LITTLE BOY.
(Chicago Rseord•Herald ]
The little boy who ran away
Because be thought I wronged him so,
Who turned before he left to say
That I would weep in vain some day,
And wish I bad rot let him go,
Is standing yonder by the gate,
And I must sadly let him wait.
Oh, little boy, yon think me cold,
But love that will not let me rest
Is urging me to fondly fold
You in my eager arms and hold
Yon olosely, gladly to my breast;
Come -»come -oh, little boy, and let
Us both forgive and both forget.
Your poor, bruised little feet may ache,
You think that I have done you wrong;
But though your little heart ahculd
break
I mast be stubborn for your sake,
For you I mast be ataunch and strong;
Make haste, make haste, oh, little one,
Or I shall weakly be done! -
The little boy who said good-bye
With anger in his little heart,
Is coming through the gate, and I -
Forget the wrong he did and fly
To clasp him closely to my heart;
The stars are gleaming out for joy,
My little boy, my Little boy!
A Hanover young man says it would
be no more than fair for the brides to
pay the ministers for servioee rendered
during leap year, That sounds fair en-
ough.

In view of the financial stringency which g y prevailed throughout the
world in 1907, and the unsettled monetary conditions existing in the
United States, it has been necessary to exercise unusual caution and prudence
in administrating the affairs of the Bank. Our policy has been to restrict ad-
vances without interfering with the proper requirements of the customers of
the Bank and to assist in marketing the products of the country -more es-
pecially the crops of the North Westerndistricte-at the same time maintaining
strong Cash Reserves.
Having reference to our announcement at the Annual Meeting that
ono million dollars of new Capital Stock would be offered to the Shareholders
in 1907, we have to inform you that on December 31st $983,700 of this amount
was subscribed for, and $848,597.50 paid up.
During the past year it was considered advisable to establish Branches
of the Bank at the following points; In the Province of Ontario, at Berlin,
Hamilton, Ottawa, and at the corner of Queen and Victoria streets, Toronto;
in the Province of Quebec, at the corner of Bleury and St. Catherine streets,
Montreal; in the Province of Alberta at Strathcona'; and at Vancouver, British
Columbia.
The opening of our Vancouver Office not only marks our entrance into
British Columbia, but completes a chain of Branches at all important centres
from Montreal to the Pacific Coast, including the Capitals of the Western Pro-
vinces. Results so far indicate that these extensions will be of great benefit to
the Institution. -
We have to record with regret the death in January last of Mr. Timothy
Eaton, whose varied business knowledge and sound judgment made him a valued
member of your Directorate. Mr. John C. Eaton, his son, was appointed (o
fill the vacancy on the Board.
The Directors, as is customary, have verified the Head Office Balance Sheet,
as on the 31st of December, 1907, including therein the auditing of our foreign
balances and the certification of all Cash Reserves, Securities and Investments.
The usual careful inspection of the various Branches of the Bank has
been made during the past twelve months.
The Report was ,adopted.
The thanks of the Shareholders were tendered to the President, Vice -Presi-
dent and Directors for their services during the year, and to the General Mana-
ger and other Officers of the Bank for the efficient performance of their respec-
tive duties.
The following gentlemen were elected Directors for the ensuing year:
Messrs. A. W. Austin, W. R, Brock, James Carruthers, R. J. Christie, J. C. Eaton,
J. J. Foy, LC., M.L.A.,; Wilmot D. Matthews, A. M. Nanton and E. B. Osler,
M.P.
E. B. OSLER,
President.
At a subsequent meeting of the Directors Mr. E. B. Osler, M. P., was
elected President and Mr. W. D. Matthews Vice -President, for the ensuing term.

THE COST OF JUST.CE.
The recent exit of a prominent To-
ronto lawyer against the ex -president
of the defunct of Ontario Bank for the
amount of his bill for Ooaneel's fees,
etc , was followed with a good deal of
interest not only l000lly but throughout
the province. At the trial it brought
out that the fee for attendance at court
was $100 to $200 a day and that the fee
depended on the individual lawyer's
estimate of the value of his services.
In oommentrng on the case the To.
ronto Globe says it reveals a situation
of many aspects which should receive
Premier Whitney's attention in the en-
folding of his law reform policy. We
seem to have made the mistake of o.eat
Ing a monopoly without regulating its
fees It seaman natural and necessary pre-
caution when creatirg a monoply in the
public interest to regulate and limit its
charges, but that has not been done in
the case of the' court praotioe. It is
true that a man may conduct his own
ease, but he is not allowed to conduct a
ease for anyone else. Those privileged
to do so seem in no way limited as to
what they may charge. It is disquiet-
ing to ask what becomes of men unable
to pay $100 per day or the tenth part of
it. Dc they get jnatioe?
A man with a foreign name has been
released from a Canadian prison, to
whloh he had been sentenced for a prime
of which he was innocent, His release
was the result of an aooidentaI confes-
sion by the real criminal. The victim
has no means of redress. If he bad been
able to pay $2,000, $5,000 or $7,500 ac-
cording to the varying estimates of the
value of legal servioes, he would prob.
ably have escaped the oonviotion. The
large, if not prohibitive, sums paid for
legal services in oiviI and criminal oases
show that these services are worth the
money. They affect the deoisions of
the courts. This unwelcome conclusion
is inevitable. The array of costly talent
is either necessary to obtain justice or
capable of preventing justice. This is
the necessity of a comprehensive scheme
in revising both civil and criminal prac-
tice. While legal services are worth
such large amounts the pride will be
paid quite irrespective of any restrio-
tiona that may be imposed. But that
they should be worth such amounts is
oontrary to the most elementary prin.
ciple of equality before the law.

In view of the financial stringency which g y prevailed throughout the
world in 1907, and the unsettled monetary conditions existing in the
United States, it has been necessary to exercise unusual caution and prudence
in administrating the affairs of the Bank. Our policy has been to restrict ad-
vances without interfering with the proper requirements of the customers of
the Bank and to assist in marketing the products of the country -more es-
pecially the crops of the North Westerndistricte-at the same time maintaining
strong Cash Reserves.
Having reference to our announcement at the Annual Meeting that
ono million dollars of new Capital Stock would be offered to the Shareholders
in 1907, we have to inform you that on December 31st $983,700 of this amount
was subscribed for, and $848,597.50 paid up.
During the past year it was considered advisable to establish Branches
of the Bank at the following points; In the Province of Ontario, at Berlin,
Hamilton, Ottawa, and at the corner of Queen and Victoria streets, Toronto;
in the Province of Quebec, at the corner of Bleury and St. Catherine streets,
Montreal; in the Province of Alberta at Strathcona'; and at Vancouver, British
Columbia.
The opening of our Vancouver Office not only marks our entrance into
British Columbia, but completes a chain of Branches at all important centres
from Montreal to the Pacific Coast, including the Capitals of the Western Pro-
vinces. Results so far indicate that these extensions will be of great benefit to
the Institution. -
We have to record with regret the death in January last of Mr. Timothy
Eaton, whose varied business knowledge and sound judgment made him a valued
member of your Directorate. Mr. John C. Eaton, his son, was appointed (o
fill the vacancy on the Board.
The Directors, as is customary, have verified the Head Office Balance Sheet,
as on the 31st of December, 1907, including therein the auditing of our foreign
balances and the certification of all Cash Reserves, Securities and Investments.
The usual careful inspection of the various Branches of the Bank has
been made during the past twelve months.
The Report was ,adopted.
The thanks of the Shareholders were tendered to the President, Vice -Presi-
dent and Directors for their services during the year, and to the General Mana-
ger and other Officers of the Bank for the efficient performance of their respec-
tive duties.
The following gentlemen were elected Directors for the ensuing year:
Messrs. A. W. Austin, W. R, Brock, James Carruthers, R. J. Christie, J. C. Eaton,
J. J. Foy, LC., M.L.A.,; Wilmot D. Matthews, A. M. Nanton and E. B. Osler,
M.P.
E. B. OSLER,
President.
At a subsequent meeting of the Directors Mr. E. B. Osler, M. P., was
elected President and Mr. W. D. Matthews Vice -President, for the ensuing term.

THE COST OF JUST.CE.
The recent exit of a prominent To-
ronto lawyer against the ex -president
of the defunct of Ontario Bank for the
amount of his bill for Ooaneel's fees,
etc , was followed with a good deal of
interest not only l000lly but throughout
the province. At the trial it brought
out that the fee for attendance at court
was $100 to $200 a day and that the fee
depended on the individual lawyer's
estimate of the value of his services.
In oommentrng on the case the To.
ronto Globe says it reveals a situation
of many aspects which should receive
Premier Whitney's attention in the en-
folding of his law reform policy. We
seem to have made the mistake of o.eat
Ing a monopoly without regulating its
fees It seaman natural and necessary pre-
caution when creatirg a monoply in the
public interest to regulate and limit its
charges, but that has not been done in
the case of the' court praotioe. It is
true that a man may conduct his own
ease, but he is not allowed to conduct a
ease for anyone else. Those privileged
to do so seem in no way limited as to
what they may charge. It is disquiet-
ing to ask what becomes of men unable
to pay $100 per day or the tenth part of
it. Dc they get jnatioe?
A man with a foreign name has been
released from a Canadian prison, to
whloh he had been sentenced for a prime
of which he was innocent, His release
was the result of an aooidentaI confes-
sion by the real criminal. The victim
has no means of redress. If he bad been
able to pay $2,000, $5,000 or $7,500 ac-
cording to the varying estimates of the
value of legal servioes, he would prob.
ably have escaped the oonviotion. The
large, if not prohibitive, sums paid for
legal services in oiviI and criminal oases
show that these services are worth the
money. They affect the deoisions of
the courts. This unwelcome conclusion
is inevitable. The array of costly talent
is either necessary to obtain justice or
capable of preventing justice. This is
the necessity of a comprehensive scheme
in revising both civil and criminal prac-
tice. While legal services are worth
such large amounts the pride will be
paid quite irrespective of any restrio-
tiona that may be imposed. But that
they should be worth such amounts is
oontrary to the most elementary prin.
ciple of equality before the law.
