McCausland, Conservative M.P.P. for Southwest Toronto, interviewed at Montreal on Saturday, de- clared that he had no doubt in his own mind that by “Christmas of next year Ontario will have a sane li- quor law such as Quebec has." He supplemented his remark with the assertion that the Hon. Howard Fer- guson, Ontario’s new Premier, was pOpular through the province and that he (McCausland) had every confidence that Mr. Ferguson would use the excellent judgment he always had exercised and give. the people what they wanted. l7nt'ortunately for the Conservative party, and un- fortunately for Premier Ferguson, there are in the Provincial Legislature many “wet" members whose enthusiasm runs away with their good sense. As a representative from Southwest Toronto, we would eredit Mr. MeCausland with more sense than to make a remark like he is credited with. At any I’aitk, we are positive that Premier Ferguson has too murh good sense than to monkey with the huzz-saw on no more authority than the idle expressions of a few “wet" ad- voeates. To be truthful in the matter. Mr. Metlausland and his friends might better rome out and tell the press of Montreal that Premier Ft‘l'gllsflll has nothing: whatever to do with the repeating: ot' the Ontario 'l‘emperanre AM.

Among the schools, Edge Hill has thus won first place, but some of the people in Aberdeen school section. which donated $70.00 last winter, and in Allan’s school section, which sent in $60.00 then, are not inclined to let Edge Hill school he the only section to have the honor of reach- ing the century mark of $100.00. Last spring Edge Hill Public School put on a concert for the hen- etit of the Hospital. They cleared about $90.00, which they fonvardeil then. Edge Hill never does anything by halves, and so the young peOple by private subscription among themselves brought the sum up to their goal of $100.00. With country school sections thus contributing so handsomely towards needed hospital funds, it were in- dovd strangr did not tho Durham schools mntributo similarly. St) Durham Public school teachers and pupils donated $100.00 from a little privato fund of their own, and this puts Durham Public school on roc- ord among the schools to assist. a worthy institution in town.
