The decision of the Liberal govern
ment in Canada to dissolve Parliament
and ask the voters to pass on the ques-
ton Of approving The reciprocity agree
ment with the United States seems 10
have been made in the hope of eXpcdlt-
Ing action. The Liberal majority i'm the
House of Commons is i'm much the same
prcdicament as was the majority in the
United States Senate which favored the
passage Of the Canadian reciprocity bill.
II cannot act without the consent of the
minority. The Canadian House is also
one of the most august deliberative
bodies o. earth and the ObstructionistS
nc Ottawa are just rs adept as those at
Washington i'm using the privilege Of
unrestricted debate aS Il weapon with
which to hold up the majority ana eX-
tort concessions.
The Laulier ministry had. therefore.
to choose between facing an indefinite
siege of obstruction in the present Par
lament and taking popular referen-
Gum morally binding on both the minor
ity and the majority in a new Parlia-
ment
The only political obstacle TO dissolu-
ton has been the postponemcnt it Will
cause in the redistribution of representa-
tiop under the 1911 census. The Western
provinces expect to gain about twenty
seats through a reapportionment, and II
a new House Of Commons is elected this
year on the existing basis OF representa-
tor the Western provinces will proba'
bly have 10 wait four years longer be-
fore obtaining the increase of power TO
which they are entitled. That delay
NAV cause some irritation and would
undoubtedly cost the Liberal adminiSlra-
ton votes in the West, except for the
fact that that section Of Canada has
most To gain from reciprocity and is
likely 10 blame the Conservative OBJ
gtructionists rather than the Laurier
government for the postponemcnt of the
rcapportionment. II would be more
serious for thc Liberals if the section 10
be deprived for time Of Increased rep
rcscntati0n were one ia which the oppo-
si,lon 10 reciprocity had any natural
strength. The Liberal party exhibits
confidence and courage in forcing II new
election 1T this time and there Is reason

the subway is really one great electrical

sand tons OF coal, 10 develop 100000
horsepower and more than 70 per cent OF
the electrical energy is converted into neat

BY AEROPLANE TO THE POLES.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The present practical Development
OF aviation makes It certain that the III
polar regions can now be easily reacheo'
The advantage 10 science and learning
would be great, and this would practcaly
finish the exploration Of the earth, the sur
face of which will not have been traVersed
until the antipodes have been reached
Aviation renders perfectly practicable that
which was before seeming imposslDiliiS
II is proper TO American genius ana en-
tcrprise TO organize a bi-polar cluD anu
proceed promptly to the finishing OF the
exploration of the earth. A properly fur-
nlshed expedition could proceed by way OF
Kennedy Channel about 10 degrees west
Of Greenwich. which is tho only feasiple
route to the North Pole. Such an eXped-
ton. well provided with the present AVA
ton facilities, could accomplish such an
enterprise. The southern expedition SINH
Iarlv equipped, should bear southwark at
about % degrees west from Greenwich or
a little westward from Cape Horn. DOG
sledges could be utilized, particularly IN
the northern expedition; it would he dllh-
cult to provide dogs for the southern eA-
pcditon. Hence, aviation has already
made il practicable to reach the. poles.
These expeditions should he sent out sinful
taneously. and thus finish the exploration
Of the earth.

yYyEs 4yD YHE SHERuly SCI

9INES AND THE SHERHIN SGT
The public will generally sympathizc
with Judge Archbald'S view that the
wire pool defendants deserved no more
serious punishment than fines without
necessarily approving in fun the rca-
cons which the Judge gave for denying
The District Attorneys plea for jail
sentences. Reasons for clemency GER
aanly existed. The defendants had vol
unfairly abandoned their pool some time
AGO and they had entered the practical
equivalent of plea of guilty. These
facts alone were sufficient Ia justify the
court i'm showing consideration.
Some Of the reasons assigned by the
judge. however. seem 10 suggest rather
too much tenderness for such an offence
If they are 10 loo accepted it will be
difficult to send TO Jail that really re
sponSiblc man whose sentence is so
long overdue The Judge said: This is
'what you might call q trade offence.
1T is an offence which 10y the act of
'Congrcss is against the interests Of the
business world But the formation of
a. monopoly or Il combination in re-
straint of trade is something more than
a trade offence II is an offence
against the people. If mOn0pOlieS were
10 be permitted. without regulation or
restriction, the people who consume their
products would be at their mercy. Nio-
lation OF the Sherman act is not. as the
Judges language might imply. mere
Technical offence. II is a real offence
and one that may be very dangerous TO
the public.
Moreover the judge said. II seems
'to me ! am not going out Of the way
"when ! say that just what was meant
"by this law has remained in consider
fable uncertainty mp TO this time" II
this view is TO he accepted there can be
no Jail sentences for offences against
The Sherman act committed prior to the
recent decisions Of the Supreme Court.
Judge Archibald seems 10 hold this view,
for he says: From this time on there
will be no excuse" But if Il criminal
law cannot be effectively enforced until
its meaning has been entirely cleared
IL by the courts the administration Of
Justice will be in sorry way. Doubts
still exist about the Sherman act Every
new decision will afford additional light
as to It's exact application. Moreover.
The doubt that existed as to the Sherman
act until the recent decisions were
handed down IS not the best excuse in
the world for its violation. The uncer
tainty was chiefly whether Judge La
con,be's decision that the act forbade
every combination, no matter how
trivial was correct or not. A man who
has the mistaken notion that ii statute
& much more drastic than Il really is
has not much excuse for violating IL.
We do not mean 70 imply that these
,,,rticuiar defendants may not have hon
,stlv supposed for time that they were
