: ‘The uppalling news of the ramming F, and sinking of the C. P. R. liner »jiEmpress of Ireland" in the Gulfl of E‘[St: Lawrence, at an early hour Friâ€" \day morning, with over 1,300 of the "passengers on board, came _ with _ shocking suddenness only equalled by ‘the news of the terrible Titanic disâ€" aster two years ago. While an _ acâ€" purate estimate of the number who perished has not yet been officially ‘issued, reports indicate that in the mumber of lives lost the catastrophe ‘that has ovértaken this fine Canadian beat of the C.P.R. fleet is one of the worst in the history of marine disâ€" asters. @ The hearts of all Canadians will be «filled with sortow for the unfortunate Wictims, their relatives and friends. :, A full enguiry into the cause of ‘ithe disaster should at once be instiâ€" k&uted with a view to fixing the reâ€" | Bponsibility for the disaster. So long, f,however, as the unsinkable boat reâ€" mains undiscovered the sea, it would Enppear, will continue to exact its heavy toll of human lives.

It is also true that in 1911 the Lauriet Government took mction which enabled the Canadian Northern to set about â€" linking up Ats lines in the prairie provinces with ?l’ail\\'a}'s in the east so that, on the one hand, the western lines "would have independent and competitive acâ€" pess to the eastern seaboard and the eastern commercial centres and, _ on Athe other hand, _ these _ commercial centres would have â€" direct, indepenâ€" dent and competitive access to the prairie west." _ ~ Where the Responsibility Rests Leaving this side of the case for a moment, it is illuminating to look finto the facts in connection with the British Columbia section of the Canaâ€" dian Northern. The conditions which have surrounded its construction were created by. the present Government in 1913, and which lacked _ entirely the â€" safeguarding _ provisions | which should properly nave peen inqluded in it. According to statements â€" tabled in the Commons during _ the discusâ€" sion of the _ proposed $45,000,000 guarantee some £$30,000,000 have al ready been expended on this British CoftihiéMa section.

In accordâ€" ance with his custom, Sir James banded out an address to the electors of Ontario, ‘"The Issues of the Day," in which he recapitulates the achieveâ€" ments of his Governmnt since the last election, referring specially to the Workmen‘s Compensation Act, the legislation provhunlh!or the esâ€" tablishment of radial ilways by municipalities and hydroâ€"electric deâ€" velopment under the direction of Mr. Beck and his colleagues. He declares that the public revenues have been more than doubled, and calls attenâ€" tion to the extension of the T. & N.O., and the administration of the license Jaws. ‘"We believe," says the adâ€" dress, "that a policy which keeps shops open while closing the bars, will have a tendency to encourage eud increase the sale of liquor in large quantities, and the consumption of it in the home. ‘That policy we leave to our opponents. .

She was a sister to the "Empress ol Britain," and both were _ mail vessels. _ ‘They are of identical dimensions, viz., 550 feet in length, 65 feet in width, and 40 feet depth, being 14,500 ton: registete â€" She had an indicaied horsepower of 18,000. â€" Accommoâ€" dation was provided for 350 firstâ€" class passengers, 350 second class passengers, and apout 100 third .class,. She had a speed of 18 knots an hour. Both Empresses were built in 1906 by the Fairâ€" fiekd Co. _ During the _ summer months they plie¢ hetween Liverâ€" pool and Quebec, and during the winter her port was St. Joui, New Brunswick. Both Empresses are quadruple expansion, twinâ€" screw vessels. The convention of the North Watâ€" erlco Conservative Association _ will be held on Saturday afternoon, _ at which it is expected C. H.

All that the Canadian N’urthrrn' now requires to complete its transâ€". continental system, Parliament is told by the Govetnment, is $15,000,â€" 000. It is cleat, then, that the pross ent situation is the result of the construction of the British Columbia Dorden and his colleagues. _ As _ a inder the conditions created by Mr. plain, straightforward maitter of fact so far as the responsibility for the present situation may pe laid at the dloot oi a peltical party it must he laid not at the door of the late Lib: eral Government, but at that of the under legislation which was enacted present Conservative Ministry.
