weet was not only a very social oc casion but one of the most practical in the history of Association The membership has now grown to nearly publishers in Ontario and the constitution was so amended that the Associations of other Provinces may affiliate and thus constitute the Canadian Press Association in fact as well as name At the Press Banquet on Thursday eveninc over attended about of whom were ladies A notable fea ture was the entire absence of liquors and tobacco a worthy the press to set in the metro politan city of rhe Province Prof Smith and Hon Speaker Sutherland were the principal speak ers on the occasion and they duly exalted the importance of the press as a factor in moulding public opin ion and the responsibility of being fair in all political discussions The toasts were drank with hot coffee and cold water and the speeches were in terspersed with selections by some of Torontos best male vocalists The banquet was served in best style and was throughout a complete success A very fitting termination to the two days session of the Association was the Excursion to last Saturday through the courtesy of the Grand Trunk Railway under the personal charge of Mr J McDon ald District Passenger Agent and reception given by the Royal City There about in the party including some ladies and on ar riving at street cars were at their disposal conveying quests to the Ontario Agricultur al College where day was spent in inspecting nearly every department on the farm and many members of the Fourth Estate were greatly Sur prised at the extent and value of the work done At each depart ment the superintendent in charge gave a brief address explaining the nature and result of their particular operations which was very gratifying from both a Provincial and individual standpoint But the climax was reached at the McDonald Institute where the young ladies who are in attendance served a substantial luncheon in a charming manner which had also been prepared by them It was here where President extended a welcome to the Associa tion in a very cordial address Mr Downey editor of the Herald in an eloquent speech pro posed the health of the press which was replied to by the President of the Association Mr of the Toronto News Mr Clark of To ronto Saturday Night and Mr P P of the Kingston Mr MPP of the Kingston Whig each in turn giving great praise to the young ladies and the College officials in general What the Agricultural College for Farmers boys the McDonald In stitute does or the girls thoroughly equips them for the duties of life and in President the Col lege has a man not only thoroughly qualified but peculiarly adapted to the position vO Hot Hes Gone A special to the Hamilton Her ald from Toronto furnishes tbe read ers of that journal a few pointers as to true inwardness for Dr translation from the arena of the Legislature and its emoluments for there is very little credence placed in the failing health story especially in view of the ad ditional responsibility the registrar- ship of West Toronto involves The special goes on to say one is to believe what is being circulated in the inner circles of the Conservative party the real reason of Dr retirement iB that be is fi nancially busted His ventures It appears in connection with several business enterprises have not proven a blooming success the failure of the Dominion linen mills at Increased bib financial difficul ties If these allegations are true one can readily understand his desire to accept a position worth from to leooo a year but there is another fea ture connected with this political and this is the way the Her ald special presents the case Then its an HI wind that blows nobody good To tbe words of a Whitney is tickled to death to get doctor out of the way That he has been a thorn In the flesh of the premier particularly blnce the Whitney government formed his been generally admit ted and were evidences that bis opposition strength was devel oping It Is probably true that the recent In the situation In Toronto would never have taken place had it not for Dr Seattle aggrts- campaign in the interests of at of workers In brief ho a disturbing quan tity and the Conservative party generally will not be that has departed from the arena where he was a disin tegrating Influence Society The Hamilton Herald alludes to it in this quaint way But who would suspected that Dr was a quitter Echo answers who gave tea It likely that Hon Mr Attorneyxeneral will at coming session of the Legislature introduce a measure making it an offence to grant rebates in life insurance I On Tuesday last three elections to the Commons took place when two Liberals and one Conservative were returned viz Lib eral for West Liberal for Saskatchewan and Conservative for Sberbrooxe Que The mania for adopting extreme- measures is on the increase An edi tor in Western Ontario suggests that a scribe on a cotemporary journal should be given a dose of rough-on- by its general manager or something to settle him for all time Why not give him a This is the latest This is what the Record has the courage to say There are too many lawyer legislators They are making laws to bring grist to their own mill Many of the stat utes are fearful and wonderful pro ductions Some day Canada have- less law and more common sense The byeelection for North Toronto to Ontario House to fill the va cancy occasioned by the retirement of Dr to become registrar of West Toronto will take place imme diately Nomination has been fixed for the and polling one week later
