EDITORIAL NOTES

------------- iHas Jette got back yet ? The.stir

rfcised over the return of Ayles- worth has almost made the public forget that he had a running mate.

Just now Canuda has a notion that it has a right to feel sore over the Alaska boundary award, and so registers its kick in fearless native fashion. No one likes to get beaten in an argument, or contest, or arbitration, and if the defeated party thinks he has been “ hit below the belt” it adds to his chagrin. But after letting the world know that it knows what has been going on it will accept the decision like a true sport. And next time the Dominion is involved in an arbitration it will pay more attention to the referee.

Uncle Sam : “ Alaska for that10-mile strip.”

Miss Canada: “ Yukon have it.”

Five or six States held their biannual elections last week, and the Republicans have got the best of it by tremenduous majorities. But the Democrats, as represented by Tammany, recaptured New York city in the greatest victory ever won by that famons organization, fairly sweeping their opponents out of existence.

all Waterloo county men, many of them born and raised in the county. For business reasons they rescued the Preston-Berlin road from apparent collapse a couple of years ago, and now that the pressing needs of the Twin City and Wellesley section can be best served by the further extension of their line they have interested capital and consented to build if the municipalities assist Whatever view the ratepayers take of the bonus by-laws shortly to be submitted they can rest assured that this entire railway matter is being dealt with by capable, honorable home men, from the elector np to the President.

As the time for the municipal election draws near the personnel of the next council is always a matter of interesting conjecture to the ratepayers. In Wellesley no stir whatever is perceptible as yet, although it is known that one member, at least, will retire at the end of the year. On the whole this year’s council has done its work well, leaving very little to complain of, so that if they all chose to stand for re-election on their record there would be but little cause for opposition. There are, however, problems which this township must soon grapple with if it wishes to be up-to-date and place the farmers in the best position to make money and take advantage of modern methods. The question of abolishing statute labor was brought up at the last nominations and the I irge assemblage of ratepayers plainly favored the taking of a vote on that question, but

j the council, as yet, has taken no ■ action. Considerable has been done

The news received this week from f n official source, concerning the Wellesley extension i s ^ f an important and gratifying nature, and in all probability the voting on the bonus by-laws will take place next month. The consulting engineer who went over the route last week, has reported favorably, at least as far as Wellesley village,and the Preston-Berlin Company has secured capital and will push the road on to Wellesley without delay if the municipalities interested give it a reasonable bonus support. The officials of the Preston-Berlin road are not mere bonns-hnnting schemers. On the other hagjM#ey are

of mankind, for the fear of death is an aberration.-

The fact Is tlmt only one man In n million at present dies a natural death. We should live till 140 years of age. A Inan who expires at seventy or eighty Is the victim of accident, cut off in the flower of his days, and he unconsciously resents being deprived of the fifty years or bo which natnre owes him. Leave him n little longer and in due time he will desire to die. as a child at dusk desires to sleep. The sandman will pass!

All our Instincts drop from us one by one. The child cries for mother’s milk. The Idea of such an ailment Is repugnant to the adult. The desires for sweets, for play, for love and lovemaking. for logg walks and adventures are ail Impulses that have their day aud pass, and the wish to live is an Instinct which fails also with satiety. Only at present none of ns lives long enough to be satiate with days.—Professor MetchnikoCTs "Studies In Human Nature.”
