ELLIOTT, PRl3LURER AND PROPltr:r rOP THURSDAY, AUGUST 22. 1.907. NOTES AND COMMENTS. During the three mouths ending with March 31st last, 421 people were killed and 4 020 Injured in railway accidents in the United States. This is at the rate of 1 684 deaths and 19,680 wounded 1i for the full year. If half that number •r of casnalities occurred in a battle Sad, e denly brought on, the whole continent b would gasp with horror. t 7 Cape Breton on Tuesday, by way of a plebiscite, decided to repeal the Scott act. A majority of at least seven hun- dred was registered. The aot has beers n force in this part of Nova Scotia since the early eighties. Circnmstancea have very greatly altered of late years, with the growth of coal mining, and the steel industry, and breaches of the act are not uncommon in some places, notably Sydney. Advertisiug has been referred to as an insurance polioy on the life of a business. It is more then that. Besides fulfilling all the functions of an insurance policy, it yields in annual dividends more than the amonnt of the annual premium pay. meats. The holder of the advertising insurance policy profits while he lives and leaves a valuable asset to his heirs when he dies. How about your busi- ness? Is its present adequately provided for and its future protected? Hundreda of thousands of cords of pulpwood are annually exported which should be preserved, or at least convert- ed into paper in Canade, and the annual volume ot export is growing at a rapid rate. Why shonld Canada not have the pulp and paper mills, the skilled labor, the increase of population, the expendi- ture of money and the enlarged traffic which would be involved in an enlight- ened policy, making the most of the raw material in its forests?—St. John (N.B.) Telegraph. Dr. Robt. Bell, a prominent 1. bysieian of Loudon, England, holds that cancer is not caused by any microorganism, but is the result of faulty diet and con- sequent improper sanitation of the body. In a recent lecture he announced that bad eating and drinking was one of the chief factors in the production of can- cer. Ode of the special causes was the eating of too urach red meat, but in general the persons who eat freely of vegetables and milk were better able to resist the approach of cancer. In his- whole iswhole life he had met only one cancer patient who was a vegetarian. Smoking he believed to be an excitant of cancer, but not a direct cause. It was his be- lief that within ten years the world would know how to rid itself of this disaase. The Liberal Government have develop- ed the country, reformed the customs service, exploited Canada's natural re- sources, reduced taxation, promoted trade and commerce, increased the re- venge, made substantial surpluses, in- creased transportation faoilities, carried on a successful immigration policy, le- gislated beneficially for the working man, improved the great watorw aye, practised a wise economy, produced a healthy Im- perial sentiment, built public works, made better law:; calculated to conserve our timber and coal Janda for the settler, and generally built up Canada for the Canadians. In the days of prosperity the people should not forget the causes which have had to do with the promotion and maintainanco of good times. No- thing should be done to interfere with a political party that in a brief ten years has made the Dominion of Canada the leader of every other nation on earth in T. • Ai.

Sir Wilfri1 Laurier said he woad make of Canaan a nation, how well he has progressed the people know, and that they appeciate all his leadership and guiding hand means will be amply de- monstrated the next time an appeal is made to the electors. SOME TORY SCANDALS The Conservatives have nothing to offer the people but scandal. Suppose they give to the Canadian people are - instate of a few Conservative scandals ti a; have not been entirely forgotten. Thera was the McGreevy-Langevin acaudal., involving a loss to the country of $700,000, a great part ot which wont into a corrupt Tory campaign Lund. The Curran Bridge scandal post the country $270,000, and the Tory fund profited to that amount. The Esquimalt doom was given to high instead of low tenders, audio profit of $:240,979 ensued, of which $27,000 found its way to the treasurer of the Tory campaign fund. The Tay canal, known as "Haggart's ditch," cost the country several hundred thousand dollars, and was nothing but a sink hole for the acquisition of election funds. One might fill a column with trans- actions of a similar character, and yet the Torics expect the people to take them back. When Sir Mackenzie Bowels, being Prime Minister of Canada, declared that hehad been living in a"nest of traitors," he was speaking of certain colleagues of his in the Conservative Government of the day, some of whom are at this time members of the House, and would be among the leaders should the. Conserva- tives be retnrned to power. IMMENSE REVENUE RECEIPTS A glance at the general revenue for the first quarter of the current fiscal year ending July 30th, 1907, will die- cicse a remarkable condition of affairs. The total revenue for the past four months amounts to $32,291,888; during the same period the total expenditure has been $17,191,663 on consolidated fund account and $4,561,641 on capital account. For the first four months of the current fiscal year tha surplus of ordinary revenue over ordinary expendi- ture is $19,100,223, In short, the affairs of the Dominion have been conducted upon such a sound basis that there is a visible surplus of $19,100,223 in four months. Is it reasonably possible that the opponents of the Government can convince the people that a change is de- sirable ? What have the Conservatives to offer which will prove more accept- able than the results outlined here ? It should not be forgotten that these fig- ures are not estimates, they are actual results, and the cash balance to the credit of the people is in the treasury of the Dominion. For the first four weeks of the present fiscal /year the customs revenue totals the top notch figure of $20,451,915. o The Liberals promised they would construct a tarriff for rev- enue, and thio is the gratifying result of their labors. NEWS NOTES. The Presbyterian Church in Canada requires $473,000 for its various objects. A new C. P. R. steamer will be built for the Pacific coast service, to take the place of the Princess Victoria. The New Zealand Legislative Council has thrown out the bill permitting the election of women to the Upper House. Three million feet of pine lumber were burned during a fire at Sault Ste. Marie and the damage vtill reach the $150,000 mark. New post cards still coming, SACNDERS. Second hand and noir 6chool books at SA:canons'.
