and, probably too his party as well, •
Dr. Roberts refused the Conservative
honor, chose a like nomination from
the Liberal party, and was elected
Liberal member in the 11934 election.
No wonder Col. Price was . peeved,
and no wonder the vials of his wrath
were poured over the luckless head
of a Man who he firmly believed had
acted the part of a thankless turn-
coat. Perhaps he thought that any
language was too good for such a
man.
Thereili he erred, however. There
iS, it appears, even a limit in the' Leg-
islature, to the language a member
, may use against a fellow member in
debate. Col. Price may be right in
-:"his contention that he did not use the
language specified in the motion of
censure, but it is self evident that
the'langtage he did use, ,was So far
below the dignity of the Legislature
as to appear vulgar, if not indecent,
in inference, at anv rate.
Col. Price is not.a. new man in pub -
lice life. He has many years experi-
ence, both as a memher and a cabinet
minister behind him. His training
-in the legal profession and as At-
torney -General of the Province are
not conducive to either loose think-
ing or speaking., His choice of lan-
guage must have been deliberate,
and whether his version or the Gov-
ernment's is correct, either one was
open to censure.
If it had been ootherWise, there
would have been a good deal more
said about the vote of censure ih the
House and out of it, and in the press.
as well.
And the bull fight! Well, get two
members on opposite sides of politics
milling \about the Legislative cham-
ber with a Scotch Shorthorn bull and
introduce even a little Scotch whis-
key into the argument and you have
the makings of a real fight. And
there was one.
A few months ago, while in Scot-
land, the Hon. Duncan Marshall pur-
chased at auction a Scotch Shorthorn
bull for the agricultural department,
for which he paid $16,000. Quite a
price, it must be admitted, even for a
department bull.
But in his. purch:ase Mr. Marshall
did riot use the public's money, but
money contributed by private indi-
viduals who have at heart: the im-
, provement of the Shorthorn breed
m Canada. Under those circumstanc-
es and under those terms,. Ontario
received a bargain, even at the price.
According to Mr. Acres, Conserva-
the matter is not as simple as all that.
In his mind, the Sh,orthorn is not a
gift at all, but an animal that is go-
ing to cost the country very dear in -
,.Mr. Acres has \ nothing tO say
against the bull. As a bull, it may
he:all right. And, as,, Mr. Marshall
is one of the greatest authorities on
that breed in Canada or elsewhere,
it probably is. That is not the Point.
- It seems that the former owner in
Scotland is also a distiller, and that
is where the Scotch Whiskey comes
in. In addition to paying $15,0000,
Mr. Acres contends that the Minister
of Agriculture had also to :prornis,
to put the Scotch distiller'S7WileS on
the Ontario market and push the
sales as well.
All of which may be true, but prob-
ably is not. If the Scotch distiller
had given Mr. Marshall $15,000 to
take the bull and use it aS a blind for
the whiskey operations, Mr. Acres'
contention might have some founda-
tion of fact. At least, his view would
more easily penetrate the average
mind or even the prejudiced minds.
At any rate it. did not take Mr.
Acres very far in the House, not to
mention the country.
As a place of entekaininent, the
Legislature this session ha,s often
been in a, class by itself. The people
of the Province have enjoyed the ses-
sions, even if the price seemed a lit-
tle high at times. Rut noW, we _be-.
the fun iS over for this year.
-Beginning With this week the mem-
bers will meet in committee every
morning and in seSsion every after,
noon and every evening, except Fri-
day. That means work and 'not play,
,but as there is, still a good deal of im-
legislatien to be brought down, the
members will ha,ve to stick very

The Pap of Rural Couriers
In a recent editorial the Goderich
Star commented on the fact that a
resolution presented in the Domin-
on Parliament, that rural mail cour-
iers should be paid so much per mile,
instead of securing their jobs by
tender, was ruled out of order on the
ground that it would increase expen-
ditures
by some millions of dollars.
And in conclusion the Star said:
"Tendering for such jobs is a vicious
practise ; if the same system applied'
to all Government jobs, the national
debt could soon be. liquidated."
That is quite true. And, if mem-
bers were elected to Parliament by
tender, that happy, debt -free day
would arrive all the sooner.
But speaking seriously, the prac-
tise of letting mail contracts by ten-
der 'is a viscious practise and a most
unfair one. There is not, we believe,
in this county, a single mail courier
able to make an independent living
out of what he earns from -his work. • •
It is all right to 'say it is the cour-
ier's own fault. That he' Sets ' his
own salary. In a sense he does, but
it is done unwittingly and under cir-
cumstances of which he knows little
or nothing at the time he submits his
. tender. And he lives to regret it
long before his contract has expired
No man can keep a horse, often
two, and a car, perhaps, as well, and
work six days a week for the few
hundred -„dollars that he earns from
his contract. The mail man knows
that and so does the Government.
The viscious part to the mail; cour-
ier lies in the fact that while he him-
self has learned the folly of his ten-
-der price, ;the man who competes
with him at the expiration of the .
contract, doesnot realize what he
is letting himself in for.
And the viscious part on the Gov,
-eminent side is- that 'the-- Government -
• knows it is getting service far below
the cost it can be produced, but in -
insists on its pound of flesh, just be-
cause it has the mail marl tied up in a
tender.
Rural mail; -service is one of the
greatest boons the rural residents
ever experienced, 'but it has two
sides. There is the mail man to con-
sider as well as ,the rural residents.
The latter have had long and free
enjoyment of their privileges. Itis
time the mail maxi and .-his right
were being considered.

The Legislature
The week just closed has been'one
of high lights in the Legislature at
Toronto. There was a motion of
censure passed , on- .a member—the
first such motion passed during the
,,,,,---present century—continuous wrang-
ling and ` a bull fight.' At least two
members had a wordy- battle over a
Scotch Shorthorn bull, in which
Scotch whiskey also figured, which,
perhaps, accounted for some of the
warmth -of the debate.
The motion of censure,,not by any
means a desirable addition to.,ehave

S. S. -LESSON FOR MARCH 19th
Lesson • 1110,0es-Jesus Explains the•
• Kingdom.
Lesson Passage—Luke T3:18-30. -
Golden Text—Luke '13:29.
Christ's asking the question, 'Um+tio
what is the kingdom, 'of God like?'•
makes us to consider the Kingdom of
God as a reality. It 'cls no mese 'Nope
or wish or dtelvloat „dream. Hence. it
can be correctly, if partilally, under-
stood ,and realized '.here and now.
The Kingdom of God, is a realm
wherein God rales. G.od is King- and
has therefore subjects, and Hi sub-
jects stand in' a certain relatio to
Him and to !one another, The Di fine
soul and the souls He has, ere ted
stand in certain` relations, to . e 'ch
other; and, accordling to the ew
Testament, the way in :which God and
men get on tote/ther and live to-
gether in the 'Kingdom which con-
tains. them, has come into being
through Jesus Christ. In talking
with. !Hiss disciples, 'Christ lilkfted the
Klingd n to 'things sof a natural
g'rownbh, rather than of mechanical
comvbination. 'Christ uses a very small
seed to illustrate His -question a
grain of mustard seed.
It should he easier for 'us to -day to
believe greatly in the possible ploten-
itnatlifliy of the stmalll, This parable of
our Lard should come to us wi'bh far,
greater force of rebuke or enecurage-
'meat, as may the needled, than ever it
could too those who first heard it, es,.
;peoialdy in view of the a'in:aainlg evelu-
tion of 'Christianity itself, frem -that

"Small es a mustard 'seed" Was 'a
-current expression to indicate any-
thing inisigniluean)t: .tThe 'Salviour ac-
cepts this as representing the seed
Of truth He ,was then :planting in the
earth. To some His teachings ap-
peared to !be orf So little worth that,
once ,pat in the mind they would soon
be covered up and no more remem-
bered. But lite who brought His
tru'th and planted it stays It is indeed
small, but it Is a seed; ib has vital-
ity, and nneesds no More than to be
left in order to live and grow. Few
gave (heed 'to the sowing of this seed
and, few of those who did had mush
fprosrpect of its growth. Rut51tthe Lord
Himself had no misgivings. That
which finds daily a hidirug-place in
Palestine will spring up, and shoot
forth on every side, until it occasion
world-wide interest. This is the
confidence of 'the Great Telacher who
proclaims the truth which finds small
acceptance. He is like the man who
has hid a -mustard -seed in his garden
and has sett a mark at the spot. 1:Ie

IFE INSURANCE ASSETS—large in
the aggregate -- actually consist of
the "little savings" of more than
35500,000 Canadian_policyholders. The
great majorityphiese.policyholders are
men and women of moderate means, •
whose thrift often.involves personal

Snaring in the protection and financial

Then you carr realize what millions of
similar savings mean to the people of
Canada. t
These" combined savings in Life Insur-
ance, which total more than Two Billion '
