of the province since the acquisition of
the Whitney Government is a most
praiseworthy thing, bat an increase on
the part of the Dominion Government

MR. HiSLOP'S ELECTION RE-
FORMS.
(London Advertiser.)
Tbe bill introduced in the Legislature
by Mr. Hislop, Liberal member for East
Heron, to amend the eleation act de-
served more consideration at the hand.
of Premier Whitney, who professed to
see neither good nor harm in it. There
were features of the measure which
many people will regard as in the right
direction.
Mr. Hislop would evidently like to see
voting made compulsory, it it were pos-
sible. It it possible, however, to compel
voters to go to the polls, and this the
bill in question contemplated. It ie a
fact established by the election eonrte
that the offering of bribes to voters to
remain away from the polls is almost as
common as the paying o: electors to vote
for a particular eandidste; indeed the
former would seem to be the eater in-
vestment for the briber, seeing that a
man who would accept a bribe would
not be implicitly trusted to vote as be
promised In addition, if going to the
polls were made compulsory, it would
tend to do away with the hiring of rigs,
which, though, now prohibited by law,
is still carried on, and in reality con-
etitutes a form of bribery -in the first
place to the liveryman, who is apt to find
the election agent more generous thin
the ordinary customer, and also to the
voter, who is given a free ride from his
home or place of employment to the
place of voting.
It is estimated that about tbirty per
cent of the total vote in Ontario remain-
ed unpolled in the last general election,
sufficient to have changed the result in
many constituencies. This indicates
that not far from one•third of the pro-
vincial electorate takes no interest in
public affairs. Doubtless, 11 voters were
made to understand that they mutt
appear at the polling place on election
day, much of this indifference would
disappear.
The other proposals in the bill required
all candidates to state their views on
pnblio questions at, all meetings and
prohibited candidates from privately
soliciting support. Personal canvastiug
is one of the most objectionable features
of oar election system, It is a hole -and
corner practice that no candidate should
be forced to submit to, and is not in-
frequently taken advantage of by un-
eorapnloas 'cetera to extort promises of
personal favors. Released from what is
now regarded as the duty of canvassing
the candidate would have more time to
dismiss the questions of the day in pub -
Ito meeting, the proper method. It is
otters the case that the candidate most
proficient in ''button -holing" electors is
the ane least qualified for public service.
The prohibition of the personal canvass
would make public life morn attractive
to the best stage of mea.
The scant supply of feed from last
year's harvest is going further than
expected. A steady winter, with
abundance of snow will, if experience
holds good be followed by a reasonably
earIy and favorable growing season with
plentiful harvest as its culmination.
The slackening of commercial activity
during the winter now passing was due
to the short Drop of last year. If the
early summer gives a reasonable as-
euranoe of a better yield this season
the wheels of industry will again begin
to revolve. Even now, with general
trade still comparatively dull, the mar -
et for farm products, owing to
the shortage of supplies, is in a fairly
healthy condition. Although beef cattle

anticipated. The estimated revenue
had bean ;65,000,000 -it was actnally
$67 409,328. -an excess over the estim-
ates of $2,969,328. He estimated the
expenditure at $52 000,000, and it had
proven to be $51,542,169, or $457,838 less
than the estimates. The surplus he had
estimated would be $13,000,003, but he
had to report as actual cash surplaa for
the nine months of nearly sixteen and
one-half millions- or, to be exact, $16,-
427 167. Iu other words, the surplus for
nine months was larger than the surplus
of any Racal year in the history of Can-
ada since confederatton.
Here are some striking exhibits made
by Mr. Fielding, exclusive evidence as
to the statesmanlike and successful fin-
ancial administration of the Laurier
Government: -
In the years since 1896, during which
he has held the office of Minieter of Fi-
nance, the net debt increase has been
only $5,174,427, and the debt per head
of population'has deoreaeed from $60.87
in 1897, the high water mark of the
Foster method of finance to $42 81 in
1907.
A surplus revenne over all expand-
iture on consolidated fend account
amounting to $16,427,167 for the final
period of nine months ending March
Slat last, a larger surplus than for any
fiscal year since confederation.
A surplus of total revenue over total
expenditure for the Iast fiscal period of
$1,193 971, and a decrease in the publlo
debt of $3,371,117,
Ia the ten and three.gnarter years
of the present administration ending
March lest, the amount spent on capi-
tal account reached the enormous total
of $127,000,000, the, public service in
every department had been greatly ex-
tended, postal rates had been reduced,
tarries rates had been decreased, yet by
only $5,174.427. And had it not been
for a large expenditure on the National
Transcontinental Railway there would
have been a enbetantiel redaction in the
public debt.
The total trade of Canada in 1897 was
$257,168.862; in 1907 it was 11617,964,952.
Railway traffio in number of tone was
25.300.331 in 1897; in 1907 it was 63,8(36,-
133. Deposits by the people in the (than
tered banks in 1897 totalled $236,960,-
482; in 1907 the total was $639,970,696
CANADA'S BUDGET.
Hon. W, S. Fielding presented his
budget speech last week. He doted

that the pilblio aoconnts were for the
fiscal period of nine months ending
March 31. This broken period, btonght

Increasing Post Office Revenues.
The total poet office revenue for
eleven months of the final year was
$6,357,320, an increase of $652,047, over
the corresponding period of last year.
The total revenue of the Customs De-
partment daring the period mentioned
hag increased by $7,040,878, and that of
the excise by $545,364, dunug the same
period.
From the above figures it Will be ob-
served that the Dominion revenues are
on the increase and that the Conserva-
tive talk of blue ruin cannot be based
upon figures at all events.
Constant inoreaee in the customs and
excise revenue no longer came com-
ment. So that these Attune anise na-
turally as a result of commercial expan-
elon. Special attention, however is in-
vited to the showing made by the poet
office department. An inoreate of nears

stance which calls for temark. Under
a Liberal ndminletl-ation the post office
has been changed from a department

Prosperity and Extravagance.
A gentleman eugaged.ite stook -broker-
age commented r'eaeatly upon his swol-
len personal a000nnt-thtokly , dotted
with quite dazzling little items for
social entertainment. "They need to
tell me," he observed, "that the way to
make money was to be frugal, spend as
little as possible, sit tight. Bat that is
all nonsense. The way to make money
is to spend it."
We could not recommend this counsel
to the Young man on the average Young
Man's salary; but it comes to mind up-
on reading, on every hand, that some
reaction in buainese is very salutary,
because it will wean people generally
from extravagaut expenditures and
teach them to live frugally.
Yet it is vary evident that, if there is
,no more extravagance, there will never
again be boom time&. It is not the
purchases of corned beef and cabbage,
nor of homespun and brogans, that tell
of a high pitch of oommeroial activity.
It is when the farmers are buying far -
lined overcoats and the baker's wife
goes into satins that the wheels reality
ham, bank clearingsmount,and the
railroads are bothered with congestion
in the traffic department. If everybody
bought only what he factually needed,
so many planta would be shat that pres-
ently a great many could not even bay
what they did need.' Nobody feels
comfortably off ,unles1 he can bay a
setter pap or an ovorooat with frogs on
11 just because he wants it, Prosperity
breeds extravagance, and then extrav-
agance, kills prosperity. - Saturday

back into the fold, drive them through
a gate or two in the inside and then
put them into a "bucht" or pen made
of hurdles, sometlmes in the center and
sotuetimes at the side of the fold. This
bucht was made one hurdle wide and
two long,
It was a grand sight to see how thor-
oughly the dog understood every word
and motion of its master, who was,
standing on some rock or knoll in plain
sight of the dog. Fresh sheep were
turned out with every fresh dog till
the wagers were decided.
There is no need to buy dogs at
fabulous prices. Try to get a pdp
of some known strain,uo matter wheth-
er it has pedigree menet Tbe old Eng-
lish sheep dog is about as serviceable
in this country as any.
When a butcher or dealer or, in fact,
any person comes to the farm to look
at the sheep with the intention of bay- "
ing, the spare help does not require to
be brought in from the field to assist in
getting the sheep into the barnyard oz
sheep pen. If there is no pen made of
hurdles in the pasture, the dog is used
to drive, them into a corner and hold
them there till the party has seeu and k
handled what he wants, says David Al. 5
Fyffe, writing in the Breeder's Gazette,
Chicago, on a matter of fresh interest:
just now among sheep farmers- in this
country.
Good Work In Vermont.
The sheep dog trials hek1 recently
at the Vermont state fair wen a dis-
tinct success, as reported in Country
Gentleman, from which descriptions of_
one or two of the various events are
here reproduced: To understand the
sheep dog trials we must remember
that the old kite shaped track is still.
In existence; that the new half mile
track is built inside of the kite. The
pen where the sheep were liberated
was at the end of the large part of the
kite. The shepherds took up position
near the new grand stand and sent
their dogs away, the dogs bringing the
sheep alone some 300 yards to the shep-
herd past the new grand stand to the
stretch through the draw gate to a pen
in the middle of the field, where they
were penned.
At a signal from the judge in the In-
field four sheep were turfied out of the
pen. Mr. eli)ler had taken his position,
and a slight wave of his hand sent
Bruce, a BeardIe, away. He found his
sheep readily, steadied himself nicely
and brought them on quietly to his
master. Together they wait past the
grand stand, the deg barking once or
twice as they were inclined to be too
quick, and made a fine turn through.

pen. IIe moved quietly and was under:

more time to pen than the dog, as she
reached the pen one-half minute sooti-
er
ooner than he did. She moved carefully
forward, but had not the dash or eyo'
that Bruce bad; time, eight minutes.
Then came R. Burns, from Toronto,
with Bob, a sable collie. He found his
sheep a short distance from the pen
and took them In a creditable fashion
down to his master. Together they
went gayly past the stand and made a
good turn through the gate and on tri
