The Daily Telegraph calls attention
to the enormous increase in the use of
American confectionery in England,

that the demand is not what 1t was for

Dealing with Crimes in Canada.
(From the Chicago Times Herald on Jan. 10



The citizens of the Dominion of Cam
ada have just cause to be proud of their
record as law-abiding people. The an
nual report of the criminal statistics OF
the Dominion, which has a population
of over 6,0OO,O0O, shows that there
We're only twenty-five indictments for
murder in 1899. of which only two
were left without final action. Eleven
Of those indicted We're hanged. nine ac-
quilted and three confined as insane.
Canada is q country of vast proper
lions. Its people are scattered over a
wide stretch of territory, making police
surveillance particularly difficult AMI
in many districts impossible. Vet Il
city like New York or Chicago alone
furnishes a far greater criminal list
every year than the whole vast stretch
of territory from Quebec to Vancouver
The Canadians ascribe their ilnmu-
nifty from crime to the promptncss with
/ which punishment is melted ont to of
Tenders. When man is caught red
handed in the act of robbing another
he is not released on straw bail by
| some justice of the peace from the
| slums, to go out and repeat the otfensc.
Sharp and sure justice is meted out to
criminals of all kinds, the result being
that when the guardians of the public
4 peace succeed In bringing thug to the
bar they are seldom called upon to
I hunt him second time.
Furthermore, there are few court de-
lays in Canada when criminal is
1 brought to book. They have no Drcycr
cases over there. There arc no meth
DDS whereby Canadian criminals can
have the proceedings stayed from
month to month and from year to year
or after being convicted, appeal from
one court to another until witnesses
die of old age or opportunities for cor
ruption can be found.
Nor does this swift method of treat
ing with wrong-doers in Canada leave
the innocent unable to properly defcnt
themselves. They have all the oppor
tunties and privileges that OUR OWL
laws extend to them. The extent Il
shield the guilty is lacking-that is all

Il the country. Saws Mr.. Logan:

OF the country. Says MIR Logan:
The consolidation OF industrals has
made 1t possible to ascertain how bust
ness has been conducted by competing
films. and the methods or lack of nle,n-
DDS, of some have been a revelation. It
has been my pleasure To form the ac-
quaintance of the managers OF no less
than six consultations in different in
austries. and the experience OF one is the
experience of all. In some of the COM
panies consolidated they had rtver
known the cost of manufacturing their
goods; there had never been an intelli-
gent attempt 10 learn the cost. The
principle on which they appear to have
acted was this: If one manufacturer
quoted for an article dollar. they Knew
they could make il for less than he
could. and SO quoted 90 cents. There
was an absolute lack of systemin every
thing save in one particular--their sys-
tenn of price cutting without resar. to
cost was perfect Another fact has been
discovered in every one of the six con-
solicitations referred to: The firms or cor
rorations consolidated were successful.
prior to the consolidation, Just in pro-
portion as they adhered TO a fixed stand
ard for their goods, giving to their ira De
exactly what they agreed to sive. IN
other words, the firms which made the
best goods had the most satisfactory
trade, paid their help the highest wages
ald made the most money and Those
who made the poorest goods paid their
help the lowest wages and made the
last money"
As stated in previous issue OF the
T.-R, IL was exactly such reckless COM
rs tition that has led to shes consolidation
OF industries in England. L, IS an eco
