C 3UTLCll has transferred the management of the police force to a commission. No doubt that commission will pert-inn its duties with integrity and skill. The police service will be almost certain to greatly improve under the new control. and in so far as it does so improve, the change will be cause for congratulation. In all their efforts to bring about this result, these gentlemen will have the lieirtiest support of this paper, and for them we be speak the cooperation of all our town readers. But while this change will doubtless put our police system in a better state, it marks a condition of things far more regrettable than any defects in that system have ever been. That such a change should be necessary, and that it should have been made under the circumstances that it was, indicate evils that neither a police force nor a com- mission, nor both together can rem we. " 1 - A! LLâ€" ‘lll-JJIVIA, lav. UV -â€" Both these seem to indicate the decadence of the town council. As representatives of the people, there is nothing more important or more naturally within their jurisdiction, than the means for guarding the public peace To day there is a strong conviction that it should be placed in other bands. That conviction has not been reached ltd vv~.vâ€" because the dujies have so multiplied as to be too numer- ous for the council, but simply because that body has shown itself incapable of dealing with them in any satisfac- tory way. ZA police commission in this town, is like a body of guardians taking over the affairs of an incompetent. What makes it all the worse is the fact that councils have failcd not for lack of administrative ability so much as in- tegrity and moral courage. When, year after year, bodies of men selected by the ratepayers have failed and for thea reason mentioned, it is a cause for concern far deeper than is the poliee question itself. In some quarters the present council is receiving credit for courage and independence in appointing the commission. To some extent its members may have exercised these virtues, but for the most part, they made an exhibition of the opposite qualities. Anyone who listened to their speeches on Monday night must have concluded that they merely threw upon somebody else a task of which they themselves were afraid. They had advertised for a chief of police and had in their hands a number of applications, but at the last mament shrank from making a selection. The seven men who sit at the board are as capable of appointing and managing proper police otficers as any commission. It was their duty to do it. If they had been men of strength and independence, they would have done it. There was, in the nature of things, no reason for appointing the commission.

Of course since men of such mettle have been, and are, in the council of this town, it is a most fortunate thin: that there is a commission to do their work for thin. Likely other departments should be placed under commis. sions too, and it looks as if the time is coming when one must be asked to report on the wisdom of dispensing with the aldermanic bcdy altogether. IF CANADIAN critics of Col. Hughes had been at Upington during the flag incident, they would likely have preserved a discreet silence, in painful contrast to their present long-range noisiness. IF MR. BOURASSA had the sort‘ and amount of saga- city possessed by most Canadian poiiticians, he would not have said the things that led his fellow members to make a scene in the house last week. THERE Is A difference of opinion about the wisdom of putting the broken stone on the non bridge, but in certain 1y adds to the distractions of the bridge- swinger’s duties. IT IS rumored that Mr, Geo. McHugh will begiven a portfolio in the Laurier cabinet. He is a. worthy man and we should be glad to see him in honor, but the premier ought to be notified that Mr. McHugh will not be the representative from South Victoria next time and that if he wants to do the riding any favors he must get them ready for Dr. Vrooman. WITH THE BR'GHT, warm, June days, have come the baby-carriages upon the streets. Their little tenants make them welcome. We would walk a block to give them the right of wayâ€"and that is no irony. Fresh, laughing, bright-eyed and rose-complexioned, without a line of care or a stain of evil, their faces are a ministry to many of their seniors who have escaped neither the lines nor the stains. The belief that there is a divine element in human life must find its chief confirmation in childhood. Make way for the baby carriages; and their innocent, sweet-faced little occupantsâ€"let us treat them well, for upon them we sha‘l have to depend for our burial. THE GRANOLITHIC crossing on \Viliiam-st. is coming in for a good deal of adverse criticism. The council is not escaping attention of the same sort, and some at it reaches even the street commissioner. In tact pretty much every- bodyr at all connected with the public works is getting at share, and all these are as anxious as the aldermen to put the blame on someone else. 'lhe public is a trifle mad. and when one looks at the crossing and the expense of' getting the road down to it, wrath seems something of the righteous sort. It is as well however to believe that the town engineer is an accredited man who fully understands where the crossing should be. It may all come out right. It must be admitted, though, that when one steps down over one of these ridiculous jolts in the pavement. after dark, it is hard to think or speak respectfully of that ofiicial’s skill or to hope that the crossing is all right. style, regular $3.00 Boots, sale price .......................... â€"â€"Men’s Vice Kidd, Goodyear Welted 2 5“ year welted soles, up --to date in 225 soles Lace Boots, English back stay, were $3.25, for ............. â€"Men’s Fine Daik Tan Lace Boots, very stylish, English back stay, sold ”1 5“ every where at $2.00, our price. â€"Men’s Dong.

Tea In Tibetan Style. On returning to the tents we found our company d1inking tea in the Tibetan style. This is quite a different opelation from the Chinese 01 Emopean infusion system. The tea used is of the desmip- tion known as brick tea. which is tightly compressed into bricklike blocks. It is boiled with carbonate of soda and butter, flavored with salt and thickened with barley meal, thus forming a sort of soup. To my taste this particular brew was simply nauseous. The compound, when concocted with proper materials and on scientific principles, is declared by competent authority to be good. I sup- pose, therefore, that as there certainly are differences in English teapots so there are also in Tibetan kettles. Tea drinking is a constant occupation for a Tibetan. In every tent and in every house the teakettle is always on the fire. The laws of hospitality bind all to present tea to their guests. and every Tibetan carries with him a wooden bowl of Himalayan maple by way of. teacup.â€"â€" Geographical Journal.

A young woman. accompanied by a young man, entered the dining room of one of our hotels one evening and took a seat at a table near that occupied by another large party. The man then pro- ceeded to order an appetizing meal with- out, as the onlookers noticed, consulting his conipanion’s preferences at all. This was the more surprising to them as the young woman wore a gray tailor suit, a gray hat, white gloves and stock and had an enormous bunch of violets tucked in the front of her coatâ€"was alto- gether so bridy looking, in fact, that the people at the next table murmured “Bride and bridegroom” as soon as they caught sight of her. The impression was heightened when the young woman, drawing 0!? her gloves, sighed heavily and said quite audibly, “How I do miss mammal” The man made no reply. “I was never so frightened in my life as when I walked down the aisle,” she resumed vivaciously after _a moment’s pause. “It seemed to me I saw the face of every one I ever knew. “'cren’t you frightened, darling? The man's face, assumed a rich, impe- rial purple hue. “No,” he muttered hurriedly. “W'hat are you going to have for dessert?” “I’m not going to have any dessert." she replied dreamily; “I have had so much wedding cake I’m tired of sweets. Lean this way, dear, just one moment.” And as he complied with her request she brushed his collar daintily with her hand- kerchief. “\Vhat is it?” he asked grufliy. “Rice,” responded his companion de- murely. Then the man’s face assumed red, white and blue tints, and he looked dag- gers and other sharp instruments at the girl, whose eyes were dancing. At this juncture the couple were joined by a friend, much to the regret of the highly entertained people near by. “How d’ye do, Jones?” said the new- comer aflably. “How d’ye do, Miss Ella? It does my heart good to see a brother and sister dining together. Usually it’s some one else’s sister that a man takes around.” “I’m taking him this time,” said the yopng woman soberly. “You see, we had a bet, and he won. and this dinner is in payment of the debt. He ordered all the most expensive things on the bill of fare, but I think that I’ve got even with him; I really do. You see, I could do it, being a stranger in the city.” “What’s all this?” asked the my stifled man. “\Vhat did you do to him? He looks as cross as a bear.” “It’s just some of her nonsense,” said the still flushed man hastily. “Forget it and come join us, old fellow.
