Elliott, President. Leman A, Guild, See-Treas. 28 Queen City Chambers, 32 Church The address of Prof. Skelton, before the Canadian Club, on ~The Socialist Urift," was very illuminating. Social- ism is a big study, and it cannot be understood without presisient study. The average socialist is a passionate student. He may be calm enough at the outset, but eventually, and be- fore long, he imbibes the spirit of his class and then his viewpoint is "en- tively changed, In the course of his address--which described concisely the progress of the socinlist' movement, in Europe and America=Prof, Skelton referred to the vid "nge pension scheme as something which was subject to varying opinions, Prof. Skelton is evidently in harmony with some of the views of Sir Richard Cartwright, and he should be able to express himself freely on the question During the last federal elections, Mr. Crothers, who is now the minister of labour, said at two or three meetings in West Elgin, which he represents : "I am iy favour of indemnifying every man who lost a dollar by the operations of the management of the Farmers' Bank, Some people said that the depositors only should have their losses made good, but 1 hold that others are in the same position as the depositors. We in- tend tq see that every man who lost will be recouped. have According to Hansard, the premier was interrogated on the subject a few days ago. It is the privilege of some men {0 say wild things, and it is the duty of the first minister to for them. Thus Mr. Borden was, after due asked if there had #ny promise given hy Mr. Urothers in the terms of his speech at herwood, Elgin conaty, and Mr, Borden, pre- questioning Mr. Cro- account notice, bean sumably after thers, said : "No such promise was made by the minister of lator. The government has to promises made other government supporters.' Here is a direct repudiation of a no information as by SOCIALISM AND PENSIONS. MINISTER CALLED TO BOOK. without 4nviting the ridicule which the Montreal Star poured upon the vene- rable senator. The Cartwright idea is that men should be encouraged to succeed in service and thrift, and when they do the annuities system is the most satis fying. Yet there are many who can not, through stress of circumstances, provide for the contingencies of old age, and they are not to be ignored or forgotten. The aanger of old age pensions is in opening the way for indolence and im- providence, and one can look at this side of the question without being submitted to attack. The defenders of the annuities' system should pot be abused because they do not, and can- not, see eye to eye with the cham- pions of old age pensions. speech wnicn was reported id several of the papers, including that staunch defender of couservatism, the London It these days. Mr. Pelletier, the postmas- ter-general, and Mr. Reid, the minister of customs, wept up into South Rda- frew, and sapposing they were free to see what they liked made statements which they later disowned when they the Free 1'ress. is not uncommon in | were asked for explanations in commons. Ihe conservative press, and cially the Free Press, may} stand the denials of the minister of } labour, but there are some people who will put him on the defence a little later. 'Fhese are the depositors and stockholders of the Farmers' Bank who are alleged to have Mr. (rothers' as- | surance that the conservative party, if returned to power, would see that they were reimbursed from the public | exchequer for all their losses. The as- sumption is that the party did not ex- pect to succeed, and that Mr, Crothers did a little blutling. The succession of his party to power puts him in an embarrassinf position. Chickens, they say, will come home to roost. espe- | Loudon The Brockville Times has spent a column in combating an idea which does not concern the Whig very much, though the Whig has seriously disturb ed our conterfiporary's peace of mind. This paper had occasion to refer to the most remarkable debate which Mr. Lancaster precipitated and with re gard to the Ne Temere decree. Mr. Lancaster led off boldly. He was greatly encouraged by some of his po- Mr. Wallace, 'of Centre, York, was "in perfect gecord" with "Mr. Lancas- ters bill, and was in favour of it; Mr. Northrup, (East Hastings), re- garded the Lancaster bill as "one of the most important," and meast to use his own judgment in supporting it. Mr. Burnham, of West Peterboro, wanted the Lancaster bill passed and sent to the highest court, so that its value might be determined. Mr Clark, of Bruce, was in line with Lan- caster, and so was Col. Hughes, who wanted it understood that he was "marching shoulder to shoulder" with the man from Lincoln. Mr. Borden moved an amendment to the bill, practically shelving it for the time being. His idea was that the competency of parliament to pass the LAURIER AND LANCASTER. bis ime } i that had been duly licensed should be referred to the highest tribunal in the empire; and he based his argument on promises which had been advanced by Sir Allan Aylesworth and ridiculed by members of the conservative party. Sir Whlfrid Laurier had explained the Ne Temere decree and pointed out that it a modification of the Tamitsi decree, of the Council of! Trent, that had been in force for three hundred years. which were then before the courts and held that it would be better for parties that the issue might be left to these courts. The division of the members follow- ed on Mr. Borden's amendment to the Lancaster bill, and the Whig at the time called attention to the fact that Messrs, Bradburn, Clark, Hughes (Coly, Northrup, and Wallace had voted for the Borden resolution, while they spoke for the bill. Against the Borden amendment, voted, and with Sir Wilirid Laurier, Mr. Lancaster, Dr. Fdwards (Frontenac), and Mr, Maclean, (York). The Whig - associat- ed all these with the leader of the op- position on the Lancaster bill, but it gave the names as it found them in the printed records, and has no apolo- Laucaster bill respecting marriages gy to offer.

THE WHIG SEVENTYNINTH YEAR |NO POLITICS IN FORESTRY. ed at 306-310 King Street, Kingston, On- p.m. Clifford Pinchot is the highest auth- ority in the United States on forestry, sud in Oltawa, in an address, he em- phasized four fundamentals, which, he said, were necessary if forestry were to be made a success: "No polities, epough money, trained men and feder- al control." Academically he stated a greul truth, but only academically. Mr. Pinchot was released from office in his own country because he came into conflict with the politicians, the men who were acquiring or appropriating great na- tional wealth, the the national government did not, or could not, control. The repetition of an eternal truth amounts to very lit- tle when it fails to find a recognition where it should, and the champion of it suffers, It was some (ime after Mr. Pinchot had been removed from office, after he had passed through a fiery enquiry on the result of which an investigating committee split, and after the ex-for- eslry commissioner had endured more than his share of political humiliation, that some things happened in the Am- erican forestry department. He was vindicated, No politics in the public service ! Can polities be kept out of it? The Montreal Harbor Commissioners" are representatives of that class of non political experts who should be laud: ed and magnified. They took office with the determination that they would not know any man politically, that their time, their energies, their talents would be consecrated to the And twenty-thrée na: tionalist members of Quebec will never be happy until they have taken the political lives of these worthies. It may be that ia Ottawa some day the principle for which Mr. Pinchot contends will prevail, that some branches of the public service will be free from partizan taint, and that the people's cause will be exalted on its Unti] that day all men like Finchot ¢an dos preach the doctrine wonopolists whom merits. that no man can dispute Our Princess' Fad. Princess Patricia has that rare and rather dangerous talent for caricature satire of the pencil, and lately she has been ammusing her family circle with some rather daring '"lake-offs' of themsel ves. One represents the Duke of Con- naught (her father) in a violent rage wearing the uniform of a Field Mar and calling out, "Where's my Horse?" This sketch i« framed and hung up in the billiard room a! Balmoral. The Princess colors her sketches and gives a dainty 'and dashing finish, which as | makes them excellent pictures, apart from their value as portraits, Just occasionally, pf course, she has man: aged to get into trouble with them-- what caricaturist does not? All the same she must get quite enough fun out of them to pay for it. Want an Accounting. Several California labor unions have joined in issuing an appeal for help in forcing an accounting of the McNa- mara Defense Fund," by labor leaders who raised it. The appeal says in part : "This money (nearly a million dol lars collected in California, alone was collected for a specitic purpose.
