Notice of/a further-increase in fire insurance rates was received by some local businessmen last week, One merchant has had his rate raised from $1.00 to $1:44 in the last' year with no change in the conditions of. the property. This sort of thing will-go on just as long as the people sit supinely by and make no protest. Not long ago Sir William Hearst, speaking in Toronto, stated that since confederation $here has been paid in Canada for fire in- surance 8197,000,000 over. and above the sums that have been returned for losses.-- In the face of such a record the Government permits the Underwriters' Assoc- jation to go on taking increasing tolls from the people. Why should the Board of Trade not become actively interéSted in this important question of insurance rates? Here are the aims of the re- ceutly organized Property Own- er's Protective League of Hamil- ton: "To conserve the interests of the property owners and the citizens of Hamilton generally, and ta co-operate in all that stands for the efficient adminis- tration and necessary expansion of the city of Hamilton. And all activities are to be directed with the one object of being construe- tive and helpful Its) membi are expected to use every oppor tunity to collect data and in- formation bearing on municipal problems, particularly the §n- aneial side of civie affairs, 30 that all may have the opportunity of discussing them freely and in- lelligently.") Such an organiza- lion actively participated in. by the ratepayers would be of greal benefit to the municipal adminis tration of any Lown or city. The weaknesses of the municipal governipent of today may largely be traced to the ignorance or in- difference of the citizens con- cerning civie affairs. The course outlined by this organization has potentialiti of great good for Hamilton and its progress will be watched with much interest A striking instance of jnitia- live in teaching ix givens by a teacher who writes to the New- market Express as follows:--My method of teaching kindness t animals has the advantage of in no way interfering with the regu- lar routine of my school, Tw days in the week all our lessons are conducted with reference to subject.

The results of my' in- structions have been and are exceedingly satisfactory. My ideas have deeply impressed my pupils and have exercised he best influences upon their lives and character Ever since I in- troduced the subject to my. school, I have found the children less disorderly, but instead more gentle and affectionate towards each other. They feel more and more kindly towards animals and have entirely given up the cruel practice of robbing nests and killing small birds.

A Revealing The Globe), The Hon, W. A. Charlton, M.P., contributes to the eulogies of Sir Wilfrid Laurier one' which con- tains a revealing flash as to the frid Laurier's refusal to join a Coalition Government when urg- ed to do so by many of his old political associates. Writing lo the Globe, Mr. Charlton says: "I have always had the most pro- found admiration for Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and regarded him as Canada's foremost statesman. During the long session of 1917 we had many interviews about the serious question before par- liament, and one day, after 5 ing had a personal interview with the Prime Minister, Sir Robert Borden, I went to Sir Wilfrid and urged him to join Sir Robert and form a National Government. Finally Sir Wilfrid said: ""Chariton, you do what you think. right, [ know you will, I live for the peace ofCanada. I must hold the French.
