Daily Wig, BULLDOZING THE PEOPLE. Hon. Mr. Dufi, who is the commis sioner of agriculture in the Ontario government, has undertaken to bull doze the farmers of the province. * He realizes that the reciprocity agreement is a good thing for the people he is supposed tg represent, and, from pure- ly partizan motives, he has undertaken to degoimece it. It has been charged in the legislature that he has been misusing his position to put a check on the free discussion of the sub t. Duff and Mr. Matheson attended the Eastern Ontario Dairymen's Asso- ciation and it is alleged that pri vately the first named gentleman in- timated that it was not expedient to introduce politics, and hence it was inot prudent to discuss reciprocity. At 'a meeting of the Western Dairymen's Association there was a similar ex- perience; and.'then, as an evidence of how inconsistent the mah could be, he attacked the reciproeity agreement at no meeting of farmers in Haldimand county, and he "stormed against it when addressing" the students of the ' Agricultural College in Guelph. Now the trade measure is likely to be candidly treated before it is finally disposed of by the parliament of Ca- nada, but it will require some one who is weightier in influence and more richly endowed with wisdom than Mr. Dufi to damn it in the eyes of the farmers of this province. The first commissioner of agriculture in the Whitney government, Mr. Monteith, was a man of judgment and sound sense, but there could be nothing lighter in legislative timber than his' successor, He has been called severe- ly "to account for his shortcomings, his lack of initiative, his unfamiliarity with economic conditions, and there has been no arrangement so hurtful as that of Mr. Flavell, of Toronto, whe is a leading conservative. | Has Mr. Duff been sent out by his | colleagues to prejudice the farmers of Ontario against reciprocity ? It would seem so and they have put in the field the greatest blatherskite of his day. Prok. Morison, before the Young Men's Club, of Queen Street Methodist , last evening, presented his idea of the nationalism that has merit it, and the nationalism that is bound to find favour with every true Canadian. He traced the origin of na- tions and the growth and development of the sentiment that makes for the well-being of the people as a whole. In Britain, as in no other land, the con- ditiphs were favourable to the pro- Fross, the happiness and contentmnent thought was that of home rule, or self-government, in the highest and best sense. : There were three types of national ism which the professor discussed in a | candid and lucid way---the nationalism lof Ireland, of Quebec and of Canada. Ireland's aspirations were described in {a kindly way. There were features in ithe past which tended to, friction. | There were mistakes of England to wards Ireland which were now evi: denced by generous treatment, and the day would come when the unity between Ireland and England would f 1 i fr not beew sketched ordimarily, and car rying with 'it an education and an in- spiration of the highest quality. Upon his' service to the state the pr is to be surely congratulated. A PRETTY BAD SHOWING. Some members of the legislature ad- vised Mr. McEwing to break it to them pently when he said the ac- counts of the province showed a de- ficit of nearly $2,000,000 in place of a surplus--the exceedingly small surplus of $4,000, while the revenue of the year, from all sources, including what Mr, Matheson formerly called capital, amounted to $9,000,000. Prodigal ? Well, yes. The time was, not so long ago, but before 'the present govern- ment took office, when five and a half millions were the revenue, and the sur- plus was very much larger than that which 'Mr. Matheson reports. 'Oh, but," some one observes, "think of or remember the extraordinary ex- penditure that has been made in con- nection with the Hydro-Electric Com- mission and the Temiskaming and Northern - Ontario railway." That has been duly accounted for, and, by the way, it is not included in the ordinary {outlay of the year, which provokes an independent critic, the Weekly Sun, to remark. : - 'Not, only is an advance of over $2,- 000,000 tx the Hydro-Electric, and 8785,000 © the Temiskaming and Northern Omi: cigs Railway Commission omitted from "a statement on which the year's bulanee is struck, but $150, 316 expended on the good roads scheme, 890,670 on account of new gov- ernment. house,. 328,000 for addition [t6 Osgoode Hall, and other like items are eliminated as well. Just why an expenditure of $150,000 in building roads in older Ontario is treated asa capital charge, while an item of $452, 000 for the building of colonization ronds in New Ontario is treated -as current expenditure is not dear Neither is it clear why the cost of re pairing as well as maintaining certain public buildings, amounting to $113, 000, is entered as part of the ordinary outlay §6r the year while a $28,000 outlay in adding to Osgoode Hall is not. But so it is and by this system of bmission Mr. Matheson is able to show a nominal and very small sur phis when as a matter of fact there was borrowed during the year nearly one and one-half million dollars and the balance in bank, mainly made of the proceeds of previous loans, was re duced by almost the even two mil lions." : This is really an alarming exhibit, and the members of the legislature are inclined to.regard it so complacently-- with all the talk of increased expendi- ture and the salary grab--that' Mr. McEwing said they were "nearly as careless about how the business of the province is carried on as some of the directors of the Farmers' bank." . . EDITORIAL NOTES. Saskatchewan charters a grain grow- ers" elevator company. because .govern- ment ownership in Manitoba has been a failure. Here is an experience worth noting. "Let well enough alone," is the slo- gan of the Canadian millers. By the way, do they net represent a trust which regulates the cost of flour and keeps up the prices no matter how cheap wheat may be ? Peterboro's school trustees complain of the unfitness of the children for study because they are out so late at night in the picture shows. Some re- salts evidenced everywhere the shows ivgn. The cure--high license and high admission fees. Canada is not disposed to bonus any manufactures of iron, sheet steel, or anything else by bounties. That is the jist of the finance minister's re ply to the Morrisburg application, and it will evoke applause from ihe farmers all over Canada. Mayor Hugo (Watertown, a former Kingstonian), had a glorious time in Washington as the opponent of the paper features of the reciprocity agree ment. The senate committee charged that the trust, not the tariff, regula- ted the prices of paper, and for once it is right!

McEwing Talks Straight on The question of exemption of church - property from taxation may come up. before the Ontario legislature of the ince at the present C. R. MecEwing, member for Dufferin, has in contemplation a measure with may raise some little discussion. Cer- tain it is that if he brings it' in there will be much to be said on both sides by the members, 2 { Mr. McEwing himself would favor doing away with: all tax™ exemptions; but Ee does not intend to go so far just now. AN he has in mind at present is the abolition of exemptions on the land covered by dnd imme- diately surrounding church buildings. He would not tax graveyards. But where a church occupies a large piece of ground, and has lawns surrounding it, perhaps filling a complete city square, he sees no justice in allowing it to escape paying the share of the contributions to civic government. Property held, by churches or re- igi societies anywhere, ought, he thinks, to bear itsashare of taxation, He referred to Montreal, where near- ly half the city is non-contributing, so much being' held by the Grey Nuns or other® ious organizations, if not actually used by Them or by the churches. "I do not see any reason," said Mr. McEwing, "why churches should be exempt any move than Orange lodges or ellows or Masonic lodges. Orange lodges are, in one sense, de- nominationsal, that is, they are Pro- testant as against Roman Catholics; al : are denominational. Then the ftiiternal organizations are benevolent in their ork: Whe should 'Mr. McEwing instanced the cases James' cathedral the Metropolitan church, St. Mich- ael's cathedral, Bond street Congre- gational church, the Holy Blossom Synagogue, St. James' Square Pres byterian, Jarvis street Baptist and St. Andrew's Presbyterian church, one after another in the central part of the city, between Yonge and Jarvis, King and Carlton streets, ownin property worth many thousand of dol. lars. "Why," he asked, 'should they not pay taxes? It would not] come heavier on the people in the énd, it would only be a different adjustment, as the taxes would be paid: by the people in the church organization, and not by the people at large as they are now," « Speaking of the present exemption tof educational institutions, Mr. Mc- Ewing said his own idea would be to do away with all exemptions, but he does not think of such a sweeping change in his bill, Stories About Animals.

Not long ago a visitor exploring the London sewers was told by his guide as they walked upder Long Acre and Scho that the sewers in this neighborhood are al- most entirely free from rats. This im- munity has been noticed only since the development of the motor car in- dustry and the establishment of its adiuarters in Shaftesbury avenue and Long Acre. A large quantity of gasoline thus finds its way down the drains, and this, in the opinion of the sewer man, effectually keeps the rats away.

The British and Foreign' Bible so- ciety is concerting plans to commem- orate the tercentemary of the publica- About tion in 1611 of the authorized version |. of the English bible. To an Evening News representative the secretary, the Rev. J. H. Ritson, supplied to-day a mass of interesting facts and figures eloquent of the so- ciety's work in carrying the scriptures to the uttermost corners of the earth. "Up to last March," he- said, "we had circulated 222,174,881 bibles or parts thereof in 424 different and dis- tinct languages. Last year established a record by the publication of 6,620, 000 volumes and parts. "Every working day we are sending out. 205000. volumes. Actually the gos- pel has been published up to date in no fewer than 530 different forms of human speech. The cost of carrying on this work is £250,000 a year." Six new Inguages, it further ap- , have heen added during the past few months, all reduced to writ- ten form expressly for the purpose of disseminating - a know! of the gospel among little known and strange tribes. Ongom is oné of these languages, gpoken by a Bantu tribe inhabiting the basin ob 'the Gabun river in French Congo. Another of the new languages Namau, which is. current in a part-ol British New Guinea and is _enmploy- ed by 40,000 cannibals. Cannibalistic also are the habits of the Houailon and Pdnerihouen tribes of New Caledonia, for whose enlight- enment certain of the gospels have been recently translated. Fiu, in which St. Matthew's gospel is also now being printed, is a dialect obtainable in Mwala, one of the Sol- omon Islands, while St. Luke is being issued in Raga, the language of the natives of Pentecost Island in the South Pacific. "We are now publishing the scrip- tures," Mr. Ritson pursued, "in the native tongues of seven-tenths of the human race, "But there yet remains much work before us. How many languages are actually spoken' in the world it is impossible to say with definiteness,. I at two thousand. This leaves us substan- tial scope for further endeavor. "In fact, we calculate that there are 450,000,000 people to whom the book, because it has not yet been published in the language they under- stand. "For.
