THIRD PRIZE IN DINGWAU. COMPETITION The conclusions of this Convention will be of the utmost importance to future temperance work in the Prov- ince of Ontario. Toronto World: The Queen City rink that participated in the Winni- Deg bonspiel returned yesterday well satisfied with their _\expedition to the west. Flavelle‘s Lindsay rink also reâ€" turned yesterday. R. B. Rice, the skip, says the teams are getting stronger pvery year, and consist mostly of young men, and you must be in good physical condition to stand the pace. This year the offi- cials tried to hurry the games through and many of the curlers complained of overwork. McAuley of Southampton, who failed to reach ‘the 8's in any of the opens, had to {take to his bed. Cameron of St. Thomas was knocked out in all the first rounds, and thus was eligible for the Consolation, in which he landâ€" ed second place. The Wingham rink was beaten in the international semi-finals. Rice played with Flavelle in the Veterans' Whyte Cup competition, and lost in the semi-finals. Flavelle landed third prize in the Dingwall. The 'Rice quartet partiCipated in 18 Gamma; and of course thoroughly en- ‘ year. The :Rice quarti games, and 05 CC joyed themselves.

BORN On October 10th. 1911 Premier Borâ€" den and his ministry were sworn in. They have already faced one parlia- mentary session and are naw toward the end of a third month of a sec- ond. It would be hard to point to any useful legislation they have ac- complished in that time. The out- standing facts of the ConserVative re- gime so far are the resignation of Hon. Mr. Monk owing to the shufflâ€" ing oves the neural question; the reâ€"i insal of the government to proceed with the project of building a. Cana- dian navy; the proposition to send a gift of $35,000,000 to Great Britain, for which they have no mandate, and upon which the country is absolute- 1y divided; the proposition to grant $10,000,000 in aid to agriculture, a continuation of Liberal policy; the proposition to secure better trade relations with the West Indies, also part of the Liberal policy; the disâ€" missals of thousands of government employee all over the country, and the election scandals of Macdonald, Richelisu and Antigosh. The main accomplishments are resignations, dismissals and scandals. Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his cabinet were sworn in on July 11th, 1896. A brief session of parliament was held from August 19th to October 5th. Then the cabinet settled down to the; promised revision of the tarifi. They were ready again, and called Parlia- ment on March 25th, 1897. A month later the famous Fielding Tariff with its beneficient readjustment at du- ties, and the inguguration of the Imâ€" perial Conference he won ttill greatâ€" enthusiasm of the Empire, was brought into effect, and on June 3rd Sir Wilfrid left for England, where Two covnnmrs comm» up- at the Queen’s Jubilee and the Im- perial Conference he won still gregt- er fame: for Canada. This was all within the first year of Liberal ad- ministration. The change of Borden rule does not seem to have benefittedCanada. Evidently inspired eflorts have been made by the ConservatiVe press to make it appear that the seven Na- tionalists who voted against the iBorden Naval resolution on Thursâ€" day night were supporting the Lib- eral party, and absolutely mislead- ing reports seeking to convey this efiect were sent out.

It was as staunch- 1y opposed by the Government side, and their Nationalist. allies, each of the latter being greeted with derisive laughter from the Liberal benches as they swallowed their principles to vote against it. Again when the vote was taken on Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s main amend- ment calling for two Canadian fleet units the Nationalists to a man join- ed the Government in defeating it. When the final vote on Mr. Borâ€" den’s resolution came seven of the Nationalists, Messrs. Achim, Mondou Bellemare and Barrette voted against it. In so doing they did not support the Laurier amendment, but voted as an isolated group, opposed to both propositions. It is altogether likely that the rest of the fourteen Nation- alists sitting on the Conservative side would have refused to swallow their election promises, and would also have voted against the Borden iesolution but for the influence of the three Nationalist Ministers in his Cabinet, Messrs. Pelletier, Nan- tel, and Coderre, who unlike Mr. ‘ Monk, prefer the emoluments of oflicet ito carrying out preâ€"electiou pledges. The seven Nationalists who voted against the Borden Resolution and the Laurier Amendment were only do~ ing what all the Nationalists were pledged to do at the time Mr. Borv den took three of them into his Cabâ€" inet with the hope of winning them all over to his side. He lost Mr. Monk after a year, but by placing part of the government of the counâ€" try in their hands has succeeded in holding some of the others. THE LINDSAY PUb'T. TRUSTING TBIE PEM’LE yard.

Such new legislation as has We close at. 9 o’clock Sat- urday Nights been presented has proven so defect- ive that it has had to be dropped. as waé the case with the proposed Tariff Commission or amended by the Sen- ate in manner distasteful to the partisan Government as happened to the Highways’ Aid B111 and the T. N. 0. Railway Subsidy Bill, both of which ‘ccn’cained dangerous prin- ciples which would have made them mere instruments for partisan man- ipulation. This deartn of eiiective legislation is the more notable since the Govern- ment is not met with mere factions opposition. Whereever measures were presented by the Government which promised to 'be good their principle was accepted by the Liberals and criticism was only directed to assur- ing their paper administration. This was shOWn recently when the Oppo- sition accepted Hon. Mr. Burrell's proposition to grant $10,000,000 for ‘aid to agriculture duning the next ‘ ten years and intimated that crit- icism would only be directed to inâ€" suring the expenditure of this large sum so 'as to do equal justice to each Province without the possibility of special flavours for districts where the Government might want to secure undue influence.

This amendment, the Liberals, headed by Sir Wilfrid Laurier. supported to a men, while the Conservatives, led by Premier Borden, solidly voted against the proposal. The vote was 75 to 36,_a Government m jority of 39. The first speaker in yesterday’s de- bate, was Mr; Garvell. who spoke o! the evils of watered stock. Such stock he said, was usually sold to some in- nocent person, who paid value for it and expected dividends.

Mr. Bristol, Centre Toronto, who is a stockholder in the company, lament- ed that there was a confusion of ideas abroad. It was proper enough, he said, to regulate the capitalization of a street railway company or of a rail. way company. Such companies en- ioyed franchises. In the case of the VR. 6: 0., he contended that the com. pany received nothing irom the public and enjoyed no monopoly. Hon. H. R. Emmerson said that Mr; Bristol naturally spoke from the 5 point of the shareholder, but than was also the standpoint of the public to be considered. Hon. W. '1‘. White agreed with It. Bristol that the company had no fran- chise or monopoly. It had to come to Parliament in order to get permission _.:-Lb Inluawcuv Au v-â€"-- -- g- . to increase its capital, but it might turn around to-morrow, be re-incot- porated by letters patent, and acquire the right to increase its capital inde- finitely- He thought that some Gov- ernmental supervision over capi ' zation might be justifiable in the case of railway companies, but pot V‘ .u â€".
