GOOD ROADS CONTROVERSY
The .proposed building of main high-
wtys_paved with concrete or asphalt,
through Ontario is exciting a good deal
of controversy and discussion. In the
building of such roads it is evident that
complete justice cannot be done to all.
H" -the roads are paid for out of provin-
cial funds residents will contribute
equally (in so far as they are taxed
equally) to the construction and up -keep
whether they live within a mile of the
road or one hundred miles away from
it. The farmer or the merchant at
North Bay may be asked to contribute
to a concrete road from Hamilton to
Windsor, though they would benefit by
it neither directly nor indirectly.
Besides, cities and towns which would
b3 injured by the building of such roads,
by having traffic diverted from them,
would still have to pay for the building
and maintenance of the road. This ex-
pliins th3 anxious rivalry between cities
and towns to have the proposed roads
pass through them.
It would be well if all.the roads in
the province could be made "good roads"
in a summer; but that is manifestly ini-
possible . The re -construction of the
roads must necessarily extend over a
considerable period, and a beginning
must be made somewhere. If many sec-
tions insist upon having their particular
toad built first, nothing can be done.
It is said that lama by which the
paved roads will paws will be injured;
that the roads will be so much occupied
by automobiles that there will be no
room for teams nor live stock. ,There is
likely some ground for that apprehen-
sion; but the difficulty can be overcome
by building the road wide enough to ac
commodate both teams and automobiles,
and one part of the road might be for
teams and the other for motor vehicles,
and a stiff fine for the man who insists
on driving where be ehoulA not be. It
will not be long until more automobiles
are owned by farmers than by city and
town folk, and all will be alike interest
ed in good roads.
As to equalizing the payment for the
roads that can be done only by levying
a special tax upon property benefited by
the. roads. The Singlet • xer would say
that it presents no difficulty at all, for
in as much as land along the improved
road is benefited, up will go its value
and up also should go its assessment, so
that in proportion as the owner, is bene-
fited by the road he will pay for it—just
like two and two making four. And
the. Singletaxer is' right. Adopt his
method of taxation and the than at
Barrie or North Bt.}, will not b,, con-
cerned about the building of roads in
Southern Ontario for he would tcontrib
,ute nothing to their cost Those whose
hind st►ctlld be enhanced In value by the
Killed would pay fot' thb toad, as they
ought to do.

A WAY AROUND THE LAW
• If the temperance legislation prohib-
iting the sale of intoxicating' liquors in
Ontario is to be kept from falling into
disgrace changes will have to be made
in that part of the law which permits
ni dical doctors to prescribe whiskey or
other strong drink for their patients.
The great majority of doctors do not
abuse their privilege of mailing whiskey
prescriptigns; but here and their through. -
out the country .are to be found men
who readily prostitute their prose ion
for the sake, of the few dollars they u
make by helping thirsty ones to get
liquor.
, A,lfttle of this is being done to every
town and city, do doubt, bat only in a
few cases to such an extent as to become
notorious. _
Down in Windsor a case developed -
which has attracted' aitentisn to the
law, and asuggest that something . in the
way of animendinent must be made. Dr
Gardner, of Windsor was fined $200 for
mang iyprnper rise. of his docrorrs •
diplomat' but liSocould tvell`a ford this
as in one day he issued more than 200
prescriptions for whiskey at' one dollar
each. In the month of December he
issued 1,242 whiskey prescription, which
-at a dollar a piece would make quite a
nice month's income. What is more Dr.
Gardner,,- according to the evidence- in
court, issued no other orders' on the drug
stores than whiskey orders. inspector
Moussean, who prosecuted the doctor,
stated that on one occasion when he
visited the doctor's office the veranda
was filled with "patients" and there was
a dine of them out on the street. This
must have been on the day when the
doctor established a record by issuing
22.2' liquor prescriptions in one day.
The case at Windsor is, merely an ex•
aggeration of what is being done else
where and suggests that some pretty
stiff restriction must be put upon doc-
tors.

THE CIVIL WAR IN GERMANY
- The government forces of Germany
appear to be making steady headway
against the anarchists who, in the name
of Socialism, seek to prevent,the estab-.
iishment of a government which will
protect property rights and permit bus-
iness to go on in the usual way.
In whatever other qualities they may
;have been lacking, those who have been
in charge of affairs in Germany did not
Adis want of business ability. They
a:ways well calculated the fcrce which
was necessary to accomplish the end
aimed at—so many hien of a certain
quality to do so much. In the present
crisis the government did not rashly try
to put down the red anarchists until it
had selected froth the army encugh re-
liable battalions to deal with the situat•
ion. Battalions taken at random
have turned in and helped the an sts,
for there must be in the German army
many thousands of men who favor the
anarchists. Should the army prove to
be very largely tainted that way, all
would be lost for the party of law and
order as it was in Russia. But battalions
made up ot. nfticers and men from the
better educated and business clams could
be relied upon to fight the "Reds' as en
thurlasfically as they did the French
and the Reisisiins.
It will be fortunate for the Allies and
the world if the present government of
Germany is able to suppress the opposit-
ion, and to carry out the general election
w loch it is arranging to bold on J 1:t
That will give the Allies something sub-
stantial to deal with, whereas, nhou'
the government be overthrown, there
would be nobodieto bargain with, and
no one to sign a treaty of peace. There
could be no collecting of indemnitifs
irons Germany—for there would be no
Germany •
It is a curious fact that the defeat of
Germany has brought about in 'Berlin
conditions exactly similar to those which
prevailed in Paris following the defeat
of France in 1570.
When Paris vests surrendered to the
besieging Hermans, a lawless element in
Paris refused to obey the government
and seizing the government .buildings
and the city endeavored to defy all
authority, juet as the "Iteds" of Berlin
would now do. ' It was then necessary
for the government of . France to attack
and capture Paris, and for several days
a dreadful battle in which Frenchman
fought Frenchman, raged through the
city streets under the eyes of the Ger
man army which had just reduced
France to submission.
And now it is the turn of Franca. A
French army, just victorious over Ger-
k1+oks t while Oerinalin fights
Germat in the Streets bf Berlin.
The government of France ealcceeded
in putting down the "Reds" io 1871 and
afterward, -held an election an the
country elected a goyernnsent au horized
to make a treaty with the G swans,
just as the Germans will now elect a
goveruwent to treat with the victorous

GOVERNMENT LIKELY
TO HOLD ON
There is- cousiderabie speculation as
to how the
ada will
cion of p
Union Government of Can-
eather the approaching ses-
rliaruent. Free Trade aanti-
utent seems to be strong in the West,
and protectionism is being assiduously
and vigorously preached iii the East—or
rather by representatives of the big
manufacturing concerns of The East.
It is quite evident that along thia line -
will be the cleavage of opinion and on
this line )parties will divide as soon as
Union Government will break up.- - •
The question is: will t t break up be
ah the coming session later `( Mr.
C ddar, one of the Western Liberals in
the Union Government speaking to the
'Canadian :Club of Toronto, said that it
wad' be a crime to bring on an election
at the present time. Mr. Calder is
doubtless a freetrader as well as a west-
erner, and his statement may be taken
to indicate that there is an understand-
ing that the western liberal supporters
of the government will not raise the free
trade issue at the coining session of
parliament. Even this unportant mat-
ter will be held in abeyance until Can-
ada shall dbe practically dcne with the
war, the army demobilized and the men
home.
That certainly is the right and sess-
ible'course to pursue. 'There should be
no breoking up of the government, and
no election until after the men who
fought in the war are all home and able
to take part in the election.
THE READJUSTMENT
It is said that thousands of men and
women who, a short time ago, wet e earn •
ing good pay, are now idle in the cities
and large towns where the, munition
business . flourished. Everybody knew
that this was coming and that it was
'impossible to guard against it. - Unfor-
tunately many have not saved . their
money as they might have done during
the period of high wages and abundant
work.
The "hard times" which now affects
these idle Hien and women is the begin-
ning of a wave which must pass wee
the whole country, or, indeed, over the
whole world -
See ow it must -.spread. Th!se
thousands were for the past three. years
earning big wages and spending freely.
They were baying clothing, shoss, fur-
niture, chocolates and a thousand othr r
things. AU this buying (so far as those
idle hien and woolen are concerned) will
now stop for a time. They will econ
on.ize. They will buy fewer fancy
things to eat; wear their shoes and cloth-
ing longer, and they will put off buying
the new furniture. This slackening ot-
buying will affect every other industry
in the country, throwing out of employ-
ment clerks, stenographers ani work-
men in every branch of business; and
these again being forced to live less ex-
travagently will themselves aggravate
the condition.
By ar d by there will be a readjust-
nient. Work that was being held back
"until the war is over," until prices of
material come down an I labor a ould be
cheaper, will be undertaken; the idle
folk will be elnulnyed; they will start
o
buy ague, and life and husineas will
go on as before the war.

6OOTLEf IN(i OUT IN It C.
-( I4 ron1 '9or►)nto Saturday Night)
TLe rse and fall from grace of the
former Prohibition Commissioner of
British Co:umbia, W. C. Findlay, is the
general topic of conversation on the Paci
fic Coast. The Prohibitionists are up'in
arms against what they call the niisscsar
riags of justice and .the failure of the
Attorney cleneral's Department to push
the matter to the limit, and the Wets
and lukewarms are wearing a jovial
"gold -you -so" attitude.
Findlay was working for the niggardly
salary of $203 a month as prohibition
commissioner, but when 'be departed
from the piths of rectitude be proved
himself no small piker In his oflici tl
capacity he had authority to impart
liquor for sale in the government dis
pensaries in Vancouver and Victoria.
Either he or someone else csnceived the
_brilliant idea of oto. ordearj,pj it and then
diverting it avfay from these places `cf
official sale. At any rate he ordered
Gooderham & Warta rye by the carload'
and Gad'- the consignment- delivered to
an empty warehouse. It is the general
opinion that several carload lots were
so ordered and sold.
The outbreak of Spanish Inffueuza a
felt' months .ego created a tremendous
demand for the hard stuff and holders
`of medical prescriptions waited in line
for hours in front of the government dis-
pensary here. °There were rumors at the
time that booze could be secured else-
where in anyquantityat 16 00 a bottle,
and there is no doubt that bootlegging
on a big scale was -being carried. on. It
is said that Findlay sold at least 400
cases of the last carload in the State of
Washington.
An overcharge on the part of the C.P.R. '
led to the detection of the scheme. This
an.ount, about $46.00, was being for
warded to the Attorney General's De-
partment and this led to an investiga-
tion. Findlay was notified of his dis
missal pending a full investigation, and
he at ouce heade.d for the border. He
was arrested by a provincial constable
at Biaine and broukht back here.
• He appeared in police court and plead
ed guilty to importing liquor illegally
aid got off with of fine of $1,0J0. As
his profits on one car known Inuit hive
been many times that amount, tbe..cene..
sietinn aroused a great outcry Ai Soon
as his case was disposed of, Findlay
jumped on the Seattle boat bef ,re the
local Hotelmen's Association—(of all
folks)—gots busy and ,issued a warrant
for "breach of the public trait." - This is
not an extraditable offence and the ex=
comtuissioner can snap his fingers.
Attorney -G neral Farris is being se-
verely arraigned by the Prohibitionists
on his management cf the case. They
point out that no restitution was demand-
ed. If a man is found on the street
with a bottle in bis pocket he is ouly
fined $50 but loses the bottle as well
The Prohibition newspaper has:even
gone as far as to ask the Premier to dis-
miss Mr. Farris, to which Mr. Oliver re-
torted, -Nothing doing." The Prohibi-
tionists say they want Findlay to divulge
Always Had
Headaches

Liver Was Torpid and Bilious
Spells Brought Sick Headaches
—Lost Much Time, But is
Now Completely Cured.
Here is convincing evidence that
however much you may suffer from
laver trouble and consequent bilious-
ness there is cure in the use of Dr.
Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills.
Overeating 1s the most common
cause of sluggish liver action. You
lose your appetite, have distressing
bilious spells. usually accompanied by
headache and vomiting. the bowels
become irregular, constipation and
looseness alternating, digestion is up-
set and you get irritable and down-
hearted.
No treatment so quickly awakens
the action 'of the liver and bowels as
Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills. For
this reason this medicine Is wonder-
fully popular and has ,enormous sales.
Mr. Charles Rs Tait, Newtown, N.B.,
writes : "I was nearly always troubled
with headaches, and would often have
to stop work for a day or two. I lost
many a night's sleep every month with
bilious sick headaches, and although
I tried doctors' medicines, and also
many other patent medicines, It was
without success. When I had these
headaches I would vomit. and could
keep nothing on my stomach.
"I purchased a box of Dr. Chase's
Kidney -Liver Pills from G. M. Fair-
weather, druggist, of Sussex, N.B., and
after' taking one box I was so much
relieved that I continued to take them
until I am now completely cured. My
advice to anyone sufferifig from sick
headaches is to try Dr. Chase's Kid-
ney -Liver Pills and be completely
cured."
Mr A. 1rhMacs. i.:P., endori ss- m :
above statement, and says :—"This i$

quainted with Charles,
