Northrup, Manager: DEMAND OF THE HOUR The attention of farmers who pav taxes is called to the details of the new government honse at Toronto which the Whitney government is 'now building at an expense of a million dollars. It is a palace, and the pro- vince will have to pay dearly to per: mit the lieutenant-governor to reside within ils halls, and that governor, too, must be a man of wealth to help im its maintenance. The liberals in the legislature hyve very strongly declared their opposi- tion to Jthe style and snobbery that must be created by such a palace, and the farmers and workingmen through- out the province should speak loudly against the wastefulness going on The government is doing less for agriculture, is doing less for educa- tion, is 'doing less for a dozen different things that would be of advantage to the inhabitants of the province, and yel they can spend a million on a building whose ' chief purpofe will be to huild up class distinction, a most undesirable thing in Canada. One of the best remedies that can be applied is for the ridings that are, in any sense, agricultural, to put farmers; into parliament rather than the law- vers and doctors who now represent them. MANNERS OF CHILDREN Much has been said about the man- ners of the rising generation, 'and many remedies have been suggested. In these days when children are turs- ed aver to the schbols for care and attention various plans are suggested to improve their conduct and atti- tude to those , older than them- selves. Religious teaching has been advocated, others suggest military training, but the most effective way 16 "breed good manners is through example and the home is the only place that can properly give the in struction. © Too many children allowed to run loose, to do about as they like, with the result .that there is a loss of respect for age or pom tion, and a general 'training down wards which the street inculdates Parents should carefully watch their children, should guard their ; charac ters, and should seek to bring them up in a way that would bring credjt upon themselves and the homes they comé from. Alas, in too many 1n- stauces, thé parents are in need of good manmers even more than they childrén. Until we have proper-homes we will never have proper manners. MAY BE AN, ELECTION The talk in conservative organs, at the present 'time, is of a premature dis- solution of 'the legislature, with an election shout the end of June. This is splendid. evidence of the weakness of the government porty. They ure ajeeid of public opinion, and are anxious to have the wiatter settled as to their future, 'The parliament should con- tinne for another year at least; iv 1811 they 'adopted a similar course, jump ing in immediately after the recipro- "wity campaign in September of that vear. Vhe chief desire of the party is to make one more appeal to the pro. vince under the nominal leadership of © Sir James Whitney; they bank on him, and 'without his presence and as- sistance, they feel that the deluge would be upon them. The public will be alive to the gross abuse of power by the government. There was no reason why business should be disturbed for party advan' tage, as there is nothing pending of a pressing character. © They went in af ter the Borden government was elect- ed. and 'now it would seem as if they -- wanted ta feel public opinion,'so that J0N Edition) Sas year, aeivered in city ......36.00 Sas Yaar, #d in advan $0 Fear, 00 are 'Borden could follow with his election. | "The whole desire and object of the tory paity is to "dish the grits."

Rowell, who, as the Globe says, "has made good his title to enthusiastic support, from not merely those who have called them- selves liberals, ut also those who un- der other pamés have been driven to the conclusion that he best represents their political ideals." The liberals in the house have put up a maoly and strenuous warfare against the baneful legislation that has been offered by the government party. They have lead in all moral and social reforms, and have fgreed ac. tion by the conservative government in a number of instances, That of the Workmen's Compensation sect being, the most prominent. For seven years the liberal party have been pounding jaway until success crowned their ef forts. The opppsition that was mani- fest toward the bill was not from the liberals, but themselves. The liberal party in Ontario can fight with the feeling that there is splendid hope for success.

FOR A BATTLE CRY. But the Liberals Tmaugurated Policy, London Advertise : The tories of Ontario will use hydro, electric as a battle ery But they will keep dark the dissension that exists over hydro-electiic at the present time among the members of the commis sion. They will not acknowledge the aid in the promotion of that policy that was given by liberals. They will their promises to keep hydro-electric out of politics, and they will not admit that in so far as hydro-electric has succeeded it was by the co-operation of liberals. The liberals inaugurated ohe policy bf public owned und: distributed power in Ontario. 'The conservatives - have been given the necessary monev and the necessary engineers to earry out the policy.

Pngincering skidl, the desife of the public for cheap pow- er, endless financial resources, non payment of taxes and the coopera tion of the liberals with Hon. Adam Jeck have heen responsible for the de veiopment of the policy that gives light to_most of the municignlities of Western Ontario. The only difference between the Liberal policy on hydro-electric and fhe conservative policy was that Sir George Ross proposed to have the commission controlling the affairs of hrdro-electric elected hy the municipalities from among the re presentatives "of the municipalities The veteran statesman believed that politics should mot enter into the $control of this public utility He deemed it a thing above politics, He world have had the policy a policy of the country and not of a political party, The desperate fight in the Toronto cabinet against hydro-electric has not been forgotten. Had not Hon Adam. Beck heen given the support of the liberal party and the liberal ress he never could have carried the policy. through. While MY. Beck's methods have heen frequently criticized by. liberal papers, the policy of public-owned power facili- ties has been championed from time to time In every liberal paper in the province. bitterest 'opposition to the policy has come from conserva- tive pavers, some. of which have made desperate attacks upon the scheme at different times. Ls While there is constant fear of surrepder to that wing of the gov- ernment which is openly opposed to the Beck policy and which never makes reference to it, and which an- vears to be able to keep it out of its section of the provines, the liberal party in Ontario stands for a safe and sane administration of hydro- i electric and for the development of the policy upon broader linea than have béen laid down. Sir George Ross took the first stev. in giving the municipalities their own power. Newton W. Rowell would bring the scheme to its greatest development.
