Toronto, April 27th, 1915.
Last week on Friday, Toronto was
-honored by a visit from Major General,
the Hon, Sam. Hughes, Minister of
Militia for the Dominion of Canada.
The 'General eame here to inspect the
troops quartered at the Exhibition
grounds. He was accompanied snr his
military staff and bis ,usual outfit.
Sam travels in State ,and, he travels all

It may be said that he Almost lives on

ordinary coach either. Sam has a couple
of private ears, whkh are gorgeously
furnished -and provisioned and attend-
ed by quite a retinue of clerks, as-
sistants, nervante and flunkeys of vari-
ous kinds. It will require no little share
of the one hundred million war igrant
to liquidate Sam's official car and tra-
velling expenses. Sam delights in glory
and show. He mut be in ithe lime light
or die. A cocked hat, gold (braid, mil-
itary boots and big spurs is what Sam
delights in andalivea for. It is said by
ithose in a position to know that he is a
good soldier but a mighty poor De-

When the new liquor license com-
mission commences work on May 5th,
it will find itself shorn of some of
its extensive powers. The clause in the
original act (clause 12) giving ft ."all
_powers heretofore belonging to. or ex-
ercisable by the minister under the
Liquor License act, shall be vested
and be (exercised by the board, subject
to any regulations made by the lieu-
tenant-gOvernor-in-council," -does not
appear hi the proclamation, and will
not, 'therefore, be effective. It means
that the commission will have no con-
trol over the granting of licenses to
breweries, distillers, or wholesalers, or
over the five per cent. bar proceeds.
The minister will retain the might ,also
to veto any license that has teen grant-
ed. S do not iknow that this -isaregret-
able. Tbe new commission may be com-
posed of very able and very honest
men. But 'let thetn be ever so able and
honest, they are -at best but human.
It is never -safe to investman. with too
much unchecked authority independent-
ly of the people and their repre.senta-
tives. He is sure to become arbitrary
and despotic. We do not twant _Kaiser -
ism in this province. No matter what
powers may be given the Commissioners
it would never tdo to absolve the Gov-
ernment from responsibility for their
actions as that would be removing ,the
authority from the peeple through their
representatives and placing.it Le an ir-
responsible and independent oligarchy
which would be entirely at varien.ce
with our system of .Government. It
Iwould also furnish the Government
with an excuse to take shelter behind
the comznission. It is just as well'
therefore, that it be understood that
the main responsibility rets andtmust
rest with the Government. But this
just goes to prove the 'absurdity et
the contention that the licensing busi-
ness can or should be removed from the
realm of politics.

The jitney is causing anguish to
holdcrs of tramway stocke in Ontario..
It has appeared in Toronto, In Ottawa
and in other cities and is (doing what
looks like a profitable business. The
jitney is an 'automobile operated on a
regular route and carrying passengers
at five cents per passenger. Rumors,
from Winnipeg are that the jitney
there has made serioes inroads upon
the earnings tof the ,street railway.
In . Toronto it has been the custom foe
many •years to lrefer to the street rail-
way hi derms of sulphenic'Opprobrium.
The feelings of Toronto citisens have
found expression in a sort of a:la-ran of
hate, directed against the street rail-
way, its service, management and own-
ership. Visitor from other places have
activity which has prevailed ever since
the 'war began. ,The training of 'troops
for the third contingent will proceed

ment to h ve a force of 50,000 men

as °this .number Is reduced by the peri-
odical dispatch of reinforcements more
recruiting will take place to make up
the 50,000. liThis will be the rule at
the camp Which is to be established
at Niagara .
While the Niagara camp is In pro-
gress the eithibition buildings here will

samples of the guns and munitions

far as the shells are concerned, and the

The Brave Canadians
In the great battle of Ypres fought
between the German hosts and the .A1 -
lied forces on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday last, the Canadian regiments
took a conspicuous part and they seem
to have done themselves and their
country credit .as every person in Can-
ada expected they would 'do. Their
achievements may be judged from the
following comments , by the British
Press:
The London Morning Post says:
"This battle is unique as being the
first great event of the kind an the
history of Canada, for Canadian troope
can claim it as their own, and the
glory of it,"
The Daily Mail says: "The deed of
the Canadian troops will thrill the
heart of the Motherland with love and
pride. The Canadians advanced with
magnifkient steadiness, thougn they
are new troops, and have only.recently
'received their baptLsm of fire. Facing
grievous loeses, they retook' the guns,
and saved the situation for the time
being.
"No words can express, the gratitude
of the British nation to .the.great
Do-
mfnioi for this valour of her sons
a
The world over, ,the Empire is re-
joicing that eur troops have done so
magoificiently. We thank God that the
men of the Dominion have written iguch
a chapter in Imperial history. We
thank God for the manhood they nits -
played. We wait sadly for the casualty
lists, but even in that sadness Is the
great knowledge that the men who
died have died nobly in the world's
greatest struggle for civilization. They
have died opposing their might to that
of the, mightiest military machine of
all ages, and have died victorious. t
The Colborne 'Murder
Colborne Township was thrown into
consternation last Sunday +night by one
of the most dastardly and inexplicable
murders heard of in recent years, when
Robert Bean, a reputable farmer, was
shot down RB he drove along the high-
way. Mr. Beau, who waS some. 66 years
of age, had been out to a friend's some
few miles away, and was returning
about eleven at night, when apparently
some person or persons, who had lain
in ambush along the road, _ran up be-
hind the buggy and fired a charge
from a shotgun at hint. This shot ap-
parently went wide, as a neighbor
heard the old man say: "What be you
doing that forl" Then another report
was heard, and by the time a passerby
had come up the oldgman lay dead on,
the road. The charge had been from a
snotgun and fired at Rich close trange
that the clothing was badly scorched,
and part of the cartridge wad had
lodged in the flesh. The charge went
in through the back and came out at
the left breast.
The affair took place in front of
Col. Varcoe's farm, on the road lead-
ing from Dunlop to Smith's Hill, and
was but a short distance west of the
Colonel's hawse. It wag Bert Varcot,
one of the ColOners Stills, who in do-
ing the late chores back at the barn
heard the unfortunate man call out,
and although he and his father were
qulckly on the scene they Sew no trace
of the murderer. The horse had broken
tnom the buggy, and afterwards ,macie
1t-3 'way. home.
The deed had been carefully planned,
as in front of the Varcoe property
stand some large willow trees over-
hanging the toad, which would serve
to conceal the murder until his prey
was just passing. The theory advancea
is that the prepetrator knew the old
man would be returning that way, and
as he passed stepped out and ffred a
shot, and While 'this went wide the old
man, startled by the attack, did not
try to escape, but apparently stopped
to wok about, when the second shot
was fired, with fatal results.
Corner 'Hunter of Goderich, was im-
mediately notified, and he, with Crown
Attorney Seeger and Chief Postleth-
waite, were on the scene in half an
hour. They immediately proceeded with
a hasty search, but without result, In-
spector Reburn of Torcmto was sentein
response to an appeal for Provincial as-
sistance, and while he and the county
police have been working on the affair,
at the present writing they have found
no clue to the mystery.
The deceased had a family of three
sons living with him, and three daugh-
ters married in the locality, but ;while
all have been -questioned as to a pos-
sible motive for the crime none seems
able to offer any explanation.
A careful search of the scene revealed
an empty cartridge shell about 100
feet west a where the old man was
found, and a second one about 160_feet
east, as though the first thadebeen fex-
tricated and thrown aside, but the sec-
ond one taken from the ,gun and drop-
ped to the toad as the murderer ran
east along the road. Robbery was seem-
InglY not the motive for the crime,
as isfr. Bean's money and watch were
found on the body.
While in putsuance of their search
for -evidence in the murder case the
county police arrested Arthur W. Mar-
tiat at the home of James Glenn, near-
by, on a charge of stealing $100 in
Detroit a few days ago. Be was (taken
,into custody and lodged in the .jall
pending extradition proceedings.
