HOW BRAVE MEN DIE.
In spite of page after page of it in
the daily papers, the tale of the
Titanic disaster geese like sortie hide-
ous nightmare. That the finest ship
ever built, bearing thousands of
precious lives on her' maiden trip,
should go down in mid -ocean with
only two or three hours' warning,
carrying two-thirds of the people on
board to a watery grave, is almost too
much for the mind at once to grasp.
No wonder feat many of those who
actually saw those sickening scenes
and yet escaped' are nervous wrecks.
Aod yet there is a bright side to it
all Hanastalht' telmogie l when the
gond old BHtisb tra,1iftesK the &trong
should sacrifice the,ueelvee for tbe
weak, was honored by that gallant
shipload as they passed the word,
"Women and children first." Human-
ity triumphed again when the million-
aire and t he aristocrat took their
1.sesr along with tba common folk.
Often we thought tbat the gilding bad
meepletely absorbed the man in these
people of abnormal wealth ; yet wben
the test came the man was there.
Aod again humanity triumphed when
the good ship Carpatbia, catching the
Titsnk'a message of distress, turned
abet in her *lours* and put of full
steam to tering succor to the doomed
Vessel. and when her nisi
crew gave themselvea the task
of caring for the rescued ones.
Toe rale ot heroism called forth by
this reatest of disasters can never he
competed in earth's records, We
know that the officers of the ship
acted a brave men do in the crisis a
their lives. We have read of the calm
composure of the men on board all
their chances of rescue were quickly
slipping away. The wonderful story
has been told of the bandsmen who
kept on playing with the water lapping
about them. We know of the wire-
less operators who stayed with their
instruments and hardly thought of
themselves until tbe last moment—
one went down. the other after & ter-
rible
er
rible experiences was saved. But what
of the otbe,e on the boat whose work
kept them below decks? What of the
engineers who down in lbs bowels of
the ship were standing by their duty
to the last? ,1Il that can he said of
these brave men is that"the lights were
kept burning all over the vessel until
abortly before she teank," and that
"not one of the engineers wee saved."
la the.hour of danger duty and self-
sacrifice were the guiding stars on
board that stricken ship, and in the
days to pins, as long as titles of noble
courage and heave deed thrill the
human heart, the story of the Titanic
will he Geld to eager listeners.
CHARLES M. HAYS.
Canada his lost a great and useful
man in the death of Charles M. Hays,
who was one of the victims of the
Titaale disaster. As bead of the
Gond Trunk Railway System, Mr.
Hays was one of the builders of Can-
ada. To measure the influence which
he wielded. one has only to remember
the Orand Trunk Railway as It was

scone of ways. The

pehiy noticeable.
That the actions of the leader ot the
Opposition bare been envisaged b
political expediency asoma plain. To
ask the people of Ontario to believe
that the Liberals on the Opposition
fee
side vat the House as es matter of prin-
ciple favor. the abolition of the bow,
and that the members of the Govern-
ment side, to a roan, do not favor this
policy, is to box public credulity. It is
dearly politica
The Whitney Administration had
taken the suppres.ion of the liquor
traffic out of politica. They bad given
the Province a policy under local op
tion that stood for acmethbng and
that could be given effect altogether
without tbe interference Of politic. --e
policy under which Grit and Tory
might unite to rid the country of an
evil wherever it was felt to be neces-
sary. The Gcvernment had made the
voice of the people at once effective.
Legal tecbnfcalitis were not per-
mitted to interfere and to impede the
of the law in ag.ratbn. There
had distinct advancement in
pertnanent temperance legislation.
When along comes Mr. Howell, poli-
tician tint and temporal:me man after-
ward, and the whole question of tem-
perance, & "moral issue," is brought
beck into the realm of politics, to
again he made the football of politi-
cians. And there are some tamper•
ance people apparently misled by the
transparent tactics of the Opposition
leader.
Apparently the only thing that Mr.
Rowell can do to satisfy The Free
Press is to get out of political lite and
stay out. Carried to its logical au: -
elusion. its argument is that there
should be no "moral issues" in politics,
and that anyone wbo professes "tem-
perance priociples" must content him-
self with whatever sensors in coo -
cession to such principles Mir James
Whitney may see tit to enact. The
Frew Pow may be astonished and
pained to learn that there are many
people In this Province who do not
worship** it does at the shrine.a Sir
Janne Whitney. The doctrine of
' •oli vine righ t"tet rulers is generally eup-
posed to be buried some centuries deep,
but there remains in The Free Prase
at least one tboreughgoinit exponent
of the doctrine. The pestilential Grits
actually have the audacity to frame a
policy which threatens the Whitney
supremacy! Some twenty of thorn,
sitting in caucus, resolved upon this.
policy. not because (a000rding to The
Flee Press) they believed in
it, but for "political aggrandisement."
Aod immediately, in order that all
the "politic%) aggrandizement" that is
going should be kept where it rightly
beiong--sin the Tory party--someeighty
members of that party, in caucus
assembled, decided upon a move which
they thought would checkmate the
pr'esumpUsous Grits. Of course, it is
not pretended abet all these eighty
members, or any large proportion of
them, really believe in the "abolish
treating" proposal -it is not neeessary
that weathers of The Free Press' part..
$bould keep clear of suspicion that
their actions are "anggeetei by poli-
tical expediency." And although It,
too. might he called & "caucus -made"

Th t Rnelph Herald says the Provin-

giving him a good drubbing at the
polls.

Laurier Government would have been
saved last September if the people of
Ontario bad at that these known that
the Whitney Governpeht closed a
school, In which the majority of the
pupils were English, because the trus-
tees would not employ a teacher of
French. Further evidence that re-
ciprocity wee not defeated on its
merits.
There is probably a groat deal of
truth in the saying of s Toronto paper
that if Captain Smith bad slowed

have docked a day late, and bis pas-
sengers would have complained :

After all, it is the

A committee of the Ontario Leglsls-
tune is to he appointed ter study the
gneetinn of assessment and tax reform.
A similar study was made in Ontario
some years ago. one result being as
remarkable a muddle in tbe way of an
aweement law as ever was enaettd.—
OrillI* Parket.
This is true enough, and yet The
Packet refuses ire support to the
movement which would simplify the
assessment law and place it on a basin
of justice and equity.
A few busybodies, among them J.
Caetell Hopkins, have been telling tbe
people of Britain that "loyal" Cana-
dians are opposed to Irish home rule.
The Monts�wl Witness remarks: "Just
let Mr. Castell Hopkins and Mr. Willi-
son. journalist of changeful record,
and Col. Denison prevail upon some
assailer of Parliament when it sits
again to have this guealion voted
upon, and they will /earn what pro-
portion of Canadians come within the
Castell Hopkins definition of loyal."
