Arc Pretty, Becoming And Bewitching. More of daintiness, stylishness, prettiness and low priceness was never embodied in Waists. So many charm- ing styles --s0 many fabrics are represented --s0 much of perplex» ing variét§s-86 much of beauty and value. It would be" diffienlt to choose from them if it were not that your choice will be right no matter what you chooses! Every Waist we show is of perfect style-- that will: be apparent on sight, but the num- ber of styles we are showing is surprising. We scouted the market for Waists -- viewed them al' and selected only the best. Our assem- blage is the cream of the season's Waist styles. And jn our quest for beauty, style and variety we never overlooked the importafit Jiattetdf price. We have attended to that too--yon Will avow that you never saw such Waist values. $1, 1.25, 1.35, 1.50, 1.65,-1.75, 2.00, 2.25 to 6.50. | Ey i So S------ CRUMLEY BROS.

Premier Whitney announced that he hoped to close the session a week MURE, the Famous Basso From Covent Garden, Londen before the. day on which prorogation actualy took place. Then as a re- sult of a request from the gore ment gids | stated that 1 could see 4 no reason why the work of the ses- Liicen, 25e. SOC, 13¢.. $1, $1.50, sion should not be concluded on the Saturday. At that time the question ol this Canadian Northern guarantee and the Lalose matter had not been mooted. It goes without saying that matters of this mnportdnce should be mentioned in the speech from the throne or should be brought down early in the session in order that members of the legislature should have full opportunity of ascertaining the real facts, 1 noticed that I'remier Whitpey, speaking at Hamillon last night, said that the C, N. R. bill was brought down in the daylight. The guarantee bill and other important measures were not brought down until the ovening, The -bills were not distri buted until the Saturday morning, ant the 'Canadian Northern bill re- ceived its third reading beforg /three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, * In reply to a request for informa. tion made by myself, the provincial treasurer made certain explanations which were so extremely Incid as to mislead) all the newspapers as to the amount of the guarantee, It was, however, the premier who made the exceptionally strong statement. He said distinctly that the original 'mort gage taken under the act of 1904 was defective, that it did not cover termi- nals, and that was the reason for giv. ing the additional guarantee so' that better security might be obtained by the provineg. I. find that the Mail and Empire quotes him as saying, 'When this ad- ministration came into power it found that the mortgage was drawn in such! a manner that all the valuable parts] of fhe 'property were omitted. We are now trying to make themselves se- cure." He asserted that these were the facts, anu M they were, 1 think you - will agree that the opposition woulil not be justified in opposing the additional guarantee. If, as the pre mier, stated, the province . was being put dnl a. better . position the opposi- tion 'would cevtaimly not be doing its duty in opposing the measure. The House « relied on the premiey's state ment and the bifl went through. But what does subsequent inquiry reveal? "The James Bay Railway company were workjug under a dominion char- ter, and the mortgage is registered with the secretary of state at Ot- tawa. I find on enquiry that the mortgage was not taken by the libe ral 'government at all. It is stated July 12th, 1906, and the guarantee is dated July 17th, 1906, and it was signed 'on behalf of the province by Hon. &. J. Matheson, provincial trea- surer. 'In addition, I find that the plan of the road from Toronto te Sudbury was filed two years before the taking of the mortgage. It shows the road runnivg right through the city of Toronto, and actually to the Union station, It goes without say- ing that the mortgage, if properly taken, covers the Toronto terminal, and includes buildings, ete., then or afterwards acquired. "The mortgage is drawn with the special exception that it does not cover lines to be built afterwards, nor does it. cover certain property at | Barnsdale, Muskoka, nor does it | cover bonuses in connection with any of those lines. Terminals are not ex. cepted, and it clearly follows that the original mortgage covers all terminal 'acilitids in the city of Toronto, which would, of course, include all buildings then and afterwards erected on lands there. The arguments of the premier and of "The Mail and Empice that the mortgage only covered the middle: of the road is entirely misleading, and not in accordance with fact." Turning to the La Rose grant, Mr, MacKay stated that the provincial treasurer had heen guilty of misrepre- | Ihe te a mi t spea , for politi- cal friendship, given away the La Rose claim to O'Brien, When he entered iuto bis brief term of office, Mr. Mac Kay explained, he found the present deputy minister of mines, the deputy minister of lands, and Dr. Kennedy YoungLi Every young liberal in King- ston is invited to the Whig Hall, Thursday Evening Next AT 8 O'CLOCK, A fall attefance is requested.

Me was elected in 102. While he had at least two, and probakly three sessions to sit out, which he should have been allowed to do unmolested, a convention was called to nominate a candidate for the Dominion house. Ferguson delegates came down in force, and persuaded the county exe cutive to have the convention nomin ate a candidate for the legisiat top. This was done. Afterwards it was admitted to be unfair, and another convention was called in December, 'Because the second convention was unfairlywconducted, and the delegates in some polls dishonestly elected. The convention was manipulated by the same machinery as the first. "Lhe in "terested owes tried « to justify their original actions by t proceedings.
