Ontario has in its employ over 29 sheriffs who are 70 years of age or over. One in active employ `h'a.s ~ attained the age of 90 years. It is ' proposed to superannuate these, the . lowest ann-ual allowvaince to any one person being $900.00. Why sheriffs or other public servants, who have always commanded good salaries should receive retiring pensions and honest, hard-working, la.-boring men be left to shift for themselves is be- yond our ken. There should be re- tiring pensions for all. Referring to the expense of the County, D. Quinlan, the treasurer, pointed out at Orillia. last week that so many things were now loaded on the County. The Criminal adm'inis- tration was one. Roads was an- other. The main roads were now built by the County, whereas each towns-hip did this work. The House .-.9 nprnm: nnw ent-mils an annual , question of how much the rate was, did this W0l`K. `rue nuuae - of Refuge now ent-a,~i1~s outlay of $25,000, and the Children's . Shelter $5,000 to $6,000 annually. ` The Mothers Allowances for widows , with young children was a. new bur-" den. This year it will take $45,000 for the County of Simcoe, and 50 per cent. of this would co.me from the County. It was not really a. but how efficient and judicious was the money spent. Fro-m some remarks cently by members of the nance committee of the County Council there is every prospect of a. county rate for 1922 exceeding anything -of the kind ever before struck in this county. The county officials had gured up the county s liability to the Government on good roads ac- count and While it surpassed them passed re- : they were dumibfounded a short time later when they received the bill for twice that amount. The mothers pensions are `a heavy burden on the nancial resources of the county and the contributions to high schools under the new law are going to run into many thousands of dollars an- nually. Reeve Moore stated last week after a conference with the county treasurer that he did not see how all the demands and uncontrol- able obligations could be met on a rate less than eight mills and when. everyt.hing was reckoned he would not be surprised if the rate had to be struck at 10 mil1s.-Alliston Y_`Ynv-n1r1 UU Dll Ll\ Herald. There is a clamorous and quite numerous faction among the sup- porters of the King Government in Parliament which longs .for the re- storatio-n of the spoils system. Its members crave for power to dismiss many oicials appointed to the out- side civil service since 1911 and to exercise political patronage in rt, placing them and in making pro- motions. These politioians, more- over, chafe angrily at the obstacles placed in the way out such proceed- ings by the Civil Service Act of 1918. Liberals who in their days of opposition, professed abhorrence of political patronage. are now pre- pared to endure and even to em- brace it. There has been in circula- tion during the present session a re- port that a large group of Liberal iiiembers of the House of Commons has served upon the Government in the party caucus a demand for a. re- vival of patronage in respect of ap- pointments and promotions through- out the federal civil serwice outside the departments at.

There is 21.? strong probability that such redun- tions will be delayed in order to Legislation suspending the Crosw s Nest Pass agreement, with the ex- ception of the rates on wheat and our eastlbound from the Prairie Provinces was passed in the Coin- mons on Monday. This will mean that lower rates will prevail on grain and our shipped eastward, but there is no assurance that the rate will be any lower in otiher sec- compensate the railroads for loss of revenue due to the decrease in rates on grain and our eastward, which forms a great portion of the traic handled. The legisl-atiovn was pass- ed to please the Western Progres- sives, but will be of very little bene- t to the people of the other Prov- inces. W. M. Geruian, a. stalwart Liberal, contended that the policy of the Government would cause dis- crimination, not only in Canada 2151] I. whole, but also in the Prairie Provinces themselves. He asserted that the railroads offer of reduc- tions on a. list of basic comvmodities had been withdrawn and tihatsuch reductions would be hindered by the ` fact that the eastern farmer and the manufacturers would have to make up the loss sustained by the railways through the ad-o-ption of the] Crow's Nest Pass grain and flour rates. DIVORCE COURTS FOR I ONTARIO AND QUEBEC, i applications would continue In presenting the review of the work of the Divorce Committee of the Senate for the present session, Hon. Williaiii Proudifoot, Cllillrlllan, st.rongi_v urged that action be taken next session to establish divorce courts for Ontario and Quebec. It was evident, he claimed, that divorce to in- crease, and the work was getting beyond the Senate. He also po`int~ ed out that divorce was not con- ned to the wealthy classes. and, enumerated the occupation of those applying, showed that it was more prevalent among the other classes. For the present session there had been 139 notices of intention to ap- ply for divorce, and 113 presented to the Senate. The committee heard 104 petitions, recommended 102, re- jected 2. 1 was withdrawn, and 8 were not prosecuted. Of petitions heard, 63 were from husbands and 41 from wives.

In discussing evolution as the German nation had `interpreted it Bishop Quayle said: Germany had taken up evolution as a religion, as op- posed to God, and out of that doc- trine of evolution had come the most atrocious series of barbarities the world has ever seen. I don't care to say much about evolution because it is not worth while. Per- sonally I don't care whether God made the world by evolution or by the other way. Evolution is not really irreligious, but any theory L that leaves out God is certainly against Christianity. We have got to have God.
