L'Evenement, of Quebec. points out the harm that Mr. Hourassa is doing to the Allied cause among the people of Quebec by his wntings, and calls upon the Govermnern to check hien. It say's: "It is not unjust, in lact, to say that the treason of Bolo Pasha is Tess ap parent after his trial than that of Mr. Bourassa even before an investigation lie has, in fact. many times. written that we must not wish a victory for England and her Allies, ant we ask here and now if there is another country in the world where in wartime such language would not be immediately punished by death. We must ask, in fact, if the Government's tolerance of the enemy if the British Em- pire is not an evidence of weakness, for although we do not like evere measures we find exceedingly grave the fact of al- lowing such a dangerous than to continue his work of demoralization. Do not people realize that amongst the conscripts whom the law is sending overseas there are thdusands of young French-Cana- dians who have read in the Bourassa - pamphlets that England is responsible for this horrible war, and that it is not a gOod cause they are going to defend? Is it not the duty of the Government to take- measures to prevent this public poier from inoculating young muds with that virus which may make rebels of the soldiers? For our part, Mr. Bourassa possesses a malady of balled of everything that is English. and he is working to d each a ,lisle people from their duty.' The old Borden Government either was afraid, or thought it would not be good politica. to suppress I3ourassa, and the Government of today appears to have as little nerve as its predecessor. If an On- tario man wrote as Bourassa does. he would be squelched in mighty short order. DEGRADING THE SENATE. The Stratford Herald fCansesvat4ve) discusses recent appointments to the Sen- ate in candid fashion. It gays: Although The Herald ttllsdently sup- ported the cause of Union Government In the campaign of December last, it does not regard itself as obliged ssy'.rl6ttoto every act of the Government,,:atd it re- grets it cannot lend approval to the Gov- ernment's policy in regard to Senat hal appointments. The appointment of two new Senators has been officially an- \ Pounced, Messrs. John Wetster, es -M. P. of Brockville, and Mayor K. Mulholland of Port Hope. aad for s hat reason? Merely that they had respectively re- tired to open the way for seats in the House of Commons ns for Hon. Sir Thos. White and Hon. N. W. Rowell. We do not impugn the ggemt and valu- able services of these milkmen when we say the reason for appointment is lament - ally deficient. The time has come to dis- solve the Senate if it is to bo depreciated into a mere medium of reaand for per- sonal service. in the first place. if these stun had been of large calibre, they would not have been suppressed in favor of the two statesmen. Only men of neg- ligible importance would have made way as they did, which is another indication that their appointment brings no needed access of ability to the Senate. The pro- cess to which the Union Government in Ibis case has committed itself is that of 6�saptn ng and degrading the Senate, and have been leaking W that Govern- ment for exemplification of lofty prin- ciples and practices. and for departures from stale methods of the past! Fine man that he is, Sir Robert Bor- den appears to be a slave to usage and to wealth when he comes to select car.di- dates for the Senate. He has exhibited not the first sign of desire to use his pre- rogatives with respect to the Senate on broad, correct principles. but instead has betrayed devotion to extreme ,Tor ism; and the Liberal infusion of the Cabinet has brought no modification in this mat- ter. indeed we tiod Hon. Mr. Rowels handing out a seat in the Senate as a re- ward for making way for himself in the Commons. This is a matter that sill stand discussion by the press and public. for here is a crying abuse that even the Union Government callously proposes to perpetuate.

Goderich Merchants carry stocks that inhale practically everything that any- body needs to buy. When you buy from them you see what you are getting, and you have no express charges to pay. A Toronto despatch announces that.. as a result of a caucus of the Liberal members of the Legislature at the dose of the session, Mr. W. Proudioot. eho was chosen to succeed Mr. Rowell temporarily as Leader of the Opposition in the Lssal House, will continue in that capacity. t. The new Provincial election act, pro- viding that the voters' lists are to be prepared be enumerators appointed by the returning officers—in other cords, by partisan appointees --outrages the prin- ciple of fair elections.

March In. -The Legislature finished its work on Thursday afternoon, the 21st inst., and adjourned until Tues- day next, at 3 p. m.. when prorogation will take place. The Prime Minister, to- wards the close of the session. expressed his appreciation of the co-operation of the leader of the Opposition and his Liberal colleagues in fors aiding 'tile business of the House without unnecessary obstruc- tion. It has been a quiet session and there has been :almost an entire absence of earty bickerings. 7 he outstanding matters which have been dealt with during the session are bills dealing with the following subjects: Civil service reform, public health, amend- ing the Ontario Temperance Act. pro- viding machinery for possible by-elections, providing for a Government fish distribution scheme, to stimulate produc- tion, to improve the factory laws, and the billextending the life of the Legiw laturel Lengthy discussion developed over the Government's venereal disease bill. chiefly over a clause respecting the pur- chase of drugs. Druggists maintain that they should be allowed to sell patent medicines, whilst the medical profession contend that doctors alone should be al- lowed to prescribe. The bill as passed per- mits druggists to Deli approved drugs without a doctor's prescription. An animated discuseton took place over the emmega a to ance Aeta�peeiat4 - aver rise C i wouki favor people owning private yachts and ether boats. h}- prohibiting liquor on vessels employed for purposes 01 ga n. The Liberals fought this clause and at thrtsttggestion of the Prime Minister it was w thdraa-n. Mr. Destine of South - we t Toeonto, moved to reduce the board of license commissioners from five mem- bers to one. This s as voted down by the Government. Vigorous objection was raised Jy the Liberals in the House to a clause in the new Election Act providing that enumer- ators should be appointed b) the return- ing officer in the ridings. The Opposi- tion wanted the enumerators to be ap- pointed by the registry board. as was pro- vided in the Act passed last year. but their arguments were lost upon the Gov- ernment and this clause remains. Sir William Hearst said there was nO thought of an election being hekt, and he believed that both sides of the House were against an election being held. and in reply to Mr. Proudkot the Attorney -General stated that many changes would be neces- sary before the Act could be used m a general election. Mr. Elliott's bill in favor of women being represented in the Legislature was defeated by the Government on the gr,und that there was no demand as yet for this advanced leg elation. The Prime Minister particularly mentioned that as no election was in view the natter might be left for mo'e mature consideration. Mr. C. M. Bowman (West Bruce) strongly ly criticised the Government's fish distrition scheme, claiming that the Government had fixed prices to be paid for fish without proper investigation and that the figure to be paid to the fishermen was insufficient. He com- mended the Government for its campaign to' increase the consumption of fish. but emphasized the danger of dealing pith the question in a aay which might defeat the very objects the Government had Our Boy Hero. t relb/he lovedfus crapped him round.

Mrs. C. Forsythe, R. R. No. 2. Fisher- vilk, Ont., says : "At the age of four- teen my daughter Viola was feeling very much rundown in the spring. Then she was attacked with whooping cough which left her a complete wreck. She had ro appetite, could not sleep well nights and was subject to chills which sometimes kept her in bed for the day. She was doctoring steadily. but not ap- parently getting the least benefit, and D naturally grew very anxious. One of my neighbors suggested giving her Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills, and I got a box. When she began using the pills she weighed only eighty-seven pounds. Before the box was all gone I sent and got six more boxes, and under their use she constantly grew stronger. Her appetite improved the color came hack to her cheeks. she could deep well, and feels and looka like a diberent person, and with all this while using the pipounds tails she gained twenty pnds in weight."
