(London Advertiser) There is a wide gulf in these days between the high ideas that the pab- lic set for the profession of the school teacher and the actual value that they place upon those ideals as measured by teachers' salaries. In a time when the whole of the industrial class is moving forward by leaps and bounds in the matter of increased reward | for its labor, the teachers, in common with one or two other professions, : notably the ministry, have gained so Hitle that they have became a br- word for meager income and straiten- i od conditions of Mfe.

Britain's Financial Position. (New York Evening Sun) Great Britain is still solvent. Cer- tainly her financial position is fe worse than it was at the close of the Napoleonic wars. There is no ocoa- sion for panic. John Bull's vitality is too great, his financial resources still too extensive to admit or fear or faltering Let him work and save and all will be well. A Short-Lived Alliance. (Ottawa Journal) No government based upon an al- Hance between Labor and the farm- ers will likely last long, but dt will likely last long enough in Ontario 0 reveal to both Labor and the U. F.

Ontario needs the Hydro and the Hydro needs Sir Adam Beck. And the Province is of one accord in insist- ing that Beck should be allowed to 'finish his work. i The coal strike In the United Sta- tes is not likely to last very long. Latest reports are to the effect that thousands of miners have disregard- od the strike order. The longshoremen's strike in New York is holding up sugar cargoes, and as a consequence the nation may be placed on sugar rations. Canadian supplies are also affected. Government supporters in the Se. nate are not unanimous in respect to the Grand Trunk bill. Stiff opposi- | is looked for, and the bill may meet its Waterloo in the second chamber. A Tady correspondent of the Whig wants to know why dairy school but- ter costs more than creamery butter. It is a pertinent question. The gov- ernment should mot take the lead in advancing prices, The Presbyterian Synod of Toron- to and Kingston have sent on to the Gederal Assembly a proposal to form a co-operative insurance society for 'ministers and their dependents.

Drury, a prominent farmer residing near Barrie and the son of Ontario's first Minister of agriculture. By heredity, experience and interest the new lead- der is well qualified for the Trespon- sible position to which he has been called. For many .years he has taken an active interest in-all movements tending to promote agricultural in- terests, and on the platform and in the public press he has valiantly es poused the aims and objects of the farmers. According to the Hamilton Herald, he has until recently been re- garded as a Liberal of the old school, with free trade as his economiccreed, Two years ago, however, he showed that he had the independence to break with his leader on a question of principle, and took his stand in favor of conscription. In his view tariff protection is a special privilege favoring a particular class and should therefore be swept away. He admits that at present the dominating group in the new legislature represents the farming community In a particular sense. "But", he declares, "in a very real sense we represent not alone the forty per cent. of the people who are on the farms, dut also the great bulk of the common pecple of all classes, the people who are desirous of good government, of stability, efficlency and economy, and of the fair and equal enforcement of law. Our suc- cess, therefore; depends mot on poli- tical but on 'the service which have made this movement a vital thing in the life of the nation. May we mot hope that before long this movement. which has had its Pand and broaden till it shall become ideals, but it 4s the best system in | sight as yet, and the safest Union Leaders Give Thought. (Christian Science Monitor) i The decision reached by some of | the British trade unions to withdraw | thelr reguestion for a shorter week | than 47 hours, until an opportunit had been given to examine' the re sults of this innovation, is of greater {significance than appears on the sur- | face. It shows that the union Mad- | ers are beginning to realize that | there is something larger than per- | sonal interest. It shows also that! the leaders have not quite forgotten | that the real basis of the reduction of working hours is greater effici- ency. Then Labor as a whole sees that #t is just as far from reaching a | sessions mation issued in the Oity of Toronto, the first 'public market in Upper Can- ada was estabFshed. To-day wlmosl every small town has one or two days each week whem the produce of ithe locality is brought in from the country and offered for sale, either to | the local resilants or to representa- tives of the big produce companies operating through the large cities. The estabMshment of the one in Teronto in 1803 marked the rapid development of the new colonies in Upper Canada The populstion of the capital of the district was Erow- | ing larger each year and, in spite of the fact that fand was cheap, plenti- ful and fertile, there was a constant increase in the number of persons whose food must be grown by others. The market was a small affair, located in the docality of the Don River, but it was the nucleus of the big present day industry It was a Bay day in Toronto when the citizens | flocked to the market ft buy their wetkly supply of vegetables, butter and eggs or whatever they required. It was quite the rage in that town then, and wich and poor, all types! i and conditions of residents gathered there with their from the few hardy settlers of the county round about what they requir- ed. As time passed and there be- came glearer distinctions in classes in the mew place fewer wealthy resorted to the placeiof pub- lic purchase, but the others continu- ed to come. Strange things were of- fered at auttion at that time, not the least of which were slaves, for in the pioneer days there were a few color- ed people owned #a the British pos- | now the Do- | in what is minion cf Canada.
