The political consequences of such increases must beaccepted by the .Govern- T ment that will be held respons-, .ible`for the increases.

I Keep Reputation Secure A great man can die well when his reputationis secure. You can write my life across the sky, said Chas. H. Spurgeon in his dyi- inghour. I have nothing to lhide! John Ruskin ' ` affirmed that he had never written a letter which he would not be willing to haveread before the whole world. To these two splendid utterances we would add the Words of Sir_. Walter Scott: I have been, per-f haps, the most voluminous au- thor of the day, and it is a com-I fort to me to think that I have? tried. to unsettle no man s faith, to corrupt no man s principles, and that I have written nothing: which, on my deathbed, I should wish blotted out.
