Under the new order of things, Can- ada will for a while lose in revenue, but it will gain in trade, and some concessions will be made in retury for Germay concessions. There is nothing in the situation, however, that war- rants the lugubrious wail of the Lon- don Mail. It has a wrong impression of the case, il has been imposed upon, or it has viciously perverted the facts for grossly partizan purposes. THE MEMBERS ON STRIKE. The local government's dictation is being resented by the members of the WHO ARE TO BLAME, The Woman's National Daily is eor- rect in the assumption that the feder- al government cannot stamp out the white slave traffic by any expenditure of national funds. Some thing will be done, of course, by or through the ex- penditure of $100,000, in tracing up the sources and developments of the evil. Its check, suppression or complete banishment lies with the' local or municipal authorities, and, alas ! they are not fighting it with any degree f Occasionally there is a pre tence at suppression, but it is futile and unavailing. In one place the evil is tolerated; in another it is troubled us the public conscience suffers from go passing twinge; in another it is limit- ed in its boundaries, and allowed to flourish; and in one city in Canada it was proposed to tax and regulate it. The Woman's National Daily puts the responsibility where it really be longs when it says that it "rests of every man and wo neighborhood or com- Un- vigour. on the shoulders man in whose munity dens of immorality exist. viele Sam eannot reach this local vice, but the people cin. When they do-- when they pull the foundation from under the white slave traffic--there will be no occasion for Uncle Sam to spend £100,000 or any other amount for its rte RE supression. t BREAD STRIKE PROPOSED. In Toronto {t is proposed that the {women of the household, the already over-worked women, bake the bread which the family uses, until the ba- kers learn wisdom and produce a cheaper article. "IL" said a re presentative of a labour union, reported in the Toronto Star, "we could get the wives of the workinirmen to do this we would soon bring the bakers to time." : Is the consumption evening ? as of bread in: Is it, on the contrary, not that the cereals are all the rage and be- coming conspicuous at two of the meals each day ? And is there any advantage from a, temporary strike agninst the prices bf foods ? What of the recent movement against the prices of meat? It was ordered in several of the cities that the workingmen abstain from the use of beef, mutton or pork, for thirty days to the end that the patkers might realize what could be done by indignant men. The producers regu- lated their business by the action of the consumers for a month and then normal conditions were resumed. The middlemen suffered for a while, but the monopoly or trust came out of scrimmage with the ball, and a first free kick with a' smil- The lesson with regard to ill not be forgotten in the talk bread. PERVERFING THE FACTS. The London Mail has a very unjust and improper appreciation of the Ger man surtax and the effects of its re moval. Our contemporary alleges that the Canadian government waited until the British elections were gver--waited "to see the issue of the struggle for tariff reform in FEagland"--and then acted. Had the people of England re- turned a working majority for tariff reform, it is said, the removal of the German surtax 'might. not have been effected, so that the Britishers "have only themselves to blame for any loss of British trade that may follow." There could not be a greater mis- conception, or a greater misrepresen- tation, of the facts. Canada was watching the election with unprece dented interest, and its government had ity own anxieties with regard to { the result. But had it. been free to BR speak it would have expressed sympa- | thy with the attitude of the Asquith . government, and fear lest 5 change of | policy might operate to the gredt dis- advantage of Canada. This is essenti- ally a food-producing country, and England is the market for its exports. Had these exporils been submitted to a legislature, The other day Hon. Mr. Lucas refused to let the Private Bills committee vote upon a matter with regard to which he and certain con- servative members differed. He was bound to cousult the government be- fore be would proceed further. Hon. Mr. Beck, at the Public Accounts com- mittee, directed a witness not to an swer when that answer meant 4 pos- sible reflection upon the Hydro-Elec- tric commission. Hon. Mr. Hamna laid before the Municipal committee a bill relating to the weight of bread which refused to consider because it was not in accord with the mind and desires of the committee. While in the legis- lature the premier grdered a supporter to drop his bill in pain of having it killed by his command. There is a limit to this kind of thing. It may be well for the premier to have the power to control legislation, especially when his government will be held to ac- count for it, but the members must be treated like men in place of serfs. Now party loyalty does not involve an absolute surrender of one's inde pendence. The member may be willing to act under advice, and realize that in the multitude there is wisdom, but he cannot be coerced or clubbed into submission, and the government of Ontario will discover this some of these- days, . ; ¢ POLLUTION OF OUR 'WATER. Senator Beleourt is quite satisfied that the federal parliament is the plate where legislation must be pass- ¢d dealing with the pollution of na- vigable streams. His argument may be irresistable, and it is challenged be- cause the public health is a matter with which the provincial legislature has to do, aad this question of wa- ter, and its effect on the health of the people, is surely a provincial sub- ject. There will be no one who will dis pute that sooner or later the towns and cities will be debarred from turn- ing their sewage into the lakes and rivers from which the water for do- mestic purposes is drawn. 'The ty- phoid fever which has broken out in the cities during the winter--five thousand cases being reported from Montreal--had its origin in the water, and as time goes on, and the popula- tion increases, the dangers from con- taminated water will afso Increase. The federal gonsrnment may not have jurisdiction in the premises, and this may save it from the responsibility of action, but the responsibility will devolve upon another body, and cir- cumstances will compel it to act. For the time being Kingston will be spared a very 'heavy expenditure, one it has contemplated vaguely for a very lonz time, Twenty-five years ago thy council distussed the meces sity of constructing an intercepting sewer all along the front of the har- bor in order to receive the sewage and carry it to a point where it could be impounded and treated. This sewer will have to be provided some day, with septic tanks, pumping sta- tions, etc., and the cost will be pro- bably $250,000,000. A committee has been appointed td watch the pro- ceedings at Ottaws, in the interest of the dty. It may mot have much, if anything, 10 do at the present, be t:ause the question of jurisdiction has to be settled, Wham this is dome the committee may have to recommend that any reasonable measure, looking to the purity of the water, should be complied with. Syracuse has a peculiar, if not a unique, experience. Not since its wa- ter supply has heen procured from an inland lake has any cases of typhoid supply from Loughboro Lake. service would be expensive, and would not save the city from the operation of a law wlich forbad 4t to turn its sewage into the waters of the harbour.

A uliar kind of blandering known as "folk etymology' is responsible for some of the queerest freaks of Ilan- guage. An easy example will make this clear. Our American world "car- ryall" for a kind of vehicle is not a compound of "carry" and "all" but a slight distortion of the French "carri- ole," a diminutive car. The change was made in obedience to the uni- versal tontlency to assimilate the un- known to the known, to make words mean something by associating them with others which. they resemble in wound. Often there is no' etymological relatioy, between the words asssociate] as when sparrowgrass is made out' of asparagus.
