''You must understand that the lies
told about Socialism and Socialists
have about spent their force. You
have been taught to believe that So
cialism and Anarchy were one and the

Mr.. Matheson lays great stress on
the points that postal savings banks
will give the laboring population a
greater interest in the stability of gov

national spirit as opposed to sectional

have done much to obliterate provin-
cialism in Canada. A common tinan-

would, he believes, be powerful fac
