JE W Northrup, Manager. THE LATEST HANNA DODGE Two si delivered ih the Tafgis- lature by Hou! W. J. Hauna during the recent session--one on temperance, the other on social reform--are being sent out by thousands to clergymen and social reformers throughout the province. That Mr. Hanna should seek to get the case for the govern- ment re the electors is periectly Jegitinate. provided he does so in a fair and reasonable way, : But to send. out tory campaign lit- erature marked "Printed Ly order of the legislatuve assembly" and without the payment of postage, while the lib- erals will have to print and pay post- age upon Mr. Rowell's speeches on the same questions should they desire to circulate them, is not playing the game. There is probably on record somewhere an order of the legislative assembly for the printing of these #) 8, but it must have been put through by the printing committee in 8 distinctly wnobtrusive way. Mr. Hanna is gaining a malodorous repu- tation as the Artful Dodger of Ontar. io politics. The use of .the leave to print for the franking of conservative campaign literature, while' liberals, who have to pay in taxes their share - of sending out their .rivaly' appeal, ure precluded irom making use of the same process, is one of the meanest dodges that even the provincial secretary : add place 'to his. discredit.--Toronto . é HOW WOMEN VOTE, Some of the suffrage leaders have been studying the matter of the 162,- 96] votes cast by the women at the Chicago municipal election, and drawing conclusions more or less generally interesting. It is settled Ahat they did not line up against the "men to precipitate the sex war some fy "nervous males bad predicted. Neither y 'were they as closely kept within party livies, a much larger proportion of in f dependent ' votes being cast by women i than by men. 7 The democratic voted ticket, was . by 34,718 Chicago : women, the re- +. publican by 32,699, the socialist by 11,676, the prohibition by '1,625, and 20.011 women voted independently. From these various facts the sui- fragista reason that women are so hidebound as men in their cal conservatism; that more women can be found to vole on reforms than wen, and also that when the reform is a very radical ong they go a bit more slowly than the men. Altogeth- er, they claim, "the women's vote in * Chicago was eminently a» safe and save vote, making for social stability and not for revolution." not politi SOME RESULTS. What. can be dons by cooperation among fa ' well illustrated by ~ the story of Mr, Fawcett in the po- _ tato industry of Sackville, N.B. Mr. Fawcett had land there that was splendid potato' growing land; he could . grow fine potatoes in quantities, but he could get no profitable market ior them. He moved out of Sackville and went down to Maine, where the potato industry was carried op suc cessfully. He found there, says the Montreal Witness, new appliances for cutting, planting and hoeing potatoes 'in a' wholesale way that saved much . time. He learned the necessity = of , having the whole district grow po- tatoes, and not a single farmer in a district, for only in this way is it possible to secure advantageous ship- : facilities and a good market. © went hack to Sackville, The first fall he was back he could only find four carloads of potatoes to buy in 2° all the districts round about, by by talking potatoes and elicouraging po- ii tato growers, . 'two years ago he had increased the output of the district Car loads, last year one hundred and seventeen car . loads, and this year he expects not less than two hundred car loads will sent out with a return of about. forty thousand dollars in cash to the farmers in the district. That is busi- « te to oy election day, or will they vote The one great issue in the coming provincial election i the abolition ¢ ef 'many electors, who heretofore have been most zial. ous and enthusiastic in temperance work. We refer to those electors who_are affiliated politically with the conservative party--a party that is opposed to progressive temperance le- gislation, Will our conservative friends cast aside their political alle- glance and vote and work for the Rowell policy ?* The issue is before them. Their sincerity and donsis- tency is at stake. They have been very prominent in local temperanes campaigns in their efforts to bring about conditions similar to what Mr. Rowell is battling for. Will they line 'up; with the forces of reform on v and work for a government that has im- posed the un-British three-fifths clause for the purpose of throttling the will of the electorate, and has rigorously opposed and ridiculed the advanced temperance legislation of the liberal party ? There is no need to hesitate. The issue is a clean cut one--as plain as a pike staff. The conservative elector who fesses temperance principles and votes against bar adelition shows that his professions are not, sincere. He is giving the. temperance cause a body blow. ; pro- THE WELSH CHURCH The passing of the Welsh Disestab- lishment Bill by the imperial parlia- ment closes ap agitation 'which has existed for many years. The church was the church. of the minority, and to the nonconformists it was consider ed a grievous burden, which they had no right to bear. Its disestablish- ment, we Lelieve will be for its owy good. The Church of England in Ire land, disestablished in Mc. Gladstone's jtime, has not sufiered in any way by the action of that statesman, remarks the Hamilton Times. Tt occupied a position in Ireland which was dis tasteful to the majority oi the people, and its liberation from anything like state control gave it the freedom it needed to work out its own salvation. The disestablishment of the Church of Wales will remove four bishops from from the House of Lords and from the House of Convocation for Canterbury. The question arises, will the Church of England in England meet the same fate as has the Welsh éhdrch? The non- 1s increasing in strength. Many ot the arguments that applied to the Welsh and Irish churches apply to it, and it is quite probable that those outside. the pale may look towards its disestablishment. The Church of England in Scotland is not an established church, and it has but a small following. But the Presbyterian church--the kirk--is th established church of the country. Just now it is discussing terms of union with the United Free church, both bodies combined including most of the church-going people of Scotland. There is no great demand among the Scotch for the disestablishment of the kick, it holding that although it is _ the state church, the state has no _con- trol over its conscience however, has the power to collect tithes, and, if we'snistake mot, it is not entirely free as to the matter of patronage. The church, SAFETY IN OCEAN FREIGHTERS, In the revision of the rules to in sure, safety at sea that followed the Titanic disaster there was evidently little attention paid riers. to freight cay The fate of the crew of the Colum bian shows the danger that ever transport must face, even though it travels by the usual lane and 1s equip- ped by wireless. Upon May 3th this ship, a ftaunch steel vessel bound from Antwerp 1o New York, caught fire. It burned so rapidly that there was scarcely to send out a wireless call and to launch the boats. numbered forty-nine, and all excepting three, who were burned or drowned, got aloard. The first boat, with thir. teen survivors, was picked up after forty hours' exposure by the Fran Conia; the second, with thirteen, wus found ten hours later. The wen had safiored torments from thirst and posure. The third boat was found Sunday eh four of the seamen still alive pi te? fourteen days of suffering. The re mainder died from exposure. That an: lived through the fortnight of buffet ing on the sea, with little food or wa ter, is a marvel. The Springlield Republican reminds us that it is quite futile to count, upon the elimination of fire hazards. Fire destroys more shi than storm. In spite of all the precautions that may be taken the danger of fire wil remain, especially aboard the freight carriers. The Columbian was & mod. ern ship, bit the #t% spread so rapid- ly that the nien had barely time to get away. When they gpt away the. sea was fortunately not rough; otherwise uone would have survived. "If one of the threes boats had been time for help The crew €x- conformists are & strong body, and it. might have been saved." The Repub: lican touches here, the safety system of freight transports that = evidently needs attention most. There can be no small boats provided that will guarantee safety in case of a ship's destruction. But there can be provi- sion made for means of escape from a burning or sinking ship that will not in ordinary weather leave survivors completely at the mercy of the winds and waves, without food or water or shelter.
