"THESE LAST DAYS" ,
Ottawa, June 24th.—The session is
ending in a fat -headed way, Parlia-
ment quarreling with the press and
threatening to scratch its eyes out.
This happy state of affairs is part
of the general harmony which has
resulted from Union Government.
If there is still a disbeliever- in
party government anywhere . in the
length and breadth of Canada ' all he
need do to convert himself is to look
at the stupidity which Union, Govern-
ment produces in its followers. The
word Union seems to shrivel the intel-
lect and arrest healthy criticism of
arbitrary actions.. As everybody
knows the present Parliament is
largely made up of second choices,
men . whose convictions were not
strong-. enough to harm them , with
either party, and who accordingly got
the nomination. These half -minds
will not get the nomination again—
_ that goes without saying—but mean-
while they continue to make all 'the
mistakes that mental decrepitude can
stumble into.
Perhaps the worst bone -head play
these hang -overs from the order -in -
council period made was the quarrel
-with the press. Because the Govern-
ment in the last four years has spent
some two million dollars for neces-
sary advertising in. Canadian news-
papers, Parliament jumped to the
conclusion that it owned the news-
papers; and could do anything it liked
with them in the way of spitting in
the Ottawa correspondent's aces. It
viewed with pride the fact that it was
the only parliament since Confedera-
tion that had goaded a united press
into rough language. This pride, as
the sequel shows, was suicidal, but
•the fact that it existed at all is
abundant proof that the present
Parliament is suffering from senile
decay. Imagine any sane body of
• legislators starting a crusade against
the rights of the press and expecting
to get away with it! The only way
to explain _ it
p n is that at Parliament, know-
ing death is at hand, wants to die as
disagreeably as possible.
Being assaulted in its freedom, the
press naturally took measures for de-
fence with the result that a 'great
body of opinion was not exactly creat-
ed—for
reat-edfor it was there before—but in-
-voked against an increased indemnity
for the malingerers of the War Time
Election Act. There ie reason to be-
lieve that the Government, which was
under great pressure of round robins
and threats of absence from the divis-
ions if the salary -grabbers demands
were not met, was highly pleased
with e quarrel which furnished an
excuse to turn the deputation down
on the ground that the public Mind
-was sufficiently infNmed already.-
The treasury raiders withdrew mut-
tering -that they would bring the mat-
ter up again next session. Next ses-
'sion? Ah, there's the, rub! Will
there be one? Their idea was to get
the money' while the getting was
good. One newspaper had a bright
thought. If members of Parliament
really thought that they were worth
four thousand dollars a year why not
pass such a law for the next Parlia-
ment, trusting that they would be
there to share the benefit? Such a
course would show that they were
true patriots and not actuated by sel-
fish interests.
Needless to say this good advice
was sniffed at. This Parliament be-
lieves in ready rnaney. Its members
do not legislate for posterity or, for
that matter, for the next election,
realizing that for most of them there
ain't going to be any next. Now that
the additional indemnity is a hope de-
ferred instead of cash on the nail,
the patriots have lost interest in it
-and the session will not be held up
any longer. They have launched the
washerwoman's curse against the
newspapers that crabbed the game and
the new postal rates on printed mat-
ter are part of a horrible revenge.
Bone Clear Through.
The Government partakes of the
general fecklessness of its supporters.
In tinkering with the budget it has,
to paraphrase an old saying, touched
nothing that it did not dehorn. It
made a great play with the luxury tax
but when it came to a show -down the
threatened interests were able to per-
suade the Finance Minister that the
tax should be an the excess and not
one the whole price. For eXample--
the budget, as it came to the House,
announced a luxury tax of ten per
cent. on suits ' costing over forty-five
fifty, dollar
lift
dollars. That is to saya
Y
suits sets the purchaser back fifty
dollars, plus five dollars and fifty
cents luxury tax :'total extravagance
fifty-five dollars and fifty cents.
That last straw of five -fifty even
on the most prosperous camel's- back
was calculated to give him pause
while he asked himself if he couldn't
make his old clothes do. It was also
calculated to give the merchant
pause while he asked himself . if it
wasn't better to make a profitable
sale `at forty-five' dollars than . to put
the goods unsold at fifty-five fifty back
on the shelf. Like the—quality of
mercy the luxury tax blessed him
that gave and him that took—tile
seller whittling down his price • to
reasonable limits gnd the buyer, con-
fronted with this' object lesson in
thrift, taking a sharp tumble to him-
self. If the buyer finally decided that
he could afford it the Government was
a gainer by ten per cent. on,, the sale
and ten per cent. is a good profit and
worth taking.
What does the amendment do? The
tax on that suit of clothes is on the
excess—that is to say on five dollars
instead of on fifty dollars—five being
the difference between forty-five and
fifty if my . arithmetic is not astray—
and instead of five dollars and fifty
cents our clothes buying patriot hands
over to the Governmente,fifty cents
which is somewhat less than a slap on
the wrist, either ae revenue me as a
moral lesson on extravagance ' ' The
tax is so .small that it will be eaten
up . in collection and it has no real
effect on the high cost of living.
Another example of getting in
Dutch is the appointment by orderin-
council of a commission of seven to
go through the outside Custom House
Service like a dose of salts and thin
down some twenty-four thousand em-
ployees to about half the number.'
The thinning down may be all right
it is in the direction of needed re-
trenchment—but it's the nasty way
It's being done by a band of seven
Yankee intruders, four of whom bear
German names. I am not insisting
on the German end of it—they may
be just as good Yankees as the other
three—but the questipn is: Why
Yankees at all ? Haven- t we got Can-
adians who could do the ,job just as
well and not chew so mach gum?
Once before—the civil servie reclass-
ifration the Government went to the
Tinted States for expert help and the
country has 'lot yet ceased to echo
to that affront to its own intelligence:
We had not looked for an encore so
soon. There will be two moons in
the sky, we venture to predict before
Washington asks Canada or even Eng-
land to comb out her civil• service'
for her.—H. IF. G.

"The profession of a power or faculty
to communicate with or to receive
communications from the dead is, in
my judgment, the profession of a
skill or knowledge in an occult science
within the meaning of the, code." The
court was of the opinion that suspend-
ed sentence might be entered if Miss.
Pollock gave sufficient recognizances.
Under older laws, the penalty for
witchcraft tchc of was w s burnin
g at the stake.

Death .of Mrs. Mary Bell.—Mrs.
Mary Bell,' of Kippen, passed away
after a lengthy illness last Thursday
morning, and was laid to rest on Sat-
urday. The funeral was from her late
home and was very largely attended.
The service was conducted by her
pastor, Rev. Dr. Aitken. Mrs. Bell
was born in West Giwillimbury, Ont.,
on January 16t1f; 1845, of. 'Scotch par-
ents, and was the last child in a
family of eleven. She was brought
by her parents at an early age to a
farm just north of Kippen. On Sep-
tember 23rd, 1863, she married Mr.
Andrew Bell and settled with him on
the farm on the Hensall Road now
occupied by W. G. Bell, removing
thence to her late home some forty-
six years ago. Mr. Bell predeceased
his wife about eight years. Mrs.
Bell, had a family of five boys and
four girls, of whom seven survive—
John C., on the home farm, Andrew
B., and Mrs. William Sinclair on
nearby farms, Mrs. John Richardson,'
of the Manse, Brigden:, Mrs. Williams,
of Herschell, Sask., Mrs. Walper, of
Saskatoon, arid Dan, of Boston. Mrs.
Bell exhibited in marked degree the
truei
characteristics of the Christian
Mother and home maker. Of her it
might well be said very truly that
she was long-suffering and kind. She
envied ,not, she vaunted not herself,
she was not puffed up: She never
behaved herself unseemly, sought not
her own, was not easily provoked,
thought no evil: She rejoiced not in
iniquity, but rejoiced in the truth.
She bore all things, believed all things,
hoped all things, endured all things.
Her owns family and a very wide circle
of friends'near and far, the community
in which she lived and the church of
which she was a life-long member
have lost a real mother in Israel; but
while they • Mourn, they rejoice also
in the noble life that has passed on
and the splendid memory that re-
mains behind.
