THE BRAKES ARE OFF.
The joy-riders of the Borden ministry
are beginning to show the tax -payers
just what can be done by a really
"liberal" Conservative government
when the trottle is thrown wide open
and the brake is discarded entirely.
The August expenditure of the
Dominion totalled $18,227,069, according
to the official figures of the Finance
Department. This represents an in-
crease of no less than $9,772,193 as
compared with August of last year.
The net public debt increased during
the month by $3,681,217, or nearly two
dollars per head for every man in the
Dominion. Last year, before the
government had struck its stride,
the net debt decreased during August
by $3,097,926. For the firstfive months
of the current fiscal year the total
expenditure has been increased by
nearly fifteen million dollars as com-
pared with the corresponding period of
last year. For the expenses of ordinary
administration the increase for the four
months has been over four million
dollars. Yet, within a week before
he was returned to power in the
elections of September, 1011, Mr.
Borden was assuring the people of
Canada that the Laurier Government
was spending at least ten millions more
per year than it should spend on the
necessary charges of administration.
If expenditures were "wasteful and
scandalous' then what must they be
now?
And it should not be forgotten that
his rapid growth of expenditure comes
at a time when the steady growth of
revenue, which obtained under the late
government, is halted. The revenue
for August was only $102,004 higher
than the revenue of the preceding
August -the smallest monthly increase
recorded in years.
Hon. W. T. White, who has to find
the funds for the joy -rides of his fellow
spenders, is now under the necessity of
raising a loan in the London money
market at a time of general financial
stringency, when interest rates are
abnormally high. The treasury despite
the record revenues from customs
taxation, has been depleted and the
minister must borrow more funds on the
Dominion's credit in order to meet the
requiremenrs of the Government's
"good roads policy." For the said
good roads -politically speaking -the
general consumer must pay sooner or
,later in the shape of increased taxation.
"A short life and a merry one" is the
cry of the Joy -Riders.
Wellington Helke, of Port Stanley
was fined $5 and costs for abusing a
horse by hitting it over the head with
a tug when he thought his life in
danger.

will live to learn that his
visions will always be
dreams unless his foresight
has shown him the need of
saving.
Saving is not a habit that
should be :tasted "some-
time," but one that requires
immediate action. As many
eiaes as you postpone open-
ing a bank account. just
that many more days will
yon be working for others,
One dollar will open a
savings account with this
bank. and the highest rate
of current interest will be

During the fiscal year of 1912
241,397 instruments were registered in
Ontario, netting to the registrars an
aggregate sum of $144,2..97.13. Evident-
ly the registry office business is pros.
perous, for these figures show a sub-
stantial increase over those of the
preceding year -205,893 instruments
recorded, $129,791.57 net revenue.
The bye -election in Macdonald, Man
has been protested since November,
1912, the Richelieu bye -election since
the same month of the same year, rind
no steps have yet been taken to facili-
tate the trial. Mr, Borden, in opposi-
tion, preached the policy of expediting
the hearing of election petitions. Was
this preaching a sham? --Kingston
Whig.
Liberalism's interest is in principles.
The chief interest of the present Con-
servative regime seems to be the in-
terest of the interests on the principal
accumulated by the late Government.
The national debt increases; the treas-
ury is depleted by lavish expenditure
and the vested interests flourish while
the cost of living to the average man
is steadily mounting.
Last year the Postmaster General
wiped the name of "Graham" off the
post -office map. The name was given
in compliment to the then Minister of
Railways to the junction point of the
National Transcontinental and the G.
T. P. branch to Fort William. Mr.
Pelletier for obvious reasons didn't like
the name and had it, changed. Once
upon a time Mr. Pelletier dismissed a
Grit postmaster who had been dead
several years.
It is semi -officially announced that
neither redisbutrition nor naval defence
will figure in the Government's pro-
gramme of legislation for the corning
session of parliament. Both questions
are to be put over until the following
session when it is hoped Providence and
the appointment of a dozen new Con-
servative Senators will have "reform-
ed" the Senate sufficiently to wipe out
the present Liberal majority and re-
place it with an obedient majority of
Conservatives ready to endorse all de-
crees of the government. Then the
way will be cleared for gerrymander and
contribution,. "A masterly inactivity"
is probably what Hon. J. D. Hazen
meant when he said at Vancouver "We
are masters of the situation," The
plan is crafty, but not quite subtle
enough to fool the people.
There is a story told of a Chicago cold
storage egg. Once upon a time a wes-
tern bachelor purchased a case of cold
storage eggs for winter consumption.
On one of the eggs he found written a
message asking the purchaser to cum-
municate with the girl who had packed
this particular egg and suggesting that
such communication might lead to mat-
rimony. The western bachelor wrote
to the address given and offered his
heart, hand and name. The reply came
back in due course "Too late, I was
married four years ago and have two
children" she wrote, Perhaps there is
an analogy to be drawn with Mr. Bor-
den's "emergency." Possibly in two
years it will still be doing duty as a
strictly -fresh, new -laid "emergency."
But the country is hardly likely to offer
its heart and hand to the packer, Mr.
Borden, then, on the strength of the
message on the label.
BIiWSSELS.
The stock of heading from the Mc-
Donald mill, Walton, has been hauled
to the Amentfactory, Brussels, where
it will be turned owing to Mr. Mc-
Donald's mill being burned some months
ago.
Doc. Moore, who has removed to
Listowel, has sold bis eligibly located
property to Dr. T. T. Mcrae, who will
overhaul the house for office purposes,
and may pull down the main house and
rebuild on more modern plan.
On Labor Day Miss Maud Querin,
only daughter of Joseph and Mrs.
Querin, of Brussels, was united in
marriage to Harry H. Kirby, of Strat-
ford, in St. James' Episcopal church,
Brantford, by Rev. D. E. Cameron, of
Burford, recently of Brussels, assisted
by Rev. Chas. Miller. The numerous
friends of the bride in and about Brus-
sels wish the happy twain many pros.
perous years.
Thos. Boukley fireman was killed and
Daniel Anderson probably fatally injured
in a terrific explosion which wrecked
the Oshawa gas plant.
A farmer suffered a fractured arm
and severe bruises in combat with two
autoists in a dark pit by a road near
Berlin, who had e4ticed a couple of
young girls to ride.
CHILDHOOD f[MENTS.
Ailments such as; constipation, colic,
colds, vomiting, eta, seize ehitdren of
all ages and the Tither should he on
her guard against!these troubles by
keeping a box of aby's Own Tablets
in the house. 1f limy of these troubles
come on suddenly the Tablets will cure
them, or if the little one is given an oc-
casional dose of the Tablets be will
escape these troubles. The Tablets are
sold by medicine dealers or by mail at
