This province can ill afford to lose its public men at that time of life ; for it is then that they have acquired the stores of information and practical ability by which they are enabled to more fully serve the province. The British Empire is much indebted to stateS- men of grey hairs. Mr. Hardy was a man of strong char- acter and keen intellect. If not of that suave disposition ‘ that attracted men to him, be yet commanded their confi- dence and reSpect by his ability and uprightness. It is a pity that he could not have lived to vigorous old age to take his place among the all too few men of striking ability v‘vâ€"v ._â€"_ - ‘ in Ontario’s political life to-day. COMMISSIONER Chalmers wants more wages. His re- quest is a very natural and reasonable one. It is based on the amount of additional work entailed by taking levels ‘ and making plans for sewers. Of course it was understood when he was engaged that such work was included in his duties. That was a strong argument used by some who favored a change of commissioners. Even so, that is no ason why, if the work warrants it, he should not have more pay. It would seem, however, that the comimissioner has uleutv of work to do in actual construction.
