Cowan, who has been employed by the Ontario Government for some years as superintendent of Agrlcule tural Societies and Fairs, has resigner ed his position, and will be succeeded by Mr. J. Lockie Wilson, of Glen- garry, the well known farmer poli- tician. Mr. -Wilson will have a sal- ary of $2,000 a 'year. The Toronto News, a few days ago, published a list of the names of those who had testified before Col. Dennison's court, in Toronto, that they had received money for vot- ing for Hon. Mr. Hyman, in Lon don, and the amounted received by each. And on the strength of this list calls, out lustily for the resignation' of Mr. Hyman. There are some 86 names given and the aniount diapers- ed to these 86 voters was V16.50. Now It meet be born in -mind that Mr. Hyman' is under no legal obligation' to resign. Whatever obligation there may be is of a purely moral and per- sonal nature. The iluestion, there - tore, is, has there been a case made otd suffleiently strong • to place on Mr. Hyman the moral obligation to resign? It has been shown quite glumly that the sum named; $916, was paid out for votes in his favor. But It was also equally clearly proven that Collins had eftated that he paid out nearly this amount of his own money with the hope that his doing so might 'secure him a Government job which he has failed to get. Many of these 86 voters swore that they would have voted for Hyman even had they not received the money, while others swore that they took the -money 'and vbted against him. If, therefore, a private individual, with the hope of advancing his own inter- ests, uses his own money and gives it indiscriminately to voters under the plea of getting them to vote for a candidate whom they had previ- ously determined to • vote for, should the candidate thus favored (9 beheld reeponsible for that prtvate individ- uals acts If it had been proven that Collins acted with Hyman's know- ledge 'and consent, then we should say that Hyman would be at least morally responsible. But thus fir this has not been proven and elo at- tempt has been made by the prosecu- tion to prove it. Hence, we say that thus far at any rate, no case has been made out, which should place upon Mr. Hyman either the legal or mor- al obligation to resign. The Ex- positor, of course, has no informa- tion ale to what Mr. Hyman's - in- clinations et' intentions are, but we do say that,whatever the future may reveal, the time for his resignation' has not yet arrived. An apt illastration of how some people make money was 'given before the Insurance Commission at its sit- ting in Ottawa a few days ago. Hon. SA.FORTH, FRIDAY; Nov. 16, 1906. 1•.0•••••11. Extensions or tioundaries The conference between Dominion Ministers and delegates from the Proyinces of Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, relative to the ex- tensitin of their respective boundaries to Hudson Bay, was held in Ottawa On Monday, and concluded by a re- ferenee of the matters to a commit- • tee of the Federal Cabinet. The came was fully presented by the Provin- cial Miniters, after which Sir Wil- • frid Laurier responded that the re- . preentations would receive due con- sideratiort at the hands of his Gov- rnmedt. An Ottawa correspondent remerks : • "The proceedings lasted for only a • few minutes, and were so formal as to leave the :Provincial delegates wondering why they came. The eight Provincial Ministere met - the ttinee Dominion Ministes, and formally • handed in their 'statements, which had previously been furnished to all parties. Then Sir 'Wilfrid Laurier stated that he and his colleagues .,---=-- were a sub-commitiee of counaltand that they would report the Provin- cial argaments to council. That was all. The Provincial Ministers now are feeling rather sheepish, the western men especially, asking why they. were brought so far for se brief and formal an interview. They had expected the Dominion authorities to make -some sort a proposal, or an effort to eee to what extent the rival and overlapping claims nod(' be adjusted, but nothing of the sort was done." Judging from this, the Provincial Ministers were, evidently, disapppciint- ed. They were prepared for a ver- bal blow out, and in this they were cut short, very short. However, per- haps it is just as well. But, all the same one wonders why two able bodied -men slitould come all the way from Regina, and three from Winni- peg, for so enrief and informal an affair. The cn1y Provinces really interested are Ontario and Mani- toba. The infant Province of Sask- atchewan does' not expect anything. but if out of the goodness of their hearts the other Provinces should allow them a few hundred acres they would take it on the principle of singt11 favors thankfully received. I. The Manitoba Government, is, evident- ly, playing for an election grievance. They claim the whole territory, and Say that the boundaries of 'Ontario were irrevocanly fixed at ...Confeder- ation and that, consequently this Province has now no right to parti- cipate in this redistribution„ whereas the Ontario Government on their part claim about half the disputed terri- tory. As the final decision rests with the Dominion Government, eith- er of these provinces are likely to have a grievance no matter how the decision goes. But, in the mean time Manitoba is the worst off for a grievance as a general election is . c pending in that Province. • However. as Sir Wilfrid Laurier has taken the matter into his "serious considera- tion," there may not be a decision given in time to afford an election h grievance for either, Province. - Editorial Notes and Comments The story now in circulatlon 'that in the event of Hn. C. S. Hy- man resigning his seat in Landon he will be opposed in the bye -election to follow by Hon. Adam -Beck. It is Colin H. Campbell, Attorney Geheral In the Manitoba Government, is pres- ident of a compa:ny know& as the On- tario and Western •Land Company. Hon. Geo. E. Foster, ex -Finance Min- iser of Canada, is president of what is known as the Union Trust Com- pany, of Toronto. This latter com- pny WAS organized for the invest- ment of. the trust funds of the Inde- pendent Order of Foresters. The company of which Hon. Colin H. Campbell is president had 40,000 acres of Manitoba lands to dispose' of. That company employed a land agent nam- ed Pritchard, • of Winnipeg, to Sell these lands, and agreed to give him a commission of 25 cents an acre for disposing of them. This • com- mission would amount to the sum of $10,000. Mr. Pritchard sold these lands to the *Union Trust Company, of which Hon. Mr. FoSter was president. When the sale was completed and the money was. paid over by Mr. Foster's com- pany, Mr. Pritchard got his com- M4181071 of $10,000. Had the business ended here no perso& Would have rea- son for tomplaint, had: the Union, Trust Company got Value for • the money it paid. The transaption would have been a straight business deal. But it did not end here. Mr. Prit- hard handed over $1,000 of his com- mission to Mr. Campbell, who,in be- alf of his company, authorized the ale and fixed the monimission and 5,000 to Mr. Foster, who, on be - alt of the Union Trust Company, ad purchased the properCy. Thus Mr. Campbell pocketed $1,000 for fix - Ing the commission, and Mr. Foster pocketed ,KOOO for inducing his com- pany to make the purchase. It is, therefore, clear on the face' of it that the selling company, represent- ed by Hon. Colin Campbell, netted $6,000- less for their lands than the actual value, or, that the Union Trust Company, represented by Hon. Mr. Foster, pard $6,000 more for them than their value. There was' a clear breach of trust on the part 6f either Mr. Campbell or Mr. Foster. Either cempany was robbed of $6,000 that this amount might be divided be- tween the preeidents of the two com- panies, whose duty it . was to sac- redly guard the intereets of their companies. pretty generally known that Mr. Bek's relations with some of his colleagues in the Ontario Cabinet! are not the most cordial and it le not improbable that BO good an ex - cuts to withdraw from an uncomfor- table positiorkswould not be unwelcome to him at the present time. A fight between Hon. Mr. Hyman and Mr. Beck, in London, would be a very bitter one. In the event of Mr. Beck resigntrtg his k-,-,ra in the Ontario Legislature, Mayor Judd is mention- ed as his successom But Mr. Hymen has notcresigned and there is not yet on the rface any reason why -he • should. •••••••+.1.1..• The disclosures recently made id tonnection with the failure of the Ontario Bank would seem to Ind - t ate that a thorough probing into the condielon of other bankini institu- tions and the manner in which they conduct their business, would be in the public interests. This could be one by a Government commission,the the same as the Insurance commis - ion. The *moults have proven the advisability of the Insurance COM- TrassiOn, and the same Might be the ease with reference to, the Banks. This has been objected to by some, beause, they say, it might disturb the confidence of the public in our financial institutions, and prow' detri- mental to the business Interests of the country. But while it might have this result at first, It would prove beneficial in the end, If many or 1 • Zurich, NOTES. —Mr. Charles Walper has re- moved into the residence which he recentlh purchased from Mr. Doan. — -Our nehe Doctor.
