Proprietor; General Observations The stand taken by Premier Far. guson :that `'members of the 'Legisla- tive Assembly, having taken the re- sponsibility to represent the public, should refrain entirety from any. business with expenditure directed by; the Assembly, will commend itself to the public generally, It is necessary for the protection .of the members themselves against any suspicion of wrong doing or graft, 'Members of municipal count3ils are forbidden do- ing 'business with the council to which they belong on pain of being deprived of their seat for doing so, on the same principle. If it is wrong for themembers of the council, it is equally so for members of the As- sembly and the Premier is to' be con- gratulated on his stand. GENERAL OBSERVATIONS By W. H. T. Lovers of the British Empire are worried by the coming into being and the growth in some of the large do- minions of the Empire of sentiments which threaten to bo of a disintegrat- ing character. 'These are the semi - meats of nationalists, to .which much. expression has been given for some time past in Canada, South Africa, India and Australia, The statesmen of Britain are all at sea in regard to the Colonies, by reason' of these sentiments. There was a time when British statesmen felt that they could rely 00 the spirit of loyalty anti common devo- tion to the Empire of the British outlying possessions. But now they feel that they can do so no longer, and we may well believe that in consequence they are hampered ins the shaping of their international policies. They feel that they can no longer count upon the backing of which they were formerly so sure. The press of Britain is taking no- tice of this change in Colonial s-entii- meat. Speaking of the Premier of Canada, the Rt. Hon. William Lyon MacKenzie King, who is the ack- nowledged t dged leader in flouting the British Imperial authorities by ig- noring them in the negotiating of treaties with foreign states, and with other colonies of the British Do- minions and by passing by the Brt- ish representatives in the signing of those treaties, and who is the earnest advocate of appointing to Washing- ton a Canadian ambassador with a costly staff,—an expense for which there is no justification. Well, speak- ingof Premier King The London Morning Post says; "Mr. Mackenzie Kings spiritual 'home --as has been hinted before ---is in the bosom of Mr. William Randolph Hearst." And Very Rev, William: Ralph Inge, Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral, speaking iii England the other day, referred to this growing national sentiment in the Colonies as a feature of the tinges that is not calculated to inspire us with hope for the future of the British Empire. We are at a loss to account for the attitude of antagonism which Mr. Iiing has seen fit to assume towards the Government of Great Britain. He is a Liberal, but we are sure that in this respect he is not a true exponent of Liberal sentiment, and it is a constant wonder to us that the Liberals can put up with him. The abuses against which his ]grandfather fought have all been re- dressed, and we are persuaded that were the old gentleman alive to -day, he would be .outdone by no one in ioyalty to the British Crown. There is •ane consideration, and a comforting consideration it is, that Mr. King has not a life lease of the position 'which he now occupies with so little credit to himself, and so little profit to the country. Would Require Proof of Age. Toronto, March 16.—E. R Wigle's bill amending the Marriage Act re- ceived second reading in the House this afternoon, but indications are that in• the legal committee it will be shorn of the clause which requires those intending to commit matri- mony, to stop, look and listen for three days. The other change, calling for proof of age, met with 'approval. "It is designed to prevent, to some extent, hasty marriages," explained the member 'for Centre Huron. "It stakes it difficult for persons under 18 to obtain a license without con- sent of parents. As a rule, only one of the parties is present when ap- plication is made, and 'this ap- plicant is required to make affidavit that the other is 18, It frequently happens that the other party, the girl, is not 18, and 'in such case the issuer is deceived and the license issued without consent of the par- ents. It is almost impossible under the present act to take proceedings for perjury, 'because it is difficult to prove the applicant had knowledge that the other party was under 18. rthas come to my attention that within 10 days four marriage licenses have been issued to minors by reason of untrue affidavits and so without the necessary consent.'' "There is considerable virtue in the hill," said Premier Ferguson. "Hasty marriages may be avoided if there is time for second and sober thought, arid complication= may he avoided. There is this to be said about it, 1t in no way interferes with ac=ne of immediate license in nrrtper cased 'beta[tise the departu,ent can issue a special- license. as; has ,been done in a number of erases. The exceptions are p1'ovidetl for in tate bill.

Mr. Kelly 'tells of a case he knows of where such a oake of ice got stuck at the top of standpipe, and after the water fell. 'considerably, loosened and 'fell with such force into the water below that the standpipe was wrecked. lblr, Chas. Edwards, of Loyalist, Alta., .is spending a month with his daughter, Mrs, Chas. Thomas. On Saturday, 'Mar, 7th, 'Miss Edna Lillian Pentland, 'of Dungannon, was married to Mr. Norman Moffatt, Mrs. Harry Treleaven died at Dun•. Gannon on Mar, 3rd, aged 28 years, every safeguard." W., E. Raney criticized the three days' notice lea- titre. The • train clauses of the 'bill llow t addition t the proofs follow. I1 deli t o required in subsection 1 of section 9 of the act, at the time of the ap- plication 'for a license of certificate, there shall be produced and filed with the issuer or deputy issuer a .copy of the registration of birth of the 'other party to the ,ina'rriage certified by the registrar -,general or •other proper of- ficer h this ,behalf, or an affidavit nude by such other party to the marriage, or •by some person being a member of his or her family and Having personal knowledge of the facts, stating the age, date and place of;birth of such other Party, and the affidavit shall be in such form as may be prescribed by the provincial secretary. Every license shall be dated and every person who solemn- izes a marriage tinder the authority of such license within three clear days after the date thereof shalt be guilty of an offense and shall incur a penalty of not more titan $100." --- Free Press, HURON NEWS.
