The premier will hereafter enjoy $10,000 & year, and hin colleagues $6,000 each, in addition to the wessonal allowance. The in. The government assumed the respon- bility for the act. Mr. Whitney says he knows there was not a mandate for the change, but it was decided upon because it was right, and the party in power can do anything. I was proposed that the leader of the opposition should receive a sal- ary, and the government left the sug- eral 9, and Mr. Graham made action unnrebesary by at omee taking excoption. There would not be a sal ary #o far a8 ho was eonderned. The leader of the libetals would not be in any different position from the rest of the party. In this he expresses, we presume, the mind of all his associates, It would have been well had the leader of the opposition in Ottawa been similarly disposed. The accept: | anos of a salary of $7,000 a year by him has never been approved, even by his. own party; on the contrary, it has beet charged that he is not free to act as his position suggests, and that on the salary grab question bis attitude was indefensible, This is a day of advancing salaries, and a higher remuneration to the men who serve the people in public offices is among the expected things. At the same thee it may be said that the government could have afforded to put in another session, with the un derstanding that after the elections the administrators of the people's busi. ness would receive the higher rewards. Then there would have been a man: date for the change.

It is pleasant to hote the number of Canadian firms who are now proud to own up to the fact that they are Canadian and to brand "their uct clearly as being made in Canada. The latest addition to the list of natable manufacturers who are adopting this jeourse is the Dominion Cartridge Co., of Sorenls who are beginning an ex- tensive advertising campa to ac quaint and users of am- munition generally with the merits of their cartridges and ammunition. The fact that this firm through its cor respondents in Great Britain, is af- forded the use of the trade secrets of the largest manufacturers of smoke- Jess powders in the world, does not et ole last that it is a t , Canadi organization, and Canadians can well feel proud of ite sucess. .

The action of the Saskatchewan le gi<lature in seating Samuel J. Don- aldson as member for the Prince Al- bert district gives honor and dignity to that assembly, It will be remem- bered that Mr. Donaldson was robbed of his right to sit in the legislature by bold and systematic ballot manipula tion. For these scoundrelly actions, by the way, no one has been adequ- ately puniched, and the courts reveal ed a singular inability to remedy the gross injustice to which Mr. Domald- son was subjected. Now, however, the legislature has intervened, and has de- clared Mr. Donaldson's right to sit for the constituency for which he was elected. Jt is not necessary to in- quire too closely into the motives which actuated the legislature nor to consider how certain was Mr. Donald son's re-election for Prince Albert. It is enough to recognize that that body has performed a fine and honorable ae- tion which stands in remarkable con- trast to the precedents which other Canadian legislative bodies have set in similar cirgumstances for at least a generation. Plucky Girl's Success. If you think that life holds for you problems entirely too hard to solve, or that you are confronted by ob- stacles 'you can not surmount, read this little story, of plain fact, about a young girl. Her name is Susie Dav- is, Virginia City, Nev. She is under twenty years of age: but for some time has been employed at the Vir ginia city telephone exch . She applied for a position dnd met dis- couragement. She was told that it it was' altogether too difficult, and was "uséless to try to do the work as there were too many obstacles: to er, and was allowed to try. She sur- prised those who had: tried to dis- suade her, and soon became an ex- pert~ At a recent competition in Vir ginia City she showed herself to be the best operator in the exchange, and easily surpassed all competitors. What of that, did you ask ? Only this: Susie Davis is blind and has been blind all her life. She has never seen a ray of light. Think of what she has done in spite of thiz in a calling where al most everything is supposed to de pend on the sight. Now don't sit down and say "I can't." Go right ahead and do whatever there is to be done. Obstacles are made to be sur- mounted. Hard On The New Wife. "The sexton of a quaint old English church," said the traveller, "showed me thrbugh the building one afternoon and as we were departing, pointed to the Bible on the lectern and smiled. "'A queer thing happened last Sun. day in connection with that Bible," he said. 'We had a strange minister preaching here,' and when he opened the book he came upon a notice and read it out with all due solemnity. It was a request for the congregation's sympathy and prayers for John Q. Griggs, who had. been deeply afflicted by the loss of his wife,' "You see, sir," he said, 'our regular minister hatl been using that paper ae a book-marker more than a year, and John Q. Griggs, in a natty grey suit, sat in a front pew with the new wife he had taken just a week before.' N Christy's Hats.
