Freedom of Trade Liberty in religion Equality in civil thursday december 8, 1910. A new convert to the referendum. There Are two pleasing surprises in the correspondence Between or. Roblin and sir Wilfrid Laurier Laid on the table of the House at Ottawa by the Dominion Premier. One is the re Vela Tion that the provincial Premier to use an expression which it is hardly fit to apply to so very dignified a statesman but which May be pardoned on account of its expressive Ness has come Down from his High horse. The other is his sudden con version to the Beauty and value of the referendum. The closing months of this year of Grace will thus be Ever memorable in the annals of he Empire for the practically simultaneous con version of three great statesmen to the referendum Lansdowne. Sir. Balfour and or. Roblin. It is Only a few months since or. Roblin in those thoughtful Sta Desman he speeches which he made during his motor tour of the constituency of Dufferin declared that his opponent or. Osborne might understand what was meant by the initiative and referendum and All sort of thing but that for himself he could t. In All his speeches during the provincial Campaign he held up sir Wilfrid Laurier to severe reprehension for having been guilty Gross discourtesy in failing to reply to the celebrated letter addressed to him by or. Robin on january s last. A Model of True Oriental politeness him self politically speaking or. Roblin professed that All his finer feeling wore Lacera Ted by what he termed sir Wilfrid s discourtesy but that his own personal sufferings were nothing to the anguish to suffered every time he thous it that Manitoba even More than himself was the victim of sir Wilfrid s t7ver want a certain style of shoe look through half a dozen stores and not find it you did it try at our store we re positive for Queen Quality always has a style for every occasion. Robinson a gentlemanly conduct. Not to say atrocious he declared solemnly that he would let the Boundary matter stand where it was left standing by the cessation of the correspondence which ended with that letter of january s last. He had done his utmost he could do no More. His dignity and his indignation Over the outrage done to Manitoba by the Dominion Premier s failure to. Reply to that epistolary communication forbade his even thinking of attempting to do Rny More. It is a pleasing and amusing tribute to the Public intelligence on or. Roblin s part that he realized before very Long that his Stern unbending attitude was regarded by the Public in its True Light. Forgetting his outraged dignity he took pen in hand on october 17 last end wrote to sir Wilfrid Laurier again. Between the lines of that letter it is easy to read or. Roblin s realization that the explanations sir Wil Frid Laurier in regard to the Boundary matter and his setting Forth of All that has passed Between the provincial and the Dominion governments in thai re Gard had disposed of the version of that with which or. Robin and his colleagues had sought to mislead the people of this province. With the facts before them including All the letters that passed the Public could judge the whole matter for themselves. Hence the necessity of Premier Roblin making a fresh Start. The Dominion Premier in his. Reply on october 22 to that letter written by Premier Roblin on october 17, repeats in the most courteous terms his willing Ness to resume negotiations on the ques n of Tho of the bound Aries of Manitoba at any time convenient to the provincial govern Mes t. With Courtesy but with decisive , sir Wilfrid briefly refers to Jar. Kobman s Public accusations of Dis Courtesy against him for not having re plied to letter of january a which was simply As the Public Are aware a repetition of two previous letters writ ten by or. Roblin to which sir Wilfrid Hud replied Rully. Replying on onto bet 2 i sir Wilfrid s tilter. Of on River 22. Zvir. Robiin vies with sir i in and no More about tile letter of january Tho people of Manitoba must recon with satisfaction the apparent re of the provincial government to a reasonable Altitude of conciliatory Wil ingress to cd truss the Boundary Ras Ter with the Federal authorities. Negotiations carried on when the minister of finance or. Fuleki Injo re to . The Dominion pre Mier has Smie a that if there is any Uvo. To bring about a Square Deal ii will not be the fault of the Dominion government. As to Roblin s like and suggestion that Iii each of negotiate ii. Each Side us proposals which should then Rte Suo 1 hitherto of the Roblin government to it in a Businesslike manner and have t settled that course being dictated by political considerations. If the Rob n government is now at last really de Sirous of acting in a Businesslike Man Ner the people of this province will not be slow to recognize it and to regard with satisfaction a sincere attempt to have the matter settled. An Appeal to London. The Liberal and labor forces have done uncommonly Well in London which appears to have divided its. 62 seats Liberal and labor an a 31 unionist. In the last House the division was 2s Liberal and labor and 34 unionist. The prospects of the two parties in the metropolitan boroughs were discussed at length in the times of november 22, which found unit the prospects of the unionists increasing their it and were Bright. The big guns of the Liberal forces paid particular attention to London and before going on the stump in the provinces addressed meetings at various Points in the Metropolis at which Earnest appeals were made to the londoners co support the government in its fight with the lords. Winston Churchill speaking at Highbury closed this passionate Appeal to the people Lon Don As reported by the times it is to London the Imperial Cut of the world that we turn in this hour of crisis. U Alica is eager. And make every Effort possible to fulfil the pledges of legislation which were made in the Republican platform in the last presidential Campaign. In addition to the appointment of a Tariff commission to revise Tho Payne Aldrich revision of the Tariff which was upward instead of Down Ward As the Republican platform had promised it is expected that legislation providing for the conversation of natural resources the establishment oif a parcels Post system ship subsidies and the fortification of the Panama canal will be passed in addition to redistribution of the representation of the various states in Congress Conse quent upon the decennial census of the United states taken this year. It is a programme of Large Dimen Sions but the session will be continued into the new year und the president s plans May be carried out. This ses Sion of a moribund House condemned by the electorate which has elected a new House to take its place on March next is hardly in Complete Accord with the idea of representative government. It is one of the anomalies in i the United states system. There i nothing to the session continuing until noon on March 4, the the new House assembles. A statement needed. The ii rec ration which is before the Public in. Regard to one of the two pro cheers. Posed Hospital by Laws upon which the of Winnipeg Wii vote nex is soul As a. Rock. Che s 1 the great democracies of Lancashire rues Dav is As abundant As the info Yorkshire the mainspring of in mation in regard to the other is scanty pc uni. But i Ondon holds the Foremost place Lon i Are marked and if the information perhaps holds the key to final lion that is lacking in regard to the answer will London j municipal Hospital proposal is to b cratic movement shas l outworn i set before the Public the responsible of fitted to a referendum in this Vince. It is of course to be merely As an orbiter dictum in the letter of october 17, which conveys on Assur Ance of the provincial government s willingness to negotiate. Be rotations Are not by referendum but. By the parties the negotiation coming together with the desire to arrive at a reasonable and just settlement of the matter in. Question. Suppose that the Dominion taking Premier Roblin s referendum suggestion seriously were to come Back with a proposal that the referendum be a Dominion referendum or a referendum of Ontario and mahi an argument might be made in support of supposing either proposal were made. Ontario s connect Lon with the matter the whole country is aware that the Whitney go merriment is desirous of acquiring for that some of the territory which the Roohan government desirous of acquiring pro ivs nge. The whole question rein Ains the unwillingness that representative institutions rec quire the control of hereditary or non elective bodies unit Ood taxation is necessary to buy the Ove and the loyalty of our colonies of cries of that the to be inflated advocates of that proposal should be stir themselves. A full and Complete statement of the Case on behalf of the proposed by Law to provide for the new buildings urgently needed be by the general Hospital has been 1 w will tvs tit her path and that monopoly and Privi lege Are necessary pillars of the state. Will she say that cries of no you have received me kindly to night and i think i May say in your name that London will Send another answer. Cheers her answer will be Are marching amid Manv difficulties and perils towards a brighter better system of society. Hear hear we Are upholding the peace of nations and the Freedom of hear hear we Are seeking the re conciliation of races and a. Union hearts. We claim for the people who Are now with us that they shall Rule themselves. We demand for ourselves a fair and equal Constitution and we will shatter into fragments so that they Are dust upon the ground tha harsh and cruel veto of the House of lords. Loud cheers followed by cheers for or. Redmond the moribund Congress. The dying session of the sixty first Congress of the United states is now in Progress. More than seventy re publicans of the regular Stripe who Are members of that Congress and Are in their seats at the present session a re. Defeated in the general congressional elections last month. A considerable number of the regular re publicans managed to scrape through at the polls but they will have to move across the House when new House assembles next March with the democrats in control by a big majority. One notable fact which is reported from Washington As the result of the decided manifestation of the trend of Public opinion in., the United states Given toy the elections is that president Taft. Invited the leading insurgent senators and congressmen to the White House to consult with them in regard to the supreme court appoint ments and the legislation he proposed to recommend. To Congress. He has. Made it Plain that it is to be policy hereafter to consult the pro or equally with the regulars of his party and to take advantage of their advice upon important matters of go Vern ment. There i is some speculation As to How the regulars will receive the presi Dent s proposal of a Tariff com Mission but it is they will realize the however a gracefully the inevitable it to be president Taft s earn est desire that at this Mori bund Republican "majority.shall, get to three swallows.? sir John Power and son s three Irish whiskey famous for a Century of highest Standard of distillers to majesty j.

The actual fac Suc the Hospital situation As it cd sri is what the ratepayers have to take into account in to the decision As to How they shall Mark their ballots. Those facts in regard to the general hos Pital Are before the Public. Definite information in regard to the plans for the proposed municipal Hospital is still awaited. It is known that spokesmen of the labor organizations have declared in a general Way that in their View a Muni Cipal Hospital should be a free Hospital with no charge for Beds and no private wards. This is also the View of other supporters of the municipal Hospital proposal. But no details have been Given nor has this View been elaborated so As to bring out its practical bearings. As a matter of fact the advocates of the municipal Hospital idea have been concerned to assert the principle of Public control of Public expenditure and to protest against the making of private Charity a Factor in conjunction with Public expenditures in the solving of the Hospital problem of a Community. But is which the already noted h general proposition ratepayers have to pronounce upon but state of affairs which they have to Deal with practically. Aid.
