EDITORIAL NOTES
1 In the first fifteen months of office
the Borden Government has dismissed
no less. than 1,170 Postmasters and 121
Postal Department employees. 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.

LIBERAL CLUB FEDERATION
The aggressive, attractive policy of
development and expansion is to be
the rule for the new Liberal Club Feder-
ation of Ontario formed in Toronto
with great success on M arc h
24th. 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.

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.
