Peter Verigin threatens that if
something is not done he and his
Doukkcbors will parade in the nude;
1,500 strong, to Winnipeg. That's
what comes of Manitobans boasting
that they don't feel it.
Many years ago, they went on a
parade of the same kind, 'and Frank
Pedley was sent out by the interior
department 'to intercept them. He
interviewed the leaders and gathered
from them that their destination was
Winnipeg and their mission was to
meet the Messiah. "I've just tom(
from Winnipeg," Mr. Pedley told
them, "and He is not there. It is the
last place in the world 'where you

In having banks upon the run,
But each has just itself to thank
For having runs upon the bank.

The poor old bankers are catching
it in the United States, and they are
not altogether to blame. Some of
them made the best of an evil system
--pothers the worst. Twenty years ago,
David B. Forgan, a Canadian whc
had reached a commanding position
among American bankers, told the
committee then revising the Bank
Act at Ottawa that he knew of no
feature of the American banking sys-
tine which he would recommend for
adoption in Canada. He had banking
experience in both countries, and had
his own trials in the. banking patio
of 1907, which was tided over by the
unauthorized use of scrip, for which
the bankers could have been sent to
I penitentiary.

Minister of Game and Fisheries,
suggesting that the Department..be
brought under a separate member of
the cabinet with portfolio, that. the
Tourist and Publicity Bureau be al-
located to the Department of Game
and `Fisheries, that the, Act be cod-
ified and extricated from misun-
derstanding,, and that • power be re
served to the Department to regulate
regionally as the condition of gamy
or fish in any district may demand
restriction, open. season or lengthen-
ing or shortening trapping seasons,
Co-operation with the Province of
Quebec is urged in regard to prohib-
iting sale of wild duck and partridge
in the open market, more uniformity
in the game laws of 'the two pro-
vinces, and definite marking of in-
ter -provincial boundary upon wat-
ers of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa
Rivers. On the question of guides,
the report asks departmental regula-
tions, dor standard of qualifications
and specification of work in which
employment of guides shall be
compulsory. For en:ractions of the
laws on Crown game preserves, the
report suggests increased penalties
and imprisonment for repeating of-
fenders. No recommendations were
made on the question of use of dogs
in hunting deer.
The Bill to prohibit publication of
discriminatory matter, sponsored by
Argue Martin, Con., West Hamilton,
was given second reading and 'sent to
the Legal Bills Committee, at the
suggestion of Premier Henry, E. F.
Singer, Con. St. Andrew's, Toronto
supported the measure, In sounding
a warning that catastophies may
spring from the stirring up of hat-
reds, and that nothing was more like-
ly to bring about disorder than pub-
lic advertisement of prohibitions a-
gainst classes in a community. At the
same time, the bill was opposed by
Wilfrid Heighington, Cons. St. Dav-
ids -Toronto, who contended that
while there may have arisen some
unfortunate incidents, yet the legis-
lature should not approve the prin-
ciple of the bill. Mr. Heighington
felt the spirit of British fair play
would exist and wipe out such dif-
ficulties.
The Ontario Legislature
For the third successive session, a
bill to give threshers liens on the
grain they harvest, by which they
would obtain their money before oth-
er creditors, was defeated in second
reading in the Ontario Legislature.
Support was expressed by its spon-
sor, Wm. Newman, Liberal, Victoria
North, and Austin Smith, Conserva-
tive, Essex South, the latter having
introduced a similar bill last session.
Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Minister of
Agriculture, could see no assistance
to the farmer in the measure, while
Premier George S. Henry concluded
the opposition who also felt there
was no particular advantage to the
farmer.
Hon. William Finlayson, Minister
of Lands and Forests, introduced
his measure for appropriation of
$3,000,900 for Northern Ontario, the
amount being $2,000,000 less than in
other years.
The Game and Fisheries Commit.
tee heard representations from var-
ious sportsmen and hunting organ-
izations in urging the return to use
of dogs in hunting deer. the chief
spokesman favoring the dogs being
Elmer Davis. of Kingston, who con-
tended the present law prevents
older men, and maimed war veterans
and others with physical limitations
who seek to enjoy the sport of deer

the committee for a buck law with
severe penalties for those who shoot
does and fawns.

DOUBLE SPILL AT WATER HAZARD
An unusual spill took place at the running of the
handicap at Newbury, England, recently. Methologist

him.
Second reading was given to the
bill introduced by W. E. N. Sinclair,
Liberal -Opposition leader, which
would abolish grand juries, the mea-
sure going to the Legal Bills Com-
mittee at the suggestion of Attor-
ney -General W. H. Price, who be-
lieved there should be more data and
opinion secured on the question. At
the same time, Col. Price indicated
that there may be legislation to
abolish the function of coroner's in-
quests in certain criminal casesi
where it is felt criminal proceedings
would automatically follow without
the coroner's inquest being held. Mr.
Sinclair charged grand juries are a
useless appendage to the criminal
court system, while Col. Price admit-
ted that their recommendations were
not taken seriously and their func-
tions not discharged efficiently. The
bill, he felt could be simplified, and
any action taken by Ontario would
be in conjunction with the Federal
government.
E. J. Murphy, Con., St. Patrick's --
Toronto, denied the allegation made
by Gordon Waldron, K.C., that he
(Mr. Murphy) had received a fee for
introducing a bill to the Legislature
which would abolish the present Op-
tometry Commission, and at the same
time Mr. Murphy is appearing as
counsel before the commission for
optometrists. Mr. Murphy termed
Mr. Waldron's imputations as "das-
tardly, vile, malicious and untrue,"
offering to withdraw from the House
pending discussion on the question.
Premier Henry observed that he was
pleased to have, Mr. Murphy make
such a cleanout denial of the charge
pointing out that the House has its
dignity to maintain, and that nothing
attached to the member in the inci-
dent.
Premier Henry also read to the
House a message be sent to Governor
James Rolph of California, ectpresi
sing the sympathy of the Province
and the Legislature in the loss of
life and destruction caused by the
recent earthquake.

new tribute to Scouting from the
Chief Surgeon, Dr. D. E. Robertsons.
The development by the boys at
Thistletown of character and morale
"that is rare in the ordinary run of
patients" is in large part credited by
the surgeon to the "self-imposed" 14.
