be in connection therewith but journals or leas favorable to the Government are saying harder things than- the Opposition press Take the case from Chatham as an illustration The special to the Toronto News says In the first place the Board of Commissioners is not one that commands general con fidence This is not reassuring to say the least Then with regard to bias the writer says It seems clear that the Board was formed upon the understanding that Mr John a Liberal who keeps the Rankin House should not have his license renewed The re port goes on to say The Conservatives admit that he is a good hotelkeeper but say that bis political activities and offensive language about the Commissioners the defeated can didate and Government supporters generally is proof of his unfitness to hold a license Here is an instance that because a man does not bow down and cringe to political opponents he is to be made an example of Political free dom is to be punished and this too by a board of commissioners failing to command general confidence Could partisanship go farther Liberals point to the size of the house and the excellent way in which it is conducted says the News spe cial and yet

plan not only for Toronto Bay but for other parts of Ontario as well Carp drives away game fish and is regarded as a nui sance generally In the Mother Country where the telephone service is controlled by the Post Office Department to meet the danger- of infection lurking in tele phone mouthpieces an ingenious con trivance has been introduced called the Telephonine which provides a complete safeguard against such risks The Canadian Government should insist on the telephone com panies of Canada providing against infection also Last weeks ExpressHerald had a tirade of abuKo upon the editor

to the As sessor for stating a certain piece of property was assessed as much as its selling price when it was actually assessed at less than two- thirds A journalist capable of this kind of tergiversation and manifest ly devoid of principle as his article clearly demonstrates is not worth paying attention to Oar Society POINTS I Hon Frank Oliver the newly elect ed successor of Hon

There is no going around thf bush The case is clear and open ly admitted on all sides Political friends in Chatham condemn the course pursued- as being born of un reasonable bias the very thing the leader of the Government promised should not have place in administration of the liquor li cense act The issue is awaited with interest by the general public clean administration or domination which The Express- Herald says An era decency and fairdealing to both public and the hotelkeeper will be a pleasing change to right thinking men hut the Chatham instance does not give promise of the pleasing change in- dilated Then again there seems to be con siderable evidence of in Hamilton The Herald says Though the Commissioners say that politics had nothing to do with their actions some of the Liberals think that J was singled out because of the amount of work he did for the Liberal party Evidently all is not serene In the Ambitious City Indeed the same journal hints that the action the board was so retaliation is talked of It says Some prominent Liberals have started an agitation already to j provide him Mills a Govern ment job their scheme being to have some Conservative officebearer re leased to make room for him There must have been something the reverse of decency and fairdealing to lead prominent men to even sug gest this kind of countermovement something not calculated to inspire hopeful confidence in the pleasing change It Is quite unnecessary to pursue the subject further neith er do desire these observations to understood as applying to North York Board The Toronto Street Railway Co has paid the fine of imposed by Judge Winchester for using cars backlog up on Avenue road without protective apparatus in front Here is where the advantage of a penalty clause comes in It is a great pity Newmarket had not added a penalty clause In its agreement with the Metropolitan and it is also a pity to allow the Company to sell to any other company or

Having struck bin gait big Dan breathed words in the direction of George Taylor who he fcaid was so crooked politically that when the rain- came down straight it could not hit him the removal of the element of gain from the sale of liquors in hotels is suggested to temperance workers by Karl Grey This is scarcely feasi ble in Canada where liquors are dis pensed over the bar The Hamilton Herald seems to think that the plan of government dispensaries might result in practical good along the line desired and suggests that as Ontario municipalities now have the liberty of deciding between the license system and local prohibition of the retail traffic In liquor the same pow er might conferred of allowing electors to try the system of public dispensaries directly under govern ment control and managed by gov ernment official No doubt tills plan would wind up the treating system and banish the barroom dead beats A big municipal conference was held In Toronto on Tuesday to consider the situation between the corporation of Toronto and the Radial Railways In respect to the entrance to the city Various members of the deputation aired their views with much spirit The city however Is not so much to blame as the deputa tion would fain believe Toronto Is not prepared to throw awoy its chances of acquiring the street rail way franchise and of operating it as a public utility to the citys advan tage And who can blame them It promises to be a very valuable In the near future Reverse the situation suppose the County had the same cinch on the Radial lines that Toronto has on the street rail way would the ratepayers of York be willing without compensatloo to throw away Its advantage Not much but If the County would Join the city In securing legislation com pelling the city to open its streets while at the same time confirming Its present powers to acquire the street railway it would he a move In the right direction and only Just to To ronto Miss entertained on Wednesday evening
