Yesterday was temperance Sunday in the Christian world and the ocea- gion was taken advantage of in the church td emphasize certain temper- ance principles. Generally the teach- ing wae that to the liguor traffic was due many of the evils with which it {was associated, and that the Chris tian people would be justified in <%- ing all 'they could to extirpats it. The other side of the questidn wa: presented in the document which was laid before ths ilcense commis sioners-of Quebec recently... The zim lof the article was to démonstrate tha! 'alcohol was not to blame as much TEMPERANCE SUNDAY. as the temperance people contended, for the poverty and distress of the times, That there is social Adgenaration in the world goes: without saying. But, it. ia contended, that the cause is due to many things, namely, im pute food, defective shelter and un sanitary houses. When, says the document referred to, th» gories of life cannot be secured by | the millions of men, women and { children, when they {the scanty wages they earn, egnnot eration are at once soen. The unfortunatp accident on Friday night, leading to the death of 'a line leads to a consideration of the pole nuis- man of the power department, ance. In the recent conference between the city and the railway cdmpany a proposition was made respecting the removal of the present woodén poles and the substitution for them of iron poles. They would be ornamental in pearance, and serve a doublé pur- pose. They could carry the wires for the street cars, and the wires for the fire alarm system, and street lighting «system. Thess would . be above ground, because it would not be expedient to bury them, or put them under the streets' surface - in conduits. But all the other wires should be put out of sight and harm's 'way when the street is being paved. Hamilton made an appeal to the railway commission last week Jor an order to the telegraph and telephone companies to remove their overhead wires and cables from the ap- ' ABOLISH THE WIRE DANGERS. It lost its case because the companies produced agreements, some years ago, and seemingly gotten by the aldermen, and in fa vour_of the companies. Kingstcn some years ago made agreement with the telephone pany for a monopoly of the telephon business. During the term of this agreement no agreement with any other _ company will be made. Th telephone company contended that it had the right to erect poles on the streets for an extension of its busi- ness, and under federal legislation and a federal charter. It might decline to remove its wires now, but it has put many of them in the ground, and] com- Princess street with a little encour- agement. Any move will be welcomed aims at the abolition of the forest! of poles on the main streets and the maze of wires, especially at. the strect corners. The fatal accident has ser- ved to emphasite the danger of the which streets. « ever banished, if this is possible. Aiter reading Henri Bourassa's ad dress before the Canadian Club of Mc Gill College one musf feel somewha: humiliated. Mr. Bourassa said he dic not glory in the fact, but he made the native Canadian wince as he dwelt For instance, a Canadian could not bécome a natural ized subject by residence in Canada: the Canadian Copyright Act would not be recognized in other countries; Canada eould not extradite a criminal from any country with which Great Britain did not have a treaty; Can- ada had not a marine which would be recognized on the high seas; a Cana- dian abtoad dared not put the Cana- dian coat-of-atms upon his door. For these and other reasons it was ab- surd for Canada to éntrust herself in the defence of the empire, and espe- cially to send warships to the North Sea, from Canada or from England, when purchased or built with Cana- dian money, and leave our own shores unprotected, Mr. Bourassa made it appear that the relations between Great Britain "| and Canada were not very real; and he repudiated the idea that he must nol say this when Sir Charles Tupper had denied that Canada was a burden to the empire, and Hon. C. J. Do herty had said that Canadian was un der no dwoligation, legally or constitu tionally, to contribute to the defence: of the empire. All this talk had on unquestionable tendencys-to-depreciat: the bearing or duty of Canada to the empire.

You cannot develop in the foreigner the same purely mental at- titude toward Great Britain that you | have, but what you can accomplish is | to create among the people a common sentiment for this portion of the em- rire; and 'in: that way you will make Canada the strongest portion of the empire," So Mr. Bourassa would 'have Can- da defended. How ? He did not say. When the Laurier government was in ppwer, and passed a Naval Act, with power under it to build ships and cre- wie a navy, he opposed it. He and his allies pictured the premier and his colleagues as monsters who presumed to press the sons of French-Canadians nto the service and sacrifice them in the wars of Great Britain.
