The law is well meant. It covers some cases fully.

As father or mother the disposition is to screen the boy, and save him from the cor- rection of the court. The magistrate would have less compunction about applying the pen- alty if it were reasonable--$1 or $1 and costs. He would be willing to exact such a sum; indeed he would be justified in doing so, But $5 is a different matter; and one does not find fault with him for resorting to every other expediency in view of all the faots.. The education department should be asked to give this matter attention, The board of education would be warranted in petitioning the legislature for a change in [the law, and one which Would certainly pro- duce the best results. The conservative press affects to be surprised because Sir Wilfrid « Laurier has said in Moutreal, liberals, that he regards the reciprocity question as unsettled. in addressing the young There was a wicked combination of political unite against the govern- ment, and for the time being it triumphed, but the end is not yet. One sees the evidence of this in the information from Ottawa and Winni- peg of the fact that the western members are bound vo have tariff reduction. They have been home for the holidays, and have come into comtact with the electors. They see in the present attitude of the party towards the tariff an aggravation that, will surely lead to political trou- Ele. The west, as the Wiig pointed | agredment, PARTY IN A PANIC. out, is bound to rule, and the con- servatives from the newer provinces will press this conviction on the par- ty and the house. There may be an attempt to stave the issue off until the situation can be considered by a tariff commission. But Mr. Foster, one of the old guard, and wiser than any in this genera tion, does not believe in remitting tp a4 commission that which should be dealt with by the government. He will see the prudence of placating the western members, or rather of heroi- cally promoting the power "of the western people by promoting trade with the United: States, without an Who would have expected the ship of state to be so much . in Wenger from the rocks, and at so eally a date in ite reign ¥ The spirited discussion which took place in the commons just before its adjournment at Christmas, regarding the dismissal of officials, will be re membered. There hag been a heart- less decapitation of liberal heads; the reports, indeeed, recalled an experience in China, where it was a common oc currence, in some places, for trivial offences, or alleged offences, to call out public executioner and set him to work on certain unfortungtes with- out question or ceremony. The crux of the debate in parlisment was as to the mammer in which re- newals should be made. Granted that there was great pressure from the outside, that in Ottawa alone nearly three thousand persons were clamour: ing for appointment, that they did not care what steps were. taken by the government so long as vacancies DISMISSAL OF OFFICIALS. were created in the service, the idea reimained that dismissals only should be made for cause. What should be the moving consilleration, partizanship, gross and offensive. It was urged that a letter from the member, based on what he regarded as good ground, should be sufficient. It was not conceded by the premier, but it appears to have been accepted by his colleagues, and the result is a wholesale dismissal of public offi- cials. Some of them may have de- served attention. Sqme of them oer: tainly did not, and.even the oc tive Telegram protests against the business and declares that it must be stopped by Mr. Borden if he would not have it react upon him, and his government.

Votes are sought on the ground that Germany is in danger, and that the emperor must be given all the battle ships and fighting men that he needs. Nothing like a war scare to stampede the people in an "election. The World still leads in the matter of exciting reports.

But Sir James Whitney , would not, if he could, have dismissed sherifis, registrars and other appointees in any constituency on the written request of the member representing that con- stituemcy. And if Sir James Whitney had per- mitted a general slaughter of liberal office holders, Sir James might be in power to-day, but he would be faced by the strong, urfited formidable opposition, which had the sources of its strength in the wrongs perpetrated by a tyrant government. If Right Hon. R. L. Borden proves himself & premier rather than a pup- pet he will hot permit his postmas- ter-general to make "the blood of the martyrs the seed of fhe church" in the experience of the liberal party in Ontario. If Right Hon. R. L. Borden should vrove himself a puppet rather than a premier, he will permit his de partmental chiefs to give free rein to the worst elements and impulses of a victorious party, and the re sult must be that never agifn will the. liberals go out of this province with only thirteen seats to their credit.
