cardine Review.
Canada Should Be a White
Man's Countrg, Sags Mr. Bor-
den, the Conservative Leader.
Ottawa; Oct; 12, 1907.
'The new Minister of Railways re-
aceived an awkward introduction
the Canadian puhiio in the by-election
.at Brockville this week. The seat in
• the Legislature of Ontario which elfr.
eGraham filled, will now bo occupied
by Mr. Donovan, a Conservative, who
has a majority of 325 over Mr. Gra-
ham's friend, Mr. Lewis. This is the
first time for a quarter of a century
-that Brockville has sent a Conserva-
tive to the Legislature, and the ma-
iority is the largest in all that period. -
:The result is the more striking, and
the more humiliating to the, new min-
ister, as lie left his departmental work
and went down to Brockville to as-
sist in the campaign. He had with
• him -also Mr. MacKay the. new leAder
-of the Ontario Opposition, who spoke
•on the same platform with Mr. Gra-
hame and shares in the bitterness of
his defeat. There is now, en under-
current of complaint among Liberals
in the Province that Mr. Graham, for
the sake of a Federal office, not onle
•abandoned his post as Provincial lead-
en but sacrificed • Li. :le I • e -
ency. But the essential element in the
-case Seems to be that the machine
which has been accustomed to operate
in by-elections throughout Ontario,
'and has a dark record. for election
frauds in Brockville, is no longer . in
good condition. The Ross Govern-
ment, which protected the criminals
'from Toronto is no more and the Lon-
-don conspiracy ease has furnithed an
awful warning to the machinists.
How far this affect -d the case, and
how far the offenses of the Govern-
ment'at Ottawa and the character of
the Whitney Administration are re-
sponsible for the change cannot be
stated, but the fact is that a Liberal
-majority of 160 has been turned itito
•-.a. Conservative majority twice as
large.
Politics and the Bench.
A short time ago, when the Parent
'Government in Quebec was in dank
Sir Wilfrid came to the rescue 'and
appointed the Premier to a Federal
eeffice, and thus settled the domestic
• dispute. Now that a now trouble has
.arieen Federal patronage is again in-
voked. One of the Quebec Ministers
who had to ' quit office is yet to be
f provided for, but Hon. A. Tessier,
Provincial Treasurer, has been remov-
ed in a more kindly way. Sir Wil-
frid has =Se him a judge. It is true
'there was no previous vacancy, but
-there was a judge ready to resign and
his place was made available. This
rapid operation-contrastasearplyewethe
'the treatment of Nova Scotia. That
•-province has hardly been a full Sup-
reme Court bench any time in th:.
last three or four years. For a. long
period two vacanoies existed, and ap-
"I find that Diamond Dyes are the best
- I can always get good, bright and fast
•colors from them. I have used other dyes,
;but they are all inferior."
Mrs Thos. Lavin, Newark, Ont.
The most important thing in connection
with home dyeing is to be sure you get
-the real Diamond Dyes.
Another very important thing is to be

pointments have gone unfilled for a
year or two against the protests of
the Law Society, of the Chief Jus-
tice and of suitors 'whose eases were
Postponed from time to time for
• want of a quorum. Nova Scotia seats
have been kept vacant for the same
reason that the Quebec seat has beet
so quickly filled. That is to suit par-
ty convenience. At present there is a
Member of Parliament with a promise
in his pocket of a Nova Scotia( judge-
ship. He has been carrying it around -
for two or: three &ikons and will
hold it until it is convenient for the
Government to vacate the seatSuch
a member represents hope of office
more than he does the electqrs of his

We teach the " Gregg" System of
Shorthand because we know it is the
best. • .
It is written in • one straight line
and based on the movement required
to write ordinary longhand. It re-
quires no shadings, back slants or
vertical strokes which are " hard to
remember " and require "slackening
up" to make correctly.
The Gregg is thus easier to learn,
write and read. A speedy, accurate
stenographer is the result.
The Principal of our Shorthhnd
Schoolggraduated under the author
of the Gregg ". system, and her two
assistants are graduates of the Busi-
ness Educators' Association. You
are assured of the very best -tuition
here. •

illustrated catalogue, which we would
like to mail you free, First lesson
on Gregg sent ,free on application.

ates than we can supply.
