ADMINISTRATIVE REFORM.

The present political confusion has produced number of
books which aim to point remedy for political corruption and
boss rule
Mr. George Arthur Sedgwicks book "The Democratic Mis-
take" (Scribners) aims to do this.
But his book which holds government science points in
almost opposite direction from that urged by the authors of the
vast majority of other books.
They would enforce in representatives legislative and admin
strtve response to public demands by increasing the duties
of the voters; he by decreasing them.
They aim at reform by changing methods of legislation and
comDcatng methods Of elections he by changing methods of
administration and simplifying those of election.
In other words instead of advocating all sorts of laws to put
control in the hands of the people, he states that the of
The boss depends almost entirely upon the Democratic Mis-
fake' of numerous elections at short intervals
Without these he argues that there would not be sufficient
spoil to give the boss for existence for
subsistence that IL few officials and law makers elected
for long they would be independent of machine because
machine would find paid to exist and they would become
directly responsible to the electorate instead of to the espon
sihle boss.

them what so many policemen were
doing there. He didn't seem to know,

Monica: You hardly need such a

dinary mercolized wax will help you
more than any or all of them: It will
gradually absorb the withered, diseol-

advised by P L. Williams general at

the opinion that the order will cause
great inconvenience to the travelling
public, is the experience Of the mem
bers Of the railway commission.
The order was issued after the com
mission had taken evidence on a COM
plant filed by citizens showing that
the company failed TO observe the
schedule in the departure Of its trains
between Ontario and Vale. It direct
ed the company to cause its trains to
depart on time but II contained a pro-
viso that when this should be impos-
sible because Of connections that had
to be made that 45 minutes delay
might be allowed. Now the general
attorney expresses the opinion that
this will cause the public inconveni-
ence and wants to know II it should
prove more of hlndrance than help

action.
The commission is unable TO share
his gluoomy view of the situation but
