EDITORAL NOTES.
Complete figures of the votes cast in
the recent Dominion elections for all
constitutencies in the Province of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
show a total vote in Western Canada
of 121,671 for the Liberals, and 104,710
for the Conservatives. The total In-
dependent and Socialist vote was 6,824.
In Manitoba the Conservatives have a
majority of 5,729; in Saskatchewan
the Liberal majority totals up to 18,216
and in Alberta the Liberals led by
7,474.
The,platform of Provincial reform
issued by Mr. N, W. Rowell covers a
wide range and takes advanced ground.
At the same time it is practical. It is
such a program as would be carried out
by a progressive Government within
the limits of three or four sessions, not
merely a collection of novelties intend-
ed to please the imagination. It deals
with some new questions and with ques-
tions that have been for same time
under discussion. It is sincere, it is
practical, and it represents a general
advance all along the line. -Toronto
Star.
For seven years Mr. Whitney has
had the opportunity to institute a poli-
cy for the development of northern
Ontario, and he has failed to make a
move. He has been supported in this
wanton neglect of the great storehouse
of the Province by his entire Cabinet.
No voice has been raised in demand of
the right to have its resources develop-
ed, save the voice of the Opposition
speakers and press. Put no heed was
given them by the dictator at Toronto
or the men whom he made serve his
views in his Cabinet. -Port Arthur
Chronicle.
Sir James Whitney wants to make
the colonization of New Ontario pay
as it goes, and yet in the same mani-
festo he points out that the value of
mineral output increased from eleven
millions in 1904 to thirty millions in
1910, and the revenue from mining
sources grew from $70,000 annually
to $771,000. New Ontario seems to
have given a pretty good return for the

Miss Mary Lebeau, Rdison, Sask.,
writes: -"I was troubled with heart

years, and was so bad at times I had to

aed every little noise would make me

1 began to feel much better, and by the
tette 1 had used the third box I was tont-
pl etely cured. 1 would advise anybody

money expended on it, and if the six-
teen million aerr'k of land le the clay
belt were settled it would add wealth
to old Ontario in the sale of agricul-
tural ents and other manufeee
tures.
His aggressive, progressive declara-
tion for the development of NevaOn-
tario is typical of Mr Rowell's stand
on public issues. Agriculture is to be
liberally assited, Provincial good roads'
policy is to be shorn of red. tape. Great
movements for racial industrial reform
receive i
emphatic support. Agressive,
up-to-date educational policy, the
quickening of Provincial administra-
tion of justice, an actual measure of
civil service reform, those are a few of
the planks in a policy which is bound
to become memorable, The call of
thinking men in both parties for reform
in the assessment system is answered
by a definite positive pledge." -Chat-
ham News.
The demand for men of unimpeach-
able character and of integrity as pol-
itical candidates is to be taken as a
most desirable and encouraging sign of
the times. This hae been the dominant
and outstanding note in the Reform
conventions and nominations preceding
the Provincial contest, and, indeed,
some may attribute the recent change
of leadership in the Liberal party on
the eve of a conquest to the presence
of this conviction, and the selection of
Mr. Rowell as the new chieftain week)
seem to indicate that men of unques-
tioned standing and character are ready
to meet the new and higher standard,
and enter the political arena, which has
too long been avoided by some men of
splendid attainments and qualities, -
Guelph Mercury.
The finances of the Dominions, as,
shown by the monthly statement for
October, was never in better shape,
and Hon. Mr. Fielding has left his suc-
cessor with a surplus of probably
thirty-five millions in sight for the end
of the current fiscal year. For the
first seven months of the fiscal year
the revenue has been $76,291,178, an
increase of $10,476,792 over the corres-
ponding period of last year, while ex-
penditures show decreases of a million
each in both consolidated fund and
capital accounts, The surplus of rev-
enue over total expenditure for ,the
seven months has been a little over
twenty-one millions. For October the
revenue totalled $12,221,653, an increase
of $2,555,461 over October of last year,
The revenue for the month is the "larg-
est on record. The net debt of the
Dominion was decreased by $5,344,844
during the month, and now stands at
$318,593,924.
THE PROVINCIAL FINANCES.
A weak spot in connection with the
Conservatiie administration of provin-
cial affairs is that of the finances. The
expenditures have been largely increas-
ed, but though the revenues have been
buoyant, the latter fact is almost 'en-
tirely due to sources of income which
originated with the late Liberal Gov-
ernment, to many of which the Conser-
vatives when in Opposition objected,
and had they carried out when they
came to power what they talked of
prior to this,, there would have been
deficits instead of surpluses. The
Brantford Expositor thus summarizes
the foundations for increased revenues
which were laid by the Liberal Govern-
ment:
The total receipts of the province
in 1910 were $8,899,004, while in 1904
they were $6,128,357. an increase of
$2,762,046. The increases occurred
chiefly under the following headings:
Corporation taxes, $331,710; succes-
sion duties, $299,744; mining licenses
and fees, $192,085; Dominion subsidy,
$794,112; T. & N. 0. earnings, $420,-
000. All of the increase, save a trifle
less than $300,000, can • be accounted
for by laws placed upon the statute
books by the late government, or by
measures advocated by Liberals. It
speaks volumes for the Liberal party
that seven years after it has been out
of office in Ontario almost every dollar
of the improved revenues of the prov-
ince which the Conservatives have been
recklessly spending can be traced back
to their efforts. Not one dollar would
ever have been received by the prov-
ince under the head of Corporation
Tax had the Conservatives had their
way while they were in Opposition, and
yet from this source alone the Govern
meat has received $6,192,975. Similar-
ly, under the Succession Duties Act
the province has received in all $7,773,-
219, while under the Brewers' and Dis-
tillers' Aet it has received $537,964.
Under these three sources of taxation
the total receipts of the province up
to 31st October, 1900, reached the
magnificent sum of $14,904,159, The
same line of argument applies to the
T. & N. O. earnings. In 1904 the
groat that this province received by
way of subsidy from the Dominion
Government was $1,134,660 In 1010,
owing to the increase in population,
and as a result of the action of the
Liberal Government at Ottawa, the
subsidy was increased to $2,128,822, or
an increase as between 1901 and 1010
Of $991,112. When the Ross Govern-
ment Was in power negotiations were
opened with a vice' to obtaining such
en increased subsidy, with the result
that Ater the Conservatives had

come into power they were satisfac-
torily concluded. Then, as to the
Temiskaming & Northern Ontario
Railway, everybody knows that it was
started by the Ross Government. In
1904 it was in its initial stage of con-
struction, and there were no earnings
received from it by the province,
while in 1910 the receipts were $420,-
000. In other words, the increased
receiptsas between 1904 and 1910
under this particular head were $420-
000. Had the late Government not
undertaken this work the receipts of
the province in 1910 would have been
short just this figure
Naturally there would be some in-
crease of expenditure owing to in-
crease of population, but this is alto-
gether disapportionate. Since 1904
the cost of civil government has in-
creased sixty-five per cent.; the cost of
managing the crown lands has gone up
in the same period 98 per cent, and
total expenditure 68 per cent. The in-
crease per capita expenditure during
the first three years of Conservative
rule was as great as the increase in per
capita expenditure during the whole
thirty-three years of Liberal rule.
Their expenditure has been of the most
prodigal nature, while they have shown
no capacity for discovering new sources
of revenue.
Eczema On The Head.
Mr. Peterson, South Bay, Ont.,
writes: "For years I suffered a sort
of eczema on the head. I tried four
different doctors, giving each a fair
trial, but the disease grew worse and
spread to my arm. I got Dr. Chase's
Ointment, and it has entirely cured me.
I give you my name because I want
other sufferers to know about this
splendid Ointment."
THE PRESS ON MR. ROWELL.
Fkm the way in which Mr. N. W.
Rowell's name, as leader of the Liberal
party in the Ontario Legislature, has
been received by the journals on both
sides of politics it is quite evident that
no mistake has been made in his selec-
tion. The comments on the Liberal
side are perfectly and enthusiastically
unanimous.
The Brantford Expositor .promises
him "the united endorsation of the.
Liberal party all over the Province".
The St. Catharines Journal says "Mr.
Rowell represents the most progressive
type of Liberalism, and be should in.
t;pine his followers with new hopes and
firmer resolves." The London Adver-
tiser says he "may be depended on to
take advanced ground on all questions
affeeting the moral and material wel-
fare of the people of Ontario". The
St, Thomas Journal says he "s entitled
to no half-hearted supportfrom Ontario
Liberals, and will be able to tally to
his support a large element from the
Conservative ranks." The Chatham
News says "young Men who are look-
ing for a man to lead them on the paths
way to greater things wilt find such 4
man in Mr. Rowell " The Lindsay
Post says he "will flake an ideal leader,.
and with a broad, progressive policy
the Liberals enter the approaching eon -
filet under most favorable conditions."
The Ingersoll Chronicle says he "is a
man who can safely be entrusted to
guide the destinies of the Liberal party
in this Province." The Galt Reformer
"predicts great things under Mr. Row -
ell's leadership, and looks forxard with
the greatest confidence to the future.".
Kind things have been said about the
new leader in the true sporting spirit
by some Conservative journals. The
Toronto World says Mr. Rowell is
"young and clean and brave and able.'
and eloquent, with a reputation for
keenness and shrewdness which. he will
have a full scope in the political field to
justify." The Hamilton Spectator,
"in the interest of good government in
Ontario," expresses gratification at
the results of the Liberal convention,
and its belief that "with Whitney in
power and the fortunes of the Liberal.
party in sue it'capabie hands as those of
Hon. Mackenzie King and Mr. Rowell.
the people will get more of it than
would otherwise be the case." The
Kingston Standard describes Mr. Row-
ell as "a splendid platform speaker, an
enthusiastic worker, a loyal Liberal
and a clean gentleman against whose
character and person not a word can
he said," and expresses the opinion
that "public life will be the better for
the presence of such a man." Mr.
Rowell must needs be a strong man to
measure up to such appreciations, but
Liberals have no misgivings on that
point.
The trial of William J. Moore at the
Sarnia Assizes for the murder of Mrs.
King at Petrolea has been postponed
on'account of the prisoner's' ill -health.
Ontario Liberals:have made an ex-
cellent choice in selecting N. W. Row-
ell as their leader, In the prime of
life, a clear and convincing speaker,
well informed on all public questions,
with a clean record and a man of high
ideals, Mr. Rowell possesses qualifica-
tions for leadership such as are eom-
paratively rare in public life. Whether
as leader of an Opposition or head of
a Government Mr. Rowell may be ex-
pected to make a record which Will be
a credit to himself and 'a matter of
pride to his followers.The Weekly

Itis, viii, 22-eCommentary Prepared
by Roy. 0, M. Stearns,
In our two previous Lessons in the
hook of Ezra we easy nearly 50,000 re•
turning to Jerusalem by permission of
Cyrus, the king, under the leadership
of Zerubbabel and Joshua, and we saw
the tenple finished by the 'encouraging
words of Hagar and Zechariah. Now
we see Ezra, a priest in the direct line
from Aaron and also a scribe of the
law of God (vii, IS. 12), returning with
the permission and good will of Artak-
rises, king of Persia, and with hint
over 1,740 of the people. The decree oe
the king .made nothing compulsory -lu
the matter of returning, but gave full
permission to ail who were minded of
their own free wilt to go up with Ezra
(v11, 13). It is thought that the story
of the -book of Esther nt.'s in between
Ez, vi and vis and the statement In
Este i, 7, 8, that there wail royal
wine in abundance (or wine of the
kingdom -margin), .according to the
state of the king, but that every one
did according to his own pleasure In
the matter of drinking gives an idea,
of perfect freedom. Note the abuts -
dant bestowment and freedom of action
granted to Ezra by the king, "Whatso-
ever shall seem gond to thee, * e e that
do after the will of your God, And
whatsoever more shall be needed * * *
bestow it out of the king's treas-
ure
reature house':.. (Ez. vii, -18, 20, '1,2). The
object • Of all this -bounty ;Was the
house of God wbieb was at Jerusalem
(Ez. vil, 15. 10. 17, 19, 13. ''27). The
man of God was - Ezra, who had pro-,
pared bis henrt•to seek the law of the
Lord and to dolt and to teach it and
In whose band was the wisdom el
God (Ex. vii, 10.'25i. The great cause
ba'bk of all others was "the' good band
Of the Lord Clod upon him" (Ez.
0.'9, 28; rill. 18« 22, 31). by which . the
king granted him all bis request, by
which also be was made strong, by
which the right men were brongbt to
him, and, as we shall see in this lea. -
son, by wbicb be was bruugbt safely to
Jerusalem without an armed =escort
Compare the band of the Lord upon the
prophet Ezekiel in Ezek. 1, 3; 111, 14, 22;
Oil, 1; zxziii, 22; Xxzvii, 1; xl, 1, just
seven times. 11 we, are willing to be
wade strong only for Bunneelf,that
people' may know Him as the deer of
all that is done in and through us, we
may expect Ills hand upon us for the
Hake of the man of His right hand (Ps.
Ixxx, 17; dx, 27). Because Ezra bad
said to the king, "The bawd of our God
is upon all them for 'good tbat seek
Ulm," he was ashamed to ask for a
band of soldiers and horsemen to pro-
tect them against the enemy, so they
Pasted and prayed end afflicted them-
selves before' God,. and ae .wits' en-
treated of them (Ez. vill, 21.23). When
Nehemiah went to Jerusalem he ac-
cepted an. escort of captainsof the
army and horsemen, and it is write'
ten that the hIhd of God was upon him
also ('Nee. 11,'8, 9).. Elijah was as truly
cared for by God' In the home of the
desolate woman at Stirepta, where she
ministered to `'him, `as 'wen cared for
by the ministry of birds at Cherith.
With a mind stayed upon Jehovah and
a whole heart for Him, there is•always
perfect freedom to do as occasion
serve. in reliance upon him (I Sant.
z, 7). The silver and the gold and the
vessels, worth over two and a half mil-
lion dollars, were placed under the
eare of twelve priests, with ten inen
to assist them, with instructions to
watch and keep and deliver safely to
the chiefs at Jerusalem to the cbam-
bern'of the bruise of the Lord (verses
'24.30). According to verse 28, both ves-
sels and people wens specially holy unto
-the Lord. "Ye are holy unto the Lord;
the vessels are holy also,'and the (silver
and the gold are a free will offering r-
Unto the Lord, God of Your lathers." /
When the kingdom seines everything
shat! be "holiness unto the Lord" (Zaeh.
xiv, 20, 21). It should -be so now, with
n11 that the believer is and bas, accord-
ing to 1 Pet. I, 15; 11, b, for We are in
a special Sense set apart ter Himself
(Ps. iv, 8). With mere care than these
