To the I leciors_of Ward Five

this ournal impu ning the recent decis

uttack it was contended that the MBE

S (li that the wife of n person charged

trate was altogether wmugin deciding

with an offence against the Prohibition Act 1000 is not competent or corupallable as a witness at the trial of such charge; 12) in setting free a prisoner brought before him for interfering with the police in the discharge of their duty under thc Prohibition Act;nnd that in each of these cases there wusn miscarriage of

justice.

These were, however, attributed to

error cf judgment on the part of the .\ingistn\te. The motives cr integrity of ilu- Magistrate or thegenerul conduct of his Court were not in terms attacked. ll is also tobenbserved that Lex had not before trim at the time of writing the full text of thcjudgrnent delivered by the Magistrate in regard tothe status of the wifi- rw u. witness, which reasoned judrrrncnt, strongly fortified by citations was afterwards printed in full in The Patriot. This is apparent from the first letter of Lex In which referring to the two

judgments in question were used tht- quaii‘ying words “lf correctly reported."

We rcgrct that with the letters of Let

in the Guardian and the replies and

rejointicrs thereto printed in another papcr, such readers as had notthe oppor- tunity of per using what was written on both sides cannot hc iuliy informed as to the authorities and citations brought into

the controversy, but the correspondence \vas too voluminous for this journal ic

publish thc whole of it. We also regret that the lauguagc used by Lex should have come so near, if indeed it did not cross the border line between fair criti~ and that public censure to which no court cf justice ought ever to be subjected.

\\'hethe1~thc Magistrate was right or

wrong in his decisions upon tneiegal and constitutional questions which it became his duty to rule upon, The Guar-

ordered reductions of 25 to H) per cent in

freight rates, and the railways are ‘ contesting the reduction in the courts. ,

Wisconsin has taken action in another

way by increasing the taxes upo_n railway companies, and Indiana and Nebraska, are contemplating like action. Again, Indiana, Michigan and illinois are likely to follow 0hio's action in regard to reducing passenger fares to two cents, 3 and a bill for that purpose has been introduced in the Maryland Legislature. This is what our neighbors ara doing. ln

Canada-Eastern Canada_ at least- I passenger rates are maintained on a three cent basis and froiirhf. rates being advanc- , ed on the Government Railways. This Is|

clearly a retrograde move. i

THOSE PSCRUTINIES.

The plentlfri crop of civic scrutinies was speedily blasted as by the east wind yesterday. Not one of them was possible of being carried on, for the machinery

prescribed by law to that and is wanting. Q . and if scrutinies could have been carried I on, the votes under challenge were so few that in no case eould they huveunsoated o Mayor or Councillor elect, or have given u defeated cnntlidate n seat. We ure nut ciearasto the legal validity of the City Clerk's action. He has simply cnt a Gorrlian knot. And he was right, as the knot could not he untied. “The will of the people is the supreme la\v." The will of the people unmistakeably indicated whom the people wanted for Mayor audi . Llounclllors, and thcy will all be sworn in. if thc vallnlty of this action is hereafter

challenged the Legislature may bei depended on to giv cit sanction.

WHAT ABOUT THIS. '

Ti\c following figures are taken from

the Dominion Government report for i005.

The profits carncd for the previous year

per $]I`.t)i),00 of insurance in force by the different Life Insurance Co's here mentioned arer- Canada Life 85.75 Confederation $3.00. Federal S3.3i).< Great West $3.45. imperial $2.20. Manu l fnoturcrs $4.ii.‘l. Mutual of Canada 80.27. North American 81.55, Sun 84.03. Lori- noN& I.Ar~'c/isllrrrr: $l0.Hl. The profits accumulated pcr $1000 on the business ln forca by the same Cc‘s are:- Canada Life$lil,:'>i!,Confederaiion $l8.(B Federal $3.48. Great West Si-4.10. Imperial $7.34. Manufnc\urers$l2.l7. Mutual of

Canada $iD.(l7. North Amerlcan|l4.15 Sun $13.76. i.oNnoN 8.: I./..\'t‘as|t1Ri-J 393,02. I

The reason this roideiinblc English Con

an show such a difference in profits I

compared to the Canadian Co's. is ' quite l apparent to any person who Ttnows. Anticipating the action of the llotninion Government and the reductions that would occur in interest rates,

the management of this Co. set aside a lung sum in it-D2 and later again ini thumb provldin

applied a portion of the profits at each pu rwluaétp uixgod stewards strengthen- D Q I- l"\'E .
