RIDICULOUS AS USUAL. The News came out of its lethargy Sunday long enough to indulge in a halting and farcical discussion of the charter amendments, -which it has the audacity to term a \blessing.\ It is difficult to comprehend how the News writer, even accustomed as. he is to making himself and the paper ridicul- ous, could be guilty of such a mess of absurdities except on the theory that when ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be •wise. The News tries to make its readers believe—and they ought to know the contrary—-that the charter as sent forward to Albany is the worlc of the non-partisan committee consist- ing of aldermen and private citizens appointed by Mayor Hoard the first of the year. The fact is that the objec- tionable amendments did not come from that committee, but were tacked on after it had imported to the Com- mon Council and been discharged by resolution of the Council. The News writer ought to know this, that is, if be knows-what is going on about him. at all. At the public hearing held after the committee had been discharged, James E. Kelly read a long list of \sugges- tions\ which he said emanated from the Democratic city committee, which he explained had been \overlooked\ by the mayor in the makeup of the com- mittee. Contained in this list were some of the objectionable amendments which were subsequently made a part of the bill and which, once their full imporl became known, have aroused a storm of opposition, Democratic as well as Republican. As for the amend- ment .providing for tax redemption sales, the News claims that it makes it obligatory -upon the City Treasurer to proceed against individual delin- quents. Either the News writer hasn't read the amendments or he doesn't know the difference between \may\ and \shall.\ In either case he should keep still. The so-called arguments which the News employs to defend the charter are too absurd to require answer— tbey are their own answer. Instead of designing a \blessing as the News -would have some believe, it has been suggested in some quarters that the author of the objectionable amendments tacked them onto the re- port of the committee in order 'to make sure that the- bill would fail. When the charter comes back from Albany -^providing it gets through the Legis- lature—there is every probability that the objections to certain features will be so outspoken and insistent and of such a non-partisan character that the amendments -will be speedily disap- proved, i THE HIGHWAY SCANDAL. It is the opinion of those in position to know that the real airing of the scandal in the highway department is just beginning with the dismissal of Superintendent C. Gordon Reel by Governor Sulzer. For six months the air has been full of rumors but specif- ic evidence of wrongdoing was scarce. Supt. Reel himself was the first to call attention t o the way business was conducted wljen h£ wrrgjg a Igtjgr to Governor Dix in which he called atten- tion to the fact that througn Deputy Supt. of Highways Charles F. Foley who had -charge of the maintenance and repair of good roads, State Engi- neer Bensel had been pushing the use of questionable material at Mgh prices. When Governor Dix retired it was understood that this letter was turned over to Governor Sulzer. Dep- uty Foley resigned the last of Decem- ber when Supt Reel called him to Al- bany to account for the expenditure of an appropriation of $90,000 for r;oad work in Westchester county. In his letter to Governor Dix, Su- perintendent Reel said: \In closing I might say that the State engineer's office has added noth- ing to the work of this commission but confusion, expense and delay and that in not a single instance has any sug- gestion been made toward economy, but on the contrary, in every instance questionable types of construction and questionable materials have been and are being advocated at increased cost.\ When the probe commission took up highway matters its inquiry was lim- ited to Reel and no effort was made to look into any of his criticisms. State Engineer Bensel and Supt. of Public Works Peck did not figure in the highway investigation. It was not until Assemblyman Hin- man's Startling revelations on the floor of the Assembly that the situa- tion was put up to Governor Sulzer in a way not to be ignored; then Reel's dismissal followed just as Hoefer's dismissal as State Architect followed the exposure of conditions in his de- partment. In both instances the ex- posures came not from the Governor's probe commission but from the Re- publican minority in the Legislature. Now then, how about Bensel and Peck? —The back of-Winter may be brok- en, but broken backs, they say now, can be mended.

Clifford Sifton, who has long been a prominent figure in Canadian public life, was born in the County of Mid- dlesex, Ontario, March 10, 1861. He graduated from Victoria university, Cobourg, Ont., in 1880, and two years later was admitted to the Manitoba bar. From 1882 until 1896 he remain- ed in practice at Brandon. His active political career commenced with his election to the Manitoba assembly in 1S88. In 1891 he was called into 'the Manitoba, cabinet as attorney general, in which office he established a high reputation for knowledge of the law and executive ability. After the gen- eral election of 1896, he accepted an appointment from Sir Wilfrid Lauirier as Minister of the Interior in the Do- minion cabinet. In 1903 he acted as British agent before the Alaska bound- ary arbitration tribunal. Later Mr. Sifton became chairman of the Com- mission on 'the Conservation of the Natural Resources of Canada.
