Mr. Pyne, 'Minister of Education. The bringing down of the bill means that the deter- mined fight against the measure by a section of the teaching profession has failed and that the Government while ' o kin it has not the unanimous backing the o teachers has taken the stand that the Legislation is in the interest of educa- tion in Ontario. Bill Has Not Been Changed. The bill as introduced is practically the draft drawn up months ago and sub- mited to the teachers of the province for an expression of opinion. Its con- tents are therefore already widely known. 'rhe bill differs in several par- ticulars from the original draft intro- duced in the House a session or two ago It provides for contributions to the fund by the teachers and Government only both contributing 245 per cent. of salaries, an extra half per cent. having been assessed against teachers and the treasury, to )Hake up the one per cent., school boards objecting to paying as first proposed. Good at End of 15 years. The bill permits superannuation at the - end of t 5 ,years and thirty years upon 'an actuarial basis. ,This was in- serted to meet the objections of these who objected to working forty years in order to earn a pension, In addition, the bill provides that teachers who retire after six years ser- vice may get back the money paid in, but the privilege is conditional upon the actuarial position of the fund being satisfactory. Hon. Dr. Pyne stated tinct the minimum pension would be $3 65 a year, and the maximum $1,000.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CA rTORIA MUNICIPAL COAL YARDS (Brantford Expositor) The Conservation Conmissiotl 11. sues a timely warning to householders to purchase their'coal during the sum- mer months. 11 points out that in the future there will be more coal famines than in the past and that they will occur at shorter intervals, and the way to obviate the dire results of the shortage is to get the coal bins filled early. It is a reasonable suggestion. Order- ing in the winter ton by ton as most householders do is expensive for one thing, and it is a serious strain upon transportation and delivery facilities at the very worst time of the year. Heavy winter weather often is the cause of freight congestion and to buy in sum- mer would obviate this so far as coal is concerned. There have been two coal famines during recent years. One was in 1901- 2, the year of the coal miners' strike, and the second this year, when tine sev- erity of the weather and the extraordin- ary prosperity in the United States caused an unprecedented congestion in freight. These lessons should be learn- ed by our people. Of course there are many people who cannot afford to lay in their winter's supply of coal all at once—it is hard enough for them to finance the purch- ase of coal in small quantities as they need. For such, the establishment of municipal coal yards—authorized in legislation now before the Ontario House—will be a great boon. And, by the sane token, municipal coal yards ought to 116 restricted to the sale of fuel in small quantities. WHY HURRY? Nothing is ever gained by what we commonly all hurrying, You may be smart and quick with- out burying over atlything. If you want to do anything as it should be done, you must go about it coolly, moderately; faithfully, heartily, but not hurriedly. •Hurrying, .fretting, what we cal "fueling," will not do any good—not in the least, you ever see any great works of great men done in a marry? On the contrary, they are the pro- duce of time and. patience, and the re- sult of slow, solid developinen't. Nothing ought to be done in a hurry, a it is contrary to Nature, reason, and 'common-sense. Circumstances may cause any of us to hasten our movements oceas- ionally; but this casual and temporary acceleration of our acting is not the flurrying we are thinking of. People who are habitually in a hurry over dressing, over meals, over walking and talking, have no sort of character at all, They are always in Confusion loose at every point, blowing and shouting at everything, while most of their ap- parently great efforts have very small restilts, They are wisest : 11 . p1„ 1511.

HOUSE EXPENDITURES Fourteen Telephones, Four Thousand For Refrigerating Fleet, Fifteen Thousand For Electricity C, M: I3owmant, Chief liberal Wlhip, and Hartley Dewart have joined the throng of members delving, this sea.. Ston, into expenditures of Government House, At a meeting o1 the Public Accounts Committee they slleit0(1 the following „iurot'tnatton:— A private telephone exchange with tpurteon telephones has been metalled in Government House at a cost to the province of $1,839.33, The sum of $4,250 has been upended on a re. frigerating plant to nscep the building cool, whereas 700 tons of coal have been bought within the last year to keep the palace warm. 'The cost of the electrical fixtures, wiring and in- stallation has been over $15,000 and tine mere cost of building a combiner stable, garage and coach house is over $14,000 without a copper for furnishings or equipment, which are extra. These hems' give some iudl- eatioes of why the total capital ex- penditure on Government House is Over a million dollars instead of the $400,000 originally estimated and why the maintenance during the past fiscal year cost the province about $57,000. Messrs. Bowman and Dewart to- gether with Messrs. Carter, Davidson, McDonald, Proudloot, lllliott and many others all give indications that they are going to keep on investigat- ing these Government House accounts. CARTE RGRAMS BECOME A FEATURE OF HOUSE Samuel Carter's Speech Stirs Things Up—l-le Makes Excitement Wherever He Goes Saul Carter, M.P.P. for South Wel- lingtol, always Ono of the most dra- matic figures in the House, and.wliose words are becoming known as "Car- tergrama," has been creating more ex- citement by a rcinarkuble speech, It Was in connection with Mr. Rowell's bill to giro women the right to sit in the Legislature which the Govern- ment rejected although Mr. Rowell showed that Woman Suffrage in Aus- tralia and in all the Western pro- vinces of Canada had brought with it the right of woolen to a seat in the Legislatures, 11 they so desired and 1f the electors would put theta in those positions. Mr. Carter said he suspected insincerity on tate part of the Government in regard to Woman Suffrage and then he launched into a very vigorous speech. Among the "Cartergrams," on this occasion, referring to the Government, were:— "I dont mind your sudden conver- sions on Woman Suffrage and prohi- bition, but I hate your conceit about 1- After what you had done to block these reforms, why didn't yon have the decency to be humble about it? Instead of that, you go about blowing and bragging!" "It was great to see you running or cover when the Committee of One Hundred got its club out!" And in Woman Suffrage, too, when you saw the stick coming, down you 'ducked again!" "I don't like people who sit on the fence. 1 like men of courage!" "Why shouldn't you let the women Auto the Legislature it they world like o come? It's only women who really understand problems affecting women 'and children. Women are going to be voters the same as the omen. Why iwon't you give these voters the rights that belong to them?" DEPUTATION THANKS HEARST AND ROWELL A deputation from the Dominion Rance Prohibition Convention waft- s upon both Premier Hearst and Mr. ewton Rowell to thank theta for their services in enacting prohibition. It is jest five years ago to the very month that another deputation waited ;on the Prime Minister, who then was Sir James Whitney, and upon Mr. Rowell, asking them for advanced temperance legislation. Thou the Prime Minister dtd not grant their request, but Mr. Rowell did, and the !Abolish the Bar policy was presented to the House shortly after. General satisfaction was expressed en this occasion that to -day Lice Prime inister and the Leader of the Oppo- sition have united to put through the great reform of prohibition. NOTES FROM THE HOUSE I. A deputation of 1,500 teachers from .*11 parts of the province waited upon ,the Government in regard to the Su- pyeranuatlon Bill which provides for a ;fund into which the teachers are to pay 24 per cent. of their salaries and at the end of 40 years they can retire :with a pensions. Sir Adam Beck intro- !duoed the deputation. Another deputation representing (hospitals throughout the provigoe tasked the Government to increase its 'arrant is cage of indigent patients and oto oblige municipalities to contribute' ,ptore largely for hospital patients. )The Prime Minister promised sympa- thetto consideration. 1 An important afternoon in the Souse was spent by the Government 'and Opposition uniting to re -affirm the Idetorminttt!on of the people of Ontario Ito back the War to the end and to saeke It their first duty, Sir WI]llani Iiigqar0t urged the need of every avail- li5bie man to help our eoldiers at the' ont, while Mr. Rowell urged this t as well as the necessity of multR- g the supply of munitions and the uofng or all possible food. ;Chet fel was concluded by the singing' f t cod Save 1110 Ming."
