FARCICAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.
Does the Whitney Government en-
force the license laws? They say they
do and always take great credit to
themselves for this enforce.nent. Let
us examine in answer to the question
one set of facts.
In Torontc recently the wine clerks
of seven R. & 0, boats were fined
$200.00 apiece for selling liquor without
a license. If this had been the first of-
fence there would not be so much ground
for criticism, but the truth is that
steamers running out of Toronto have
been fined regularly for the same of-
fence sine- 1907. This point was brought
up in the House by Mr. N. W. Rowell
and the Opposition last Session. They
asked for an official return showing the
fines levied and this report revealed the
fact that a long list of steamers had
been selling liquor without a license for
years. Each season the wine clerks are
fined and the practiee goes on. It is
interesting to note that the fines have
almost q•iadrupled in amount. In 1907
they averaged about 865. They are
now a..sessed at a fiat rate of $200,00.
Such a method of .sealing with an
illegal sale of liquor is farcical un the
face of it. It is a glaring case of non-
enforcement of the license laws. These
boats, to all intents and purposes, are
licensed and that, too, illegally, but it
is done by the ut.d_rhand method of
yearly fines.
WHERE THE MONEY GOES.
With huge expenditures of this kind
for such small places -and these are
merely typical of similar works expen-
dituree of the present year -it is small
, wonder that Canada has the highest
' tax rate of any country in the world,
'without spending the vast sums on de -
'fence and offence that the old countries
of Europe have to provide for,
A few days ago a brief paragraph ap-
peared in a number of Tory papers, an-
nouncing that the government had let
several contracts. Naturally the ma-
jority of these were for Drill Hall, to
be added to the collection of over 50
that Col. the Hon. Sam Hughes had
already got through. The order in
which tnese contracts went, with the
populations of the places which got the
works, make interesting reading as an
exemplification of the manner in which
Mr. Borden is not carrying out his pro-
mises of economy. These are the
places favored with the last bunch of
Public works.
Beauport, Que.. contract let for a
$30,111)e Drill Hall. According to the
census of 1911, Beauport's population
leas 6.$00.
Red Deer, Alta., contract let for
Drill Hall t) cost $36,010. The census
of 19t1 gave Red Deer 2,118.
Kemptville, Ont., contract let for
Drill Hall to cost $11,800. According
to the census of 1911, Kemptville had a
population of 1,192 as. against 1,523 in
1901.
Greenwood, B.C., contract let for
public building to cost e4I.000. Green -
wood's population, according to the
census of 1911 was 778. as against 1,259
in 1991.

THE RETAILER'S MESSAGE.
Every retailer in the community
wants the good -will and patronage of
the people of this community. The
retailer wants the public to understand
that his store is bright and attractive,
that his merchandise is of excellent
quality; and that his prices are reason-
able, and that his salespeople wait up-
on customers with courtesy and care.
Every honest retailer who tries to
bring his establishment up to this ideal
state of perfection deserves the con-
fidence and patronage of the public.
This newspaper, and others that
have the good of their readers at
heart, encourage retailers to advertise
in a way that is absolutely fair and
trustworthy. We recommend, with
utmost confidence, our advertising
columns to our readers. Every message
is of interest. Everyone should culti-
vate the habit of reading them.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
It is persistently rumored that Alex.
McCowan. M.P.P., for East York is to
be appointed Sheriff sof York County.
In this case there will be a bye -election
in the Constituency. It is believed
that the writs will be issued without de -
'ay and that the election will be held at
an early date.
Preparations are under way, and
dates are expected to be fixed shortly
for the federal by-elections in Chateau -
gay, South Lanark, South Bruce and
East Middlesex. The Liberal majority
last election in Chateaugay was fifty and
conservative lead in South Bruce under
one hundred, so that hot contests art
expected in those ridings. The other
two are Conservative by heavy major-
ities.
There is evidence in the financial
statement of the Dominion for the first
four months of the current fiscal year
that the spendthrift ht`.bits of the pres-
ent Administration will soon compel
Canada to be again a borrower among
the nations. During the month of July
the public debt increased by $6,529,104,
and for the first time in years the
month's Customs revenue, as entered
on the books of the Finance Depart-
ment up to July 31, shows a decrease.
Coupled with this the total expenditure
for the four months shows an increase
of over nine millions, as compared with
the corresponding period of 191.2.
Two years of Borden's rule has
brought about an extraordinary situation
in the western portion of Canada. Not
only is there a financial stringency,
but in some of the cities the situation
is mtich worse than that. The
Fredericton Gleaner, in its Thursday's
issue, although it is a Conservative
newspaper, yet publishes a brief inter-
view, in which it describes the situation
in these words: -"Thousands idle, soup
kitchens open in western cities." The
preceding words are placed in glaring
headlines and associated with another
headline which says, "Financial tension
is severely felt." The article under
these headlines states that 10,000 men
are idle in British Columbia, and that
soup kitchens have been opened in some
of the cities in order to prevent riot.
-Moncton Transcript.
The Brussels Post of last week says:
"George Spotton, the Hibernian em-
bodiment of adipose tissue, who edits
the Wingham Advance, should be very
careful with his editorial pent during
the heated spell of August. He has
been running a sort of "Wild West"
column for several weeks that gives
evidence of a desire on his part to ex-
terminate and entirely obliberate Sir
Wilfrid Laurier and his followers. It
is not much wonder Sir Wilfrid has
been feeling poorly. ?f he has read some
of George's "hot stuff." We hope
when Bro. Spotton feels these bad
spells coming on he will apply ice to his
head, drink cold tea and have toma-
hawks, scalping knives, daggers, etc.,
locked up in the safe and the key given
to Town Clerk Groves."

Women Need
A Safe Tonic
•
AND THERE IS NOTHING BETTER
THAN DR. WILLIAMS' PINK
PILLS FOR TONING UP
THE BLOOD.
It is said that woman's work ii never
done, and it is a fact that whether in
society or in the home her life a filled
with more cares and more wo9fies than
falls to the lot of man. For is reason
women are compelled- re retfully to
watch the gtowingpal lorof their cheeks,
the coming of wrinkles *fid the thinness
that becomes more distressing every
day. Every w maty knows that ill -
health and vvor A a fatal enemy to
beauty, and th ill-
i
health gives the
plainestface an enduring attractiveness,
What women fail to realize is the
fact that if the blood supply is kept
rich and pure, the day of the coming of
wrinkles, and pallor, dull eyes and sharp
headaches is immeasurably postponed.
Dr. William's Pink Pills are literally
worth their weight in gold to growing
girls and women of mature years. They
till the veins with the rich, red blood
that brings brightness to the eye, the
glow of health to sallow cheeks, and
charms away the headaches and back-
aches that render the lives of so many
women constantly miserable.
Mrs. William Jones, Crow Lake, Ont.,
says: "I ;eel that Dr William's Pink
Pills saved my life. I was so badly
run down that I could hardly drag my-
self around. I was so bloodless that
I was as pale as a sheet, and you could
almost see through my hands. In fact
the doctor told me my blood had all
turned to water. I was taking medicine
constantly, but without benefit. My
mother had so much faith in Dr. Wil-
liam's Pink Pills, that she botight me
two boxes and urged me to take them.
How thankful 1 am that 1 followed her
advice. Before these were gone I
beg In to feel better, and I continued
using the Pills until I had taken five
more boxes when I was again enjoying
the blessing of perfect heath, with a
good color in my face, a good appetite,
and I feel sure a new lease of life. I
'will always, you may be sure, be a warm
