i i i : F : 3 were made the defendants in an action which has rum its course and ended in The judgment of the court is, how- ever, lacking in element of consolid- ation. It is held that the defendants are not linble to eriminal prosecu- tion, under the code, and the judge, while not finding in its literature any- thing which could be designated as indecent, questioned the fitness of it of it ns "a stage production." Mak- ing thenselves, better understood they say that instead of exciting impure imagination in the minds of the audi- ence it inviles disgust, and is an un- likely way of exposing, as it is de signed to do, conditions under which some women are employed. Mr. Shaw, the author in England, regards the decision of the court as a vindication, and promises to revive the play. His only'wegret is that the sdlitors and erities, who were respon- sible for the litigation, have not been jailed, and he hopes he may be suc cossful in "forcing home their dis- graceful attitude in this matter." It. may be possible to reverse public opinion upon the play but it is not | likely. It is branded as unclean, and nothing that Kas been said of done | during the "hearing of the case has tended to make it clean. Etiquette of the Profession. The question of vested rights again comes home in a very peculiar way in the Crichton case. It came before the Mulical council of Ontario, at its re- § cont sension, and exei a lively de bate. Dr. Crichton, Castleton, wag accused of unprofessional conduct in advertising "a curs dor la grippe, and other ailments, wid the council | chafged that he was imposing upon | the credulity of the people and for the purpose of gain. " 4 One of the speakers, a doctor, and, not now in practice, described the of- fence a little more explicitly when he said it "was not, because of his be lief in any theory, nor for more ad. vertising, but because of alleged fraud in advertising." J Counsel for the accused asked that the case go over until September or until the next annual meeting, so that he might have more time in which to prepare his defence. But he was denied this request on the ground of expense. Moreover he declined to stop advertising his marvellous cure, and so the motion Was carried that his name be stricken from the roll, What follows ? Must he conse the practice of medicine?

Failed of the Mark. It is a satisfaction to know that Upton Sinclair wrote "The Jungle," for the purpose of concentrating atten tion on the work in which certain per sons are engaged, Incidentally he wrote up the horrors of the meat pack- ing trade, and, in order to make the pictarvs intonsely real, studied the situation with special care. But he had, it is said, first a desire to aid socialimn by a remarkable object les son, and then a desire to help the men who, as an occapation, were fore. od 'into daily experiences of the most revolting character, It is something new to be brought into contact with one who has in sev. eral respects achieved what he did not aim at. Sincluie did not expect to make money out of his book, and the money is rolling his way; for the story is commanding a large and profitable sale, He did not seek a reformation of the meat packing business, and his awful revelation, even as fiction, star le the Jarger cities a two contin. ents, ' The stock yards ut home and abroad are being fumigated, and jn. cette the workers will he benefitted, DUE not as Sineluie designed.

The commons will not have adjourn- od any too soon for the ophosition if it makes an end of the session by the close of this week. Some men who have been esteemed great, or who have had greatness thrust upon them by their party, have been carrying their crotohets to extremes" Mr. Ames, NLP., Montreal, is credit od with having accomplished great things with his little card case. As member for one of the Montreals he is said to have won his election by or ganization. He had money and he hired help and drilled it in certain work which, elaborated, kept him be fore the people as a candidate and made then admire his persistency. His methods, of tabulating and re- view everything, and using it in a parliamentary sense, were copied and applied. Hence the appeal to the faithful for generous contributions to the bureau's expenses. Hence the employment of men to nose into every department of government, as Mr. Ames' sleuths nos- ed into every detail of the civie bugi- ness when he was an alderman. Hence the division of the forces into com- panies with specific plans and par- poses. Hence the decision to make this the scandal session, and to create all the noise and fuss possible over every "discovery," so that the people might be impressed. Hence the exploitations and explosions, with- out much damage to gnything but the reptile fund. The last and most ineffectual assault. was made upon the experimental farm. The scandal mongers had their mission there and when the estimates of the agricultural department were under consideration they ranted and seold- ed, about the fences and hedges and trees and hogs, and for every defect they held Hon. Mr. Fisher to ac count. Now the staff of the central experi- mental farm, from the principal down, are supposed to be the ablest men procurable. All of them are spe cialists in their lines, All of them are capable of giving instruction to the people, and to parliament itself, on the subjects which' are assigned to them. Fancy the humiliation of the committee which; in order to 'hurt the minister, undertook to discredit these specialists and reflect upon their work. The model farm, it is true, should be a model in every way. It is not run for profit, and there should be no feature with which a common, every day, ond amateur fault. Granted that there was some- thing to cavil at, fancy the ridicule members of parliament invite by hold- ing Mr. Fisher personally responsible | Editorial Notes.
