THE PLANS " The people will surely buy Catara- qui bridge now, in view of the fact that it will in time be replaced by a new and commodious bridge, a couple feet hundred or more wide, strong, staunch and secure for any traffic. The idea was repudiated a while ago that the government meant to take aver the old bridge as soon as it had becu acquired by the city. Thére was wo undertaking to that effect, it was said. It transpires, however, that the bridge must eventually become a part of the harbour equipment, and that it will be made serviceable to the large dockage accommodation which will be necessary when the ves- depth sail into King. national sels of greater ston, The plans are taking definite shape wharf and for bridge and eleva- ARE MATURING. scone of the amplest expedient that tor accommodation character. Nor is there shall be any the energy which is being put into the work. Definite plans are desired--plans practicable and comprehensive must be pushed with the it lessening in of a kind--and they all the tact and council ean command. Hon. Mr. Hazen, the minister of marine, will be here on Wednesday, and he will, doubt, be shown | about and given an opportunity to understand what our harbour wants and what it will be with reasonable government aid. "The Welland canal will be undertaken at vigour which no enlargement once, and our harbour improvements should not be delayed. The work harbour should run completed about in the canal and concurrently and be the same time, What Mr. Lemieux and Mr, Mulock, (Sir William), accomplished for Can- ada in the post office department, Mr. Hitchcock has accomplished for the United States. A deficit of varying size--in the United States amounting to $17,500,000 in 1910--has been con- verted into a surplus, and not by any seamping of the service, but "by sci entific economy," to use the words of Mr. Talt. At one time in Canada it was not expected the post office business could be made sustaining. The rates were high--five cents for general letters and two cents for drop letters--and a vig- orous protest was entered by the con- servative opposition when it was pro- posed that there should be lower rates. The idea But Mr. Mulock had faith in the future of Can- and the first reforms turned Mr. Le followed in his footsteps was preposterous. ada, launched which mieux carried these reforms further, and with the whole of out so well, and immense advantage to Canada. The demand now pressing is for a parcel post, and it is remarkable that PELLETIER IN MEDITATION. it should be opposed, and by the west- erns boards of trade. They see in it the possibility of a rapid development of the mail order business, and to damage the local trade in the towns cities outside of certain centres, The United States is about to make the veniure, and through it to even up the business which has been helped along in a haphazard way, so far as the foreign trade is concerned, by a discriminatory tarif. A parcel is now carried for less from to Toronto than Toronto, and the and London, England, from Montreal to New York Tribune reports that a par- cel can be carried for less from Ger- many to San Francisco, (twelve cents a pound for a limit of eleven pounds), than from New York to Hoboken, (six- teen cents a pound for a limit of four pounds). This represents an in- which should not longer be permitted. What Canada's postmaster-general going to about it no ome can tell, but he has been given some timely suggestions, and something should "come of them after a season of incubation. four equality, in tarifis is do ? -------- / insurance companies are accept certain are concerned in the prolongation of those lives as much as possible. Hence they have their? copservation departments, and What they are attempting and ac- complishing may be ascertained from a recent circular of the Fquitable Life Assurance company; New York. "Civilization," it is pointed out, "may have reduced the average size of families, but it has also provided an increase in the life-saving knowledge by which to reduce the waste of life. The great no longer contenst risks upon the lives of men, but to t | 1t, therefore, follows: that if this know- ledge. is used there will be a reduction in the death rate, individuals will be healthier, and their offspring, while per- haps fewer in number, will start life with better chances of reaching a ripe old age. "Four out of every ten deaths, it is alleged, are due Lo preventable causes, and should these causes be done away with the average death rate of the country might be brought down from fifteen to nine per thousand of popula- tion." These are statements worthy of con- sideration, and while it may not ex- actly be within the province of a life insurance company to take an active Woodrow ee has announced him- self as a demd@ratic candidate for the presidency. He ought to win. The Taft-Roosevelt quarrel is spoiling the chances of a republican suceess, There is a loud call for new man- agers of the conservative party. in On- tario, Ministers Reid and Cochrane made a mess of it in South Renfrew. They may as well pass in their checks at once. Mir. Roosevelt, while presidént, de- ciared tht he would not under any circumstances, be a candidate for a third term, and he is now hot after The spectacle is not elevating. ; The Hamilton Herald thinks it is nonsensical to talk of South Renfrew election being a blow to the Borden government.

It will be remembered that the Me- tropolitan Insurance company led in this new work. It wanted to combat the white plague by erecting at suit- able points hospitals for the treat- ment of sufferers. from tuberculosis: and it wanted to enter upon a vigorous educational campaign to the end that the people might co-operate and for the elimination of the disease. It was ruled that the company was not char- tered for this' work, and could not spend ils money upon it. «And indirectly the Metropolitan, and every other insurance company doing business is America, are spending thou- ' sandfigol dollsglgaually, ves in the aggregate milliol of dollars, which could be saved by the scientific treat- ment of the disease. Eventually the insurance companies, in their own be- half, will lead in the education of the people in all that concerns their health and happiness. They will do this for the sake of the lives they have insured and for the purugse of making them reach the "expectation" they have in view, den EDITORIAL NOTES. vincial governments have a tory gov- ernment at Ottawa to deal with. Exception was taken to the big salaries which it is proposed to pay to the tariff commissioners, $7,500 to the chief and $7,000 to the others.

James Whitney is delaying the discussion in the boundary line be- tweeh Ontario and Manitoba. He wanted to know what Mr. Rowell would say il his motion were defeat- od. Mr. Rowell answered that he was acting in the interest of Ontario and was willing to have the issue with the people. Mr. Borden admits that the aid to good roads should be given out ac- cording to some plan or basis--this is the opposition contention--but de- clines to insert a provision to that effect in the bill. His plea is that the bill was drawn up in a hurry. Is that a reason why it should not be smend- pres SNE So PUBLIC OPINION. The Early Education.

Montreal Star Sir James Whitndy is confident that Ontario will still get a port on Hud- son Bay. H Sir James means access to a port, that seems to have been arranged already, but if he means pos- session of a port, he will apparently have to make a little more of the noise he is so capable of creating, A------ Good for Canada.

Women Against the Suffrage. Montreal Gazette, The women students of Ohio Wes. leyan University have voted by 110 to 5% against the sufirage for women. As the proposition is generally favored more by the highly educated among the fair sex, than by their more or- dinary sipters it is evident the advo- cates of votes for women have much proselytizing work ahead before their idea becomes an accomplished fact, NEWBORO NEWs BUDGET.
