Foot Queen St. News, the lad in question was tempt- ed away from his home and into vice by ap ex-conviet. Now is the time to save him if ther€Cis any hope at all; and any one who has heard Mr. Archibald, the parole officer, give his experience must be impressed with the wisdom of trying to change the char- acter of the average offender by some thing else than close imprisonment. The judge of the Denver juvenile court has alse shown, by his treat ment of boys who go astray, how possible it is to bring about changes J by mild and persuasive methods. Were he dealing with this fifteen-year-old he would not have committed him tc the penitentiary for two and a half years, would not wr suffered him to lie in the county jail at Guelph for three months, and for another three months in the Central 'pricon, to be then removed with other convicts shackled, to the Kingston institution, He would have done something to get the lad away from the criminals and from association with them. . As it is if the boy is not forever corrupted, spoiled, forever abandoned to crime, with the feeling that the-world and what we call jus tice is against him, it will be surpris- ing. forever CHANGES IN THE STAFF. The Collegiate Institute staff will undergo another change, and as a result of the promotion of a member. The English master, and one of the most fascinating teachers of his sub- ject, goes to a. nprmal school, and he will find in it larger scope for the exercise of his splendid talents.

Mr. Sifton, by telegraph, called a member of the house a fabricator--to put -it mildly--and the message went into Hansard. The speaker refused to have it expunged. A man can, there- fore, say by telegraph what he would not be allowed to say in the house. Mr. Foster wound up the session by a personal attack on the minister of militia. He has _ aimed at being on "the firing line," though some of his party papers have insisted that he is wounded, in reputation, and should be parried to the rear. It has now been discovered that the prayer made by Chaplain Reisner, of Denver, at the opening of the demperatic convention, was really a poem, and the finest literary venture of its kind.

Mr. Kennedy, New Westminster, at the close of the commons, said he had gone carefully through the pages of Hansard from the beginning of the session, and he found that liberal members had filled 4,004 columns. and the opppsition 4,646 columns.

A -- MONEY SPENT IN CANADA. Cost of the National Transcon- tinental Railroad. Guelph Mercury. An important feature not to be dis- regarded, in connection with the Na- tional Transcontinental railroad being constructed by the Canadian govern- ment, is that whatever the road costs a large proportion of the money will be Spent in actual labor and supplies. The amount paid in wages is all mon- ey expended in Canada, and while these items will account in a large' measure for the total cost, the rolling stock, $20,000,000 or so, will go far towards = accounting for the balance. The whole of this immense sum Will be divided among Canadians resident here and making their living in the country. The money will pass from to the pockets of the people in anoth! er form. In other words, whether the railway costs $13,000,000 er $100, 000,000, the money is Kept in circula- tion in. the country, and only a smak proportion of it passes out of Can- ada. The people participate in th expenditure of a large amount of ad- ditional money which is brought' into the country for the express purpose of building the railway. and upon this money the actual cOst to the people will only be the comparatively: smal' amount of interest, while thev will®hc in the enjovment of the principal. Mr. Borden, leader of the opposi- tion, presents a mass of figures in his efforts to show that the railroad will cost $250,000,000 before it is com- jleted. . His figures are absurd, but even if they were true an expendi- ture for such a purpose could be gbundantly justified. The increased value to government land. from the building of this railroad will offset the entire amount. Placing updn one side the paramount duty of the gov- ernment to expend the money of the people in the interest of thd people, even if some additional debt "were in- curred, yet the conditions created by the presence of another transconti- nental railroad will add so much to the wealth of the country as a whole that the price paid for such prosperity may be regarded as money well spent. No man presumes {to think that the National Transconti- nental will cost anything like the amount named by Mr. Borden, yet, even at that price, with such a rail way as the government is building, it would be money wel spent in com- parison with Mr. Borden's idea of buying up old railroads with difficult grades, and the acquisition of which would neither relieve the congested conglitions wi transportation, nor open up any new territory. Sir Wilfrid Laurier submitted his enterprise to the good :sense of 'he Canadian people. He said he would stand or fall by their verdict, and the verdict was go ahead and build the road, the country requires it and demands it, and the question of cost is not so important as the question of building the road. CANADA'S PRIME MINISTER. Charming Personality--Tribute to Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Current: Literature, London, Bays Brilliant and conspicuous as are all the personalities associated with this month's celebration of the three hun- dredth anniversary of the foundin. of Quebec, it is Sir Wilfrid Laurier, prime minister of the dominion, who, by a tacit recognition remains incon- testably the most brilliant and the most conspicuous of them all. To Sir Wilfrid, more than to any other man, is ascribed the prodigious. sue- cess which has attended every arrange ment from the appropriation of the necessary funds to the enlistment of the Prince of Wales, who, as all now know, will honor the occasion with his presence. To a combination of the skill of the greatest diplomatists with confiding simplicity of manner must we ascribe, say his admirers, 'the hold Sir Wilfrid has secured upon the affections of his countrymen.
