The council ordered E. Asimont "posted," while Mat. Dengel made the unusual request that his own photograph be included in the list, oni the ground that this was the only way he could get sobered up and return to a decent life.

It has stood up for the settler against the political land speculator, against the traders in grazing leases in timber limits and land concessions, No doubt that Mr. Borden will have something to say on these subjects. Whether people like his views or not, they will know that they have before them a sincere and conscientious statetman, who says the thing that, he believes, and who will do the thing that he says. * ■ —The delay in securing the action of law in punishing evildoers in the United States is often commented on. Just now, as a set-off to this, United States newspapers are telling of an extraordinary example of speedy jus- tice at Hazelton, Pa., as evidence that all the speed does not belong to the British courts. In this case the magis- trate, after hearing the wife's tale of woe, sentenced the naughty husband to thirty lashes. Thereupon he left the bench, borrowed a belt from a policeman and whaled the defendant until he cried for mercy. B.

For the first half of last year the Edu- cation Department received 382 appli- cations for temporary certificates; this year for the salve time the number re- ceived was 227. Last year the Depart- ment was deluged with applications during the summer vacation ; during last month exactly six were received. This, the officials declare, is a great easing of the situation. There is yet, however, much to be done. There is still a shortage of teachers, but the Department states its purpose to do its part in seeking a solution of the- embarrassing heembarrassing situation. The special Government grant to all schools with second-class certificate teachers, which comes in force this fall i * * * —Here is a good paragraph from a select source —Take life earnestly. Take it as an earnest, vital, essential matter. Take it just as though you personally were born to the task of performing a noble task in it—as though the world waited for your coming. Take it as though it was a grand opportunity to do and achieve, to carry forward great and good schemes, to help and cheer a suffering, weary, it may be a heart -broken, bro- ther. The fact is, life is undervalued by a great majority of mankind. It is not made half as much of as should be the case.

SMITH, MANAGER. itt Sc to tl of ec T h p et ti 1: S ti ti f t ** —In four months between March and August, the Dominion Finance Minister, Mr, Fielding, has obtained from taxation half a million more than the Conservative Government raised in the last twelve months of its administration. One recalls with in- terest the fact that Mr. Fielding at the Ottawa Convention of fourteen years ago "viewed with alarm" the heavy taxation of that day. It would have been hard to convince him then that he would be the.means of taking from the people in four months more than Mr. Foster took in twelve. It would have, perhaps, been equally hard to convince him that he would be borrowing money with difficulty at four and five per cent, interest, whereas at the tune of the Ottawa convention Canadian three per cents were away above par. —The fine of twenty-nine and a quarter million dollars, recently in- flicted upon the Standard Oil Co., seems at first sight to be excessive. But it must be remembered, that for years the organization has been strangling competitors, and crushing competitors, by illegal means. In league with the railways, it has defied the law, and within the last 24 years made profits amounting to nearly eight hundred million dollars. As im- mense fortunes have been made by this brazen monopoly, and made by il- legal means, very little sympathy will be felt for it, at least among the people who have been taxed to produce the immense profits heaped up. The greedy corporation disregarded law and snapped its fingers at all authori- ty, but a special Act has caught it, and if the result is relief from its ac- tions the common people will rejoice.

In no one field crop—save corn—are the returns likely to equal those of last year, while in hay the shortage will be, in its effect, a close second to that in oats. It is only in fruit, so far as the products of the soil are con- cerned, that the actual revenue re- turns promise to make a better show- ing than in 1906. It is too early to speak definitely regarding the dairy industry, but present indications are that the cash obtained from this source will be very much less than was received the previous season. I on top of all this there is a failure in Western wheat, the year will be the most trying one Canadian farmer have experienced since '07." s (prove :hool acher ie ' the smpetent he Dwever, artment. :al le 6rgely chools, zachers 3r —Some ,gured 'eater, luron, arms racts ame ;istered, .re nuts vent iderable gain, •agrancy, nonths, ort )f leserves.
