straight line Liberate should swear alle-

leader's pregramme. The great chance

WHAT IS THE DEFENCE?
pion of the present administration's
educational polioy, is preparing the
public for disappeintwens, In a re•
Dent issue it says: "The News believes
that there are serious difiionities in
the way of any great reduction in the
prioe of text books, The steady rise
in the price of white paper and the
upward toudenoy in the coat of labor
tend altogether in the other direction.
Moreover it most be borne in mind
that text books should always be of
good quality both as to literary con-
tents and as to the material employed
In ih:ir manufacture. It would bs
wholly inadvisable to saoridoe either
desideratum to mere cheapness."
Brantford Expositor.
The Conservative Government in
this Provinoo, after three short yeltra
of oftite, will soon be on trial. Among
the features of its administration which
it will have difficulty

The exposures in

The dismissal of

The introduction of the odious syte
tem of investigation by Government
commissioners.
The Canadian Northern guarantee of
$2,500,000.
The grant of $130,000 to the Le Rose
mine proprietore.
These are all i saes of moment,.and
are being urged by Liberal and inde-
pendent journals against the Govern-

the part of supporters of the Adminis-

in connection with these incidents.

The best interests or Ontario will not
be served unless at the Provincial elec-
tions the Opposition in the Legislature
is made strong, aggressiTe, and forceful.
A majority of forty two for Hon. J. P.
Whitney, was in some respects, as dan-
gerous to good government as was Hon.
Geo. W. Ross' majority of three. The
confident assurance of a large majority
bred reoklessness and a disregard for
principle and public interest.
Mr. Whitney entered on his Premier-
ship with high promises and, we believe,
with excellent intentions. He meant
to give an honest, impartial, progressive
administratioa. Bat the henchmen
and heelers of the party beset him and
bis Government, the more insistent and
unreasonable incense of the security of
the party's majority in the Legislature,
and little by little the defences of the
Premier were broken down until he
landed in the dishonor of the gerry-
mander and the comprising entangle
meats with Mr. William MacKeezie
Had Premier Whitney a majority of
less than twenty instead of more than
forty he would have mastered for him•
self every important measure, kept the
favor -hunters at arm's length and
would not have allowed public rights
in Niagara power to be betrayed or
saorifioed through the indifference or
antagonism of members of his Cabinet.
What The Globe said the day after the
elections in 1905 has been proved true -
hie majority has been his embarrass-
ment.
It is not of supreme importance that
all members of the Opposition shall pro-
nounce the same party shibboleth. It
may be taken for granted that the Gov-
ernment supporters, bavicg accepted
party nomination and given' party
pledgee, will offer little publio criticism
and almost no aggressive opposition to
the Government's polioy. It is the priv-
ilege of members of the Opposition to
exerolse greater individual freedom,
each man taking his own line of attack
and repreeentiag the views which in
his judgment are of supreme public im-
portance. For this reason it would he

Opposition might be party men -were

THE REPLY OF THE "HIRELING."
Senator Oasgrain, of Montreal, says
that "socialism will wreck the Whitney
Government at the coming election."
In au Ulterview be stated that he was
going to Ontario to assist iu the coming
election. "bion. Mr. Whitney has noted
like* bull in a ohina shop, so far as the
financial iuterests of Ontario are con-
cerned, and' if I had no invitation to
go to Oatario to help in the coming
elections I would -deem it my duty to
see that the Government whioh has
recklessly wrecked the `credit of Ontario
and of the rest of the provinces of the
Dominion should not be intrusted with
the adminettration of the affairs of On-
tario for another term. If Ontario is
not to protect British and foreign capital
invested in this country, where is her
future? "Many of the leading Con-
servative financiers will oppose Mr.
Whitney at the re. ming election because
of bis interfer. nee with vetoed rights.
If you follow the financial papers in
England you will see that Ontario se-
curities have been selling in London at
a great discount."
(Phe Globe.)
The defence offsred by Premier Whit-
ney at the Hamilton demonstration
will not commend either himself or his
Government to reasonable men. Truth
requires the straightest denial of his
childishly absurd and utterly false ex-
planation of the Globe's attitude in any
"procession of hangers-on, grafters and
crooks passing up the stairway of the
Globe." A Premier ought not to de
scend to such vulgarity. N or is it
becoming in the Premier of Ontario
to deeotibe as "servants and hire -
liege of the Government" the men
who without fee or thought of reward
have given unstintedly of their time
and service to make Effective the
Government's plans for the Provincial
University, the Niagara Fel.a Park,
or any other great publio trust. Is
is because the university is of more
importance to the Province and to
Canada than any Government, or
than any party advantage, than men
have been willing to sacrifice for its
sake regardless of party affiliations;
and it ill becomes Premier Whitney
to call such men "hirelings of the
Government." The public, to whom
all these trusts are sacred, will not
be impressed by the empty and en-
ervating bluster of the demonstration.
Kidney Troubles
FROM THE LIVER
In his study of kidney disease, Dr. Chase,
the famous Receipt Book author, found that
90 per cent. of the cases arose as a direct re.
suit of liver and bowel disorders, and working
on this idea led to the discovery of his cele-
brated Kidney -Liver Pills, the only Kidney
mtdicine having a combined aeon on liver and
bowels at well.

Chronic Coughs Cured
Mrs. Joseph Eccles of Dromore, says:
"I tools 4 or 5 bottles of Psychine,
and a cough I bad continually for nine
months disappeared. It is the best
remedy for chronic coughs that I ever
used."
Thousands of living witnesses pro-
nounce Psychine the greatest medicine
in the world. It is not a patent medi-
eine, but a prescription of a great phy-
sician. Put it to tho test in any

But Whitney has succeeded in some
thiugs. He has introduced and carried
out the spoils system, He has spent a
lot of money in seeking for exouses to
sacrifice Liberal officials. He hue mul-
tiplied Tory of stale. He has largely
increased his own and his ministers'
salaries, and eo arranged it that they are
paid without pealing through the esti-
mates. He has perpetrated a petty and
vicious gerrymander. He has manu-
factured a few Tory members, fearing
yet with his large majority to trust
himself to the meroy of the electors.
He has provided possibilities of a large
campaign emergency fund. He hay
voted the credit of the Provinoe to the
extent of $2,500,000 to the C. N. R., and
has also alienated, as railway subsidy,
over half a million acres of land. The
La Rose grant of $130,000, in which a
brother-in-law of a minister participates
the iniquitous Oobalt Lake and other
deals, all stand to hie credit (?) Per-
haps it was not in human nature that
Whitney should face the people without
taking promotions against their wrath.
Even the temperance people whom he
bamboozled into supporting him at last
election, feel that in this contest, one of
their votes is eqnal to that of any other
citizen. Whitney is now fain to depend
upon the gerrymander and • the "intim-
once."-Hamilton Times,
NO WARRANT FOR GERRYMAN-
DER.
In the Provincial general elections
of 1905 the popular vote was as fol-
lows:
Conservatives .... 239,853
Reformers 203 461
Third candidates ...... 1,773
445,097
Oonservative mejerity 36,000
Giving the two parties representation
in the House in proportion to their
relative standing at the polls, the pro-
portion would be:
Conservatives 54
Liberals .. 44
or a Conservative majority of 10 seats,
but they got a majority of 43 seats.
A distribution of seats which could
acoompliah such a result for the Con-
servative party, afforded no justification
for a wholesale gerrymander in order
to further strengthen the party in
power.

NOTES AND COMMENTS
Not Up to Expectations.
DO YOU EAT RIGHT?
Few People in Wingham Really
Know How
An English lord who visited Scotland
was at a dinner given in his honor at a
private residence. A little daughter of
his host, who was too well bred to stare,
but who eyed him covertly as the occas-
ion presented itself, finally ventured to
remark :
"And yon are really and truly an
English lord?"
"Yes," he answered pleasantly,
"really and truly."
"I have often thought I would like
to see an English lord," el'e went on,
"and -and-"
"And now you are satisfied at last,"
he interrupted, laughingly.
"Nano," replied the truthful little
girl, "I'm not satisfied. I'm it good
deal disappointed."
At Conservative headquarters in
Toronto the result of the elections is
forecasted as follows: Government
supporters, 89; Opposition, 17 -Govern-
ment majority, 72. The independent
electors should see to it that no such
overwhelming majority be given to
the Government. The events of the
last session ehowed conclusively that

What has the Government done in
the way of reducing the priori of school

far all it has done is to give a Contract

will be enabled to get rid of some of its

THF. RIVER OF LIFE.
[Thomas Campbell.]
The more we live, more brief appear
Our life's succeeding stages;
A day to childhood seems a year,
And years like passing ages.
The gladsome current of our youth,
Ere passion yet disorders,
Steals lingering like a river smooth
Along its grassy borders.
But as the careworn cheek grows wan
And sorrow'e shafts fly thicker,
Ye stars, that measure life to man,
Why seem your courses quicker?
When joys have lost their bloom and
breath,
And lite itself is vapid,
Why, as we reach the Falls of Death,
Feel we its tide more rapid.
It may be strange --yet who would
ohmage
Time's course to Blower speeding, -
When one by one our friends have gone
And left oar bosoms bleeding?
An old gentleman in a village not
far from . Glasgow breakfasted every
morning on porridge, and, in order to
save fuel, cooked a whole week's supply
every Saturday..
One Friday morning the stuff
seemed very cold and very salt, and
he felt he must abandon the struggle
to eat it. But hie stubborn nature
forbade any such, thought. So he
fetched the whiskey feoin the cnpboard,
poured out a glass and placed it before
him on the table.
"Now, Sandy," said he, "it ye eat
that parrioh t'e'll had that whiskey, an'
if ye don't ye won't."
He stuck again at the last spoonful,
but, keeping his eye steadily on the
glass of whiskey, he made a bold,
it down. Then
t e effort, g
and o1. ow
b av
he 'lowly and carefully poured back
the whiskey into the bottle with a broad
grin, ae he said to himself:
"Sandy, my lad, I did ye thot time,
ye auld Niel"

In general the peach is a stronger
and more rapid grower than the apple
or the pear. For.that reason it is plant-
ed in the orchard at an earlier age
than either. Yearling peach trees are
considered more satisfactory by or-
ehardists than older trees. These young
plants are usually reduced to a single
stem or whip at planting time, the head
being formed from the shoots which
develop along the body of the tree dur-

an easy matter to go over the newly
planted tree and cut off such shoots as
are not desired. '
There will be a severe loss of root
area in removing the plant from the
nursery, depending upon the size and;
age of the plant. All mutilated or dead
roots should be removed, and in cutting
away roots it should be the aim to
make the cut in such a manner that a
smooth, clean surface is left, which,
when the tree is placed in position,
will come in contact with the moist
soil either of the sides or bottom of
the hole. With most of our ornamental
evergreen and deciduous trees as little
root area should be cut away as is
practicable. Many of the fruit bearing
plants, however, such as the apple,
pear, peach, plum and grape, will stand
quite severe toot pruning.
Transplanting Forest Trees.
When n seedling or transplant Is
taken from the ground Its roots should
immediately he plunged into a vessel
containing a mixture of earth and
water about as thick as cream. This
mixture is known as "puddle" and is
one of the most important requisites
for successful tree planting.
If seedlings are received from a dis-
tance the trees should be unpacked at
once and their roots should be dipped
into a puddle. After this the trees
should be "heeled in" according to the
following method until the time for
planting in the field;
Dig a trench deep enough to bury
the roots and part of the stems. The
r

trench should run east and west, its
south bank at a slope of about thirty
degrees to the surface of the ground.
A layer of trees should he placed in
the trench on its eloping side, the tops
toward the south. The roots and
stems should be covered with fresh
earth dug from the second treuch, in
which a second layer of trees is pot
and covered in the same way. The
digging of the parallel trenches Is re-
peated, and layers of trees are put in
until all have been heeled In, as shown
in the cut.
In the case, of conifers care should
be taken not to bury the foliage and
either to choose a l;hady place for the
young trees or to construct n shade
over them with brush or laths. -Gif-
