On the navy question, which will be shortly up for consideration in the House of Commons at Ottawa, there ap- pears to be a pretty general agreement among members on both sides of the House, and something in the shape of a definite move toward the establishment of a Canadian navy is looked for at this session. That the legislators at Ottawa are pretty much of one mind, however, is no indication at all that they are right. They were unanimous, for in- stance, about the raising of their own salaries a few years ago. The question of commencing mthe con- struction of a Canadian navy or of mak- ing, a cash contribution to the British navy fund, has not received the consid- eration the importance of the matter deserves. The people should be con- sulted before any definite action is taken. The people are not by any means all of one opinion on the subject, and many letters setting forth various views have been published. The letter of Mr. Phillips Thompson, printed below, is an example: “Shall Canada have a navy ? This is essentially a class question and the ans- wer entirely depends upon the point of view. War and war-like preparations are clearly in the'interest of the capitalâ€" ist class for several reasons. Wars ex- tend the area of industrial exploitation ; naval 'and military forces in time of 5V - a peace are at the bidding of the corpora- tions to hold the workers in subjection : international difficulties and war scares distractattention from domestic reforms -â€"and.last, but not least, a naval con- l'or graft. It is not surprising, therefore, that thecapitalist class is enthusiastic- ally infavor of 'a navy. Nowlook at it from the standpoint of the working people. They do the fight- ing andsufl‘er nearly all the incidental hardships of a state of war. They have absolutely nothing to gain by victory ' and nothing to lose by defeat. The con- ditition of the masses of the people 'would‘hno‘t be substantially altered for theworse, ev‘en in_the remote and im- probable _event of Canada being forcibly , annexed to the United States. Hundreds of thousands of our population cross the line from time to time in search of em- ployment, and the change in the flag overhead doesn't trouble them a little bit. ' Why then should they fight ,or sup- port naval or military preparations sole- ly in the interests of their masters, especially» when they realize that these forces are a hundred times more likely to be used against themselves than against a foreign enemy. Thesciviews of course are not popular now, the people having been so be-devil- led and misled by the capitalist press, the politicians, and the preachers as to be willing and eager to supply the means to perpetuate their cwn servitude. But they will be as soon as the workers become class-conscious, as many of the trades’ union leaders are already.” , Properly Supreme. ~ “ It may seem late in the world's his- to speak a word in praise of slavery, but even that hideous institution had one good feature that has been lost sight of in the march of liberty and progress. Under slavery human beings were prop- erty, and if slavery had continued it is undoubted that many of the problems that still await solution would have sheep, horses, and cows are property the care of their health has become the subject of much excellent legislation. Destructive diseases are stamped out promptly, sanitary conditions of living are made compulsory, and the condition of animals is rapidly becoming all it should be. If human beings were still enslaved they would have profited eq- ually with animals in the advance of science. Meetings of slave owners would now be considering papers on such questions as “The Prevention of Group in Children," and “The Best w . Treatment for Stone Bruises,” because such scourges as tuberculosis would have been stamped out on account of their destructiveness to property." Property. is supreme; human life is of secondary importance, or of no import- ~ance at all. Rather a humiliating con- fession for “Canada’s national news- paper” to make in this age of alleged enlightenment. But it is true. A slave cost money, and if he become sick or died his owner’s pocket sulfered. Now- adays a wage-slave gets occasionally a little more than enough to keep him; but he has his own doctor‘s bills to pay, I and when he dies it costs nothing to get another in his place. If negro slavery was a hideous institution, what word- will describe an institution that allows thousands of human beings to die ofl preventable diseases ? ' struction‘ offers immense opportuntiesl Crop Reports. The Census Office gave out on Novem- ber 12th a statement on the root, seed and fodder crops of Canada. for the month of October. together with their values as reported by the regular cor- respondents. ‘ The yield of potatoes is 99,097,000 bushels, which is 22,697,000 bushels more than last year. Turnips are reported at 107,724,000 bushels, being 5,476,000 bushels more than last year. The hay and clover crop is 427,000 tons more than last year, its total yield being 11, 877,000 tons. Fodder corn shows a de- crease of 149,000 tons, the crop being 2,780,000 tons. The average condition of potatoes over Canada is 93.98 per cent., of turnips and other roots 91.64 per cent., of hay and clover 88.68 per cent, and of fodder corn 90.08 per cent. The total value of the four crops is $502,473,700 as against $186,595,000 last year. Prince Edward Island is credited with $5,748,500, or 2.83 per cent.of the total; Nova Scotia with $18,791,300, or 9,25 per cent.; New Brunswick with $13, 497,900, or 6.61 per cent.; Quebec with $59,952,000, or 29.69 per cent.;' Ontario with $97,475,000, or 48.15 per cent.; Man- itoba with $2,886,500 or 1.42 per cent.; Saskatchewan with $1,806,500 or 0.93 per cent.; and Alberta with $2,276,000 or 1.12 per cent. The value of hay and clover alone is $132,287,000, being .3310, 403,000 more than last year. . The potato rot has done much harm in the Maritime provinces as a consequence of the heavy fall rains; but in Quebec and Ontario the yield and quality rank high. Good reports are also made for the Northwest provinces, but consxder- able damage has been done there in places by early frost in September. In British Columbia all the crops are reported as excellent in quality and yield, but no areas have been procured for that province. The full report on the root and fodder crops will be printed in the Census and Statistics Monthly. Personals. Miss Ruby Goodman of Rosedale was a visitor to the Falls on Wednesday.

Three gentlemen passed through Cobo« couk to-day on their return home to Fenelon Falls from their hunting expedi- tion, carrying with them three fine deer. Some little excitement was caused Monday afternoon by the back of Mr. Fielding’s drug store catching fire while some Xmas goods were being unpacked. The fire was caused by some excelsior, which was used in packing, being too close to the stove. The fire was exting- ‘ nished by Mr. Fielding before any dam- age was done. Mr. Junkin, of Fenelon Falls, was in town on Monday on business for Mr. Arnold.
