The Board of Commerce is now in= vestigating complaints and fighting high prices in Torontg. When Is Kingston going to be favored with a vigit from the board ? Two weeks ago we were rejoiced tn hear that the price of pork had gone down considerably in Chicago, hoping that it would bring down the price - ere.

It is not likely that opponents of capital punishment will think any more favorably of the proposal to Agve electrocution substituted for hanging. To them the one is just as ..bad"as the other.

Yet it is wise legislation, for the public safety should not be endangered by strikes on the part of public officials. According to the Agricultural Ga- gette, the official organ of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, the Canadian wheat crop this year will be 252,205,- 000 bushels, as compared WITH 180 - 075,000 last year. They why do we -hear so many complaints about a shortage in the grain crop? 3 ~The Chicago "health authorities fave stopped a marriage because the prospective bridegroom was a man * {n an advanced Etate of tutberculosis.

Present McKia- { American id goad for Kings {the Whig will sfart the ation of 4a series of intensely ng [historic articles pen Sims, Commander of the in the "late war | From the fact that Admiral Sims was {born and received his early educa- [tion in Port Hope, Ontario, Canad- Ifans will find a great interest in his narréitive. He not ofly extols the work of the American navy, but he acknowledges the still greater per- formance of British. sea power. The public may not be aware that | the Americans constructed and trans- ported to the front lines in France| naval guns, capable of throwing en- | ormous projectiles a distance of thir- ty miles, These were under Admiral pul interest the and from | Admiral Navy stroyers-in the Irish Sea, and he tells about them in his narrative. ! Besides describing these. war-like | performances, the admiral will tell the story of British-American operation, perhaps the most completa illustration in history--of harmon- tous action between two great allies. The greatest figures in contémporan< eous history--King George, Jellicoe, Lloyd-George, Lord Robert Cecil Beatty, Asquith, Balfour--will fig- ure in its pages, which will give a lasting picture of the English-speak- ing races, working side by side with | the utmost harmeny and determinas| tion, against the powers which were | attempting to destroy them, and to] supplant their civilizing influences by | the forces of barbarism and savagery. | It ie a moving story that Admiral] Sims relates. His revelations of con-| ditions in the dark days, when the | submarine menace was threatening | to starve out Great Britain, form a! fascinating story. The Whig has se-| cured this special feature at great ex-| pense. The first installation will ap- pear on Saturday, Sept. 20th, and re- gularly each week thereafter. THE PEACE TREATY RATIFIED. The Parliament of Canada has wasted very little time in ratifying the Peace Treaty between Germany and the Allies, The senate last week disposed of it at one sitting, setting a commendable example of speed to the senate across the border; passed unanimously by the House of | Commons. The opposition contented | themselves with 'trying to point out! that it hardly seemed necessary for the Canadian parliament to ratify the treaty, but when it came to the end of the debate, they aid not offer any | objection to its being done. Several ] notable Speeches on the debate were | heard, most of them centering around | the famous article 10, which has been the storm centre of the discussion in the United States. Tha attitude of! Canada in regard to this article was admirably summed up in the speech made by Peter McGibbon, the mem- ber for Muskok#, who sald in cone eluding a splendid effort: "1 would ask this House and this has not some duty to perform for the benefit of the world and for human- ity. We have passed through a dank | night filled with trouble, tears and death, and we on this side of the House think that Canada shotld now stép out on the platform with the ather nations of the world and do her part in careving to those aations less 3 of | * Sims' command, just as were the de-| co: and on Thursday .night, after less! than a week of consideration, it was] country to consider whether Canada! sistently adopted a niggardly policy, : | compare.
