And the same Mr. lxing, who was so solicitoiis about preserving sccrccy from all but his cabinet collczigtics, ‘confessed that hc had discussed the matter with the gcncral electoral officer, an official outside of Parliament alto- gether! A quite unnecessary action, too, because the Prime Minister could have obtained all thc infomiation he sought from the Election This incident throws a more ‘revealing hgat Qff-Mr, King's nientzthty and attitude towards the public than all his eloquent speeches about democracy-s and the supremacy" of Parliament.

9O Per Cent Are Critical

unly a few days ago the Liberal press was de- claring that Premier King “takes thc dignified position that the llotisc of Commons is the place to discuss the Liovcrnmcnt's war policy." Now that Parliament has been dissolved without an)‘ chance given of discussing this or any other is- sue, whzit can be said for the dignity 0f M1‘- Kings jinsititm? More importatit than Mt- Kings loss of dignity, however, is the challenge which such action involves.

.'\s for thc criticism which lcd to the Govern- ment's rcfusal to face Parliament before obtain- ing a fresh mandate, the Sydncy POSK-Rfiftllfil (ludcpcndcntl estimates that it expresses "the opinion of fully 9o pcrccnt of thc people of Qan- ada. Our Svdnev contemporary says:

“Canada has liecn nominally at war with Ger- nianv for over 4 months. There is no ques- tionithztt thc vast itiajority of CanadianS 1.176 eagerly ilcsirous of seeing this Doiniiiioifs war effort prosecuted intensively, efficiently, and in such a nianncr as to reflect credit not only on Canada, but on the whole Empire. But the dis- heartening fact is that, ineastirctl by the King Government's rccord since last September, our war effort has fallen far below the standards

the people demand and have a right to expect.

The men who have joined the colors have not been decently equipped, and in thotisantls of cases their dependents have not been jiziid a dol- lar of separation allowance to this day.

“'l'hat Mitchell Hepburn and George DFCW forgot their political difference and united in condemning the King (jovcrnincnfs ‘war work" is not at all surprising. Nor is it any answer to the vote of censure the Ontario House pil5SCil upon the King (iovcrnnicnt to say that Ilepbtirn hates King, that Drcw is simply playing politici. that the matter in question docs not fall within thc purview of a Provincial Legislature. Ad; mittiug all this, thc predominantly important fact remains thc llcphuru resolution said wharoo per cent of thc people of Canada arc saying. that it coiisi-qiicntl_v uict with instantaneous pub- lic approval for its content, regardless of thy; political or personal motives that inspired it.

The Post-Record adds bluntly:

Princess Louise And Alberta

Commenting on thc dcalli recently of Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, Canada's lVrr/clji rc- called thc beautiful niuiiniain lake in the Rockics which was named after llcr Royal Highness. A correspondent adds the further interesting fact that the Province of Alberta also takes its nainc from her-she was Louise Caroline Alberta.

Towards the end of the Governor-Generalship of her husband, then the Marquis of Lornc, thc North-West Territories were ilividcd into four districts for postal purposes and one of these was named after the Princess. When the pre- lent Province \vas formed in i905 this ivas the name given to it.
