The judge in Winnipeg, before whom the editors' cases will come on Saturday, was formerly a member of the Commons and resigned his seat there in favor of Mr. Rogers. By the way it is understood that some of the funds which were collected from the Agricultural College builder, by the conservative party, went to- ards the Haggart election. There pony in the answer of Judge Galt Rogers' telegram, that he was wiling to accept of service at Ot- tawa and appear. in: Winnipeg for contemp of court. Judge Galt's reply was: "My authority .to punish for contempt has been" challenged, and the question is now before Mr. Justice Haggart for decision." This has been referred to as a Roland for an Oliver. Canada Is lending $60,000,000 to Britain! That's going some. Can- ada, from the savings of the people, contributing to the war necessities of the Empire? Yes, and doing it easily. Nor {is the $200,000,000 which the people have subscribed all the people have to spare. G RID OF HEARST Hon, I. B, Lucas laughed when] asked about the rumored elevation of the premier to a seat on the bench. What is there to laugh about? Is it not better to see the man provided with a soft place, away from the tumult and the row in his own 'party? 1s it not better than to con- tiue the agitation for his humilia- tion, seeing that he cannot back down on the prohibition question? Mr, Hearst would ornament the bench quite us much as many others who have retired to it, from public life, and as a relief to themselves and thelr party. The impression r that e sacrifice must be made A couple of cases will suffice to ex- hibit the sufficiency of the British plan of recruiting. One man plead-| ed, before the recruiters' court, that he had a medical certificate which represented hifin as unfit for active | service. The médical board was in-| family physicians, but it tallied with the evidence 'which an independent examination afforded, and was .ac- cepted. A second man, aged nty-four, pleaded that he was an American by birth, unnaturalized, and so uneligi- ble for service in the British army. It transpired on examination that the young man had been dopted, and taken the place and nathe of a mem- ber of the family, deceased. The foster mother admitted the facts and the court ordered him to get ready for service. ' The British have long since passed the point where any consideration rises superior to the demands of the country, and the proceedings run smoothly through all the courts and stations where recruits are either invited or forced to sign up. Canada has been amiss, through its -government, in the duty of the hour. It may rally as a result of the new methods which are to be tried, but it ds doubtful. tended so far as the fair was con- cerned.

The manager of the show must have han an under- standing of some kind with the ojd man. IMPOSTS OF THE WAR. Great crises are taken advantage of by some producers in order to ad- vance their interests; and during the war there has been a great outcry against apparent impositions. Every little while there is an appeal to the government to institute enquiries; and to give relief where it seems to be so necessary. The newspaper publishers would not hope to escape the anxieties which are forced upon others. Their trial comes from the uncertainties of the paper trade, and the willingness of the paper manu- facturers to make contracts for ex- tended periods at reasonable figures, There is not in Canada any special shortage in the supply. Canada is the greatest paper producing coun- try in the world. It has the spruce wood, in unlimited quantities. It has the mills which can supply, it they are run fully, all the papéF that the publishers need. There may be a shortage on the American side, brought about by two contingencies: (1) a reduced quantity of pulp wood, and (2), a reduced importation of paper from Europe. South America keeps up its supply. There is noth- ing to interfere with it. But Norway and Sweden find it impossible to con- tinue their exports to America while the war and the submarine menace remain. Then the duty on Canadian paper has been changed by the American government, and it is pos- sible for the Canadian producers to get rid of their surplus supplies, and much of their regular supplies, at a price as high as 5 cents per pound. The publishers have reason to be- lieve that paper can be' supplied to them at reasonable and contract rates, that the machinery is now be- ing installed which wil add to the daily output of a thousand tons, that the congestion. of the present can be removed a little latter, and that there should not be any bar to the service which the publis demand. Of course a deaf ear cannot be turned to the warning that the pub- lishers economize in paper as, much as possible, and make up for an in- creage in expenses by an increase in -ratél, and something in this direction may follow as a matter of business procedure. ~ But there is something more which the publishers can do, thus profiting by the great object lesson of the hour, and following the splendid example of the American and British publishers. They can own their own pulp wood and mills, and produce paper as they want it at a minimum of cost.

Prof. Denys was greatly affected at the kindness of the choir. He said that words failed to express what he felt. He would always recall as among the happiest years of his life the time he had spent as organist of St, Mary's. He thanked the leader for his support and the members for their co-operation. He was going from Kingston bearing the highest regard for all, and bore testimony to all classes. Convalescent Picnic Postponed.

The object of the dimmer law is by everybody who ventures out after dark it would not be necessary to|= haul off into six feet of ragweed in order to allow some human catapult to hurl himself into eternity at thé next box culvert. It is a good law, but it is enforced in the same rigid to enable people to drive automobiles at night without being struck speech- less in both eyeballs. The dimmer itself is a small retiring bulb which can be turned off and on without hurting anybody but the driver, who is not able to see whether he is in the turnpike or has strayed into an adjacent alfalfa field. One of the most blood-curdling moments in this monotonous existence is to throw on the dimmers date an approaching car, with a dri- ver who is too exhausted to return the compliment, and then edge soul- fully into a ditch whose depths have never been sounded by the hoof of man or beast. While it is generally conceded that the dimmer law is a step in the right direction, there is a growing suspicion that it does not go far enough. How much better it would have been to have attached a short, crisp amendment providing that drivers, who fail to use their dim- ming apparatus shall be electrocuted from the hips up. As it is now, thousands of dimmers are never used for anything except roadside spoon- ing purposes, instead of serving the noble object for which they were de- by a saplent legislature. If the dimmer law were observed in order to accommo- - law emnforced in the same rigid and unsparing manner as the prohibitory amendment in Maine. and unsparing manner as the pro- hibitory amendment in Maine. And yet every winter the state legislature enacts a trunkful of new laws which we are all in favor of living up to until it comes our turn. The best. way to get around the dimmer law and avoid its noxious effects is to ride in the daytime and rest up at night. One characteristic [|i Mr. O'Connor asked || sentiment it expressed.
