EAST AND WEST.

The Winnipeg Free Press objects to certain eastern papers]!

lecturing the west on the gratitude its owes to the east. It says:

ism between west and east should assume proportions threaten-
ing the disruption of the Dominion.”

All this talk of the debf which the west owes to the east
is rank sectionalism. What the people of Eastern Canada did to
acquire the west and to equip it with railways was done, not for
the west alone, but for all Canada. The people of the west are

west itself. _ iit

Canada made very slow progress until the immigrants began| |
to pour into the west. And once that movement began it bene-
fited Eastern Ontario. We have a greater Toronto and a greater
Montreal, because we have a greater Canada.

It is fashionable now to say that in immigration we have
been paying the debt the east owes to the west and neglecting
Ontario. It is good policy to fill up Ontario’s vacant lands. But
if we have an immigration boom in Ontario it is because there
was an immigration boom in the west. The rich prairie lands
of the west were an advertisement for all Canada.

All this talk about pampering the west is nonsense—sec-
tional and unpatriotic nonsense. Those who talk about the west] (
as a burden are giving encouragement to those who talk about
secession. The way to stop the talk about secession is to tell
the western man that we like him too well to let him go.

 

THE DESTRUCTIVE MATCH.

 

The parlor match should be legislated out of existence. The
four great commercia! and insurance bodies of the United States
have all adopted resolutions to this end, and I believe that inside
of three years the parlor match will be as great a cufiosity in
this country old lucifer match, recently stated Mr. L. 8.
Amonson, president the People’s Fire Insurance
Company of Philadelphia. The parlor costs the United
States annually from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 in property
the result of 12,000 to 15,000 fires, and over 100
lives a month, the greater part of whom are women and children.
By proper legislation the losses could be reduced 50 per cent. by
the prevention of criminal fires; 25 per cent. by the prevention].
of fires caused by carelessness, and 15 per cent. by the preven-

underestimated,: in
of the total losses.

crime of neglect or the crime of dishonesty,
The number of "tmcendiary losses is greatly
my opinion. It probably exceeds 5 per cent.
Today the criminal fire bug is supported by public sentiment,
but when the public realizes that it pays the losses, rather than
the insurance companies, then will the insurance companies be
able to cut the premiums in half.

“The burglar or pickpocket is a better element to have in
the community than the criminal or careless fire bug, for the
first does not destroy property, he simply transfers it, while the
latter destroys property and often times life as well. The police
stoald arrive at a fire as soon as the firemen. Every fire de-
partment should be vested with police powers, and every fire
should be thoroughly investigated and the person responsible
punished. The crook, the fool and the criminally careless ought
to pay the penalty for their misdeeds, Hold all these responsible
and the American public will be saved $450,0600,000 a year.”

While these concise statements refer to the United States
they are largely applicable to Canada, whose fire loss for April
as recorded by the Monetary Times was $1,355,055 with a death

roll of 415
