Inspector Black of -the Children's Aid Society, has been instrumental in relieving the city of the maintenance of another ward, who belongs to an- other municipality, but who had been deserted in the city. . This is the case of an infant whom the mother brought to the police sta- tion here on January 29th last. The child was then but two days old, one of the worst storms of the winter was in progress, and the city com sented to put the baby in the infants' home. The mother then disappear- ed. The inspector has been searching for her during the five months since, and on June 27th Jocated her in a nearby town. She has agreed to pay the cost of the investigation and the mainten- ance to date, a matter of some $67; and the child, while still a ward of the local C.A.S., has been made chargeable o\Louds and Grenville, Mlle Suzanne Leiiglen, world's wo- man tennis champion defeated Miss Elizabeth Ryan, former Californian, in the women's singles of the Wimb- ledon, England, tournament on Monday.

Under the above caption Toronto Saturday Night informs its readers that a sensitive Briton writés to the protesting against Liberals referring to Conservatives as "Tories." The terms "Whig" and "Tory," he declares, have long been devoid of significance, as "'a Tory is, Or was, an Irish outlaw or robber; a Whig, a sour-faced Covenanter." "Modern Conservatives, he points out, no longer call their Liberal op- ponents "Whigs," and he trusts that the latter will return the courtesy. But to the disinterested observer, it appears paradoxical that the Conger- vatives, of all people, should suffer these fine old words to disappear from the political dictionary, says the New York Herald-Tribune, 'However sinister their origin, time has imparted to them a sentimental fiavor that is entirely lacking in pre- sent-day party names. Here is a task for Mr. G. K. Chesterton, that assi- duous collector of the romantic anti- quities of England. Indeed, only re- cently he referred rather wistfully to the period, "two generations after Milton, when the last of the true Tories drank wine with Bolinghroke or tea with Johnson." . Even granting that the trae Tory line is at an end, the same cannot be said of its historic opposition, if Dr. Johnson spoke the truth whep he as- serted that the devil was tho first Whig, unless, of course, both Lib-| eral and Comservative beliovers in the traditional two-party system as- sume that the personage in question bas deserted to the standard of Mr. Ramsay MacDonald. In his admirable book, "The Ad- venture of Living,"" John St. Loe Strachey, editor of the London Spec- tator; paid the following tribute to Whig principles: I may class myself as being thricc- blessed in being brought up ia Whig ideas, in a Whig family wiih Whig Named They sind Who made for a newborn nation The sacrifice sublime, They sing Unchangi as the tide, To the land of pine and maple To Canadatheir pride. of men and women in the Book of Time, of theirown devotion W.Bauny PARTY SOBRIQUETS. intellectual and political, that have been thrown at them, salvation is of the Whigs. When I speak thus of "the Whigs," hte 1 "course "mean the Whigglsm of the "Whig 'aristo- cracy as represented by modern Tory historians, or by the parasitic syco- phants of a militant proletariat. 1 mean true Whig principles--the principles of Halifax, of Somers, of Locke, of Addison. and)of Steele-- the principles of the Bill of Rights and of "the glorious revolution of 1688;"--the Whiggisin which had its origin in the party of Cromwell and of the Independents, of John Milton and of Richard Baxter, the party which even in its decadence flowered in England in Chatham and William Pitt, and in America in Washington, John Adams and the founders of the Republic. Whig principles to me mean that the will of the majority of the nation as a whole must prevail, and not the will of any section, even it it 1s a large section and does manual work. These are the prin- ciples which are fn deadly opposition to Jacobism and Bolshevism. Under Jacobism and Bolshevism, as their Inventors proclaim, true policy must be made to prevail by iorce, or fraud if necessary. Privilege is claimed for the minority, Oligarchy, and a very militant form of oligarchy, thus takes the place of true democracy. But though the will of the people, be it what it may, mugt prevail, the Whig claims absolute liberty in ali matters of personal opinion and of conscience, and advocates the great- est amount of liberty procurable in soclal action. He will not sanction direct action in order to secure even these things, but he claims the right of free speech in order to convert the majority, when it needs converting, to his views, and will not rest ull ha obtains it, - ; The revolution of 1688-89, above referred to, was an epoch-marking period in British History.

In regard to the latter Mr. ruthers said: B14 ay the grain expogt. "The outlook in : gether en the Whigs of that day, it introduced reforms that have had far-reaching influence. Viscount Bryce, in his book, 'Demberactes," says: "In England there are three marked stages in the advance from the old feudal monarchy, as it stood at the accessiofi of the Tudor kings, to popular government. The first is { marked by the struggle which began bétween king and parliament under Charles I. and ended with the Revo- lution Settlement of 1688-89." Later on in the same volume Bryce states: "The chief motive force behind the Whig leaders was the sense among the whole people that there. were grave -evils---which could be cured only by a more truly representative House 'of Commons. But there was also a feeling, stronger than had been discernible since the possessed by the landowning class and by the rich in general belonged of right to the bulk of the nation." Thus is it shown that the term "Whig," instead of being devoid of significance. The early Whigs wore the champions of democracy at a time when their chuse 'was not alto- popular. They were the fathers of the House of Commons a3 we have it in England and in Can- ada. The long and upward struggle of the people against the powerful forces of aristocracy found in the Whigs a Jdeadership and a stimilus that "made the world safe for de- mocracy." : It is a far cry from that day to this, yet the meaning and the sig- nificance of the term "Whig" has not altogether lost its 'potency, This newspaper, which has for 'nearly 4 century borne the name of the "Brit- ish Whig," can teke a measure of just pride in the democracy cham. plonied by the first Whig party, and in 'the granting to the common peo- ple rights and privileges of whici they had hitherto been deprived. : is practically demoralized, due to for- Both here and in New York the trade is tragtically demoralized, due to for- ign competition and the fact that ible to obtain ny n hy Premier Hefriot's Plan Paris, June 30.--The decision of thé Herriot government to abolish all differences between . the treat- ment of Alsace-Lorraf ne and the rest of France has caused conster- seventeenth century, that the power | significance, is fraught with much, his tather, John Koen, Railton; four is 5, Majets, school teacher at .

Superintendent Stroud of the On- tario Government Employment Bu- reau on Monday morning received a telegram which stated that the head tax for men going from Canada to Messena, N.Y., to work, had been raised from eight to eighteen dol- lars. U.8. Consul Johnson later explain- ed to the Whig that this conveyed a mistaken idea. The head tax re- maing at eight dollars for Canadians paying a visit tp the United States. For those going over to take up per- manent residence it is necessary to have the head tax of eight dollars and a consular certificate, which costs tén dollars, bringing the total to 'eighteen.

HALF A CITY WRECKED Property Will Exceed $30.000,000---Death Toll May Be Greater. Lorain, Ohio, June 30.--One hup- dred people are dead, 118 are in- Jured and nearly half of the city of Lorain is in ruins as the result of the tornado that twisted itself over the northern end of Ohio late Sate urday afternoon. Mayor George Hoffman and Ar- thur Garford of Elyria estimated the property damage at $25,000,000 vis- ible and $5,000,000 invisible. About fifteen per cemt. of the city's population of 47,000, or a trifle over 7,000 people, are homeles§ they said. J One hundred and twenty-five' city blocks or about 25 per cent. of the city's residences were damaged, most of them beyond repair. Of all of the business buildings that line Lorain's mile-long main street, Broadway, only two, the post office and a fouf- storey Eagles' Club building, escap- ed without damage. The driving wind ripped and tore everything in its path as it roared down this street, levelling most of the brick buildings at the second floor. Frame structures, filling sta- tions and other small buildings were- entirely demolished and the wreck. age strewn for blocks. The 85 miles an hour wind blew street cars #fm their tracks, turned over and hurled automobiles to the curb, bent and twisted them around telegraph poles like wire; snapped off wooden poles at thé ground and hurled them across the streets and on to build ing roofs. Swept Waterfront. x The storm first struck Sandusky, about 35 miles west, at exactly 4.36 Saturday afternoon. It swept San- dusky's waterfront, killed five peo- ple and injured 70, of whom 23 are . seriously hurt. It put the water works and electric light plant out of commission, thus shutting off the water supply and plunging the city in darkness. The 200 foot building housing the Cedar Point Pler was lifted and hurled nearly 60 feet into Sandusky bay. The yacht club was torn and twisted into a mass of wreckage, seriously injuring City Manager Sadler, : A Cedar Point automobile ferry wag just leaving its pler when the storm struck. The gas boat Colum- bus, towing the barge, was blown against the plier where it sank. Pas- sengers aboard were thrown into the heavy seas, but by the heroic efforts of those ashore were rescued and sent to the Good Samaritan Hogpital where they were later discharged: Fifteen were drowned when an automobile ferry plying between San- dusky and Marbleshead broke from moorings at Sandusky and struck the pier. Popsibly 50 other persons were killed in outlying districts be- tweén Sandusky and Cleveland. It is feared it will be the most serious disaster in Ohio since the Dayton flood of 1913, when upwards of 700 persons lost their lives, The probable death list is , aug- mented by the fear that several steamers may have gone down. Three steamers out of Sandusky are known to have been caught in the storm. Some passengers" were completely swept overboard. Rain Halts The Fire In Booth Timber Limits Madawaska, Ont., June 30.--Na- ture substituting for the apparently puny efforts of more than 200 men equipped with modern forest fire fighting appliances and working desperately for the past week has saved the situation on the J.
