THE PRIVY COUNCIL JUDGMENT.
The judgment of the 1'rivy Council
in the nutter of marriage law in Can-
ada is to the effect that the Provincial
Lgisletures possess sole authority in
legislation relating to tbe solemniza-
tion of marriage. A general marriage
law for the Dominion. such as the pro-
i'tr•ed Lancaster bill, is not within the
powers of the Dominion Parliament.
The law lords refused to answer the
second Question submitted to them
"Does the law of the Province of Qu
lee render null and void, unless oon
trusted before a Rornan ('stholi
priest, a marriage which would other-
wise be legally binding which tabes'
place in such Province (a) between
persons wbo are both Roman Catho•
lies, or (h) between persons one of
whom only is a Roman C'atholic?"
This ie the question brought up by the
Hebert case which is the centre of the
whole agitation on the subject in Can-
ada. The law lords evidently refused
to give an opinion on a hypothetical
question. Evidently the only way to
secure their opinion would be to ^arry
the Hebert case before them, as was
advised.by 81r Wilfrid Laurier during
the discussion on the subject in Parlia-
ment.
In the meantime an agitation may
be carried on to secure an amendment
of the British North America Act
which would give the Pedal Parlia-
ment the authority which it does not
now possess to enact a marriage law
for the whole Dominion ; or the agita-
tion way he dropped in the hope that
the Province of Quebec will itself see
that no undue religious dieciiurina-
tion is allowed to exist under its law.
The Globe concludes some comments
on the decision with this paragraph :
The clergyman or other person
authorised to perform the marriage
ceremony does so as the accredited
agent of the state. He utas- believe
that he is alio divinely appointed, but
marriage before the law in a civil con-
tract involving certain rights and
certain responsibilities. The state
must see to it that civil law, and not
ecclesiastical, shall be supreme in set-
tling whether or not a marriage is
valid. A decision by the Privy Couo-
ci1 that the law of Quebec prevents any
citizen of that Province from electing
whether he shall he married by a
Protestaut or a Catholic clergyman
would of necessity be followed either
by the voluntary repeal of the law by
the Quebec Legislature—which would
he much the better course—or by such
an amendment of the British North
America Act as would place the
solemnization of marriage under the
tootrol of the Federal Government,
and result In bringing Quebec's law
into conformity with that of the other
Provinces.
and loyally under the folds of the
British fin But Bouresea always
has a hobby. The other day this
bobby was the Nationalist piraarrty;
1pter ou, at the time of the Eucbarir-
13 :Congress, he dreamt of a Catholic
ea stair of which he would be the chief
flgare. Today it is annexation, to-
morrow something e1es, acoording to
his vagaries. He must be in the lime-
light. Ha does not know what being
ooneisteot means."
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Mr. Howell gave another aboUeh-
tbe-bar speech at Port Dover on Sat-
urday.
Canada's contribution to the defence
of the Empire ought to he a brigade
of aviators. Mr. Borden'e policy
seems to be in the air.
Premier Borden' and his touring
colleagues are now in France, where
they were heartily welcomed by
President Fallieres.
The West wane 37,000 harvest
hands this year. 1t would be Iikw
robbery to take them .from Ontario,
where they are needed almost as belly
as in the West.
The Hamilton Spectator has been
celebrating its sixty-sixth anniversary.
The Spec. is a great paper, and the
city of Hamilton bas few. if any.
institutions .which do it greater credit.
H. K. Thaw's third attempt to
secure his release from Matteawan
Asylum for the Criminal Inane has
failed. The court decided test his
release would be detrimental to public
safety.
The decision of the Privy Council
in the Canadian marriage case is,
briefly, that the marriage law is in the
hands of the Provincial Legislatures.
I The Dominion Parliament has no

Rodolphe Lemieux. formerly one of
Sir Wilfrid Laurier's Cabinet col-
leagues, has made • statement to the
effect that Mr. Bourses• In his anoes-
atino talk is speaking only for himself
and that the French-Canadian people
are stalwart supporters of the British
Crown. The Liberal ex-Mini.ter pays
hie respects to tbe Nationalist leader
in this fashion :

ports on Lake Huron and the lower
Lakes, and foe shipping interests on all
the Great Lakes. The diversion of
water et Chicago would mean lower
levels on the lakes and either the
rendering useless of many of the larger
boats or immense expenditures for the
