The tariff board having now fin ished its Inquiries Into the cost on each side of the border makes Its report The public can now Judge whether the facts ao ascertained. Jus tify the inclusion of news print pa per in the free list. The figures also blow tne extreme difficulty of arriving at a clean andj clear basis of comparison. The commission report that the average cost" of a ton of news print paper in Canada is $27.63 as. against $32.83 in the United States. The difference, of $5.85, In favor of Canada is. due to the lower cost of wood pulp, ' But, on the other side, Canadian "milla, have an; advantage In superior . equipment ir tne products are -put on the American market side by side U may safe.y be predicted that American manufac turers will speedily provide them selves with Improved equipment. So the disparity of cost will be re duced, but to what extent there are no figures to determine. s Again, In fixing the average cost, there, is a i6 inch , wire-wound pieces.

' The news paper recently , , teemed ,' with i ac count of a lT-year-old mfss, named Gould. Her claim, to much mention was that she is an heiress and mar ried a titled Englishman.. The cable still telle of her1 movements. . But. outside of New-York, scarce ly i line, relate the passing of Dr. Herman Knapp. . .Though he was ror 40 years a resident of New York and one of the most eminent oculists In the world, more notice was given his passing in Paris and Berlin than in America. His years were' given to thelle viation of distress. His researches and' hie radiation of knowledge about the human eye edified scien tific men throughout the world. He helped, to carry the light Into the eyes of thousands who sat In dark ness and In his devotion .to his work of alleviation gave all he had" to give tn strength and striving. Those who were unable to pay, he treated without price and. gave to them the same devoted attention that millionaires received at his hands. ' On one occasion, a multi millionaire sought to make an ap pointment during the scientist's of fice hours so he would have prece dence over other on the waiting list "If yon com at 8, when my office hour begin, you may not have to wait; ' but otherwise you 'must take your chances with the rest" wa the reply.

Toe rule of centuries is now to be broken; and a sum of $1,250,000 is Par OI mvmoviM. pay Since the days of Parneil many of the Irish members have received a modest allowance from the funds raised for support of the Irish party. Labor members have been-aupportp ed to some extent by the unions to whlcn they 'belonged. The assess ments for that purpose have been cheerfully paid with very few ex ceptions. But the question' having been raised in what is known as the Osborne case a to the jight'of the managers to disburse, any sum from the union -funda-rfor-tbis purpose, the court held, against the legality of the practice. " ; It waa generally felt that the way, -andi the only -right way out of the dilemma : was to provide in the annual budget for the living ex penses at Westminster of all mem bers without distinction. J ." The Tories have -run amuck as usual by attacking the proposal on the absurd ground that the house will be flooded with money-grab- blng--poUtlclan- seeking - an eas7 livelihood. This indirect Insult to the labor members will be resented by all their constituent regardless of party. No class of membDi has stood higher in ' the estimation of their colleagues for honesty of pur pose, and Industry in performing their duty as members. That they should be relieved of dependence on unions . for their subsistence will be welcomed by a great majority of the British people. . . THE FIFTEEN INCH- GUN E ARE DISCUSSING the peace , treaty. Also, the 15 Inch gnii. A few are even speculating on the 18 inch gun. One phase of the talk about the 15 Inch cannon is whether it Is tp be 62 M feet long, or only 60 feet That Is, whether It is, to be as long as a standard Portland lot Is wide, or;12i(4 feet longer'. There Is also wonder as to what nation, will be first to adopt the 16 inch monster. By all means, the contemplation , of such a weapon of destruction of life and property ought to whet the hu man appetite for peace treaties, v It is said that designs have al ready been prepared, for 15 and even States dreadnaughts, one of which has only been begun and the other not yet laid down. - : ! England has four' new dread naughts in "the water and two about to be launched that are to carry 13.6 Inch - guns'. - No other powers have got beyond ordnance of 12 inch cal ibre. The Krupps hare a 14 Inch gun 'on their list; but it' is believed to 06 a fortress weapon.'- The only W other guns, of that size reported ar for the third Brazilian dreadnaught now in course of construction, but the facta as to Its calibre have not been confirmed. ; J ' ;" t' ; , The proposed increase in cali bre and the fact that 1911, 1. wit nessing the greatest addition to ar maments In . history should . enliven interest In peace treaties.'; - ) , ,jf ' i ' Some men.

To the averace man. a hair eut is simply a necessary and unpleasant evil, and the thought of making the event a groat social function, to be periormea as a solemn ceremony, wouta seem ri diculous.
