The Anglican church, so far as it ay nod, is to be congratulated upon con- Seding 'that it is the dus of women that they should participate in the deliberations of church and vestry sy and possibly the house of bishops--but it If all the synods be 'as free to acknowledge the usefulness of #he women as the Toronto synod the . ssions asked for will be Wpeochily granted. The humble con- fessioh of 'one man, and endorsed practically by all' present, was'this : 4*We depend more upon the women fithnn the men. 'We 'must reckon on the women of to-day. Organized bod- "ies of women have dope wonderful things." = He may have been think- ing of the mamner in which the wo- snmea of England have been asserting omselves. and' they generally occup, Tigh placed In dociely. Certain it is that the men are waking up eud- denly to deserts of the women and showing 'a desire to pay them the re- cognition which is their due.

They are now coming to their own in ome church, and the othe# churches had better take no- tice and gracefully surrender. fo: Thaw goes to Pittsburgh, his old home, on husiness, Some of these days he will be again at large, and with 'an opportunity to pick off some valuable subject with his little gun. AN APPEAL IN VAIN. _ The newspapers of the country will not sufier by the seaste's rejection of the Post Ofiice Act, an amendment of . which bad to do with the rates on Granted that the news- "paper rate in the past has been insui- fisient. to meot the expenses, and that some abuses of the Act, or its privi- _«doges, have crept in, the fact remains "that the postosster-general was dis- "posed to go to extremes in the reme- dying of the defects. A committee of _ the Canadian Press Association plead- x ** "of the department. ved ite cause with great clearness. An expert had spent months in collecting ithe data on which this committee act- ed, and the need was one of great value. The committee was not will- ing to accept of any arbitrary ruling It stood out for "8 rating which would be approved 'by parliament. The postinaster-general, for some reason, did not want this. He was willing to make a modifica: tion of his rates, or to accept a masx- imum And readjust the scale below it. The mittee held out for an appeal to 'parliament, and the senate finally adopted a motion to that 'effect. Mr. Pelletier will not have this, and drops 'the measure. for the session, including the clauses which deal with many things besides newspaper rates. Mr. Pelletier is not a model postmaster general. He does not size up with his predecessors in the office, nnd he never will. His mind is as small as "his stature.

Gentlemen of the Board of Health. It is for you to frame your réquests for an incinerator, with, if possible, an estimate of the cost of installing it, so that the council will listen to you and move upon your recommenda- tions. . IGNORING THE GOVERNMENT. History is being repeated. When the Laurier government went to the country in 1911 there was no rea son to expect a defeat. It was giv- ing the people good government. The Present government is supplying evi- defice of this by now taking up the liberal policy its members in opposi- tion so noisily condemned. There have been three illustrations of 'this fact in the last couple of weeks. © The minister of militia has candidly admitted that the policy of the liberals, with regard to the can- tracts of the militia department, were the best, 'and they have been revive 'ed. The Gutelius-Staunton report, alleging that the liberal govern. ment had wasted $40,000,000 on the Transcontinental . railway, in expen- sive bridges and grades, has been re- pudiated and, as a starter, a million dollars are being expended in remov- ing the "sags" in the road of which this special commission approved. The Laurier naval policy has been restored, so far as the naval train- ing is concerned. The same policy, regarding the building of Canadian ships, may be expected to follow.. Hardly had the election in begun than signs appeared of liberal dissatisfaction and liberal disaffec: tion. The causes of it were difier- ent in different places. Reciprocity in trade with the United States started the trouble and it grew rapidly. Again 'one wees the signs of a poli- tical upheaval. . There were first quiet Jrotests against governmental ceedings. Next came the news of min- isterial crises, as when Dr. Reaume was rejected by his constituents and Foy changed his stamping grourdd to escape the same fate. Following this were the reports of political defec- tions, largely from the conservative party, and of conservative candi- dates declaring thempelves to be in favour of Rowell's temperance pol- icy. Never in Ontario has such a spirit of discontent with a government pre- vailed. The ministers are, tree to say and do what they like. They cannot anyl more cajole the electors or dom- ineer over them. The people in this election are acting in an independent way. On'the conservative side the leaders have been ignored and largely because they have got out of touch with the electors. J---- pro- EDITORIAL NOTES. The Canadian manufacturers of going into politics.

If, as is estimated, the farmers of Saskatchewan owe Eastern manufac- turers $40,000,000 for implements, it is not hard to understand that frie- tion has developed and that the Iarming community is not ina po- sition'to reap the maximum bene fit of labor and the land. So says the Montreal Mail, which has been impressed by the western men's de- mand for 'a readjustment of the tar- iff. . POLITICAL NOTES. By a standing vote the Preshyter- ian g 1 bly have passed a resolutian in favor of abolishing the bar. The delegates of the W.C.T.U., in annual meeting at Ottawa, urged the electors to stand by principles, irres- pective of party affiliations.' A large number of young men have been registered as voters and will exercise the franchise for the first time on June 29th. To thew the lesson of "The boy or the bottle" has become very distinct, "It may be that the govesument will lose some seats in Eastern On- tario owing to dissatisiaction about Guelph Mercury. e are already abundant signs a great change has passed over the 1 ity in relation to the litical fie ad condition of this vince, a t like, cha will 'be exhibited in the Pip and tone of the legislative assembly when it convenes next session. Beguiled and misled by their overwhelming ma- jority the conservatives in the as sembly rode ruthlessly and insulting- ly over the small liberal remnant, forgetting always that the common people like fair play and good na- ture even in parliament. The gon- temptible effort to reduce by fair means the already small hand of 1j- berals capped the climax and dis gusted many conservatives. The bias of the electorate was already to- wards the libegals before the cam- paign began, and it nay develop in- to a landslide. There is a marked and ominous dif- ference between the two parties in the matter of party loyalty and co- hesion. The Whitney cabinet is split up! into. four factions : One headed that he po- pro: Regulation 17," says the Ottawa Journal, "but if so these seats be lost honourably by the tives." Thomas Hodgson is an independent conservative candidate in North Vie- toria. He endorses the conservative policy generally, but reserves to him- self the right to vote for temper- ance and to go as far as total pro- hibition. Ex-Mayor Evanson, of Prescott, is the choice of the temperance con- servatives in: Grenville. He opposes G. Howard Ferguson, the mst ser- vile servant of the government. anson gets the support of the perance liberals. Because the liberals Hamilton have decided to oppose Hon. My. Hen: drie~his highness has ordered that Allan Studholme, the labour candi- date, in an adjoining electoral di vision, shall be opposed. This 'is surely peanut politics. The weight of representation moves steadily westward. The Maritime Provinces lose, by redistribution, five members; Ontario loses four, and the west gains twenty-two. Quebec mains as it was, with a shift the rural to the urban sections. "We are not taking part on any political platform for either conser- vatives or reformers in this elec tion," said Mrs. F. C. Ward, predi- dent of the Toronto W.C.T.U. "We should, however, make a point of supporting the abolish the bar can- didate." The Mail, in July, 1913, discussed the Ontario department of agricul- ture very. candidly and admitted that it was "not keeping pace with the other branches of industry." Why ? Who is responsible for a misman- aged or neglected department if not the minister ? At Brockville conservative conven- tion a letter addressed to the Hon. W. T. White, and signed by Mayor Donaldson, stated that they looked to him for the extension of patron- age. Mr. Webster, M.P., they de- clared, 'was nominated by accident, and neither he nor Donovan, M.P.Y., would again represent Brockville. PUBLIC OPINION] Out of the Running, : Puck.

These men all have their supporters, respectively, in the 'legis- lative assembly, and now the same cleavages are cropping up in the con- stituencies. Such "scraps" are irre- pressible in. proportion to their silli- ness, for there is no room in them for sweet reasonableness to assert it- self; the fighting tendency and chronic bickering pass rapidly from bad to worse. The liberals are bringing out some unusually good candidates at this election; men of cabinet calibre, so that in the event of an overthrow of the Whitney administration Mr. Rowell would have no trouble in finding cabinet colleagues. oe bar abolition policy, the ranks of the liberals are rapidly clos- ing pp and there is no longer any hanging back as there was last year. Every selected candidate accepts cor- dially the situatian, and openly and emphatically says so. On the other hand the avowed separation of con- servatives from their party is creating a paniky feeling such as is often fol- lowed by crushing defeat. SATURDAY, JUNE THIRTEENTH Harrison Watson, for many Years the representative in London, Eug- land, of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association, is fifty years of age to- day. He was born in Montreal, his father having been a director of the Bank of Montreal. After several years in Business in Canada he was appointed in 1892 to take charge of the Canadian section of the Imperial Institute, London, and has since con- ducted the commercial and emigration work of that department. He was sub- sequently appointed a ' commercial agént of the Canadian Government and more recently Hon. Agent-Gemeral in the United Kingdom for Prince Ed- ward Island. Also born to-day: Prof. L.

Indorse Rowell's var or bottle" policy and what prolific herds of "blind pigs" would spring up all over - this fair province--Hamilton Spectator, The brewery press has a poor op- inion of the average Ontario citizen, The above statement makes it plain that the Spectator believes that a majority of the men who now go into bar-rooms would consort in "blind Pigs" and dives, and break tho law of the land to secure liquor. The Advertiser does not beligve that ten men in a thousand who now frequent bars would enter a "blind pig" or break the law to secure l- quor after the bars were closed. The average man who drinks may be an enemy to himself, and a fool to drink, but it is hard to believe, as the conservatives press charges, that he wold cause t country to blos- som with iniquitous. dens; ahd that the government would be unable to enforce the law. This is about the only argument the con » in the product of vertiser.
