GOlNG DATES “imam St. 05” for mineâ€"owners. The investiga- tion will, it is said, be thorough, and may profitably be watched by Ca- nadians. It will perhaps, reveal the means by which the coal trust has reached an adVance in price three times larger than the excuse they give warrants; but it will not reveal the accretions in. price that comes to our coal after it crosses the border. This contains an important element of interest to the Canadian consum- er, who perhaps stands in some dan- ger of sufiering from a double price- raising combination. tion to is the liquor question. “We want a. sober race of men," they say and they are are setting about the task of getting soberer men by pro- posing the following regulations: No saloons to be open after 6 p. m. No treating. No thirst accelerators as part of the free lunch. Women in Los Angel-es, Califorma, now have the franchise and the first thing they are turning their attenâ€" probably be enforced: the last two will present great difficulties unless the women station a. detective in ev- ery saloon in the city. . Only one drink at the lunch hour. The Kingston Standard in com- menting on the campaign, says: The Women and children are the inno- cent suflerers from excessive use of intoxicants and it is little wonder that when women get the franchise they will turn their attention first to this great social evil of drunkenness.

But even at eleven, it will in- volve a. loss of sixteen government “That majority, at present. count- ing every available vote, is forty- nine. By the coming changes in Que- bec alone it will thus be reduced to seats and a corresponding Liberal gain, or a reduction of thirty-two in Mr. Borden’s majority. The Halifax Chronicle, which pre- dicts a victory for the Liberals in the next Federal contest, is publish- ing some figures in support of its view. The Chronicle says in part: “The Loyalistâ€"Nationalist aggrega- tion now has twenty-seven followers in Parliament frOm Quebec to thir- ty-eight Liberals. In the last Parlia- ment Sir Wilfrid Laurier had fifty- four supporters to eleven opponents from that province. That Quebec has definitely returned to its Laurier allegiance is as certain as anything political can be.

In the present Parliament there are sev- enty-two Conservatives from that province to fourteen Liberals. The means by which this change was brought about are well known, and need not be specifiedagain. Their po- tency has been exhausted forever.” The Chronicle points out that there is'a generally admitted reaction in Ontario, and it says that it is not to be doubted that more than nine seats will be changed in that pro- vince in favor of Sir Wilfrid Laurier in the next contest. It contends that the Conservatives cannot well hope to carry more than fiity-one seats out of the eighty-three wnich Ontario will have after redistribution. This, with the change in Quebec, will be more than» enough to defeat the Borden government. The Chronicle says Mr. Bord-en is likely-to lose ra- ther than gain in the Maritime Pro- vince, and to lose heavily in the West with the exception of British Columbia. As the Chronicle expresses it: “But Quebec and Ontario by themselves can and most certainly will defeat him. The other provinces â€"leaving out British Columbiaâ€"will help to make the defeat smashing.” The Lloyd-George budget that was to disorganize business and still fail to provide revenue enough to pay the enormous expenses ofi government has disappointed the prophets of dis- aster. The Conservative Ottawa Ci- tizen, recalling some of the things the.Unionist press said about Lloyd George finance a. year or two ago, examines the situation as it is to- stand the figures showing expansion of 'business and an almost unheard of surplus in the treasury over all expenditure. It is no wonder that the people of Great Britain, and especial- ly the radicals supporting the preâ€" isent government, are strong for land ; reform.’ It is perhaps worthy of remark, lsays the St. John Telegraph, that inOne of the rocks upon which the As- quith government wasâ€"according to opposing newspapersâ€"perfectly cer- tain to be wrecked, turned out very formidable when the ship of state got up to them. A: dozen acts of Mr. Lloyd George have in turn been deâ€" scribed as bound to prove fatal to him and the administration. But both are thriving, and likely to thrive. I" .- day, concluding with; this striking summary: “The defenders of the House of Lords declared that the rand value tax of the: famous Lloyd George budget, a triflingnthing in itself, was but the beginning and that heavier and heavier burdens would be laid upon the landlords. And everybody knew that they were right. And the jubilant. hard-hitting land-value taxâ€" ers, declared they were certainly right, and that the fight against land monopoly was just beginning. The prophecy so strongly made by both sides seems to be~tu1filled. But other prophecies have been completely fal- sified. The apologists of landâ€"lordiem predicted that the encroachments upon.- the so-called rights of the land- iords wouI'd drive out oapital. de- moralize trade and empty the public exchequer. Against the prophecies Canada is becoming a bit weary of gentlemen from other parts of the Empire who harp upOn the necessity for proving, testing, guarding, or inâ€" creasing the loyalty of the people of the Dominion. We have had some ex- perience with visitors of this sort in Eastern Canada, and now the Vic- toria. Colonist tells of a visit two of them made to British Columbia. The Colonist says: “We had a visit not .long ago from age of the diseas two English neWSPapel‘ free lances. ed from the eati Their business was writing and they carelessly handle wrote whatever was required of them. Shatham Planet. LLGYD GEORGE’S SUCCESS PRESUMING ViSlTORS Both of them were on the .same mis- sionâ€"we shall not name them, al- though if we did thousands of peo- ple would recognize them. Each of them had the impudence to tell the Colonist that they had come 6 out here to see what could be done to keep Canadians loyal, and both of them were told that they 'were impu- dent fellows. Lord Milner came here a year or so ago on a tour of ob- servation. He had altogether too much sense to endeavor to instruct the people of the Dominion in pat- riotism or anything else, yet when he got hOme an absurd newspaper writer wrote of him as “returning after a tour demted to stimulating the wavering loyalty of the Canadian people.’ ” The Colonist cites an incident' in owe their singular effectiveness in cuting Rheumatism, Lumbago was 5021th to their power of stimulati 3-; and strengthening the kidneys. Tl! rj' enable these organs to thorOughly filter from the blood the uric acid (the product of waste matter) which gets‘into the joints and muscles and causes these painful diseases. Over' half a century of constant use has {£0th conclusively that Dr. Morse's ndian Root Pills strengthen weal: kidneys and 41 Cure Rheumatism the wavering loyalty of the Canadian people.’ " The Colonist cites an incident' in the history of New Brunswick as one of many indications that the loyalty of this country ought to be regarded as beyond question. “Nearly half a century has passed," it says “sinCe the speaker of the legislature of New Brunswick read to the House a deâ€" spatch stating that the British mail steamer Trent had beeu‘seized upon the high seas and that war was imâ€" minent. Thereupon the leader of the government arose and after asking a. suspension of the rules, moved tdat a humble address be presented to her Majesty informing her that all the revenues of the province'were at her disposal, if War Could not be avoid- edjThe leader of the opposition sec- onded the motion, which was carried unanimously. There were no speeches, unanimously. There were no speeches, no demonstration. It was a simple act of duty, done as a matter of course.’ ’ The Colonist rightly asks: Do the descendants of such men need any- one to teach them how to- be loyal ? They are loyal to Canada, and be- cause they are loyal to Canada they are loyal to the Empire and the flag. They are loyal‘ to the King because he is the representative of the Em- pire and the flag, and they do not need any globe trotters to teach them how to he‘loyal‘. THE HOUSEWIFE AND DIRTY GROCER The campaign against the exposure of food to flies. is one which will have the fullest sympathy oi all fas- tidious and informed people. Food is superlatively the one thing, which should be kept conspicuously clean; for ,food goes into the mouth- Yet merchants will expose foods which are to be eaten rawâ€"such as fruits-â€" In Toronto at present there is a Dublicity Campaign on against the grocers a: d all sellers of catables for exposing their goods to the contam- inatiOn of the street. It is a cam- paign that might profitably be exâ€" tended to other cities. One of the greatest complaints is in reference to the way in which bread is handled. Bread is a staple food, used by ev- eryone, and it is very important that it should be guarded from uncleanli- ness. It has been suggested that all bread should be wrapped in paper, but it is stiu being peddled around the streets exposed to dust and dis- ease germsJIf it were possible to se- cure the statistics, it would undou'b‘t: edly be found that a large percent- age of the diseases of men are caus- ed from the eating of impure foods, carelessly handled and delivered. â€" on the open street, where they are accessible to every passing fly and the convenient lodging place of all the dust of the pavement) If we dropped a. strawberry on the side- walk, we sould not eat it; but if we drop the sidewalk on the strawberry we buy it and take it home to the babies.-â€"â€"Montreal Star. [HE LINDS‘A’ Lindsay The recently issued census reports place Canada among }the countries in which the male inhabitants exceed the female in number. 0! the 7,204,- 838 people held to be living in the country last year 3,821,067 were mal- es and 3,383,771 females, an excess of the former of $437,296. The figures by Provinces are as follows: Males Females Alberta ............ 223,989 150,674 British Columbia . 251,619 140,861 Manitoba ............ 250,056 205,558 New Brunswick 179,867 172,022 Nova.

Manitoba ............ New Brunswick . . Nova. Scotia. ....... no Province in which the females are in excess. The situatron, as regards the Dominion as a whole, is not a new one. The census of 1901 showed "The Liberal party stands for Wid- er markets. I go a little further. In the resolution in connection with the Lsubject of reciprocity, which Was adopted unanimously by our assemâ€" bly in March, 1911, there were other clauses, and one clause advocated a substantial increase in the British preference, Now, I have to say that the Liberal government and the Lib- .eral party stand with regard to, the matter of the increase of the Brit- ish preference just where we, stood in 1911. We stand for wider markets, for a substantial increase in. the British preference, with the end ultimately of obtaining Free Trade from one end Ito the other of the British Empire." an enema of females over males of 132,101, and back to 1871 the Census- es showed lesser, but growing excessâ€" es, all being put into the background by the record of last year. .Speaking at Regina on June 24 last, Hon. Walter Scott, premier of Saskatchewan, said: ’has been able to cure, and that is catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the Lmedicinal fraternity. Catarrh being a gconstitutional disease, requires a con- stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting di- 1rectly upon the blood and mucous surfiaces of the system, thereby de- stroying the foundation of the dis- ease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

Some Conservative reviewers are attempting to show that, inasmuch as the Saskatchewan legislature has no (legislative power in respect of the tarifi, the recent Liberal victory in that province is without Federal sigâ€" nificance. But, on the very eve of election, Hon. Mr. Scott made the declaration of principles we have quoted, and on a hundred platforms during the campaign, Liberal speakers advocated the policy of wider mar- kets and of an increase in the British presence. Mr. Haultain, on: the other hand, directly allied himself with the Federal Conservative party, and Hon Mr. Rogers and other speakers, and the Conservative press generally, urg- ed the electors to support Mr. Haul- tain and thus strengthen the hand of ‘Mr. Borden at Ottawa.
