Qfiebec's population sets the pace in provincial affairs, in subsidies and in parliamentary representation. In recruiting It is woefully disappoint "ing, as will be seen by the following comparison: In British Columbia it is 1 to 26; Manitoba, 1 to 54; Ontario, 1 to 46; Maritime Provinces, 1 to 63; and Quebec, 1 to 123. Nationalism is bearing its legitimate fruit. It preached so long against Quebec's participation in Britain's wars that people fail to do their duty even when the interests of France as well as the Mother Country are in peril. ce Northrup, AWARD OF CONTRACTS. The situation so far as tendering on public school contracts in Toron- to by Roman Catholics is concerned was misunderstood by the Whig's reading of the matter. Tenders were asked for by public notice, but & Roman Catholic's lowest offer was declined by the board. . As regards Protestants not being allowed to ten- fer for the work on a Catholie school we are informed that in Kingston quite a few awards have been made . to them both for buildings and for repairs. We are glad to know that this is the case, for it is as it should be everywhere and amongst' all classes. AN OFFICIAL SUSTAINED, The City Council is to be com~ ménded for its rejection of the Board, of Works' report with regard.te its Engineer. The majority refused the proposal to make changes 'in his office which neither the times nor the circumstnces justified. The method of procedure was most ir- regular. The Engineer was asked to accept conditions which had not been refer- red to the Council, and which, it is now apparent, the Council would not have approved. The Engineer was | not given any reasons for the scheme of the Board: it was hatched out in a secret meeting, and the occasion of it the members of the Committee would not dr could not discuss. Mr. McClelland could not bé expected to submis to that kind of treatment. The .result was an appeal to the Council; and, by a good majority, a decision was reached which will not be forgotten. a : Probably the Board of Works will profit by the experience, Its énibers may see the wisdom of letting the Engineer run his office according to his judgment. It will surely supply him with the capable and teghnical help which he needs at certain times, It ought to be able to conduct the public business without the secret sessions which have unhappily pre- -ceded its fall from grace. ANOTHER FINANCIAL STRAIN The Canadian Patriotic Fund is making a second appeal to the peo- ple all over Canada, and one which it will be hard or impossible for them to withstand. The Central Fund at Ottawa is not yet exhausted. There is a balance of over $2,000,000, but the desire is to retain it for relief purposes when the War is over and the position of the beneficiaries will be' more or less unsettled. Of Kingston's contribution to the Fund there is a balance of $15,000, The larger part of it is not due until _ next year, and the plan is to appeal to the subscribers and induce them, if possible, to pay before the end of this year. In this way current de- mands will be met and before fur- ther support has been obtainéd. What will take place after the pres- ant contribution has been used is a matter of serious consideration.

Then it told about the many whité eggs that were in the shop but said they were, too, a different kind from those in the bas-! ket. One large egg, that lay very quiet- ly in the corner, began to laugh and rolled over until it was right beside the brown egg. "I don't believea word you say," said the large egg.! "You are just a bad egg and that] is why you look different." At that the large egg rolled so hard against and their feed and care are a contin- | their way from the barn and each ual expense. The contrast in cost should 'be easily made and with ef- fects that should be apparent to any one, PROFITS IN WAR TIME The manufacturer or employer of labor who increases profits during war time should regard 'himself as disgrated. The first obligation of the manufacturer, so long as he can maintain his business in a condition of solvency, is to his workmen. One would think that he could net hold up his head if he increased his fits by discharging employees. So the manufacturer of munitions should require only a d egg had a different wish as to where they would go when taken from the basket. One day the little girl brought two eggs and laid them both in the basket. One was just like all 'the rest but the other sa very dark brown color, and had white streaks all over it. The other eggs had never seen one just like that be- fore and they asked the brown egg why it was that color and where it came from, The brown egg-said it didn't know why it was brown, but was sure it was very much nicer than the others fos it had come from a bake shop. The children, it said, often came into the shop to get eggs and liked the | fit. . If in competition with rivals he {s able to manufacture at lower prices he should give more generously to patriotic objects.

Men must not make money out of "their coun- fry's misfortune? Surely not. In Britain the munition factories are practically government institutions, and in the operation of them allow. ance is made for an ordinary profit, or for an ordinary return of interest upon the invested capital. .Of the earnings the Government appropri- ates its share, about a half. Canada may be forced, in order to meet the financial claims upon _ its Govern- ment, to imitate the Mother Country and adopt new methods of raising revenue. It has been suggested that a poll tax be put upon every healthy male who can go to the defence of his country and does not. The idea is to make him do his bit or pay for it. The idea, further, is to have a 'gen- eral survey made of the field by the Government, and a special tax levied on_all who have enjoyed large con- tracts for war supplies and made large profits from them. Of the many millions of money that have been spent in Canada by the Imperia) Government a few millions at least should be devoted to the costs of war. It is hardly likely, however, that the cash will be given volun tarily, and as a kind of national tri- bute. form of taxation. He is a rare indi- vidual who will see the force of the Toronto News' argument and regard it as a disgrace to collect and hoard the profits he has made out of th War.
