Intercolonial Pension Scheme. The government is about to estab- lish a pension system for the benefit of the Intercolonial - railway * em- ployecs. Some of these have been for a very long time connected with the road, and are advanced in years. They have, indeed, reached the period when they should be retived, and the minjster in charge of the railway, Hon. Mr. Emmerson, has hesitated about making changes which would entail serious personal inconvenience. There is a superannuation scheme in connection with the civil service, but singularly enough it does not affect this railway, which has always been a public enterprise or utility. Now it is proposed to adopt a plan by which every old servant of the government, on the Intercolonial, will be provided for when the age limit outlined in the proposed law removes him from active service. The proposal iF The more ne- ceptable in that it will clear the way, without any hardship, for the reor- ganization of the railway force so that certain economies so long anticipated by the minister may be carried out. The pension fund will be created by sontributions from the men and from the government, and in such sum or sums as will guarantee substantial aid to those who require it. The scheme is one which has been carefully worked out, and will, in practical op- | eration, give the highest satisfaction. {t should receive the hearty endorse- ment of parliament, Women In Politics. Women have been the faithful help- meets of some of the men who have seached political distinction. The wives of Disraeli and Gladstone con- tributed to their = success more than any one can realize, though the pens of their biographies have not failed to do them justice. The leaders in parliament have their own cares and trials, and they can appreciate the sympathy, "yea the encouragement, which they find at times when great courts are transpiving. The men ine British public life whose names will live in history owed much to their wives and the inspiration which they rave in many a political crisis. The press of to-day is giving to the veople a glimpse into the private life of Gambetta, whose political career in France was so very brilliant. There was a woman with whom he talked over the incidents of the day, before whom he Jaid all his worries and vexations, all his trials and triumphs, to whom he indited letters and in them depicted with graphic lines the smotions of his soul. Who can read these letters without realizing the adoration he paid to her, and the in- fluence she had upon his life ? It is a woman who has affected the life of another public man, this time willy. Hon. Mr. Green, commissioner of lands in the British Columbia gov- swnment; has gone out of it, and for its good. He gave to this woman in- formation regarding .the Grand Trunk Pacific terminus that enabled her to get an option on Kaien Island land, which the company had to buy. She fortune by the deal. As lobbvist in the legislature she has had her powers felt, and a contem- porary qrestions if she will not prove the Nemesis of the McBride govern- ment. Women in politics become, then, an teresting study. They are not good or conducive to good. be a marvel if they were. made a a all It would Substitute For The Council. The object of the Ontario Medical Council is to keep out of practice those who are not qualified foryit. The college is exactiig enough in its tests and is supposed to guard the profes sion from the injury one could work upon it by inefficiency and unfitness. The collegm graduate, is, however, oc- casionally found wanting, not because he is uneducated, but because some questions strike him oddly and he does not do himself justice in the answering of it. Thus the medical council, by an independent examina- tion and examiners of its own, certi- fies that those who pass it are capa- ble of the service that is expected from them. Incidentally the licensee of the council is bound to observe cer- tain etiquette that will guard snd protect the honor of. the profession. Since the medical council, as in the Crichton case, is disposed to act im- prudently, to reach conclusions that are not justifisd by the facts, would it not be advisable that the govern- ment its functions, appoint its examining boards, and have the licens- ing' of .physicians done by an inde- pendent and impartial system ¥ the Crichton case. It is a serious thing to drive a man out of business, to deprive him of the chance 1c make living by the calling for which he is destructive 'would satisfy the average man who is both sane and just. Notes. What did you get in your stocking ? A million dollars went in Christmas presents in Montreal. How much you think was spent in Kingston ? do Do you favour ticket scalping ? If so Mr. Maclean, M.P., would like to hear from you. He stands practically alone on the question. Aldermpn Hoag has not yet ac counted for the manner in which he dodged the votes on the license ques- tion in 1904 and 1905. But he is cer tainly the artful dodger. St. Thomas is paying off" some of the general municipal indebtedness with the earnings of the electric plant, Isn't this rough on the electric power and light consummers ¥ The teleph: scheme has been re jected in a majority of the municipali- ties in Manitoba. Which is the result of trying to turn a purely municipal question into a political one. = The Mail says the liberals of Mani- toba opposed the public telephone sys- tem. Oh no. They simply opposed the efforts of the Roblin government make the question a party one. to -- The department of vital statistics, in Toronto, has offended the doctors by providing that the death certificates which they sign must be countersigned by the medical health officer. What is there wrong about that ? Accounts agree that the 'Christmas trade this season was the best many years. "The times," said one merchant, who is usually an authori ty, "were never so good as now, and never before have so many of the people lived on Easy street." in The Catholic Register is after H.C. Hockin of the Orange Sentinel and a candidate for the board of control in Toronto. The Register persuaded that. no Catholic can vote for a candi- date who is so inconsiderate of them usually. Time will tell whether the Register possesses the spirit of pro- phecy. is Patrick, the murderer, who had his sentence of death commuted to im- prisonment for life, has had an awak- ening. He is dissatisfied with the 'clem- ency that has been shown him and wants to go to the electric chair. He ought to have his wish. He doesn't deserve the consideration he has been shown. Cement Convention. The National Association of cement users has held two conventions, in 1905 at Indianapolis, in 1906 at Mil- waukee, and will hold its third and greatest in Chicago at the great building formerly known as Tattersalls and now the army of the 7th Regi- ment having 25000 square feet of floor space, during the week of Janu- ary Tth to 12th, will be assembled ex- hibits of the products of the great cement mills, cement machine manu- facturers, and kindred industries. Ma- chines will be exhibited in operation, making building stones, bricks and the other things in which cement now leads the world. Each morning and evening, in the banquet' hall of the auditorium hotel, the best posted men in the country will read papers cover ing. such subjects as the best in- gredients for concrete, the hest me- thods of mixing, making sidewalks and pavements, of waterproofing con- crete; how to make cement castings, how to get artistic results, Every architect, engineer and contractor could with advantage to themselves and the people at large, take a week's vacation for this convention. The rail- road passenger associations make a special rate for the round trip. The secretary of the association is W. W. Curtis, 334 Dearborn street, Chicago. Power Of The Press. The Woman's Home Companion, New York, took up the cause ot child labor reform and 1 cqoperation with the National Child Labor committee plan- ned a series of investigations, with the idea of first telling our readers the truth about child labor and then en- listing their active support in reform measures. A corps of trained investi- gators was sent to every important industrial centre in che country and the results of their investigations have appeared. Feeling on the part of readers led to the formation of the Anti-Child Slavery League, which has attained a membership of many thous- and earnest men and women repre- senting every state. The league is now an integral part of the National Child Labor committee, and the Woman's Home Companion, is the official result of publicity is seen through the the tremendously increased interest of the people in child labor. President Roosevelt announced in the January number where hestood on reforms, pnd also has made an earnest recom- mendation to congress, that steps be taken to abolish the evil. Principal Rainy Dead.

Winnipeg Tribune, men whose ideas are almost invaria- bly scoffed at by the "safe and sane" public men and newspapers and then stolen in their entirety or in part by the scoffers. A Pukle. . Winnipeg Tribune, Hon. C. H. Camphpll, the attorney- general, told the municipal union. at its meeting in Portage la Prairie that the province at large, though it would guarantee the municipal telephone bonds, would not be liable for them. Every municipality, he said, would have to meet all the charges of its own system, Hon. R. P. Roblin, Hon. C. H. Campbell and a great army of "ex- ports" declare that the municipalities will not: be liable for the telephone expenditures which will be met entire ly by the users. Hon. R. P. Roblin, ete., ete., declare | that the telephone users will only be liable for the amount fixed in their contract for the use of a municipal telephone.
