EDITORIAL NOTES

The street-sweeper is a‘ great institution but in a city which is occasionally "bone dry" like Char lottetown, it should be used judi- ciously. When used on dry streets l0 ilatber up the dust, which it cannot do, it is considerable of a ‘nuisance not only on the streets but in the adjoining houses as the dust floats for a long time. May we suggest that the sweeper he used only when the streets are damp. either after _a rain or alter the watering cart?

PARLIAMENTARY QRA1 ORY

(Vancouver World) A recent incident in a provin-

cial Legislature iu the East, in which s nienibsr oi Parliament

claimed that he had been misre- porisd and also that the importance of his speech had been ignored by the press, calls attention to the considerable dependent-e ofPar- liainent upon the press. Publicity is. to an increasing extent, its lite and soul. it is true that the work oi leglsiating could be carried on even if its debates and the results ot loose debates were not report- ed, but the amount of bole-and- corner work that this would lead to can hardly be estimated. And the electors would have no" idea what attitude their representatives were taking towards public ulst- ters or the arguments they had used until long afterwards. Yet it is a tact that in the eighteenth cen- tury tile British House ot‘ Com- tilons was so averse to having its debates reported that it unanimous‘ ly decided that it was a “notorious breach of it privilege oi tile House" for a reporter to furnish, or for a
