As a matter of fact, some of these very men clung to the corrupt Ross administration, until the electors rose in their might and pun- ished it, by hurling it from power. - The citizens, and indeed, the Courts in the United States are after the monopolies with severe penalties. Not long ago, the Standard Oil Co. was mulcted in a tremendous fine. Now judgment has been given against the Waters -Pierce Oil Co., by the State of Texas for sixteen million dol- lars, and besides that, the Co, is ousted from the State. Monopolies care nothing for the people, and now the people are beginning to show that they care even less for the monopolies, and punish them when they can. -A British Columbia paper, that has faith in the future of Canada, says :-The universal opinion is that the growth of Canada during the twentieth century will be immeasur- ably greater than the increase in pop- ulation and wealth of the United States during the nineteenth century. This ought to be an Inspiring thought for the young men of the Dominion to dwell upon. And there is also acon- viction abroad that Canada will put her natural wealth to better uses than the United States has. Twentieth century public opinion is very far in advance of nineteenth century public opinion. It will demand a better ad- ministration of the natural wealth of the country. w • • -P. H. Bowyer, the Conservative member for East Kent, has introduced the question of railway taxation in the Legislature. ' He pointed out that, while in Michigan railways give a two cent, fare, in Ontario they charge three cents a mile. This too in face of the fact, that in Michigan the rail- ways have received no subsidies, while in Ontario they have been heavily bonused. Besides, in Canada, rail- ways pay in taxation all told, only $100 a .mile, while in Michigan they pay $400, in Indiana $450, in Ohio $478 per mile. The Government does not think it wise just now to increase the taxation, but has promised consid- eration; It is probably only a ques- tion of time, when railways in Ontario must and will bear an equitable share of taxation. • * -From the present indications, there will be two general elections during 1008. It is tolerably sure that the Ontario Government will appeal to the country during the summer inonths. It is also probable that the Dominion Government will do like- wise, though they may hold another session, if they so 'decide, The indica- tions however aro in favor of a general election for the Dominion before the snow of next winter folie. The writer of this paragraph personally, is not fond of the str i.fa and disturbance of election campaigns, but come they will and must. Seeing that things are thus, perhaps it is better to have them both over in one year, and not disturb business and social relations two years in succession. Since we roust have them, send them on, and let us get over the pesky things for a few years. w --Some may be disposed to smile at the small Opposition in the Ontario Legislature, but if they do not accom- plish very much, it is probably be- cause the Whitney Government has been on the alert and Its administra- tion has been productive of much necessary and useful legislation. The amusing part is that a few of the Op- position have suddenly become pro. ilibitionists, and fancy that Prohibi- tion will be the magic word that will open to them the. path to victory. Others of the littjo bj id oppose this policy.

Committees are to be formed in local option municipalities for the gen- eral purpose of enforcing the law. A municipal officer will be secured wherever possible who favors the principles of the Alliance, in an endea- vor to secure a thorough enforcement of the law. Whenever officers of the law do not proceed promptly to prose- cute or show n tendency to neglect their duties in the enforcement of local option, they will as far as possi- ble, be reported to the provincial sec- retary. Constables found neglecting their duties will be reported and measures will betaken to secure trier removal. An effort will be made to secure a law compelling persons in court for drunkenness to divulge the name of the person selling them liquor in excess. The executive committee was given authority and instructed to organize the temperance electorate for the nomination and election of candi- dates of both parties, who it Is certain will do their utmost to give effect to the policy of the Alliance. Several organizers will soon be put in the field with instructions to act in a non-par- tisan spirit. *4 the election of suoh Commissioners, the rights, powers, authorities and immunities which might under Lhp said Apt bare been exercised and enjoyed by the Council of the said Town and the officers ot the said Corporation acting there for (exoopt the authority to provide money required in respect of such works)) shall and may he exercised. by the said Commission- er} and the officers appointed by them, and tiro Connell thenceforth, during the contlnuanee ot the hoard of Commissioners, shall have no authority in respect of such work except as aforesaid. -There is abundant evidence avail- able, to show that the trend of public opinion is in favor of removal so far as possible of the evils caused by the traffic in intoxicating drinks. It is not now necessary to prove that evils follow the traffic; that is a fact gener- ally admitted. The increase of license fees, reduction' of license, local option campaigns are all movements having for their ultimate object the lessening of the evils referred to, or their re- moval, We may mention three evi- dences of the strength of public senti- ment on this matter. Ono is the de- cision of the Pullman Parlor Car 0o. to abolish the sale of intoxicants on Pullman cars on and after March 1st. Another is the +increase of license fees in Havelock from $250 to $750, as well as the prohibitive license fee recently carried by a by-law in Collingwood. A third indication may be seen in the statement of Air. William Whyte, second ylce-president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, who is distinguished for moderation of judgment and prac- tical sagacity. Speaking recently in Winnipeg, when on a deputation to the Manitoba Government, he urged that bars should be closed at fl o'clock, and he made a vigorous attack on the treating system, and suggested that means should be devised for its legal extinction. According to the press re- ports he said that liquor was respon- sible for the majority of railroad acci- dents. • These statements carry high authority. W. V. TRICE Ei.S.A , L.D.$ , D.D.S.
