Great Sinners And Their Dues. ~ When some people read of the Mo. Gill and McGee senténcos they mar- velled at thiir lightness. The McGill case is not finished. Ovly one phasd of it has ben disposed of, the offence of misrepresentation so far as the gov- ernment returns are. concerned. For that the limit is five years in the Kingston penitentiary. The man who misappropriated large sums-many, thousands of dollars | and lost it, by stack speculation, has (flo answer thew charges when the wit: ; nesses, not iow available, have been scoured. - There has to be an account: ing for the wrongdoing, and it re mating to bo seen with what kect. MoGill's plea is that hs speculated, with the knowledge, if not the con. {ent of the directors, that the bank's position was not 'good, that with the || resources and income at its command it could not pay dividends, and so he ' to dubble in American so- curitfes, on margins, Until that side of the case hus heen heard, the press is silent, and the people only think without offering an opinion. MeGeo's cane is different. There is no excuse for his flagrant abuse of trust, and some of his best friends will have occasion to remember his rascality as long as they live. One ceases to be a fine follow when it is discovered that he has 'been robbing his friends right along, that he borrowed and used their money without any real hope of recouping them. Five years for such a one is not a punishment that fits the crime. Tt will not deter "others from similarly falling. It will not smilp the evil doers that they tramble in their shoes and forever forswear the propensities that, un checked, carry them to ruin. The man who forges a note Yor $100, who steals an overcoat, who does some fopl apt rashly, and as a result of sheer desperation, goes to the same prison asx MeGill and McGee for as long a time. The courts and their of- ficers are not to be accused of undue lenieney, because usually the judg: ments 'given aré the result: of serie ous methitation. But the fact thet great sinners somohow 'escape their proper reward, apparently, occasions criticising 'and contrasts, and they are not partial to these aristocratic male- factors. 1 The Craze For Gambling The sentencing of McGill, formerly the Ontario Bank's general manager, and of MeGre, she. trusted clork of a Montreal building and loan society, to five years cach inthe penitentiary, may have a sobsting eficct. upon some phople.

Mr. Archibold is a good speaker, and his remarks were enjoyed by the stu- dents.

"In describing conditions between penal ccnditions of the present day and those past the speaker dwelt on the i fact that no longer than fifteen years ago only menial labor was provided for the criminals. Now an ignorant convict is often turned from the peni- tentiary with a trade that he need not | go to school; a teacher and the neces- sary books are to be had at every Canadian institution.

The was conducted along federal lines, and it is not surprising that the local gov- ernment won under the circumstances. The people at the coast are usually against the federal government, and they were incited to further hostility by the rejected ' demmnd for "better terms." It is not a happy rallying cry, because it may be heard again when jt is not expected, and it will hurt any party which does not ex- Press its svmpathy. British Columbia may be hard up, but it is not so needy after all. It hus resources, and its government should protect them, and the sooner it commences a reign of economy the better. It does not emerge from the conflief without misgivings.' Two 'of its: ministers were defeated, and an- other went into retirement before the lands department invited a pretty general repudiation, and yet the de- uty of the minister who wold land to a syndicate of friends for $10,000, which it resold for $40,000, was elect ed in Mr, Green's constituency, which would imply that the people did not disapprove of grafting. The socialists have been sacrificed. in power before the election. They are now too weak to give any ome trouble. Some good men were de feated on the liberal side, including Mr. Mclnnes and Mr. Ross. They can bide their time. They will be heard from agein and may wait to better advantage. ! * Editorial Notes.
