Battle for Principle Instead of Forms.

If our country means to advance it must prepare itself to throw away many of the forms in which principles have been em. bodied and grapple the principle itself more firmly. Forms are too often the opportunity of the foe The vital air oi freedom alone can make free. We seem threatened today by portentious system of demsgogues who seem 70 aim at thor ough organisation of every political power from the lowest municipal officer to the highest government official. The times have changed since the despotisn Of the Tudors and the sbsolutism of the Stuarts, but that word ''thorough" has a hateful memory. IL recalls dark visions of Laud and Strsfford and Charles. The shadow of the seaffold, happily, no longer looms dsrkiy in the future for even the worst foe of national liberty Tyrannicide and the block, Aristogeiton and Oliver Crom. well. royalty and ruthless revenge, are alike gone with growing light. Bot unless we learn to change front with the chang ing point of attack, VIC may yet have 8 bitter battle to light for the eternal unity Of liberty and law against the selfish alli ance of partisan power ana political patronage -lndepend-

Every boy who could hit the eccentric Alaskan miner with a snowfall would get handful of coin thrown at him in return. Wilborg ap- peared to enjoy the sport, and of course the boys did. As the boat pulled out from the wharf he pelted the boys with money as long as he was within throwing dis. tance. During Wilborg's three years of exile his only companion was dog. On his return last month he had two dogs, which he will tske to his lonely retreat in the far north. He expects to remain an. other three years.
