but why should thé rates for recms and meals be increased ? -- The Weekly Sun wants to know when the government is going to re deem its pledge re the equalization of taxes, and the placing of a laroer bur- den upon the railways. Hanna's plea is Be patient." It goes when everythine else fails. The bucget speech in the Ontario legislature fell flat. Why ? Mr. Mathe son had given away so much of his in- formation in advance that he had lit- tle left to tell. The expenditure was higher, and the receipts woulc be high- er--from license fees, succession dutie¥, and timber. If the income falls short the province can borrow money and sell bonds at a discount. What Colds ; Lead To Organ of the Body in Dan- ger From Neglected .Colds. DR. CHASE'S LINSEED AND TURPENTINE Most people know that such ail: ments as pneumonia and consumption have their beginning in a cold, but all do not realize that other vital organs of the body are almost equally liable. Not infrequently colds settle on the liver or kidneys, causing serious dis- ease of these organs, In other cases colds hang on until the system is run down and exhausted and so left in a fit state to fall prey to contagious diseases, The only safe way is to speedily get rid of all colds before they hecome fastened on the system. This can hest be accomplished by the use of Dr. Chase's Syrup of Lin- seed and Turpentine.
