EDITORAL NOTES.
Hon. Wm. Miller, P.C., K.C., the
last of the Senators appointed by Royal
proclamation in 1867, died at Ottawa on
Friday. He was a Conservative.
Again the axe has fallen, and this
time it is Postmaster Jacob Kellerman,
of Dashwood, who is affected. He is
to be succeeded by Mr. Henry Willert.
The move is admitted on all sides to be
a straight political one. Mr. Keller-
man has held office for ten years and
has always given splendid satisfaction.
Speaking at Arnprior, previous to the
election in South Renfrew, Hon. Geo. E.
Foster said: —"If you elect G. P. Graham
it will be considered everywhere as a
blow to the new Government. Let the
new Government show what it can do
before you strike it such a blow." The
electors of South Renfrew, struck the
blow, and Hon. Geo. P. Graham is the
member by amajority of nearly 300.
In the annual report of the Temis-
kaming and Northern Ontario Railway,
presented to the Legislature on Friday,
there is an increase in operating ex-
penses over 1910 of $16,637.27, although
there has been a dercease in the per-
centage from 73.2 to 66.4, while the
total net earnings for the year are
$593,152.69, compared with $436,130.31
for 1910, which represent 33.6 per cent
of the gross earnings. for 1911, as
against 26.8 per cent. for 1910.
The stories printed in the Conserva-
tive press to the effect that Sir Wilfrid
Laurier would now retire from the
leadership in favor of Mr. Graham are,
of course, utterly without foundation.
The "Old Chief" was never in better
fighting form, and with Mr. Graham as
his first lieutenant will contiue in the
leadership. Active organization work
in every Province is under way, and
when the next election comes, prob-
ably within the next two years, Liber-
alism, under its present leader, will go
into the contest with a far better or-
ganization than was the case last Sep-
tember.
Young and old have

The Borden Administration have
made their first appeal to the people in
a single constituency and have bean
beaten. We regret that they were not
able to present an issue of supreme
moment with a, clear-cut stand thereon.
Reciprocity can never be conjured with
again. It was forever settled last Sep-
tember. But there are great national
issues on which the people of Ontario
feel deeply and in regard to which On-
tario lacks Cabinet leadership and Cab-
inet outspokenness,—Leading editorial
in The Toronto World of Friday.
The Statute Revision Commission
has cost the Province to date $148,-
084.15. This information was given
to Mr. Proudfoot Friday afternoon by
the Attorney -General in answer to sev-
eral questions put on the order paper
by the member for Centre Huron. The
Revision Commission of 1887 was ap-
pbinted on December 11, 1885, and
completed its work December 20, 1887;
the commision of 1897 was appointed
April 21, 1895, and finished its work on
December 20, 1897. The cost respec-
tively in these cases was $79,942 and
$76,936. The answer stated that the
commission would probably reach an
end of its labors this year.
Railways are looking for fifty thous-
and men to carry out the construction
programme in the West this summer.
A Jew was recently elected to the City
Council of Montreal, and now it is rep-
orted that a Jewish synagogue is to be
erected in the city of Guelph.
The trial in Italy of the group of
Cammorrists charged with the murder
of Gennaro Cuocolo and wife, is nearing
an end. Proceedings started eleven
months ago and summing up has now
begun.
Harry Freeman and Wm. Anderson,
both of Windsor, were arrested in
Monroe, Mich., together with six
Chinamen whom they are charged with
having smuggled across the Detroit
River.
Robt. Thompson says he is delighted
with the condition of fruit trees in the
Niagara district. The lowest tempera-
ture in the central district was ten
below zero, and trees a year ago with
the temperature as low as twelve be-
low survived.
As an illustration of great devotion
to truth, would-be M. P. told his audi-
tors that he "underwent a severe
thrashing when "a boy for telling the
truth." Imagine the sickly feeling
which came over him when a gruff
voice called out from the centre of the
audience: "I guess it's cured yer,
guv'nor!"
At the present session of the British
Parliament a bill will be introduced auth-
orizing the construction of a railway
and harbor at Galway Ireland. The in-
tention is to. establish a route from Gal-
way to Halifax under which the Atlant-
ic passage will be reduced to anywhere
from two and three-quarters to three
and one-half days.
Since 1870 the population of France
has increased from a little over 36,-
000,000 to thirty-nine and one-half
million. In the same time the popu-
lation of Great Britain has increased
from less than 32,000,000 to forty-five.
and one-half million, that of Germany
from 41,000,000 to 65,000,0)0, and that
of Russia from seventy-three and one-
half million to 135,000,000.
A novelty in railway comfort that
has not been introduced even on our
most luxurious "limited" is to be used
on a railway connecting Chile with
Bolivia. This railway rises to a height
of 14,105 feet above sea level, and at
this altitude many persons become sub-
ject to mountain sickness. An "oxygen
compartment" is to be provided for
such persons, in which they may find
relief by breathing air that has the
same percentage of oxygen as at sea
level.
A "Farmer Party" was recently
held in Chicago, the invitations reading:
"Please come like farmers and wear
farmers' clothes." 'lhe hostess, who
had't been near a farm for twenty
years, thought the guests would ride
to the party in ox carts and wear over-
alls or other working clothes. To her
great surprise, they came in automo-
biles and wore the regulation full dress
clothes all of which goes to show that
it is a great compliment now -a -days to
be called a "farmer."
Hon. Mr. Monk gave a dinner in the
Parliamentary restaurant Sunday night.
Among the guests were nine of the
more prominent Roman Catholic clergy
and Armand Lavergne, a leading Na-
tionalist. In fact the guest list was
confined to Nationalists and the Catho-
lic clergy. This is the first time a
Sunday dinner has been given in the
Parlian'ientary restaurant. It is believ-
ed the dinner was directly connected
with the Borden Government's position
on the navy question and on the ques-
tion of compelling Manitoba to allow
separate schools to exist in the addi-
itional territory to be:conceded to her
under the boundary settlement.

THE WEARY SMILE
THAT COVERS PAIN
Women are themselves to Blame
for Much of There Suffering
Women are weak, yet under a smile
they will try to hide pain and suffering
that any man could not bear patiently.
If women would only remember that
their frequent failures of health arise
from feeble or impure blood their lives
would be smoother and they would
longer retain the natural charms.
When the blood fails then begin those
dragging backaches and headaches;
unrefreshing sleep that causes dark
lines under the eyes; dizziness; fits of
depression; palpitation or rapid flutter-
ing of the heart; hot flashes and indi-
gestion. Then the cheeks grow pale,
the eyes dull and the complexion blem-
ished.
Women should know that much of
this suffering is needless and can be
promptly remedied. Purify and enrich
the blood through the use of Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills and your suffering
will vanish. Thousands of women know
that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have
brightened their lives by making the
new, good blood of hea th, and so ton-
ing up all the vital or ans into healthy,
vigorous action. H re is an instance
from among many. Miss Cora A. Cor-
nell, St. Catharin s, Ont., says: "Ever
since the ag of ourteen I have suffer-
ed terribly N I pains in my back, and
severe hea ches. I was also much
troubled with indigestion and had to be
extremely careful as to my diet, and
sometimes did not feel like eating at
all. Some two years ago the headaches
became so bad that I had to give up
my position, which was clerking in a
store, where, of course, I was con-
stantly on my feet. I took a position
in an office, where I could be seated
moat of the time, but even then I :suf
fered terribly most of the time. As
the medicine I had been taking did not
help me I finally decided to try Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills. I got a supply,
and soon felt they were helping me
and I continued taking the pills for
several months until I felt perfectly
well. Although my doctor advised me
not to go back to my old position, I
decided to do so, and have not felt any
01 effect. I never have backache now,
seldom a' headache, and all traces of
the indigestion have disappeared. I
Cannot speak to highly of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills and I hope this letter will
help someone who suffers as I used to."

Prolonging Life.
For 350 years past, says Dr. Irving
Wilson Voorhees, in the New York In-
dependent, the duration of human life
has been slowly on the increase. In
the seventeenth and eighteenth centur-
ies this increase was about four years
per century. During 'the first three-
quarters of the nineteenth century the
rate increased to about nine years per
century. In Massachusetts lengthen-
ing is said to be going now on at the
rate of fourteen years per century, and
in Prussia to about twenty-seven years.
This increase in the span of life is not
by any means all due to the longer eras
of peace which have existed during the
last 100 years than in the previous cen-
tury. It is mainly the result of pro-
gress in sanitation and medical know-
ledge. In India, which has b en as
peaceful as any other part of the world
in the last 100 ears, the average span
of life is only 25 years and remains
about stationary.
Daniel Reynolds was sentenced to the
penitentiary for life at London, Ont.,
for killing Fred Culver with an axe,
and Patrick O'Brien, for highway rob-
bery and attempted murder, got twen-
ty years.
