It could be called a scan- dal of the most flagrant kind because the Whitney government was pledged noisily against transactions of this kind. ' There is a reason for the silence, however. When the Murphy case "was sprung on the people the ministers and their apologists came out in fa- vour of it. Everything about it was correct. The province was on the way to making money by the contract. Presently the facts came out and then there was a scuttling of the cham- pions of the government to cover, Some of the conservative pressmen saw the futility of seeking to defend the contract and so called for the cancellation of it. History may repeat itself. The Tealey's Falls franchise may have to be cancelled by the government, It must do this if it is to, claim the vir tue of consistency, Meanwhile the press is giving the ministers time in which to meditate and complete their plans. The Cochrane story is faulty. It does not satisfy, The inference is that if the minister of mines is bound to get himself into trouble he can get himeell out of it. It is not a very comfortable reflec: tion for the big wigs who rule in Queen's Park, Toronto, but it will have its effects. > Men Before The People, The democrats seem to have been gratified with the speech which . Mr. Bryan made on his return from Eur- ope, It can be regarded as the open- ing of the campaign in the national election though the clash at the polls will not take place until gwo 'years hence.

But he 'save the people from railway conspir- acies and eventually it may be neces sary to appropriate the roads and run them in the name of and. for the benefit of the people. Public ownership is 'a great venture, and Mr. Brvan is not certain that his own party favors it.. But he realizes that federal con- trol of the transcontihental lines and state control of state lines may be the fair play and honest treatment which What of 'the money question? My.

The_explanation may take on more or lo OF tn ty, but on that account it will 'not lack "dnythin~ as a cam- paign subject. The difference between the two ne who stand out most con spicuously before the people, Roosevelt and Bryan, is this--the pne would fight theovils of monopoly through the trusts and railway companies ; the other would strike at the root of the evil, and by tariff revision and publie ownership. make combines and conspiracies impossible, No Deception Anywhere.

The tendency to sharp practice is not confined to the few. It affects all classes 'of the people, It is found in every vocation and walk of life. It is easy scoring it and pouring con- tempt on those who dabble in it. The harder thing is to recognize truth and honesty in every trade and ecall- ing, to the end that the cause of so much reproach and regret may be radically removed. But the moral re- form that is wanted must come as a great wave and sweep over the land. touching and regenerating all classes and conditions of people. Autos vs. Street Cars. The Toronto people may find some relief from the indifference and inca- pacity of the street railway com- pany in the proposition to put auto busses on the streets for hire and pub- lie accommodation. In the summer months there could be no pleasanter method of communi- cation between given points, and, pro- vided the fares be reasonalde, the patronage of the busses would be be- yond ' peradventure, The electric street railway has been the later means of travel within the city limits up to the present. But there are signs that it has somewhat served its day. The street auto can do better, can meet the contingencies of travel and at a reduced rate. Fail ing in this regard there may be a turning to the new bus, but not as it is at presont constructed. The auto is capable of immense ox- pansion. It docs mot cost, in its larger form and for public service, much wore than a car, and it can be run anywhere and meet conditions that Bre not ' possible or ayailable to a street railway car. There is the prospect, too, of auto busses on the country roads, i con- necting the villages yt Bus busi: ness purposes, An auto owner is _ put thority for. the statement that ere long; perhaps next season, autos will be cabrying passengers and freight on the present stage routes, and doing the work quicker and better than any horse-powor rigs can do it. under the Whitney government the annual expenditure has increased a als were in power , they: Ware called ex- travagant | and wasteful.

Frank Cochrane, minister "of lands and mines. takes the wround that the government is in no measure committed to the question of 'sunnly- ing power anywhere, hut is committed to the principle of assisting munici- palities to secure it. He takes the ground that the minister of lands and mines is the supreme authority on sich matters and that the Hydro- Electric commission is purely an ad- visory board to assist the covernment to carry out its pledges to the peo- ple. There is conflict between Hon. Adam Beck, chairman of the Hydro-Flectric Power commission and the minister of lands and mines, Hbn. Mr. Cochrane, and it would not be surorising if Hon. Mr. Beck passed in his resigna- tion as minister of the cabinet to Premier Whitney. Hon. Mr. Beck has taken the oround all alone that any and all water powers should become the propertv of the people throush the assistance of the ~overnment, and that the commission is the body throuch whith these matters should be dis- cussed; The fact 'that the anvlication of the Northumberland-Durham pow- er company is four years old makes no difference to the principle of the policy of the government it is claim- ed, and. moreover, Mr. Bick is not of a constitution that has anv' burning desire to play second fiddle to the minister of lands and mines or anv other nortfolio. It is also claimed that fixing the price is not a suffici- ent protection to the nreople, and that a bad precedent has been set by adooting a policy that was deprecat- ed jn the Ross government.
