Northrup, Manager Chicago ra nager { | A VERY CANDID CRITICISM, | The: Hanna proposals are weak and | dangerous im their attempted sub- | stitution of commission authority for popular control of the license admin- istration. The old country board of licenving justices is idealized in | Hon. W. J Hanna's of its perfgetions. Squires and local mag- nates constitute these old country au- thorities. The membership of these bodies = is divided between men dencunced as | "teetolal cranks" and "'pro-liquor vealots."" The board of licensing jus- | tices is acoused of deciding every | question according to the sympathies | of the moderate justices or the pre- judices the teetotal justices, or the interests of the brewers. Hon. | ¥. J. Hanna is working on the lines | of a poor motlel when he tries to fasten any intimation of old coun: try agencies for dealing with the liquor traffic on the license system of Ontario. A commission' irresponsible to pub- lic opinion will not keep the liquor jssue out of polities, and will prove the ruin of the -tiovernment which creates such. a commission. Hon. W, J. Hanna must improve the present | Pattern of an authority that is to | exercise a centralized control of the liquor traflio. Contralized control is desirable, Such a commission as Hom. W. J.

The Education Department has eased = the way of thoss who desire to pro. vide for the poor childres of our cities. It has authorized, ' in - an amendment to the School Act. Boards of Education to supply meals, medi- eal and dental' service, to pupils who cannot afford to pay for them, A step in the right direction, and taken in time.

According 10 the information which has been laid before Parlia- ment, in a special return, the stamp- ing out of hog-cholera in Frontenac last year cost the country $4,856.61. The plague was caused, in the esti- mation of the Department of Agricul ture, by the feeding of garbage to the pigs. This feeding must stop. The Government may mot be able to enforce its ideas with the. aid of law, but it can make its influence felt by refusing to compensate any farmer who tempts the cholera by the use of garbage! When a man realizes that he cannot feed what he likes to pigs, or that feeding it he cannot claim compensation when he 1s a loser by it, he will become obedient to cur- The Goyernment has ly should it be warned of a new out- break, but the danger of disease may avoided by legislation; and to the ing of garbage hogs under | any circumstances.

Members of this chamber are expected to pro- issues in a calm, courteous, and spectful way, Yet at times, itement, members ically, fall on each -other hurtful language. The Minister of Militia like baiting, and he had to endure some of it when his estimates were under review. During the Valcartier re- under exe and use does not |eamp the major-general had occasion | to criticize a regiment that had fail- jed to materialize, and its officers are | duction, by admonishing each hen to said to have been "cowards: and { wire-pullers, while Nova Scotia, from which they hailed, was '"'a two by | {four provinces any way." | The Minister of Militia denied that | he used "the strong language ferred to," 'and it re- would have been | with not | Mr. | He said that the men of | did not refuse to go that.

Peace was restored as the Minister of Militia explained that the War Office regulated the movements of the troops as it saw best, and that he had no- thing to do with these details. But what a pity it is that the minister cannot keep cool ! 3 ~ EDITORIAL NOTES.
