TO ABOLISH BONUS -GIVING.
There is uo doubt that the granting
of bonuses and other special encour-
agements to industries has been over-
done in Ontario, and the general
recognition of this fact in reflected its
a bill before the Legislature to pro
bibit municipalities from giving such
favors. The passing of such legisla-
tion might be considered a hardship
in some quarters in which bonus -giv-
ing has not yet been carried to ex -
teas and in which local ambitions uuay
incline to the securing of new indus-
tries by the offer of special induce-
ments : but on the whole it might be
recein•ed as a welcome Ineasure of re-
lief from the importunities of bonus -
hunters. Municipalities have bur-
dened themselves with debt and high
taxes to bring in manufacturiug es•
tablishwents and "Worn" their town.
and in course of time have found
themselves askiug the question if
they would not be better off if they
had allowed things to nun in the nae
tura! channels. Manufacturer, wuat
have their factories somewhere, and
in the ordinary course they would be
located where the facilities for carry
iug on the various manufacturers
seemed to be present in the must
convenient and advantageous form.
The giving of bonuses dislocates the
natural order of things, and some-
times a bylaw enthusiastically carried
by the taxpayers in a patriotic en-
deavor to build up their town unites
a factory which would be fume suc-
cessful in some other location and a
town which would bre better tiff with-
out the struggling factory. No mat-
ter how often these things happen,
each town must learn its own lesion
—rarely does it benefit from the ex-
perience of its neighbor towns. The

poees to keep the child away ft•utn the

Our own town has had a variety of
experiences in its efforts at "building

the taxpayers is probably not so much
a tendency to denounce :all such
efforts as a disposition to examine
more closely and critically each
scheme which comes up tor approval.
"%Ve have had our lesson, and in future
only the most subetautiad projects
will lee given a show. 1t way be that
the town has reached the point where
it might lay down the rule that no
special encouragement shall be given

tion from taxes for a period of yeasts,

''A PROPHET IN BABYLON."
Those of our readers who have en-
joyed Rev. W. J. Dawson's trilogy of
books on 'The Makers of Modern
English" will read with interest his
recent novel. "A I'reipbct in Babylon."
Mr. Dawson, an English clergy-
man. has been several times sin this
aide of the Atlantic, preaching and
lecturing. and has won for himself
recognition not only as A writer of
merit but also as a speaker and an
evangelist.
His novel deals with the failure of

slon. As a ciet•gyihan lie should
know whereof he speaks. and it is
only just to say that his criticism
though keen is always kind, while the
biame fur what he considers the
wrong condition of thiuge is divided
between the pastor and the people.
The chief ps•rsmage in the tale is John
(Jaunt, a young minister who finds
himself out of sympathy with his
people and who at last resigns Ills
charge and fortes a "League of Ser-
vice," '•a union of all who lova in the
service of all who suffer :" the lmtige,

this point the story lacks originality,
the usual events succeed one another,
uppeeitiou is united. assaasination
attempted, but the right prevaRe.
That many of the charges against
the church have some fouudation even
the must Iuyel of church Members will
out deny. The following quotations
give soave idea of what these charges
are :--"Life has goue out of the
churches,. If the church were alive
people would not lee able to stay away
from it.' Did the church itself eon
form to the idea of a vast rescue
but•iety affording its help tothuew who
needed it wo-l? Was it not eTident
cuough that the chief fuoctiou of the
modern church appeared to Its not to
rapture the sinners but to cuddle the
saints and 'icor smuts at that."
"Thirty years ago rhe tube church
turned her back upon the prophets of
a new science who were opening new
heavens and a new earth to the Aston
ishtd ryes of men. She refused to
listen to thew, she derided and de
muuuced Heol, and the result was rhe

thought as she lost the leadership
of scientific thought."
in spite of its great interest aur) the
undoul,t.ed truth of Bowe of ate
charge, the boot lacks convincing
power. John Gaunt did not discover
that he was out of sympathy with hie
people until the deacous complained
of the decline in the fivaoccs. Then
he discovered that he had been merely
'•a seller of rhetoric." The effort he
made to right himself, and to bring
his people into line with his new way
of thinking. was made with little faith
in its ultimate success. Ile "rented to

Service was thrilling. but warred by
the theatrical episode of the electric

all was struck in the division of
Olivia Jordan, that. Niece her father
opposed her joining the league while
living in his house, she must leave her
home and the rate of her invalid
mother to become ".1 Sister of the

why their shopping should not be
cumpdet(d by 15 or h.alf•past 9. It
