Government the total expenditure on

fiscal year of the Laurier Government
the total expenditure on both consoli-

$122,861,250. For the second complete

in three years consolidated fund ex-

$39,000,000 while total expenditure has

THE SNIDER-11ANNA EPISODE.
The Liberals have good reason to
contemplate with unmixed cheerfulness
the prospect of fighting a general elee-
tion with Mr. J. W. Hanna as the real
leader of the Conservatives. Mr. Han-
na has legislative ability, and he has
fair ildministrative and organization
talent, but he is not the type of man
fo the leadership of a political party,
and under no circumstances could he
become a popular statesman.
Nothing could better illustrate this
than the recent Scott Act contest in
Peel, Huron and Welland. Mr. Snider,
Chief Government Inspector of Licenses
under Mr. Hanna, appeared in all three
of these counties and busied himself
with trying to pereuade the Conservative
temperance workers to drop the Scott
Act and fall back on local option by-
laws. When public attention was
drawn in the Legislative Assembly to
the efforts Mr. Snider was making. Mr.
Hanna stated distinctly that if Mr.
Snider had been doing what the Liberals
accused him of he lied played his part
on his own personal responsibility, be-
cause he had not been ordered to go to
the counties.
This explanation by the Provincial
Secretary has all the earmarks of a bit
of falsification, which leaves the hearer
or reader unconvinced. The public
will still be sceptical about the relations
between the two men, and will incline
to the belief that Mr. Hanna not mere -
to knew where M. Snider was when he
was in the contested regions, but knew
before that he w ,s going there. If Mr.
Hanna wants tc clear himself of com-
plicity in this pretty effort to please
his liquor selling masters, he will
have to appoint a commission of ievesti-
gation before which Mr Hanna should
give evidence himself.— Exchange.

very certain. There must be still, he
said, prudence and caution. Mr. White
might have spoken more correctly had
he omitted the word "still." The re-
sults of his financial administration for
the past fiscal year certainly showed no
evidenee of prudence or Caution. It
would have been the part of prudence
or caution to have put the brakes on his
spendthrift colleagues, and kept ex-
penditures within bounds, in the falling
revenue. But instead of that expendi-

attack of the present Government upon
that road.
Premier Borden, Colonel the Hon. Sam

Virginia. The problems and cares of

Parliament and probably put through
under closure. Thus is the public served,
and the cause of good government goes
ON. .
1 It is significant that airione the liet of
Conservative speakers on the N.T.R.
'debate who rose to defend Messrs.
Gutelius and Lynch -Staunton there was
not included the name of Hon. Samuel
Barker, a fellow townsman of the Ham-
ilton lawyer. Mr. Barker is perhaps
the only practical railway man in the
House of Commons. He has had along
experience in railway construction work
and his contribution to the debate
might have been considered as an ex-
pert opinion. Moreover, it might have
been expected that he surely would have
been one of the first to rise in defence
of Mr, Lynch -Staunton. Throughout
the debate he sat silent. Can itbe that
his silence gave consent to the merci-
less criticisms of the misrepresentations
and inconsistencies of the investigating
Commissioners' findings?
Although Hon, W. T. White ignored
the high cost of living problem in his
budget statement. except in so far per -
hap, as to give it another boost by in-
creasing pries to the consumer by
raising the tariff on the raw materials
of manufacture, the public unfortunate-
ly, cannot ignore the fact that the cost
of living is still going up. The March
statement of the labor department,
giving the index number of wholesale
prices, shows that there has been an-
other increase in the cost of living
during the month. The index number
now stands at 136.7 as compared with
136.1 in February and 136.0 in March
of last year. The more important in-
crease occurred in grains and fodder,
animals and meats, canned salmon,
vegetables, flour, and oat meal. The
Packers, the Canners and the Millers
about whom Mr. White is oio solicitous
must keep their rrotection;for the con-
sumer there is no oonsiderarion.
Childhood Constipation
Constipation is one of the most com-
mon ailments of childhood and no child
suffering from it thrives well. To
banish it no other medicine acts so
promptly and surely as Baby's Own
Tablets They never fail to bring re-
lief. Concerning them Mrs. Domini-
que Ferland, St. Michel, Que., writes:
"I consider Baby's Own Tablets a mar-
vellous remedy for little ones. I gave
them to my baby for constipation and
they soon made him well again." The
Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or
by mail at 25 cents a box from the Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
THE WEEK IN THE LEGISLATURE.
CONSERVATIVE YOUNG MEN
Quite the most significant event of
the week was the deputation of Con-
servative members of the Ontario
Young Manhood Association, which
waited upon the Government and pres-
ented a petition signed by 9000 Conser-
vatives asking for mere advanced tem-
perance legislation by the Government.
The petition requested: —
"That youpass an Act in the Leg-
islature abolishing all liquor shop,
bar, and Club licenses in the Pro-
vince, such legislation to come in-
to effect only—and thereupon auto-
matically—after a majority of votes
have been cast in its favor, in a
plebiscite on the question, present-
ed to the people within a year af-
ter the passing of the said Act."
The memorial signed by the depu-
tation representing the Executive,
declared:
"Supporting loyally as we have
done, and as we do now, the gener-
al record of the present° Govern-
ment and its many advanced poli-
cies, it would be with reluctance
that we should find ourselves oblig-
ed to forsake the Conservative
party in order to see a Liberal
Temperance proposal through, but
if the present situation -continues we
will feel morally bound to pursue
that course."

Sec. 117 of The Canada Temperance Act states that the restrictions of the Act do not apply
to liquor shipped or sent to any person for their personal or family toe; as long as it is
not paid for in the Scott Act county.

necessities. There are no beverages more essentially necessary to the health and vitality of the whole

The petition presented was over 200
yards long. It would have extended
from the door of the Parliament Bldgs.,
past Sir John A. McDonald's momu-
ment to College Street, or, if it had
been unrolled on Queen and Yonge past
the City Hall to Terauley Street.
The Goyernment was non -committal
in its answer to the deputation. More
of the matter will undoubtedly be heard
as the petition revealed a wide -spread
revolt among the young men of the
Conservative party on the temperance
question.
BLOCKING AGAIN.
G. Howard Ferguson, M.P.P., Chair-
man of the Public Accounts Committee,
on whose behalf with others, the speci-
al indemnity Bill was rushed through
at the recent all-night Session, and who
was chairman of the notorious Public
Accounts and Privileges and Elections
Committees last year, is again using
the steam roller. The Liberals are
making an effort to have the actions of
Inspector Snider against the Canada
Temperance Act in Peel, Huron and
Welland probed and the Liberal mem-
bers of the Public Accounts Committee
moved that the Committee ask the Leg-
islature to allow them to go into this
matter. Mr Ferguson, however, ruled
the motion out of order. Mr. Proud -
foot appealed from the ruling of the
Chair, but the majority sustained Mr.
Ferguson. This, too, is a matter of
which much more is likely to be heard.
GOOD ROADS
The Highway Commission in its re-
port to the House recommended for
good roads a capital expenditure of
$30,000,000 extending over fifteen years
the Province to contribute $12,000,000,
Counties $12,000,000 and the Cities $6,-
000,000; a Highway Department to be
created under a Deputy Minister; an
increase in the test on Motor Vehicles
on a horse power basis to bring in $400,-
000 a year and a light tax on horse-
drawn vehicles.
GREY.
The death occurred in Toronto on
Thursday morning, April 2nd, of Wil-
liam Bateman, one of Grey township's
pioneers. Mr. Bateman had been re-
siding in the Queen city with his son
for the past couple of years. He was
in his 81st year. The remains were
brought to Brussels for interment.
Jas. Armstrong took possession of
the farm he recently purchased from
D. Robertson on Monday of this week,
Mr. Armstrong expects to move his
family over in a few weeks. This farm
was taken up by the late Thos: Robert-
son 65 years ago and has been held by
the Robertson family until now. Don-
ald Robertson left on Thursday of last
week for Hannah, N.D., where he ex-
pects to spend the summer at least.
An old resident of the 3rd con., pass-
ed away on Wednesday of last week in
the person of Jane Wilson, relict of
the late John McCartney. Deceased
was in her 82nd year and had been fail-
ing in health for the past three months.
Mrs. McCartney was born in Ayrshire,
Scotland, and after coming to Canada
snent several years in Toronto before
moving to Grey township. 48 years
ago she was united in marriage to the
late John McCartney, who died ten
years ago, and who took up the farm
on which Mrs. McCartney resided up to
the time of her death. She is survived
by a family of four sons, Robert and
James, at home; Hugh, of Tugask,
Sask.; and William, of Milestone, Sask.;
and three daughters, Mrs. Geo. Tucker -
smith; Mrs. Nelson Cardiff and Mrs.
Wm. Turnbull, Grey.

Conservative speakers on the N.T.R.
'debate who rose to defend Messrs.
Gutelius and Lynch -Staunton there was
not included the name of Hon. Samuel
Barker, a fellow townsman of the Ham-
ilton lawyer. Mr. Barker is perhaps
the only practical railway man in the
House of Commons. He has had along
experience in railway construction work
and his contribution to the debate
might have been considered as an ex-
pert opinion. Moreover, it might have
been expected that he surely would have
been one of the first to rise in defence
of Mr, Lynch -Staunton. Throughout
the debate he sat silent. Can itbe that
his silence gave consent to the merci-
less criticisms of the misrepresentations
and inconsistencies of the investigating
Commissioners' findings?
Although Hon, W. T. White ignored
the high cost of living problem in his
budget statement. except in so far per -
hap, as to give it another boost by in-
creasing pries to the consumer by
raising the tariff on the raw materials
of manufacture, the public unfortunate-
ly, cannot ignore the fact that the cost
of living is still going up. The March
statement of the labor department,
giving the index number of wholesale
prices, shows that there has been an-
other increase in the cost of living
during the month. The index number
now stands at 136.7 as compared with
136.1 in February and 136.0 in March
of last year. The more important in-
crease occurred in grains and fodder,
animals and meats, canned salmon,
vegetables, flour, and oat meal. The
Packers, the Canners and the Millers
about whom Mr. White is oio solicitous
must keep their rrotection;for the con-
sumer there is no oonsiderarion.
Childhood Constipation
Constipation is one of the most com-
mon ailments of childhood and no child
suffering from it thrives well. To
banish it no other medicine acts so
promptly and surely as Baby's Own
Tablets They never fail to bring re-
lief. Concerning them Mrs. Domini-
que Ferland, St. Michel, Que., writes:
"I consider Baby's Own Tablets a mar-
vellous remedy for little ones. I gave
them to my baby for constipation and
they soon made him well again." The
Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or
by mail at 25 cents a box from the Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
THE WEEK IN THE LEGISLATURE.
CONSERVATIVE YOUNG MEN
Quite the most significant event of
the week was the deputation of Con-
servative members of the Ontario
Young Manhood Association, which
waited upon the Government and pres-
ented a petition signed by 9000 Conser-
vatives asking for mere advanced tem-
perance legislation by the Government.
The petition requested: —
"That youpass an Act in the Leg-
islature abolishing all liquor shop,
bar, and Club licenses in the Pro-
vince, such legislation to come in-
to effect only—and thereupon auto-
matically—after a majority of votes
have been cast in its favor, in a
plebiscite on the question, present-
ed to the people within a year af-
ter the passing of the said Act."
The memorial signed by the depu-
tation representing the Executive,
declared:
"Supporting loyally as we have
done, and as we do now, the gener-
al record of the present° Govern-
ment and its many advanced poli-
cies, it would be with reluctance
that we should find ourselves oblig-
ed to forsake the Conservative
party in order to see a Liberal
Temperance proposal through, but
if the present situation -continues we
will feel morally bound to pursue
that course."

tit cit, Notice No
Sec. 117 of The Canada Temperance Act states that the restrictions of the Act do not apply
to liquor shipped or sent to any person for their personal or family toe; as long as it is
not paid for in the Scott Act county.
Whether you voted for the Scott Act or not does not prevent you, as a private citizen, from en-
joying as usual, your accustomed glass of healthful and appetizing"Ale, Porter or Canada Club Lager,
Temperance legislation never has, and never will prevent/personal liberty as regards household
necessities. There are no beverages more essentially necessary to the health and vitality of the whole
household than pure, wholesome light Ales and Beers; the percentage of Alcohol is very low and com-
bined with the high extract properties of Malt and Hops they make health -giving tonics for old and
young alike, and are prescribed by leading physician -the world over.

The petition presented was over 200
yards long. It would have extended
from the door of the Parliament Bldgs.,
past Sir John A. McDonald's momu-
ment to College Street, or, if it had
been unrolled on Queen and Yonge past
the City Hall to Terauley Street.
The Goyernment was non -committal
in its answer to the deputation. More
of the matter will undoubtedly be heard
as the petition revealed a wide -spread
revolt among the young men of the
Conservative party on the temperance
question.
BLOCKING AGAIN.
G. Howard Ferguson, M.P.P., Chair-
man of the Public Accounts Committee,
on whose behalf with others, the speci-
al indemnity Bill was rushed through
at the recent all-night Session, and who
was chairman of the notorious Public
Accounts and Privileges and Elections
Committees last year, is again using
the steam roller. The Liberals are
making an effort to have the actions of
Inspector Snider against the Canada
Temperance Act in Peel, Huron and
Welland probed and the Liberal mem-
bers of the Public Accounts Committee
moved that the Committee ask the Leg-
islature to allow them to go into this
matter. Mr Ferguson, however, ruled
the motion out of order. Mr. Proud -
foot appealed from the ruling of the
Chair, but the majority sustained Mr.
Ferguson. This, too, is a matter of
which much more is likely to be heard.
GOOD ROADS
The Highway Commission in its re-
port to the House recommended for
good roads a capital expenditure of
$30,000,000 extending over fifteen years
the Province to contribute $12,000,000,
Counties $12,000,000 and the Cities $6,-
000,000; a Highway Department to be
created under a Deputy Minister; an
increase in the test on Motor Vehicles
on a horse power basis to bring in $400,-
000 a year and a light tax on horse-
drawn vehicles.
GREY.

Thursday morning, April 2nd, of Wil-
liam Bateman, one of Grey township's

siding in the Queen city with his son
