THE CANDID FRIEND AGAIN.
Apropos of the regiest of the Grain
Growers of the west for action by the
Canadian Manufacturers Association
in support of the movement for increas-
ing the British preference to fifty per
cent with the aim of having free trade
with Great Britain in four years, the
Ottawa Citizen, the leading Conser-
vative organ in the Capital again re-
verts to its role of candid friend to the
government. In asking the Canadian
Manufacturers and the government to
give prdctieal evidence as to the bona
fides of "the tact: about Imperial unity
and loyality to the common flag," the
Citizen says editorially:
"An Empire with tariff bartiers
erected across its own territory and
separating its own parts, is certainly
not even an approach to anything like
an ideal. The Canadian manufacturers
have a splendid chance to make a
definite pronouncement this week.
Atlantic ocean freight rates ought to be
sufficient ':protection" from British
manufacturers to Canada's "infant
industries."
MR. MONK SYNCHRONIZES
Coming events cast their shadow be-
fore them.
In his speech to the Conservative
Association at Halifax on Tuesday last,
Mr. Borden in dealing with the naval
question had not a single word to say
about "the emergency," He did say
that "the genius of our race is to pro-
ceed in such matters slowly and cautios-
ly and to depend rather upon experi-
ments and experience than upon logic."
The sentence is illuminative. Certainly
in dealing with the naval question Mr.
Borden did not proceed upon logic.
Certainly he has proceeded "slowly and
cautiously;" and if "experience" is to
be the guiding principle, then there
will be no reversion to Downing St rule
and no subversion of the principle of
responsible government
Synchronizing with Mr. Bordsn's drop-
ping of the argument as to the emer-
gency is the official announcement that
Hon, F. D. Monk is to resume his seat
in Parliament at the next session, and
a semi-official announcement• that the
government will leave the whole naval
question over till the session of 1915.
The conclusion is obvious. Mr. Borden
realizes that the emergency has been
worked to death and has been effective-
ly buried by the recent official state-
ment of the Admiralty. He realizes
that he can no longer rely on the emer-
gency as a subterfuge for not announc-
ing a permanent policy. But the an-
nouncement of a permanent policy in•
volves an appeal to the people for rati-

THE SAVING HABIT
MANY people who are earn-
ing less than you, and whose
necessary expenses exceed
yours, have been saving for
years and now have a snug
and comfortable bank ac-
counts. Systematic saving
was the foundation of many
a large fortune,
It is a habit. that is easily
acquired, yffording more
sanetaction and offering
larger rewards than any
other habit you could form.
You can open an account
in this bank with one dollar
and every six months your
savings will be credited with
the highest currentinterest.

fication. That appeal the government
will avoid as long as it in decency can.
Political waters are too cold for a
plunge next year if it can be avoided by
the men now in power. Therefore, the
whole naval question, so far as the gov-
ernment can d) it, is to be *helve(' for
a year ar so. And with the naval ques-
tion out of the way Mr, Monk can salt
ly resume his seat in Parliament.
The game is so obvious that no corn-
ment is necessary.
COST OF LIVING MOUNTS.
The cost of living still tends upward.
Statistics published by the Labour de-
partment this week shows that during
August there was another increase in
the average cost of articles of general
household consumption. The increase
as compared with August of last year
is about three per cent. Meanwhile
the high tariff friends of the govern-
ment are appealing for tariff revision
upwards, especially in regard to wool
and iron and steel commodities that
vitally effect the cost of living. Mean-
while there is no suggestion from any
government source of any decrease in
tariff taxation or of any fiscal relief to
the general consumer. Meanwhile
federal expenditures which will have to
be met for the most part out of customs
taxation, continue to mount. Mean-
while there is no sign of following the
example of the United States in regard
to reducing the duties on food stuffs.
Premier Borden seems to think that
the problem of freer trade in food pro-
ducts has been solved by the action of
the Democratic Congress in giving Can-
ada freer access to the American mar-
kets. That was only half of the prob-
lem. The Canadian consumers' half of
the problem still is to be met. The
government will not solve it by running
away from it.
HUNTING FOR SPOILS.
Mr. E. A. Lancaster, M.P. for Lin-
coln and Niagara, probably understands
that the uneasiness of the head with a
crown on it is as nothing to the malaise
of a party supporter looking for ap-
pointment. There are two vacancies
to the High Court bench of Ontario and
these are greatly coveted by Boyce of
Algoma and Lancaster of i.incoln and
Niagara. Both are sore because they
did not get the Sclicitor-Generalship
which was corralled by Hon. Arthur
Meighen, and both are inclined to be
caustic when discussing their disappoint-
ment. There is a lot of wire pulling in
the situation which has been seriously
disturbing every caucus of the Ontario
wing of the cabinet. The position is
not improved by the fact that Hon. C.
J. Doherty, the Irish Catholic Minister
of Justice, is by no means friendly to
Mr. Lancaster, who fathered the Uni-
form Marriage Bill fiasco and led the
Ontario campaign which ased the Ne
Temere Decree and the Eucharistic
Congress as its battle cry. Altogether
the position is one which would indicate
thattheTory principle of "to thevoters
belong the spoils" is being carried to
such length as not merely to degrade
the Civil Service but to even cast shad-
ows across the bench. The time is not
far distant
when
Canada will d vile fire of
this place hunting government and re-
turn to sanity and dignity under Li berg!
administration.
LABOUR'S LOVE LOSL.
The Trades and Labour Council at
Montreal would like Hon. T. W.
Crothers to resign as Minister of Labour.
Probably this wish is shared by Premier
Borden and his colleagues. Since his
appointment to the cabinet Mr. Crothers
has been a perpetual thorn in the side
of the Government. He has consist-
ently made the Labour legislation passed
by the Liberal government either a
dead letter or the means of playinginto
the hands of "the interests". Where
Sir William Muldock. Hon. Rodolphe
Lemieux and Hon. Mackenzie King
made the Labour Department a real
t force for the benefit of labour, Mr.
Crothers has made it a force for the
benefit of himself ens his wealthy
friends. It is generally suspected that
Hon. Mr. Crothers will be hoisted from
the cabinet and sent to ornament the
Ontario bench before very long—he is
returning from England where he has
avoided the coal mine strike in British
Columbia and the Trades and Labour
Congress at Montreal.
Bnt when Hon. Mr. Crothers is no
longer Minister what will Bro, Samuel
Price of St. Thomas do? Will he have
to give up his happy existence as com-
missioner extraordinary to the Dotfsinion
and go back to earring his living?
Probably that is only a mere matter of
Price.
Moving to Strathroy.
Mr. Percy Jenkins left this week for
Strathroy, where he will move his family
shortly. Mr. Jenkins will be' much
missed ia, St. Paul's Choir where he
was is valuable member.

Progress of Dairying in Canada.
Conditions affecting the marketing
end of the dairy industry in Canada
have undergone rapid changes dur-
ing recent years, In the past it has
b en the custom to estimate the growth
of the industry on the export trade.
This however has become an entirely
unreliable guide because Canada no
longer has butter to sI are but on the
other hand finds it necessary to import
from other countries. Cheese exports
too have greatly decreased. These
facts were brought to the attention of
the Select Standing Committee on Agri-
culture and Colonization during the past
session of Parliament by tier. J. A.
Ruddick, Dairy and Cold Storage Com-
missioner who showed very clearly that
the industry is not losing ground but
is making steady progress. It was
brought out that the Canadian people
are consuming relatively more milk and
milk products than heretofor and that
an increasing quantity of milk is being
manufactured into condensed milk,
casein and other products.
During the course of Mr; Ruddick's
evidence he gave out a great deal of
interesting information concerning the
tendency of the industry. This has now
been printed in a pamphlet of fourteen
pages for free distribution to all who
apply for it to the Publications Branch
of the Department of Agriculture at
Ottawa.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Following upon the issue from the
Inland Revenue Department of , the
annual report for 1912-13, purporting to
show tremendous increase under the
rule of Hon. Bruno Nantel, Minister of
Inland Revenue, in which comparison
was made with the figures for 1910-11
comes the report for August of this
year. This report indicates a dropping
off in inland revenue receipts for the
month of $83,374,34. The receipts for
August of this year are $1,817,395,76,
as compared with $1,900,769,10 for the
same month last year.
"Every nation, every people, every
race, must toddle in the beginning."
Some wise man has called our attention
to this somewhat platitudinous deliver-
ance, evidently believing that it has an
application to Canada at the present
time. But Premier Borden says Can-
ada must continue to toddle fortwenty-
five, if not fifty years, notwithstanding
the fact that our population is increasing
at the rate of half a million a year,
with every prospect that the growth of
population will gain in impetus with
every passing year. Canadians do not
mind being classified as mere toddlers,
but most of them. we think,' will re•
sent being placed in the perpetually
toddling class.—Victoria Times.
If the people of Ontario will but
wake up to what is going ;on:sin the
world and what thein ownSprovince
might do, we should speedily take the
lead, which is our due, both from our
position, history and ithe class of our
population. Mr. Rowell has been ac-
quiring knowledge that will enable him
to head this work whenever the people
shall call upon his services. The pers-
onal experience and knowledge of move-
ments the greatest in the world's his-
tory will mean much, not only for tie
province and the people who dwell
therein.—Ottawa Free Press.
The president of the Manufacturers'
Association has urged that care be
exercised in approaching the tariff
question. That was hardly necessary
with Hon. Mr. White as Minister of
Finance, Hon. G. E. Foster as Minister
of Trade and Commerce, and Hon. Dr.
Reid as Minister of Customs. The
manufacturers will find that their in-
terests are more carefully looked after
than those of any other class as long as
they continue to subscribe handsomely
to the Tory election chest for fostering
imperialism in Ontario and Nattonalist
disloyalty in Quebec. With them loy-
alty tneahs an increase in tariff. In-
crease in the British preference, as
asked for by the Grain Growers'
Association, or reciprocity with the
United States, are outbursts of rahk
disloyalty. Either one would reduce
the coat of living and tear down the
profits of the protected classes.

Despite the popularity of cotton
eponge or ratipe, linen as a fabric for
summer suits as many admirers, who
claim that it is cooler than the newer
materials. It certainly wrinkles and
creases easier than eponge, although
the ramie linen is not as great an of-
fender in this respect as the French
linen or crash.
