P Et Te J# lhe Toronto Mail has been indulgâ€" g in some reckless. statements . 1Câ€" ‘the finances of the Dominion. In a recent issue it said:â€" ~ From March 31, 1908, to March 31, 1909, we added $150,000 every day to our natiomal debt. The new . debt €reated last year lays upon uS for inâ€" terest ‘charges alone no less than $1,â€" 500.00 per annum." ED Un â€" It $150,000 every day has been adâ€" @ed to the public debt between March 1908, and March, 1909, the sum _ of $54,750,000 must have heen added to the public debt. a What are the facts? ©*The net public debt on 31 March, 1908, was $277,960,859.84, and . the met public debt on 31 March, 1909, was $323,930,379.17. The diffetence between these figures is exactly $45â€" $69,410.38, which represents the net incréase in the public debt for . the period stated. _ In other words the Mail is just $8,781,000 out in its figures. We will maot say that these errors are wilful, but they tend to discredit its stateâ€" ‘ments in connection with public quesâ€" tions. * ~ The statement that the new debt created last year lays . upon the country for interest charges alone no Iess than $1,500,000 per annum is equally reckless and inaccurate. The duterest charges for 1908 upon _ the ‘public debt up to 31 March, _ 1908, were $10,073,596.88. _ The _ interest charges for 1909 upon the public debt up to March, 1909, were approximaâ€" tely $11,800,000, an increase of say $625,000, and not $1,500,000 as statâ€" ed by the Mail. 20 It may be stated, however, . that these‘increases in the public â€" debt were made necessary by the construcâ€" tion of the National Transcontinental Railway and the Quebec bridge. Eliâ€" minate these two sources of expense and there would have been no occaâ€" sion to borrow niuney except to pay off National loans created _ by the dormer Conservative Government.

The Act provided for the trying of young offenders | in a _ Juvenile Court, the proceed.ngs . of which_ were not reâ€" fortal _ by the press. °* If the deâ€" tendant was found guilty he ~ was sent to a Detention Home, where evâ€" ery effort was made to show him the evil of his ways anl by means of kind treatment was brought to a proPC! inderstanding ;# his duty toward _ a civilized community.

He complained about feeling weak and fifteen minutes later he succumbed. The funeral took place on Saturday _ afternoon at 1.30 o‘clock from the residence to the Bethany Mennonite Church and from thence to the East End Mennonite cemetery. y ‘The late Jacob Yost Shantz . was a native of Berlin, having been born on May 2nd, 4822, on the Shantz farm just south of the East End Mennonite churth.

He engaged in the operation of a sawmill, conductâ€" ed a lumberyard and became an . €xâ€" tensive contractor and builder. He has also been prominently identified with manufacturing interests in later years, operating a factory _ for the manufacture of boots and shoes. . In 1870 he established the button _ facâ€" tory, becoming associated with _ a German button manufacturer and | a few years later he bought out the inâ€" terests of his partner, contimiing to carry on the business in his own name, when he retired to enjoy _ a wellâ€"earned and richly <merited rest.
