By the way! the president of the Toronto license holders recently - intimated that 'this perdentage, or something like it, was origipally suggested by the liquor men for a fund out of which the men suspended from busi- ness by changes of public policy or public sentiment should be paid. The percentage was appropriated by the Goverpmeént, but not applied as it was expected. The men who are now bowled out of business put a large part of the sum they have in- vested in equipment. ' This equip- ment is pot salable, sometimes, be- cause the fewer the bars the less the demand for it. The Government wanted the revenue from the bars for general purposes, but in taking the allowance the liquor men were willing to pay for a certain purpose, which they themselves suggested, a great hardship has been imposed upon some people. THE CALLS FOR AID. The men at the front, upon the battle line and in the trenches, suf- fering from Brivations and from in- 'juries, demasid the first considera- tion. All that is being done for the Red Cross Soelety and the Patriotic Fund must be appreciated, and the labor of love must he continued un- til the end of the chapter. The con-' tributions of comforts and medical supplies nrust, like the munitions, be inexhaustible, . Any relaxation: in comforts for the relief of our soldiers would be a~most unfortunate and re grettable thing. Sir Herbert Ames' visit to the city this week is most timely. The Speakers' League has been most in- strumental in arousing a lively inter- est in the recruiting of units in east- ern Ontario. * It has been successful in stirring up all the activities which are so necessary in order to profifote the czuse in which the people and the \devornment are so deeply inter- ested. .

Itis Ppropos- ed to ask the Council for $5,000 a month for at least a year, and she man to-explain the situation and re- move all misunderstanding that may exist with regard to the fund and its administration last year is Sir Her bert Ames. The meeting which is to be called this week, to ider the new movement, should be addressed by him, and it cannot be it held on Thursddy evening. Sir Herbert will not be in Kingston watil Friday.

The newspapers of the province, | { as they were expected to do, are dis-| | cussing in a most vigorous way, the | proposal of the city of Guelph with | regard to a City Manager. 'Guelph | has 'tired of its present municipal | | system. Its Council has not been | serving it satisfactorily Its five Com- missions have been managing its Utilities successfully, and yet with- out that harmony which is to be ex i pected under the circumstances | The idea, is, therefore, to ask the | Legislature to amend the municipal! | law s0 that Guelph may have a smaller Council and a City Manager, { and it is quite possible that the Leg- | islature may hesitate about this un- less there is support, strong and sustained, from other municipalities in the province. The Whig does not expect this | proposition from the city of Guelph to succeed It realizes that there | must be a certain amount of educa- tion before a scheme which affects the masses can be approved by the | | Legislature. Moreover there must be a very strong and vigorous argu- | ment in favor of the change, and it | must be based upon an experience | which can be quoted with the great- | est confidence There are cities in the United States, and it is understood that| there are. cities in England, which | have managers, and the duty of these managers is to carry out emphaticals! iy and entirely the orders of the Council as they are expressed in re-| It will be in-| | | | | solutions and by-laws. | teresting to have a trial of this new | | system in Canada, and Guelph is| willing to make a demonstration of | it if permitted to do so by the Legis- lature. | The Toronto World has contested the idea on the ground that a City Manager is not suitable for a large city. The World says that a Cily Manager will do for a gity of 10,000! or 20,000, but "it is quite impossible! for one man to carry the burden of half a million." Why not? A eity government is after all, or should be, very like the government of a great industry which represents interests quite as large as those of the city of Toronto. The highly developed and complete organization of a .great Steel Works, for instance, is quite as complex as that of a municipality, and yet there can be at the head of a great corporation a man who is in complete touth with every depart- ment and bring the whole thing into perfect harmony. There is surely no reason why a large city, even To- ronto, cannot be served with the ut- most success by a City Manager, il he has the power he ought to possess and is allowed to enforce his rules for efficiency without regard to the petty combinations against which the Board of Control has to contend. A City Mabager, tb be a success, must be an experienced man, an able man, an independent man. He could not rule very long in Toronte with- out interference, and it is a question if he could rule in any city without t. The manufacturers of Toronto are mostly interested in technical educa~ tion, and are paying largely for it. This is very much to their credit. A visitor from the United States to the Government offices in England says that Lloyd-George's is the most accessible and the most efficient in its. administration. It resembled more than any place else the large business houses of Americia. The office is evidently very like the man who directs its affairs, A Kingstonian now located in London, and in one of the military offices, says the Zeppelins Sopot bombs close to him, and that they a lot of damage, much more than any one has a thought of.

Once upon a time Tip, the tinniest of the Gnomes, was sitting on a stone walk when hé felt a touch on his shoulder and heard a voice say: "Well, well, Tip, I wish I had your job of nothing to do." Tip looked up and saw his old friend Jack Frost close beside him. Jack had been away all of the summer working on the icebergs in the far north, so Tip was very glad to see his friend and asked if he could help him with his work, as he had the year before, "Yes indeed, you can help me if you wish," said' Jack Frost, *1 am way behind in my work this year." You know the Gnomes can dig but no one has ever seen them at work, but when you see a big stone in the middle of a brook so the children can cross without danger or the ler ves all piled up in the fall, you can know the Gnomes have been at work. The "Next day Tip was ready for work and he and Jack Frost started out early in the morning and worked hard all day and far into the night, 80 that when the children woke the next day everything was already for them to have a nice time in the wood amma, hunting for ghestnuts and bright red leaves. Tip had shaken many of the trees so that the ground would be covered with chestnuts burrs and the children would: not have to climb the trees. Now Mr. Squirrel had been wateh- ing the children 'and when he saw their baskets filled with lucious nuts it was more than he could stand, so he hopped down and began to fill his paws with the chestnuts. Mrs. Squir- rel ran down to help and all the lit- tle squirrels and in a little while all the nuts were in the squirrels home, while the childréfi were off gathering leaves. When "they children cante back to get their Huts and found them all gone they Were very much surprised and didn't know what hal become of them, until all at once, they saw Mr. Squirrel stick his head out of a hole in a tree and, as he had a nut in his teeth, they knew pretty well what had become of their nuts. The Gnome when he saw what trouble the children were in shook some more trees and soon the chil- dren had plenty more nuts to fill their baskets, but you may be sure, they did not leave them unguarded again.
