The teachers' superannuation scheme in Tofoato is likely to be revised or abaudonéd, and because in. certain easel it bas been found inexpedient. When he reached his sixty-fifth year, Dr. Embree, ome of the best high . school principals, was retired on the prescribed allowance. Dr. Embree was able and willing to serve the Deard of Education and did not de- sire superannuation. He realized, as many do, that enforced idleness was bad for his health--men rust out more than they work out--and resisted the proposal that he should give up his profession. He was dropped from the staff of teachers, however, not to fall 4uto oblivion as too many do. He kept his case before the people, and aroused so much interest that the School is now ready and will- ing to reinstate him in its service if it can. Superannuation is a good thing, * but it should mot be forced on any one. When it is injustice is done. The man who is willing to work, and has the physical and mental capacity, should be allowed to do so. 'loo many are pushed aside upon pretence, to become burdens upon tie people, and some of them to reflect upon tha government 'or the board that caused this experience.

And yet some the government have not surprised. When Mr. Rowell took his aggressive attitude against the liquor traffic in ¢ thé legisiature 'the government had the appeals of its supporters for ad- vanced action. Sir James Whitney « responded in a detlaration that the $n or ovil of the times was the treating, and he proposed to abolish it.

"Yhe sonsexvative party scems to be thoroughly scared. ln Britain it is proposed that the stale undertake a control of immi- gration. It should have been done long ago. "Even now," says the London Chronicle, 'every effort should be made to keep British citizens who emigrate within the pale of the em- pire." FIGHTING WITHOUT HOPE. With the resumptiem of the imper- ial parliamint arises the irritating, and in a sense tite peremial question, What is: to be done with the sul- fragettes ? They are insufferably an- noying. They are incorrigible. They cannot be suppressed. And they can- not be allowed to go om, destroyiRg property in a ruthless, reckless way, with criminal istent, and without consequences. Mr. McKenna, the home secretary, is willing to admit that he cannot class them as ordin- ary oriminals since they 'are without the motives ef criminals generally, ' and yet are more vicious and un- {i nageelle than the criminals as a | class. + Four suggestions were made: with regard to their 'treatment, thus: To let them dis, to deport or exile them, to regard them as, lunatics, and to give them the franchise. Mr. McKenna regretted that he could mot accept any. of these prescriptions. There were some women who were really willing to die for the cause, and it was not expedient to accept their martyrdom. It was not prac ticable to deport them to an island, and keep them abroad. unless the is- land were constituted a prisen, and the women would then, as in Eng- land, go om hunger strikes. They could not be treated as lunatics and not be certified as insane. The voice of. the people protested against the granting of votes to them. The home secretary had an alterna. tive which he thought would be the end of militancy. It was to prose cute the subscribers to the militants' funds, criminally, because il was the rich, the proud, who contributed to the trouble with their money. While they lived in ease and luxwry and avoided presec@lion, they were keep- ing the agitation alive. It was thought that Mr. Asquith had wur rendered when he consented to hear the latest plens of the militants. But the answer 'which he made to_ them was direct .and decisive. There would be no concessions to the suffragettes at this stage of the case and there was no assurance from the premier that he wwuld their champion. ever become EDITORIAL NOTES. Hon.

What Mr. Rowell Says Regarding Temperance Pluns. Mr. Rowell made a convincing state ment with reference to shop licenses, saying he and his followers would make local option county wide, so that any or every county could clean up by a majority vote any of these stray shop lisenses that might con: tinue. "Some say," proceeded Mr. Rowell, "why don't you go farther ? why don't you wipe out. shops at once ? While one conservative iriend says that Mr. Hanna and all his col leagues in the government go round the country and say that themselves go as fast as public opinion would justify them in going" And yet,while all these leaders are proclaiming that gospel from one end of the country to to the other, you criticize me, when | have gone many times abead of them, for not going farther. There are meu in this province who are opposed to the continuance of the open ba: There are men in the Church of Eny- land in Canada opposed to the con tinuance of the open bar, as evidenced by resolution, who would not support total prohibition. I'here are men mn 'other churches, who share that view. There are men outside the churches who share that view. We might not agree with them. All I say to such men is, if you agree with me that the bar is a curse, and you will go with me to the ballot box and help me to wipe these' two out, I will go with you just as far as you will go, aud we will secure that, being to igh I'hen, having dome that, we Ve got a clear, fair field, and we 'will tackle the remainder as the cir- cumstances might require and the {needs of the situation demand." Mr. Rowell "further asserted thai, having aroused local option county wide and municipal voting to marricd women, it did not lie in the mouth of any man, when he had gone as far as he had been asked to go by the or: anized temperance forces, to say that did not merit the support of tem: perance med in every riding. ---- Where There is No Barroom.

The Christian Guardian, the organ of the Methodist Church of Canada, makes another strong appeal to tem- perance men to vote for the abolitl- on of the bar, It says: In the present Ontarfo election there can be no legitimate doubt as to which way the liquor trade will vote. It is generally recognized, we think, that the liquor trade will vote solidly against Mr. Rowell. There may be a few exceptions, al- though we confess we have heard of none, but we are reasonably certain, unless all signs fail, that Mr Row- ell will get few liquor votes. The Toronto World declares that "Mr. Rowell loses at least as many liberal votes over this issue as he gains conservative," and probably most politicians will agree with this statement, and some liberals are joining with conservatives in declar- ing that Mr. Rowell has made a mis- take. But if there is any mistake the churches, and not Mr. Rowell, have made it. We long ago voted out the bar, so far as great temperance gatherings and sirong resolutions from all kinds of church assemblies could do it, and the question is whether, now when our votes will count, we are prepared to say at the polls what we have been saying for years in our churches and prayers. The chief issue in this campaign is not the hydro-electric, not wark- men's compensation, nor the de- velopment of New Ontario: ngither is it Sir James Whitney mor Mr. Rowell: it is simply the issue to which the temperance forces in On- tario committed themselves years ago----the abolition of the bar. It is useless, worse than useless, to ar- gue that the shops will still be left, for we know and the lquor men know, that the vote which puts out the bar will not long aWbw the shops to remain We can afford possibly to forget parties and to forget men, hut we cannot afford to forget this one supreme issue," and if any temper- ance voter is in doubt as to his duty we would suggest that he ask himself on which side of the bar- room and its babitues, and the whole Manor trade in general, are ranging themselves. Wa venture to say that it is not on the side of the abolition of the bar. Can we afford to vote on the same side as the dis tillers, the brewers. and the liquor sellers? We do not think we can Mr. Rowell, in adopting the policy of the aholition of the. bar, and risking his political life unonh<4t has followed not only the dictates. of conscience but what he has consid- ered to he almost unanimous senti- ment of the advocates of temperance in this province. He: thas done his duty in an open and manly wav; the extent to which the church and temperance forces of the pro- vince will rally to his support re mains to be seen. The Crisis in Hamilton. Hamilton Herald It would be little short of disas- trous to the liquor traffic in Hamil- ton if organized labour were to turn against it.. And there is mo small probability that this will happen.

The Suicide Club. London Advertiser. The bar-room is sometimes defended as the poor man's club. For that matter, Mr. Rowell is out against the bar in clubs, both rich and poor. He will have that Ontario club straight- ened up like all others when he gets the power. It is not the leader of the opposition, but the leader of- the {government, the man in power, that is responsible for the bar of the On- tario and other clubs.
