It consisted of a lew words of caution to the gra- duates on whom be pressed the neces. sity of loyalty to God, which, he said, wis not so strong as it used to be. That they feared man so little be cause they feared God so much, he hoped they would always be able to say. That is' a guality which the pres ent age demands.

But he ro garded himself as an exception Queen's, he said had become one of the most foremost universities in the country, and of its graduates he had abundant opportunity to see their worth: Referring to the question of university matriculation, Mr Seath wnid the standard was too low, and the effect of it was easily seen in the schools, for: it prevented a high achol arship. Rev. Prof, Hart, of Manitoba el: lege, Winnipeg, was unable to be pro sent to personally receive the honor- ary. degree of D.D. He was referred to by Rev, Dr. Ross, as a man who for thirty years hud labored in the canse of edneation, and impress on the north-west. Rev. Prof, Clark, of Trinity univer sity, also received the D.D. degree, He has been spending the past few davs in Kingston, and is highly regarded at Queen's. Prof. Clarke, addressed the graduates briefly, He had remain. od at Trinity for twenty years, refus ing many offers of better pay.

He has been fine aid to Kingston's development. Keep cool. build wp Ontario! Ross" and progress ! Ross says "'Buile up Ontario." The whole province is wilh us. The trouble is the tories want "change." ! Yoang man: Unless your name is on the list you cannot vote. Ross and Pense! Now there's a team jor you. Let the pair win. Lull "News {(Ind.):° The hberal adminitiration has been a progressive one, few will deny. Hon, G. W. Ross has infused enter- prise and energy into the control of provincial affairs since the day he ac- cepted the leadership. "I am for Pense," said a conserva- tive, "and because of the work he has done fop this city. His energy is dis: playe lin many works." The liherals have been in power for' thirty years in Ontario, but the real grievance of the opposition is that the conservatives have been outside for thirty years. The service Mr. Pense has rénderea Sineitbn deserves the best reward; let the province have ihe henelit of / his send and. energy. Kingsion won't be a loser for he ean swing things this way. For the benefit of the News we might say that the liberals are not raising any election fund for other than legitimate expenses. They are do ing just as the conservatives are do ing, It is almost pathetic to see and hear the lament of Mr. Whitney and his organs and followars over the way they allege the Ross government in "wasting" the lanas and resources of New Ontario. Hamilton Herald (Ind.) : We, think that the leader of 'the opposition might be in better business than pub licly inciting his followers to deeds of violence. Such talk as his in de magogic and dangerous. "1 repeat that I am sick and tired and disgusted with hearing these men, whose business requires them to ask concessions from the government, con stantly held up to the public as high wavmen, common thieves and rob hers." --George F. Marter. "Thirty years is long enough for any one hody of men, however excel lent. to be in office"' Is there one man in the legislature who bas been "in office' thirty years? Not one With few exceptions the men in the legistatare have not heen there over ten years. Now blood and new ener gv has constantly been infused. "It 3% a recognized rule that gov ernment officials ¢hall not take an ac tive part in politics," remarks the Mtawa Citizen But only made a rule since liberalism prevailed in the dominion, Before that conservative office holders were braven in their support of their party. At that tine they thought they bad a perpetual lease of power, We're straining our Tugs and eager lv awaiting the sound in the distance of the yelping and snarling of the Toronto World when the news reaches its sanctum that the Ontario govern ment promises aid to a forestry school at Queen's. "Billy" Maclean will tear his hair out in job lots, and hurl maledictions at the Kingston univer sity: The World ie a Whitney organ, and voices conservative feeling. We have 288,000,000 acres of pulp wood in New Ontario (not counting several million feet of pine.) This at the present rate per cord collected by the government, forty cents, would amount to the grand figure of $115, 000,000, as against 'the paltry $500, 000, which the whole of New Ontario would have brought, if the Ontario opposition_could bave helped their party at Ottawa to suo wed in dispos ing of the timber at. the rate of than a cent an acre. The Mail assures its readers than apy discussion of Sir John Maedon ald"s attitude on the boundary ques tion "is absurd." No doubt the torids do not like to face the fact that Six John and his party. endeavored to the best of their ability - to deprive the province. of the territory now known as "New Ontario" and the ef forts of the liberals alone saved it "A lie that is all a lie ean be met and fought with outright, But a lie that is part the truth is a bardér matter to fight." Every true conservative must feel ashamed of the mendacious treatment the Mail and Ewmpire is according I G. W. Ross. It early in the eampaign aconsedl him of going" on a drunken tour throngh Ontario and now it declares be is importing Am erican black legs to steal the election from Mr. Foy. As the Globe rays "Mr. Rose has been a member of the Ontario legislature for thirty years, and no public. man in Canada is more Tree from the slightest suspicion of using improper means of carrving elections."
