It is 16 pages Monday and a year. To time the naval debate was It is degenerating. Dr. Chis- {holm's proposal is ihe latest, and the least acceptable. The doctor is not in favor of the government's proposal, {and because England may be atiack- fod before Canada's navy is ready for ' service. His idea is that Canada {should pay the imperial government 181,500,000 a year for four years, that this sum would be the rental of four Dreadnoughts, placed at the disposal {of Canada and for keeping the trade {route open; that in addition: this coun- I! try should experiment in aerial navi- {gation in its own account. When one reads of criticism like this he con- «cludes that public opinion is not be- coming samer or sounder, and that the sooner the discussion is end- ed. the better.

The item of most significance at the meeting of the Ontario Alliance was the charge that the administration of the licensa law was subject to political interference, The revelations in To- ronto, dwing the regime of the Fla- velle commission--revelations which showed a shameful trafficking in pub- lic favours--suggested a remedy which {has often been talked about but never irealized. Mr. Starr, a conservative, | after summing up the evidence he had taken, recommended that the licensing fof the liquor trade be dome by a cen + {tral and provindal commission, and one superior to all local influences. The Starr report has not been acted { upon. The government that was go- ing to eliminate politics from the li- cense department began its reign by | atspensinig with the old license boards land gettilg in their place baayds which did not give the liberals ré¢pre- sentation anywhere. It ted \the resignation of the Torontd hoard when this resignatian was tendered as & protest against an irregular admin- istration by the department. 1t fol lowed this up with allowing the k- cense commissioners to be woerced by the local members, The statement of Mr, Hogg, ex-li- cense commissioner for Vietoria ty, before the Ontario Alliance, was, certainly a surprise. In Victoria the had been flagrant violations of law, and the commission was to understand that the politician, sires or requests should be Gheyed.

ALLIANCE AND THE PRESS. | The Ontario branch of the Dominion Alliance has had its meeting in To-: ronto and one is at a loss to under- stand what has been accomplished by | it. The central thought at the ginning of the convention was the party might impress the premier with the necessity for amending the li-| cense law by abolishing or improving | the three-fifths clause. A deputation] waited on Sir James Whitney and he | abbreviated the story which a num- ber of persons undertook to convey | to him, and concluded with a curt refusal to accede to thar request. The rebufi was quietly accepted, at least there is po evidence that any harm was done, or that threats were! made publicly of damage later on. On the comtrary the Alliance appears to have bottled its wrath against' the government, and, because it had no- thing else to do, directed its atten- 10. the newspapers. These--or some of them, and very few it may he added--have given offence by printing * advertisements 'from the liquor dealers, which advertisements, appearing in the family journals, are "calculated to deceive and debauch the young peo- ple,' and the idea is to secure a law which will prevent the papers giving the use of their columns the trade. One wonders what new fad will pos- | sess these men and what form of | expression it will take. The liquor trade is licensed by the people, the government and the municipal council make large revenues from it. | The souls of our public men do not seem to be seriously hairowed by the! stories which they hear. The men who make monsy from the liquor trade by licensing it will hardly have the nerve | to forbid the newspapers from adver-| tising it, or pass a law making advertising & punishable offence. of fet the liquor trade he- | i how! tion from to and this | As is It does not need: the. publicity of the press, and the press could do without the, financial aid it #s supposed to re cejve.

The :hondeedth and Gfth anni versary of the formation of St. An drew's church was fittingly cdlebrated on Sunday. In the evening Rev.

In speaking of values and what we have our life, is ourselves, and we pay oui ' E of Our nerve to gain something. Now how are we to judge the volue or the stan- dard of what we give and receive. {A man might pay out a life to earn a million, then would die, and leave the million; he would theninot be worth as much as the day laborer, who had life. 'We are only ténants here," said the preacher, "and the lease. may be terminated at any time, {them what have we in life 7" . Prof. Welch spoke of how everything was now being taken at a money value. He told of a large meeting held in Montreal some days ago for the fighting of the white plague, and "of the fine speech made by ong of the doctors, who held his os with him as he led them through various stages of the dread disease, telling how many lives were snuffed out, it could be remedied, ended up bh saying every life was worth $4,000, "That was like a slap in the face me," said Prof. Welch. "If he been pleading before a court of for a husband or brother that had been killed in a railway accident, it would have been different, but in this | great cause it was simply for human ity's sake that the people were inter- ested not for the few thousands it saved the city."
