—Fon du Lac, a Wisconsin city, has
passed a by-law (ordinance, they Grail
it there) requiring that the portrait of
habitual drunkards shall be posted in
all the saloons of the city, together
with notices to saloon -keepers to sell
them no liquor under penalty of losing
their licenses. 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.

done its best to prevent, expose and
punish the plunder of the public do-
main in the West. 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.

—The scarcity of teachers in On-
tario is considered less than it was.
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

—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. Now and then a than

—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.

—The Weekly Sun says : "If our
preliminary forecast proves correct,
and great care has been taken to veri-
fy it, the damage to the oat crop of
Ontario is sufficient of itself to reduce
the purchasing power of the farmers
of this Province by fully $8,000,000.
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."
