THE CANADIAN LIBERALS

1t appears that the liberal party Of
Canada, which is now in control of the
government, is expecting To secure some
advantages from the change i'm the Brit
ish ministry which was denied the Do
miniOn by the last cabinet The liberal
party is hoping for certain concessions
in the interest OF trade with the mother
country, which if granted would result
TO their material benefit and perhaps to
some detriment TO the United States. but
il is by no means certain that their ex-
pectation in this respect will he met
one thing, at all events, is assured
and that is that the new British ministry
will be found vigorously opposing the
Chamberlain proposition for a change in
the British fiscal system which cOntem-
plates preferential treatment for the
products OF the colonies. This scheme
has found a good deal OF favor in the
Dominion and its advocates have
counted upon Canadian support but the
Bannermsn cabinet is understood TO be
| uncompromisingly opposed to the propo-
sition and 1t may he doubted II it will
make any Of the concessions which the
liberal party is said TO be hoping for.
In that event there may he witnessed an
increasing sentiment in Canada i'm favor
OF independence.

SUPPORTING THE PREstprNr

A very important addition to the sup.
port of President Rooscvelts demand
for railway rate regulation was made
few days ago when Mr.. Cassatt, presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania railroad, Wis
tied Washington and made il known in
a very public way that he is in favor OF
the policy which is being advocated by
the administration. Mr.. Cassatt is one
of the most influential railroad men i'm
the country and when he takes posi-
ton on any question relating TO the in
tcrests and welfare of the transporta-
ton interests OF the country it com
mands serious attention throughout rail
way circles. Recently the corporation of
which he is the head has announced the
abolition OF passes after the beginning
of the new year and already other rail
roads are following this meritorious ex
ample. Some of them are pretty sure
TO do the same thing in regard TO the
policy of rate regulation.
According to Washington dispatch
to the Philadelphia Press, all the big
railroads Of Pennsylvania will stand
with the senators of that state. both of
whom are committed to the policy of
governmental rate regulation, in sup
port of President Roosevelt's policy. 1t
is well understood that Senator Knox is
largely responsible for the declaration
Of that policy, which he formulated as
attorney general, and now it is declared
that Senator Penrose is fully committed
to it. The latter is quoted as saying:
You may say for me that | am with
railway rate question and | will do all
| can to secure legislation that will put
their policy into effect" II is stated
that Mr.. Penrosc expressed confidence
that congress would respond to the
presidents recommendation and also
that the big railway systems of the east
would be found favorlng such legisla-
ton. 1t appears that these railroads
have become convinced that the PROPOSE
ton of Mr.. Roosevelt is eminently just
and fair and their only anxiety is that
oppressive or ruinous laws be prevented.
As there Is no suggestion of laws Of
this character, President Roosevelt hav-
ing been particularly careful to point
out that nothing of the kind was in
| tended or contemplated apprehension
on this score ia entirely unwarranted.
With the railroads OF Pennsylvania
supporting the policy advocated by
| President Roosevelt. it is only ques-
| ton of time when other railroads will
| fall into line. There probably will be
| a somewhat prolonged discussion over
the matter in congress, but there is very
good reason to believe. from the present
aspect of the situation, that the legisla-
! ton recommended by the president will
be finally enacted.

REFORM IN RAILROAD MAPS.
Proposed Exhibition of the Curves of
the system.

Desnes Weekly.
1t will be found, we doubt not, that II
pays TO tell the truth even in railroad
advertising, and Mr.. f. II. Hartman has
Just established valuable precedent in
this respect for the railroad system which
he controls and he deserves credit for il.
1t has been the general practice among
railroads to print maps OF their lines in
such way as to make it appear that
they are all short cuts" or air lines,
between the great centers connected by
them, or through which they pass, which,
OF course, is generally untrue and often
seriously misleading TO the travelling pub
lie Mr.. Hartman has ordered his pas
senger departments to print hereafter
maps OF the various Hartman roads show
ing the exact course OF the rails, whatever
1t may be. Circles, zlgzags and curves are
to be represented exactly as they exist. If
this means the ushering in of an era OF
truthfuness in the business and profess
sional world all around we shall rejoice
and be glad. When newspapers begin to
tell the truth about their circulation, diplo-
mats become models of veracity, politicians
emulate the example OF George Washing
ton with his Ratchet and people stop lying
about the amount OF their taxable property,
w shall expect the millennium to heave
in sight shortly after.

BUSINESS REFORM.
tremendous RefOrmntivc Force of
Public Opinion"

wall street journal
James G. Garfield, commissioner of cor
porations, in his annual report, says:
Current events have strikingly illustrated
the tremendous reformative force Of public
opinion without the Intervention OF the
law" In other words, there would be need
Of little new legislation il there were a
healthy public opinion all the time at work
As Mr. Garfield says not only Is legislation
the formal expression OF public opinion
but moral standards I'm business and fuIes
OF commercial Intercourse are created and
sustained by public opinion
But there can be no adequate and healthy
public opinion without publicity II is nee
essary that the public shall have accurate
and full information in order 10 form a
sound opinion the basis Of action
Therefore, publicity is the FIRST essential
OF business reform. Give US that and the
amount ~ new law that will be required
will be small indeed.

NO TINE FOR DoDGfNG.

Commissioner Brunlng introduced his
resolution TO reduce the price Of meals
served to prisoners in the county Jail
before the board three weeks ago. The
price fixed by the resolution-30 cents
per days still decidedly excessive, but
the proposed reduction would effect a
saving of fully $1,000 year and relieve
the taxpayers to that extent from an
Imposition to which they have been sub
iected for many years.
The resolution is still pending in COM
mittee of the whole and there appears
to be no disposition on the part Of the
members to push it through. In view of
the fact that there is to be a change in
the incumbent at the sherif's Office
within the next twenty days, this is the
proper time to make the change. IL
the pressure against the reduction is
hard to resist now, il will he very much
harder to resist after the new sheriff is
indicted into office.
1t is the manifest duty of the present
board to make the change and not to
shirk its responsibility by inaction. The
members Of the present board should
meet the issue squarely. II there is any
valid reason why the county Jail graft
should be perpetuated. let those who de-
fend it or uphold it, stand up and give
their reasons why. II no good reason
can be given why the change should not
he made the board should act without
further delay.
