Begg was then called by Mr. Givens and he explained how he had mixed the ointments about which complaint hal been made. He had always used fine powdered opium in making up this ointment. The lumps referred to would be caused by exposure to light or the air, Dr. Etherington said that the com- mission had heard enough on the ointment charge, and had their opin- ion on the matter, Witness said that Convict Laird refused to take milk ordered by the doctor. He questioned Laird, and latter stated that he had never suf- fered from stomach trouble and witness, on his own authority, had given the convict some tapioca and tea. This did not hurt the convict, as he was able to be out four days later. Mr. Givens referred to other charges which had 'been lodged against Begg by Overseer Wilson, which included neglect in keeping the key of refrigerator cellar in his possecsions, insolence and insubordin® ation, towards the overseer and the falsifying of recerds. On the first two charges, very little time was spent, the evidence being unimpor- tant, and attention was then given the last charge. Prison records were again inspected relative to the absence of prison of- ficials, but nothing of importance was brought out. Bathing of Prisoners. Mr. Begg was questioned as to the charge made by a coavict that he had not been bathed while in the howpital. °~ Witness 'could not give any information om this matter. Mr. Downey wanted to know what was the gemeral rule for the bathi of patients but witness said he ha no recollection of any general regula tions.

Mr. Downey ask- ed the witness. Given Too Much Work. Witness admitted that this was eo, but explained that the trouble was due to the fact that too much work had been placed on his shoulders. Mr. Downey--"The trouble was over the failure to divide the work?" "Yes," replied the witness. Witness was questioned about the fa'sification of records in the. book Képt in the surgery and which re- cords the absence of officials. Overseer Wilson stated that two weeks after he had taken over his duties' in 1912, he found that several changes had teen made in the case of Begg. It was shown that this record was not presented at Ottawa, for the pay shest, but that' the book kept in the warden's office was used for this pur- pose, so that there would be nothing to gain in the changing of the records for Begg. 2 He had swore positively, that he did not know anything about how the changes had been made, and no solu- tion was arrived at to clear up the mystery, 'although the chairman was aaxious to have it cleared up. - add anything further, they could sub- mit a memoranda to the commission. ahs commission then adjourned for It was stated that at t session a report Ww H.

F, Fenow, the head of the department of forestry at the University of Toronto, on 'Moi ag- ing the Future," called for a type of patriotism that strives to conserve improve conditions that make for true greatness of a nation. Patriot ism of the military kind he could see no occasion for specially fostering, on that of the braggard. It is not op timism, seeing thi better than they really are, or imism, seeing the darkest side of the situation, but it is "mediumism," which is the policy of Dr. Fernow.

The view that the aim of the law should be to protect society from further onslaught by the eriminal, and not merely to wreak vengeance on the offender, is here to stay. The institutions of parole and of proba- tion are dving goed, and their influ- ence should not be curtailed. At the same time, however, our courts should not abandon discretion to the winds: y Judge Olson's arraignment of the "foolish Sympathy™ ich turns loose upon the community the pick- pocket and petty criminal who will never reform deserved consideration. i Leniency toward a misguided youth who gets into trouble, but who will mend his ways if spared a prison sen- tence, is justified. This same len- fency extended to a thoroughly "bad" fellow, in spite of his "stage grief" and promises, is wasted. In faet, it is but a spur to further crime. hh bbdb ddl bib bbb blbdb ddd > %# POSTAGE ON CHRISTMAS Ld WHIG. * » .| + On Tuesday we announced that 6¢ in postage would be required to mail each num-. ber.

""There are rarely lange contiguous areas of commercial timber in Cana: da, as ave found, e.g., in the south- ein states; such timber occurs more fraguently in pockets, islands or small areas distributed among the less val: vale woodland.

"It is needful here to call- attention to the erroneous notions, that lumber men and other good people have re garding the rate of growth at which trees grow to long size. This is an important matter, as it determines the attitude which people take towards provision for the future," ' The speaker dwelt at some length on ithe damage to the forests by conflag- ration, and the extent of the areas of agricultural soil of the dominion. He concluded : "Let me warn you that this policy of non-concern in the fate of your forest soils can have only one : the revenues from this which could have heen kept flowing forever are bound to give out sooner or later, and direct taxation must be substituted. Then Canadians will _begin to take interest in their, What is needed, is first of all a patriotic spirit which takes an interest in these internal economic problem®, a recognition of the moral obligation which the present genera- tion owes to theifuture gemerations to hand over, unimpaired in their pe ductive power, the resources, - which like the soil and the forest can be kept in inexhaustible reproduction; then breaking with the antiquated methods; which fitted the early pioneer. ing times, and substituting a more modern up-to-date and efficient mam agement of these resources." ) Prof. W.
