The place of the 14th P. W. O. Rifles in the community has been emphasized by a recent public meet- ing. The regiment wants recruits, many of them, to take the places of those who have gone to the front, there to prove worthy of their call to the colors. The 14th P. W. O. Rifles is not only a useful local organiza- tion, for military purposes, but af- fords an assurance of a defence when it is required It gives to the mem- bers the military training that is es- sential in these times. The outcome of the war is by no means certain. The city has not done all the recruit- ing that will be required of it. The Government may fail in its duty for the time being. It may discourage ih place of encourage the mustering and enrolling that should be going on. The fact remains that the local regiment needs to be built uj membership, and without delay. meeting at the Armouries will.not without results. . It has made cles a duty that devolves upon every citi zen, and one that will become i} plainer as the weeks go by.

Sir Adam Beck admits that he made promises that he could not keep in Kingston. The fault the city finds is that he advised it to wait for another ten years for Hydro pow- er. Which is certainly impossible. Germian is still being taught in the high schools because it is part of the prescribed course. In Bran- "for some years there will be no use for it." Why should Ontario lag behind in its decisions? The invasion of Ontdrio by French- Canadian agitators, with grievances over the bilingual question, is to be regretted.

CAN'T WAIT TEN YEARS, Sir Adam Beck has been quite can- fid in his admissiogs upon the power question. One can understand the influences that are at work in New York State, political and commercial, . and operating against the importa- tion of power from Waddington Falls. The. power is there, appar. ently, to an extent far in excess of the uses that can be made of it for mafy a year, but the control is the 'more complete the less of it that is sent into Canada and under contract. The Whig is not familiar with the facts so far as they affect the Gov- arnment, and one is a little surprised that Sir Adam finds the administra- tion at Ottawa not only unsympa- thetic with, but actually unfriendly towards, his schémes, He would be glad if the municipalities or the local Commission joined him in pressing wes upon the Government the power in- » terests of Ontario . The inference follows that if Sir Adam cannot im- press the Borden Government, with all his prestige, it will hardly be worth the while of our Council or Commission, or both, to add their "The special feature of Sir Adam's interview is the declaration that Hy- dro-Electriec Commission conditions were forced upon Kingston without Hydro-Electric. power, In this re- Spect he confirms the conclusions of the Whig of late, that the Hydro- Electric Commission, knowing all the circumstances, did a 'very great wrong in practically imposing its sys- tem of rates upon our Commission. The sooner it is repealed the soon-| er will the present pass away. Sir Adam can hardly complain, either, if the local Commis- sion should see the propriety of look- ing away from the Hydro-Eleetric Commission for a power supply, and not waiting for one year, much less Seymour or any other company or in- 'dividual that can supply power and help the city out of its dilemma. MR. McCLELLAND'S HEALTH, The Works' Committee has decid- ed to retire the Engineer or remove him from dune position to another for the good of his health. The rate payers, who know when they have a faithful and useful oficial, ave in clined to criticise the Committee & great deal more than the Enginesr An official who . knows his duty, Who has some idea of the manner in dissatisfaction t The Public School children are be- ing organized for patriotic purposes They will have their League with branches in = all the schools, and a contribution next week for the Red Cross Fund. They whi] make up for lost time, and the lessons of Trafalgar Day will not be forgottep. The Federal Goverhment will not remove the duty on grain, which has been asked by the western farmers, and the products of the farm in Win- nipeg will be sold for several cents a bushel lower than in Minneapolis. This will hardly make the Federal Government more popular with the western producers. --------n The Toronto News is wearying in attempts to praise Sir Wilfrid Laur- fer and at the same time to do him harm with ks poison dope. The heat was mot the cnly thing from which Sir WiMrid suffered in Nap- anee. He suffered from an ulcer- ated jaw, and an operation had to be performed afterwards in Ottawa, fol- lowed by an illness from which he has not yet recovered. The News shoud be more precise than political in its references to the leader of the opposition. | KINGSTON EVENTS | 25 YEARS ACO . B. W.

Sleepytime Tales RICHARD AND DICK. Once upon a time a little boy nam- ed Richard had a yellow and white dog named Dick, Every day after school Dick and his little master would play in the yard back of Rich- ard's house. One day just about this time of year, when the leaves | were all over the ground, Richard | told Dick he was going to play hide- and-go-seek with him. "Woot," said Dick, which meant that he didn't understand how to play it but he would try. "Now you stay here," said Richard, and he put Dick in the woodshed and ran out, Before the dog could follow Richard had ig $i i 3 crawled under a pile of leaves. The dog bounded across the yard, but ! not seeing his master, stopped short and bekanto bark madly 1 "Here Dick," cried Richard from | under fhe leaves, and when the dog heard him but couldn't see him, hei barked and whined louder than ever. At Iast he saw the leaves move and, there he found Richard all curled up! under them. | After that Dick knew how to play | hide-and-seek and he would rum; around .and bark and hunt until he found where Richard was hidden. | To-morrow I will tell vou how] Richard taught Dick to hide so that] Richard would have to hunt for him | "Low Cost of Living" Menu | Menu for Saturday BREAKFAST Plunenpple Omelet Toast Coffee LUNCHEON Curried Eggs with Peas Toasted Crackers Tarts Tea DINNER Veal Cutlets Creamed Potatoes Fried Carrots.
