Syracuse, N.Y. Post-Standard There is at last something new in! China. Scientific charity has never: been practiced there before in 'case of famine. It is being practiced now. Scientific charity doesn't mean simply stufling free rice into the rat hole of famine. It means that the famine re lief committee, now engaged in the of- fort to keep 1,000,000 people from starving to death, proposes to be the last famine relief committee that Chi- na shall ever need. An engineer sent out by the Red Cross Society reports that the whole famine district of Northern Kiang Su ean be veclaimed and put beyond the reach of famine in the future. Conservation, another new thing in China, is (0 be the chief result of the present campaign if the scientific char- ily movement succeeds. Children with: out limit, to insure ihe happiness of the parents beyond the grave, inten- sive cultivation, of a thoroughness which pas hardiy left an open space] in a roadside or a bit of 'woods on arable land in the empire, these China has.

Mr. Sinclair (Guyshoro), took an oc- { casion to attack the subsidy to the ; Temiskaming and Northern Ontario | railway, which he said was unwar- ranted. Hon. Mr. Emmerson attacked the LC.R., whose future he painted in iE colors. Hon.

The deputation, representing, as has Veen said, the business interests of the whole province of Ontario, demon- strated to the government that the immediate. commencement of the work on the Welland is absolutely essential to the maintenance of Canada's right- ful 'position as regards control of wa- ter borne traflic from the lakes to the sea, and that no other proposed canal vystem will insure this. Why, then, the government hesitate ? If there exists between the government and its supporters a sort of happy- family peace and felicity, if there be no jarri elements to soothe, no war ring factions to appease, no contend ing interests to harmonize, why ean-; not the necessary attention be given to an imperatively necessary public work ? ! does ---------- Bad Name for the Boss. | Dodein was the new manager of a biscuit concern.

Judge Irving Beekman, of Sterling, IL, fined his own wile $25 for econ- tempt ol. court when she tried to tell more than she was asked on (he wit- ness stand. She paid the fine. Albert A. Barkman, a Newark, N. J., railway brakeman, dreamed that his head was severed from his body in a railway accident. On his nex: run the train was wrecked and he was killed. As the result of the alleged discov- ery by the government of Nicaragua of a plot to assassinate Secretary of State Knox, on the oceasion of his recent visit to the eapital of that couniry, it is noi improbable that a number of prominent "liberals" will be put to death. Demand Not Good. Hamiltdh Times, The demand that municipal residents about ' Ihres' first survey of the wreek- 1 who are not frecholders or leasehold- ers be allowed to vote on money by-} laws does not seem to gain much sup The monthly or yearly temant if permitted to vote on debenture] debts to be created extending over a! long term of years, would be privileg- ed to load the property with debt and step from under in the very first year, while the owner would be held for it. Jt doesn't seem to be an altogether fair proposition. It may be said that the tenant would have to foot the bill anyway. That is, of course, true; but the tenant who voted might never pay- another year's rent of that pro perty. The occupant renter would pay the taxes in the rent; but the man who oceupied during all the rest of the debenture term might have been opposed to incurring the debt, and the property would thus be misrepresent- od.
