hapsthe old Easter custom will be revived

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).

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

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.
