Wo many of the big thefts have goo*
unpunished: it was • trite raying that
the thief wad oafs it he did his steal-
ing on a targe enough scale. it will
be curious to watch the effect which
them prosecutions will have up3u the
fortunes of the new Government. Al-
though there was a gnat clamor. in
which Conservative jouroalr loudly
shared, that the guilty persons should
be proceeded agiiinst, it will not be
surpriaiOg if • certain amount of sym-
pathy for the es•Minlstere under pros-
ecution should, develop, and some of
the jo'rrnals which were most loudly
insistent that the Norrie Governnteot
should take action would be the first
to leek to direct this sympathy to the
advantage of their party. Time will
tell .
The Toronto News, having changed
id tune io the matter of s wartime
election, is terribly provoked because
Liberal papers have not cheered theirs.
This Kowkash they are taking
about these days is not a new name
for "butter money," but a place up in

Uncle Bain was patting himself oil

in inducing Germany to abandon its
murderous submarine warfare when
the Hesperlan incident shot a totpedo
into his coogratuletior.s.
It is mid that King Albert, Hei-
ght*** hero, coos engaged, incognito,
as a newspaper reporter and worked
seriously at the profession. The cour-
age and nerve developed in seeking
interviews doubtless' helped .him in
facing the Kaiser's legions.
A national "disablement fund" for
the care of invalided or disable
diere returned to Canada has • been
started at Ottawa, one of the first con-
tributions being 4100,000 from Mr.
James Carruthers, the Montreal grain
man. The objects of the fund are
stated thus :
Walking has become popular is New
York, it ie reported, and for the sake
of the exercise business men are welk-

report is that in high social circles
automobiles are beginning to be re-
garded as common, and horse turnouts
are coming back into favor. Hero is
