The extent to which congress is/ be- ing influenced on the reciprocity Gues- tion is so light to be practically invisible. That edmimercial bodies are not to be ignored goes without say- ing. But a good deal depends upon the manner in which' they assert this power. Bodies which take up great public issues, which spend a great deal {of time upon them, which understand 'them thoroughly, are worthy of the | greatest consideration. When petitions and memorials are handed about for 'signatures, when the average man does not know what he is asked to support Lor oppose, when so many are so will- ing to sign anything as an act of obligement, congress or parliament cannot be expected to act. would be to surrender before an assum- bs 'regard to it, and for the very good, Both, in Ottawa, are as modest as two ed manifestation of public opinion. Congress has been bombarded with protests against the reciprocity agree- They are believed to have been based on misunderstanding of the subject, and President Taft advises that the house proceed without refer- ence to them. Public opimion is all right, but the public opinion which is of some account is not the kind which for a purpose from ment. un men manufacture time to time. THE OUTBREAKS AT OTTAWA. It is time that Mr. Borden, at Ot tawa, warned his followers that there is nothing to be gained by wholesale slander. It was a premeditated scheme for which Mr. Boyee was not wholly | responsible that Nr. Fielding should | be attacked because he, some time money gift. The insinuation was that it came from contractors and grafters, | and one conservative print, more au-| dacious than the rest, called it stolen money. Mr: Fielding's defence of his action was manly and courageous, | and he had the consciousness of know- | To do so} joi and Hon. Mr. Foster sought an agreement with regard to farm pro- |ducts, fish. and lumber, and they sought it in vain. Mr. Blain talked 'the matter over with them, half | heartedly or reluctantly, and then de- clined to go further, presumably be- {cause his party, the republican, did 'not approve. The Canadian govern 'ment did not rush eagerly into the | negotiations for a trade agreement. The proposition came from the Uni- ted States and ite earnestness has "been exhibited by the desire to make 'sacrifices to a much greater extent than Canada. There have been vari- {ous opinions with respect to the mat- ter,~and generally in favour of | agricalture--it has heen approved. The conservative caucus has been un: 'able to agree upon any course with reason that many of the conservative members are representatives of rural constituencies in which 'the electors will be affected by their action. The libéral government meanwhile is rest- ing comfortably. Whatever the upshot is it stands to gain in public favour, Its supporters can very well endorse the agreement, and leave to the Uni- ted States the responsibility of glecting it. Whatever the result the farmers Canada, who swing the influence vote in an election, will realize that the government acted in their half and is entitled to their support. ne- of ani be- EDITORIAL NOTES. Col. Matheson fears that reciprocity will hurt the railways of Canada. Sir Tonio, and ago, accepted from personal friends a Donald Mann says it will not. Which is the better authority ? The revenue of Canada has in- creased ten million dollars in the past ten months, The amount that will be whittled off by the reciprocity deal will not be missed. reciprocity treaty is a trouble Of general which any is tender consciences. What about the members of the opposition? What about Mr. Foster himseli ? His ocom- science may have been tender; but it was a long time ago. "Clear Grit," writing to the St. Thomas Journal, and referring to the annual meeting of the liberal party, says something is wanting in order to stir things up. He suggests the use of a little dynamite. It might kill some one, or hasten his demise prematurely, and that may be the aim of the wri- ter. Mr. T. M. Daly, Winnipeg's police magistrate, while on a visit to Ot tawa, declared that the city from which he hailed had been greatly maligned. "Winnipeg's morals," said he, "have been always the very best," That is, the morals of some of the people.

Our trade with them has been in creasing "by leaps and bounds' the last dozem years, and the growth of Canadian sentiment has been in- creasing at tne same time. The deputation of the city council visiting Ottawa this week returns full of praise of the admirable manner ih which Hon. Mr. Harty looked after all the details in connection with the in terviews with the cabinet ministers | and in other ways showed loyalty and interest in the visitors. The official re- port elsewhere shows what was ac pro- not in » x an ing that he had the approval of par, When a house is divided against it- [complished and if the deputation fail liament, and by the largest vote that has been given on any party subject.

Practi- cally and essentually he endorsed the slander of H. Lénnox,\W.P., who said that P. H. Larkin, of Toronto, was a beneficiary of the government and a subscriber to the Fielding fund. He practically endorsed Col. Hughes who a @ slandered Dr. Macdonald in a shame-| ful and indefensible manner. The lead- er of the party must see that he is compromised by: these outbreaks, and should put an end to them. HOW THE PENSIONS GROW. The Berger-Bill provides for the pay- ment out of the United States treas- ury of $12 a month to every person over sixty years of age, whose wages have not been more than $3 per day snd who has heen a citizen of the United States for fifteen years. Mr, "Berger figures that about a million persons would at the present time be (entitled to such pensions, so it casa be figured at once that the old age pension expenditure which he pro- the United States gov- ernment should provide for would 'amount to some $144,000,000 annoal le. Added to the huge total of the war persion expenditure this would a grand aggregate of close upon $300,000,000 a year for pensions in the United States, There is some sense and justification in the old. age pension proposal, but thers is none the addition of $45,000,000 annual- ly to thy war pension list.

Is this the preliminary canter of a prohibition campaign ? Jane Addams, of Hill House, Chi- cago, is opposed to the women's franchise. It will be time emough, in her opinion, to give the women: votes when they know what to do. with them. The political 'education of the women has been shamefully neglected. J. W. Johnson, M.P.P.; is persuaded that living is made expensive by the overcapitalization in which so many great corporations . indulge. So he proposes to make it illegal, and has a bill for this purpose belore the legisla- ture. Speaker Cannon is not 'in favour of the reciprocity agreement. It is not a | wood bargain for the United States. { He represents the stand-patters who have, put the republican party in a [box and would, apparently, accom- plish its ruin. Taft is not taking any advice from him. Because the local deputation on harbour and bridge improvements did "not have Dr. Edwards as a leader o grievance has been expressed. The de- putation was introdueed to the mem- bers of the government by Hon. Nr. Harty, and he appears to have been quite equal to the gontract. de. For the land's sake! Mr. Foster is very anxious that the members of the federal government should have very ed to find Sir F, Borden it was due to the same cause that delayed Mayor Graham and Ald.

It is in the schools that a little military spirit should 'be taught, and it will "be hel along by teaching patriotism and flying the Union Jack on every school house. The Lampman thinks the town educational board is very slow about deciding upon the cadet corps question. He would have a ca- det or boy scout corps, not only in the Collegiate Institute, but in every school of the town, even if -the pre sent over-loaded curriculum had to be out in two. Detter boys would be turned out of the schools if they had a couple of years' training in a boy scout corps. He is guite sure that the vouth of Kingston would gladly spend half of Saturday manoeuvring. Surely it would be no compliment to his worship, Mayor Graham, to have called Wade's Lane after him when the name of that alleyway. was changed, the Lampman says. Town Councillor Ross thought it would be fitting A name. that by-way after him. Lampman says no. Wade's Lans, now called Elgin street, should have retained its old name. It is not a street, for it has not the recognised width of a street, or hali of it. To have called it. Graham street would | have been awful. All right to call it after Lord Elgin, but to name it af ter "Christy" Graham--never !

But he would not vote so just because the county council freed the Frontenac roads of tolls. These roads were not freed for Kingston's bene fit, he says. They were freed because the county people became disgusted with the svstem of taxing themselves | for the benefit of a company. They found that it was cheaper to buy up the toll roads, free them and keep them in repair out of township taxes. The difference between county road tolls and town market tolls that both rural and town people paid the former, while only the ruralists = are required to pay the latter. However, the adjoining townships have not » very great grievance, when it is re membered that Kingston has just paid $6,500 for "moral support" to a rail way subway which is wholly in Fron tenac, ¢ Te Judping by the trouble western On. tario towns are having with Hydro- Electric power the Lampman thinks that the best thing Kingston ean do | is lo retain its steam plant.
