The Senate Should Be Re-

Dear Expositor, -Mr. G. ;H. Mc-
Intyre, (our (Worthy Liberal (repre-
sentative tin the Federal IHIoluise, from
this (riding, seems to 'have caught
the true tspirit of liberalism, 'judg-
ing fraorn the 'manner in, •which, it
p.sserted tself t'owards the pnoposed
Senate tr.-coostritiotion. Ile seems
tie have !arrayed 'before himself the
loftiest principles end best .tradit-
bons of /the. Liberal party, arid unlike
many Other • prominent Liberals he
has allot 'lost !sight of what was pro,
pounaed hy itaret party as •a 'vital
issue during the (campaign that (led
Ito the ,Liberal ascent to power. The
resolution recently ° inteoduced into
the Dominion Parliament by Mr..
McIntyre, land. twhich he- later with-
drew in defernce to the evishee a
the Premier. While !being an import-.
ant istep in the direction :of the
Senate. 'reform ;is scarcely radical en-.
ough Ito Inewre. the placing of ,this
branch of Our (Federal Government
on the thesis of a (useful and. repre-
sentative pane body. Many con-
tend that the Senate sheuld be ab -
(dished. iCertainly at Should, if it
LS it§ remain in its present state - of
lassitude. Others, principally prom-
inent Cansereative deadprs, are sat-
isfied with (the present ''nert galaxy.
Bulti the Senate, pro,perl constituted
as I a representative a4id responsi-
•ble body, is en indispe sible branch
of 'government Ito c untry , like
outs, that is (rapidly Obtaining 4
plaee of National .prominence. ift
eenetitiu:tes a 1008t isabstantial form
of government, and adds greatly to

Belt telven if this systeni were adopt-
ed, the Senate would mot- be direct-

Our immigrants. •
• Spea.king a the immigrants lthttt
;have larrjered in Toronto this year
an officer tor (the Ontario Immigra-
tion•department (says :
"Out of nearly 14,000 immigrants
who have !come under lour attention
since (the ifirdt 'of this year, =net tte.n
per pent. tot them have been ;women
and gIrls. E think I would be ear°
'in (saying lthat they did ott setenber
more 'than might per cent. and near-
ly ell la (the 'gentler tsex were mar-
ried wionien a that. This is one of
'the facts whieh an Vow WI the
busy 'immigration office at the tine
on. Station reveals. Itgr.oes tv
show however, ti
that there s good
greittad or 'the statements from
the (wag that ()nen there ar ennoble
to find wives. Granting the Vila:tater
of women land girls who have crate
in 'ware ten per :cent. of the Octal
arrivals, that eviould mean only 11400
an army of 14,000 (men, .or qneWo-,
mall far (every' 10 men. This 'seems
rather an sereasing Isita.ati'en, but it
Is 'none the less true." •
Speaking of 'al 'nationality of the
newcomers, he csemarked that nearly
all Who !had come 'to Toronto and
were sent out 'through weste n-
tario were %from the British, ales.
A ilargeenumber Were from the north
ofiTreiand,Mewl from Sootland, and
meet from the more .crowded eentree
of England. •Most s: or the 'women
arid" girls were from laceden land
have (come out .with their husbands
and fathers. Quite a- 'Chanter .3f
the Scotchmen were 'married men,
but they, with few exceptions, aeft
their 'wives and datechters home,
promising to Ibring ttla, out ia.ter.
As la class tof peiapie this year's
'arrivals are said to be a sturdy hot
of men, 'few of (whom are past ri5
years, and the enoelt of them are be-
tween, 20 and, 135 years lot age, end
they are 'fairly well tiet dia. • Some,
it was learned, had considerable
money.
