Sir Oliver Mowat, the aged lieutenant - governor of Ontario, met with an accident a few days ago that will pre- vent hie appearance at theopening of the next session of the Ontario legis- lature. His injuries, while not very serious, yet at his advanced age will incapacitate him from any public duty for some time. Sir Oliver will receive from men of both political parties the deepest sympathy in his misfortune. For almost a half century his bee been a prominent figure in the legislative hullo of the province. He first entered political life away back in 1857 and ever since has bleu a prominent figure. His active career was unbroken by defeats. He was a member of Hon. George Brown's cabinet, which existed for a Bingle day, He was a prominent advocate of tha confederation of 1867, and for nearly 80 years was the head of the Liberal government of Ontario. His term as premier of Cauada'e moat populous province has no parallel in constitutional history. During all that period he showed himself a statesman of the constructive type, progressive and cautious. The statutes of the province will be a monument to hie legislative ability for many years to come. In 1898 Sir Oliver left the arena of provincial politics and joined Sir Wilfrid Laurier. He aesumed the portfolio of minister of justice, but remained in once only lung enough to see the new government well under way. He went to Toronto as Houten- ant-governor in 1897, and is at present iu his second term. Few Dublin men who were contem- porary with Sir Oliver when ha began his public life remain today, and this fact emphasises the seryices he has rendered to the country and to the province. He has proven an eminently successful lieutenant -governor. It is the prayer of all Canadians that his life may long be spited.

The Kincardine Review, edited by Major Hugh Clark, the Conservative candidate in Centre Bruce, whose elec- tion was voided, makes the following comments on the campaign and Ontario politico in general: "The campaign in Centre Bruce was as clean a campaign es was ever waged. The petition would have gone to trial long ago if the election had been other- wiso. It was among the first filed ; it was the last to go to trial. A govern- ment detective and several machine lawyers scoured the riding looking up evidence, We are in possession of facts which show that inducetnente were held out to witnesses to swear falsely and that they were schooled to give the bort of evidence required. The election was voided on evidence that four supporters of ns-. Stewart had got liquor from a life -lung Liberal who had turned spinet the government It few weeks before the election because his liquor license had been taken from him and given to a wealthier Liberal. Agency was established by the respondent's admission that he had heard that McClure was working for him, but that although he had mat him afterwards he had not checked or chided him for it, "The Ontario Controverted Act is now nothing but a weapon used by the political parties for political warfare. The parties go on the assumption that any election can be voided. Therefore proteste are entered before there is any evidence of corrupt practices. The clean ones go to trial; the dirty ones are sawed off. If one man's election has been corrupt he can usually find another man on the other side in the same position, and both anxious to saw -off. The party mauagera, anxious to avoid disclosures, do the rest. Only clean elections or elections in close ridings are allowed to go before the courts, The Centre Bruce election did not go to the courts because it was corrupt, but because the majority was small," Canadians, and evidently created a most favorable impression, The Sen- tinel -Review, in commenting on his speech, gays: "Such addressee as that which he delivered cannot help proving of the greatest value in broadening Canadian ideals end bringing about increased national unity. The people of every pert of the Dominion should be brought se far air possible to appreciate the standpoint al those who may differ from them perhaps in language or in race, but are one with them in regard- ing Canada as their home and the object of their fondest hopes. Visite such as this paid by the public men of one province to the people of another will do much to dispose of the spirit of sectionalism," Properly prepares students far good pow Gone ipuo0I by Mail in book.keepwg, Shorthand, NMI/31011111p, etc., are Given rd those who earth it attend our wins-:.

Hwa• etas, a..conD111, 48 —For many years the Canadian government has tried to preserve a close season for fish in the Canadian half of the international waters, and the result has been that Uncle Sam has played sharp on it, hie people working away fishing while our fishermen were forbidden to hang out a net. That sort of thing couldn't go on forever, and after using all reaeonable means to arrive at an understanding the Canadian department hair told our fishermen to go ahead. The fish may be destroyed, but if so Caladium will have a share while they last, —Aid. 0. B, Sheppard, of Toronto, is quoted as saying: "Municipalities should be placed in a position to take over any public enterprise at a reason- able valuation without reference to the worth of the franchise itself, No per- manent rights should be granted to cor- porations of any kind, because no one can foreee what contingencies may arise," The disposition of legislatures to dispose of civic franchises ie creat- ing a feeling of resentment which is finding vent in such expressions as those of Ald. Sheppard, and is giving strength to the demand for municipal ownership. —Hon. David Wark, in his 100th l ear, expects to go next month from his home et Fredericton, New Bruns- wick, to Ottawa, where, in the senate of Canada, he will take the seat he has continuously held lines that body was first called together at the making of the Dominion in 1867. And unless the weight of the last year added W his burden of years has greatly changed him, he will take an active part in the proceedings. He was a big man in his prime. Slightly above the average height, he was 70 years ago a burly, bread, straight -standing, solid, mus• cuter type of vigorous country -bred manhood ; red of hair and beard, ruddy of lace, and strong of voice. Now he le stooped almost to the level of childhood, his cheeks have sunken, and his kneee, losing their sturdiness, carry the still massive frame haltingly. —Some of the Tories in the constitu- ency of Manitoulin want their repre- sentative, Mr, R. It, Gamey, to resign because he has intimated that he will take an independent stand in the legis- lature and occasionally support the Ross government. At a meeting of the exeoutive of the Manitoulin Conserva- tive aseociation at Gore Bay on Mon- day, Mr. Gamey contended that his duty wee to his constituency first, and that he had only done what he con- sidered in the beet interests of his con- stituency. Ile particularly asked them to suspend judgment for the present. He also expressed an opinion that the executive SitRil no power to ask him to resign, and said that he would be pleased to have a convention called and abide by their decision, as he knew from lettere and interviews the great majority of the people were well satire fled with bis recent action.
