EDITORIAL NOTES.
They haven't got that t3i4,000.000
yet.
A Hamilton alderman says that
churches should have fire escapes.
But isn't a church a fire escape It-
self :'
Mr. Rowell is right when he says
there should be no More land grants
to railways. The land should be kept
for the people.
A Windsor man ga: as eeLsix inches
long out of his water tap. We have
not heard of any stlth thing in Gode-
rich, but you can't sex what is In the
water here.
The Wiart.,n Echo suggeste that, in-
stead of giring presents to people who
leave town, the honors ebould be
handed to these who stay and help to
build up the community.
lion. A. G. MacKay, formerly
leader of the Liberal Opposition at
Toronto. was o candidate in the
Alberta elections last week, contest_
ing the city of Edmonton for the Lib-
eraL&. The first report was that he
WWI defeated, but a later return in•
dietteshis election by small major-
ity. Mr. MacKay still bolds the
North Grey scat in the Ontario Legit
nature.
A man was committed to prison at
Ottawa for tefusing to answer a ques-
tion before a Parliamentary commit -
tea At Tot onto it is quite the other
way. Not only is a witness allowed
to refuse to answer a question. hut be
is upheld in his refusal by the com-
mittee, and the question is expunged
from tbe record. The differentia is ac-
counted for by the fact that in the
former case the Conservative majority
wanted an &hewer to the question and
in the latter case it was a Grit who
was seeking information. -
Landlubbers may not object seri-
mealy to the proposed change whereby
"starboard" and "port" io nautical
language are to be altered to •'light"
alsd "left." Until the'proposal is ac-
tually brought into effect, however.
persons who have any difficulty with
the ofd terms might employ a mental
device which we ourself have found
useful. "Port" means the same as
'larboard" and "larboard" begins with
the same letter ea the word "left." So
whoa the captain calla "starboard.'
all you have to do is to remember that
the opposite direction is port, and that
"port" means "larboard." and that
"larboard." begioniog witb the letter
.1,. means "left :" so that "starboard"
mean* "right_" Ry the time you have
it figured out you see that the boat is
taroing to the right, and thus you
know that your calculation is ..orrect.

What ter Senate May Do.
Guelph .Mercury.
.The Mercury has many times taken
occasion to say that the Senate would
act in the hest interests of the whole
nation by checking the course into
which the Churchill -Borden project is
marrying the country. The amount of
the contribution is bad enough but that
is not its wont aspect : it is the fact
that nothing, if it becomes law• can
ever prevent it tram serving as a dan- I
gerous precedent. it will be interest-
ing to note what the Conservative I
'Ross if he carries the Literals in the
journals will say about Sir George

with vehemence by the Liberal mem-
bers, was torsed through by the super
ibr numbers on the Government side.
"•This action simply =cline," de-
clared Mr. J. C. Elliott, Liberal mem-
her for West Middlesex, "that, when-
ever a goestion emharnming to the
Government is caked or embarrassing

The principle involved was con
sidered so important that theease was

tyranny, but a sordid:disregard of the
public interest in the matter. was

conditions, especially the depopula-
tion in country districts and the
scarcity of farm labor, wan voted
down by the tion eensen . Col. May-
berry. Liberal member for South Ox-
ford, in moving the resolution for an
investigation, pointed out that condi-
tions in the country were tar from
being what they should be and that it
was the duty of the Government in
the interests of the farmers of the
Province to give the question the
closest scrutiny. In spite of the
arguments massed in support of his
proposal he was unable to persuade
the Government to take action. -

Mr. Rowell, speaking for the Opposi-

Power on his bill. No Government
funds will be spent directly on the
project. The cost is to be met by the
municipalities from debeoWree.
Tax Reform.

ment was given every opportunity to
