'l‘l1c~e include sub- sidu- rt; . zou o1 our represciitzttion in the llinlsv: of kriitlllliuls at four, the part he played with Mr. .\. .\. .\lacLc:ui and l\Ir. Donald Xicliol-ni i11 oliiziiniug 1l1e car ferry, and above and lieywud ull. llle claims he tnadc as a mem- bcr of tile 111o<t recent Maritime Commission, presided over by Sir Thomas White, for sub- sidy from llttaw’! on account of “fiscal need.” The other two mcm-bcrs of the Commission did not i-i-ucur in this, but the principle set forth in his lllllltirlly‘ - turf was subscqttently adopted by the Rowell-Sirois Commission.

I11 addition to all this. tl1e Chief justice has other claims to (lisrinction as a great public- spirited citizcn: he has been an outstanding ex- ample of practical integrity in political life. He values, and z1lw;1_vs did so, honour, truth, fidelity, Consistency, as being much higher and of gravcr importance tl1a11 anv mere personal advantage to himself that might ensue through following the customary political course of expediency. A fcw examples come readily to mind.

There was the question of encouragement of co-operativcs, sponsored by the Federal Depart- ment of Agriculture. Mr. Gibson was sent from Ottawa to introduce them, beginning with the egg and poultry business, ivhich hitherto had been exclusivclv in the hands of the country

‘itwitixv

merchants and their city wholesalers. The Hon. Murdock .\IacI\'innon, one of the ablest minis- tcrs of agriculture ever to hold the portfolio, gave the new movement his approval and support, notwithstanding opposition from all over the Province from-farmers, store-kcpers and whole- lalers. Two members of Mr. Mathieson’: cabi- net announced they would resign if approval was given, and other Conservatives declared not onlv would they withdraw their subscrip- tion: to party funds for the forthcoming elec- tion, but would vote Liberal. The Premier de- cided to consult others outside his government before giving his decision to the malcontents; then, when he found that notwithstanding far- mer and merchant oppositions the movement would ultimately be in the best interests of the farmer, he backed co-operatiori, losing thereby two members from his government and party subscriptions aurl votes f1'on1 a host 0f others.

'l‘hc1~e was the question of automobile pro- hibition. 'l‘l1;1t had never been a party issue, but t: one time the Legislature, of its own free will and accord, unanimously decided no car Sllﬁlllfl be permitted to run on the roads of this Province. Time wrought changes of view on the part of many, and an agitation, headed by Mr. L. E. Prowsc, Senator Prowse, Mr. W. K. Bogcrs and .\lr. (iienrge MacDonald was start- ed to have the Auto Prohibitory Act annulled. Looking’ 11- the future rather than his o\vn im- mcdizitt- prdilival inlerrsh‘, Premier Mathieson gave llt't‘tl 1o 1hr- persuasions of his political op- ponents. for each and all of them at that time were Libcr: s, and introduced a permissive bill in the. Legislature which was caried by a ma- jority‘ lil- ouc. 'l'oda_v, the active opponent's. including llon. llorztcc Wright, then president of lhc .\11li-.\ut<1111ubile Association, are the proud owners and drivers of autos.

Anollwr and more outstanding example of illllF-llllllldll]! was the introduction of thg hill [11 providi- \1>l1'\ l»; ltillllil at provincial clec- tions. hp till and including I912, the ClCClOfS voted openly. This was a tremendous advant- agt- to the administration in office. Till I911 the bulk 11f 1hr‘ llailivav vote, for instance, always wont Liberal. ihrit party being in power both at Ollatun and loin-ill)". The llordcn sweep of the party i11 11111 put fear into the political souls of the Liberal railway voters in 1912 when the provincial election took place, with the result that they prcfr-rrcil to stay at home rather than jeopardize their positions by openly voting against a party of the same political stripe as the new government in power at Ottawa.

Conservative politicians of less vision and political probily than Premier Mathieson, in- cluzliilg scvcrzil i11 hivgovcrnment, urged him not tn enact secret voting until after the 1915 cl- Ccllun. on the plea that numerous railway mcn \\’1'lll1l, und< r its nrotcction. come out and vou- azaln-t them. llnl Mr. Mathieson was adam- ant: it was part of his 1911 platform, every plank 11f which had been put into effect save this one, and he declined by any subterfuge what-

ever to abandon it, preferring to go down ‘t0 defeat rather than break his pledged promise to the electorate when he sought their sitffrage four years earlier. Secret voting became the law, and the blatbieson Government was re- turned by the skin of its teeth.

That is the sort of courageous public man the retiring Chief Justice has been, putting hon- our, truth, justice, fair dealing ahead of any personal interests or advantages; and the Pro- vince was correspondingly poorer by hts with- drawal from politics, while the Bench was d1s-_ tinctly the gainer-

On the other hand he has hosts of admirers. and the respect and esteem of all right-thinking 111011 of all parties, who 110w wish that his dafcc far nicnlc may be prolonged for many years.

City Council Budget

Civic ratepayers will be PlCZISCLl to know that the only increase this year is i11 the cutting out of the three per cent discount for quarterly pay- ments. No one should grudge this, for after all, these voluntary payments i11 advance by those who had tl1e ready whcrcivitliall to be able t0 pocket 3 per cent, were at the expense of those not so fortunately situated. By the change now introduced the City Council is practically adopt- ing the Ruml [rrinciple in taxation payuncnt, making it itiaudcitory to pay as you go, 0r suffer the consequence of additions 1'11 the shape of in- terest for procrastinators.

Finance Chairman Chandler has budgeted for a small surplus, WlllCh, necessarily, includes this windfall in the shape of wiped-out discount. It is good to be able to finance the City affairs so satisfactorily, but still it would have been more satisfactory from the taxpayers’ point of view had there been an open (liscussioit on civic af- fairs instead of behind closed doors. For i11- stuitce, no ncw works are being imdcrtakcii, and it would have been interesting to discover the saving realized thereby. Also why it should be necessary to go to the Legislature for per- mission to borrow another $25000. when 11151 year's accounts showed a sitbstantial surplus of some $7,000, and this year's estimates similarly provide for a surplus, though on a smaller scale. It is all very well for the elected representatives to satisfy themselves behind closed doors that everything is right and according to lslovle, bztl the electors who sent them there also want to know some of the evidence which satisfies them in this respect, and after all that is the (lcntocro- tic way of carrying on public affairs. It is con- ceded committees are necessary to work out details, but when that has been done, and the reports stibmittcd to the Council as a whole. 011C naturally expects that the Councillors. imlivitlnal- ly and collectively will review these in the open. as is done in Parliament. and wherever (lemo- cratic government is geiuiinclyi effective.

This notwithstanding the .\l:1yor and City Council, and especially the Finance Committee and its chairman, deserve hearty congratula- tions on presenting such a satisfactory budget in these days of stress and strain i11 business as well as in aflllllfllSlfilllflll of public affairs.

Mrs. Humphry Ward, English novelist, died this date 1920; was a granddaughter of the famous Dr. Arnold of Rugby, public school re- former, and the greatest 01f English schoolmast- ers; his remarkable influence over his pupils is well depicted by T. Hughes in Tom Brown's School Days; Mrs. Ward, daughter of the equally distinguished Matthew Arnold, Eng- lish poet and critic, married Thomas Humphry Ward, of Oxford; translated “Amiel's journal lntime", and three years later in 1888 published her first great novel " Robert Elsmere" which won immediate popularity; numerous novels followed, the most outstanding being issued from the press in 1905, entitled “The Marriage of William Ashe",- \Irs. Ward was recognized as the last of the great Victorian novelists: “All things change, crceds. and philosophies and outward systems-but God remains!”

Who would care to live in Montreal under the conditions outlined by Miss Beith to a Chil- dre11’s Aid meeting in that city. “From lack 0f any available dwellings, families have been forc- ed into the congestion of one-room apartments, some paying as high as $32 a mouth for this room," she said. “Others are housed in base- ments, stores and even in factory buildings. One fantily is paying $48 a month for a. one-room store with no usuablc sanitary conveniences other than one cold \vater tap. In a factory» building, five families are now living under conditions worse than any gypsy camp with no privacy other than a bcavcrboard partition be- twccn the families with even the outlet for the stove pipes through the window. Yet these families each pay $15 a 1111111111." The associa- tion understands that some action is lwitig taken in this case but the families have been there since October.

CHARLOTTETOWN WINTER ' SIDEWALKS

Slr,—Pe1-haps the most Important deduction m be drawn from the tables of snow falls Elven In mv 1N1; letter, Ls that the average depth of individual snow fall: In.Cha1-lbtto- town during the four winter 111011318 1s on y two and three-QﬂBFY-e!‘ inch"- Of course, In some years there will Ibe heavy storms particularly after drifting with heavy winds. but this greater depth will have the effect of bringing down the average depth of snow of the other stoma. Now, there are two up-m-date methods of clearing snow from alde- walks, viz.. by a plow for heavy storms, and a circular flbre brush, ‘similar to that used on roadways In summer. for light storms. In both cases. n tractor I; used In order to obtain ample speed, so that a lveu area may be covered In the ort- est possible time. The old-fashloned horse-drawn, hand-driven snow plow is now regarded as suitable only for small communities. having a few mlles of sidewalks.

The circular brush set at a. M1810 and extending sIx Inches or more outside of the walk, has an advant- age over the olow in that It clears all the snow from the walk, right down to the asphalt surface. The plow on the other hand must be set at least. one inch above the hard and uneven asphalt surface. Some curbs also project above the Ievel. Under this svstem a laver of snow is left. 211111. subjected to sunshine. raln or tiighet temperatures. and when frozen at night. a hard layer of Ice i5 formed.
