All along it has been in the power F of Council to interpose in‘ so far at Eleast as to expose the true condiâ€" !tions of the service. Controllers and 'aldermen must have been allowed to ‘eVade their responsibility and. let it ! upon others. The situation will yet I be saved, but only by men big en- : ough to realize the importance of the icrisis. bill. The Unionists tried pro- tection and dropped it. They will do no better with their anti-Home Rule cry. Stories of the approaching downfall of the Asquith administration are growing stale. 0n the other hand we see the Unionists party led by a leader whose indiscre- tion and lack of judgment has creat- ed a situation which bodes no good to the Opposition. Unless something unforseen happens the Liberals will hold the reigns of office until the par- liamentary term expires. Electric venture must have an imâ€" portant bearing upon the public ownership movement not only in To- ronto but throughout the Province. Let municipal control prove abortive in this instance and the cause will receive a body blow. For the mise management lately revealed weak members of the Board of Control and City, Council were and are in some degree responsible. Much of the con- struction work was performed before the commission was given control. If the present condition persists it will grow worse, the city’s first large venture in public ownership will prove a costly failure, the democra- tic movement for the popular owner- ship and control of public 'utilities will be seriously retarded and popu- lar sentiment set against municipal enterprise just as the time approach- es when we should be preparing to take over the Toronto Railway Com- pany’ s franchise and property. In or- der to strengthen the cause of pub- lic ownership in this city and throughout the country we must exâ€" HYDRO ELECTRIC FAILURE at a. great bargain thls week, and lacks very much like the real leath- er, Size 22 inch, $1.25. 25' in c b, 81 35. 26 in c 11, $1.45.

The Peterboro EXaminer in comâ€" menting upon the situation remarks: "The fe'ars of the News are justi- fied. The conditions developed justify the Examiner’s difierentation oi pub- lic ownership and public operationâ€" where it is municipalâ€"of public util- ities. In spite of every precautionâ€"as experience has provedâ€"municipal op- eration is bound to be a failure. If Toronto’s Hydro-Electric system had been placed earlier in the hands of an independent commission, relieved of the bedevilling influences of mu- nicipal politics, there would be ‘an assurance of efliclent management, and efficient service at a. cost regu- lated by the application of business principles. We have proved this »in Peterboro with our municipally ownâ€" ed water works. From the beginning they have been managed by a ‘comâ€" mission entirely free from municipal control. The result has been success â€"a marked success, which the most reckless Will not say would have been possible under municipal man- agement. It is unfortunate that pub- lic ownership and moral control of public utilities should be discredited by the inevitably bad results that come from the civic or I‘municipal ad- ministration. Public ownership is solely justified by resultsâ€"efliciency of service and economical manageâ€" ment. These it is admitted, cannot come from municipal or civic manâ€" agement, bound to be complicated by the intrusion of'ward politics, with their elaborate implication of evil consequences.” Mr. Joseph Stevens, Rosemount, Ont., is one of the great hosts who ‘ continually sound the praise of Dr.‘ Williams’ Pink Pills and he has much reason to do so as they brought him from suffering to health, , after he had spent much money and two years of time experimenting with other treatments. Mr. Stephens tells his experience as follows: “In the month of 'Januaey, 1908, while work- ing in a logging camp at Creston, B. (3., I got my back badly injured. I sufiered a great deal of pain and was almost helpless. I tried plasters thinking they would help me, but they were of no use. I took several medicines, equally without benefit. Then I was advised to try electrical treatment and did so for a time, but without getting any permanent relief, and it began to look as though I was going to be permanently crip- pled. Then I was advised to underâ€" go treatment with a specialist at Spokane, Wash. After examining me he said thatI was ina very bad shape and that the trouble was like. 1y to result in Bright‘s disease. How- ever, he told me that he felt sure he could cure me. At a heavy expenseI was under his treatment for three months, but I did not get the least benefit. I was almost in despair; work was plentiful and wages good, but I could not work as I was quite unable to bend. Iwas in this condi- ‘tion for about two years, when my ibrother, who was with. me all the time, care across one of Dr. Wil- liams’ pamphlets and read of the great work Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills were doing. He urged me to try them, but I thought it would be use- less to spend more money after all the other treatment had failed. He insisted, however, and got a dozen boxes of the pills and I began to take them. Before I had used a half dozen boxes, I felt relief and I con- tinued taking the Pills until every vestige of the pain was gone, and I could raise my hands above my head and then bend until I could touch my toes with my fingers, something I had not been able to do for over two years. My cure was a great sur- prise to my comrades, and you may be sure I told them what brought it about. Iam now as well and strong as any man in the country and I owe it all to Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.” Brought on by a Severe Strainâ€"How a Cure Was found. _Premier Borden visited Toronto this week.

President Taft in a speech at Toledo on Friday, said he was tired of being lied about by Mr. Rooseve'lt. In the old days in most countries and in France today this sort of thing would be followed by a challenge to fight a duel. .In the United States it is likely to be followed by some more aggra- vating statement from Mr. Roosevelt. Fighting with pistols was never good, but in its day and place it may have had. compensations. It may have tended to check fighting with mud. The American people should put the two bellicose politicians in a ring where they could pummel each other until their unbridled tongues ceased wagging. According to despatches from Lon- don received by newspapers on this side of the Atlantic, British factories are working overtime to produce re- serves of war supplies and great stores of coal are being secured by the Admiralty. Everything is being done, it is further alleged that would be thought necessary it a. war loomed ahead. There should be a chance in Great Britain toâ€"day for a big slow Speaking sure moving statesman like Salisbury whom his countrymen could trust and in whose good faith and strength other people would gave con fidence. The talkers seem to be drift- ing into trouble. Forearmed is fore- warned and Britain is determined to be ever ready to repel an attack any nation might" make upon her. There is no likelihood of the “tight little Island” being drawn into war at present. THE LINDSAY POST.

Ramsay’s scheme for obtaining power from coal Without the prelim- inary labor of mining. The plan is to put down a bore-hole until a coal Six powers, Great Britain, the Uni- ted States, France, Germany, Russia, and Japan, have reached an agree- ment by which $50,000,000 will be advanced to meet the present finan- cial necessities of the Chinese Re- public. It is believed that the appli- cation of a portion of this loan to the payment of the soldiers will re- move the most serious menace to the new government. Mr. F. D, Kerr, at Peterboro, is in town today attending the High Court 01 J ustioe. seam is reached; to set the coal on fire by electricity, and to blow air down so as to enable the coal to burn. The gas produced by burning Would be brought up from the depths by pipes, transformed into electrical energy at centred stations, and then distributed by wire over a wide area. In speaking of his proposal, Sir Wm. Ramsay says he has himself seen electrical energy carried over a dis- tance of 80 miles in In 'ana, and it is carried 200 miles in Ca ‘forn-ia. It is, indeed, being carried further than this in Ontario under the Hydro-Elec- tric system. The only difliculty in the way of putting Ramsay's scheme into effect lies in the possibility of carrying out the preliminary operation of reachâ€" ing the coal seams by pipes, burn- ing the coal and transforming it into gas while still in the bowels of the earth. If this can be done there seems no reason to doubt the truth of further statement thati with this system adopted, all railways will be driven by electricity, that the same agency will be used for lighting and heating, and that the only case in which fuel will be required will be for the driving of ships, and this fuel can be provided in the form of oil. the water, and the rescuers swore he had been drinking.
