And it gives the cordon government a hint i which it seems to be in need to mind its own business and keep out of Provin Cial election contests. Thursday May 16, 1912. Exhibit a Manitoba Eleva tors. A stands for Carman and Crystal City at both of which Points the government purchased elevators. At Carman the first elevator was bought from the Farmers elevator company. It. Was a. Capacity House erect cd in 1891, had two cleaners of so a Busho i capacity per hour each to h. P. Engine three. Hop per Scales two Waggon dumps to storage bins and 22 Small bins. The Price was and the one third of Purchase was arbitration. The second elevator was bought from Tho Canadian elevator company. It was a House erected in 1902 had one cleaner of 450 bushels 12 h. P. Gasoline engine Hopper Scales Waggon Scales Waggon dump six storage and five Small bins. This ele Vator was also purchased by arbitration and the Price paid was that is to say a House with Only six storage and five Small bins Cost ?25 More than a House with 25 s rage and 22 Small bins and practically double All other equipment. The fact that the farm ers elevator was an older House does not fully explain the discrepancy As the Farmers elevator at Carman was in Good repair and was considered a Good House while it was specially designed to preserve the identity of Grain As witness the Large number of Small bins. At Crystal City the government Pur chased four elevators though Crystal City has gradually been declining As a shipping Point and some of these houses had not pair. Running expenses for years. All of the elevators except one had been erected 13 years or Over nearly All of them were in bad repair and some of them it is said have not been opened since the government took them Over. No. 1 was a House owned by the Winnipeg elevator com Pany. Built in 1897. It had a to Bushel cleaner an eight h. P. Engine Hopper scale Waggon dump six storage Biris three Small bins. It was bought through arbitration and Cost no. 2 was bought from Tho Northern elevator company. It has Only bushels capacity was erected in 189u had Hopper scale Waggon dump six storage and three Small bins yet it Cost no. 3 wus bought from the Dow milling company. This is a Bushel erected in 1894 cleaner of 300-Bushel capacity 12 h. P. Engine two Hopper Scales Waggon Scales and two Waggon dumps and with an nex 12 storage and seven Small bins. It Cost through arbitration no. I was a House bought from j. E. Parr. It was erected in 1902 had 600-Bushel cleaner is h. P. Engine Hopper. Scales Waggon Scales Waggon dump six storage and 10 Small bins this was the newest and Best elevator of the lot. It had been erected Only seven years when purchased and yet it Cost Only More than an 18-year-old House of one third of. Further it Cost Oil Manitoba s example. The failure of government owned utilities in Manitoba due As the people of Manitoba. To their conversion of political ends is being used tar and wide As an argument against Public. Ownership. Thus the Canadian Toronto says Public of veer slip is getting some hard knocks in Manitoba. I remier Hojin frankly admits that Public ownership of Grain elevators has been most disappointing. Be Leils badly about it that he warns the government that it in turn will be Compro Albed by the grata growers of uhe West it it 1 listens to them in the interests of such a proposition As the buying of the elevators at fort William. Those words of the Premier should cause the Dominion authorities to hesitate in their plan of acquiring elevators at the Lake Superior terminals some Good will Ilive been accomplished. It was a foolish policy Premier Robl in condemned it and it is a foolish policy still. Again the Public ownership of telephones in Manitoba has turned out badly. A commission. Was appointed to administer them and i is commission is now being moves gated. The disclosures Are lament Ole Ore of the documents is overed and put in evidence is m resting. It is an estimate of the Ost of each Rural and City phone under the commission s jurisdiction s compiled by the chairman or. Patterson. Each Rural phone a Aid to have Cost annually Vith an average Revenue of Ivins a deficit of in Tom nip of he loss is less. There the Hast a 40.60 annually and the Revenue showing an Adverse balance or the Ibert Manitoba Canadian courier and the ownership f the Winnipeg Street railway and hied interests there is so to speak a Community of it will Ever be difficult to convince the courier that ownership of Public still ties by the people themselves is mistake. Ownership Mackenzie and Mann is the courier s meal. The Manitoba government by the misuse of its opportunities Toas cer mainly Given tha cause of Public owners help a hard blow. There Are people who believe it this on purpose. The capacity. More than a 15-year-old House of capacity with Only three Small bins. Explanations of these apparent discrepancies Are invited from any Quarter and will be cheerfully published. The Quebec elections. Because politics is the game in which human nature most thoroughly expresses itself it is easy the party comments on yesterday s elections in Quebec. Because it was to Liberal sweep conservatives will Dis Parage it As an unimportant Provin Cial contest turning issues Whoso result is without the slightest Dominion significance. On the other liberals Siv ii. It a smashing blow at the Borden government fore Haf lowing is Early t defeat. Neither will be cd arc i. The truth lies Between. It is True that sir l Omer Gouin in All his addresses dissociated himself from Dominion urged for a the excellent record o his government. This was Good poli tics to very Well that circumstances being As they Are the strength of the Dominion party to its last ounce would fall in behind him. It was not necessary to make an Appeal for this support because it was already behind him Active and eager to score against its foes. Sun of this solid Liberal following is Lomer made his special appeals on other grounds in the expectation which has been realized of picking up Morrii additional support from other Viiar ters. On the other hand the conserva lives tried to Force the fighting upon Dominion lines though the chief Issue i hey raised was that of the loaves wishes. The Trade Issue they did no put Forward except in certain District v. Here anti reciprocity sentiment Rai High last september. Thus in West mount Leacock campaigned against the liberals on lines mad familiar during the Dominion Campaign. The professor thought reel proc Ltd was dead but to insure it remaining dead he urged the turning of of Liberal governments everywhere i Canada thus strengthening the Borde government in resisting the Rev Iva of the Issue. The present position o the Navy question has spiked the gun or the nationalists. The Harangue which did Yoeman service in the d o minion Campaign could not be revived conservatives had perforce to a Back upon the threat that the Countie electing. Liberals would not share i Tho lavish expenditures to be made b the Dominion government. The elector if this is do then the other provinces Are veil advised to beware ownership of telephones. Of pub Ltd when the results of Toronto s experiments in Street lighting come to e disclosed As they will be some a the experiences of. Manitoba will a Bally be duplicated. Public Weir shop seems to be successful Lily in Small cities or towns where waste and inefficient management Annot be hidden the eyes of a watchful Between the ownership of the a notable the election of Godfrey Lari Glois in St. Louis division by a Large majority is a Vicant event. Spirit and Aims belongs Rouge school. For s Oma years edited be Canada the Liberal news paper of Montreal but. Hit uncompromising radicalism was easy in a position where party consideration had to receive first attention. Some two years ago he broke Awa y from the regular party organization and founded an Independent he named be pays. The title Itsel was a Challenge. This was the name of the Radical weekly which in the Early sixties the mouthpiece o. He Institute Canadien that body o heretical opinion whose conflict with Bishop Bourget coloured lower Canad Ian politics for Many years. Be pays twice banned by Bishop and finally destroyed. In the new pays Langlois began to speak his mind of political and Edu cafe anal topics in the old Rouge Man a which was very i Lerent from that of the Meek liberalism of recen years abusing itself in a hopeless at tempt to placate the implacable Ultra Montanes. Or. Langlois has represented St. Louis division in the two last Legislatures and upon offering of re election met with a relentless opt position which expressed itself in Par in broadsides from the pulpit. I ii conservative opponent was no less a person than the brother of the Arch Bishop of Montreal. Nevertheless h has been re elected by a sweeping majority and will thus be cd Cou raged to continue his Plain talk both in the legislature and in . On the font rare. Roosevelt Dame out ahead of Taft and la Follette though Only by a Small figure the reports were that 14 aroused much interest in. California and Lulu Large meetings he has failed in Cali Porrua As he Lailda m Oregon Nebraska in his Campaign against Roosevelt. Interest now Cen tres More than Ever on the result of the m Ohio next tuesday. If is generally conceded that the result in that state which sends forty eight delegates to the Republican porn rating convention will have _ n. Most important bearing on the tight Between Roosevelt and Taft. While a sweeping Victory for the former ensure his nomination it would improve his chances. Both of the factions into t in Republican party is split Are claiming Ohio. The new t Ork Herald whose forecasts claim attention As Beinor ,11 Al and based on the Best obtain liable says there will be an even break. The Farmers in orb Are arg Cly against tart because f the reciprocity pact whale Many of tie big business interests of that state Are against Roosevelt. The contest of when Roosevelt and Taft is untre Ede Ledi in United states and s Ca using increasing uneasiness for the Fate of their Narv in he approaching Appeal to the people n the democratic Camp the chances of Champ Clark being Tho party Standard bearer Are believed to be steadily increasing. Apologizing under pressure. A weekly paper in this City which belled or. Ash dowry villainous by in he last election of the party tactics in the Campaign has now pub shed an abject apology in preference to proving its charges in the courts. It finds that in the transactions some 30 or 37 years ago which formed the basis for the of labels or. Ashdown acted honestly and it regrets having lied about him. This is a re minder that the chief government Organ had to apologize not Long since for libels uttered by it against Edward Brown in the last provincial election. It would to too much to , however that these unpleasant consequences moderate their partisan rancor Oil the occasion of the next contest. They Are no More responsible than the knife in the Assassin s hand is for the crime Corn pitied with they will i opponents again next. Time under instructions and subsequently again apologize also under instructions. Poor Taft his fight with Roose velt is like a flight betwee i a sheep and its Butcher. That landslide in. Quebec so confidently promised the by the government Organ yesterday somehow failed to materialize t. White minister of finance declares that the stories current in certain conservative journals of impending Tariff reductions by order in Council Are without foundation. Or. White will get himself disliked by the practical politicians if he spoils their plans this Way. Does t he know that these yarns were set afloat for poli tical effect in Alberta and Sas Katche i. It is interesting to note How even an exponent of extreme Tor ism As the saturday review which a couple years ago was constantly de rid ing or. Winston Churchill in terms of violent contempt now Speaks of him. With respect. His growing reputation has been decidedly added to by his work since he to a the admiralty his rearrangement of the Navy which went into operation on the first of the present month by which a continuous patrol of the coasts of great Britain is maintained has met with almost unanimous Praise from the naval experts. Presidential politics. The complexities Andi uncertainties of the presidential contest Are in creased by the fact that the primary Laws in the different states which have primary Laws differ in important respects. For example if the Massachusetts Law were the same As the California Law Taft would have secured the whole thirty six delegates from Massachusetts to the Republican nominating convention. The Cali fornia Law provides that shall All be elected by the voters of the state at the congressional districts being ignored except insofar tis it is provided that the state Dele gation must two delegates from each of the districts. Roosevelt thus gets All the Twenty six delegates from California As Champ Clark gets All the Twenty six delegates from the same state to the democratic nominating convention. It was expected that Taft would carry san Francisco and some of the other districts in the Central and Northern sections of the state on account of his service in having secured for san Francisco the Panama National exposition in 1915. But yesterday s figures show that Roosevelt was. Strongest where the Tat expectations were greatest. It was also hoped by the president s supporters that la. Follette s Campaign in California against Roosevelt would increase Taft is one could hardly retain any belief in the popular fallacy that a change of the Moon Means a change of weather after Reading a pamphlet on Tho subject entitled the Moon and the by Otto Klotz ll.d., . Changes in the weather de Pend on heat and the Sun gives us As much Light and heat in 30 seconds As the Moon does in a j How much effect can the Moon have at that in the Moon is constantly going on there i Are no sudden changes.
