The report of the Provincial Board of Health, and dealing with the ques: tion of water supply, is intensely in- teresting. It should be made the sub- ject of the deepest study on the part of the local Board of ' Health. The period covered is from 1903 to 1912, and the average per 100,000 of deaths in the lake front towns and cities _ is stated to be: Fort Frances, 111; Rainy River, 103; Port Arthur, 175; Fort William, 183; Sault Ste, Marie, 133; Steelton, 23; Sarnia, 90; Walker- ville, 17; Windsor, 49; Amherstburg, 42; Sandwich, 75; Fort Erie, 29; agara Falls, 10; Niagara-on-the-Lake, 16, Hamilton, 16; Grimsby, 13; Oak- ville, 30; Toronto, 27; Whithy, 17; Bowmanville, 57; Port Hope, 41; Co- bourg, 20; Belleville, 35; 'I'renton, 7: Kingston, 43; Gananoque, 8; Prescott, 31: Brockville, 47; Cornwall, 60. There is an explanation as to why the death rate in some of the western places is so high. The local condi- tions were peculiar. The hospitals served the districts rather than the municipalities. Dut "there is .no ex- planation--and it should be forthcom- ing--as to why Kingston's mortality is higher than that of any Canadian city on Lake. Ontario, and why the rate at Gananoque and Prescott should be so much lower than the rate at Kingston and Brockville and Corn- wall... Clearly the water system 1s at fault, or it is afiected by the sanitary system, and to a much more serious extent than most people are willing to admit. - I'his new and authentic revelation as to Kingston's position must act as a powerful stimulant in producing ne- cessary, reforms and improveme!

At the same time they are willing to admit that Mr. Gamey's manner of doing business with the license: of the government does not look well, and that Sir James Whitney should call hita to account.

London, July 29%.---Remarkable evidence from Welsh Nonconformis- ts against the disendowment of the Welsh church was heard yesterday before the House of Lords commit tees enquiring into the: question of parliamiéntiry interference with the constitution,of the convocaiion, re- gardless of that body's wishes. Henry Radcliffe, senior partier in the largest firm of shipowners in South Wales, a liberal and a Cal- vanistic Methodist, said that he was alarmed at the propgsal to transfer £158,000 yearly fram. religious to secular work. He had been amazed to find that people of all shades of opinion, particularly liberals, share this view. As a candidate for par- lament, he had advocated disestab- lishment, but not disendowment Another witness showed that oi 70,000 signaures against disendow ment, aboyt 50,000 were of noncon formists. 3 . A retired vaptain, a liberal and #» congregationalist, told of cases of threatened boycott if the petition were signed. One lady of eighty year: was threatened by a nonconformist minister with refusal to bury her. Signing the Pledge. Canadian Courier Last year the ¢ity of Toronto was quite intemperate in the handling of it bonds. It sold forty-four lots. varying in size from five hundred dollars to five million, while Winni peg and Montreal sold only thre¢ lots, Toronto sold a bond issue ond a week, nearly; while other citie with shrewd moderation and definite financial policies sold one issue every four months. Through the influence of the finan- cial eritics and the bureau of munici pal research, the financiers al the City Hall have ' signed the pledge They are no longer acting like tipsy sailors. They will make only thre: issues this year. As a consequence, Toronto will save about two hundred thousand dollars as compared wiih lgst year. Toronto may go even farther I may appoint a nancial expert or an advisory financial commission who will reorganize the whole finances 0. the city and ensure it against future intemperance.- As in all other cities Toronto's officials are willing and anxious to bring the city government! to aX high state of efficiency, just as soon as public opinion demands re- form. Everything depends upon the attitude of leading citizens. Just Plain Crooks. Watertown Standard, Former Warden Clancy does not reflect high standard when he says that he does not blame the guards at Sing Sing for making a little side money on since they are paid but $66.66 a m@pth. Again the min- imum wage association with virtue fallacy comes to the front. Men who" receive $66.66 a month in lines of human endeavor are as honest as those receiving ten times that sum. If 'the crooks in that class received double the wage they would seek double the graft. The wage may be small. but every man on the job hunted it, clamored for it and do- clared himself fortunate to get it. There are thousands of honest men who would be glad to earn the ; b guards' wage with no more work and no longer hours. than the state re- quires Sing Sing hasn't a lot of un- men, it 'seems Serpaid 5 to have a jot offenders "tn by the Mrg.
