cost of further millions. Later on- say
twenty•hve o fifty years later -if the
millions are not all used up, and it the
supply of power is not exhausted -the
Hydro -radial lines may be eftended to
Huron county and other outlying dis.
tricts. In the meantime the Niagara -
Hamilton -Toronto district, wh ch is aI-
reaoy getting the cream of the Hydro
system. will have been still further built
up at the expense of the rest of the
Province, to such an extent that there will
not be enough people left up this way to
make it worth while to consul. them.
Seriously. it is high time the Province
as a whole asserted its rights

as "humbug" the pretence that their

WHAT KIND OF MEMORIAL?
Just noa: when the question of the kind
of memorial best suited for our fallen
soldiers is a live question, the following
from a recent issue of The Literary Digest
is of more than passing intertst:
Fears that we may again return to "tbe
dismal Stone Age," and repeat the "sculp-
tural atrocities ' that followed the Civil
War as memorials to soldier deeds, are
put forth as warnings for the present. So
great is the dread in some sections that
X, almost anything but a monumental
Memorial is proposed.'" "Hospitals. civic
centres. auditoriums, organs, arches. and
all sorts of things have been suggested aa
appropriate," says The Florida Times-
\ Union (Jacksonville). going on to remind
the perpetrators of all such that whatever
is built is useful. it is not a memorial."
The utilitarian motive gets a jolt from a
number of places. but none more vigor-
ously than this from Jacksonville:
"A hall would be a hall. a hoepital
would be a hospital. anything useful
would be consideeed for its use and sooner
or later the fact would be forgotten that it
was erected tor any other purpose than to
serve the need for which it was used. And
even if the memorial purpose with which
the building was cotopW should be re-
membered it would also be remem-
bered that it was not built solely for
that purpose. It would be a testimonial
in the future that the people of the year
1919 were not willing to spend money
merely in honor of the sokliers1 who
had fought for Amerioin ideals. This
would not be s false impression; it Would
be a fact. It would be like the act or s
man giving his wife a sack of flour or te
piece of household furniture for a birthday
present. The memorial that would be
really expreesive of our admiration and
our gratitude to the American soldier
should semi. thoit anti nothing else. A
cotton factory or a packing -house in their
r wWld be about as appropriate! a
ial as anythmg else that would be
something *lee besides a memorial."
Even a triumphal arch, which has served
