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 Advertising rates on application.

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 added to any member's' political re -- cord, was passed upon 'Col.

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 looniest beginning up to what it is tio-dayi.—"'the'• weakest of gill' phen-. omens.11 "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 is content ibo wait, and when the first feeble_pjs ig'of- growth. appear knowwell to='what extent that plant will yet expand.
