THE OTTAWA SA74DSAOl2EKS.
The Parliament of ('aned& has been
disgraced by an almost inconceivably
brutal application of the gag. The
Boger. element evidently has the up-

Premier Borden on Wednesday L

EDITORIAL NOTES.
(watch Goderich grow
Two more new industries will give
part of Old Ontario and now we are
being crowded off the map as a part of
New Ontario.' 1t is a sad fate.
The 1Vingham Advance says that
the establishment of the big steal
plant at Sandwich is the result of the
defeat of reciprocity. As reciprocity
had nothing to do with steel, it is
evident that The Advaince is trying to I
gull its readers.
The Nationalists, with one solitary
exception. voted with the Rogers -Bar
den majority- to gag the leader of the
Opposition. This will give Hugh
('lark another opportunity to declare
that the Nationalists are allied with
Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
The Ottawa correspondent of The
Tarorto Newa, writing of tris closure
proceedings, says the Opposition was
"absolutely gulled." Doubtless the
correspondent thought this was a Net-
ter way (from the Conservative staod-
pointi of describing the brutal con-
duct of the majority than acknowl-
edging it to be, as it was, a demonatrae
Lion of sandbagging without a parallel
in Canadian history.
The Coneervatiyes are putting up a
bluff as to what they will do to the
Senate if the Senate kills the naval
bill. It may be that some clay .the
advocates of abolition of the denote
will have their way, but of one thing
we can be sure -the second chamber
will not be abolished by a Conserva-
tive Government. The privilege of
filling vacancies in the second chamber
will not be thrown away.

are not to be under the control of the

Now it must be remembers -d that,

Great Britain to mankind have been,
