On the* resumption of the debate .{ on the address in reply to the speech from the throne, Hon. Mr. MacKay, masterly review of lems. follows: "Mr. Speaker,--It is fitting that the opening sentences of the speech the Lieutenant-Governor, which wa placed in his hands by his constitu- tional advisers, shoal contain a re- ference to the demise of King Edwasd VIL and to the far-reaching influence for good which he exerted throughout his whole reign. knows, no British subject will: ever know, bow great was the influence exercised by our late King, making for the peace of the whole world.

That reminds me, Bir, that we are nearing the cele. bration of the century mark of peace to the South; a celebration in which I have no doubt this Province und this Dominion will {ake a fitting and prominent part. Notwithstanding the exasperating recollections of the War of 1812, Canada and the United States have set the world an excellent example of how two nations with a 3,000-mile non-fortressed and un- garrisoned frontier may live at peace as neighbor nations ought to. Lack of Content and Intent. Coming to #hat portion of the speech which reviews the past Ade ministration and the expected legisla. tion of the present Government I may be permitted to remark, fir, that the most noticeable feature of the whole speech is its absolute lack of content and particularly of intent on the pars of the Government. Prison Labor. With reference to the question of rison labor, while there has ho ubt been a great deal of laudable work done in the way of employing suggest to the H abl id ke to e Honorable, vin. cial Secretary, the idea of consider- ing carefully not only those whose liberty is restrained and who are con- fined in our public institutions, but also those who were prior to 'their incarceration dependent upon - them and who possibly suffer more through their confinement the actual prisoners. Some scheme might be devised which would not only en- courage thrift and honesty on the part of those confined, but would also serve to alleviate the suffering of those who formerly depended upon The next paragraph of the speech '| deals with a very important ques- tion, which I regret to say, is touch- ed very gingerly and uncertainly-- that of téchnical and industrial .edu- cation. The reference to this wery impoFiant subject is as follows: e necessity for and the advan- This indeed ds non-committal manner. - HOW OLD PEOPLE "Yay Prolong Their Lives. _ {Xt an advanced age waste is more Fire sow and lew elctnaly han We want to say to every aged son in this vicinity tha delicious cod liver. and iron : find taken by this side of the House le | sult | Government had accepted | gestion and leader of the Opposition, in a brilliant | 45-minute speech, gave a coneise and | | might well No British subject | | work of the | and at-the same time-have had the THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, SATURDAY, t year.

Our | motion was as follows: "That in the | opinion of this House the province | and" the municipalities should unite { in (a) the establishment of techmical | schools in the towns and cities in i~Cntario-to supplement the practical | training of the workshop. | rangement as to the basis of support | for such oho a befor Ie | province, the municipality a | interested manufacturers. (c) The establishment in She larger 30 ustrial of ig! | (d) That she powers of the municipal- ities should be %nlarged so as to en- | able them to aid in the of such work." | This, Bir, was 8 well-defined scheme, and, had the Government | accepted it and appointed a commis | sion to make the necessary inquiry and obtain the necessary information, something practical right be the re in the immediate future. I can- help thinking, Bir, that if this this sug- had sent a commission | out to ascertain all facts pertaining to the technical and industrial con- ditions of this province, the informa. tion thus obtained would have fitted in with and would have been supple- mental to any information that the | report of the Dominion Government commission may contain. The latter not | commission does well in ascertaining | industrial and labor conditions here | and elsewhere not only in this coun- "try but several other countries; but | we, Sir, priding ourselves on being rovince of the Dominion, ve acted upon our own initiative, and as a result of con- current work ascertained more min- utely the requirements of this par. ticular province. Then, Sir, we could have availed ourselves the Dominion commission the banner uestion from an internal ealt more exhaustively with b own commission. As an advantage, the educational effect of a properly selected commission mov- ing from town to town and city to our | city throughout the province would have been Gistinctly felt and would have .done very much-towards crystal. liging the views of municipal officers, boards of trade, boards of education, and employers of labor on this ex- tremely important question. Contrast With Germany. There is a marked difference be- tween our educational system and that of other countries which have given the question of industrial edu- cation, serious consideraton. Perhaps in this province, considering we are a young country, the of cal- tween this nation and our cousins | Sure i between our | school system and that of Germany, for example, is, that our continua- tion classes are still entirely scholas- tit) Whereas v Germany says to her n: of your common e that you must in to think ofthis as a practical world, and I, the state, will assist you in a practical way, so that you may earn an est living. The result is -that" continuation classestin Germany become continua- tion * industpial schools. Of these there are 'some 2,200, attended by 350,000 pupils. After a two s course~in indugteial schoo the young man specializes attends' higher technical schools and insti tutes. i We believe i#*is the duty of the state to give to the child of the state such education as may hereafter make him the best citizen of the state. It becomes a very grave and important question whether this province might not, whether this province ought not, to give such practical assistance as will enable the youth of the province the better and 'easier to make a livelihood. My contention is, Bir, that we ought to establish in every industrial centre an "evening industrial school". to sup- t the work of the workshop. hese schools ought to be of such a general character as to reach out to all the lads in the workshops, and ought not to be confined to those who are fortunate enough to reach a high school or collegiate institute status. It is a matter of extreme regret that this Government has not taken more in a position fo take More active steps than it has done, and that the speech from the throne. says: "That the necessity is becoming more obvious, day_by day for 4 sps- tem of technical and.industrial edu- cation."

The Hydro-Electric Problem. Sir, I confess frankly that I have not as much confidence in the suc- cessful working out of this scheme as thas, apparently, the framer of the speech from the throne. There has already so much misconduct and mismanagement on the part of the commission as not to justify the highest hopes with reference to the future, Last year we criticized at length the inequitable and unfair way in which the commission obtain- ed their easements. We bave also 'heretofore dealt with the sbiolutely tyrannical legislation whereby tl votes taken in f municipalities upon one guestion were made to do service for an entirely different scheme. It will be recalled that by- laws were submitted in some fifteen municipalities in Western Ontario; the question then submitted to the ratepayer was, whether he was will- ing to ay a certain fixed figure for power x by the commission at the gate of his town or city. The ratepayer in that case was not called upon to make any inquiry as to the man bat had othe 10. decide eci the very simple quesdion whether power vay at door of his municipality at a certain price was cheap power 'or not. That called for no investigation whatever u the of the ratepayers, and ey by- ws were carried in some fifteen municipalities. Then, the Govern ment. entirely changed its scheme and instead of delivering, at a certain figure, power at the gates of the municipalitieséin question, it offered to sell powerrto the municipalities at Niagara at a certain price and to compel the municipalities to stand the cost of building and maintaining transmission lines, étc., let that cost be what it might. This was an en- tirely different scheme. Our view then was that when the Government and the commission entirely changed its scheme, the new scheme should have been submitied'sto the munici- palities and the ratepayers given the opportunity of saying whether they voted or nay on this new This Government absolutely re- fused them, and the vote that was given for ome proposition was taken as a test for an entirely different one, and slation was passed as though voted and favored the present scheme. Our contention then was, and now is, that the people should have been trusted ani the present scheme should have been sub- mitted to the people of the:munici- Julies for their, approval -or -disap- proval. There-is another phaserof this ques- tion deserving serious consideration, as the nmiaMter is being at pi worked out, the credit of the whole provinee is pled for the benefit of a few municipalities in order that cheap power may be ob for these municipalities. The absolute unfairness of this plan is better seen it we take specific illustrations of how it works out" For example, Brace bridge the other day held a banquet a result of the successful opening of their power scheme. What did Bracebridge require to do? bridge was . required to submit its "scheme to the Ontario Railway aud Municipal Board, a creature of the Government, and when their scheme hid been approved of by the Muni. cipal Board, Bracebridge was obliged to sell its own debentures. They sold at "981-2, bearing, I think, 41.2 per cent. intesdst. Now, this method of procedure towards ob- taining cheap power as, let us say, between Bracebridge and Welland. The province as a whole, Bracebridge included, 3s compelled to furnish cheap money and cheap power for Welland, but in turn the province as a whole, including Welland, does not endorse Bracebridge, and not assist Bracebridge in obtaining cheap wer. The result is that Brace- yridge loses $1.50 per hun on the sale of its debentures and pays 419 r cent. interest, whereas Welland Pe nothing on the sale, and gets its money at about 31-2 per cent. There can be but one result of this The Stomach Needs Help Liver, Kidneys and Bowels Must be Kept Active to Ensure Health, DR. CHASE'S KIDNEY-LIVER PILLS.

I leave it { with the Government to say whether | whether a uniform flat l | not be more equitable even within as representing the whole province they think such a scheme is fair and equitable to the whole province. And this. raises the further question rate would the electric zone. " Reforestration. 1 regret that I do not find any reference whatever to a very import. ant subject, perhaps one of the larg- est question which the Honorable, the Minister of Lands and Forests has to deal with, namely, that of re- foresteation. 1 thigk Sir, the Gov- ernment has been sufficiently long in power and the necessity of the conser. vation of our forests has been put so plainly, ana so often, before the Gov- ernment from this side of the House that the public might now expect a well-defined plan of forest conserva- tion and of reforestration. * Peopling the Northland. The honorable membér for South Norfolk spoke of the population of Ontario. In that connection, Sir, 1 desire ta raise the question whether we are doing as a province all that might be dore to obtain desirable immigrants; whether 'he province is at all doing its duty towards peopling our Northland? Sir, we know what the result of a vigorous Dominion i iquigration policy has done for the \ est, and I think this Government might well take a leaf out of their { book and show more initiative, zeal | an active propaganda | know something, Sir, | of 30,000 or 35000. This ! claims 51,000 and energy as to the important ques- tion of obtaining settlers for the fer. tile agricultural lands of North On- tario. Sir, this Government in that respect ought to awaken out of its sleep, and ought at once to institute in favor of own Hinterland. We of the rapid progréss of the West, Calgary, for ex- ample, last year boasted a population ear she Similarly monton's population last year was about 20, 000, now it is claimed that it is 30, 000. The population of the agricul tural lands of that province fs in- creasing in about the same propor- tion. This Government claims that we have as fertile lands in Northern Ontatio as will be found in the West, why then, is not something practical and tangible being done towards se peopling our curing population. | "splendi { ask the honorable gentleman whether That Three-Fifths Clause. I was rather amused with the ideas expressed by the honorable member for South Norfolk with reference to local option. He expressed the idea that a grand work had been accom- plished for temperance within a cer- tain time past, because of the fact that 242 municipalities had in that time adopted local option, that 59 hotel licenses had been cut off, and 16 shop licenses removed. is un- der the present law he said was a result." 1 would like to he is not falling into the logical fal lacy of proving either too little or too much? Tf it was a splendid thing | under the three-fifths clause to have | cut off 598 licenses, would it not have been a much more splendid thing to have cut off seven or eight hundred under a m#jority vote? What says the honorable gentleman? He sits silent, while the ridiculousness and the ab- surdity of his argument is apparent even to himself. He pledges himself to stand where he has always stood, namely, for the three-fifths clause: We, Sir, on this side of the House have ever stood on safer ground. We have maintained that so long as the vote 'taken in any particular muniei- pality has no bearing as to results outside of that municipality that it should be treated as an ordinary municipal vote, and tha' a majority should rule. Examine the present Act, and see what anomalous and rigdi- culpus results it ler ds to: town you have two voters, John Smith and John Brown. John Smith is 'a local optionist, John Brown is an anti-local optionist. Prior to the stbmission for the first time of the local option measure, according to tha present law John Brown's vote was worth one-and-a-half times John Smith's. The moment, however, lo- cal optiom is carried, notwithstand- ing that these same two mien are liv- ing and voting in the same town. un- der similar conditions the situation is reversed, and Johm Smith's vote become worth one-and-a-half of John Brown's. A law that produces such results would do credit to a sleight- of-hand man, or a Japanese juggler, but it is not at all creditable to a British Legislature. The only sound position to take, Mr. Speaker, is the 0-1 stand upon, Re "ons man, one vote, ard every vote of equal rdlue. We have, Sir, divided the House for five successive session. upon this question, and we will continue to di- vide it until the true principle of Jeg: islation is a adopted. 1, Sir, have taken that position, and intend to continue taking that posi tion regardless of who is hit. He wodld bs a mean local optionist who would ask to have the dice loaded in his favor, and he would be just as mean a friend of the trade whorwould make sack a request. i hould not be In a certain, 1 repeat, Sir, loaded - NS " -- mp------, 3 RANGE LILY SAVED MY LIFE" These words or expressions y t ---- -0 or ha we 1 agonies from from women who erous surgical operations tamaors and u rs had y the action of ( others whe bad = suppressed / menstruation applied direct to the suf As a trial actually prov i werth 35e., sufficient for ten write for it.
