Perhaps the excitement of the fray may have a goof deal to do wtth it, as it has with ordinary war- fare. Ia the present condition of the Lberal party in O.atario, there is little to induce any man of ability to saorifice himself for its advancement, so far e.s material rewards are conoernei, but a leader will assays be found teverthe- lees, At present it is Mr Willer, and he has certainly eltsplayed so far a phenomenal cnpaoity for self-sacrifice What is needed for suoeese, not merely immediate but ultimate, ie the loyal support of loading Liberals every a here, so that he may feel he is really the leader.

PUBLISHER AND PROPRIETOP THURSDAY, JULY 9. 1908. • NOTES AND COMMENTS We are about to celebrate the tercen- tenary of our historio city, Qaebeo, and to commemorate the battles which so materially i• fiaenoed the history of our Dominion. We may congratulate onr- selves upon the prosperity and the en- lightenment of these "piping times of pQaoe" in comparison with the 014 days of darkness, of ignorance and of ocn- fi=oe, but we may question ourselves if we cannot learn mu •h from the great men o° the old time. Their ohivalrons faith, their hunger for honor, rather than for ease and riches, their simple, soldierly devotion to duty, sometimes shame us in our cowardly self-seeking, our pleasure-hanting, onr money. grab. bing and our love of compromise. Had the men who settled Oaueda and the men on either side who battled on the Plains of Abraham been p3or and low in their ideals we should have had no Dominion Dsy to oelabrate.-Montreal Witness. In its attitude toward Canada the United Stated is nnexonsably indifferent to its own success. k the contempla tion of the economic greatness of their own land the people of rbis country lose sight of what le going on elsewhere. With short-sighted complacency they look at the array of figures representing the produets of American fields and farms and give little or no heed to the fact that the grain crops of the Canadian North-west have increased from about 30,000,000 bushels in 1891 to 250,000,000 bushels at the p esent time, with a certainty of quadrupling that output withii a few years. New railway lines are being run through the grain country, opening new areas of resettle- ment. New outlets are being made by which Canadian crops and Canadian beef and cattle can be mut to market through O,..n•adian Territory. The Hudson Bay route and the Georgian Bay Canal are now something more than mere dreams It ie probable that decider a wi 1 soon be made whether the Welland Canal shall be deepened to a draught of twenty.five feet or a new canal built around Niagara Falls, Oenada is awake and Is growing right lustily. -New York San. taWhen one thinks of all that goes to mare np the career of a Baldwin, or a Macdonald, or a Brown, or a Blake, or a Pale, Sickly Girls HAVE ANAEMIA Your mirror will tell you if you are anaemic. for the unnatural pallor of the gums and in.. side of the lips and eyelids indicate thin, watery blood.

Thomson, Ottawa correspondent in the Boston Transcript. Well, atter all, Sir Wilfrid doesn't seem a bit sore. Ha takes the event like everything else, as an incident of the game or jonruey. "The world is a place of troubles," he says. ' Oertainly the blow to my party friends iu Oatario was a severe one. Bat they had to encounter in Mr. Whitney a very strong man, and they themselves were under a leader whose large ability is not so well un- derstood as it yet will be -he has been leader bat a short time. "I..t some sense the result may be construed as a stroke against my Gov ernment, but really it should not be so regarded. Some men's minds are for the moment oonfneed. They confound the parties of,the country in general In the same way some of my friends in Q iebeo conceive their viotory there, which is only less striking than that of the Conservatives in O.it ario, to signify the unusual ele. toral victory for onr party in Federal po'itica. Neither one nor the other set of these rej ricers and disappointed have yet got the smoke of the two simultaneous but opposed pro- vincial victories out of their eyes. "My Government may do less well at the next Dominion elections than Mr. Goalie's snocese seems to indicate and far better than Per. Whitney's may appear to denote. I am not dis- couraged, not worried at all. "You should coneider that jaet as Mr. Whitney and Mr. G3uin bad to stand on their record in ofise, so most I on mine. It is not one of which I have regret. The people must jadge it and as, I confess too much confidence in their common sense. We have had some mistakes -not many, I believe, and not important.

Our majority is nnim• paired in both Houses The by-elec• teens have favored ns. There is no turmoil or agitation against us. Ir would be ridiculous to interpret an Px- hibition of Ontario corfllenoe in Mr, Whitney as one of a lack of Ontario confidences in me. I am conscious of having done well by Ontario, of hav- ing at iven to deserve approval from the people there -as from those every- where else. "If. they refuse it to me -well, it must be so- the world ie a plane of disappointment, sometimes. It may be that Ontario will treat me very well In any case I shall not complain of the .deoision of people whom I respect, And there is plenty of time." I must not be supposed to report his words aeoarately, for hie sentenoes were written in the eourae of talk, broken by question, reply, dominant, and reference, to matters local, per• sonal and exoluded here. Bat the gist of his remarks is there. And the collocation indicates fairly I believe, Sir Wilfrid's deliberate philosophic, amiable way of thinking. He doesn't take his politics hard, th3ugh he does take duty seriously. The effects of listening to Sir Wil- frid, whether he speaks to one or to many, is that the hearer gets a sense of light. His infiaeuoe is in the na- ure of that which Matthew Arnold signifies regarding Goethe. who "saw life steadily and saw it whole." Or like that of Stints B ,ova, who con duots an essay so persuasively as to e ffaet miracles of conversion to hie vie w. Laurier causes comprehension that the overwhelming victory of Mr. Whitney's Oatario Oabinet ought not to bo taken se prognosticating a ma• jority of that province against Laurier. It is tree that the inference might well be (mite otherwise. Mr. Waitney's 000rse in offeoe has been vary sane. Sir Wilfria's course has been eminent. 1y so. In supporting sanity at Toronto,' Ontario, to the eye of pure reason, ought to appear' wholly favorable to Laurier's Federal ministry. This is logic. DISCUSSING CHILD LABOR. (Brantford Expositor ) The members of the Iaternatiouai Association of Fatting Iakpectors, meeting in Toronto, have been die - coming the q iestion of child labor and urging an advanoe ail along the line. It is a pity, with the meeting taking plane in a progressive province like Om tarso, it was not possible for us to furn- ish to the visitors an obj set lesson of what modern child labor laws ought to be. Instead of 000apying this position we are among the most backward people on the continent in this very important regard. To begin with, our truancy laws are little more than a name, and in the great majority of municipalities there is no machinery for their onto cement. Without machinery to flee that they are at school np to the required age, ohil dren of tender years are certain to be found in our factories and stores. Time andategain, the need of an entirely new system of truancy law administration bas been forced upon the attention of of the Government, but without re. enit. The evil has been admitted, but no effort has been made to grapple with it. Up to the last session of the Leg- islative the law Assembly, l h permitted y, children as young as 10 years of age to be employed in plaoes other than faotorielt. The special committee on Child Labor recommended in its re. port to the government that there should be a uniform age of 14 years in both the Shops and Fsotories Ads, the government atter a year's could. million brought in a bili to raise the age in shops from 10 t0 12, and it was only after repeated urging and in the Very last minutes of the lot session that it consented 10 increase the limit to 1a years as regards employment daring school hours. Is should not be lawful to employ children either daring or after school hours who are under 14 years of age, and in the moot progress- ive states of the Union they oannot ba so employed under 16 It ie the very general rale to require that children should produce an age and schooling certifi:ate before being ern ployed, but Ontario has no 50311 re- quirement. A oertifiaate need only be prodaoed, on the dammed of a factory inspector, and is seldom;required, while illiteracy is tri barrier to entrauoe upon an indna!rial career. We have done nothing to prevent the employment of children in don :aeons or immoral occupations, or in plaoes whore l:gzor is sold, if the child is not I ehind the bar, and we lay behind the prooessiod in stating the number of hones, either day or night, daring which children may be employed. It is owing to the importauoe which most Canadians attach to ednoation that the loose condition of things to which The Expoaitor has time and again (Jelled attention has not been prodaotive of more evil, but the changing character of our population m ekes it distinotly important that this laxity ahnald no longer continue, and that tha laws of the province should protect child life to an extent they have not thus far been doing. iF I KNEW, If I knew the box where the smiles were kept, NO metier how large the key Oe strong the bolt, I woald try so hard, 'Twonld open, I know, for me.

A German scientist, Professor Albeit Heim, who fell over n precipice in the Alps, but lived to tell the tale, makes that story n very encouraging account to those with an inclination to high jumps and the like. His fall was only seventy feet, yet that would be more than cuough to satisfy a temperate person. His story Is full of interesting detail. At first he seemed to himself to be flying through the air. Hie fall really could have occupied only n few sec- onds, but his train of thought was long and full of interesting deta'tils. "I clearly saw," he says, "the possl- btitty o� m r fa g; j Saki t2 myse1f� t7`lae rocky°` allfrom which I aniiiow, being hurled prevents my seeing what is at its base. The snow may be melt- ed there or there may be none. Ie there is any, lay life may be saved. Otherwise death is inevitable. "'If I am conscious on reaching the earth, I have by me a bottle of aro- 'mnties and my alpenstock. I will' grasp it, for It may serve me in good stead.' I thought, too, of removing my eyeglasses lest their splintering might cause injury. "Other and gentler thoughts for those I was to leave behind came upon me.: For myself I felt indifferent, caring really little whether I should be much injured or not, but from motives •of consideration for others I felt impell- ed, as It were, to make light of the+ matter. I seemed to call aloud, 'I am not much hurt!' • "I recollected that in five days more I was to have delivered an inaugural discourse and thought of the grief my death would cause to those near and dear to me. Anon, lying, as it were, on the limit of a far distant horizon, ap- peared distinct and divers images and episodes of my past life. The whole - mental picture stood out clear cut and illumined by divine and mysterious light. "All things seemed lovely and of good report.
