' Rural mall delivery would be a boon to the Banters of Canada, but the pres- ent so-called mala delivery le practically a farce. A rural delivery along mail routea is unfair and partial. Possibly the ckptnse is too great to fully intro- -duce the boon, at the rate our public debt is now increasing. About forty- six tniltien dollars were added to the debt laet year tend more must be added teas year and next. Millions of this go to help corporations, railways. to pay bounties. etc., and enrich capitalists. But the common people, the ordinary tax payer. Is not considered; except as the eource of supply, the fellow who pays ter bels for the more fortunate chaps.

That rhe bill recently introduced In the House of Commons by Mr. E. N. Lewis, M. P. for West Huron to lessen the tramp evil end nulsanre Is a conunend- abl' tele, and worthy of tee hearty en- dore.'.'lon and support of every mem- ba: I.t the House. The Saturday Night, swum meg on the BI11, says, Mr. Lewis wants 2(1,iOO acres set aside for pris- on farms where tramps who now roam at large, a menace to the community, may be put to work. Mr. Levels has mov ed n resolution in the Ottawa House, whereby 10,000 acres may be set aside in the Province of Ontario and another 10,00(1 acres in the Province of Quebec for this special purpose. Tht btll fur- ther asks that these tramps be kept buoy farming, making roads or materiai for roads until such time as the I nepec- to- -hall certify that the prisoner Is able and willing to earn his own liv- Ing. The suggestion is one which should meet with a great deal of favor. but why stop at tramps. Why not make the provision a sweeping one and include all pHs otters who are physically cap- able of earning a dollar by the sweat of their brows. Our forefathers did some things better than we do, and among them was employing pileaners as road ptakcre. Ontario's roads are poor. not so bad as t.ose of the neighboring Province of Quebec, 1 will admit. but bad enough. Matey honest dollars are spent on fruit yearly, but the mileage is large in competition with the dollars spent. and the results are what tray be expected In spreading tau aforesaid dol- lies over too much territory. Our pres- ent method 1s to make roads this Year and when next spring comes we are ob- liged to stake them over again ; all the result of poor road making in the first instance. Our jails arc filled with . big hulks of ihumanity, whose strength could be well utilized throughout the Province. Such erotic is a public benefit a•hd would not come Into competition with honest labor, for no one wants to work on a road 11 there is anything better in sight. It would reileve the farmer and the tax- paycre genteelly, and Incidentally bring the tIty man more closely In touch with country life. Healthy outdoor exercise would do prisoners a world of good. It would not only Improve them phyr irally, but morally as well. Hard work Ii ttlr,a,tla ttLAaAa,i ter s rrr. Guelph's tax rate will be 14' :Willa.
