-The Toronto World had a telling
cartoon on Tuesday last. It represen-
ted Premier Ross fast in the stocks.
On the instrument of punishment,
fastened by the padlock of public
opinion, were these words: -
"Boss had either a guilty know-
ledge of the ballot box plugging
(all of which was the work of his
own underlings)- on -His helpless-
ness and ignorance of it all ren-
ders him alike an unfit guardian
of the ballot box."

goods are equally as guilty as their
tool* whom they employ to carry milt
their designs and nefarions work. It
appc.ar s to us that they are afraid to
proseeute, fearing further exposure
and prefer affixing tilt' seven sc•s s in
the past. But will the seal ng of the
past with seven seals or even with I
seven times seventy sa tisfy the people?
Will any overt act on the part of the
government condone the injury done
the Liberal party, wipe out the dis-
grace or rehabilitate it in the position U
it held at the time of the demise of Sir
Oliver Mowat? We think not. Our ,
party can only be purged, cleansed 44
and purified by a short term in opposl-y
tion. Such a comse will do our party
good. We have no fear but it will
come back shortly stronger than ever, .
with the barnacles, heelers, grafters, 4d
office seekers, timber limit suckers
completely eradicated from the body
politic."
-The most damaging and powerful
arraignment of Premier Ross before
the bar of public opinion is that con-
tained in an open letter to the Pre-
mier and published in the Toronto
dailies. The author of the letter is
Rev, D. C. Hossack, a Presbyterian
minister of Toronto, and a staunch
Liberal. The letter occupies several
columns, and is logically and forcibly
written. It is the most damaging
piece of literature yet issued against
the corrupt regime, and coining from
a Liberal of such standing will have
wonderful effect.

-To-day over 135,000,000 people
speak English. It has displaced
French as the language of diplomacy
and is now making great headway as
the universal language of trade. All
North America, South Africa, Liberia,
Australia, New Zealand, Samoa, Ha-
waii, most of Polynesia, and various
small States have permanently adopt-
ed our mother tongue, and there is
every reason to believe that the 10,-
000,000 of Filipinos will be using it in
the course of time. 'With the con-
struction of the Panama canal, Central
America will also probably yield to its
influences to a large extent.

THE RUSSIAN -JAPANESE WAR.
(From The World's Work.)
One can hardly say that a much -
troubled world will this year find itself
in a happy Christmas mood, for the
bloodiest war in history is in progress.
It is a war, too, that involves world-
wide interests. If the European na-
tions do not become entangled in it
during its progress, they must take a
hand in its settlement when it ends.
All Europe, therefore, lives in a state
of increasing anxiety.
Yet even this ghastly war, if one re-
gard it over a range of years, is likely
to bring a guarantee of peace that
could have been secured in no other
way. If we look over the world to see
the largest forces that contend for
mastery, we shall still see the two old
tendencies that have fought for many
a century. One is democracy, the
other is autocracy. All the advance
in thought that the world has made in
recent times and all the progress in
government that has been made dur-
ing a century or more have not touch-
ed the autocratic, Asiatic mind of
Russia, which is the stronghold of
autocracy.,
A clash was obliged to come some-
where, at some time. All autocracies
have had to be whipped. Cromwell,
Washington, the Napoleonic wars, the
French Revolution -all history has
proved this since peoples began to be-
come free. Almost by an accident, it
happened' to be Japan that was pro-
voked to war with Russia. It might
have been England -it mayl be England
yet. Whatever nation happened to
be the Russian antagonist, the struggle
was obliged to come ; for, since the
Russian people have not the capacity
to throw off their yoke, the insolence
of autocracy must meet its doom at
the hand of some foreign power ; for
all the world is now so knit together
that absolute kings have become in-
sufferable. Human freedom has gone
too far for those countries which pos-
sess it to allow it to recede.
There is a sense, therefore, in which
Japan is fighting the battles of all free
peoples; and it is in this sense that
the great war which now darkens the
world is a war for freedom. The hu-
miliation of Russia will bring the time
nearer when enlightened governments
may settle the differences that arise
between them in civilized ways. This
can never he done as long as a brutal
autocracy holds a prominent place in
the family of nations, an autocracy
that has a contempt for all that free
governments stand for.
linteresting Store News For The Holiday Season :
-There are about 20,000 carriers in
the United States rural mail delivery
service. Their pay is $000 a year
where their routes are twenty miles a
day ; smaller distances in proportion
down to $200; and they have to pro-
vide a horse and waggon out of it.
They have no annual leave of absence
with pay, as the city carriers do.
Their average route is twenty-three
miles a day, usually over roads that
are by no means flowery beds of ease.
Many bills for increasing the pay of
these rural carriers have been intro-
duced into Congress. The rural free
delivery is already expensive, and it
will be widely extended. The country
believes that the expense is justified.
-In Toronto "Saturday Night"; the
editor, who is a pronounced Liberal,
writes as follows over the signature of
"Don" :-The unhappy situation has
at last compelled the Ross Govern-
ment to appeal to the province. The
funeral has been fixed for the 25th of
January. The announcement is not
put this way in a spirit of mockery,
nor because I have any unfriendly
feeling for Hon. G. W. Ross and his
colleagues. Nor do I mourn as tine
who cannot be comforted, believing as
I do that nothing but overwhelming
defeat will purify the executive end of
the Liberal party in the Province of
Ontario, Sometimes we say of one
who has been Iong and hopelessly ill,
"It is much better he is gone. Life
was worth nothing to him and he was
a trial to his friends," This sort of
tiring does not mean that the dead
man's friends were not willing to
make sacrifices for him, but even mai*
lice becomes painful when undertaken
for an unhappy and morbid victim of
an incurable malady, It has been evi-
dent that the sick Government should
have been let die much sooner, for re-
organization has not brought about
regeneration, and affliction has failed
to produce either a change of heart or
an improvement of method. The pre-
sent Government cannot be supported
without its supporters becoming acres•
series to inexcusable transactions,
The first duty is to punish the offen-
ders; the second Will be to watch their
successors, punish them promptly if
they offend, and give them as short a
term aS possible to entrench them-
selves.
