means OF sanitation, and of locomo
tion. Every town needs sidewalks
and sewers, and must have them,
The history OF Ontario shows that
the people who reside here and whc
own property here uniformly paid
their share OF these improvements
while the nonresident property owc'
ers have almost uniformly refused q
do so, knowing that under the pres
ent law they could not be compelle
to do so.
AS the result the general property
OF the city has been taxed to make ~
each year the deficiency between whei
the owners OF property have paid an
the amounts due on the several 10
cal improvement districts. This ha'
been a heavy burden, II is one OF th
reasons for the high tax rate In on
tario today. The city each year mus
levy several thousand dollars for thu
purpose and thus not only increase
the levy but constantly keeps the eiN

property thus improved. That Is
what the proposed amendment vii

same recourse to the lien laws OF the

There is no more reason why the
city should not thus collect funds
due it from these tax dodgers than
there is that the County and stat,
should let delinquent taxes go uncol'

There is no reason why the gener-
al property within the city should

FURTHER VIEWS ON ROMAN
QUESTION.

Rome, Feb. 10, 1919.-A number Of
articles, appearing recently in Catho-
lie and Liberal publications, show that
at this time of world sentiment, at
tention is also being turned to the no.
sltion of the Papacy. Catholic writer's.
OF course, do not presume to forecast
the Judgment of the Pope, who Ia
really the only arbiter in the case:
but they suggest that there is a gen.
eral impression that the Holv. See
would go to the very extreme of char
lty in what may be called the acciden.
tails OF the situation, provided the es-
sentials should be assured. Liberal
opinion seems to be shedding some of
the old extreme intransigence. al
though finding it difficult to swallow
any suggestion of Observation-Disclosures
which it regards as derogatory to
Italy's position.

Governments
and People,

In the address of President Wilson
to the joint session of Congress de-
dvered on April 2, 1917, in which he
urged war with Germany, there was
one remarkable passage in which he
referred to the origins of the war. It
is interesting reading, now that the
peace conference is in session. He
said:
1T was war determined upon as
wars used to be determined upon in
the old, unhappy days, when peoples
were nowhere consulted by their rul-
ers and wars were provoked and
waged in the interest of dynasties or
little groups of ambitious men who
were accustomed to use their fellow
men as pawns and TOOLS"
We recall this passage here in or
der to compare it with another one in
the speech of the President In the
French Chamber of Deputies the 9th.
er day. On that occasion he said:
"The rulers of the world have been
thinking of the relations of govern
ments and forgetting the relations of
peoples. They have been thinking of
the maneuvers Of international deal
ings, when what they ought to have
been thinking of was the fortunes of
men and women and the safety of
home, and the care that they should
take that their people should be hap
py because they were safe."
These statements, though made in
general terms, are especially true of
the modern imperialist era, yet there
are thousands of men and women in
many countries, including the United
States, who are serving terms of i'm
prisonment for expressing the same
views. The President receives ova-
tions when including such passages in
his addresses, while less noted men
receive chains and epithets of "pro-
Prussianism" and "pro-Kaiser" when
saying the same things. When said
by him they are the essence of pro-
found wisdom; when said by others
they constitute criminal intent and
dfsloyalty. When said by him they
are truths; when uttered by others
they are lies.-New York Call.

A sensation was caused in Thurles
on Friday by the arrest of Mr.. Cathal
Brugha, the newly-elected M. P. for
County Waterford, as he was entering
train for Dublin.
Constable Barrett, Thurles, asked
MIN his nam@ and was told "Bru-
gha." Is that Irish?" the Constable
asked, and on being told that it waa
he asked: What is your Christian
name?" "Cathal" was the reply
The Constable said that unless tha
name were given in English he should
detain Mr.. Brugha. Some Thurlea
friends who accompanied Mr.. Bruxha
explained that the Waterford shar-
IN accepted the Irish form of tho
name; but the constable persisted.
and as Mr.. Brugha refused his name
In English he was brought to thesb

The unanimous derision that greeted

the soldiers chief grudge against the

But, to the soldier who has had to do
with it at the front and in the imme.

sented condescension and lack of un-

nave forgotten, also, that the men in
the army too have made sacrifices,
that all men have been under the COM

so still, and that wisdom, intelligence,

Gated existence of a wide misappre-
hension that the Victory Liberty Loan
