Both pa ties will put energy enough into
the fight. They are fired with the spirit
that scents al 41ose conteet. The province is
not like fanitoba and British Columbia,
which are already won for the Tories, nor
does it re emble New Beunswick, which is
already won for the Grits. Nova Scotia
presents more of a fair field and a good get
away. The Government will probably come
out of the battle four or five constituencies
to the good, but it will be a hard earned
victory. -

THE HOLD-UP GA3IE,
As Minister of Finance in the Laurier
G vernment, W. 'S. Fielding has been con-
ce ed the qualities which commend him to
the peoplo of Nova Scotia. Not once has
hio strict honesty of purpose been assailed.
Ii j no instance has he embarrassed his
le der. A steady, hard-working, unassum-
in , able administrator, Fielding has
t(wed himself as a member of the Laurier
imminent. Here in Halifax his praises
ar in every Liberal's mouth. A fine,des-
ti y has been arranged for 'him by enthus-
ia tic friends. When Sir Wilfrid Laurier
a andons the Premiership of Canada, they
eas it is W. S. Fielding who will take his
pl: ce. This must be regarded as highly
p emature, the more so as the country may
a o union Laurier before he is ready to aban•
thn his august title. This much is fairly
ce tain though. If when Sir Wilfrid Laur•
ie is no longer leader the Liberal party
sh uld be in power, Fielding would be the
fa orite for the prize. The possibility of
L urier becoming a law lord in the near
fu ure brought the question of Sir Wilfrid'e
a comer into prominence among the Litt-
er 1 art at Ottawa. Fielding was un-
questiona ly the party's choice. This feel-
ing amounting to almost a certainty with
N va Scotian Liberals, gives the Govern
-
m at patty no inconsiderable strength.
F elding'S personality, his provincial record,
hi succees at Ottawa, will be lively factors
in the approaching contest. He will have
t e active assistance of George Murray,
P emier of the province, 4 man of great
p pularity. A strong pair Conservatives
a mit, and it will be surprising if they are
n t able to hold .down the enemy to the
ei ht seats which now constitute the Oppo-
si ion's possessions in Nova Scotia.
—Miss Bertha Kerr, a pretty young lady
of Toronto, has entered suit to restrain
Ernest J. Rowley from " circulating her
photograph as an advertising medium,' and
from " making, printing, publishing or sol!.
itg copies of it, either for the defendant's
nefit or for that of another." Mr. Row-
/ey, who is a Spadini). avenue photographer,
recently took a picture of the plaintiff, who
consented to it being displayed in his store
window and at the Industrial Exhibition,
She alleges, however, that without her con-
sent, he furnished copies of the print to
Jackson K. Little, druggist," of Spadina
avenue, who used it for advertising pur-
poses. For this Miss Kerr asks damages
from Mr. Rowley, the amount to be fixed
by the jury.

ticular examination for which he was a can-
didate, the certificate or statement of marks

ful "unior leaving candidate w11 certify to
