Western associated press Ottawa july definite announcement that sir Robert Borden and some of his ministers will spent Che greater part of september Ana october touring Western Canada makes u practically certain that parliament will not meet until january. Owing the amount of legislation left on from the last session the general impression prevailed in the capital that the Houes would meet in november.

This will not leave sufficient time for the minis ters of clean up Stoa business which will accumulate during their absence a nil prepare the session Al programme in time for a november session. The evening citizen says the trip the West of sir Rober to Borden arouses much interest in conservative circles. The party out there has Long been urging the Premier to go to the West which he has not visited since 1911, preceding the general election. It is Likely that the Premier will be accompanied by Hon. W. T. White Hon. L. Pelletier and the Western Tariff reductions. It is fully expected that the Premier will be confronted with demands for Tariff reductions both in agricultural products and in manufactured articles on this occasion. In order that the refusal of free wheat by the govern ment May be justified to the satisfaction of Farmers and the slight redaction to agricultural implements an noticed in the budget May be made to look sufficient.

Big meeting at Winnipeg it is stated that Hon. L. P. Pelie tier postmaster general will also go Tony and it is possible that a number of members and several of the Western members will be numbered in the personal of the party. The Premier will have a big meeting at Winnipeg at the outset and will speak at the most important Points throughout the West. Small Impromptu meetings will be discouraged. Ottawa paper s View censure. Or. Justice Scott says he cannot avoid the conclusion that com missioner Booth was in Complete Accord with the policy pursued by the police Force of allowing _ houses of prostitution to run. Dealing with the mayor and the administration his lordship says it was an open question whether com missioner Booth assumed that Atti tude upon his own responsibility with out consulting the mayor or his other colleagues about it. He went on to Point out that commissioner Booth arid the mayor discussed police matters from time to time and in View of the fact that the police commissioner looked upon the mayor As his Boss and in View of the notorious increase of prostitution in the City it. Was diff cult to believe that the mayor was ignorant of conditions.
