Premier Whitney has not yet tackled the problem of the bilingual Schools. "Huron county can hold its own vette the best of them- says The Clio - Aim 'New Era. A good sentiment, and me that cannot be repeated ton often. To complete Hon.Sagi Hughes' hap- piness, somebody ought to start a war in which the valiant Minister could take part at the heal of his Canedian troops. The member for Santis Perth in the House of Commons t;tateethat 4in the course of a few months every section of his riding will be served by rural mail delivery. What is the member for West Huron doing for his tiding in this respect:? Signal appears an aaaounessneot r'f the advantages claimed by the latter county. and we understand Ube county it being advertised in this manner throughout the Province. Aaron county will, have to wake up to the necessity of doing something along this line unless its people are willing to allow the population of the county to dwindle without any proteat on tbeir part. A campaign to build up the home county should be an attractive prop- osition for the people of Huron. Tbis county hes dons its duty towards the populating of the Western Provinces, bbd it is time to commence a stay-at- home campaign. If there were just a trifle less of the political partisan in its make-up, The Goderich Biafra) would be a model paper.-Orillia Packet. Just the comment we always feel like making on The Packet when we peruse its well -edited rwluntos. The campaign to lrrenchity the place names of Ontario is not succeed- ing very well. The Postmaster -Geotel r,bangetl the name of Stoney Point, Essex county, w Pointe MAX Roche,-, but he has since changed it back again to the English name. Somebody evi- dently bas been telling Mr. Pelletier that his job w;ll be in danger if he continue- to antagonize On'ario sen- timent. 1912 will see great expansion in elec- tric railways in Ontario. Huron oounty should prove a good field for enterprise erpris along this line. -Clinton Well, up tbis way mall us may be slightly discouraged about electric railways ; but we are glad to see that our Clintor brother is cheerful. The regular meeting of the Goderich breach of the Women's Institute will be held at the home of Mrs. Jailors McPhee, ('embria road, on Thursday. April lth. at 3 o'clock. Everybody welcome. It the Senate's activity bothers the Comet votives in office sufficiently to convert them tc advocacy of the abol- ition of the second chamber. there should be no objection from journals which have consistently favored the single -chamber system. The Montreal Star is waking a pathetic attempt to keep up its faith in the Borden Government's inten- tions regarding naval defence. By the time the Government has floisilfrd "consulting the. Admiralty" and taken a plebiscite on isjs policy, The Star's childlike confidence will have had a severe test. entrants* to the Canadian market, as Canadian goods are allowed freely to eater the Britian market, would he. in the eyes of the Brantford 'anaphor, the wildest nonsense. All the same, Mr. Cocksbutt regal* himself as an 10- periallstic petriot of the first water. The Toronto New, has a babit of making rash ' and weeping statements with utter recklessness of the truth. The other day it stated, in the course of a "tariff reform" har- angue. that "British manufacturers are losing business all over the world save in British colonies where they re- ceive the advantages of sympathetic fiscal preferences.' The London Ad- vertiaer in reply gives the fads. show- ing that Britain's experts to foreign countries have increased in ten years from £25'000,000 to 1374,000,000, and its exports to other British countries bave increased from £102,000,000 to £150,000,000 Readers of The News .houfd be on guard against too read- ily swallowing its statements on poli- tical matter.. Legislation introduced in the Legis- lature by Hon. 1)1. Pyne is going to make it harder than ever for young people to dodge an education. it is proposed to make attendance at night school -ompulsory in the case of boys and girls between the ages of fourteen and seventeen whose education has been neglected. • Every crisis which the .lwluith Governmebt is railed upon to face detnonstiates more clearly than be- fore the fact that Britain's affairs, so far an human agency can go, are swayed by a master hand. Mr. As- quith displays a courage and ,t .toying power that inspire confidence in the midst of world-shaking alarms. The Stratford Beacon is to be con- gratulated upon the outcome of two libel caw in which it was the defend- ant and in each of which it had to pay one cent damages, The cases arose Quer the publication of a personal item which was sent to the°Moe, with what put ported to be the signature of the sender. and was published ir. good faith. It turned out to be one of those detestai'le tricks which are some • - times practised by people with lees sense t malice, who play the cow- A NERVOUS aid and conceal their identity at the expense of an innocent party -in this come The Beacon. The persons men- tioned in the item considered that it reflected upoo them and took proceed- ings to collect damages. Chancellor Boyd. who vied the eases, thought the publishers had exercised due care betote inserting the item, and a ver- dict was entered for one cent damages in each caw.

At Ottawa during the present ses- sion a Western member of the House of Commons declared that la member could not utter a protest against the exactions of the combines with- out rousing some combinester on the Government side of the House.

Conservative members for East Elgin and Haidimand, CAMP to the defence of the combine, but, were led ioto cnn- fessians which did not help their case at all. With the Bag Interests so di- rectly represented in Parliament, it will rrquire vigilance and persever- ance in large degree no the part of Opposition members to prevent them from getting even a tighter grip on the people than they already have. Cm.er'vative papers are rejoicing over the decision of the United States House of Representatives in favor of the removal of the duty on sugar, and declare that it will be a great boon to the beet sugar industry of Western Ontario. bave the Conservative or- gan. 50 .non forgotten their warnings of the dire consequences to follow upon doing !waleres with the Csited States?

Would Go the Limit. Grain Grower's Guide. Wby is every profectioniet country constantly revising its tariff? Because no tariff ever has been devised or ever aro he devised which is not unjust to some ocortion of the people. The only way to remove the injustices and in- equalities of the tariff is to remove the tariff itself, Too Much -Big Talk. tMtlla Packet The Guide say. that Pnrt Hope water is "the flneet in the Province." What doss The Guide know shout the water of the rest of the Province? This sort of talk, following the lead of the United States, is growing more and more common in the Canadian press. and it is very ridiculous. Something for Posterity. Ottawa a ycizen. Tbe uses of moving picture photog- raphy ►re many and varied. At a society wedding on Riverside Drive in New York, a moving picture artist was engaged to record in motion pic- tures the whole ceremony, 8o that generations yet unborn may enjoy the novelty of vicarious attendance at the wedding of their parents. grand- parents. or great -great-grandparents as the case may he. is This the y.easoo ? Hiug.too sbtndard. Perhaps at the bottom of the whole thing is the fact that the women on the farm are overworked, have noth- ing like the social advantages that their city friends bave and have very few amusements. Tbe life of the woman on the farm is far harder than that of the man. It is little wonder that she does not encourage ber bey to become a farmer. The Most Crowded City. Pittsburg Oastte Times. For gond many years New York has posaeased the unenviable distinc- tion of being the most crowded city in the world. Travellers sometimes speak of the "teeming millions" of Chinese cities like Canton and Peking, having gained their impression frSm tbe swarms in the streets, ov Hooking the fact that most of the buildings are not more than one or two storeys in height, and consequently there are not nearly so many huddled together to the acre as in a centre of population like New York with its lofty tenement structures. After the election of September last The Signal stated that tbe Laurier Government was not defeated squarely on the reciprocity issue. Here is evidence directly to the point. The Orangemen of Bilti.h ('olumbie thought they were fighting "priestly machine -manipulators," whatever they may toe, and that instead of de- feating reciprocity they were giving a lesson to "the hordes of Jesuits." And down in Quebec the Nationalists were voting against the Government for an entirely different reason. What chance bad reciprocity in shim whirlpool of blind prejudices? Mr. (ocksbutt, M. P., of Brantford. wants Canada to do something "great and grand" for the Empire in the way of naval defence; hut be objects stren- uously to allowing British goods to enter Coned* under a preferential tariff.

Moncton Transcript. it is a peculiarity of the voting on the question of church union between the P'r-eshyterien, Methodist and Con- greg+conal chinches that the rural districts as a rule appear to be more favorable to union than the urban a•mmunities. Why is this? Is it not noer•ible that the tat ben communities. having stronger congregatlnns under .ach ort, do not feel the bawdss of maintenance of rival oongregatiobs to the same extent, whereas in the rural districts or small villages the burden of maintaining two or three cbutebea with about the same tbeeingital views militates against a strong church f Some towns possibly therefore vote against church anion, becaus.
