On July 1st will come-' late force in our fair province certain novel atatutesaffeeting the institution of marriage and the status of children born in and out of wedlock. These are some of the two; hundred odd laws' the farmer legislators found time to sanction in those dull interludes - of more congenial attendanee at lion. Peter Smith's moving picture - allow across the corridor from the legi: slative chamber. I am merely referrihg to the pic- ture show, not criticising it. There is- even a word to be said in pallia- tion for the parliamentary movies. If it were. not for the show going full blast every night, the farmers in the long sessions of business which was above the heads of Many of them, might, from stagnation, have grown Moss on their shoulders. But watch- ing the fast life on the screen, these helpers at the provincial law mill managed to put in the nightly vigils quite pleasantly,drinking in such draughts of inspiration as are afford- ed by the excruciating embarrass- ments of "The Blushing Bride," "Twin Beds," "Passion," and -but wouldn't it be rather a good idea for the sympathetic "Star" to interview the lion. Peter on the theme of ser- vice in this particular connection - the incentive of the cinema to adop- tion of the latest social uplift laws that may contain or conceal to their frills the germ of the harem and cther seeds of progress. I have a serious attention in this article which must not bear the marks of levity. The moving picture show is a most` expensive way of amusing the farmers who cannot interest themselves in legislation, but who must be kept in the house in case their votes are required. It is an item in the high cost of democracy. Certain it is that as the people's re- presentatives grow less intelligent, the cost of maintaining them in- -creases. The leading 'Members of the House would not be seen near the picture show. But with that innate craving for bread and the circus that abides forever in the rank and file, the show and a free lunch after, had to be run to help the others to pass away the tedious nights. The elected person of the future must not alone be paid, he must be amused and fed at the public expense. This is a serious matter. It is not quite prudent indeed to talk about the Ontario legislature except with gravity. J can recall how the Hon. Ernest Drury himself, in the gander squeak to which he .can sometimes raise an oratorical effort, reminded the House on a iertain occasion that' it is nothing short of anarchy for anyone to question the wisdom of even the least of the laws of this good province.

Sec- tion 4 of this Act tells the elanses of persons who nine be adopted. Sub- section (c) says the consent of the husband may be required "if the child is a married woman." But then again the consent of the husband may be dispensed with if the hus- band does not appear and object; if a county judge, district judge, or juvenile court judge, in earners, pima - lions the husband's fitness or his abil- ity to perform his duties; or if the husband is in jail for three years. The word "adoption" in this law as applied to a married woman is justly suspect of being a euphemism for a relationship of a different sort than that of father and daughter. It is to be .remarked that sister and aunt are excluded from the same re- lationship. A sister may not be adopted by- her brother.
