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
_ , , \ ` l ‘ `
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
