It merely reiterates with added strength the opinions expressed in public by Opposition speakers. But the statements of the report are so ; vigorous, and come from such an un- iexpected ofiicial source, that the ostriches are compelled to lift their heads. There has been something to ‘ conceal: woeful and ignorant blunder ling, stupid and careless accounting, I the purchase of supplies without ten- !der and at extravagant prices, the jfattening of political parasites at the :expense of the country, graft in a ihundred styles, influence and pull in Etheir most highly developed forms. 1 All these things are uncovered by Mr. lCourtney and his courageous associ- Eates. Even Liberal members of Par- ; liament must look now. to the party and the Government. Newspapers favorable to the Adminis- tration have complsined of a. “ cam- paign of slander,” and have roundly asserted that the public business was omy. One journal said that Liberal members were not trying to conceal anything, because there was “nothing to conceal.” Ostriches stick their heads in the sand and believe they are invisible. Some politicians and poli- tical organs in this country have been playing ostrich. Because they did not want to see anything improper, there- fore, the public business was every- A very pretty wedding was solemn- ized from the home of the bride’s sister, Mrs. Coutts Bain. 716 Bathurst street, at Old St. Andrew’s church, by the Rev. Dr. Milligan, when Miss Jessie A. Coutts was married to Mr. John ‘1. Innes. Newborough, Aber- "dee 1sh11 e. Scotland. The bride’s dress I was of chiffon taffeta with sprays of roses trimmed with princess lace. I The \ eil was embroider ed with Duch- I ess braid and draped over a w1eath of Iorange blossoms. She ca1ried a Ibouquet of bridal roses and lillies of ‘lthe \alley. The bride was attended by her sister who was diessed 111 a Ilight blue silk princess dress and 11 Il .11 we white picture hat trimmed with i plumes, and carried a bouquet of pink thing that desire. And it is all blamed on Mr. Prefon- taine, despite the fact that, Mr, Brod- em- has been in charge for two years. A man with a desire to make a change could have cleaned up that Depart- ment in three months if he had the will. But there Was so much pol- itics mixed up in the transactions, so many party friends would have been hurt, that the Minister did not have backbone enough to begin. If ever a. conrrete example of the evils of pat- ronage were provided it has been pro- vided by the Department of Marine and Fisheries. The interference of political personages of greater or less importance has driven the service to the dogs, and it is time the whole dirty business was cleansed out for. evm'.

In an editorial from the Toronto News, reproduced in this issue, the editor expresses as his opinion that the Civil Service Commission found the Government at Ottawa had “Something to Conceal.” He enum- erates the “something” as follows: W'oeful and ignorant blundering. Stupid and careless accounting. The purchase of supplies Without tender and at extravagant prices. The fattening of political parasites at the expense of the country. Graft in a hundred styles. Influence and Pull in the most high- ly developed forms. Not a. bad list of charges by a man who at one time admired the Liberal Government at Ottawa. It isn’t a bad Sign, however, to see. a growing spirit of political independence. ANOTHER WORD TO ADVER- TISERS. Last week we said we wanted busi- ness men to advertise and wished them to profit by advertising. \Ve referred to the necessity of put- ting thought into the preparation of their ads. and givingr in their copy in time each week so as to give the com- positor a chance to make a catchy job in setting it up. A merchant should talk plainly and honestly about what he has to sell, but it isn’t well to say too much. He knows better than anybody else the goods he has to offer, and for this reason he should prepare the ads. or superintend them when being prepar- ed, unless he has a professional ad. Writer, who knows all about the busi- ness just as well as the merchant himself. Ad. writers of this class are expensive and out of reach of the country merchant. who, in their ab- sence, is forced to do the work himself. 1 The wide-awake druggist will adver- l i tise P111 1s G1 een about the time Potato l . Bugs begin to 111111cl1. and othe1 1! E insecticides at the propei season. Of :course he must know the times and l the seasons and act accordingly. It. 1 isn’t wise to advettise eve1} thing in l each issue. One or two articles a week b1 ought pioniinently before the public with bxief refe1ence or a 111ere111en ion . of a few others will be quite sufficient. iQuoting prices seems a good way of arresting public attention. and 8V1- 4 dertly a good kind of advertising if it idoesn’ t 1esult in jealous rivalry and 15mnetimes dishonesty in the cutting of piices. There is a “living profit” to which every dealer is entitled, and lthere is a “killing profit” that will l ultimately work its own cure. Advertising to be effective should be seasonahle. It’s out of place to adver- tise Christmas Groceries in July, or Fancy Shirt \Vaists in the middle of February. Such :ulvertising is not only out of place. but useless, and it’s the merchant’s business to see that it doesn’t, occur. “'hereVer possible, anticipate the wants of the public and throw out a. seasonable article as a. leader. Machine-made advertising. prepared by some advertising artist in New York, Boston, Philadelphia or Chicago is very little good for a. business man in Durham. The ad. writer in such cases never saw the inside 0: the st are he is writing about. He knows less, if possible, about the existing condi- tions and the public requirements than he does about the goods he professes to talk about, and for the plain simple reason that he knows nothing of value l he is groping in the dark and trying to make the advertiser believe he is getting value for his money.
