The great question for our Gov- crnment now is immigration. It. ought to have beer taken up long ago; warnings were not wanting; but the common notion that increase cf population always means prosperity prevailed, and the inrush was greet- ed with exultation. The action of the Salvation Anmy, benevolent as we doubt not is the intention, is giving reasonable cause for misgiv- ing. Great good has unquestionably been done by the Army in its own line. But the line which it is now taking cain hardly ba said to be its own while the scale on which it op- erates, under present circumstances, may render a false step very fatal. The intention, it seems, is to forward ull these immigrants to the North- West. This is well If they were to linger and displace our own farm hands, we should hardly have reason to be grateful. Our rule of immigra- tion is strange, We afré admitting a horde of stabbing Italians while we men. Let us look to our justice Question Annual Horse Sale ! Wim.

Every School Must be Saved Philadelphia Telegraph. It is so customary after a holo- caust for a community to momen- tarily clamor for protective measures and then to fall into inaction 'that tha present earnest effort of the aji- thoritiea in, systematically proceeding td guard the lives of the children in our schools from fire is a necessary and a prompt recognition of their responsibility. At whatever cost of money and labor the work should be recognized as an imperative duty nor cease umtil every schoolhouse shall bo provided with every needful safety appliance. 'This is an undertaking which must must not be delayed by any financial consideration. What Sort of economy will it be to stint needful expenditure and satrifice even end life that is passed into the muni- cipality ? 4 Pelee _------_.-- The surden of Militarism William Canby Ferris in the New York Outlook; Taxes in waj-cursed {taly amount to thirty per cent, of to tal incomes and the Italians are flee- ing from:the land they love as though it were infested with pes- tilence. 'The Russian peasant is of- ten called-upon to pay two-thirds of all he cam earn and life in that cou1- try has become a burden to the low- er classes. Even in England which overflows with wealth drawn from all over the world the rate of tax- ation has become an almost unbear- able burden; and in the United States the rate of taxation is constantly rising all for the simple reason that nations seek security in the way by which it never comes--by inspiring their neighbors with terror and fear instead of with confidence and love Tho time has come for national for- gotten by those who believe in the brotherhood of humanity. The Parliamentary Barber The Parliamentary barber at Ot- tawa is always a French-Canadicn. In! the Conservative days he was Na- poleom Audette who used to boast of knowing more of what was going to happen as a result of his conver- sations with 'John A." while the chieftainf was in the chair than did many of the Premier's colleagues. But with! the passing of the Conservajtive Government went Napoleon's sceptre and he has since been succeeded by J. F. St Louis who is as ardent a Liberal as Napoleon used to be a Conservative having, in fact, bap- tized his boy "Wilfrid Laurier St. Louis" in the days when it was un- wisa to be a Liberal in Ottawa. Now St. Louis is a diplomat al- though or, perhaps, beeajyse, he is a barber > amd while he has his opinions upon political aiffairs he does 'not voica them at untowaird \seasons. But there are occasions when even so quiet a man as St. Louis is stirred up to the defence of "the cause." One of these came the other day when "Billy" Bennett the redoubtable gladiator from East Simcoe was in the barber's shop. He was rallying St. Louis upon the result of the cam paign in New Brunswick and told bim that he had better prepare to "get out" next year. "7, don't think so" was St. Louis's reply. 'The result in New Brunswick may be of importance but instead of Laurier being good for fifteen years more he may be good only for ten. That's enough for me." some Changes in Law Wher the Bill respecting the elee- tions of members to the Legislative Assembly was going through the Housa on Tuesday the member for Centra Bruce objected to the disfranch isement of hundreds of electors who ga from gne riding to another imme- diately before elections. For instance aj map goes from Kincardine to live in} Toronto three months before clee- tion. He can become registered and vote. But if he goes from Toronto to Kincardine he is too late to get His namo on the voter's list and is there- fore disfranchised. Last session ex- ceptions were made to protect the franchised of clergymen and teachers. Mr. Clark claimed the same protection should be given to any other voter. Ho should be allowed to return to tho riding in which his name is enter- ed as a voter. Neither party was desirous of so amending' it possibly to avoid the expense of transporta- tion of voters and it wags allowed to stand als jt was. When the clauses with respect to tha payment of livery horses on elec- tion) day were up Mr. Smith of the Soo Hom A. G MacKay and Mr. Clark of Bruee, expressed the view that the payment of the regular tar- iff for livery rigs om election 'day should be made legal, and the At- torney General held it ever for ad- visement. " : For many yealrs the Ontario govern- ment saddled on the municipallities tho cost of polling booths used -in provineéial elections. On Mairch | 8rd when the bill respecting provincial electiond was going through commit- tee Mr. Foy amended it so that tha government. will pay all its own election expenses instead of sndd- ling a portion upon the municipalli- ties. It does not amount to a gkeat deal--only $16 in Kinealrdine ; Kincar- dina Tp. $20; Huron Tp. $24; Green- 6ck $28; Elderslic $20; Chesley $8; Paisley $8 but it amounts to over $15 000 all over the province. There never was alny reason why the pro- vines should have asked municipal councila to bear any such expense. | i ee | Pa~Yes, my son, mushrooms near- always grow in wet places.
