'With the third party eliminated from political consideration in On- tarfo, the Liberal party again looms as the single political bulwark against Conservatism as represented by Hon. G.

BE. N. Sinclair, K.C., leader, has stated at Oshawa and elsewhere that the door of the Lib- eral party is wide open to receive all those who are opposed to Tory- ism. The Liberal party platform, he has said, is broad enough and _ big enough to contain all those who, dif- fering to a degree on minor matters of policy, agree on the general prin- ciples of a government as propound- ed by Liberal leaders since Confed- eration. : The legislature itself fs expecting a deflection from the U.F.O. ranks to the Liberals. A few of the pre- sent U.F.0.'S or Progressives who were formerly Conservative might conceivably return to their party fold. But the larger exodus is ex- pected to be in the direction of the Liberal benches, and so far as any- one cansay at the present time {it is probable that they will be welcomed behind the Liberal leader to present a united loyal opposition to the gov- ernment, If there are no open deflections from the U.F.0. benches thig ses- sion it will be interesting to watch the course of events at the heralded Progressive convention this sum- mer. According to all present ap- pearances, Hon. BE. C. Drury was then to resume the mantle of leadership.

The decision of the magistrate in the matter is that the municipality is bound to obey the orders of the board of health, and he imposed a fine of $1,400 on the | town because the town council re- | fused to recognize that order and | preferred to resign in a body rather than do so. It seems very strange that a pro- vincial body, appointed by the min- | Isters: of the crown, can step in and override the wishes of the citizens municipality in a matter of any lity. .It would have been all right, in the opinion of the people of For- est, if the hoard had simply recom- mendéd that a new waterworks sys- tem be established, and left the | matter to the good judgment of the | people to decide when that improve- ment should be carried out. Fire reason of the Forest council for dis- obeying the order was a financial one. The establishment of the new waterworks invoved a very heavy expenditure of money, and the coun- cll felt'that under present business | {and fimancial conditions, it would be | | wiser to wait until the people were | | better able to bear this burden. The | joniy reply of the board to this was | ® the issuing of an order that unless | [ the work were started by a certain | date, the municipality would be fined one hundred dollars per day, and this order has been sustained by the magistrate by the imposition of a fine of $1,400. While it may be a fact that the provincial board of health was per- fectly within the rights conferred upon it by the act which created it, there is a feeling, on the other hand, that such autocratic measures were hardly justified.

Under the capable presi dency of Mr. T. M. Asselstine for the past three years the club has com- tinued to flourish and improve, and it was but fitting that Mr. Asselstine should be re-elected. He has devot- ed a great deal of time to the work, and has thoroughly informed himself in regard to all matters pertaining to motorists and motoring. His annual report, which appears else- where in the Whig, merits careful reading. A resolution, moved by Ald. P. }4Chown, dealt very appropriately with the county road question, cali ing upon the reeves; warden, county representatives and othefs to recon- sider thé decision pot to perform any further work on the good roads system this spring and summer, The club has spent time and money in sending broadcast throughdut New York state and Michigan circulars 'and maps with the object of induc- ing tourists to visit Kingston and the scenic beauties of Frontenac county. If the roads are not to be kept in good shape, the club was but wast- ing its efforts, The meeting unani- mously adopted this resolution, Am- erican tourist trafic brings tens of thousands of dollars into this county each year, and it was felt that the representatives of the back town- ships who blocked the good roads appropriation at the last meeting of the county council mpde a serious mistake. Most of this money ~ ig spent in their 'own townships, and if the roads are permitted to sink into disrepair the people of the back townships are the losers. The club will also again take up the question of providing a suitable motor camp, preferably near the water.

The chief fact which 'stands out is the offici- ousness of the provincial board of bealth.. Its action shows a lack of diplomacy, an absence of any desire to show a proper spirit of co-opera- tion with the municipalities. A little common-sense would have gone a long way in settling a matter such as. that which arose in Forest, but the provincial board 'was apparently too much concerned with the recog- nition of its own rights and prero- gatives to recognize any rights which the municipalities might have in the case. Such action is little less than autocracy, and there is no place for that in the Ontario of to-day. That Body of Pours Low Blood Pressure. You hear a great deal these daw about high blood pr gyre. Your insurance examiner is just as particular about that as he fs about your heart itself, or the kid- neys. Now high Blood pressure is not a good sign in general, because it shows that something is wrong with you "somewhere, and so the blood is at high pressure in its effort to get around everywhere and do its work. i However, you would certainly be worse off if you had some heart or kidney trouble, and had a low blood pressure with it. But what'I have in mind is that 80 many people are' so afraid of hav ing a high blood pressure, that they do everything in their power to keep the blood pressure down. Now it your blood pressure is really high this is good sense, but if your blood pressure is normal, then you are foolish indedd.
