QUESTIONABLE MEANS,

a fund...in ,aid of the ern led children
of Huron .CountY,. has given rise to
lively discuoslon no:to. the wisdom' of

for a.,worthy object .A number of

erable section of;the, community b

coii'tend that the 'purpose towhich the
proceeds are to be donated justifies
the means by which the money is to
be .secured
This questioning "tainted. money,"
of course, is ,a matter of`taste• It is
as well to recognize that the boxing
bout or tournament,, is just the mod-
ern ,way of conducting.' prize fights,
and the prize fightcertainly is a
coirse':and brutal form of entertain-
ment. Not only that it always is 'gros-
sly dishonest. Every sort • of low trick-
ery is introduced into the ;contests,'•
as in horse racing. The outcome often
is : fixed ,before hand, so that the con-
test, such as . it is, is not real.
If we 'take, the position that the pur-
pose to which the profits will be put
justifies .. the entertainment we com.
mit ourselves to a good.,eal, for ex-
hibitien dog fights ,and bull fighting
as they have . it in Mexico. and Spain
could be . justified qn the • .'same jway.

There is en element in every...enc'

TEE HIGH COSTO ' •ELECTIONS
Over in the United States, .they be
moan the high cost of election§,• but
, . they have . nothing on Canada, for, a:
fas' .as we ' have been able to gz tkeeir:
it ' costs six times its much per vote
a Canathan general election, as P
in
does in s United States presidentia
,election, says the, Hamilton Specta-
tor.. .
The 'Hoover -Smith campaign cost,
it was estimated at the time, 23c
ner vote, the average being based up-
on the total expenditures of the. el-
ection. Before the election took place
it was figured that the cost would, be
20e. The vote. was actually higher.
than it was thought ;it •would, be
which, should have brought down the
average cost But„ • as we have indi-
cited,. the per capita cost Was mote
,than 50 per cent. higher. ' .
A writer in MacLean's. Magabine
• estireatea that there are five million
voters in Canrda, and the cost to tine
tovernment of-. taking • the vote will
he $2;000:000 while the total dost'
rf the election; • including• .thecharger
upon •parties and. candidates.. will be
• ',about $9,000,000:• As, he points out,
• the last mentioned .figure is about a
dollar aheadof the Dominsion'popu

Won't do,: the, Cost per voter to• the
, :f•overament' will be 40 cents, andthe
per capita cost of' the total expendi-
ture is $1.90. We are, therefore, very
conserV"ative when ''',we say that o
Canadian 'ge►teral election costs: slat
.ties ag much proportionately zis , a
ttnited States presidential election.
p f course, there is 'a reasoe for .'
;this and it is not, far to seek. Canada
is thinly populated as compared *it'll

the continentis the
and the organizing of meetings •can-
notyet be dispensed with: i
We may ' contrast:. the per capita
cost of voting with that in .England
before the. Reform Bill of 1832, schen
in many ridings .there were only / a
few ; eleeto'rs. When Benjamin Dis-
raeli contested the borough of High:
Wycombe, he got 11 Mit, of the' av-
ailable '35. votes, but it is not on re-
cord that he paid each of the eleven
Voters . $25, as some candidates in
England tlid theirs. The increase it
the number of voters has tended to.
make the purchase of votes exce'
sively costly. So we may console our-
selves. with' the thought that . if the
large number of voters, has added to
the legitimate costs of election, it•
has helped „to remove abused.
