There has been little news o‘f'e .-.start1ing nature from South Africa :since last issue. No severe fighting s"has beehreported since the Modder River engagement,‘ but'late *‘xbulletins, :show that the bombardment of Lafly- s-amith by the Boers has been vigorous. The Canadian contingent has been 'brigaded with two other strong com- ;panies which means that ere long ,they will be in that-thick of the fight. The World of Monday again main- f‘tains that the Metropolitan Company r should be compelled by the Legis- lature to carry passengers at a cent a mile, and that journal calls upon THE LIBERAL to urge the local members to move in that direction. ‘We would certainly like to see lower rates, but as "long as competing lines ~of steam railways are allowed by law to charge three cents a mile, we can- not see that it would bejustice to take the Metropolitan by the throat and say, “ you must carry passengers atjust one-third the rate charged by =y0ur competitors.” if all *lines are Slowered to two or one cent a mile, as the case may be, the Metropolitan will not have the same reason to «complain ofpartial-ity. J PM a meeting of the Board of Ed- ucation-on Monday the majority of the membersgpresent seemed to be in ;-fa'vor of engaging a third teachervfor “the High School. Tm; LIBERAL would be pleased to.favor the ,prqp- yosition», but; before :therquestion is .finally settled we think that .the .Board should publish a statement -s~l'IOwing. as nearly as ,possible the lextm cost a third teacher will mean. ll: is generally better to make haste salowly. The World still harps on the Met-j fropolitan getting right-ofâ€"wayto the Union Station and the St. Lawrence" Market, and speaks as if people up this way are opposed to such a pro. ,posal. Not at all. We endeavored .for years to get the right-of-way, but wthe-city and .Toronto Street Railways :would never «consent. We are all" :anxious to get to the heart of the icityg without change of cars, but places” rsituated as Richmond Hill, is also :vdesire connection with a railway .such as the 0.. R., so that coal and mother freight mayvbe brought to the ,:people’s doors. I k King Counéil 'meb at'iBond!s Lake fihopf'l 0? Sat“¥:_d"Y. Noy."~25_ Members all fifiesent, reeve'in the qchair. fifiha followipgp‘hillacwere. passed :~â€" THE LIBERAL has no desire to centinue a controversy with the To- ronto World. Neither has it any in- clination to fight the battles of the F'h/fetropolitan Railway. We have stated time and again that the com- pany is capable of giving the public a. better service and at a lower price. But because it has not done every- thing that travellers could wish, should it not get some credit for what it has accomplished for the benefit of the public. The Metropol- itan, between Toronto and New- -~market, furnishes accommodation which a few years ago seemed only like-adream, and people all along the line are willing to express their appreciation of the visitor passing etheir doors nearly every hour in the day. ‘ Metropolitan cars are a great convenience, and are undoubtedly a =real benefit to the County of York as we whole. ’ "THE WORLD AND THE METRO- POLITAN RAILWAY. “RICHMOND HILL.

Did you ever notice how few peo- ple are originalr in things they say 3 and do? For ins‘t'a'nee, one man makes a fortune out of a simple thing; immediately hundreds of others try it. This is human nature. I While it is gratifying to be the “first inian ”‘ to twig 01112311 idea; the great 1 mass must be content to fo‘i‘iew their leaders. There is one line that is al- ways original, however, and that is the business of Bradley-Garretson Co., Limited, of Brantford, Ont., be- cause they continually bring out pub- lications to suit the times and seasons, thus their agents are liept steadily at it and make big money. In fact, nog other occupation is more honorable, healthful, lucrative, or offers half as many opportunities for promotion. It is a life school. Many men and women in Canada tO-day testify to the truthfulness of this claim, in fact, it is conceded on all hands, that one year’s experience with this firm is worth more to any young man or woman than two or three years at college, from an educational point of view, and financially it is all that can be desired.
