TORONTO Daily News is after the gamb.
ling reeorte in that looelity and is
stirring np the officials with a sharp
stick. The midnight hour finds many
gaartette seated at the gaming table and
not infrequently, even in some of the.
wall kept hotels, gneete in adjoining
rooms are sometimes kept from sleeping
by the gemblers.as they fritter away good
money. to the a000mpaniment of !ignore
and cigars.
GEOGRAPHY ban come prominently to.
the front in the past few weeks and a
number of the daily papers are dosing
their readers with a oolamn ae a time in
seeking Pease for complaint against tbe
Ontario Government. How strange that
tide babyish oritioiem only Props up
when an election is nigh at band. The
electors read history as well as geography
and will probably work it along with a
little arithmetic when polling day looms
np and they are asked to mark their bal.
lot.
Fon some little time the Mayor. and
Ohl$ of Police in Ottawa have been at
onto, the fan aommenoing by the former
palling the latter to book for nob doing bis
duty. To get even with the ocaupaut ot
the civic chairthe Chief of Police iaid
information against Mayor Morrie for
buying liquor during prohibited hours at
a hotel. The Mayor plead guilty and
wee fined $5.00 but in addition be is
dirgaalilied from hie office for a period of
two years. He wag a popular candidate
last year and the turn in the tide of
affairs shows two pointe clearly, viz :
that for revenge some men will leave no
atone unturned ; secondly, tbat if all
people in authority were ae alert in en-
toning
m€oroing law at all times ae when they take
"!spells" many who now hold high oar.
nivel would be in the "soap." Mayor
Morrie will have time now to ruminate
on license laws, &o.
Hoo pursuit of the Boers is on Lord
Kitchener's program. The system of
block -hooses with watch doge at inter-
vening pointe appeare to be giving fairly
good satisfaction but the enemy is very
persistent and mobile so that the British
forces are kept on the move. Probably
no feature ie more apparent in the war
than the treachery of many of those wbo
professedly surrendered. The lose of
life since the straggle oommenoed has
been something enormous and the feed.
ing and caring for of the thousands of
Boer prisoners in the hands of the Britieh
is no small ohore.
IT is often cheaper to stay at home than
to go pleaenriag. The estimated expense
ot the recent trip of the Duke and Duch-
ess of Cornwall, now the Prince and
Prinoese of Wales, is the neat little sum
of from £600,000 to £700,000, the Dost of
the Ophir being some £80,000 of the
amount. $800,000 to $350,000 is a pile of
money for one tour. Many people would
consider they were having a sweeping time
with $30, and not a few "go it while they're
young" on from $3.00 to $3.50. We guess
that "It's better to be born leaky than
rich" ie only partially true bet a oom-
binetion of the two meat make it very
plea. int going, for a while at least.
HOW TO REDUCE TOWN
• TAXES.
To the l,dttor of Tse POST
Dean Sia, -This ie the tax paying time
and as every ratepayer pate up the prioe
he either outwardly says what he tbinke
about the tax rate or inwardly turne over
many plane that might reduce his taxes,
if adopted. I take the liberty of making
a few suggestions ae to how I think a out
off oonld be snared without interfering
with eficieney of menagereent in any
way. With the abandonment of wooden
sidewalks and the doing away with the
necessity of repairs, on which I have
known a man to spend a good part of the
Summer, and being owners of a white
elephant road machine to da the grading
and ditobiag a good deal of the labor
performed by the town employee no
longer mists thus giving him time to de-
vote to other work. My proposal is, if
euoh an ofiioer ie a necessity, to have the
town caretaker appointed weigbmaeter of
the town nein, se this duty would not
interfere with hie other work owing to
stook being shipped in the morning. In
addition it I were a Councillor I would
move to make the same official Collector
of taxes. This job comes along when
gravelling and other work ie through and
if the Oooetable could do it the town
would be ahead 940 or 950 a year. I
don't know what there is in the weigh
scales but there must be a fairly good
revenue, even after the party renting
them pays the Treasurer what be bid for
them. Some people I beard tacking over
this question tbiok if the Fire Engine
end Town Hall were looked- after and the
bell rang by somebody near by that the
balk of the salary paid to the town Care-
taker could be saved, especially as so few
entertainmeate are bold in the Hall but
I would rather see the plen I propose
tried for a year and if it did not work
oat fairly satiefaotory to the good of
Braesele it °Quid be dropped and some
other adopted. Somebody should ask the
candidates on Nomiaabiou day what they
think about plane for easing op the rate•
payer's pocket for next year. I have
some other tbinge 1 want to tell yon
about too but think thie letter ie already
tong enough but by writing it I may stir
up others to give their views.
Yours far the taxpayer,
Economy.

We regret the resignation of our Noble

promising brother, who, while in the
chair, bald gentle away, and was kind and
genial to all. Bro. Lambie wee one of
our best posted members in the ritual, he

for a considerable time. He has gone to
Toronto to take a college course, hie post
being filled eery efficiently by Brother
W. 0. Smith, who is a P. G., a good
worker, and well posted in the work," _
Under the above heading the following
notes are given in the November number
of the Independent Oddfellow, the organ

We are indebted to a member of West-
ern Star Lodge, Brussels, signing himself
A. G., for an interesting letter received

yearly report gotten oat by the lodge -
The brother tells us that the lodge is
preparing for a good season's work, now
that the warm weather, the fall shows
and the Duke's visit are things of the past.
He reporte a visit to the lodge of Bro., A.
Boss, an old member, now of Ottawa,
and the removal to Toronto of Bro. F.
Lambie, to attend tbe Veterinary College.
The report of Western Star shows the
lodge to be in a prosperous condition.
The membership at the beginning of the
term was 85, a gain of four during the
first half of the year. The lodge has 17

cleaver to increase our membership, to
make our etey, while in the lodge room,

Bro. Jones, our worthy Vice Grand was
down to the Pity to see the Duke and
Dunham, and came home delighted with
what he saw and heard, and at ,our next

That's ail.
A few ottizene learned that tbe trip
WAS to be made and of course, out of mere
curiosity, went down to the station and
"took 1t in," some because it was novel,
and some perhaps beoauee it didn't ooet
anything. A. F. MoLaren, M. P., P. W.
Stanhope and Gilbert MoKeohnie, Direc-
tors of the Company, were on board,
which, of ooaree, geve dignity to the
