EDITORIAL NOTES
The coming session of the Ont' rio
Legislature will compete with the ses-
sion at Ottawa in public interest. Sir
James Whitney has flouted the most
progressive elements in the Conserva-
tive party, and they are not taking his
attacks lying down. Mr. Rowell has
behind him in his forward policies a
fighting force which has found that it
has no place in the Whitney camp. He
will have the Government on the defen-
sive during the session, and there is
every sign that he will soon have it on
the run. London Advertiser.
LIBERAL LEADER'S POLICIES.
The year 1913 opens with every pro-
spect of being the most interesting time
in provincial politics for years. The
overwhelming vote in favor of tax re-
form at the Toronto municipal elections,
is the latest definite proof of what has
been apparent for a long time; that the
taxation question is one of the real issues
which will not down, Sir James Whit-
ney, in his persistent opposition is, in
the opinion of many, really sounding
the death knell of his Government, N.
W. Rowell, K. C., has been undaunted
by the Premier's tirades against the
movement, and has persisted strongly
in his advocacy of tax reform. In this
course he is supported not only by his
own followers and party, but by sever-
al Conservative newspapers, numbers
of Conservative voters, and -as is
shown by the Toronto election and by
the petitions and evidence from outside
points -by the general public.
Workmen's compensation is another
issue that will make this year signifi-
cant. It was far back in 1907 that the
Whitney Government was urged to
snake a forward step along this line.
Six years have elapsed without any
legislation, and the hardships caused in
that period have been more than are
commonly imagined. It is also rather
galling to Ontario's pride to know that
she is behind the other provinces of
Canada, the other dominions of the em-
pire, the states of the Union, and even
the most benighted and backward of
the countries in Europe. This year,
however, definite action will be taken.
Either the Government, following the
expected final report of Sir William
Meredith, will introduce legislation, or
if they should continue in their tardi-
ness Mr. Rowell has definitely pledged
himself to bring in an adequate meas-
ure independently. The Opposition lead-
er has recently made a series of speech-
es on this subject among the working-
men, besides issuing a pamphlet, and
there is every evidence to show that he
has the matter deep at heart.
VICTORY FOR TAX REFORM
The Toronto Globe of January 2nd
says: -Tax reform scored a splendid vic-
tory in Toronto yesterday. Not only
did the taxpayers vote four to one in
favor of applying for legislation to ass-
ess buildings, business and income on
a lower basis than land, but they gave
it a heavier vote and larger majority
than any of the by-laws.
It was a victory of the masses follow-
ing a vigorous and educative campaign,
waged by the Tax Reform League of
Eastern Canada, the Toronto Branch of
the Canadian Manufacturers' Associa-
tion, the Toronto Board of Trade, the
Toronto District Trades and Labour
Council, the Dominion Grange of Canada
the city of Toronto, the city of Ottawa
and other municipalities in Ontario.
On Dee. 19 there was almost a straight
party division in the eommittee of the
Legislature against tax reform, but

ANE OCCASIONED BY

No one can expect to be free from moms

Co,. Lil;,lited, Toronto, Ont.
since then the issue has been shorn of
its political garments, largely because
of the stand taken by Mr. W. W. South-
am. of the Ottawa Citizen, and other
prominent Conservatives throughout the
Province in favour of a changed order
of things.
So overwhelming was the majority in
favor of a radical change in the method
of taxation that it is now almost assur-
ed that when application is made to the
Legislature for power to change Toron-
to's tax system there will ba no oppos-
ition. With eight men holding seats in
the Ontario Legislature for Toronto,
favorable action on the part of the Leg-
islature will be almost imperative.
A Blustering Big Boss.
(Leading editorial from the Toronto
Saturday Night of Jan. 4th, 1912.)
In his attitude on the question of tax
reform. Sir James Whitney is proving
himself a reactionary. Ontario's Prem-
ier has his head in the sand, his coat
tails in the air and refuses to budge.
The members of his Cabinet, or at least
some of them, have at different times
received a glimmer of light; but being
mere puppets - office boys -in piece of
real ministers, they have been com-
manded to keep their tongues between
their teeth, strictly in accord with the
Whitneyesque attitude of bossing the
job. Tax reform is not a party issue
any more than was the Hydro -Elec-
tric question; and to those who are
in the "know" it will be remembered
that Sir James' early attitude towards
the Hydro project was anything but
whole -hearted. That he afterwards
turned right about under the pressure
of popular demand and gave the Zion.
Adam Beck aid when he had hereto-
fore been only an obstructionist, is
possibly to his credit; but at the same
time it would be well to remember
these things in connection with the
question of tax reform.
This blustering Big Boss may ima-
gine for the movement that he can by
some magic process, set his face against
fundamental reforms and against the
will of the people and still prosper as
the Big Chief. But parties are bigger
than men, and principles are bigger
than parties. The people of Ontario
will not longer tolerate an obstinate
obstructionist, and the sooner our
doughty Premier finds this out the bet-
ter he will rest o'nights.
TOBACCO GROWING EXPERIMENTS
IN QUEBEC.
The Quebec tobacco growers often
experience difficulty in the spring in
rearing good healthy tobacco seedlings,
In bulletin No. A -I3 of the Tobacco
Division, entitled: "Quebec Tobacco Ex-
perimentaI Stations -Season 1911", Mr.
Chevalier sets forth the advantages of
of the "warm bed" he has been using
for the last three years at the St Jacques
1'Achigan station. This bed is more
economical than the "hotbed" as it does
not require manure. It is not so damp
and enables the young plants to be kept
in a much healthier atmosphere that is
more favourable to their normal devel-
opement.
This bulletin also contains an account
of the work carried on at the St. Jacques
1'Achigan and St. Cesaire stations. The
results obtained at these stations show
the importance of a rotation of crops
and the advantages of the use of chemi-
cal fertilizers to supplement the inade-
quate applications of manure generally
made in the province of Quebec. Parti-
cular attention has been given to the
growing of seed plants.
A copy of this publication will be sup-
plied free to any one who applies for it
to the publications Branch, Department
of Agriculture, Ottawa.

COOKING NOTES.
Extra deep pudding pans, pie plates
and the like are prefered to shallow.
Loaf pans for bread should be narrow
to insure thorough baking of the bread.
Raisins and figs should be plumped by
dipping for an instant in boiling water
before serving.
To boil finnan haddie soak it for a
little while before putting it over the
coals, and put plenty of butter on it
i afterwards.
Apples baked with very different sea-
t sonings - cinnamom,cloves,mapie sugar,
lemon or orange, make a delicious
change.
When making pastry that is to be
Served cold, milk should be used for
mixing as the the pastry will keep crisp
longer than if mixed with
water.

LUCK.
Brother, cease your bitter wailing,
Let your sickly frown depart;
Possibly your liver's ailing -
Don't let that affect your heart.
Luck, you say, has blessed another
Who has oft been blessed befere-
But there's luck remaining, brother,
There is always plenty more.
Ever since the first man muttered,
Calling luck a stubborn jade;
Ever since the first swain stuttered
Love to an unwilling maid;
Ever since the sky first blended
With the treetops on a hill,
Men have thought good luck was ended,
But there's plenty of it still.
Luck is like the love a mother
Lavishes upon her son;
From a store that endless, brother,
Through the ages it has won;
Ever since man first abused it
Luck has been in ample store,
And no matter who has used it
There will still be plenty more.
The Old Time Piece Work Quilt.
You need only attempt the building of
a piece of work quilt to appreciate the
charm that lies in this kind of old-time
hand -work. Its possibilities are as many
and varied as the number and variety
of pieces to be found in the family piece
bag. Needlework at once so pleasant
and practical could not remain long in
the background. What more pleasant
than putting into practical shape the
many familiar odds and ends of ma-
terials with all their associations and
memories of people, times and events?
What more practical than making use
of these materials always at hand? A
trunk is opened, and with its age Iaden
scents fall out the treasured heirlooms
- quilts, quaint and picturesque, soft
and yellow by time -monuments of art
and genius. And into our minds rush
all the memories of those "Merrie
Olde Days" of the quilt making, The
quilting has been supplanted by the
porch party; but,says Pictorial Review,
the charm of the work remains, and
many merry circles of girls will sew to-
gether, perhaps on their own quilts, per-
haps with combined efforts on a mem-
ory quilt for some member who is leav-
ing them.
When starting to make a quilt, cut a
number of pieces and put them in a
box for safe keeping. :?se pieces of the
same general weight, like chambray and
percale, Much ingenuity may be shown
in your arrangement of colors.

38 Tons of Paper,
This enormous quantity of paper was
used in printing the 1913 Edition of the
Na-Dru-Co Almanac, just of the press.
As each Almanac weighs a little less
than two ounces, this means that 7CO3-
000 copies were printed one copy for
every 11 individuals, or for every two
families, in Canada.
Stronger evidence could scarcely be
given of the wonderful popularity which
has already been won by theNa-Dru-Co
Almanac now only in its fourth Edition.
This is due to the rich fund of useful
information which it contains, and to its
valuable hints on health and physical
comfort.

What a horrible condition the di-

liver becomes sluggish and the
bowels constipated. The poisonous
waste matter is thrown back into the
blood stream and finds Its way into
all parts of the body, causing pains
and aches and feelings of fatigue and

In 1850 the average farm in the Unit-

1910 the average farm numbered only
138.1 acres. This would seem, says the
New York Outlook, to show that "bon-
anza farms," vast cattle ranches, etc.,
are succumbing to the tendency toward
intensive cultivation on a smaller scale,
and that the movement toward consoli-
dation, so marked in business, has been
reversed as for as agriculture is con-
cerned.

BANK OF ENGLAND
Tragic and Romantic Episodes In
its Historic Career.
DEADLY BATTLE WITH A MOL
The Bloody Climax to the Attempted
Raid by the Lord Gordon Rioters, --A
Financial Coup That Was Spoiled by
the Duchess of Marlborough.
No other banking institution has so
romantic a history as that pertaining
to the Bank of England, the "Old Lady.
of Threadneedle Street."
One of the bloody episodes in the his-
tory of the bank is that embraced in
the story or Charles Walter Godfrey,
one of Its early partners In the bank,
It appears that Godfrey while crossing
the channel in the tuid:# of a terrific
storm and laden with £00,000 in drafts
fur the ate of King William, who was
just then besieging NAmur' against the
forces of Louis XIV.. insisted upon his
riffet to deliver the warrant for the
money into the hinds of the king, then
in the trenches under hot Ore. As he
handed die document to the king, say-
ing, in response to William's growl of
remonstrance. "Am 1. then, more eX-
posed to danger than your majesty?"
a cannon ball swept away his bead.
Not so very many years ago there
stood over the massive tireplace in the
directors' room of the bank three rusty
specimens of the old "Brown Bess," to-
gether with a number of roughly
shaped bullets. to these relies was em-
bodied a picture of the November night
in 1780 when the mob of Gordon riot-
ers marched down from Newgate, set-
ting Ore to every Catholic ebapel on
the way and advancing with n force of
5,000 upon the bank itself.
The clerks, armed with muskets,
were unprovided with shot. Before
them lay rows of leaden inkstands,
suggesting the possibilities of a new
use. In less than half an hour the ink-
stands had been melted and turned
into bullets. The muskets were load-
ed. At every window of the bank
stood two marksmen, their guns train-
ed on the mob below. Yet the rioters
came on until they were within ten
yards of the bank gates. Then sharp
and clear above the frightful din rose
the order to fire, and from the win-
dows poured a deadly volley. When
the smoke finally cleared away 250
lay dead or dying in the open space
now covered by the esplanade of the
Royal Exchange. The attacking army
wavered. stopped. broke line and fled,
and the Gordon riots were at an end.
During the first part of the reign of
George 11. it was the practice of all
banks to give a receipt in payment of
a deposit. the receipts being passed
from hand to hand and serving the
same purpose as the check of today.
At that time Childs' bank, a private
concern, which had the backing of a
great part of the English nobility, ex-
hibited such signs of future greatness
that the bank of teagland became
greatly alarmed, especially in view of
the fact that the "Old Lady's" notes
were at a discount of 10 per cent. So
little by little, through their agents;
the managers of the Bank of England
bought up every receipt bearing the
Childs signature, allowing the collec-
tions to accumulate each year until the
time should he ripe, during a shortage
of gold, to present the receipts in one
great mass for payment. It was deem-
ed a certainty that Childs' would not
be able to meet the demand and would
thus be ruined.
The principal figure in the drama
that ensued was no other than the fa-
mous Sarah Jennings. in whom Childs'
bank found its stanchest supporter.
One night there came a wild clanging
at the bell of the great gate of the
town of Blenheim -a clanging that soon
awakened every one in the town. A
white faced, travel stained man stag-
gered Into the ducal hall, begging an
audience with her grace. When the
duchess, in her dressing gown, appear-
ed, demanding to know the reason for
this unseemly visitation, the man ex-
plained that the Bank of England held
the Childs' receipts in the amount of
£620,000, that those receipts 'would be
presented for payment at noon follow-
ing, that there was not at Childs'
enough geld to meet them, that un-
less the demand could be satisfied with-
in eight hours Childs' was ruined and
that there was but one person In the
world -her grace -to whom they 'might
turn, ,,.
Whereupon the redoubtable duchess
sat down and wrote out a check, which
she handed to the agent. It was an
order on the Bank of England for the
payment of a700,000. He was instruct-
ed to take tills check to the think Of
England and to say that if it hesitated
for a single instant In paying it the
3nchess would proclaim it as a de
!niter.
