Witl the First Metlioclist Church beginning atftlie €n_\|l<:N'l‘ BILL An important measure has just passed 'through Committee in the Senate and has been delaved in its further passage in or- der that the leader of the Senate. Sii‘ -_laii-‘cs Lougheed, might have an opportunity of discussing with the government the amendineizits which are of a rather drastic character. The proposed changes are two-fold. Up to the year 19422 a judge might retire or be retired for iref- ficiency after serving for fifteen years and he was retired on two-thirds of his salary. It was found that some judges remained in office after they had ceased to be eflici- ent, and with a view to remedying that condition of things an Act was passed pro- viding that under certain circumstances the judges, after continuing in office, in one case for twenty years and in the other for twenty-five years, should be allowedto retire on full pay. The effect unfortunate-` ly has proved that the cure is worse than the disease,-that, whereas previously an occasional judge remained on the Bench when he should have retired 'and accepted a premium, since the passing of that Act almost every judge feels that it is his duty to his family and himself to remain on the Ben_ch until he can retire on full pay, whether or not his mental or bodily vigor has been impaired- The proposed amend~ ment repeals these sections of the 1903 Act, but it is construed that the repeal shall not affect the pension of any judge who has resigned or has been retired before the passing of this amending Act. As to the effect on the judges now on the Bench it is intended that they shall come under the new conditions as it is held they are like any other civil servants when they accept office and take the risk that the law may lie Patriot said yesterday: “There is no war party and no peaci party in Canada. - The nation heart ant soul is in the struggle to stay to the end and Liberals must not allow themselves tf be fooled into thinking -that the defeat 0" the Borden Government would mean a let ting _up of our war efforts-a cowardlj _ Sllllklllg fl'0lll til(-`! lleld." ;'e"kS _“r‘_`i___l _lug li on lm me last wild ffoivers and fields oi' waviiit' H - _ . _ , . . _ _ ay. i in on iero were so many . - _ ` _ _ VV1n'the'W3-1 Llbel als, thlnk dllfelenl' icotch and .\_lortliern .(.‘_ountry fricnils_(Om 4 \» and have boldly said so.
