The Boy's Best Friend is his Mother. Who Rules .Our County? Dear expositor,=The politicians tell us at election times that it is the voters who rule the oountrydbut recent events prove that they do not. Did the voters ask for an increase in the indemnity of the members of either the Dominion Parliament or the Ontario Legislature? I think not, as there are very few voters who would do anything so foolish. There are not, two dozen members of the Ontario Legislature who are capable pf earning $600 a year, with the value of a free railway pass all over the Dominion thrown in. And still they went; deliberately to work and voted themselves one thousand dol- lars a session which usually lasts a- bout six weeks and even then most of them are not on duty mole than four days each week as they go home on. Friday and do not get to work until the following Tuesday. It must be , a profitable business as many of the members, according to their own. ;stories, for hey pay out from five to eight huhdred dollars every four years to get elected. Both parties are equally bla able for this greed ; and extravaga cc in connec- tion with increasing he indemnity from $600 to $1,000 pe session and both Should be held c ually deserv- ing of censure and at he next elec- tion the electors shoul forget party long enough to vote against every man who supported this increase. This would teach prey nt and pros- pective politicians to more care- ful of the publid into; este and les§ careful for their own ockets in the future. And while t ey travel all over the Dominion on f ee passes fur- nished by the. railway - ompanies they all vote to compel th . voters who send thein to Pari ament to pay three centa mile i stead of two cents, thus showing h w much more mindful they are of their own pock- ets and the coffers of the railway corporations than they are for the pockets oftheir constituents. After twenty years of what they call " pro- gressive education " the people can- not have gained m ch in intelligence or independence o they would vote out of position a erone of those who have so sbamclfuliy betrayed their trust. I Then, both parties, every man of them, voted to make Protestants support. Boman Catholic schools at Sturgeon Falls, not bceause they have ,a right to that support, but because both side wanted the Catholic vote at the next election.I The members are, also, equally afraid of the hotel keepers . and liguor dealers and truckle to them in order to get their votes.
