is most noteworthy about the Speech is its omissions. lt is customary to announce that the Public Accounts and estimates for the next fiscal year will be presented, but of this there is no indication. Nor is there any reference to the promised external audit, or to the economies which the Premier rpredicted, last year as a re- sult of installing a high-priced machine in the auditor's office.

Our farmers, too, will note as significant the of any mention cation, a subject which figured prominently in two successive Liberal provincial platforms, and has been urged time and again by our farm -or- ganizations as a matter of prime urgency and importance. Speeches from the Throne in prev- ious Iyears took cogniza-nce of this fact, though the references were becoming vaguer each year. Now, apparently, the alibis have petered out, and all the sweeping powers which the Govern- ment has taken to deal with the matter, and all the fulsome assurances it has given the elector- ate, have been impotent to give birth to a single ray of hope, or hint of policy, in His Honour's twenty-four paragraph Speech.

The formal-opening and dedication today of Charlottetown’s fine new Y. M. C. A. comes most appropriately in the midst of National Youth

Week.

s’ in a , The lrish Parliament has turned down a ‘iilll which would have made it illegal for an lrish- man to buy a drink of whisky on Sunday. The vote was 65 to 4i.

Island Senator Daniel Edward Riley of High River, Alta., who died last April, left an estate valued at $93,025, it was disclosed when his will was probated in court. Four sons and two nieces were named beneficiaries.

About 44,000 English trout eggs have been sent by air to South Africa. They are to be used for stocking the lakes and rivers with fish of a high quality. They travelled to Johannesburg packed on darnp moss in two special light alum-

inum containers. l t

Summerside and Charlottetown fire chiefs have concurred in urging the abolition or curtail- merit of overhead wiring. The recommendation is based on the hazard to life which is presented by such wire in case of fire, but there are many other reasons of convenience and appearance which favour such a move. _ fi R

A bill introduced at Ottawa by Mr. T. L. Church (PC-Toronto-Broadview) would require that any woman charged with an offence be tried by an all-woman jury. That would be a far cry from the present situation here where the fair sex do not have the privilege, or burden, of iury

duty. ‘r .

Sir Edward Williams Elgar, English musical composer, born this date i857; composed many outstanding works for festivals, and in i890 came his finest work The Dream of Gerontius produced at the Norwich Festival, and for which he was made a Mus. Doc. of Cambridge Univer- sity. He was knighted in i904 and created O. M. in 191i. H I I I “

That most valuable of handbooks, the Can- adian Parliamentary Guide, perpetuates angun- fortunate error in the numbering of Provincial Legislatures. Ignoring the difference between the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec which were created by the B.N.A. Act out of the old Province of Canada, and the Maritime Provinces which came in as existing units with Legislative con- tinuity, the Guide numbers all alike from Con- federation.
