It is dgeply régret- table that the vote a such '& marked opposition. between town and country; but when that opposition does develop it is usually sate to con- clude that the sober and considered opinion of the old Oatario type of citizen is better expressed by the country vote than by the city. Of the majorities against prohibition, no less than eighty thousand was piled up in four great urban centres, To- ronto, Hamilton, Ottawa and Wind- sor. Now nobody will deny that alk four of these centres contain large bodies of residents, some of them more or less transient, who are much more recent arrivals in On- tario than the typical resident of the emaller cities or the rural parts, and who have not as yet acquired much of the Ontario conception of com- munity life and public morals. We are far from suggesting that these residents belonging to non-Ontario racial stocks are not entitled to the ull franchise, and that their vote Is not to be taken just as seriously as Ontario tarmers of three gemerations of standing; and we deeply deplore the division which this plebiscite has set up, or rather has deepened, between | the crowded centres of immigration and the sparsely settled areas where the inhabitants are near old settlers.

Kingston is, we imagine, the most thoroughly On- tarian--oertainly the most shorough- ly British--of ail the cities which find themselves in the "wet" col- umn, with the possible exception of London, whose wet majority, in re- Jation to the size of the place, is al- most negligible. Of the other cities which show substantial wet majori- ties, besides the four already named, many have large foreign elements in their population, such as Fort Wil- liam, Port Arthur, Sault Ste. Marie and Welland, and Kitchener has an element which, while no longer to bel described as foreign, has never assimilated the Ontario feeling on the subject of the pleasures of the peiate. Against' the hundred thousand or so of a wet majority rolled up by these places (and we have Itttle hes {tation in crediting it very largely to the non-Ontario elements), the other email citles and an overs whelning muster-roll of towns and counties piled up majorities suf- ficient to offset the large or foreign éities and to give the Ontario Tem- perance Act a fairly substantial net endorsement. In the dry cities it is interesting to note such thoroughly Ontarian places. as Brantford, Oshawa, Owen Sound and Peter with their populations of skilled artizans with permanent jobs, us- ually owning their own house and garden and often also their own Gar. The dry towns read like a list of the birthplaces of famoug gntarians, 80 thoroughly do their names recall the tine old days of the little red school house and the old-style community lite that produced the Ontario char- acter of to-day; but the wet towns ard largely lumber and mining set< tlements, with a fow border towns tured by the prospect of floods - of American money. . The typical "Old Man Ontario" ig evidently * still convinced of thé value and effectiveness of prohibi- tion. But therp are growing up in the midst his territory large groups of people who are not such typical Ontarians, unless we are to consider the type as undergoing coti~ siderable moditicatién.

In some respects the transactions which are sending Jarvis and Smith: to prison were exceptionally mean ones. Peter Smith in particular was & member of a government, and a THE _D AILY name and érediting to him a substian- tially important contribution.

Great denunciations of the corruptness of all the older parties and their lead-. ¢rs and the shrillness of its own claims to purity. While he was in office, circumstances developed which made the Canadian dollar worth a great deal more in sterling money than it had ever been be- fore. It was thus possible for the province to buy up its own bonds from British holders, who had ught and would gell them: in ster- 113%; for a very much lower price than anybody had ever expected. But the provincial treasurer decided not to go into the market himself, or through an agent working on commission, and thus buy the ' boiids direct at the market price. Instead he gave to Er. Jarvis an order for the bonds at a price much above the market, thereby depriving the province of a large part of the real profits of the transaction: It was argued in de- fence, and doubtless the guilty par- ties argued to themselyes, that there was in a sense no loss to the province, as it still got back its bonds at a lower price than thelr redemption value. But the casuis- try of that argument is as evident to the ordinary business mind as it was to the court. The late U.F.0. government was fond of assuring the people of On- tario that it did not consist of 'pro- fessional politicians, but of plain farmers and business men, But every man who engages in politics must be either a professional or an amateur, and it being governed by amatéurs means being governed by administrators such as the Hon. Peter Smith, the province' may well conclude that it is safer to be gov- erned by professionals. It is credi- table to the honesty but not to the intelligénce of Mr. Smith's colleagues in the cabinet, that they seém to have been unaware of what he was doing. A cabinet of professionals would have been much better post- led. DR. JOHN WATSON. Only a very small number . of per- sons ever concern themselves about philosophy, but the results of their concern with it are of gigantic im- portance. In some mysterious man- ner, the ideas which the philosophers of one generation have formulated are filtered down into the minds of the masses of the succeeding gener: ation and theré become the main- springs of action of millions of in- dividuals and of vast communities. The world war was a clash of philo- fophies as much as a clash of eco- nomic rivalries, Nations fight be- cause they make rival claims to the same thing; but the facts upon which they base their claims are idéntical, and it is the philosophic use that they make. of the facts that leads them to their different and frrecon- ¢ilable conclusions. . The community of great philoso- phers thinking in the world at any given time is a very small one, and its members are all well known © one-another. The same is trus of the community of great scientists. The number of braifg engaged today in thinking new thoughts about the electron, or about the principle of relativity, is probably so small that their owners could assemble easily traditions are established and main- tained by great minds; and the Queen's spirit is too great a tradition to be credited exclusively to under- graduates. To have helped in mak- ing a philosophy and a university is a work upon which any man may well look back with pride. If Dr. Watson is not looking back with pride today, it is merely because he refuses to look back at all, having plenty of work yet before him to look forward to. That he may long live to perform it is the ardent wish of all who know him=or know what he has done. -- KINGSTON IN 1854 Sidelights From Our Files THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY. May. 26.The festivities of yes- terday went off gallantly. The whole city and nearly half the country were on the qui vive the entire day. Num- erous visitors came from Watertown and Cape Vincent, . The review of all the troops in garrison took place shortly before twelve o'clock, and lasted two hours. It was really a splendid display of fnilitary manoeuvres. The Queen's color wag trooped and afterwards an excellent sham fight took place. A royal salute of twenty-ome guns was fired from Fort Henry; the Royal Artillery on the ground fired another royal salute and the infan- try fired three several feus de joie. Shortly after two o'clock, the grand procession was formed, in- cluding the mayor and counéll, the judge,.. sheriff, city member and county member and the bar, pre- ceded by two good bands, On their return, some of the gentlemen mounted one of the stands in the Market Square and delivered some capital patriotic speeches. From five till six o'clock, the climbing of the greasy pole occurred, in which amusement several excel- lent hats were bravely won. This amusement 'wag accompanied with a gratuitous WYistribution of several barrels of Kingston ale. to the admir- ing crowd. Ana : From eight until ten o'clock the display of fireworks took place in the Market Square. These had been purchased in New York by Mr. Me- Millan for thé city council and were a judicious outlay of money. Two stages had been erected to let them off properly, and they were display- ed to great effect. The private fire- works in the streets, particularly those of the boys ware good and in-' cessant, to the great bemefit of the tailors and dressmakers. The glorious day was terminated by a grand military concert given by Mr. 8. Dorla, director of the band of the B4th Regt., under the patron. age of Col. Young. The comeert-did not commence till very late and was not ended till near midnight. You can't kiss a girl these days who doesn't know how.
