And the axe is being vigorouly wended on , all Liberal Postmasters by Hon L. P. Pelletier. In the whole 15 years of the Laurier regime the removals of Post- masters for all causes totalled only 1,- 810. Mr. Pelletier promises to beat that record in his first two years of office if he lasts that long. In Quebec the dismissals of Postmasters between Oct. 11th, 1911 and Feb. 3rd last have totalled 472: Ontario, 126; Nova Scotia, 213; New Brunswick, 116; Manitoba, 54; Alberta, 41; Saskatchewan, 74; British Columbia, 13; and Prince Ed- ward Island, 59. Of special importance in the Provin- cial Legislature is the new Factory Act which is now ready to be taken up for its third reading, but which will be strenuously opposed by the Opposition. Nothing this season has revealed so clearly at least so say Labor repre- sentatives—the unprogressiveness of the Whitney Government, This new act one would have supposed would have incorporated in its clauses to improve the conditions under which employees (especially women and children) work; for the reduction of the hours of labor; paying special attention to health and surroundings of employees; and for se- curing safety devices on machiney. As a matter of fact none of these improve ments have been added to the Act in spite of the vigorous advocacy of Mr. N. W. Rowell, K.C., Allan Studholme, Labor Member for East Hamilton and on all the members of the Opposition. Numerous amendments tending to the improvement of factory conditions have been voted down by the Government majority in the House. The Churchill memorandum, unfort- unate as it has been in some of its re- sults, has served one good purpose. It has served as a revelation to the states- manship of the world, and especially to the British Empire- of Canada herself no less than of England—that there is a Canadian national spirit that wilt not always allow itself to be trifled with or treated with contempt. We are not as- suming that there was any feeling of contempt or lack of respect behind the Churchill memorandum; the utmost, probably, that can be said is that there was a lack of knowledge or sympathy with the ideals and purposes of those Canadians who are seeking to build up a great and self respecting nation on this North American continent, and within the British Empire, capable of taking care of its own honor and will- ing so asume its national responsibilities, and for that failure to understand and appreciate, Canadians themselves are first of all to blame. The spirit in which the Churchill memorandum has been re- ceived may help to prevent misunder- standings • in the future.- Woodstock Sentinel Review. The Liberals have made up their minds that this, policy of direct cash contributions is to dangerous a depart- ure from long -fought -for principles for it to go through without an endorsation from the people. If it does finally pass the house it will be only by the oper- ation of brute -force methods adopted by a subservient majority at the behest of a machine politician. Ottawa Free Press. The cry for tax reform is becoming so loud and insistent that even the Prime Minister of Ontario may hear it after a while. Some days ago the On- tario Associated Boards of Trade for- warded to Sir James Whitney a reso- lution calling for assessment reform. Friday a deputation representing 10,000 members of 63 Boards of Trade in all parts of Ontario waited upon the Prem- ier, the Provincial Secretary and the Minister of Agriculture, to emphasize the great need for immediate action on the part of the Government. Mr. Borden's policy appears, how- ever, to be as usual, double -headed. In Ontario his organs will be allowed to tell the electors that Borden has a per- manent policy of building warships. That, although it would be nonsense of Laurier to build a Canadian navy, Bor- den will build one just as soon as he gets the time. Down in Quebec the Tory organs will inform the habitants that there will be no Canadian navy, that their boys will not be disembowell- ed by cannon shot while fighting Bri- tain's battles. By these means the Premier hopes, when the time comes, to get another lease of power. —Brock- ville Recorder. "Unstable as water" applies rather patly to Mr. Borden. He has taken, but not for long at a time, many stands on the naval question. He advocated and voted for the principles of a Canadian navy, built in Canada; now he denies it. He opposed the policy of contribution as a "separatist" policy. Now, noth- ing else will serve him or his political purposes. He still has "adequate pro- tection" --the made -in -Canada principle —a plank in his platform. Now he says Canada cannot build a navy in twenty- five or fifty years. He not only goes back on his principles of policy, but he disregards his specific pledges.—Peter- boro Examiner. An interesting item appears in the current number of the New Republic, a temperance paper published in Wester- ville, Ohio. "Minister Rowell" it says, "on behalf of the Ontario Government introduced into the Provincial Parlia- ment a resolution for the total abolition of the saloon in that Province"' The text of the resolution is given in full. She item is peculiar in so far as it refers to "MinisterRowell" who is said to have introduced the resolution on behalf of the Government. The actual explanation of the incident is this: Mr. Rowels has been doing such good work and has been attracting so much 1 atten- tion that the people in Ohio not knowing the facts of the case at first band, took it for granted that he was a member of the Government. They did not realize that as a matter of fact it was the Government which was really blocking the proposed Temperance Legislation and the Opposition which was advocating it. ct Multitudes of People take SCOTT'S EMULSION' regu- larly- to repair wasted vitality and enrich the blood to withstand winter colds and exposure.

The Executive Committee of the new organization met in Toronto on March 29th and immediately began to put into effect suggestions made at the Federation meeting for the extension and improvement of Liberal Clubs. The Federation meeting itself was an unqualified success. Delegates were present from all parts of Ontario, and there was apparent an enthusiastic determination to make the new move- ment count for much. The hope was expressed that through it the young men of the Province would become more interested in political questions in the Province. Hon. Mackenzie King was present to give his best wishes to the new organization. In the evening the delegates were enterained at dialer in the palatial new Ontario Club. Mr. N. W. Rowell, K. C., M. P. P., was toast- master and a number of splendid speech- es were given by young men from var- ious Clubs. LAURANT & CO. Laurent & Co carry special scenery and $10.00o.00 worth of Paraphernalia.

LIN% STOOK NE&MI I'S Toronto, March 31.—An early clear- ance was made at the Western Cattle Market this morning. Receipts were very light, including only about fifty head of cattle, a few more hogs, and as there were a fair number of drovers in attendance this supply was soon sold out, and the demand would have prov- ed equal to higher receipts, Prices ruled about steady at last week's quotations. The receipts at the Yards were three cars, containing 54 head of cattle, 02 hogs and 5 calves.
