Mr. Bourassa docs sce any merit in the subsidy question. The increased grant to Qucbee means, he says, a bigger dip, in his opinion, in- to the pockets of the people. He is right in a sense. The more money the Cham- H E nod provincial governments .spend--that is the money paid over in the form of subsidics--the less the federal govern- ment has, and it comes from the same source. It is the result of taxation, and without the larger weight of hard coin from tho central treasury where would have been the surplus of Que beo last year ? The when one remembers question becomes interesting that the dies gave Manitoba and Ontario subsi- and British Columbia their surpluses, and that the conservative governments of all these provinces of the greater contribution. had no compunc- tion conscience against receiving the attorney-general, and mimster of pub- lis works, in perhaps the most waste ful and corrupt of the treasury Indeed government day, are now haunting the department of Ottawa and with sec- ret designs upon ite funde.

THE TEMPERANCE VOTE. No, Mr. Spectator, the Whig does not know that the vote panned out well for the Whitney gov- ernment in the last eleetion. It is pre- temperance sumed that those who voted against the liberals 1904, were loath to admit that they made a mistake on the temperance question, and they probably repeated their mistake in 1908. They were hopeful that the op- tion the fifths in law of olause, and extent dropping the three they were fooled as ain .

Did he mean by triumphed One suppose so, and yet Mr, Whitney knows that he had the sup- despite would port of most of the temperance men, and the Spectator gives emphasis to the fact. Hence the conclusion of the Whig-- that the temperance men can only be reforms take impressive when their shape at the polls. The opposition is forcing the local on three-fifths petitions sent in upon the subject, government to express an opinion the thousand local and option clause.

Ottawa Journal. For years the Dominion govern- ments scrapped constantly with that splendid public servant, the late Jolin Lorne MacDougall, and the present dominion government at the end har- assed him until he resigned. But at the worst no dominfon government ventured to propose what seems to us to "be contemplated 'by the present measure of «the Whitney government, namely {0 muzzle the auditor alto- gether. "The, province has an active, conscientious and we think competent auditor in Mr." Clancy, a former pro- minent conservative member of parlia- ment and of the legislature. He can ot. be suspected of any desire 'to un- necessarily embarrass a conservative administration. There does not seem, therefore, any plausible immediate exs planation why the Ontario government should 'desire to. curtail the auditor's independence. But the personality of the auditor is 'not the important thing in any case. If an auditor were unsatisfactory the the remedy would be, remgval, not an .emasculation of the office. An honest government should desire to give a public auditor the utmost latitude, even license, ra- ther than the reverse.
