EDITORIAL P A G E

The cursed, prying newspapers have rubbed all the paint off If the lords want to look as purple as they feel, they must keep out of sight more. That may be. Heaven forbid that I should contradict Ar mold Bennett, but my own opinion is that they have a better reason than that. l have never met a lord yet who would admit that he was an anarchronism, and that he should have gone out with draw bridges and boats and armour. On the contrary, the young bloods are all for the mediaeval revival. They had a tournament this summer you must have seen it in the news papers-when the fine old custom of mounting two base-burner coal stoves on horseback and then mix ing them up in a head-on collision was carried out with great eclat It was a wonderful picture, am told. They had a Queen of Beauty and all that sort of thing. The tilting was doosed good, and one of the knights Mica Face, or some name like that-got a real jab between the ashpan and the gizzard, and was nearly choked to death before they could disconnect the boiler. At least, that's the way I got the story from the plumber" To some this may seem as humorous as anything Mark Twain ever penned. We hesitate to so describe it because of the pain we feel that anything of the kind should have appeared in a Canadian paper, and especially a Toronto pa per. But that is nothing to some of the things Gadsby writes. Read this; If you can without shedding tears
 for the degeneTacy of Canadians and just fancy what the lords will think of us as a people: "A noble earl complained the other day that the House of Lords was hung up
 So it is-hung up by the seat of its
 pants, a posture both absurd and un
 comfortable The first step toward
 reform will be to take the hook out
 of the helpless Lords trousers and
 let him stand up again. The only
 seat he feels safe in now is his
 country seat, and he's not too sure labout that"

Tonight will finish another year
 It has been a long time since the world began, and it will probably be just as long before 1t is finished and rolled up like a scroll and filed away with the innumerable dead planets that have gone before. This may be the last chance that the writer will have of wishing you a happy New Year, because life is short and time is fleeting; so in the name of the Skagway Daily Alaskan he does so wish it for you, and with an earnestness which seems almost a prophecy, he believes that you will have the happiest year of all your lives.

That some of our Canadian friends do not look with reverence upon the institution of Lords in the old country, may be inferred from the Victoria Daily Times which, notwithstanding its English pro cliviues, has immediately caught the humor in the following:
 We have the gravest fears for the future of the Toronto Star. Not only does that otherwise excellent newspaper refuse to think Imper- iaIly," but 1t has actually sent a mere Canadian over to the old Country who has the temerity to make light of, nay. actually to cast ridicuIe upon, that once strong but descrepit Imperial institution the British House of Lords. Gadsby is the name of the scribe who writes in the Star, and he is a talented tel' low, whose productions the Times would confess an unbOunded admir- ation for if they were exercised up, on anything but the noble lords who fancy themselves the chief corner stone of our own cherished Imper' iaIism. Just think of the following appearing in Canadian newspape published in that stronghold of Toryism, Toronto: AS Arnold Ben nett said the other day, the nobil' fly racket is getting played out

The collier Leonidas, which left An
napolis at noon on wednesday for the
Navy Yard in this city, bearing relics
of the battleship Maine, Is tied up
somewhere in the ice jam in Chesa-
peake bay or in the river.
Nothing has been heard Of the Leon
idas since the GOLFERS departure from
Annapolis.
Commander Watts said today that
while no word had been received OF
the collier, no fear is felt. 1t Is be-
lieved the ice jams in the bay and IN

Of more than thirty hours
At the Navy Yard 1t was said the
Leonidas had not been sighted, al

Because Of the ice JAM" said Com
mander Watts, ''the Leonidas will be
able to make very little progress and

The fact that the boat is more than a
day overdue Is only what might be ex.
