FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 19,13. The Minister and the General. Toronto Globe. ' A report sent out from Ottawa as to the reason for General Mnckenzie’s resignation before the eXpiry of his pee riod of service, indicates that the fric= tion between him and the Minister of Militia arose because the General in- sisted on anincrease of the permanent force to.the strength of 5,000 men recommended in General French’s re- port. Everyone who knows General Mackenzie speaks highly not only of his elficiency. as a soldier, but of his tact and his courtesy. Everyone who knows Col. ‘Hughes understands that he is the most irascible and “difficult " Minister the militia. ever bad. If there is no one else upon whom to work off his restless activity, a. British General is 'as likely to hear from him as the orderly at his door. If General Mackenzie stood for an increase of theppermanent force to 5,‘ OOO'men, however, and Col. Hughes opposed it, and if the difference of opinion resulted in theiGeneral’s resig- nation, the people of Canada will on- hesitatingly stand behind tllefiNlllllStttl'. Canada has no need of a large number of professional soldiersâ€"for garrison .or similar purposes. A considerable ' body isjmaintained at Halifax to gnl'~ rison the defences ' under agreement - with the British Government, and a lemaller force is stationed_at Esqui- malt for a. like .purpose. The only other service ~for- which professional soldiers are necessary is the keeping of :the. peace . when serious-labor trou- bles breakyouthin large centres.“ The present force’is quit-elarge enough flir- that purpose, and an addition of a. 3 gcouple, of thousand- rmen who would 'V have to5 be \vitlldl‘wwnl'from the ranks ‘ of industry would not be: justified. The .truth is that far too much mo ney Vis‘spent on permanent oliicers at head-quarters and elsewhere, and ten inexpensive drillv'sheds and. armories in centres for training. These military gymnasia all overlthe .conntry could become' centres for the winter social :life oflthe young. follows, rivalling the hookey' rinks, and would serve to keep 'mcr the rifle range SllO‘Dld‘be ascen- Zand all the year round there should be or at the call of the company. The essence of the system of training should be in the acquisition of skill with the rifle and u. physique that , would make a. ten mile march, in full 'kit, exercise rather than punishment. The fuss, frills and feathers should be cut out. Under the conditions out- vide elaborate trappings to attract the youth of the country to the militia. _That is The Globe’s idea as to'how Canada’s citizen soldiers. should be drilled. Col. Hughes is on the right track if. he proposes to hold down the amount to be spent on the professional soldier, and to devote as much of the teaching young Canada to march and. shoot. â€"â€"â€"=â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"?â€"â€"â€"â€"_ Curfew Law All Over Province. l The Toronto News says: The old cur- few-regulations that used to prevall in so many of the villages and towns of Ontario will be enforced with the great- est strictness in Toronto and all over the Province, the amended Children's Protection Act having just come into force. Nine o'clock at night is fixed as the hour atgvhich all children have to be, off the streets. Any child under sixteen years of age who is found on a_ public street or in any place to which the , public have access after that hour and who is not accompanied by a; parent or entpngual-dian to accompany the child, will be liable to arrest after one warning by a constable or oflicer of the Children's Aid Snbiety. Arrest in this case does ' "not mean that the child will be taken to the police station or put ill the cells. I: done. ' the lads out of the saint-ins. hn’sum- .D venient as the drill-gym in' winter, . lined there would be no need to pm i militia. appropriation as possible to l the Children‘s Shelter. The penalties provided by the amend- ment will fall on the parent of the child who offends, the fines being for the' first offence, $2 for the second and $5 for any subsequent offence. lixed at $1 The new sections of the act will aliect the newsboys of the city and only the - bigger lads will be able to soil papers late at night, while it will also result - in the disappearance from the streets of young girls of twelve to sixteen, who parade the down town thoroughfares long after nine o'clock. â€"â€"_â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"- ‘.Fire in Fenel’onâ€"Geo. lmrie’s House Burned. On Sunday morningythe dwelling of. Mr. Geo. lmrio‘of‘Eenelon, about four miles west of the Falls; was burned to the ground with all its contents.‘ Mr. Imrie and the other members of the household were out doing the chores, and no one saw the fire until it bad .ob- taincd so much headway that no attempt could be made to check it. Everything in the house was consumed. The fire is supposedto have originated in some way from tllc cook stove. The insur- ance is $600, which is small compared to the loss sustained. by'M r. Imrie. _.â€"__-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"- Haliburton Excursion Cancelled. The excursion announced for the 12th of June, to [-laliburton, by the East and West Victoria Farmers’ and Women's Institutes, has been cancelled. The Grand Trunk asked what the Institutes considered too much money for a pro- posed extension of the original route arranged for. and the whole matter was dropped. The Feliclon Falls Public Library Board has been discussing an excursion, but the prohibitive guarantee required by the railway makes it ex- tremon unlikely that anything can be Personals Mr. E. W. Glaspell was at the Falls lilst week. While away this spring Mr. Glaspell had his right arm broken in a runaway accident, but will soon be able to use the'arln again. ~ . ltcv.

The prize list of, the Culnldinu-National Exhibition, Toronto, August 23rd to Septdlll, is being. distributed, and it shows. that the Management have given special 'attcnl ion to the Agricultural department generally, and to the en- couragement of the smaller exhibitor in particular. . , ‘ ' ' In cattle, more money is given to both the beef and dairy classes, and the list has been extended so that in some class- es, as many as eight prizes are given. Thus the small breeder with a good animal is practically sure of recouping at least a. part of the expense of shipping to Toronto. More'moncy‘is also given to Horticul- ture, Floriculture and Poultry. The entire list totals $55,000, and as no rizesnre given for Manufactures, every “dollar of this goes to the products of the garden. . ‘ _ The special attractions this year are featured by three high-class bandsâ€"the Irish Guards, and one other from Eng- land, and Conway's band from Chicago, while of the spectacle “The Burning of Rome," it is enough to say that it will be staged by John Henderson, of England, who has put. on all the big spectacles of recent years in Britain. 0-. , 'rRl'AL BY JURY " AT COBOCONK. to “Trial by Jury " will be presented by the Coboconk Dramatic Club' on Friday, June *13th, under the auspices of the 'Coboconk branch of the Women's Insti- tute.

On Thursday of last week Mr. P. C.
