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.

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.

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. ..

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.
