Arch Support
of a Dorothy
Dodd =A Steel
Arch
Most shoes are made to a certain last. But the Dorothy
Dodd shoe is made to the human foot, and that is why it is so
graceful and comfortable. It follows the exact lines of the foot.
Every shoe is arched in the waist, so all abase are made
arched also. But they don't retrain arched more than a few
days ---the arch flattens out completely, the foot then slips up and
down in the shoe,
But the Dorothy Dodd has an arch of steel between the
inner and outer soles. This arch is firmly held by sewing the
inner and outer soles through and through, a feature found only
in custom -trade shoes—it can't flatten,
The weak arch of the foot is perpetually supported by this
arch of steel; There is no slipping. This explains why you can
walk for miles in these shoes without the least fatigue,

Corrugated Carpet Paper is the most practical and common-

itself. It snakes an ordinary carpet seem like an expensive
one. It imparts the spring, elasticity and softness, which
are so .greatly desired. The folds keep the dust away
from the carpet. No noise. No hard feeling. No bunch-

—The faithful of Zion City are
praying for the safe return of
Dowie from Australia, where he
has already been chased three
times by mobs in the principal
cities. Seems to be a case of --
"Physician heal thyself."
—According to the latest infor-
mation from the American Pension
Commissioner there are 996,545
pensioners on the rolls, to pay
whom $133,029,090 was paid out
in pensions last year. Other ex-
penses incident to the business
raised the total cost of pensions for
the year to $137,759,653. The
average amount paid to each.pen-
sioner is $133.49 a year.
—At the death of Mark Hanna,
the Salvation Army of Cleveland,
held memorial service and muffled
their base drum. That was befpre
Hanna's will was read. The Sena-
tor had given the Army some
money during his life, and they
had expectations. • They were
doomed to disappointment, for he
left them nothing by bequest, al-
though his estate totalled up to
seven million dollars.

—The general interests of the
province would be the better ad-
vanced, if Mr. Stratton had been
shelved after the Gamey episode.
The Government overreached itself
in the whitewashing business, and
the revelations of the trial in con-
nection with that affair threw lurid
light on the moral ,condition of
characters trained under the influ-
ence of the Government and sub-
servient to its behests.
—There seems to be little doubt
that the United States National
Good Roads Bill will pass both
houses of Congress. It has passed
the Lower House and is very fav-
orably considered in the Senate.
This bill appropriates $24,000,000
for good roads improvement, $8,-
000,000 to be used annually for
three years. The work will be
under the direct supervision of the
Department of Agriculture, and
the money will be distributed ac-
cording to the population.
—A. little over two years ago the
Legislature formally set aside two
hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars to be granted during three
years in the form of bounties on
beet sugar produced in the Pro-
vince of Ontario, not more than
seventy-five thousand dollars to be
expended in any one year. Mr.
Ross has now given notice of a
resolution setting aside a hundred
and fifty thousand dollars more in
order to continue the bounties for
a period of five years instead of
three.

—Daring a recent debate in the
Legislature, Mr. Whitney, leader
of the Opposition said :—
"There is no such thing as railway
bonusing in the United States. Any
than who would propose a land grant
to a railway there would be hooted out
of the country. Why should we hesi-
tate to take the same position here?"
On this the Weekly Sun remarks :
"We have traveled a long way,
and in the right direction, when
the leader of the Opposition can
give utterance to a declaration
such as that in the Ontario Legis-
lature."
-The Saturday Evening Post
says ;—Whether or not it is true
that Russia has overwhelming "re-
sources," it is certainly true that
a great many people who use the
word resources do not take the
trouble to think what it means.
Millions of square miles are not
necessarily resources; millions of
people are not necessarily resources.
The only resources that cannot be
defined away are inen capable of
intelligent ieadership and men
capable of being intelligently led.
How is Russia off for these? If
she is not rich in them, her millions
of res and of people will avail for
nothing. Since history began
there has been lno time in Wilich
brute force, undirected by brains,
was of touch aeoount ; in these
days brute force amountf to very
littlb indeed, beoanate eery dial

power of the intelligent brain and
deem ,the power of the brain

-A serious fire occurred at
Rideau Hall, the residence of the
Governor-General, on Friday last.
The damage is estimated at dearly
$40,000, and new residence may
be necessary.

—Several of those charged with.
ballot -box stuffing at Toronto civic
elections have been proven guilty
and will suffer the penalty., Serves
them right—but the prluci ails
should suffer as well as the tools.
The investigation should ferret
them out.
--Mr. Ross finds himself con-
fronted by a hostile minority
among bis own followers in the
Legislature. Mr. Stratton is re-
ported in the dailies as being the
leader (in Caucus) in the opposi-
tion to advanced temperance legis-
lation.
—In reply to a question of Wm.
Redmond, Irish Nationalist, in the
House of Commons for information
upon the working of the Irish Land
act, Mr. Wyndham, Chief Secre-
tary for Ireland, said that he be-
lieved that if all the parties con.
cerned worked in the same spirit
as last year great success would
attend the operation of the act.
Now that the Land act stock had
been successfully floated they could
proceed with greater energy. Ap-
plications for advances amounting
to $10,000,000 had been received
from 4,152 tenants on 206 estates ;
61 evicted tenants had been re-
stored and others were about to be
restored, but the working of this
feature of the act was necessarily

—Bystander writes in the Week-
ly Sun thusly :—This province has
a Government with a majority of
three, which an appeal to the peo-
ple would, it is universally believ-
ed, turn into a minority, support-
ing itself in power by expedients of
which this Sault affair is the last
and worst. Meantime constitu-
tional legislation is at an end. The
Legislature is supplanted by an
anti -constitutional conclave called
a caucus, which divides upon
measures of public policy in itself,
and then, by its united vote, forces
them on the House. We are, in
effect, governed not by a constitu-
tional Legislature, but by a cabal.
If there is no way out of this state
of things the prospects of popular
government are not bright.
—The troubles of the Ontario
Government are coming thick and
fast. In the weakest hour of its
existence, its life is threatened by
the exposure of another scandal.
Following close upon the shame-
ful endeavor to purchase a member
of the Legislature, comes the ex-
posure of the Soo bribery. There
is no doubt that the Government
won the Soo election by the expen-
diture of public money in connec-
tion with the payment of claims.
The Toronto News thus refers to
the disgraceful affair :--
"The details of the bribery at Sault
Ste. Marie are coming out before the
Public Accounts Committee. They
fairly take the breath away. Law-
yers' and contractors' names were in-
serted on the pay -roll after the crash
had taken place. Salaries were
"raised" after the company had closed
its works. This was shameless public
robbery. No other name can be given
to such doings. No amount of apolo-
getic explanation can make anything
else at tie payment of these salaries."
Right in the face of this, Premier
Ross has the audacity to propose
to give the re -organized affair two
million dollars, apparently in order
that two or three of his supporters
in the Legislature who are credi-
tors of the concern, may secure
payment of their claims. Is On-
tario to be thus fleeced in order to
keep in power a tottering, discred-
ited and corrupt Government ?
EXTRAVAGANCE INCREASED,
•
The Liberals are still farther
strengthening their claim as a more
extravagant administration than
has been. Despite every pledge
given by the leaders of the party
to reduce the cost of government,
the outlay required for carrying on
the business of the country has
been steadily increasing since 1896.
The main estimates for 1904.05
reach the enormous total of 882,-
935,338, an increase of $21,704,-
457 as compared with 1896-7, and
an addition of $5,825,364 as com-
pared with 1903.04.
The following table of the main
estimates since 1896-7 shows how
reckless the Liberal party became
after being returned to power :
1896.97 1641,230,681
1897.08 .................1..44,607,238
1898.99 .....,...,.a......... 44,912,571

iso2-03 .53, 361,638
1003.04 67,109,974
1004.0662,935,338
The Liberals by thus squander-
ing the looney which they claimed,
in days gone by (is wrung from the
people) have made it necessary to
rakes by customs duties millionis
upon millions of dollars In woes
of the revenue under Conservative
rule. Any further protection for
Ceridian industries is, therefore, ,
out of the question. in order to
collect duties the importation of
foreign goods MA be encouraged.

DISGRACEFUL, IF TRUE.
Speaking of the use of liquor to
incapacitate members of the On-
tario Legislature, the Toronto
World says :--
Tho Ontario Legislature is not
free from the influence of liquor as
directly exerted for the purpose of
serving both political and private
interests. It Is a Notorious fact
that the enormous railway subsi-
dies voted at a recent session of
the Legislature were carried
through in an all-night sitting, in
which liquor flowed in copious
quantities. It is noseoret that
members of the Legislature have
been deliberately incapacitated
with liquor in order to keep them
away from a critical party division
in the house, or to exclude them
from a vote in a committee in
which heavy corporate interests
were at stake. These practices are
no stranger to the present session
of the Ontario Legislature. The
party has its tool and the corpora-
tion has its agent to effect with
alcoholic stimulant what they
could not secure if every member
registered his vote in strict so-
briety,
That the members who have
thus been used represent only a
small fraction of the strength of
the house, it is needless to explain.
The evil is nevertheless glaring and
potent. One member incapacitated
for his Iegislative duties may be
the means of turning an issue
against the interests of the people.
There have been at the present
session of the Legislature members
too intoxicated to attend divisions.
Members sitting on the floor of the
house, too obviously the worse of
liquor to be admitted to a reputa-
ble assembly. Members whose at-
tendance at important committee
meetings was prevented by a free
administration of stimulant.
What do these members think of
themselves? Do they think that
they are honorably discharging the
duties of free and independent
members of parliament? Do they
think they are fair to the honest,
earnest electors who worked for
them night and day in their con-
stituencies, and rejoiced in their
victories. It is a delicate question
but it is one with which the public
interest is too closely identified to
be suppressed on grounds of deli-
cacy.
