The fact that Westmount has had a special énquiry into the condition of its sinking funds, and that as a re- sult there is to be an independent commission to care for and protect it, suggests that there has been some- thing amiss. In Ontario the issue of Jong term debentures is now some- what infrequent, and for the reason that the average municipality does not want any more the custody of the sinking fund. In this province there has been a forgetfulness on the part of the coun- cil to replace sinking funds which have been withdrawn under stress circumstances.

The sub- stance of the article was that 'the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." Hence women should be sat- isfied with the upbringing of sons who will one day stand forth as the men of the nation. But instead of rocking the cradle, thousands upon thousands of women to-day are otcupied outside the home, while their children are go- ing to the devil. This neglect of chil dren i§ evident in Kingston, the Lamp- man says, and the town is feeling it. llowever, the women's sufirage move- ment is not strong in this country, he says, and he hopes that the women of Canada will remain in the position laid out for them. In the Bible g he reads, it is clearly stated in I Timothy ii, "I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." He's afraid the latter part of the injunction has never been kept. a - The 'Lampman startled me when he | told me of the rumor that Walsh, the Welland canal dynamiteér, was not dead at all, but that he had been al- lowed to grow whiskers and mous- | tache, and had walked through the prison gate to liberty long ago, a la "uillY Miner, of" New Westminster, | B.C.

Jahn, he says, is a great schemer, and filled Dr. Edwards up to the neck with the cheap bridge scheme. He made the missiles and the doctor fired them, and the latter had to' bear the rebound. The Lampman thinks that the member for Frontenac wanted to gain some glory in this railway crossing business, and pressed for the cheap way of doing it. When this way me ui ular, he jumped the fenie to the other side, but not as quickly as the other John did. "They tell me," said the Lamp- man, "that if my friend, Carson, had been at the meeting at Glenburnie, there'd have been a free-for-all, for he wouldn't have taken any chin from the Cataraqui pillman any more than he would take it from his Victoria ward adversary, 'Christy.'

The town coun- cil; 1 think, would be quite justified in doubling the license and making it $100, in view of the fact that the lit- tle town of Picton has done the same. I don't think it would hurt the picture men to pay a dollar a week more for the privilege they enjoy.
