Yesterday Rev. G. C. Taylor, pastor of Zi0l\,

Church~ this City, signed on asa private in No. 5 Siegel Battery now being recruited for _overseas service. hir. _Taylor is pastor of one of the l2=\l’gCSl Pl'°5bYl°f|a“ congregations in the Maritime Provinces, has had a most promising prospect, a magnificent church, the de- votion of his people' the power of attracting large con- gregations and unllimited opportunities for doing good. All this and these he has voluntarily abandoned for a higher duty involving sacrifice. privation, separation from friends, danger, death if need be. It were un- iiccessary to call this secrifice. Viewed from any angle the word sacrifice is written large over every phase of i it. llut duty is larger than sacrifice and L\1r. Taylor has niriiifully responded to its call that has come to evcrv able bodied man in the Empire and to which every able bodied man in the Empire who has red blood in his veins has 'responded uullcss held back by other bonds of duty which could not be broken.

\\`e congratulate the reverend gentleman. In his

pastoral work he set a noble example to his flock and held up high ideals, but this is the noblest 'example he has se; and one before which many heads as young as his may well hangin shame, for there are those yet whose duty lies where Mr. Taylor has found his. His absciice from the City, temporary only we trust, will be a ‘loss to citizens of every creed but the loss will bop compensateil for in the fact that, like so niany others among us who also are being missed, he has done his duty as a man.

SIR WILI"RID’S BAD PLAY

W-111'?

The .\l:iil :mil Eiiipire says: “Tliere was not the

smallest chance that the Lapointe amendment would be adopted by the House of Coinnions. It was not introduced iii any expectation that it would be adopted. Sir \\"ilfrid Laurier, at whose hands it received at least the iinisliing touches and`\vlio made the principal speech in support of it, did not flatter himself that he could so move the House as to carry it by the force of his clriqiit-lice. Ile woultl have been greatly sur-» priscd had the vote been less adverse to the anieiid- ineiit than it was.

"The purpose 'of the ameiidnient and of Sir \\"il-

friil’s speech iii support of it was to stampede Quebec in favor of Sir Loiner (iouin ami to hring Sir Wilfrid into the liiiieliglit as the champifiii of the cause of ex- treme l"rcncli-Caiiadiaiiisni in Caiiada. lleliad no

hope of scoriiig in the I-louse of Commons- but he cal- pared to have his political activity confined to One-I

culatcd on scoring one hundred per cent. in liis_ native

In the Lapoiiitc amciulnieiit it is.~.spbmit_ted “that

vine-e of` Ontario complain” that they 'have been de- prived oi tlig privilege of having their children taught in F reiicli. Sir, Wilfrid caniiot.`hop'e to make anybody believe that the question would ever have been brought into thc House of Commons had there been nothing

oflifreneh origin. It was brought into the House to

upon, condemii and complain against a .law enacted by

voting strength of Quebec to his own political for-:

prize of a solid Quebec to be played for, Sir Wilfrid would have given the question of Ontariofs limiting French pupils to instruction by means of the English languagca wide berth. He considers that his great fund of political capital, that which gives command of support in other provinces, must be derived~from‘ Quebec.

“In his speech he posed both as the friend of mi-

norities and as the respccter of provincial rights. At the sametime as he asked the House to rap the Ontario Legislature over the knuckles and suggested to it “the .wisdom of making it clear that the privilege of the children of French parentage of being taught in their mother tongue be not interfered with," he admitted that the Ontario Legislature was competent to estab- lish Regulation,I7, and that the Dominion Govern- ment ought not to disallow the legislation. But hc had nothing whatever to say of a recent extremely flagrant case of provincial legislation that ovcrstepped provin- cial bounds. He had no resolution and no speech of censure for the law passed in the last session of the Quebec Legislature enabling Quebec municipalities to vote funds for carrying on in this province a campaign against a provision of the school law of this province. Sir Wilfred did -not deplore or condemn that out- rageous measure. Hcre was practically a declaration of war by one province against a law of another pro- vince, a law which Sir Wilfrid Laurier says was within that provincc’s jurisdiction and ought to bc disallowed. What a humiliating position the leader of the Opposi- tion thus puts himself in! Whatever sympathy he might claim to have for French-speaking people iu Ot- tario, he cannot pretend that the Province .of Quebec has any grievances, or any business in tliefpreniises. Hc regrets that the Province of Ontario Saw fit to use its autonomy as it did in the matter of Regulation 17- aiid therefore would have the House of Commons scndfa message of disapprovalto the Ontario Legis- lature, but for the Legislature of Quebec he has no re- proof, though it passed a law meddling in the most in- solcnt and unwarranted way in the affairs of this pro- vince. . -

“Evidently in Sir Wilfrid Lauricr’s political stra-

tegy it is necessary that there should bc in this Do-' minion one provincc of superior status, a province that should have some doniinance over the rest, namely, the Province of Quebec. Such a stretch of the sway and preteiisions of one province is rather more than the party system of this country will stand. If Sir_\iVil- frid is in politics to impose upon the rest of the coun- try the will that rules in Quebec, then he must be ire
