—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,

Birthday October 13th. •
Last Thursday, 13th inst., was the
birthday of two public rnen, one pro-
miuent in Dominion politics, the oth-
er in the Provincial armee. 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

Children's Day.
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

"Attending the Missionary Meet-
ings." A splendid address was given
by the president, Mrs. Perri°, bearing
on the responsibility that rests on
women towards Mission Work. The
attendance at the meeting was good,
one hundred ladies being eresent.
They were entertaiaed by the mem-
bers of the W. P. M. 8, of St. An-
drew' e Church, to a social cup of tea
and a pleasant hour was spent to-
gether. The thank -offering collection
amounted to MA, and was the best
the society has ever had. All return-

Taught A Lesson.
• Mr, L. Kennedy has been annoyed
all summer by a system of pilfering
fruit and peanuts from his restaurant
window shelf. 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. It
is easy to enter the way of the trans.
gressor, but not always :so easy to
retrace the path, Out it out boys- ; do
right, mad make men of yourselves, in
