He was taken to his home, and enquirers were told later on that he was doing satisfac- torily. The marquis suffered a simi- lar sudden collapse in March, 1911, after which he was laid: up for sev- eral weeks. Extension of Public Utilities Owen Sound Advertiser. The mayor of Kingston proposes to extend the stope of the city's func- tions by taking over the business of supplying ice and making it a public matter. Believing that the consumer is paying too much to the dealer, the mayor proposes to take the busi- ness oul of the dealers' hands and supply ice at cost. He holds that ice is a necessity and as such should be supplied at the lowest possible cost. This opens a new line of thought in the matter of publie utilities. If a municipality is to go into.the ice business, why not 'go into the busi- ness af supplying articles that are equally, ar even mere necessary? If ice is a necessity in summer, coal and wood are equally necessities in the winter. Why should the muniei- palities not go into the coal and wood business? And bread is a necessity all the year round. Why should municipal bakeriez not be started? And municipal butcher shops which might help some in solving the cost of living problem? There are great possibilities in this matter of municipal ownership of utilities, and almost no limit, when we get right down to it, te what may be considered ufilities. Some day, even, we may see the municipalities running departmental stores. Given Past Chief Jewel Gananoque Reporter Mr. and Mrs. Harry Muir expect to leave shortly for Kingston to take up their residence. Mr. Muir has been treasurer of the local camp of the Sous of Scotland, and at the regular meeting last week he was presented with a handsome jewelled medal in re- cognition of his long and faithful ser- vice extending over the past twenty years.

Ottawa, March 1§.--The presence of ¥. P. Guiellus, superintendent of the Intercolonial railway, has added uew interest to the Canadian North- ern gituaton at the capital. Gutelius il was who, with J. Lyneh- Staunton, of Hamilton, recently in- vestigated the cost of the National Transcontinental railwiy, and there iu reason Lo believe that'he has been culled to the capital do advise the government as to. the details of the basis of understanding to be worked out in connection with the Canadian Northern "application. It is further stated, and there ap- pears to be good reason for the re- pert, that Mr. Gutelius is also work- ing out stme basis of agreement whereby the Canadian Northern will undertake to route its tarflic east- ward from Montreal via the latercol- cnial to the ports of St. John and Halifax. There are indications at present that the Canadian Northern has in view a winter outlet for its traffic by a road which may be eonstructed southward across the border. The government feels that Canadian traf- fic should find its way through Cana- dian perts, and over Canadian rail ways. If such an agreement. as is mentioned shove were entered into, 1.ot only would the Intercolonial re- ceive an impetus, but the ports of Halifax and St. John would in the winter months be very much benefit It is very probable that some such undertaking will be given by the company as a partial return for value received.

In sting- ing words, he charged that British domination had caused demand for the repeal, and that abandonment of the Monroe doctrine would be the togical result of following the ma- Jority's views. He branded the present admini- stration's attitude a "peace-at-any- price" policy.

"A situation unparalleled in his- tory now confronts the nation. The custodian of our rights, our agent in dealing with foreign affairs, advo- cates the case of Great Britain. We are left without a spokesman. With no attempt to settle through diplo- matic channels, with no suggestion of referring this vital question to ar- bitration, unconditional and com- plete surrender is urged." » Knowland held that passage of the repeal bill would be "cowardice" and| ¢ a notice to the world that this na- | tion had abandoned, under foreign q pressure, it's "traditional policy of an American controlled eanal as af- firmed and defended by other presi« dents." He also branded it a "virtual sur- render" of this nation's constitution al power te regulate demestic ¢om- merce. The majority views om bat- tleship tolls payment he charactbr- ized as a foreclosure of the United States' right to pass these vessels free. The California member termed it "astounding and pusillanimous that it is unnecessary and "urge our contention, even though fuliy convinced of our ab- stract right," when a foreign nation interprets a treaty against this coun- try. Knowlaad declared that if this na- tion consistently supports "this new doctrine, truckling to the British government," it must repeal the pro- vision that no railread shall operate a competing ship line through the canal."
