Crookedness In Busmess. "The meat business of the United States is not the only one which id receiving attention. The desire of the people is for pure food, generally, and the result is an examination of fruits, confectionery, canned goods, patent medicines and liquors. The public analysts have been busy, and 'they have made some remarkable discov- ries, Jast as the meat packers have been jaccused of doctoring their products so as to improve them in looks and fla- vour, by the use of paints, extracts and dyes, so the canners have been re- sorting to all manner of deceptions, some of them of the most deplorable be-{ kind, Incidentally a reference was made to the patent medicines for which there Do=| is an ever-incragsing demand.

The agitation for pure food, in solid or liquid form, may not be long con- tinhed, but for the time being it is causing many exposures and many ro- forms. The frauds of the packers are imply shocking. There is, according to one authority, less adulteration than formerly, but more "'misbrand- ing, cheating, and swindling by means of imitation foods; and the, evil needs immediate legislation," As a result of the laws which congress is' passing some craftiness in business will have an end, and it has had its swing long enough. Make The Audit Exacting. Wentworth county, through its coun- cil, has been giving another lesson on the necessity of doing the public busi- ness in a proper manner. A special audit has been made of its books, and the revelation has startled the eleo- tors. When they sent men to the coun- cil it was with the expectation that they knew what their duty was, or that they would study the situation and proceed with all the care and pru- dence which the circumstances called for. They failed in their commission, and goodness only knows what their excuse will be. The facts are these: That at least two of the wardens, 'according to the Hamilton Spectator, left the superin- tendent of roads orders on the treas- ury in blank, and that these, as used by the official aforesaid, represent the only vouchers there are for most of the money spent in Wentworth in the last two years. The superintendent simply filled out the blank orders al- ready signed by the warden, and without furnishing the slightest evi- dence that it was to be expended in the interest of the county, went to the treasurer, got the money, and so far as the accounts go, that was the last of it. The amount of money thus received by the superintendent was about $70,000, "In other words," says the Specta- Yor, "the men entrusted by the rate payers of Wentworth with the duty of keeping guard over the public money, simply allowed the road superintend- ent to take when he so desired as much of it as he felt inclined to take, and leaving nothing to show for what purpose it was taken but the signa- ture of , the warden, who, when he signed the blank orders, had not the slightest idea of what money was to be paid for, and doesn't know now what it was paid for, or if it ever got past the superintendent." More remarkable still is there was no audit of the sccounts, and thé men who were guilty of this unbusiness-like work--the whole council and not the wardens--are distressed for a reason- able and acceptable defence. The Ontario government has an au- ditor whose duty it is to help any county into the adoption of an eoffi- cient audit system. He is called on at times to tell a council where it is fin- | ancially, His labour is not as effec ' [tive as it should be. A reform in municipal methods can only set in when- every county is compelled to ad- opt modern * business methods, and classes, regulates the remuneration for rect. Moreover the law should forbid any council, eity or county, to pass accounts - despite the auditor's veto, : 8 Office And Its Rewards. Can you imagine a community - in which the p al pull is absent, and in which men 'are ealled to public of- fico because of their peculiar fitness for the duties of #63. Yet it is alleged to prevail in Australia, that land = of advanced ideas in the admipistration of public affairs. The statement is made on the strength of Henniker Heaton's article in the Nineteenth Century and for the information of all classes in the mother land. The question of patronage has been making trouble for the people of Eng- land as well as 'Canadd. The favours that may be disposed of by the govern- ment constitute the chief incentive on the part of some people towards, active political service, and when their party succeeds to power they claim their reward, The clamour , for office in Ontario, since the Whitney government has taken over the con- trol of public business, is generally understood. It has led to some scan- dals. It will lead to others, for the heelers will not be turned down. The Bannerman government has no doubt had its troubles, for the office hunter is not confined to Canada or the United States. Hence Heaton's reference to the experience of Austra- lia. "There," said he, "the patronage evil was rampant some years ago. It is unknown there mow." Mr. Heaton writes : "Instead of allowing public ser- vants to prescribe the amount of stary each is to receive, to badger ministers for appoiptments, and to threaten conscientious members with defeat at elections, each state parlia- ment has transferred the appointment, control, and remuneration of civil ser- vants to an independent tribunal, con- stituted for the purpose, called "The Bs. members, - able, like our high court judges, ex- cept by the vote of both houses. It enquires into the kualifications of ap- plicants, determines the nature of the examinations held for the higher cach class, recommends all appoint- ments and promotions, and hears all appeals and complaints." Will it ever come to this in Can- ada? It's an ideal condition, and ideals are not always realized. With- in politics, and government would be- come the occupation of the unselfish principles, and, unfortunately, it has been going mostly to the persistent ones, who, failing in their business or profession; think they should be pro- vided for by 'their country. ditorial Notes. The express rates will be revised by the railway, commission. The busi- ness will stand it. Is there any pure food? The en- quiry is suggested by what is going on in the American side. The most attractive goods are the most danger- ous to health, Wentworth will appreciate the audit system hereafter. If some of the councillors had to pay for their mis- management they would not be pun- ished too severely. The Crown . Life and Continental Life have not been helped by the in- surance commissioners. The extrava- gance of one and the stock transac. tions of the other are not to their ad- vantage. Hearst, the socialist, wants the workingmen to go into politics, and in that way direct and control pass ing lesislation. The workingmen would be as well to give Hearst the cold shoulder, - Do you understand the bitter and personal attack on Mr, Aylesworth ? He is understood to be a sensitive man, and the idea is to blackguard him out of office. The scheme will hardly succeed, Hamilton has been selling deben- tures at a discount. An issue of $178,000 in 4's went for $177,000, and the buyer was a local bank. Money market is not considered good for bonds at present. Here's a knock of the severest kind. Henry Watters; the chemist, before the commons committee, said that from seventy-five to ninety per cent. of the proprietary medicines in the market were "harmless and useless." He was endorsed by Dr. Reddick. Legislation is proposed. An English member of parliament was unseated because he treated the voters to téa and, cake at garden parties, while his opponent who es: tablished open house in the public house across the way was uncensured.
