THE SCOUT CHIEF.
Last week General Sir Robert
Baden-Powell, the chief of the Boy
Scouts'. delivered an address in Detroit
on "Scouting in Peace and War"
which ought w allay any team people
may entertain that the training of the
.coats is a first step towards militar-
ism. 8ir Robert declared, with unmis-
takable earnestness, that those wbo
have passed through the horrors of
war desire peace more strongly than
those whose knowledge of war is
gained from newspapers.
He recommended the scout move-
ment because it trained boys in it'-
'•'e,.•ieiepttsde nee. in
brothd in cheerful fulfil-
ment of duty, and I,y various illustra-
tions *bowed how such training would
prove advantageous in any walk of
lite. He strongly advocated the prac-
tice of games, especially the American
national game of baseball, though be
denounced the tendency to have it
played only by processionals, as was
becoming too common. He humor-
ously commented on the value which
Mining in catching the hall had bad
for his men in Mafeking during the
siege. The BriUsb were rather short
of ammunition, especially bombs.
The trenches dug by the opposing
forces had been drawn so close that
missiles could be tossed from the ad•
veined trenches into the anent s lines.

the Boers threw bombs into the Brit-
ish trenches the'British used to catch
them and throw them heck. Tbe
Boers, never having played baseball
or cricket, were not good catchers, 50

would explode, and then of course
they would "catch it."
We are glad of the success the snout
movement is attaining in Goderich.
The scoutmaster.here have given
most liberally of their time end
thought to the work, and it is "up to"
the boys to show by their manliness,
their honor. their usefulness, that the
movement is worth all the sacrifice it
has entailed on the part of the scout-
masters and their helpers.

The Toronto World gives somewhat
a new view of the "high Duet of liv-
ing" problem. It evidently believes
tbet the people are less frugal than
they were in former years. It says :
-In fact the high cost of living is to
a great degree the result of an exten-
sion of the standard of living, which
used to be confined to a oowparativeiy
small portion of society, to the whole
range of the population. How many
people are having meat three times a
day. whose fathers used to have it
once a week? How many families
make porridge the chief and some-
times the only dish at tweak fast t
often used to be done ? How many
are now belying the hest and choioeet

The Ottawa Government is pushing
through a bill for the appointment of
a tt.riff commission, which it is openly
charged by Liberals is to be simply an
instilment for raising the tariff and
increasing the exactions of the big in-
terests from the people. Mr. Cock-
sbutt, the member for Brantford, a
protectionist of the extreme type, is a
particularly ardeot advocate of the
oteusure. In his opinion evidently
farmers, consumers and free traders
bare no righta at all. "Is every in-
dustry is Canada to hide its bead be=
owes the farmers say for Mr. Cock -
'butt shouted in the Holes. 'There
.ball certainly not be a free trader on
this tariff commission," declared the
same gentleman. No; a free trader
would spoil the whets game for" the
big interests, wboes puppets are to
coutrol the cotnmiasion and bane out
protectionist "dope" compiled from
"facts" carefully collected from the
right sources. The interests are look-
ing for payment for their services in
placing the present Government in
power, and the tariff commission will
afford • nice. gentlemanly way of reg
elating the payment".

is very anxious to show that its pres-
ent attitude on the question of Orien-
tal immigration is consistent with its
menden the same quect.on while the
Liberal Government waa in power at
Ottawa. What should trouble The
Globe a great deal more seriously is
the inconsistency of its views on this
question with eta general profession of
liberal principles By what right can
any man be excluded from any
country in which he is willing to work
and behave himself? The Globe talks
about the "inherent unfitness for poli-
tical welt -government" of •"uodamo-
cratic aliens from Asia." As a matter
of fact the Chinese are one of the most
democratic peoples to be found any-
where. Anyone who applies the
term "uodemoeratic" fol them is as
tar from the 'nark as moult be the
man who sbonld call the British peo-
ple undemocratic beaus' they have a
king. The Globe knows gnite well
that it is pure, unadulterated selfish-
ness on the part of our own People
that calls for the reetrietnn of Origin•
W immigration. The Golden Rule is
a fine thing, but we need not pretend
that we are trying to live up to it.

DOMINION PARLIAMENT.
The bill for the creation of a tariff
commission has engaged the attention
of Use Ottawa Parliament during the
past week. Tbe Government's pro-
posal with determined opposition
from the liberals, wbo described it as
the initial "quid pro quo" to the
highly protected interests which con-
tributed so lavishly to the Conserva-
tive campaign last year.
Hugh Guthrie dealt very effectively
with the measure. He challenged the
Minister of Finance to give a single
instance of demand or request for the
formation of a tariff commission, ex-
cept from one boa] the Manutaotor-
ere' Association, He pointed out, too,
that this measure, the first one of any
importance or magnitude to be
handled by the new Ftnanoe Minister.
was oue borrowed, on his own admis-
sion, from the United States. At
dissasy Hall, Toronto, Mr.'White had
ddclared that United Steles institu-
tions were bad and if Canada were
dragged into association with them it
would lower this country. And the
first thing this man did when he got
into office was to Dopy this Yankee
device of a Wit[ commission—what a
United States C%mgreeswan described
as "the hest way to sustain the glori-
ous doctrine of protection." Tbe quell-
fication of the members of the pro-
posed commission, Mr. Guthrie said,
was pretty welt understood. Pins,
they were to be Tories, and, second,
they were to he high protectionists.
Mr. Borden bad said the industries of
Canada should be given "a fair
chance, and more than a fair chases,"
It they got spore than a fair chance, it
would he at the expanse of some other
class, some part of the great consum-
ing cls of Canada.
HonFrank Oliver declared that the
commission was an instrument to en-
able the Government to increase the
tariff for the benefit of special inter-
ests.
"This Government," said Mr.
Oliver, "was elected on a platform
which involved the increase of taxa-
tion abd the restriction of trade. The
defection of the high tariff section of
the Liberal party, represented in the
Cabinet by the honorable gentleman
opposite, the Minister of Finance,
aided by the trusts sod combines and
the high protectioniste of their own
�y, elected this Government.. The
Interests, 1 say, elected the Govern-
ment; they are entitled to their
pound of flesh and they are now de•
mending it.. It must Ise ehmewbat
embarrassing to a party tont took the
ground of letting well eno.tgb alone to
be called upon to deliver the goods to
the interest" on such short notice.
Accordingly a commission is ap-
pointed to lay the wit's through
which the puweg will beturned on
later."
