To the It is now Colonel Otter, not Lieuten- ant-Colouel. This, we `believe, is the first instance of a Canadian being British War Oice the idea of allowing Canadians to rank on an equality with English colonels was infra dig. The `highest military grade that a Canhdian, as such, could hitherto aspire to was lieutenant-"colonel. The creation of a colonelcy for Canadians and the pro- motion of Lieut.-Col. Ctter to that ` rank will be generally approved of in ` Canada. The goal to which our mili- . tary system is tending is its entire ` separation from "British control and interference. "The promotion of Col. Otter is a step in this direction. The . process of separation may be slow, but -it is coming, and in the end it will 7 work for the best. interests of both the Mother Country and her colonies.- 'Toronto World. ` ' The recent appearance of the ladies baseball club here has caused _some re- ` ection among the thinking ones as to V what is likely to come next. A great K many will look` with disfavor upon women professionals, and we think rightly so", in thefrealm of sport. But there is not a doubt that the whole civilized human race is suffering both ' mentally and physically from the wretched physique of nine tenths - of our women at the present day. - There seems to be, in certain quarters, a false . impression that physical strength is_ synonymous - with coarseness. The sooner the absurd notion that it is fashionable and rened to bedelicate is exploded the better. In the meantime it must be admitted that `the demeanor . of the girls while on the eld was such that it might well be emulated by their 3 rivals of the sterner sex. It was a. casenof a dark horse winning 1 at the Liberal convention at Orillia last Thursday. EDITORLAL NOTES. ` Naturally, of course, Toronto Fair is once more bigger and better than over. - ` g Whether our light comes in October h or_next year it is to be hoped that it may be a square and manly one`, with an absence of that element of mud- slinging and those appeals to thelower passions of men which mar so many contests. Newspapers have much to answer forin stirring up and` keeping" alive the spirit of` petty abuse and per- sonal animosity. It `is to be hoped thatpinlour own localcontests both the platform and the press will remember that it is possible to di'er. and differ strongly, with our opponents in ya dig- nied and gentlemanly manner. The man who stoops to personal abuse and blackguard, tactics invariably weakens . his own cause and strengthens his ad- versary. Courteous treatment always` pays, and it _is our duty to demand and defend at all times mord wholesome politics. } And this not nltogetherns some-"_ times -nveg-red, because we send o_ poor of men to. Parliament. Depend upon it the main dierence between them and you is that they were smut-t` enough to get there and V you werenot. Only when the national pcnscience be- comes aroused to the ccntemptible want , of courtesy and common honesty shown by the desire to become rich at the state's expense. can we expect cleaner politics.

In England and Scotland all of these concerns are freq uently controlled by t municipal councils, yet in that country there are to be found` some curiosities of `municipal ownership. Doncaster, the _ famous St. Leger town, owns the race- course, from which it derives a revenue of about 10,000 a year. Lincoln, . Chester and Ayr, are owners at similar but less protable race tracks. ' 1 One corporation only, that of Saltash, owns its own parish church, from which, however, a revenue `is not.de- rrved, to lessen the tax rate as is the case with the race course to which reference has been made. . - us mantra.
