Ottawa, April 14. in the last full fiscal year reported the government of Canada expended, for the benefit of agriculture, $518,9TC. ln the same year expenditure charged to militia and defence was $5,594,- 000. It is a time of peace, and should be a time of agriculture development. Yet the government of Canada is spending eleven dollars on the military tor every dollar that is apent for the encouragement of farming. Such is the criticism made iu the-bud get debate in parliament by Andrew Itroder, the member for Dundas. The civil service commission partly explains the enormous militia expenditure, which amounted to 0A#8T7,SO0 in the nine months ending March 31, 1907 t Auditor General's Report Q., p. 2., Tile commissioners report that there are more high paid officials on the militia staff than in any other three or four departments together. They say tbat the headquarters" staff is sufficient for a standing army of 100,000 men, whereas the permanent force numbers only 3,000, and the militia drills only a Week in the year. Notice this list of highly paid officers: 1 Minister tplus |S,&O0 indemnity $7,000 1 Deputy Minister 4,000 1 Accountant 2,800 1 Director of Contracts 2,500 1 Secretary 2,800 1 Chief of Staff :.. 6,000 1 Inspector General. 1 . . 6.000 In lu o. ui.

Macdonnld has been notified fiom Vancouver that the appeal brought hy the plaintiffs in the case of the Independent Lumber Company against the Canadian Pacific Timber Company' has been dismissed and the judgment of the 11 itil judge affirmed. The case was' tried at Vancouver some months ago, ami was specially interesting as it involved the question as to whether an extra-provincial company, not licensed or registered in this provinci oould enter Into a valid contract for carrying on any part of its business In British Columbia, Mr. Macdonald for the defendants pleaded thai such a contract had no validity in this Jurisdiction. The further point, however, and the one upon which the trial judge de- aided was lhat Upon 'be facts in this; particular case no agreement had been n ached betwen the parties. The n-a sens upon which the court of appeal decided have not yet come to hand. stoiage, for export business in perishable products; and by Mr. Wilson of Lennox, who, In a forcible and practical address, pointed out the weakness of the government immigration methods^, showing that millions had been wasted in bonuses for immigrants who either did not come, or were undesirable, ou subsidies paid to the party press for alleged immigration printing and advertising, and for salaries and expenses to former political workers and hangers-on. Senator McMullln has announced lhat he caused his son to withdraw from a dredging company, which had large contracts with the government, as he did not desire directly or through his family, concerned ia government contracts. This in a severe reproach to some of his companions, for instance: Mr. Hobert Stewart, M. P., whose aon has suddenly come to the front as one of the Largest dredging contractors with the government, and who himself, as agent for a boiler inspection and insurance company, is receiving commission on from 70 to 80 policies on government property; James Conmee, M. P., whose family connections have a half interest in the Great Lakes Dredging Company, a large contractor with the government; Mr. Grant, M. P., whose brother is a large dredging contracttor; Mr. Sifton. M. P., understood to be largely interested In the company which receives hundreds of thousands of dollars from the marine department for fog signal apparatus; Sir Fred. Borden, who promoted a subsidized cold storage business at St. John, and whose son-in-law is in the concern; T. A. Burrows, ML* P., who bas obtained, in his own and other names, vast timber areas by methods still under investigation; A. J. Adamson, M. P., made rich hy Saskatchewan land deals, grazing leases and timber limits; Mr. McCraney M. P.. Senator Davis, J. G. Turlff, M. P., all concerned in Government concessions. Sir Richard Cartwright has informed the senate that he has no large hopes of increased trade from the French treaty. Mr. Brodeur has told the commons that the treaty will be no good at all without a direct steamship service at a maxlfum cost of $200,000 a year.

Kvidently the civil service commissioners ate right in describing the Canadian militia lyatam as "top heavy." The house directed by the premier nnd Uie minister of finance, rejected the following motion proposed by Mr. Foster: "Thai ai". supplies purchased for the n e m| ill,; various departments of the government should be procured on the baall "I public lender and contract, under the direction Of a competent pur- ehasing cninmlssKiu. aud with regard primarily to quality and price." Notloe of this motion was given be- fore the report of the. royal commission, which condemned the present system of purchase and showed that It was expensive, degrading and dishonest. The government did not meet the motion squarely, but Mr. Fielding headed it off with an amendment modifying the' lirst part aud substituting "minis! ers res pons i hh> to parliament," is isters responsible to v arliament," which is merely an endorsement of the present royal commission has so emphatically denounced. Mr. Blaln proposed to add to Mr. Fielding's amendment a further clause "thut the present system of purchasing from middlemen and at excessive prices should be immediately discontinued." This amendment was rejected, aud Mr. Fielding's endorsement of the existing method sustained by the regular government majority, except that Messrs. Laverghe and Hohitaille, Liberals, voted for the Hlain amend- meiii. Thus the government and the majority In parliament are still committed to the middlemen and to the spoils system The budget debate closed on Thursday. Among excellent addresses delivered this week was one by Mr. Hroder, previously mentioned; one by Mr. Armstrong, dealing particularly with the failure of the government either to find additional markets abroad for farm produce, or to restore the Gorman market, which has been lost, or to improve and properly operate the system of cold To encourage a taste for the beautiful and at the same time add to the attractiveness of the city, during the summer mouths, Messrs.

It must be harrowing to the Liberal press after thei; iaudatl )n of the "courage" of the prime minister in permit- t.ng a department of his government to be investigated. The courage was only superficial. The coward stands revealed when we learn that Mr. Justice Casseis' commission does not extend to luve.-.tigating coirup'lon in any depart- iii. nt. but merely to seeing whether the report of J, M. Courtney and his associates was justified by facts. The Toronto News has humorously pointed out that if Mr. Justice Casseis should confirm tin- irapoTl of Mr. Courtney, the government may appoint another commissioner to confirm tils report, and so on ad infinitum. Of course the procedure is absurd But we have grown used to comic opera at Ottawa. Nowhere else could the same kaleidoscopic transformations take place and allow a prime minister to keep a straight face. That, In fact. Is Sir Wilfrid Laurler's chief asset. In his nearly twenty years of party leadership there is nothing that he has done, or even aald, that is worth re cordlug. Hut no circumstance can develop, however disgraceful, however grotesque, that lie cannot meet with an nh of dignified surprise, and gracious tolerance. Never, in the history of any self governing country ban a cabinet beeu so ridiculously transmogrified But Sir Wilfrid, with his handsome face and ingenue air, never sees any occasion to apologize, he merely announces. If his own sense of humor is ever touched there is no sign given to parliament, or country. The premier displays the solemnity, almosj^*of imbecility. For example, when the late A. tl. Ulair was succeeded in the cabinet by II. R. Emmerson, it was hard for a sane man to suppress a smile. Blair was a man, with brains. Emiuerson was���well, he's politically dead and not worth a definition. When Clifford Sifton was succeeded by poor Frank Oliver the shock was even greater. But the matchless Sir Wilfrid smiled sweetly and graciously aa if nothing had happened. Now, after seeing his courage lauded by tbe Macbiue press from Easl to West, lie is cajiable of teillng parlia- uii nt that his virtuous promise ot an open inquiry was misunderstood, that he iliiln t mean that at all, lhat -Mr. Uiodeur is reallj retaining Mr. justice Cussels lo linil a defence, If he can, against the damaging Impeachment presented by Mr. Courtney, Mr. Fyshe und Mr. Baziu. The only crumb of cousolation for decent Liberals iu the whole disgusting affair was tlie apparently honest attitude of Sir Wilfrid. With an air of innocence that made his poor worship- pers forget lor a moment thai the responsibility Is all his, the guilt all his, he promised tn let in the light on ��� very- thing, N'jw they see thai Instead of an ��� Iii r searchlight, It Is to be a masked lantern and, even at that, to be handled and directed by the burglar himself. Still. Sir Wilfrid is a grout man. It requires a consummate aotor to Impress even Llboruls with a sense of Injured Innocence when one's hands ure reek- rhg with lhe evidence of guilt. If Sir Wilfrid Is not "partioepi crlmlnis" with Mr. Brodeur, Ur, Oliver nnd the others ���even now we haven't the heart to associate him with Sir Fred. Borden���lie at least knows all their guilt and goes bail for them to a hypnotized electorate. And so the matter stands. The promise of a genuine inquiry into the civil service was a deliberate, malicious and impudent lie. The "courage" was not there���not enough even to lie boldly. The lie is swallowed by the premier but with such a pretty grace that we are in danger of hearing next a euiogy on his dignity and sweetness. EDITORIAL COMMENT. Hon. A B. Aylesworth was near the front rank of Canadian lawyers��� not o:' course with McCarthy, Osier, and the Blakes, but well up. In parliament and on the hustings he is the most ridiculous failure of recent times. Even Lard-shell Liberals could not refrain Horn smiling at his attack on the Family Compact, belated to the extent of Sixty-Six years. His latest 'break'' Is worse. Of it the Montreal Star says: "Hon. Mr. Ayiesworih's reference to the Tory goats' in the civil service was unfortunate one. If there are any goais' in the service after twelve years of Liberal rule, it will hardly do to excuse Weir presence there by calling them -Tory.' In fact, in dealing with lhe civil service, what is wanted is mat lis members shall not be known by lheir party tags at all; but as good or bad servants'���men to be trusted and men whose record is noi trust- Inspiring, This civil service house- cleauing is not tu be accomplished by any man who winks constantly of we party proclivities of We men on tin" staff. He should lorget this side ot We question as entirely as he can. He should rejoice neither over the clearing oi Liberal sheep" nor the condemnation of 'Tory goals.' Fartyism and an ils works should be banished finally from lhe civil service, and no man should be either appointed, promoted, kepi or dismissed because of nis previous political associations. Nor should Uie question be approached in this spirit on lhe hustings. As we should nut hear lhe government unfairly attacked because of failures in We civil service which the report of .u own commission has revealed; so we should noi hear a minister strive lo avert legitimate responsibility by talking of Tory goats.'
