With eggs at their present prices. per- hapsthe old Easter custom will be revived to the extent of eating two. A t,oderich citizen who has been read- I ing the reports of the Dunnville investi- gation opines that the big knitting lac• tory there must have been making night- caps rather than sweaters. The Mcntreal Star rings the bel! when it says : '•if the M. P.:s had anything like the same respect for the public money I they have for their own we could get'. along with a lot less taxes." The Farmers' Sun vigorously advocates the tax on Hydro power recommended by' the special committee of the Legislature. The Government does not appear to be anxious to adopt the recommendation. A cmtroversy is going on as to whether the man who drinks or the man who abstains lives longer. Under the O. T. A. it is the man who wants to drink who lives longest -it is so long between drinks. Michigan is considering the re•estab- hshin of is g capital {aunt-hment, in view of the prevalence of crime within the State. The death penalty is rather an ugly proposition fon; the condemned murderer• but it has probably kept a good many fellows out of that class. Bonar Law has resigned from t Unionist Government of Grbt Britain: owing to ill -health. Premier Lloyd George's position is greatly weakened thereby, for Mr. Bonar Law kept the Conservative party stron;ly in line be- hind the coalition Government, and it is doubtful if cnyone else can perform the feat. France is preparing to spring "a good one" on the United States, in the shape of a claim for some billions of francs for French assistance in the American revolu- tion, with compound interest for about 150 years. France borrowed large sums from the States during the recent war and would like to tender in payment a re- ceipted bill for the old account. It will be interesting tq hear Washington's view (Washington. D. C., not George Wash ington). Ito lar a weeeat Iwo of The Canadian I 'r'.try Magazine. \L'. 11. 11.

A proposal is made that Mipisters of the Crown be allowed to sit in either the Commons or the Senate when matters affecting theirdepartmente are under con- sideration. Threes members of the Meighen Government are in the Senate• and the Commoners have todiacuss the estimstrs qf. their departments Without their pres- ence. R simpler way of overcoming the difficulty would be to provide that Min- isters must be members of the Hcu.e of Commons It is rather a acaudal that a man who cannot find a constituency to elect him ifhould be placed in an unrepre- sentative seat in the Senate and from that vantage point be allowed to administer a department. The Senate may have its uses though they are hardly discernible to the naked eye -but the House of Commons. the representative body, should have wahin its membership all the executive members of the Cabinet. The poi -diet' taken by The Farmers' Sun with reference to Hydroelectric power may tend somewhat to theextreme, but it is not so unreasonable as some people would try, to make it seem. Our neighbor The Clinton News -Record says: "Goderich township pays nothing for the hydro used by Clinton. Clinton paid nothing for hydro until she connected up with it on her own account. To read the Sun articles one would think that the Government was developing all this power and distributing it, like a cruel step- mother, only to favorite children." Suppose the county of Huron owned a road -making outfit and rented it (like hydro, "at cost") to the municipslities in the northern part of the county only, retuning to rent it to the southern muni- cipalities, except on terms with which they could not comply. Would there not be a howl from Tuckeranith, Stsoley end the rest of the southern ig/%ieipelitiees ? Suppose, moreover, that the county financed the purchase of the "How Delicious"7A-tt is tks opinion of iJl wino have once tried !I 5711 II YOU ha not tried it, send us a post card for a free sample *tenni'ekeprice you now pa and if you use Black, i revs or Mxed Tea. Address Salada,Toronto outfit, assuming' the liah!lity of loss from some unforeseen mishap (lust as the Province woul l lose it the Chippewa development should be a failure). Would not the neglected townships raise a still greater howl ? Of course they would. The Farmers' Sun is trying to drive home the fact that the pow r be- longs to the Province. not to any particu lar part or parts of the Province. and in this The Sun is quite right Further. we fancy that if The News -Record would look into the Provincial t n- ances it would find its statement that the Hydro "is not costing the other muni- cipalities a cent" is rot correct by a good many thousands of dollars. We have not the Provincial records at hand, but we understand there has been paid from Provincial funds, since the inception of the hydro undertaking, a very cons:der- able sum in connection with power de- velopment which is not charged up to th.1 Hydro -receiving municipalities. There is no question that the Ontario Hydro- electric system is a kreat and wonderful thing ; but those who find in it some points for strong otjection are not without good reason on their side. 1r i- tine• to get uw.i iron, the idea that the ft•ner is a .las. apart. 1a dass that 'tun he propitiated or .•x 1,101t141 as Ill.- exteellelloy of the moment nests to suggest.
