EDITORIAL NOTES
The Re.nire.v Mermry administers
this clever thrin,'.:-''And just to think
of the agony of mind of the Conservat-
ive M. P.'s when they learned that
their good Canadian money had gone to
buy an Arnercian car -an `Ohio' for Mrs,
R. L. Boren. There was to be no
truck or trade with the Yankees, you
will remember!"
The Christen Guardian commenting
on the amendments which the Whitney
Government has been making to the
Liquor license Act says: --"While the
amendments mark some little advance,
that advance is too small to arouse any
enthusiasm whatever in temperance
circles and we venture to say they will
satisfy no one except the temperance
politician, who would be satisfied with
anything i2 only his party remained in
power."
The people of Ontario don want
such a man in the Cabinet. We refuse
to believe that Sir James Whitney
wants him, but in these (lays of wire -
pulling what Sir James wants and what
Sir James has to take are two different
things. At any rate, we hope that
party exigencies are not such that Sir
James has to take G. Howard Fergu-
son as a Cabinet colleague. -Ottawa
Free Press.
The people are above the Senate,
remarks The Toronto News. It is right.
It seems to forget, however, that the
people are also above the House of
Commons. Mr Borden falsely declared
in Toronto that the Government had
received a mandate from the people for
the carrying out of his naval polka .
Mr. Borden should know that the sub-
ject was very little discussed in Ontario
at the last election. Reciprocity was
the main issue. - Stratford Beacon.
The Toronto Star protests against
the announcement that ten thousand
Union Jacks have been ordered for dis-
tribution at the great Conservative
rally in Toronto next Monday evening.
Its protest is a righteous one. The Im-
perial flag should not be degraded to
partizan uses. Rightly considerer!, this
is an insult to the flag. We prefer the
Borden naval policy, but we believe
that most Liberals revere the flag of the
empire quite as much as Conservatives
do, and have just as much right to rse
it as a party emblem -which is no right
at all.- Hamilton Herald.
Supplementary estimates for the cur-
rent fiscal year totalling $23,470,316
were tabled in the Commons last week
by Finance Minister White. It was
expected that the Government's supple-
mentary program for expenditures for
this year would be on a lavish scale.
The expectation bas been justified.
The main estimates called for a total
expenditure of $179,152,183. When the
supplementaries just brought down are
added to this amount it will be seen
that the total authorized expenditure
for the current year amounts to the
huge sum of $202,622,500. This is an
increase of over $33,000,000 as compared
with the estimates passed by Parlia-
ment lastsession.
