So the opponents of the imperial budget, a new departure in many re aspects, have abandoned dignified dis cussion and are content to call the members - of © the government bad names ? It is a sign of weakness and nothing is to be accomplished by it. The chanecdlor of the exchequer is ro- forred 10 "as a wormout agitator," while he is in hig prim¢ and next to the premier the brightest and most alort mombor of the government.

A little while ago, Brockville was referred to as a municipality in which the ownership of public utilities was conspicuously The more surprise, therefore, follows when the Times, predicts that the situation is very critical.

Under Prussian law membership jm "sick clubs" is com- pulsory to all workingmen who carn less than $500: a year. In addition there axe voluntary "sick clubs' and in consoquepce of the growth of these organizations many of the doctors find their foes disappearing, giving place to small yearly salaries. The workingman pays about $1.25 a yar or about $4 for his:family, no matter how many calls the physician may make. The work is done by contract. It is against the contract svstem that the doctors' union is rebelling.

"Phe joordinaie trivialities of modern femininity do noi point to desire for meatal development," he said, "and in losing their reverence for older ro spousibilitics in an attempt to ove:- step their limitations these women have been thrown upon a sea of vapidity and discontent.
