Many cities in Canada and else-

where ninke the right to vote depend-l ent upon the payment of taxes. Inf

coiisequence of this practice we read* from time to time of tive thousand..

ten thousaiiii or more citizens hcrcg or tluri- in sonic Uuiiadiaix city who* ure noi pi-i'miltc\l to vote iii ii ci\icl

vlrctioii liecniise their taxes are not`i paid. .lust now, nccordiiig to The Star, sonic :I0,0oil citizens of Montre-i al are under this disability-an army. of the adult uinsciilinc population de- |,ii.'ed of any voice in civic ntlairs. Tins corulition of things naturally raises the question whether the tak-

ing: :iivay of the right to vote be- cause of unpaid taxes is either politic or just.

in civic life it is the duty of the

oriiiiiary citizen to puy taxes and al- so to vote. It he neglects or refuses to pay his luwfiil taxes there are le- gal rein:-dies for thc correction of his fault. Tho tux can be collected with costs in thi' courts, and it is thei clear duty of the civic authorities to so collect the taxes where the per- sons in default are able but unwill- ing to pay. If such taxes are not collected it argues not only n neglect on the part of the rntcpayer, but ul- so a neglect on the part of the auth- orities, \\`hy then deprive the citizen of the right to vote because of nl fault which is in part thc fault ofthe city itself? '

lf it is contended that the produc-|

tion of u tax receipt as a prelimin-' ary to voting is productive of good in stiniulatiiig the payment of taxes,

The London Standard of Empire

quotes the following lines from nlate English iicwspaper as illustrating the notions and stories that are still cur-

rent in England with regard to Can- ailat- ,

“l’rcparatio1i for the endurance of evtrt-:uc cold forms part of the edu-il cation of the natives of Northernl Canada. The boys .when very young are first whipped in order to make their flesh tingle, and then sent to bathe in the half-frozen rivers. As. they _grow older they are made to liel out oi doors at night with mil r-loilir-s on, sometimes for ri wcelt or so nt ai strctcli. Tlic noiiscqiiciicc is that either they ilic or become so hardened ns to be able to go naked in any weather without the slightest <lisc<»n1fort." -

.\l:irk Twain, on reading thc story

of his own death, rcniarkod that it ivas mucli exaggerated. ,As much might be snid of the above account of Cnnadiaii iiiethoils of rearing and lizirileiiiiig children. llur renders will :igrec with us in dcclariiig it iniiccu- ri-_tin The whlppiiig of young boys licfore their compulsory bath in the icv \\'fitoi~s is iiretty much out of fasliioii in recent years. It cuiiiiot, l.i~ .said to lic nt all extensively prac- tised noir, however much in \'ogu1:-it

might lii=.\'e been n quarter of 11 crn-‘ tiiry ago.

The some inaccuracy is to be noted

in rogni-cl to the older boys being made to lie out of doors, with no

surdity. 'The boy' in such ease woulf usnully'lie more or less “huddlec up," so to speak, so that the phrase “at a stretch" gives an altogether erroneous impression. No boy of prop cr discretion would stretch himself

out at full length when lying naked in the snow, with the therniometer at 40 below zero.

If some of our more or' less hard-

ened izoys could get hold of the Eng- lish editor who wrote and printed such tliings about them rind theii country it is safe to say he would be greeted with "no minstrel rap- tiires." He might even be consigned to the fntc of those who will not vote tor our favorite candidate, and perish "unwcpt, nnhonored and un- sung.” i
