Our conservative friends do not appreciate independence in parlia- "ment as much as they did three years ago, when it. was a liberal gov- ernment which suffered. The members who then stood up in parliament and opposed fhe policy of their party were, in their eyes, . patriots and heroes; while Mr. Bennett and Mr. Nickle are in the way of being re garded as cranks and kickers. But the government's legislation will go through. Mackenzie & Mann know that, save Mr. Bennett and Mr. Nickle, ' all "the government. supporters in the house put the party and Mac- kensie & Mann first, the public in- terest second! They, will support the "deal" remembering the aid which the conservatives received from Mac- kenzie & Mann in the 1911 cam- paign and bearing in mind that there ; are other elections to come. : EATEN BY ELECTRICITY © There are people who are won- Hering why © the Utilities - Com- "mission is taking up what is regarded "as good pipe. and re placing it, on Princess street. From a superficial observance this. may be the idea of people, but investigation proves that the pipes have suffered ity piercing the metal and] creating pin holes throughout it. These pipes are all being replaced. and are being covered with a preparation that pre remain in the ground, Jatér there would be trouble + and damage would ensure to the city { i paving. £ a pipe afiected On Ontario street, recently, with electrolysis was found to have Leen leaking for a num- ber of years, a very. great loss in wa- ter to the department. A whole length of connection had to be chang ed. It is quite probable, in a hun dred or more instances, during the next few years, repairs and covering oi the pipes will have to be resorted to. © LIVING UNDER A VOLCANO, Wonder is often expressed that peo- ple should continue to live in places 80 dangerous as the slopes of wolca- noes, exposed pot only to the fury of eruption but "tp. the 'more frequent risk of earthquakes of volcanic origin. But the soil is very rich for the very reasons that make the place danger- ous; the lava after an eruption gra- dually disintegrates into arable land, and the voleanié ash perpetually re news the soil; the farms about Etna have been cultivated for thousangds of years, aud they will probably be cul- "tivated to the end of time, And after all, why not? Pioneers of all races have taken greater risks from fevers and savages to get a little bigger or better farm--risk is not necessarily a bad thing if there is a good motive for if. Etna, like Vesuvius, has from time to time taken its toil of human life, but in proportion to those whom the rich soil has nourished, the num- ber iS insignificant, and the average expectation of life is. not greatly re- 3 Nor does the recurremt risk 11 : {ok the happiness of the people--are 4 il nh i of T or Y the risks of the trade?

Farm laborers are veeded badly in ~ Outario. . Hon. James Dufi was ask- "od recently why the farmers did vot 'dain their farms "They cannot get { hearts." and employmeht "agencies. Always they get the same answer. "No ome wants to leave the city to go on a farm." od Is the farmer. for the ¢ ly responsible fo & city a la stated number ol When his labors are ended ° he has Many amusemetits and pleasures at Band. Oh a farm the hows are loig. The wages have increased greatly, it is true, but mon- ey is not everything." What is there for the farm Yand to do when he 1s through? Where is he to go? In creased remuneration will not make if up for the many advantages that the "Feity resident believes he enjoys. In Great Britain the farm hand. is geting more money and working shorter hours. Could not the On- tario agriculturist settle ob n stated: number of hours of labor per day for his assistants ? It should be possi- ble for the immigration authorities and the farmers to join forces, 'By combined effort they should be able tu offer inducements to farm laborers that would prove irresistible. Cer tainly the need is pressing. effort. should be made to solve the problem. Other classes of immi- grants Ontario can afford to seo pass by for awhile, but not the man wha will go on the land. Every ALAS, AND ALAS! Nickle has evidently, com- the unpardonable political His associates, in.the conserva- WP mitted sin tive game, are evidently forgiving mood, especially toward one not in who has been brought so closely in alliance with them. They only him as one who has abused the vileges of home and has assailed the chief of the clan. Mr, Nickle said but little, but he said too wuch § he ever had hopes of being permitted to caucus privileges. Fvidently, in his righteous indignation, he made a thrust at the premier. As the young Kingstonian is well up in terms, having all his life heard no- thing but Kingston and Pembroke railway and Kingston and Cataragui Street Railway debates, he seems to have fallen a victits to a phrase that has alienated him, from his cult, and dammed hi to forever live outside the' palace of the sulect. With evident he seems to see pri- railway vigor and viciousness have described the premier as a man who had "turned a sharp curve." The language is bright and happily conceived. He might have called him *'a flopper," or a "dodger," or a i dozbu more objectionable things, but he #eatly and "specifitilly told the wide world that Borden's curves were sharp and evidentfy smoothly oiled so that he could get around the cor- ner with adeptness awd agility. And because he so genuinely pictured the first man of hig party he is to be pilloried, and we should not be sur- prised "to learn of "Tom" Crothers or "Bob' Rogers thrusting a dagger under his fifth rib.~ And as'the com- ic cartoon says, "the worst' is yet to come," he is anathematized and read out of the party in his home town.
