B Oenerai Observations "THE STORM" surely did hit Segiortit this week es forecasted in bite last two issues of the News, • `i'hefailure of the Steel. Corpora- 8solu is only another wanting of the dolly of Investing in. joint stock coin sanies, tialess you hold stock enough 3o coutrol its operation, If you do not, you are making a donation to the ,company instead of buying its shares, ae a A 'certain Dr. McGregor brings a very severe indictment against the newspapers for telling the truth in • givingthe news to the public and says crimes, murder and wickedness' should not be reported. This is per- haps the first intimation to the public of that "great clerical charity" that is sP a adept in"covering a multitude of sins" when preaching funeral ser- mons. No odds, how many crimes a man may commit, his funeral sermon and the epitaph on his tooth, hide alike his shortcomings. i� As an evidence of how much the so-called Ratepayers' Association is out of touch with the real sentiment of the public in school matters, was shown in the House in Toronto last week, When discussing the :notion of Mr. Casselman to postpone the Adolescent Act, the minister of edu- cation said he had a resolution from the Association in Huron in favor of the act, He was followed by Mr. Hicks, the member for South Huron, who said he had resolutions from -every Board but one in his riding op- posed to the act. No doubt, Mr. Hicks has his ear to the ground. ra Dr. J. M. Field, I.P.S. for East Huron, has issued a long statement on consolidated schools as he found them in the state of Iowa, on a re- cent visit there, This is his statement regarding the cost of consolidated schools in Iowa, "The average cost per acre in those sections served by consoli- dated schools in Iowa, is only eighty-seven emits per annum." "Only" 87 cents an acre means $87 on one hundred acres or $174 on two hundred acres. As the taxes on the average run between $100 and $200 on farms in Huron county, it will be seen that consolidated schools would probably raise taxes considerably wherever they are adopted. The school sections at Walton recently decided not to adopt consolidated schools at present, and in view of these figures, it would seem they act- ed wisely j. $$ GENERAL OBSERVATIONS I By W. H. T. #$ HOLY THURSDAY.„ To -morrow -Good Friday—com- memorating the tragic scene on Cal- vary, when the Lord Jesus Christ "who Was delivered for our offenses, and raised again for our justification," suffered that cruel death upon the cross. How sad the scinel and yet that necessary sacrifice purchased far us the pardon ,e f our sins, the re- generation of our nature by the Holy Spirit, and the inheritance f he eternal joys of heaven: all confirmed to us by the resurrection of ur Blessed Lord on the third day, which we joyfully celebrate on Easter Sun- day. These` doctrines are held by all Christians, and when we consider this fact. we wander why there should be the distipetions of Catholic aid Pr, - testant, May the time, and it can- not come too soon, when these great divisions in the Christian Church shall cease to be. The writer wonders if he is writing in too religious a strain for a secu- lar newspaper. i': 4 Spring is here. in name at least, if not in Spirit and in temperature, This is the seas.:0 when, according to the poet, the young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. It is the season, too. when the puenalal epieng poet. like the toad and saint other forms of animal Life, wake up from the lethargy of wiin a. and pours ant his full soul in verse of greater or less (,often less, we fear), excellence, to tltc trial and tribula- tion of pttbltsher>s. Whether the doc- trine of the final perseverance f the saints be true or not, we shall not 'at- tempt now to determine; but Certain ly if the saints be as "r,:e:^^ering as ,172 spring poet, we cannot see how ;hey can ;possibly fail. The spring ,poet springs tip despite all efforts to keep him down.: He is as persistent and as hard to eradicate es bindweed. This being the case, we simply have got to pet up with. hint. And yet, to be exact about the fact, in the multi, tttde' of his outpoulings, a gem of thought is sometimes found, and as one correct guess In a hundred is the making of a weather prophet, so these occasional gems constitute the "rail- ou d'etre" of the spring poet. •*a We are glad to ,see that the Pro- vincial and Dotninion parliaments are going to close this week until after Easter. This will give the members an opportunity to rest and recuperate after their strenuous and ill -requited labors forthe public good. .. CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 3O Years Always bears the [%y Signature of'''‘f747-44 The Hydro Probe. H. P. Hill, (Con., Ottawa4Vest ), the other dayadvised the Govern- ment to either "fire Beck or quit yap- ping at him." The reference to the biased nature of the Gregoryhydro investigating commission, and to minor outcroppings from time to time of anti -hydro and anti -Beck feeling in the Cabinet. W. F. Nickle, (Con., Kingston) had a spirited reference to the situation, in connecton with his address on the budget. "I wonder if the Government stops to consider the great .personality at whose heels they are everlastingly snapping. I hold no brief for Beck. He does not need me. But I do re- member in the early days of hydro development how he fought in this House and country the battle of the people. I remember the indomitable perseverance. the pluck and pertinac- ity with which he stuck to his task in the face of obstacles that seemed insurmountable. I have no knowledge of the detailed working of the hydro commission, but I do say this, that it I were responsible for the govern- ment of this province, I think I could devise a way of conducting that in- vestigation so that the Government Would have the information without jeopardizing a scheme in which we have millions and millions of our Money, and which must be carried to success if the financial condition of this province is to be safe. If they break this man's spirit for public ser- vice or bring financial ruin on this great project, I say, Mr. Speaker, this government will be to blame, and, not the commissions that are creepers be- tween it and the public" Subsequently, Major Alex. Lewis, of Toronto, has given notice of mo- tion in the House to terminate the hearings of the Gregory commission as unprofitable and costly. Hanna's Shoes Unfilled. The late W. J. Hanna, when pro- vincial secretary of Ontario, inaugur- ated a new state of affairs in rela- tion to the public institutions of the province, His name will ever be as- sociated with the improved condition of the public charges in such places, and particularly with the establish- ment of prison farms and the honor system. At bottom of it all was a humanitarian point of view on the part of the minister, a great-hearted man who was at the same time a ful- ls, capable administrator. Capt. J, E. Thompson expressed the view in the Legislature recently that Hanna's great work is not beiug kept up by the department under the present pro- vincial secretary. W. F. Nickle, K,C., without being unpleasantly per- sonal, said something to the same ef- fect in his speech on the budget. Hon. H. C. Nixon,' the provincial secre- tary, made his speech on Thursday night, and most people will agree that hs contents and presentation bear out what Opposition members have charged. The humanitarian touch is missing. The minister is proud of the fact that municipal clerks, replacing other issuers of marriage licenses, have brought the province $17,0000 extra, be cause they accept a smaller fee. ide told the House all about a building built by prison labor at low cost to the province. But on the reclamation of husnan lives and the betterment of institutional conditions, there was less emphasis. It is true the mitis - ter read some newspaper clippings quoting people who commended con- ditions at various institutions. After four years, he is not able, seemingly, to speak from intimate personal knowledge. No wonder Mr. Nickle said: "For some reason W. J. Han- na's spirit is becoming a spent force. The frontiers of social advancement have just about been reached insofar as the impetus of his movement will carry them. The late Mr. Hanna was a rare man, with a gift of genius, and he who now occupies the chair does not seem to have the capacity, either by himself or through his advisers to l carry on the work," Slight the Returned Soldiers.
