ZANCTUM PARAORAPUS. —The Wraps in the CtovernMent Prliatiog Bureau At Otteeva will ecarcely know what coorse to take One of the purcbtesere of supplies was forced to resign because he "stood irn with the contractors and favored them. ' .A.nother official, who declined to do Anything of that kintl, vvae told that he was not needed any longer It seems hard to please the political bosses. * * * —When the Hydro -electric policy of the Ontario Government was first launcned, some awful things were pre- Oicted by newspapers unfavoreble to the Government. Some declared it was ouly a bluff; the pnliey would, never be carried out. It was said that Premier Whitney was not in touch with his colleagues on the scheme, and if it was carried out, the credit of Ontario would be ruined. It turns out now that the project was not a bluff ; the Government meant what they said. They have "delivered the goods." Premier Whitney used Mr. Beck's finger to press the button. Neither has Ontario's credit been ruin- ed, but rather improved. The pes- simistic press has been silenced by the success of the great undertaking. Cheap power is now being delivered. Berlin baa it; other cities will follow her example. * * * --The aesessment plan and method of taxation in the city of Edmonton appears to attract much attention. It is generally known as the single tax system. Under this plan, land values are taxed for the full value of the land and no tax is levied for any Ina- provement in the way of buildings The assessment in Edmonton arnannts under tbis ocherne, to approximately $30,000,000 with a, rate of 17 naills on the dollar. The owner of a vacant lot is taxed the same amount as the own- er of a lot next to it with a fine house on it, thus giving encouragement for the building up of the city, and dis- couraging the buying of land for pure- ly speculative purposes The system has been found to work very well in Edmonton. In Ontario towne, land held for speculation is not so much in evidente, but if a farmer erects more buildings, or a, citizen improves his propeety, up goes his assessment. It does not seem fair.. —Quebec seems to be a, thorn in the side of our leading politicians. In that province, Henri Bourassa, has been endeavoring to create a follow- ing by raising the elerro that Canada's navy (that is what tbey call it) will be used to help Britain in her wars. Peemier Laurier recently tried to soothe the Quebec voters, by assuring them that the navy is only a small one, and will require :ply an expendi- ture of three per cent. of the revenue, and in any case, our navy cannot go to the help of Britain (who has been so long our guardian) unless the Canadian Parliament decides that it should do so. If it takes as long to debate that question as some otherta, and all the spouters spout, why the weir will be over before our "navy" gets steam up. So after all Quebec need not be alarmed—all this talk about "navy" isncl all the millions Spent on it, are really ts ot intended to be shrions, and there is no•need kiciting. When war breaks out, and Patliament bas tnet, the long-winded speeehes made, the vote taken, and the question decided that the Cana- dian navy ought to help the old. land, why then it will be time enough to be- girt kicking. Now that is ;really the substance of it. But the serious part of it is that Qeebec is a disturbing fac- tor in our politics, and politicians of both stripes teem imbued with the idea that Quebee must be pampered, petted, soothed, given eraidies, or else forsooth, one party may get out, and the other may get in. The sooner Quebec is taught the lesson that she has no epeeial elaine on political favors the better for this Dominion ; and the sooner politicians learn to lay broad foundations for the whole Dominion, and spend less time trying to coax one province either to stay in line, or get into line with them, the more uuited Canada will be, and the greater her progress. As long as it is considered that Quebec is the hob of tine Do- or Quebec must be held, or tesiebec inust be won, there ia sure to be a lack of that unity, whieh is indis- peneabie in successful nation -build, * * * Considerable newspaper (Lisette. sion has been aroused, by what is termed the Henna affair, In brief, it arose as followe ; —13iehop Felton of Lendere and Hon.

Hon. W. J. Helena, MO., was born in Adelaide township, Middlesex, in 1862; elected M.L.A. for Larabton itt 1002; made Provincial Secretary in 1905. The other politician referred to, is Hon. Edward Blake, M.A., K.C., was born in Adelaide township, Middlesex, Oen in 1838; called to bar of Ontario, 18i6; elected to legislative: assembly for Sotreh Bruce, 1867; leader of opposi- tion, 1808-1871, when he formed a government ; resigned, 1872 ; sworn of the privy council of Canada, 1873; minister of justice 1875-1877 ; then he became president of council; leader to opposition in commons., 1880-188/ ; went to the old land and became Na- time:dist M. P. for Longford, in the British Parliament, 1892 to 1907. Lordship believes that a knowledge of the English htngstage is indiepee- sable, toad he is right in his 'boaters - tion. The affair seems to have ereat. ed some friction between the rserteh and English speaking adherente of the Roman Catholie Chureb, as the French tenaciously adhere to their mother tongue. So acute is the feel- ing la ]esex, that the Irish Catholic teachers deserted a coneahrtion of the Freneh Canadians:, and joined the Protestant public echoed teachers* The incident bee thrust the question of bilingual sehoole into the forefront, and though it man be a difficult question, it would seem ineumbent on the Government to deal with 11. What concerns the general public howevete it; the statement of the Rev. Bishop, to the effect that—"The poll- ticiana and Iteench Canadian political agitators do tot control fifteen o eeventeen conntiee be Ontario." He elehne that they have "worked for -tee years under falsified or stuffed cerssus Este, es he the Provinee of Quebec, always with oho end, their single eirn being to eeenre control of Cihureh and State." ThiS Istertainty a bad toetditioe of effeire, and re spires an effeetual remedy, when so prominent, a dignitserk of the Church speaks out so poeitively.

The 3rd Sunday of October in each year having been set apart in the Anglican churches of Canada as Cbildren's Day" it was fittingly cele- brated last Sunday in St. Paul's Cleureh and Sunday School. Special eervice for the children was held at 3 p.m., when the rector, Rev, E. R. Croly, addressed the children on the eubject--"How God eaves and delivers his people," taking his text from Daniel 3:17. Tbe special choir, con- sisting of S. S. pupils, conducted the singiug aod rendered an anthem in a very creditable manner. The services, both tnorning and eveniug, were also appropriate for the day. Atonement Day. The roost eoleinn twenty-fonr hours of the year commerreed for Jews throughout the world with sundown on Thursday last, continuing until sundown the neat day. This is called the Day of Atonement, and is symbol- ized by total abstinence from food or drink, as commanded by Moses, and rigidly observed to the present time. The day is the conclusion of the ten- day term of penance inaugurated by New Year's Day, when special forms of pray& are recited in synagogues and in the homes. After a Jewish boy or girl has passed his thirteenth year, he or she must observe the ,cus- tom of fasting on this day, and is ex- peeted to pass sonae time of the day in, the synagogue in prayer and medi- tation of past sins. Ettemies are sup- posed to forgive each other at this petied—in fact the devout Jew prays to start again with a clean elate. Thank•Offering Meeting. The annual thank -offering meeting of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church was held he the leeture room of the church on Oct. 12th.

Last week, four boys, big enough anti old enough to know better, were caught at their cute but dishonest trick. Constable .Allan wait- ed on them, and they acknowledged their guilt, and, paid the costs, a- mounting to over $17.00. They got off very easy this time, but ran a close call to being sent down. We shall not mention their names Ilia time, hoping that the fine may prove a. salutary lesson and that they will never again be guilty of taking tbat which does not belong to them.
