With so many 3•cornered contests there ie sure to be more dissatisfied parliamentary candidates than satis- fled ones, After winning the was' the govern- ment at Ottawa is certainly entitled to a rest. It's too much to expect of any bunch of men to do all the work. 38 supporters of the Meighen party in the House before its dieeoutlon have declined re -nomination, evident- ly deeming discretion the better pint of valor, and have deserted the ship, 9 of these have been given Senator- ehipe or other appointments and the others have declined to stand. We have now a net national debt of over $2,248,000,000 ; our interest bill is $140,000,000 menially, and we require over $500,000.000 every year to run Canada. From all sources including customs duties, inland revenue, post offices, income tax, etc„ we received 5350,000,000. There is a serious deficit between our receipts and estimated expenditure, of $150,000,000, Where is this money to come from ? Canada has five women candidates for Parliament, three in Ontario, and one ill Manitoba. In Toronto, Mrs. Rector Prenter has entered the lists in Toronto West, while Mre, Philip Kiely is running in East Toronto as a Liberal. In Grey county, Mies Agnea McPhail. a farm- er candidate, has set the heather afire, In Quebec the sole woman candidate, is Mrs. Rose Henderson, well known social worker, who has entered the fight in St. Antoine division (Mont- real). Mre. Henderson is running on the labour ticket, In Manitoba, Mre. John Dick has announced herself as an independent candidate in centre Winnipeg, Mrs. Kiely has since retired it ie said, Look at the list of faithful who have received some of the real tbinge. True, they were all in the last house, but they see something more perman- ent in their new poste ;— Sir George E. Foster, North Toron- toHon. , a senatorJames ship.A. Calder, a senatorship. Moose Jaw, Hon. J. D, Reid, Grenville, a sena. torship. Sir A. Edward Kemp, East Toronto, a senatorship. Hon. Thomas 31. Tweedle, Calgary, a judgeship. Hon. Herbert M. Mowat, Parkdale, a judgeship, Brig. General W. A. Grieeback, Edmonton, a senatorship. Hon. RobertF. Green. West Koot- enay, a senatorship, Not a bad list is it ? The tariff has been a contentious question in -our politico for over. 40 years ; the very word tariff means a tax, impost or exaction. The word is derived from a Cape or headland call- ed Tariffa, that juts out from the North coast of Africa. This Cape used to be inhabited by a tribe of pirates. When a vessel was seen en- tering the straits of Gibraltar the pirate galleys would intercept the ship and force them to pay a toll. This is the origin of our modern word tariff. Ae more than one half of the money received into the Dominion treasury comes from customs duties that are levied through the tariff it is easily seen how it playa a very im- portant part in our politics, Last year there was collected in duties levied on imports from outside $187,000,000 or $22 per head of our population, , Church Ohimes Next Sabbath evening a Peace ser- vice will be held in theeth ' M palet church,bearingon the Conference cranes at Washington.
