What was the issue in Toronto where, in thé south west division, an election occurred on Monday? Mr. Dewart being 'the member-elect it [follows that what he advocatéd rep- resented the views of the People. He did not champion prohibition. He did not oppose it. He let it be gen- erally understood that it was in ag- vance of the times, and that a great change in public sentiment would have to take place before the people were ready for this drastic measure. He certainly gig not want to see it enforced until the People had voted upon it, and it alone. Meanwhile he left it severely alone. Had the electors been swa the temperance legislation, bromise of it, they would have sup- ported Mr. Connor, who was a labour Tepregsentative and a Drohibitionist, and as such he bad the Star's assist- ance. Or, if opposed to prohibition, they would bave given Mr. Waldron their votes, and he came out as the emphatic opponent of the measure. Had they heen in the middle-of-the- road, or what used to be termed a mugwamps, they could have given Mr. Norris the lift he needed in amending the prohibition law, and i providing for the abolition of spirit- ous liquors as beverages, and allow- ing the sale of beer and wine. yed by or the ___Disavowing all these specious} the pleas the people seem to Nickel trust.'

"Oh for the touch of a vanished hand, and the sound of a voice that is still." Such is the wail that re- sounds throughout the parliament buildings in Toronto to-day: A WIN FOR SIR ADAM. Sir Adam Beck is probably one of the happiest men in Ontario to-day. His troubles began with the death of Sir James Whitney, He was, next to Sir James, the most pcpular man in his party, and the members of the government realized this when they came to select a successor to Sir James. The fact that Sir Adam had the Union of Municipalities behind him, that he was the man of power in more senses than ome, made him the envy of Ferguson and McGarry, and they hastened, having disposed of him as a candidate for the pre miership, to humiliate him otherwise, The acts of the last session by the legislature will be remembered. The Seymour power plants were acquired by the government,independent of the commission, and as a government enterprise, The control of the com- mission, and of its<appointed work, was limited. A controller was chosen to see that the commission's finances were properly administered. An end for the time being wa$ put to the radial railway scheme of West- ern Ontario. All the plans were laid to crush Sir Adam Beck. The chairman of the Hydro-Elec- tric Commission suffered long and patiently. He bided his time. In this respect he has done well, He has lived to see the McGarry-Fergu- son-Lucas faction thoroughly scored. They have backed down before public opinion. They have professed the greatest friendship for Sir Adam and his schemes, They have repudiated the idea that they desired to rob the people of their ownership of the power privileges for which they have paid. They claim that the govern- ment, by order-in-couneil, provided for the radials "right of way," though the Union of Municipalities has not yet heard about it. They climbed down, during the recent bye-election, from their high horses, and wanted it to be known that they and Sir Adam Beck were ini perfect accord. Mr. Dewart's challenge, however, went unanswered. "Let Sir Adam," said he in effect, "appear upon any platform and repeat the assurances of his presumed masters, and I will retire from the contest." Sir Adam did not appear, and Sir Adam has been vindicated by the election of the 'Liberal candidate. : EDITORIAL NOTES. . The Hearst government is waking up. It has lost the fid of the people.

Canada should not put khaki cov- erings on the civilian hides of every salaried appointee who is called to the discharge of lucrative and com- fortable duties in connection with the registration of this country's reeruit- able population. If public money is to be spent in salaries every salary should ga to a wounded soldier. Canada's first contingent and other contingents at- tracted many of the ablest men in this country. The high ability of the Canadian army is represented by returned survivors of service at the front, not sinecures at the rear. These men are just as competent to administer a system of national registration as lawyers and other civilians who have never risked their lives on active service, It will be time enough "to put khaki clothes on civilians and to put more civilians on this country's pay roll when there are not enough wounded or returned survivors of battle to go around the supply of Jobs that are to be created in con- nection with the registration scheme.

Since that time the long arm of the law has been after the murderers. A North-West Mounted Police patrol, headed by Inspector Lanause, set out in pursuit and word has been received by way of Nome, Alacka, that they have succeeded in appre- hendng the two Eskimos guilty of the crime. They are now at Her- schell Island, and will be brought out to one of the western cities for trial.
