A little reflection will. show how
absolutely unreasonable it is to bold
that a newspaper should not discuss,
or should not allow the discussion of,
any question that is not settled with a
definiteness like that of the Ten Com-
mandments. If the world is to make
progress towards the right conclusion
of things, it must be by discussion
showing the way to proceed. and the
freer the discussion the brighter the
light that will be shed on the way.

that free and candid and fearless dis-

some people seem to suppose, a case of
unalloyed good on one side and sie
mixed evil on t he other. It would
not be possible in the town of (.,ehe•
rich to find 4(3 people who would vote
to uphold theft, or murder, or any
other violation of the recognized Iawi
of God and wan. When 113 people in
a town of this +ire vote in opposition
to local prohibition it means tint

It alight 1.e as well to slate that, ao
far as The Signal is concerned, these
remarks are made in a general sense.
(he Signal's ronntituency is perhaps e
more than ordinarily intelligent and
fair-minded one ; at any rate. no far

i HE TOWN OOUNCIL
• We feel in duty bound tocaythat
Councillor Humber was the only
member to the council who cause out
of Friday cv ening r meeting with Any
especial degree of credit. The other
members of the special committer.
who after deciding upon t 1 recom-
mendation i1 faveof tixinv thee sal-
ary of the asecsor and collector at
*000, failed to stand by their recom-
mendation in council, made a par-
ticularly sorry spectacle of theme
selves.
Councillor Humber made his posi-
tion
clear and -unmistakable. The
council of 1008 at its first meeting.
when several of its member, were
new to their positions. was tricked
into increasing the salary, andC oun-
cillor Humber, as one of More who
were taken by surprise on that occ•.
cion, was manly enough to admit that
a mistake had been made and to try
to remedy the matter by reducing the
salary again to its former figure.
Granting Councillor Humber's con-
tention, this was a very proper thing
to do. If increases of salary are to he
made, they should be made with good
reason. and the councillors should be
in • position to know what they 'are
doing. It was not disproved at last
Friday's meeting that Councillor
Humber's charge was untrue. neither
was it shown that the former salary
was below a tair figure considering
the work to be done, and yet the
members of the special committee.
with the one exception of Councillor
Humber, in the tate of a little opposi-
tion (chiefly on the part of the official
whose eatery was in question, de-
serted their own recommendation
and actually voted against it.
The Signal hue no objection to Mr.
Campbell's getting *ODI from the
town. Indeed, it must he said that
the ability he displayed on Friday
night in taking the council into camp
makes that sum look rather small as
an estimate of his worth. Municipal
officers are generally not too well re-
munerated, and. as The Signal stated
a year ago in discussing this very
question. the ratepayer's do not ask
the council to be niggardly ; hitt s,
far as possible the municipal salaries
/should be Heed in proportion to the
value of the services rendered and, to
revert again to The Signal's article of
• year ago, if the assessor and collec-
tor is fairly remunerated at *(44) the
office of town clerk is worth *1,040.
Indeed, we believe that there is even
a larger disproportion between the
respective value of the work of the
two offices. when competently filled.
However this may be, the Pieria)
committee could well have avoided
the ridiculous incident of Iaat
Friday evening. If the memb•rn of
the committee were not prepared to
stand by their recommendation they
should not have brought it in.
NEWSPAPER DISCUSSION.
The Reeforth hxpositor of last week
bad the following cotnment:
A subscriber writes Co 4441 wanting
to know if the anti -local option adver-
tisements which appeared in The Ex-
positor two weeks agn represent our
own opinions on that subject. end ifs'
we are to discontinue his paper. 1f
our critical friend had looked more
closely he might have seen that not
only did the statements appear in
our regular advertising columns. but
we were careful to mark them "adver-
tisement," so that no person could be
deceived thereby unless they were
looking for a grueyance. Tile• adver-
tisement ram+ to us 111 the ordinary
way of business and had the friend.. of
local option asked for similar space in
our column+ and were willing to pay
the price for it they would have n•-
celeel it. Moreover, these same ad•
vertisements. as well as many others
of a like nature, appeared In The To-
ronto Glob•'and Mar and many rebel
papers that were strong Bopp ttlrs of
the mewl option movement. A paper
should not refuse and has no right to
refuse apace In its advert fitting columns
