"The Laurier Government has adop-
ted the statesmanlike coarse in the
matter of Japanese imm•gration. Its
course hag been endorsed by the press of
Great Britain and of the United States,
and by the statesman of Great Britain
It would have been an easy thing, a
simple thing, and a temporarily popular
thing within a comparitively narrow
circle, to have denounced the treaty
with Japan, and to have adopted a Natal
art, Bat such a policy would have been
questionable in its effect, and it might
have brought about mischievous tom
plications. Every reasonable• minded
man will agree that'sane coarse has
been taken. If the restrictions imposed
by Japan are not satisfactory, the way
will still be open for action. But the
general belief is that the policy of the
Japanese Government will be satisfac-
tory, and it is a firm eonvlction in the
minds of Conservatives and it will be
satisfactory which is at the root of the
unreasonable agitation noted."

TO CATARRH SUFFERERS.
The Montreal Star (Conservative)
characterizes the criticisms of the
French treaty by Opposition members
as "pin -pricking," and calls for a
statesmanlike review of the et hole
fnstrnment" instead of the trifling
objections dictated by sectional in-
terests. It says:
"The question before the House is
not whether the treaty ehonld be amend-
ed, but whether it should be accepted or
rejected. The Ministers sat down in
Paris to strike a bargain and not to draw
up a statement of the number of con;
cessions they would like France to give
us. It is to be presumed that they
struck the beet bargain they could. No
one imagines that any Canadian Min-
ister thinks so much of a foreign coun-
try that he would gratify it at the ex-
pense of curtailing kudos he might gain
for himself by getting a better treaty for
Canada. Politioiane are seldom so un-
selfish as that. Bat, the Ministers hav-
ing made the best bargain they can, it is
now for Parliament to say 'yes' or ' no'
to the question of its acceptance. That
it would be easy to point out items whioh
might be improved could have been
taken for granted before the treaty was
published at all. Either aide can usually
improve a treaty if they are given a
free hand. But this sort of criticism
does not lead very far, unless it is to
'wind up with a proposal that the treaty
be rejected altogether.

all who suffer from any of the symptoms
of catarrh, such as offensive breath,
dryness of the nose, pain across the eyes,
stoppage of the nose, discharges and
droppings in the throat, coughing spasms
and general weakness and debility, to
use Hyomi. He goes so far as to offer
to refund the money to any user of
Hyomei who is not perfectly satisfied
with the results.
Quick relief follows the use of the
Hyomei treatment; the stoppage of the
nose is removed, the dropping ceases,the
breath becomes pure and sweet, and the
catarrh germs are destroyed and their
growth prevented.
Hyomei is the surest, simplest, quick-
est, easiest and cheapest way to Duro
catcrrh It does not drag and derange
the etomaob; it goes right to the seat of
the trouble, destroying the catarrhal
germs and healing and vitalizing the
tissues.
Go to Walton McKibben to day and
buy a complete Hyomei outfit for $1 00
with the understanding that if it does
not give satisfaction, your money will
be refunded.

unnecessary services, would be a long
step toward making the law what it
should be -an efficient means of adjust-
ing differences.
The Opposition leader's strength and
breadth of view were shown in his will-
ingness to comnmend and endorse where -
ever the Government have merited ap-
proval, and while he naturally gave his
party credit for the sound lines of policy
whioh the Government have inherited,
he never descended to •faotitions criti-
cism. There is no surer test of breadth,
grasp, and capacity than a readiness to
concede such merits as peltigal oppon-
ents may show, and in this, as in many
other qualities diatintive of leadership,.
the pre• eminence of the Opposition
leader was distinctly apparent. The
same sense of fairness that marked his
treatment of political opponents made
him unalterably opposed to the require -
ment of a three-fifths majority in -local
option, and prepared to lead hia party in
fighting for majority rule. In dealing
with the admistration of timber and
mineral wealth, the development of
education, law reform, taxation, and
other sources of revenue, agricultural
eduoation, and the general soope of
provincial authority, he clearly evinced
the traditional spirit' of Liberalism in
guarding the rights of the people against
both governmental and corporative ag•
gression. This debate has revealed the
Liberal leader as a commanding force in
the public life of the Province.
Strength, clearness, and statesman-
like insight were the features of Hon.
A. G. MacKey's epeeoh in the debate on
the address, says the Globe, and con-
tinuing, adds: The Opposition leader
made it patent to the House and to the
crowded galleries that the mantle of
Sir Oliver Mowat has fallen on worthy
shoulders. His criticism was conetrno-
tive rather than destructive, and while
he was keen in pointing out errors of
policy and defects in administration, he
addressed himself chiefly to the unfold-
ing alines of policy commenan'ate with
the future possibilities of the Province.
In regard to law reform the burden en-
tailed by existing defects was made
apparent in a way that showed the
urgent need of effective remedies. The
Province inherited a bad policy from
the early copying of 13ritish models, and
the Li3eralparty has been true to its
b$at traditions
in working towardand
s$mplicity and practical effectiveness.
The tortuous and costly proceedings
have made the law a joke to the cynical,
a menace to everyone involved, and a
burden to the community at large have
been eliminated as rapidly as safety
won1d permit. The present sent Gov
ern-
ment are moving timidly toward carry-
ing oat the Opposition policy of having
only one Court of Appeal for Ontario,
but are til much entangled in tradition
to lessen the present threatening un-
certainty in regnard to costs. Hon. A.

CUR ROADS.
The twelfth annual report on high-
way improvement- in Ontario has been
issued. The report deals exolusively
with the question Of good reeds. The
country roads of Ontario are now cost-
ing for maintenance more than $2,
000,000 a year in mopey and statute
labor. That is the actual expenditure,
but there is in addition, a tremendous
toll of time and energy wasted in travel-
ling over bad roads. Were means a-
vailable of directing to road improve-
ment, the tribute of time, energy and
inconvenience now paid to bad roads, a
miraculous improvement would result.

Of Sir Gilbert, Miss Warnock said
that "In the Seats of the Mighty"
the author showed all the craft and
delicacy of the artist, but that since
then he had "traveled extensively,en-
tered Parliament and been made a
Knight, all of which seems to have
had a bad effect upon his work, His
books have been getting worse and
worse, and to -day he is no longer an
artist."
Some passages from Harvey J.
O'Higgins' "Dark Days" were likened
to the charm of Barrie and Stevenson.
Among the illustrative readings giv-
en by the lecturer were Roberts' "The
Wrestler," ' Carman's "Who is the
Owner?" and Jean Blewett's "Chore
Time."

RAILWAY TIME TABLES.
Ranchmen Forced to Retire.
American farmers by thousands
have flocked across the "line,"
," says the
writer from Calgary,
ranchers before them, until the large
ranch is now practically extinct in
Western Canada, but a few small
ranchers still are located on the foot-
hills of the Rockies, where the farm-
ing invasion has not yet reached. Last
year the Canadian cattle exported put
$12,000,000 into the pockets of the
cowmen, but the cowmen have to get
out of the way of the wheat elevators
and the binders.
A cowboy rides away on the "round-
up" and returns ten weeks later to
find a brand new town with popcorn
roasters on the streets and His Ma-
jesty's postoffice where he had left
the bare range. It is swift work.
Then along comes the railway and the
"town" gets on the map and there is
a new "city of the plains," with a
population of several hundred. As
soon as spring opens up the American
farmers will rush northward to secure
land, for. the harvest of 1907 proved
that Canada can raise No. 1 wheat
when all other wheat raising terri-
tories have failed.
Already a few Americans havo com-
menced the trek of 1908 and emigra-
tion authorities claim that during the
present year the number of Americans
settling in Western Canada will
eclipse all previous records. The
building of the Grand Trunk Pacific
and the branches of the Canadian
Northern, Canadian Pacific, and Great
Northern railroads will open up vast
tracks of country hitherto unavailable
for settlement owing to their great
distance from railroad facilities, and
there is room for millions when it is
taken into consideration that less than
one quarter of the available land in
Western Canada has been taken up,
and less than one-tenth put under
cultivation.
The foreign element in Western
Canada is being gradually replaced by
Britishers and Americans, but here
and there may be found a settlement
of Doukhobors, Galieians, Icelanders,
Swedes, Poles, or some other of the
Slav races. '

tary School when he detailed the story
ofhislife to the 600 boys there the

epigrammatic and fall of aphorisms,
outlined his early life in Montreal,
where, he was born, a soldier's son,
and indicated the ruggedness of the
path from the barrack room to the
treasury bench. Subsequent speakers

one of the crown's moat popular
Ministers.
