Mr. James accepted a call to the fad- eral service. His ability was well known, and a new government realized the imporiance of delegating to him a work for which he has special quali- fication; Meanwhile the agricultural interests of Ontario are suffering.

From Nottingham "gas undertaking £39,000 had been taken this year, and several members 'of the finance com mitlee resigned in protest, but some had since rejoined the committee. The opinion was expressed by one speaker that the time had arrived when, ip the interest of the consumers general ly in the country, parliamentary aet ion should be taken to stop undue raiding of municipal profits." In England the public. utilities have been managed with greater care than in the United States and Canada.

Hence the need of a mainienance and depréciatipn actount which should be as sacredly guarded as the sinking fund, which no municipality nowadays thinks 'of attacking. In Nottingham the existence of a good fund, in con: nection with - the light department, seems to have been a temptation which soine men could not resist. They stole from it, with the result that some members of 'thé city's finance committee resigned. They did this in order to emphasize the that had been done. The act may have the desired effect and it may not. The protest of W, G.

The fact remained thai the money of the water department. was wrong council, grossly misapplied, and with the re- sult that later expenses had to be in- curred, in conrieckjon with the water which could not be met out restoration; and depreciation service, the fund. The London Chronicle is correct, in that nothing can save the municipality from the \bnglers and plunderers but a and sundry who trespass of assuming law that severely penalizes all it.

Chief of them is the" Im- perial Maritime League, whose mission is to save the empire for those whose vietory "would spell the ruin of our It is composed of many pa- people, including retired ad- mirals and generals, who have been accustomed to carry out the orders of others and are dictating the condi- tions under which governments may now exist. The League is free to at- tack any government, but so far its assaults have been upon the liberal government. A pamphlet has been issued by the League. It is the production of H. F. Wyatt, whose deep concern is how to avoid starvation during a lohg war. Wyatt has dug up the report of a roy- al commission which, in 1903, report- ed that in the event of conflict the food supply of Great Britain would not last longer than two months.

The league is, of course, patriotic. Why does it not confine its advice to the admiralty, which has to do with the care and direction of the navy, and which must be impressed if the advice is sound ? One does not want to judge it harshly, but the conclusion he gets from a reading of the pamphlet is that the League is given to trou ble rather. than to good works. Only the admirality gan pass upon the mer- its of the League's plan, and my lord Winston =~ Charchill's opinion of it would be very interesting.

So far as we can see, half the cause ofbad farming in "Ontario 'is made up by bad roads, by lack of drainage and by neglecting to "raise suflicient feed. Many 'of our farmers are muddling through as best they can and as casy as they can, for some reason or other. If the are bad, they won't buy feed, and if the ground is can't raise feed, and they as easy as they may. They want to be wakened Mr. Dull has uadertaken the ing it. Is he wakening he getting them teaching them as roads and haul not dry they get through up, and job of do- them up? 1s good roads? ls he how drain their land ?

This is a very: busy world these days, and men who un- dertake public responsibilities must discharge them or let someone else try. Also, the sale as well as the slaugh- ter of brood stock to-day of the erimes in Ontario, and Ontario pill 'be a poor farming province as long as this is allowed to continue. As we said, Mr. Duff must waken ap the farmers and show them how to do their duty to their land and to their country, and to their herds. But has anybody seen the farmer general for some days past ?
