S.R. 31.1410TT, Penman/1B ANDPROPRInto THURSDAY OCTOBER 19. 1911„ EDITORIAL NOTES. Sir James Whitney is responsible for the make-up of the Ontario end of the Borden Cabinet, and for the whole make-up of the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board, and nobody wishes to separate Sir James from the glories of his authorship of two historic choices. -Toronto Telegram. There are eight adherents of the Cburch of England in the new Cabinet, five Methodists, four Roman Catholics, and one Baptist. The Church of Eng- land men are Hon. Messrs. Borden, Hazen, Perlay, Rogers, Roche, Burrell, White and Lougheed. The Methodists are Hon. Messrs. Cochrane, Crothers, Kemp, Hughes and Reid. The Roman Catholics are Messrs Monk, Pelletier, Nantel and Doherty, while Mr. Fester is the Baptist. The financial and corporate interests and the Nationalists are, as might be expected, dominant in the new Cabinet. There are. at Ieast four millionaires, if Mr. Rogers can be included in that category. There would have been rive if Mr Forget had accepted Premier Borden's invitation. Nearly all the Ministers are successful and wealthy business or professional men. There are eight lawyers. There is no real representative of the farmer or of the average Consumer or toiler, The Toronto News has made the ac- cusation that the Toronto Globe is in debt to the Government to the extent of $25,000 for postage on papers during election time. The Globe has com- pletely answered the spiteful attack by pointing out, that in common with most of the other Toronto papers, it at first paid extra postage, and was later re- funded the money when all the papers claimed that the regular rates should apply. The Globe agreed to the refund on• condition that the other papers should be given the same treatment. Glasgow has iron bins with binged lid sunk along the curbing and into these the street litter is brushed during the day. Had a Weak Aching Back and a Nasty Sick Headache Mrs, W. R.

It is said further that 'Peron. to Conservatives will demand their pound of flesh, If they are given all they ask, rural Ontario ;;will have to surrender the seats to be given to the city, for the Province as a whole will not likely be entitled to any greater number than at present. It begins to look as if the Ontario farmer will be due to have some serious reflections before he feels the last effect of the vote he cast on Sept. 21, 1911.-Simcoe Reformer. He certainly will'. If the large cen- tres are to be given the percentage of representation they lay claim to, the rural representation in these eastern provinces will become a negligible, quantity. What with the large centres and the growing provincial cities and towns in almost all the constituencies that were formerly classed as rural exercising the larger influence, fanners' representatives will become as scarce as hen's teeth. Indeed, without wait- ing for a new redistribution, the num- ber of representatives in the new Par- liament associated with agriculture is so small as to 'have little weight in directing legislation. The capitalist, and his ally the lawyer, and the manu- facturer, are in the ascendant. Deafness Cannot be Cured. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies, Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eus- tachian Tube. When this tube is in- flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and when it is en- tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be tak- en out and this tube restored to its nor- mal condition, hearing will be destroy- ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the muc- ous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F.J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, 0.

What will the coming Conservative Administration in Canada do with the victory won by its party over the reci- procity idea? There are those who think that Canada, like a passionate child, now that she has got her way, will in the not very distant future turn back to the very thing that she has just rejected. In other words, now that she has spitefully manifested her freedom from "Yankee influence," she will, in calmer moments, recognize what might have been her gain if she had accepted the compact proffered her by Laurier and Taft. For the dispassionate American ob- server, however, there is no little cause for humiliation in the defeat of reci- procity in Canada. It would, perhaps, not have occurred if our people were less given to brag and bluster. Speak- er Clark, in his indiscreet and wholly unbecoming utterance on reciprocity and annexation, gave a fair illustration of the frame of mind and the silly habit of speech of thousands of his country- men in dealing with the subject. The commonest sense of courtesy should prevent Americans and Ameri- can newspapers from so frequently offering insult to our northern neighbor, as it is their custom to do, for belittling of Canada marks a kind of mind that is itself little. We have no shadow of authority of any kind over Canada, not even the moral authority of an elder sister, that could justify any airs of superiority or any arrogance of speech or action. It is not strange that the worthy Canadians who are aware of the attitude of a large part of the American public towards themselves should cherish a chronic resentment which sometimes interferes with their own best political and commercial in- terests. --.i10,-.— NO CAUSE FOR SURPRISE. "Hogs have gone down, but bacon stays up," says the London Advertiser. Why not? It is in these ways that our system of popular governmentil- lustrates its operations. The farmers of Ontario had a perfect right to vote for cheap hogs if they wanted to, and city people had a per- fect right to vote for dear bacon if they thought it ought to be made as expen- sive as possible. Nobody need be surprised if those who buy hogs bow to the popular ver - diet, and if those who sell bacon do the same thing. One of the sure things about the popular form of government is that the people can always get what they want if they want and vote for results like these. Three young children of Alex.Loeben ce of T'ereol, Quebec, were hurried to death in a fire which destroyed the fam- ily dwelling. �1'ioneo.�i � .c9 �Pi LIPTON'S TEA OVER 2 MILLION PACKAGES SOLD WEEKLY (From the Tines of Oct. 16,1$31.)

Short speeches, in the same strain, were also made by Messrs. Needlands, Mclndoo (R), Ho- muth, Towler, Sperling (R. C.), Han- na, Meyer and others. President Stew- art replied in a neat speech, stating that he was pleased that the relations between the Bank, its local agent and the townspeople had always been so cordial and pleasant.

Increasing difficulty is being found in obtaining an adequate supply of hard- wood lumber for the industries of Can- ada. The hardwood tracts of the east- ern provinces for a long time have not been able to meet the demand, and in 1910, 60 per cent of the hardwood used in Canada was imported from the Una ited States. The United States, al- though with a much larger supply of hardwood on hand is also seeing that the annual consumption far exceeds the annual growth and that the virgin supply is being rapidly 'reduced. By praetieal demonstration it has been proven, that waste land if planted in young hardwoods, will prove a profit- able investment at the end of twenty- five years or more, and will improve the productiveness of the surrounding farm land. In the eastern provinces of Canada and in Ontario, particularly, are large tracts of such land, covered at present with an unprofitable tree growth, which through being sandy, rocky or lowlying, cannot be treated es agricultural lands. The Forestry Branch of the,Department of the In- terior is taking a practical interest in the,farmers' woodlots of Ontario, in an effort to make otherwise useless land supply hardwood lumber to an eager market, with profitable returns to the wood )ot'owner. Parties interested in this matter should correspond with the Department at Ottawa, which is al- ready giving practical assistance on important tracts. Foresters will be supplied by the Department to look over tracts of timbered land, estimate the quantity of timber, advise as to what species to encourage or plant ac- cerding to the locality and general con- ditions, and suggest a general working plan. Such scientific knowledge, the the result of former investigations, will be of great benefit to private own- ers and should be sought after at once. GROWLING AT THEIR LEADER. (London Advertiser.) The Montreal Star and the Toronto Telegram savagely rebuke Mr. Bor- den's want of moral courage in the choice of his associates, "Sinister forces have been granted admission to the Privy Council chamber ata time when they might easily have been rightly excluded," says the Stan This is significant Ianguage, coming from the most aggressive journalistic opponent of reciprocity in the late elec- tions. The Telegram is more outspoken and personal. It advises Conservatives to try to defeat Mr, White and Mr. Coch• rane when they appear for re-etection as cabinet ministers. Mr, White it piltories as the nominee of corporation - ism, but Mr. Cochrane is the chief tar- get of its wrath. It cello .lin a dismal failure as Ontario Minister of Lands, having done nothing to open up New Ontario to settlement. It accuses him of corporation sympathies, and of hav- ing brought Bourassa into Ontario. Will the Telegram have the courage of its convictions by opposing Mr. White if he is offered a seat in Conser- vative Toronto? It will not require vouch backbone to fight him at long distance, if, as reported, he will seek a constituency elsewhere. Having lined up with the Big Inter- ests in fighting a measure of relief for farmers and consumers, the Star and the Telegram are not too consistent in their protests against corporation do- mination in the Borden Government. They are getting what they asked the electors to vote for. MAN SUFFRAGE. [London Labor Leader.] Women would forsake their children to vote. They would not vote at all. Their political antagonism to their husbands would destroy the family. They would vote as their husbands vote. They now hold a superior position. They are and should be held subor- dinate. They are not equipped to teach. Their chief duty is to train their children's minds. They should become experts in gov- ernment before seeking the franchise. They should leave the study of polit- ical problems to their husbands. They are now accorded equal oppor- tunities of earning their livings. i+ They ought not to compete with men I'in the rude world of business.

Lesson IV. --Fourth Quarter, For Oct. 2211911. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, E ill, 8 to iv. S. Memory Verses, ili, 11--Go14sn Tsxt, Pa. 0, 4 -1 -Commentary Prepared by Rev. 0, M. Stearn*.. The topic of the lesson today la the rebuilding of the temple, Which was begun in the second year of their re turn (il, 8), but in the seventh month of the first year they repaired the altal; and offered sacrifices. According to Lev. fait, 23-36, the program for the seventh month was, for the first day blowing of trumpet$, on the tenth day the atonement, oa the fifteenth day the feast of taber- nacles, and these they seem to have carefully observed,. Note the one ac- cord, for they gathered together as one man to Jerusalem (111, 1), This Unity of heart must be very pleasing to the Lora. Compare the seven ,"one ac- cords" of Acts 1, 14; it 1, 40; iv, 24; v, b, 12; viii. 6; xv, 25, all fot God, and the four "one accords" of the devil, Acts' 1.11, 57; xli, 20; evil!, 12; xix, 28. Tbeir first essential to the worship, of the Lord was an altar for Beevifice (iii. 2). See the altars of Noah end Abram (Gen. viii, 20; ail, 7, 8; alit, 4), but observe that he had no altar in Egypt Mark the threefold phrase "Unto the Lord" .(iii, 3, 5, 6), and 1f you can find time to mark this and "Before the Lord" in the book of Le- viticus, where they are ,found many Vales, you will be greatly profited, as. these two sayings cover all real Chris- tian life. Tjiere Is a saying in 111, 4,. worthy of close attention, "As the duty of every day required," or as in the margin, "The matter of the day In. its day." It is found just seven times pertaining to the things of God, the other six being hi Ex, XVI, 4; 1 1tan e r viii, 59; zd*v, 30: II Cbron.. viii, 13, t4; Lev. 111. ' 34. It is used once of the, devil's tyranny in )Tux. v, 13. We are reminded of "As 'thy days so shall thy' streugth be" and "Give us this day our daily bread." The expression "the house or temple of the Lord" (iii, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) re-, minds us of the great business in' which we now are or should be en- gaged, the building of the church, which` is His body (Eph. 1, 22, 23; n,; 19-22), "We owu house, whose bonne are we" (Flab. Ili. 6):` t The house of our lesson was a literal. building of wood and stone at Jerusa- lem. The building on which we are- engaged is one of which the living stones are men and women and boys and girls, according to I Pet. 11, 5, gr'. - and every soul saved in any part of the world is another stone for the building. There were much praise and thanksgiving at the laying of the foun- dation of this temple (111. 10, 11). We should be- always full of praise be-: cause of our foundation, which has been laid strong and sure forever Qsa. xxviii, 16; 1 Cor. hi, 11), provided we are on that foundation by faith In' Christ Jesus. All else will be swept away. As we go on with the build- ing day by day some are weeping be- ,. cause of many dlscouragementg, while some shout for joy (111, 12, 13). Some took backward and tell us' of better things in the past. Some look around and are discouraged bee cause of the worldliness and unbelief which prevail. The only way to look is upward tq Him of whom it is writ ten. "He shall not fail nor be dis- couraged (isa, xlii, 4). Certain people who were adversaries of Judah. and Benjamin wanted to. help with this building, but the governor and the high priest said to them, "Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God." So their *assist- ance was refused, and rightly too.' Then they did nil they could to binder the work, and used force and power. to cause it to cease, and succeeded,, se that for many years there was nor progress made with the building (IV, 1-5, 23, 24). In the building of the Chureh, the body of Christ, those who profess to be interested act so differently from Zerubbabel and Joshua, inasmuch as they seek help of every kind from all Sorts of people, never Considering whether they are the Lord's or, not. As a rule, no questions are asked as o Whether saved or unsaved if only oney can be obtatiked or help in the hole, or whatever is needed.
