ID That eighty-seven members out 0? one hundred and six is a strong majority in the local legislature. of Sir James Whitney, everybcdv will admit. Some say it is too strong, but Why so? There is no such thing as a Government nr party being too strong, if it ad- ministers the affairs of the coun- try honestly and well. and does not take advantage 'o»f its great numerical strength. Conservati’s’e'c'f in this province feel proud of thei way in which affairs have been? conducted under the present: Premier. They know, and Sir: James 'hitney knows that gov-g ernments, as Well as individuals? are liable to make mistakes at: some time, but even the Liberals.l in their saner moments of political . reflection, can find very little realf fault with the Whitney Govern-: ment of the last seven years. The} tendency of the office seeker at: election time, is to magnify mole: hills into mountains, and that‘s; what some of the Liberal candi-g dates are now trying to do, but? the absence of scandals and cor-ii rupt practices reduces the plea to the one popular cry that the ma- jority of seventy is altogether tool I large, and it should be reduced by all means. During the last eight or ten years of the Ross Government, the two parties in the House were al- most equally divided. At one time the majority was so small that debates had to be prolonged before taking the vote, in order to gather in the Whole Liberal for‘ ces, and save the Government on a partyyvote. Under such conditions of equally divided parties, did we ave the :best possible kind :ocf ad- ministration? The time is mot long past. and many can remember the condition of things in the dying years of the old Liberal Govern- ment in Ontario. “’e are not going to blame Mr. Ross for the awful politicAl condi- tion of things during the dying years of his administration, but surely the parties were equally enough divided to give good honest government, if equality of WWW DQI‘UES matter Sir James Whitney went into power uith a majority of about fort} and during the first three 3ears or more of his administra- tion xx ith w hat We would all re- TPF VFTTFIY GOVFBFUFNT penditures have been very much higher than formerly, but they 5a).; and the electors know, that the; money has game back to the pen-1 ple of the province to support edâ€"! ucational and agricultural institu- tions to reduce a burden of tax- ation that would otherwise have to be provided for in a more di- rect Way. {HE DURHAM CHRONICLE fTPPl‘N.

He knew Inspector Campbell for a long time, and was always willing to accept his opinion without any reluctance. He referred early in his address with much pathos to the character of the pledge given by Scottish parents in regard to the education of their children. Success was measured by financial rather than by educational progress. He de- plored the position taken by a certain gentleman, whose name he would not give, on his ground that the poorer classes shouli not Ibe educated, so as to cause a amingling of the castes. The sons :of the poorer classes are the suc- ; cessful victors in the various kinds 'of athletic games. The doctors gave me up to die as the stomach trouble produced heart weak- ness and I was frequently unconscious. I received the Last Rites Of The Church. At this time, a lady strongly urged me to try ‘Fruit-a-tives’. When I had taken one box, I was much better and after three boxes, I was practically well again, and had gained 20 pounds.

It had a wide area on all sides of it, and in this respect Was unlike his own town of Whitby, where. the Lake on one side, and rival towns near by, shut off the chances for sup- port o-f such educational institu- tions. Yet Whitby, with» a tax rate of thirty mills on the dollar, was preparing to build a High school at a cost of $25,000. He also stated that in Whitby the property was assessed at its full realty value. DUFHAM NEEDS NEW SCHOOL He thought it was well to keep the boys and girls \at home. Both are injured by being sent away from home influences and home surroundings. Fmi'fifi fig-es” Saved my Life Commercially, he thought it could be figured «out that such a school as we have here is worth $8000 annually. The separation of the Continua- tion school from the Public school meant an increased Government grant. There were also moral ad- vantages in having the SChOjO'lS separate. As to the cost of a building properly equipped, he would place an estimate of about $12,000. It might be done for $10,000. This would mean about a 2-mill in- crease in the tax rate on a 20- year debenture. He also showed that the Continuationschool, ex- cept for maintenance, Was mot very heavy on the town directly. In Durham, the teachers’ salaries a- mount to $2400, While the grants and fees received total up to more than $2100. In concluding, he characterized the Science department of our school as Wholly inadequate, and incapable of producing the best results. o. .01: 4 c“~.o.o loco“... no. 0J0.” COMIC Hofv+0v+++++QMOQMOQH 0' 0b.. ”OOHOOHooub lHOQHSQHION OQMOOWSQMOO:O+'6+'MOQMOOWO+OMOOOWO VVVWVVVVVVKMVVV @‘VVVVM’V' V54 2 ’ VWVVVVVVV'V *JVVVV \ '3 v‘ '4' v’VVVH’ 5: The Least Fuel, The Most Satisfaction NAAA l. g The William Buck’smve Co.
