SMITH, MANAGER. t "u�zaY �;11z rbiiance Theo, Hall Proprietor. bttorfai —Up to Saturday last, only eight of Leader McKay's present followersin the Legislature, have decided to take the chances of serving under hits another term, Thirty-seven Govern- ment supporters, however, have al- ready enlisted for the conflict. This is an indication of the prospect, *** ----After the hottest temperance fight ever known in New Brunswick, the Scott Act was sustained in Frederic- ton by a. majority of 178. Though it was expected liquor license would be defeated the majority in favor of the act was larger than anticipated. An exceptionally large vote was polled.

McLEAN —It will surprise the people to know that in the first three months of this, year there were 58 fires in school build- ings in Canada and the United States, In one case (the Collingwood disaster) many lives were lost. School houses should be so blunt and protected that it would be next to an impossibility to have one consumed by fire. * * —In a return of the Northwest cen- sus just issued in a bluebook, light is thrown on the progress in the past seven years. In Humboldt, W. As- siuibuia, twelve villages of from 129 to 52.0 inhabitants have sprung up where before 1001 there were none. In Strathcona five new towns have come into existence, with from .314 to 570 people, where before 1001 all was blank, Saskatchewan had nineteen villages with 2,350 people in 1001, and seventy villages with 12,053 people in 1900. The following comparisons of increase are also instructive: - 1000 1901 Edmonton ,.11,107 2,025 Calgary. ......... ,,.11,007 2,020 Moosejaw ............. 0,249 1,558 Regina.....,, ,,,,,,,. 0,100 2,219 Medicine Hat 3,020 1,570 Saskatchewan ..., 3,011 113 Prince Albert 3,005 1,785 1,052 550 —The appropriation of $3000' by the provincial government for the con- tinuance of grain crop competition, so successful in last year's trial, should be received with gladness by the farm- ers who know what the last grant did for the growers. This innovation was one of the best things begun by the government. 'The benefit derived from clean crop pays doubly. It builds up Ontario and sells the grain at an advanced figure. * —The TorontoNews reminds its readers, that on the main issues now under discussion throughout the Pro- vince the Government had the united support of the Liberal party in the Legislature. .On the Beck power policy there was absolute agreement between the Government and the Opposition. The measure to guaran- tee Canadian Northern bonds received the unanimous support of Mr. McKay and his followers. On the proposal to provide Ininimun salaries for rural school teachers, the Legislature was not divided, and Mr. McKay gav e par- ticularly energetic support to the pro- vision for penalizing Boards of Trus- tees. Is there much left to fight about? *•* Wetaskiwin Aggregate 90,240 14,542 Of the 808,803 -people in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta in 1000, 114,300 were Canadian born, and another 122,063 were born in the islands of Great Britain. There were 00,728 born in the United States. The rest were of various origins, 58,510 from Austria, 15,978 from Scandinavia, and 31,104 from Russia. Fifty-six in every eighty were British born, and of these forty-four of fifty-six were Cana- dian born. In the three provinces the Canadians are numerically the largest element, and in any fair election con- test can take control. —While speaking in New Ontario recently, the Liberal Leader, Mr. Mc- Kay, declared "Everything for the settler." This sounds rather amusing and indicates achange of attitude, in view of the following facts :—In 1880, the Liberal Government then in pow- er, deprived the settler of the pine timber on his land. In 1801, the Lib- eral administration took ,away the right to any minerals found on the settler's land. The present Conserva- tive Government restored these to the settler. To hear McKay, one would imagine that it was the Conservatives who deprived the settler of the' pine and minerals on his land, whereas, that was the act of a Liberal adminis- tration. The Whitney Governmebt restored in 1005, what had been taken away in 1880 and 1801. ** —The coming provincial contest will be the twelfth general election held since the passing of the British North American Act. Following Confedera- tion the Sandfield Macdonald Admin- istration, a coalition -Ministry, remain- ed in power frOm July, 1807, to De- cember 10th, 1871. Then came the Blake Government, which held office, from December 20th, 1871, to O,tober 25th, 1872, following which Sirgpliver Mowat was in power from October 25th, 1872, to July 19th, 1890. On July 20th the Hardy Government came into power and continued in office until October 17th, 1599. The Hon. George W. Moss first took office on October 21st, 1800, and his adminis- tration continued until February 7th, 1005, when the Conservatives were re. turned under the leadership of the present Premier. * * The School Book Question, The people of Ontario should- aecal d the Whitney Government a loyal sup- port, if for no other reason, for the smashing of the School ldook Monopo- This was created and fostered by the Liberal Government of which, the present leader, Mr. McKay, was a sup- porter. When the Whitney Government came into power, they resolved to break up the school book ring. This. has been done and the good results are manifest to every parent inthe pro- vince, Dy throwing the printing and sur- plying of the books open to public competition, the publishers were forc- ed to compete with one another, and the effect is seen in the following com- parison between what we used to pay for Public school readers and what we are paying to -day, First Reader, Part I., former price Inc„ reduced price 5c. First Reader, Part II., former price reduced price 7c. Second Reader, former price 25c., reduced price Oc, Third Reader, former duced price 13c. Fourth Reader, former price 15c., re • duced price 15c, Total for the set, former price $1.30, reduced price 40c. A considerable reduction in the prices of the literature texts for the High schools has also been secured, These reductions are as follows : English Literature Texts, former price 50c., present price 20c., reduc- tion 00 per cent. Editions without annotations at 15c. and 10c. each. French Literature Texts, former price 90e., present price 15e., reduction 02 per cent. German Literature Texts, former price 50c.. reduced price 25c., reduc- tion 50 per cent. An edition with limited annotations at 15c. The whole question of the cost anti improvement of all school -text books is now under consideration by the Minister of Education, and the Gov- ernment has announced that should any combination of publishers attempt to control prices and extort from the public unjustifiable profits, the De- partment itself will publish the books. The day of monopoly is gone forever. —Leader McKay should be the last man in the Legislature to shout -'ger- rymander" regarding the recent slight changes in the Ontario constituencies. He should remember the real gerry- mander of North Grey, the constitu- ency he now represents, by Sir Oliver Mowat. At that time, Mr. Creighton was the Conservative member for North Grey. Ile was a vigorous and effective critic of the Liberal Govern- ment, and it was determined to get rid of him, and North Grey was ger- rymandered for the purpose. Mr. Creighton was popular, and so the constituency had to be "mitved" more than once to get him out, Even with the gerrymander, McKay's election was secured by very questionable means. Election crooks were brought in, the St. Vincent ballot affair caused at least one man to depart to Cali- fornia, and he was there, when the writer of this paragraph visited a cer- tain city.- In addition to this, little crosses were found to have been made on four ballots in a very mysterious way. It was by these methods that Mr. McKay first found his way to the Legislature. Notwithstanding all this, Premier Whitney refused to make any change in North Grey, but left McKay in possession of all the advant- age that the Mowat gerrymander gave him. It ill becomes Mr. McKay to shout "gerrymander" because the, Government has seen fit, to remove a few of the burdens imposed upon Con- servatives by a genuine gerrymander, which even divided townships in order to elect Liberal candidates,., -There is often a prejudice against large corporations, and in matty.•cases there are just reasons for, public dis- favor. Very often, huge corporations are greedy and oppressive, and seem to have no regard for the rights of their employees or the public under these circumstances, an exception to the rule is worthy of note, One ease is that of the United States Steel Corporation. This mammoth busi- ness combination during 1007, gave employment to over 210,000 people. and paid out in wages and salaries, more than 160 million dollars, Ac- cording to the usual number allowed for a family, this. corporation must have given a living to over a Million people. The laborers seem to have been satisfied, for they bought thous- ands of shares of the stock of the Conz- pany that employed thein. This giant corporation has not been charged with 'oppressing its competitors, the mar- kets or Its laborers, Its managemeat is declared by "The World's Work" to have been clean, open and honest. It has the strength of a giant, but has not misused its strength. The same cannot be said of all such Immense corporations. Canadian Northern Guarantee. price 35c., re- It is very inconsistent for any Lib- eral, who supported the Ross guaran- tee of $2,000,000 to the Soo industries, to find fault with the present Govern- ment support of the Canadian North- ern so far as to ensure that the ter- minals shall be under the same control as the road itself. In the former case the aid was given to a manufacturing company having no responsibility to the public under its charter. If it failed there was no way to collect the sum guaranteed. It was a deedless. In• the latter case the whole railway line, together with the terminals, is held as security for repayment. In any case it is it secure investment. It does not follow that the Province will have to expend any money upon the project whatever ; the measure which Mr. McKay now condemns was a matter of business expediency to cover the deficiencies of the former contract made by the Liberal party. Because theLeader of the Opposition saw the matter in that light explains why he supported the measure when it came before the House. Where Mr. McKay's duplicity comes in, is, that on the platform he is now condemning what he, a fetf' weeks ago supported. He declares now that the measure was pushed through in the late hours of the Legislature without giving him time to consider It, An interesting side -light is given to that phase of the question by the.etate- nient made by Mr. Tense, the finan- cial critic of the Opposition. He declares that the question of the guar- antee was discussed, and that the Opposition agreed to support it. on the ground that it was right. McKay supported the measure in the House, but now being in bad need of some- thing to howl about, he goes through the country finding fault with what he himself supported. Intelligent peo- ple will see through such pretence. This ono thing, if nothing else, marks With es an unsafe leader, Mr. McKay stated in the Legislature that lie was willing to keep the Legis- lature in session until July that he might fight the proposal for the poet; ponement of the elections in New Ontario, But Mr, McKay was 'nut prepared to keep the Legislature In session for oven a day that he might fight the McKenzie and Mann genre*. tee, Mr. Me'li,ay would not fight the McKenzie and Mann guarantee when he could tight it with a possibility of success.
