It will be remembered that it suffered severely from the inefficiency and irregularity of its councils and public officials. In contract making and all that it implied Montreal was déandalized to a remarkable extent. The Cannon report will be recalled. It emphasized the salient features of a public enquiry which indicated that money had been .shame- fully misapplied. the people's As. a result of that civic upheaval, which affected the masses, there was an imitation of Toronto's system of of control.

It was that the board ofreontrol had not the power to close up contracts. The council might amend them, and if it could amend why could it not make contracts? The first thing Montreal knows it will have a helpless political machine on ifs hands, and the board of con- trol, or the council, or both, will be subject to the undue influencés of very designing men.

Morrison, who is one of the high est authorities on military subjects in Canada, sums up - the results of the military conference. It does not matter who «suggested this con ference, the minister, Col. Hughes, o some member of the headquarters' staf. Jt was a good thing. It brought a lot of enthusiasts together. and started them talking, . Granted that they proposed some impossible or improbable things. They made a stir in military headquarters, and it was badly needed. : Col. Morrison removes some current misconceptions. One was that the "reforms'] might cause a tremendous increase in the expenditure, and tc the extent of $15,000,000. - The recom' mendations were of two kinds--those that meant changes leading to the efficiency; without adding materially, if at all, to the cost; and those that implied a development of the forces, recent | with some expense as a natural con sequence, Changes will be made in the pay. Or rather the pay of the men will be adjusted, beginning with a flat rate of $1 per day, with a slight deduction from the pay 'of those who fail to qualify. The Citizen strikes a high and pa triotic note when it repudiates the idea that the fate of pay influences the service in the measure professed by some people. The men who soldier for the love of it, for the exercise it CHANGES IN THE MILITIA. fitnesé which it supplies for the duties of citizenship, are not concerned so much about the annual pay, and the men who do worry about it will not make "desirable recruits." With regard to comseription--that bogey which some one started up in the general discudkion--there was real ly no ground for it. The reference to the high school "and eollege boys was not at. all alarming, There are per- sons who like the Garman idea that every youth should, noder compulsion, take military training: and what Col. Morrison said is absolutely 'correct. | The students cannot drill during their study season, and the usual military schools are closed when the young men are free for military instruction. Summing up the conference, Col. Morrison says : "The trouble in the past was that there has been a decid proneness to establish regulations which 'might be admirable for a regu- lar army or might suit conditions in Great Britain, where there iv a large leisure class, but which are all but un- workable under conditions prevailing in this conntry, The only result' of the new minister of militia is in the direction of obtaining practiosl sugges- tions from the officers of the militia as to how to arrive at the desired re- sults by mere suitable methods. And it is likely to be quite successful, pro- vided the recommendations and sug: gestions 'are not sidetracked."

Baltimore, Dec. 1.--'"The tight skirts worn by fashionably dressed women are an-invitation to pickpockets and thieves," said Chiéf of ' Police Far- nan, to-day. The Baltimore chief has been making a study of the effect of styles of dress upon the pickpoe ket's art. "Women will carry handbags con- taining money and valuable papers," e said. "lime was when women had pockets in their dresses where they could put a wallet or purse, but now- adays their gowns are built so tight that they couldn't slip a folded $1 bill in them without making them bulge. 'There was another time when women could stick valuables, money or small wallets and purses into the bosoms of théir gowng, but they can't do that now, for most of their gowns button up the back, and somebody would have to button the purse in and go along to unbutton it- out. Women carry handbags along dark streets; a purse snatcher rushes out on them. There is a short, sharp struggle, if the woman is the least bit plucky, but the purse snatcher generally" wing." . - OBJECTED TO BLONDIN 'As Deputy Speaker Because he Disloyal, Ottawa, Dee, 1.--An interesting fea- ture of the parliamentary session was the protest of the liberals against the Sppointmigat of Edouard Blondim; 5 rench nationalist, as deputy speaker.
