He could talk by the hour and produce mauusori?t. by the ream, replete with arâ€" guments in favor of his contention.

The Death of James Conmee. The death after a long illness of James Conmes, of Thunder Bay district, removes from the public life of Canada a remarkâ€" able figure. For many years he was promâ€" inent in the Ontario Legislature, but about the time the fortunes of the Liberal party were waning in that body, he was reâ€" moved to a new ephere of activity in Otâ€" tawa. For any lack of advantages in early life, Mr. Conmeo amply made up by an unusual ehrewdness and remarkable force of character. He was a born fighter. In later years no antagonist lightly enâ€" tered with him in any battle of wits.. Tradition recalle stories, probably apoâ€" cryphal, of the experiences of Conmee, as a youth, in the. American Civil War. Of his career in Northern Ontario, with which he was identified from the early days, there are also many stories, many doubtâ€" less also apocryphal, others resting.on a basis of truth. It is eaid, for example, that as fate would have it, shortly after Mr. Conmee had been made a Justice of the Peace, there was brought before him on some trivial charge a former personal antagonist. The story goes that the new J.P., with great enthusiasm, epent days conning the Statutes of Ontario which came to him with the office, in an effort to discover if a J. P. had power to inflict the sentence of hanging. Labor Party Dsclining? Critical observers report that the Labor Political Party, which with meteoric swiftâ€" ness flashed into the firmament of British politice in the famous election of 1906, is making no progress. It is said, on the contrary, that its influence and power are actually on the wane and that, while there are still some forty membere of the House who eubscribe themselyes as members of the Labor Party, the time is within measâ€" urable distance when the Parliamentary Labor Party will practically disappear.. This, if true, will be & shock to those who hoped for the day when Laborites, conâ€" trolling a majority in the Commons, would actually be responsible for the laws of the land. s £ 2 se There is no doubt that so _far the inâ€" fluence or legielation of the Labor Party has been disappointing. It is doubtful if, since 1906, there has been placed on the Statute Books one pieceo of legislation which could not, probably would not, have been put there by the Government unâ€" supported altogether by its Labor allies. Not Through Parliament. Besides, there are arising grave doubts In the minds of labor as to whether Parâ€" liamentary endeavor furnishes the line along which it can most easily secure the things it wants, namely, higher wages, shorter hours, and better conditions of labor. It is doubted if, in the great teâ€" cent struggles in the railway and coal and other disputes, the Parliamentary Party has been any strength whatever to the labor cause. Some say it has been an actual weakness. There has been a disâ€" persion of energy, at least.. = ho on hn oee ts en en e t Parliaments are conservative and are so bound about by forms and procedure and interests that they furnish a moderately glow way of securing certain kinds of reâ€" form. This is but to say that reform must come from the people, that it results only from the pressure of public opinion. Parâ€" ticularly for social reforms such as are desired by labor it has become a question if more eubstantial progress will not be effected by the efforts of the Trades Union organizations acting directly in the interâ€" ests affected than by attempts to control‘ unwieldy Parliaments. ‘ Lesson For Suffragists. ‘ Similarly some students of the Women‘s Suffrage Movement are convinced that there are many methods of influence other than the vote which offer‘ much easier Teâ€" sulte to the Suffragisten Apart from the abstract claim of equality with males, the only ground for advocating votes for woâ€" men is the influence the new voters would have on legielation _ Whether a say in the selection of Parliaments is the most effective way of influencing such legislaâ€" tion seems to be a question. The experâ€" ience of the Labor Movement in this reâ€" gard will be interesting to the Suffragists. Where Labor Rules. In Australia and New Zealand they are doing things differently. In politics, there, Labor has things its own way. True, the Labor Government in Australia has just been evicted from power by a narrow maâ€" jority, but it is succeeded by a Governâ€" ment which is said to be scarcely lese Radical. Governments do things as a matâ€" ter of course in Australia that would be regarded as tank Socialism here or in i Europe. 3 6 One may have been eurprised to observe that it was the Labor Government in Ausâ€" tralia which inaugurated. compulsory military training and which began the establishment of a navy, for in these parts labor unions are generally in the foreâ€" front of peace celebrations. The explanâ€" ation is that the Labor Party came into power on the ory of a "white Australia"; they want no immigrants from China or Jaga.n or India. To be consistent the Labor Party in power had to provide the means by which a "white Australia" could be maintained. Compulsory military trainâ€" ing and a nayy were the sequel. Bimilarly the party which in opposition had opposed lmmiT.ra,tion and was indifferent to Imâ€" perialism, quickly recognized in office that development of the country. depended on new settlers and that the maintenance of the Empire was necessary at least for many yeare to come to the very existâ€" ence of a white Australia. Hence the agâ€" gressive immigration policy and the Imâ€" perialism which marked the Fisher rteâ€" gime. No Election In Sight. Any talk there was of a general Dominâ€" ion election this fall has passed away. There is now no sign of Parliament being terminated apy time before it has run ite natural epan. This will give time for poliâ€" cles and opinions on the many sided navy issue to cryetallize into definite shape. Down in the Eastern Provinces the Inâ€" tercolonial Railway has again developed into a considerable political issue. The emplotges are asking more pay and merâ€" chantd and other shippers are complainâ€" ing of increased freight charges. GOMMENT 0X FYENTS Naturally F. P. Guteliug, the railway exâ€" pert who was not long ago placed in charge of the line, and who is paid $20,000 a year to run it on a business basis, does not always see eye to eye with the road‘s customere, who have, however, always the right to appeal direct to the Government, a privilege which they are not slow to take advantage of. Financlal Outlook Better. The other day an advertisement for two upekilled laborers in Toronto produced 150 able bodied men applying for work. The incident inspires speculation as to what the condition of the labor market will be in the dull season next winter. Reports, too, from some of the moge pronouncedly boooga centers of the weet are not any too good. _ The figures are as follows, the columns showing, first, the number A despatch from Toronto says : The number of cases of death from communicable diseases for the Proâ€" vince of Ontario during the month of July have been given out by the Provincial Health Department, and show a slight increase over last year, though deaths from diseases other than tuberculosis nearly all present a satisfactory falling off.. At the same time, during the past month there has been a distinct improvement in sentiment as to the financial outlook. Many well informed commercial experts now look for no serious effects to follow the money stringency and expect that the country‘s remarkable development will continue without abatement. _ There is, however, little possibility of the money tightness letting up for the next . foew months. Revelations by Mulhall, selfâ€"confessed | lobbyist, have come as something of & shock to American political circlesâ€"which j are not easily shockedâ€"and have aroused an animated discussion as to the Whnle! businessâ€"or professionâ€"of lobbying.
