A SIDELIGHT ON RING METHODS Our readers will remember that a week ago the exposure was made that the ruling element in the council had been quietly passing extensive advertising pap to the Journal, at double that organ’'s con- tract prices. Patronage to the extent of $682 had been given it during the year, and the “‘ring"’ in the council fought to give still more, without competitive tender. Asa result of the exposure, the council had to submit the improve: | ment bylaw advertising co public tender. When the tenders came in that of the Journal was exactly half the rate it has been charging the city all the year without competition. Even after a lower tender was opened from another paper, Acting Mayor Hilditch sought to have competition eliminated and the work given to the Journal. With any relations that may exist between the Journal and any member of the council the News is not concerned. There is nc account- ing for taste. A lickspittle press is invariably popular with incompetent public officials. But when members of the council pay out of the public’s purse | double rates to a favored party organ the matter. becomes a public Adveriising is a purchaseable commodity like groceries or It should be bought in an economic market, in the interests issue. lumber. of the ratepayers. tion, large advertising patronage at double the price that should be paid, is the equivalent of making the party newspaper a grant out of the civic funds. It is as indefensible to give a political friend $682 for $341 worth of advertising, as it is to give a political friend $682 for $341 worth of groceries or lumber. An opportunity should be given the Journal to refund $341 to the city treasury. ITALY MAY HAVE HER HANDS FULL The series of unchecked successes which have marked Italy’s progress in the preseat campaign against Turkey, is liable to mislead the general public as to the magnitude and outcome of the task that confronts Italy. Turkey is no mean antagonist. She has great defen- sive strength and staying power, and if the campaign is a long con- tinued one, Italy may yet find it impossible—certainly will find it difficult—to gain any practical benefits from her victories in Tripoli. General Nelson Miles of the United States army has pointed out that the conquest of Tripoli may not end the war. still show fight Italy may be brought face to face with a much more difficult phase. Italy having declared war she will have to bring it to a con clusion. No nation can afford to let a war drag on indefinitely. In this case, Italian finances would demand that the conflict be concluded. But to force Turkey to submission to Italian demands direct military pres- sure must be brought by Italy upon Turkey itself and Turkey is stronger in the field than Italy. Turkey, in her last great war, 1877-78, showed great powers of resistance. It was not until a Russian army had crossed the Balkans, captured Adrianople and was at the gates of Constantinople that they submitted. It took 350,000 Russians to do it and Shipka and Plevna are still military synonyms for obstinate defenses.
