With the nee of a better class of driving horses, lighter bnggtee, bicycles and automobiles the tax payers are demanding greater attention to the roadways so that it appears quite opportnue for the Government to rifer a million dollars as an inducement to this Province to make a vigorous 'hurt to at - twin a greater degree of uniformity and permanency instead of following, in many ingenue, a badly planned and worse worked eystem of 'Statute labor. The trend of public opiuioo is to aboiieh the old system by commutation or otherwise and formulate more approved methods to meet the exigencies of the times. We can't stand still is this matter any more then in many others and retain efficiency. There are ecaree of manioipalitiee that have done away with statute labor and we have not yet heard of one of them re• turning to it, as a fair trial appears to convince the municipal authorities of the advantages of modern methods. OFTONTI3nIS people in the ordinary waike of life cost envious eyes toward persons in the more nubile ranks but pee - ably if we knew all we would not be anxious nor yet begrudge them their posi- tion. The loftier the position, tbegreater the responsibility and this very strenuous life soon burns out life's taper in many instances before scarcely the allotted span has been attained. Proof of this ie not wanting in the history of the eaddeo de- mise of Jndgee, clergymen and bnaineee men who live at high mental pressure and often pay Nature'' debt on very short notice.

Although of an advanced age, hie step was so elastic and bis die position so buoyant that several years of happy Life might have been anticipated for him. But the grim reaper intervened, and the max who was above all others rooked upon as the sound lawyer and the impartial Judge has gone to his last re. ward. Sir. Justice Mille wee a moo of many parts.
