EDITORAL NOTES
Upwards of fifty separate school
boards in as many Ontario municipali-
ties have now passed resolutions similar
to that of the Ottawa separate school
board, opposing the new bilingual reg-
ulations of the Ontario Government,
according to a statement made by Pres-
ident C.S.O. Boudreault, of the French
Candadian Educational Association of
Ontario.
That the Owen Sound by-law for the
repeal of local option, voted on last
New Year's Day and defeated by 1,393
to 1,268, was not submitted properly
and within the meaning of the net, and
that there is nothing to prevent the
Owen Sound Town Council from sub-
mitting a similar by-law on January 1
next or any time thereafter, was the
judgment of Mr. Justice Lennox. His
decision was rendered in the case of
John D. Stoddart against the Town of
Owen Sound.
That the Titanic disaster temporarily
stopped immigration to Canada is one
of the interes' ing features of an inter-
im report as to immigration to Canada
from Great Britain. The total immi-
gration from Great Britain for this fis-
cal year up to the end of August was
95,142, as compared with 91,857 for the
corresponding period last year, an in-
crease of 3,825. During May immedi-
ately following the Titanic disaster
there was a falling off of twelve per
cent. on the arrivals from Great Brit-
ain which the immigration authorities
attribute to the apprehension raised in
the minds of intending immigrants as
to the safety of the Atlantic passage.
For August, on the other hand, when
this fear had passed, immigration from
Great Britain increased thirty per cent
over August of last year.
Interested readers may wonder with
some concern what was behind the
qualified official statement published
last week on page 1607, to the effect
that it was "expected" that arrange-
ments would be made so that any On-
tario stallion owner who wished might
have his horse inspected as well as en-
rolled during the month of October.
Why the lack of postiveness? Was it
due to headquarters obstruction for
fear of political results? "The Farm-
er's Advocate" is reliably informed
that the Provincial Minister of Agricul-
ture has been trying to hold the stallion
board back, wanting them to allow the
matter to develop! As if it ever would
develop without being actively enforc-
ed! The horse industry of Ontario has
waited long for this very mild piece of
progressive legislation, and is in no
mood to brook further delay. A first-
class board has been selected. Let
them act.—Farmer's Advocate.
The Dominion's financial statement
for the past six months, made avail-
able Friday, shows a total revenue of
$81,873,65t an iccrease of $17,309,126,
as eompared with the corresponding
period of last year. The increase
averages nearly three millions per
month and is the largest on record for
any half-year in the history of the Do-
minion. The growth of imports, with
consequent increase in Customs reven-
ue, accounts for the greater part of
the total gain. For the six months
the Customs receipts totalled $56,455,-
146, a gain of $14,170,611 over last year.
Excise revenue to'alled $10,152,014, a
gam of about one and one-third mil-
lions. Postoffiee revenue increased by
$600,000. With the growing revenue
there have also been growing expendi-
tures. The expenditures of consolidat-
ed fund accounts for the six months
totalled $43,931,539, and increase of

The Kingston Standard, a good Tory
paper, puts this query up to President
Gourley of the C. 31, A.:—"The new
President of the Canadian Manufactur-
ers' Association is reported to have
made the remark: 'God forbid that
any shoddy goods should ever be made
in Canada!' By this, we suppose, he
intends us to believe that no shoddy
goods are made in Canada. We hope
that such is the case; but, if it is the
case, then where do all the tweeds
come from that lose their color in about
six months' wear? Is it because these
goods are shoddy or because it is im-
possible to dye colors that will stand
the test of our Canadian sun? We
know that Scotch or English cloths can
be worn for years without fading.
What is the matter with the manufac-
turers of Canada that they cannot suc-
ceed in making just as good cloth?
Perhaps the President of the Canadian
Manufacturers' Association will be able
to answer this question."
SIR WILFRID LAURIER'S TOUR.
(Stratford Beacon.)
An attempt is being made in the
Conservative press to minimize the
effect of the meetings addressed by Sir
Wilfrid Laurier and some of his lieu-
tenants in older Ontario the last week.
They cannot deny the fact that large
crowds have flocked to hear Sir Wilfrid
at every point he has visited, in most
cases overflow meetings being neces-
sary to accommodate the people. This,
they say, is to be accounted for by the
fact that there is no political contest
on and many Conservatives have at-
tended who would not attend in the
heat of an election campaign. This is
paying a poor compliment to the in-
telligence of these people and a high
tribute to the persuasive power of Sir
Wilfrid's oratory. If they would not
go to hear him during the heat of an
election contest it is because they are
so prejudiced that they are not open to
conviction, and afraid Sir Wilfrid
would change their views. The atten-
dance of others is put down to a desire
to hear Sir Wilfrid for the last time,
because they do not expect that he will
remain long enough in public life to
make another tour of the places re-
cently visited. Then we are told that
Sir Wilfrid has left most of the speak-
ing to his colleagues and that what he
did say was not as effective as usual.
This simply shows that Conservatives
are afraid of the effect of these meet-
ings. It is a remarkable thing and
probably without parallel in the history
of the country that the leader of a
political party so soon after his defeat
should make a tour which was more
ike what would occur on the celebra-
tion of a victory. No doubt many Con-
servatives did attend the meetings, and
all honor to them for it. It shows that
they are broad-minded enough to do
honor to a great man irrespective of
whether their views coincide ,with his
or not, but in the crowds were many
who were prompted by more than this
or a desire to hear Sir Wilfrid for the
last time. They will vote for him
when occasion comes. The spirit of
Liberalism is not dead in Ontario as
its opponents supposed, and bas been
fanned into fresh life and activity by
the speeches of Sir Wilfrid and those
who accompanied him, his speeches
having had all the vigor and eloquence
of the old time. The others were con-
vincing too, and the result of the meet-
ings has been an inspiration to the
Liberal party presaging victory when
opportunity occurs to gain it.

EXPORTS FROM UNITED STATES.
Exports from the United States to
Canada are now averaging $1,000,000 a
day. Three years ago they averaged
a half million dollars a day, and a doz-
en years ago they averaged a quarter
of a million dollars a day. The August
statement of reports, just completed
by the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce shows that the value of
merchandise exported to Canada from
the United States during the 214 days
from Jan. 1 to Aug. 31, 1912, is prac-
tically $244,000,000, or to be more ex-
act, $243,721,771. In the corresponding
eight months of 1909 the value of mer-
chandise exported to Canada was $120,-
428,582, or an average of a half -million
dollars a day, the total value of exports
to Canada having thus doubled in the
three years in question. In the corres-
ponding period of 1900 the value of our
exports to that country was $67,500,000
or an average of a little more than a
quarter of a million dollars a day.
This large growth in the exports to

WHY THEY COME TO CANADA.
[Wall Street Journal.]
With an annual revenue of $7,752,453
extorted from a scant population of
little more than a million, the State of
Washington is scarcely entitled to the
luxury of a public debt. But it is not
satisfied with expending substantially
the whole of this income (annual "cash
disbursements" $7,511,907), but has
ran into debt, and so far as the report
shows, is afraid to face the fact.
This is not all. To the State taxes
must be added the county and munici-
pal burden. Ten years ago the annual
State revenues were $2,399,982; coun-
ties $3,868,555; municipalities, etc.,
$6,620,597; total, $12,889,134. The re-
lation between state and local taxation
is such that they both rise and fall to-
gether. Applying the sante rate at
which the State revenues have increas-
ed, to the local revenues, the latter
should now be about $24,060,000. Add
this sum to the State burn and the total
becomes $31,500,000; equal to say $30
per capita, or $150 per family.
With one-third of Washington's farm
homes mortgaged for an average debt
of $2,000 000 eac h is it any wonder that
this agricultural population, except in
the more fruitful regions of Walla Wal-
la, Yakima, King and Chelan are find-
ing their way to Canada to escape the
burden. The exiles are native Ameri-
cans; and those that remain are made
up increasingly of the inferior foreign-
ers who work one-third of the 56,000
home and tenant farms of the State.

YESTERDAY'SAOSE.
Why long for skill to heal
The grief each heart must feel?
No garden can disclose
Yesterday's fair rose;
It had its time to bloom,
Gave of its heart's perfume,
And now its petals irtow
On winds where none can know.
Let's thank the gods for this:
That life is not all bliss,
That greatest joys soon end,
Loves go, friend parts from friend,
Gay dawns to gray eves run,
Burns out the brightest sun,
Some acid chills the sweet,
Each victor knows defeat,
That days can be too long,
Wears old the sweetest song,
That death for man and rose
Rounds life to perfect close.

field Republican.

How He Escaped

Piles of 14 Years' Standing
by Dr. Chase's ointment.
Mr. Chas. Beauvais,
Doctors say that about one person
In every four suffers more or less
from piles, and who can imagine a
more annoying, torturing, disagree-
able ailment?
After trying a few treatments with-
out success, and es the ailment grows
worse, the medical doctor is consulted.
An operation, he says, Is necessary.
You think of the suffering, exPCnse
and risk to life itself, and hesitate
before taking such a step.
In many thousands of such cases
Dr. Chase's Ointment has made
thorough and lasting cures. Read
this letter for the proof,
Mr. Charles Beauvais, a well-
kniown citizen of St. Jean, Que.,
writes :--"For 14 years T suffered
from chronic piles, and considered
my case very serious. I was treated
by a celebrated doctor who could not
help me and ordered a surgical opera.
tion as the only means of relief.
"'However. I deolded to try Dr.
Chaae'd Ointment, and obtained great
relief from the first box. Ily the use
of three boxes I was entirely cured.
Vila is why it gives me great pleasure
to recommend Dr. Chase's Ointment
to all who suffer from piles as a
treatment of the greatest value."

Lesson III. --Fourth Quarter, For
Oct. 20,.1912.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.'
Text of the Lesson, Mark vii, 24-30;
Matt. viii, 5-13—Memory Verses 27,
28—Golden Text, John vi, 37—Ceat-
mentary by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
The two incidents of these lessons,
though far separated as to the time of
their occurrence, are both illustrations
of great faith on the part of two people
who were not of Israel—foreshadow-
lugs, no doubt, of the time when bless-
ing shall go from Israel and her right-
eous king to all other nations, as set
forth in Ps. lxvii and many other
places in such wonderful words as
these, "God be merciful unto us and
bless us, that Thy way may be known
upon earth, Thy saving health among
all nations," and meantime contrasting
the "little faith" or "no faith" of Is-
rael with the "great faith" of those of
lesser privilege.
The story of the woman of Tyre and
Sidon follows in the regular order of
events, lvhile that of the Roman cen-
turion takes us back to a time just
after the choosing of the twelve apos-
tles. Both events are recorded by
Matthew; the centurion also in Luke
and the gentile woman in Mark in
the lesson of today. The great words
in each lesson are, to my mind, "0 wo-
man, great is thy faith, be it unto thee
even as thou wilt," and "Verily I say
unto you, I have not found so great
faith, no, not in Israel. • * • Go thy'
way, and as thou bast believed, so be
it done unto thee" (Matt. xv, 28; viii,
10-13).
Taking theme story of. the centurion
first, we note that his servant, who
was dear unto 'him, was sick unto
death, and the messengers who came
to Jesus on his behalf spoke of the
centur'ion's love for the nation and how
he had built them a synagogue; but
the centurion himself said, either per-
sonally or by his messengers, that he
was not worthy to have the Lord Je-
sus come under his roof, but that if
He would only speak the word his
servant would be healed. When the
messengers returned to the centurion's
house they found the servant whole
that had been sick-. He had been heal-
ed in the same hour that Jesus had
said, "As thou hast believed, so be it
done unto thee."
As Jesus commended the centurion's
faith He said to the people that many
would come from ail parts and share
the kingdom with Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob, while many who supposed they
were sure of it would find themselves
cast into outer darkness. How essen-
tial it is that we become in God's way
His children and know that our names
are written in heaven (Luke x, 20; Rev.
xx, 15; xxi, 8), for many who profess
to be His will have to hear Him•say,
I never knew you, depart from Me"
Matt. vii, 21-23). Mark the poverty
of spirit of the centurion, no self con-
ceit or consciousness of the importance
of his position, but evidently from his
heart, "Lord, I am not worthy." Some-
thing of the spirit of him of Luke xvili,
13, 14, who went to his house justified.
There is only one who is truly worthy,
and when we take our right place be-
fore Him He is ready to honor all the
faith we place in Him.
As to the other incident I have often
thought that Jesus went away oft there
to be refreshed by that woman's great
faith, for knowing all things He knew'
all about her and her trouble, and the
wa
she would d come to Him and cling
to Him and, take no denial. Nothing
pleases Him like faith, and without
faith it is impossible to please Him.
It is written that the centurion's serv-
ant was dear unto him, but here It is
a mother pleading for her own daugh-
ter who must have been dear to her,
and specially dear because of her af-
fliotion, for the sick one in a home gen-
erally has the sympathy of all. As we
think of those who are dear to us do
we consider the werds of our Father in
heaven concerning His only begotten
Son, "This is My beloved Son in 'whom
I am well pleased?" (John 111, 16;
Matt. 111, 17; Yvii, 5). Let us also lay
to heart that we do not honor the Fa-
ther unless we honor the Son; and that
since God spared not His own Son He
will with Him -also freely give us all
things (John v, 23; Rom. viii, 32).
Probably this distressed mother did
not know these great truths, but she
knew that she had a greatly afflicted
daughter, she had' heard of this won-
derful teacher who could heal all dis-
eases and cast out demons and had no
doubt longed to reach Him, but He was
too far awny, and so her case seemed
hopeless. But now He had come near
to her, the blessing was within her
reach, and -as soon as possible she is
at His feet beseeching Hinl for her
daughter. To get the complete recent
we must put the recounts In Matthew
end Mark side by side. To her first:
nppeal Jesus answered her not a word.
The disciples besought Him to send
her P ?1wa
then
y'. sa d
i that He was
sent only to the lost sheep of the
house of Israel. She first Cried unto
Iilln as the Son of I)nvlll, now she
says. "Lord, help tne" To this He re-
plied. "It is not meet to take the chil-
dren's bread and cast it unto the dogs."
'Hien came her conquering appeal,
"Yes, Lord, yet the dogs under the
fable eat Of the children's crumbs."
Willing to own herself a gentile flog
Wending, for' a crumb. she gets 'all she
enure for. "For this saying go thy
way; the devil 1s gone ont of thy dough-•
ter." in each of these dares note the
expltremeIcant1.eakness and lowtluesit of OM
