The first session of the Ontario Legislature. under the Whitney Gow ernment, has closed, and it can truth- fully be said that a good deal of im- portant legislation was passed. True to his promise the Premier had the numbered ballot abolished, a step in the right direction. Along temper- ance lines an important clause was en'ried, forbidding minors, under 21 years of age, to purchase strong drink under any pretence. Formerly liquor dealers were forbidden to sell to those under 18 years, unless the latter had a written request from a parent (1‘ guardian. The law on that point practically became a dead letter, but during the past session it was amended, so that hereafter a liquor selln 1‘ places himself in danger by ge ling to any person who is a minor. The Government contemplated mak- ing a change in the County Councils" Act, but it was thought advisable to allow it to stand for another year. The former Government favored an ogtion in allowing members of coun- cils in one county to be elected by a certain method, and those in another by a different method. We believe Hon. Mr. Whitney was right in say ing he considered that what was good for one county was good for an- other. By all means let the Aet be uniform over the whole Province. E112 fiiheml. All the city papers gave exciting accounts of the opening day of the races at the Woodbine. Tens of thousands of people gathered to wit- ness the contest for the King‘s Plate, and apparently the different numbers on the program afforded an afternoon of rare en joy want. There were tally- hos and automobiles and equipages Of all kinds, and the lawns and clnmhi with their elegantly-dressed stands with their elegantly-dresseu ladies and gentlemen made a pretty picture to look upon. Another at- traction of the aiternoon was the presence of His Excellency and the Countess Grey, with other members of the gubernatorial party, accom- panied by the Master of the Hounds and. the red coated members of the Toronto Hunt. We learn also that the races in themselves were good, and that the noble animals acquitted themselves handsomely. With such a bill of fare it is not surprising that the spectators were enthusiastic. But why all the excitement? We fear a good deal of it was due to the fact that men and women had money upon certain horses, and for that rea- son they were prepared to scream themselves hoarse with selfish excite- menth Clean tests in horse-racing should be exciting enough without ‘Innnmnnnimnnis of bettingr and gain a bill of fare in is not 5' the spectators were cut} why all the excitement good deal of it was ( son they were pre themselves hoarse w mentfi Clean tests should be exciting The Globe is being criticised on a‘l sides for its expressed opinion on t e autonomy bill. Many Liberals condemn the Globe for Opposing Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his Government relative to the school clauses, whereas Tory newspapers censure the same paper for not calling every person b.\d names who had anything to do with passing the measure. The Globe stands to day in the same posi- tion that it did at the beginning 01‘ the controversy. It maintains its prsition that edueitionnl questions should be left to the Province, but it does not attempt to disguise the fact that the general policy 01' the Govern- ment has Leen 5:) good that should a general election take place it would accompaniments of be Hing. paper far 11 b.\d names with passin; Globe stands tion that it the contron w l defeated in c Rlcumdxn HILL.

Mr. Whitney spoke against the passing of the bill chiefly from t! e fact that it was introduced so near the end of the session. It puzzles some people to know why the mem- bers are so anxious to i'cmrn to their homes so soon. We are inclined to think that the session should clo.e when the business is finished.
