Tariff restric. tions by the American government put an end to this flourishing busi ness however and the lake carrying trade was further hit by improved passenger and freight service on the old Grand Trunk railway.

The history of the Metro- polian Force, sald Sir John, was literally punctuated by committees of enquiry, "When one considers the almost sacred character with which human liberty is invested in.this country," Sir John continued, 'and the mag- nificent opportunities for criticism that exist through Parliament and the public press, the marve: to me is not that there are complaints, but that there .are not far more complaints, I think public opinion is rightly sensitive in these matters and when publie opinion is disturh- ed it is essential that there should be the fullest ventilation of the matters involved, I feel, however-- and I take it upon myself to state this quite frankly--that there are certain efrcumstances at the pre- sent time for which the police are in no way responsible, but which tend to make their work appreeiah- ly more difficult, and to multiply eauses of frietion, "If the police are to do their work properly, sane and responsible pub- lic opinion must be on thelr side. In the Motor Car Acts we have at present a law, to the detailed en- forcement of which an enormous amount of police time was devoted, and which 1s frankly out of date, Speaking purely from the police point of view, I wish this state of affairs could he altered, ft is daily putting the police at variance with large numbers of decent and norm- ally law-abiding citizens--with the very class of people on whose sym- pathy and support they should be able to reply, The Streets Betting Act constitutes another difficult problem for the police--=a probleny not rendered easier by the institu tion of the Betting Duty and other more recent legislation. Respect for law and the instruments of the law is bound to be diminished if the penal statute is not enforced," Then there was the whole ques- tion of moral offences where the police had the' difficult task of steering a middle course--of main- taining a reasonable standard of de- ceney and good order in public places without incurring censure as 'Nosey Parkers" or "Peeping [roms he remarked.

Rhodes Trustees Desire Change of Constitution London, Eng. Dec. 6. -- The Rhodes Trustees are shortly bring- ing a Bill before the British Parlia- ment for the amendment of their constitution, The most important change which the Trustees are proposing to make in the original conditions imposed upon themy by Cecil Rhodes' will is that they shall have the power to send their schol- ars to Universities other than Ox- ford. As an Oxford man, Mr, Rhodes selected his own University for his experiment and the Rhodes schol. ars have taken an important place in the life of the University. The Trustees, as the income at their disposal has increased, have made contaibutions to Oxford needs in order to balance the strain upon academie resources involved in the reception of the new students, and they have just built and equipped in Oxford a ¢ibrary specially de- voted to the history of the Hritish Empire. They have, therefore, no intention of departing, as a gen- eral rule, from the provision of the will that the beneficiaries should reside ard study at Oxford. Bu the needs of the individual? have to he taken into aecount, and there will ha Rhodes scholars who wish to study subje~sts for the teaching of which Oxford is nat specially equipped. A still wider aim may be traced in the desire of the Trustees 'o take powers to expend money 'in ad- to a series of water-tight bulkheads \vancing education in any Univer. | sity of the British Empire or of the United States." This power will of course, be exercised within the limits of the general purposes of the Trust, and it is provided in the Bill that such expenditure shall not reduce the number of scholaghins originally alloted to the British Do- minions and the United States, eA, CIVIO AIR PORT G MONEY Windsor, Dec. 6.--A civic airport can make money, even during the period when the public is being educated to the importance of avi- ation as a means of transport, it was disclosed by tke frst report of the Walker Air Port here, which shows an operating surplus up ta October 31 of $768.49.
