My objection to the first clause of the petition was reasoned away on the ground that school board matters {had been so very recently and so fully jdiscussed, in the public print, and that it had been clearly shown that (serious and persistent dissension exists amongst the members of the school board, a clear case of "the house divided against itself," and, therefore, a change of some kind might work an improvement. As to shouldering the 'present board of education with the whole cause for the results in the last 'examinations, under improved condi- jtions, and also, the raising of the | taxation, I think such charges are un- 'reasonable. | Iurther, it was farthest from my mind when signing the petition, to offer even the shadow of an insult to the members of the school board, as I have always considered their work |*'a labor of love," but I thought the petition aimed at improvement in general conditions, and also to wipe out the present dissension, which must interfere, and many people believe has already interfered, with the influence and the work of our school board. Juniors read public print, and know a thing or two. As to whether a reduc- ed number of representatives would prove a benefit a matter requiring more consideration.

Better Feeling Prevails--The Risk of Plunging, anadian Courier. Optimism prevails at Cobalt and is reflected on the mining-stock exchanges. Part of this is due to a desire to boom stock prices and bring in new inves- tors, but the larger portion is due to the vanishing of a suspicion. For a s believed by many peo- ver veins did not go were merely sedimentary -r four years of driving and tunnels it has been it the suspicion was not Sonie shafts are down nearly four hundred feet through conglomerate, 'keewatin and diabase, and silver has been found in all for- mations. The enthusiastic now believe that there is no limit to the depth. Of course, the deeper mining is more ex- pensive and the net returns less, The growth of this camp is shown by the shipments. In 1904, 158 tons, valued at $130,000, were sent out. In 1903, this was multiplied by ten. In 1906, these was a further multiplica- tion by three, and in 1907 an increase brought the total up to six million dol- lars. , Already this year the shipments are of 'greater value than last year, that there some reason for the enthusiasm. Investors, however, must exercise great prudence. The gambler on the stock market may or may not make a profit. The careful capitalist who in- vestigates the affairs of a company and finds out the exact situation before buying, will probably find a profit. The small investor, who cannot go so deep- ly into a company's affairs before pur- chasing, is taking considerable risk if he risks a plunge. Some of the good mines are over-capitalized and some of the so-called mines are as yet only prospects. Where Both Are Right. Canadian Courier. Liberal newspapers are telling the people how many undesirable tory can- didates there are; and the conservative papers are telling how many dangerous grit candidates there are. Both sets of newspapers are right, in a limited sense, There are a few men in both parties who should retire from public' life for the country's good. Perhaps the public would best serve its own in- terests by electing these men to stay at home as private citizens. If every candidate whose usefulness has been impaired by conduct more or less open to criticism, was defeated at the polls, a few unjust decisions might be made, but at least half a dozen of prominent figures would not be seen in next year's House of Commons. Such a vote would do more to make our public men careful than all the friendly ad- vice adverse criticism that can be served up through the public press In this connection, the following re marks from an editorial in the Mon- treal* Star are worth serious considera- tion : "The cure--now that the parties will not apply it the electors. They must purge parlia- ment, They must defeat the men who have shown themselves unworthy of trust.. They need not fear for their precious parties; for this policy, if fol- lowed everywhere, will hit both par- ties about alike. Better a parliament of novices than a parliament of men who have been tried--and found wanting. The elector who votes for a man whom he knows to seek election for his private profit, deserves to be robbed as he surely will." : i long time it wi ple that the tar down but deposits Af shafts, drift ascertained' a just one SO is or it is plain that --lies with A Striking Contrast.
