TITURSDAY, DECEMBER 2.5, 1919. in political circles, it was expected last week that Sir /Robert Borden would retire from- the Premiership, and for. the present, from public life. It'apnears that the--Condition,TUr his health is such that he must chOoSe between along and complete rest, and a permanent breakdown. But instead of 'announcing hik re-. tirement, Sir Robert infortned the country that he' would continue to oe- cupy -the office of prime minster, 'but that he would not perfornrany of the duties of first minister. These are to be, assumed hy Sir George Foster, and Sir Robert will take the rest which he so much needs--; It is evideht that had Premier Borden consulted) his own interests he would have withdrawn .from public life altogether, and.that he has eon head of the---Tovernment in order to tide over a 0--itt-te s-"ffictilty. It seems that his followers'in parliameet can -2 not agree upon. a successor, and that ;t is felt that should a, new man be selected it *ould create such .a diVis• ion in the gOvernment Party that E kreak-up, 'followed by the election of a new Misuse 'of Crnmons; .would be inevitable. - Since the war came to.an- end, the.. government. has not had a strong backing of public opinion. Like al: other 'coalition governments it has lacked efficiency in almost everythine but the one' purpose for which it was organized; and the old party antago- nisms do not appear to have been for- gotten. The present inake-shift will pro- long the life of the government. for lowing will be held_together mainly by the fear of defeat should an ap- peal' to the country be made, for no cne can fail to see that an electiOn will result in a .general4iouseelean- ing. • The_ revolt against the old party system, which finds expression in the farmets' movement will; in all likeli- next dominion electipn as it was in the recent Optario election, and eyery month that passes will add. .the strength of the movement, and the longer an eiettion is delayed,"tite more. complete, will the -.house-cleaning be. For this reason It may. be SS well that the present government should con- tinue for'some time. It will give time for the more thorough organ4a- tion Of oubliz opinion, and the parlia- ment which will be .elected *ill be more truly rePresentative than if aa election were.sprung upon the couns, try withOut warning.

It is estimated that in .1914 there were one thousand. nine hunded and sixty-one yards' of brass rail within - two s.blocks of the corner of King and Yonge streets,' and that each day each yard Of rail accommodated on an average of seven different feet. Whither have' gone 'all ..these sporty boy-ees.
