The alternative is that the Comlnissioners-set out with all the prccouceivctl notions of the little band of devoted sentinicntalists—lcd by the old Toronto Globe-who thrust this inquiry upon a government which never seemed very eager ill the matter. And that, suggests our Ottawa con- temporary after a study of the 400~page book that contains their official findings, is closer to the truth. It is the very report the sob-sisters wanted. The Commissioners agree that they had no authority to investigate or report upon provin- cial institutions, bilt that didn't deter them from doing so. and they recommend a conference of the Dominion with the provinces to arrange a “cclltralizatiotW of the penal system. They want ruore authority for the Dominion alld less for the provinccs—admit that recommended re- forms cannot be made effective otherwise-and TCCCllf"(lCVPlOpillflllS have shown how little in- clincd are the provinces to surrender the least. bit of their authority.

The window blind was one of a dozen or more on a chair in the kitchen porch where a. regular customer was given breakfast. The house-wife was momentarily ab- sent when the customer departed. An hour later, when the windows were ready. the blinds were sought. One was missing. The regular on his next visit was told that no more food would be given out be- cause the blind was missing.
