(Edmonton Bulletin) to break into the limelight as u cham- pion ef reduced railway rights for Westen Canada. A word on behalf of this desirable innovation-is of course welcome, from what- ever quarter it comes. But the West will sistance of Mr. MacLean. We had an ex- perience last session of how much Mr. Mac- Lean s championship of lower. railway rates is worth. Mr. MacLean made a long speech in the House of Comimons in-support of a motion proposed by himself condemn- ing the existing rates and demanding their reduction to the Eastern level.. When he had finished, Hon. Frank Oliver asked him if he meant that. railway rates throughout Canada should be equalized. Mr. MacLean replied that he did. Whereupon Mr. Oliver announced that the Opposition would port made it certain that the motion would earry,and equal rates be established as the law of 4 the certainty that the motion would carry established, Mr. Maclean withdrew it, be- cause the approval of the motion would be a vote of censure upon the Government which Mr. MacLean supports. With that ineident-in mind, Western people will not grow unduly expectant of getting cheap freight rates through the activities of Mr. W. F. MacLean. What that gentleman is after is not lower rates for the West, but increased notoriety for himself. When he had the chance to lower. the rates he killed it. OES PUBLIC OPINION The Wylie Bird.

So far 4s the naval policy is coneerned, he believes they still hold thie same opinion.

The House consisted of fifty members, eighteen counties sending two representatives each, three counties, one four members; Three Rivers had two; and William Henry (for Sorel) one.

Much time was taken up in discus- sion of the.rules of procedure, and the question as to the use of the French and English languages.
