An enemy of the Hyd"o-El-ectric would searcely have called attention to this feature of 1:111 situation. Why should Mr. Sterling be censured for pointing out that the stores account is in a tangle ? The Commission admits that it is, and that the tangle is being straighten- ed out. The alleged overstafiing of the enterprise is another matter as to which Mr. Sterling, a practiCaI of- fice man of long experience, is un- questionably a good judge. Tlhere is evidence in Mr. Sterling’s report as to the need for frank dis- cussion of the entire situation. It must be remembered that not one citizen in four is a consumer of elec- tric light for household lighting. The man who burns, gas or coal oil can- not be expected to dip his hand into his pocket and pay taxes so that electric light may be furmshed to the well-to-do at less than cost. The business therefore must be made to pay its own way. Now let us see what the outstanding facts are. What must Toronto pay to keep the sys- Total outgo ..................... $908 500 The income for the halt year end- ing June, 1912, was $297,162, of which $93,000 was from private light and power consumers. Mayor Geary indicates that there has been a maâ€" terial gain in this department since the month of June, but he gives no figures as to the total Volume of business. There Can be no marked ex- pansion in the revenue from street lighting or the pumping of the wa- ter supply. The yearly revenue from street lighting will be about $250,000 and from power for pumping and oth- er civic purposes $120,000, so that to the expansion of the private lighting and power demand the Commission must look for the $300,000 required to balance the account during 1913. On the figures presented by Mr. Ster- ling there is evident need for strict economy, for a vigorous campaign to Wages and Interest ........................... we have an operating outgo at the rate of $426,000 a year. Mr. Sterling estimates that by the end of this year the Commission will have spent practically all of the $4,950,000 au- thorized by the people for the con- struction of the system, and the fixed' charges thereafter required to be met out of earnings will be $198,000 per year for interest and $70,000 for sinkâ€" ing fund. In the rough the three prinâ€" cipgl items of expenditure for next year’s business are:â€" tem going ? It was reported the othâ€" er day that the city was consuming 13,000 horsepower. At $16.50 per horsepower this would give the sum of $214,500 for current. The operat- ing cost for wages and material for the half year ending June, 1912, was $213,000 in round figures. Here, then, secure a larger share of the private ligr’mg and power business, and, if the civic car lines are to be directly operated, for the application to them of the city’s electric power. There is nothing seriously wrong with Hydro finances to date. The cheapening of the cost of electric en- ergy has justified all the efiorts made by the citizens. But it is quite evident from Mr. Sterling’s figures that a very material expansion of business must be secured before the system will be in a position to meet the necessarily heavy fixed charges incurred in building a. modern com- peting plant. The battle of compe- tibion with the Mackenzie interests is not won. It is only bezinninz.â€"Globe. “The late member, Robert Suther- land, was a. man of exceptional po- pularity, and he was aided in his campaign of last December by a split in the Conservative party in the ridâ€" ing, some of the most influential Conservatives being his most active supporters.

A PRELIMINARY SKIRMISK “I went into the campaign not primarily to win, but to force to the front a great issue, and to corn- pel the Government to take a stand. This I have done. This contest, while important, was only a. preliminary skirmish. It has developed the posi- tion of the enemy.

The banish the bar policy will yet be accepted by the people of this province. The battle has on- ly begun. Colonel Roosevelt’s popularity ap- pears to have been considerably inâ€" creased among certain elements in the United States by his courageous, if somewhat theatrical. conduct after the attempt to assassinate him. It is no fault of the Colonel that a de- spicable attempt was made upon his life, and for the good courage he displayed he is entitled to due cre- dit. Many will forgive him, even if they believe he was somewhat quick to take advantage of his approach to martyrdom; but it would appear that the political tide is setting too strongly against him to permit him to hope with reason for success on November 5. These are in the United States too up”: voters who believe with Job Hedges: in the Square deal, but who, like Job, do not believe “in one man dealing all the time." The result is not surprising. The Liberals had not placed a candidate of their own party in the field, and lukewarm support only was given to the Independent candidate, who had favored the banish the bar policy, but who had a liquor-favoring re- cord. 0n the other hand the Govern- ment flooded the riding with its cab- inee ministers and stump speakers, and hand in. hand with the liquor inâ€" terests used fair and foul means in order to win. As a result of these desperate effortsâ€"of this unholy al- liance, the Whitney Government was only able to win out by a minority equal to that obtained in the gener- al election of 1908. Mrs. J. Stephenson, and children'of Port Hope, are visiting in town. “A preliminary skirmish” is what Mr. N. W. Rowen, the Liberal leader, characterized the contest in East Middlesex on Monday, in which Mr. Neely, Conservative candidate, de- feated Wm Sutherland, Independent, by 540 votes.

OUTLOOK IS GOOD EAST MIDDLESEX A Winnipeg man writes to a Con- servative newspaper in Ottawa as follows: I see you have concluded, as will all the East, that the Macdonald election has minimized the cry for reciprocity. This is not so. The well informed Conservatives of the West will tell you that. If the East thinks reciprocity was buried they will dis- cover that it was buried aJive. I am an open-minded person on the advant- ages of reciprocity, and have a ’ se- cret fear of its results that I have not yet seen in print, but they have no tears in the West.

About 40 men will be employ- ed, and 800. or 1,000 cars of lumber will be handled in a year. A part of the old icehouse will be used in con- struction.

If he can delay any general encounter with the Bulgarians till he can bring up his reserves, including the Anatol- ian corps, he will be able to present an army of such magnitude that the allies may beat against it in vain. Herein lies the value of Adrianopleâ€" a fortified position of such strength that it could stand a long siege, and the Bulgarians would not dare to penetrate far into Thrace, leaving such a garrisoned post in the rear. reepondent, writing just before the beginning of hostilities, said: “Will she maintain a strict neutrality. or will she mobilize all her forces to paralyze Bulgarign action ? She may conceivably take the latter course, though with reluctance, should a re- quest to that efiect be addressed to her from the ctn‘ral powers. But that such a request wouldlbe made is in the highest degree improbableâ€" If the Turkish forces can hold Uekup, thus barring the way into Macedonia, and at the same time hold Adrianople, the key to Thrace, they will be able to make a. very good showing, later if not sooner, against all the regular or irregular levies the allies can pour into those provinces from this time forward. Ere long winter will render move- ments almost impossible in the mountain passes. Partly for this rea- son, and partly because Turkey has everything to gain by delay, Bul- garia has been anxious to hasten the beginning oi hostilities. If a. decisive battle were fought within the next few days, say in the neighborhood of Adrianople, the great European powâ€" ers, whatever the result, might find the moment opportune to step in and call a. halt. One pitched battle might give either side such an advantage as to render further lighting a use- less efiusion of blood, and all parties might be glad to have the whole af- fair settled by a tr,‘ce and another recourse to diplomacy. In such an event, Great Britain will be expected to take a leading hand. And yet Sir Edward Grey well knows the danger of threatening intervention with mt an ample army at his back ready to move at a moment's notice, which Great Britain is ill able to spare for foreign service. Moral influence he has in plenty, ,but in bringing to bear anything further, be can only act with the hearty concurrence of the powers that maintain immense standing armies, such as Germany and Russia.
