The late Lord Salishury never hit it off with Lord Randolph, When he was asked by a friend if he would take Lord Randolph back, the Tory Premier's sardonic reply was, "Had you ever a carbuncle on the back of , your neck?" The future of Lord Robert Cecil is one of the problems which are in- triguing politicians today, His con- cordat with Viseount Grey marks a stage in his political evolution. Lord Robert's career hears a strong resemblance to Mr, Gladstone's, Both ware brought up Tories; like the old- er statesman, Lord Robert is a strong High churchman. They have both | alike heen, in Macaulay's phrase, "the rising hopes of stern and un- bending Toryism." z There is the same fundamental gerfousness in hoth which makes a | strong appeal to the English people, | Will the working of the same forces bring Jord Robert also to th® lead- ership of the Liberal party? PROTECTION OF BIRDS, Liverpool Weekly Post: Lanca-4 shire has taken its place as one of the strongest counties in the compe- | tition instituted by the Royal Soel- I ety for the Protection of Birds. A very satisfactory feature is that the teams represent schools not only in the beautiful region bordering West- morland, but others ig mining and manufacturing districts gr 'up jon high, desolate moorland; and not {only rural schools, but some in or hard by large towns, Here we have the Lancashire "grit" showing itself; and when the countryside is thor- oughly well represented, and more teams come in from county boroughs like Southport and Barrow, Manches- ter, Liverpool, Oldham, Blackburn and Preston, there will, in deed, be i formidable rivalry for the County | Shield, and distinction that will | rouse the spirit of Yorkshire and | Westmorland. { i ---- AN ANTI-BRITISH GANG. { St. Catharines Standard: The American Association for Reecogni- tion of the Irish Republic plans to assemble 5,000 of its cohorts aL a national convention in Washington in April, to which Michael Collins, Arthur Grifith and Eamon de Val- era will be invited. The recogni- tionists claim to have a million mem- bers in the United States, and they | boast that their organization will re- main "on the job until Ireland is a republic in fact as well as theory. It is just such anti-British organiza- tions, sheltered behind the Stars and | Stripes, which are the chief obstacle Lin the way of the restoration of peace in Ireland. { : THE CURIOUS THING. | Woodstock Sentinel-Review: An { enthusiastic newspaper friend of A. | C. Hardy, of Brockville, who was re- cently appointed to the senate, en- umerates among his qualifications, {that he is the son of his father, "s was formerly Premier of jOatario, that he is the son-in-law of a man who was formerly a strong personal [friend of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and {that he once suffered defeat in an election campaign. No doubt he has | other and more important qualifica- | tions. The eurious thing is that { those mentioned should be regarded as qualifications for the semate. | WORK PAYS Howe's Monthly: There is noth- {ng so true as that work pays. If (your roof leaks, you'may replenish it; if your crop was poor last sum- mer, you may improve it this sum- mer, with more care and effort. Everything in life teaches the im- ortance of work. If you are a wood- cutter, and your axe is dull, a little work at the grindtsone will improve it. It is all a question of industry: of taking pains, of being thrifiy, and earning the respect of those wits whom you are associated. But the ory now is for less work. The rem ody is more work.

The Act provides that if the householders give notice In writing to the Board that they are unable through lack of finances to comply with the order, the Board can proceed with the work and have it charged up through the taxes to the property owners. The Board took the view that this was one way to remedy existing con- ditions as found by members of the Council and the inspector on a recent tour of that distriet, Dirty Joe Condemned Inspector Palmer reported to the Board that on Thursday of this week he bad stopped two loads of dirty ice being brought into town by a teamster for use In a local store, Notice had been rerved on the teamster to bring In no more ice of thiz character, and on the storekeeper Lo have any of this fce already put in storage removed, The Board authorized the inspector to take further action in this matter if deemed necessary.

Just which half he is called depends upon who is doing the calling. Wee wifey considers him her lesser half and hubby thinks he is the greater half. So we'll sit on the fence and not stale our opinion regarding hubby's fraction, for then we might make an infraction upon somebody's feel- ings and that would never do -- us any good. And it might get us in Dutch -- which reminds us that Duteh wives accord their husbands the heavy half in the household do- main. According to some of the jokes in the world press, friend husband is hardly one quarter of the home team. In all quarters of our land jokes about husbands create laughter for whole audiences when "Topics of the Day" Films screen this fun.
