country there is no such thing as pri-

deposits. Take as an instance the
Dominion Coal company of Nova
Scotia. 1t does not own its mines. The

Moreover, If the operators fail to keep
mines going in the Dominion their
leases are at once nullity. 1t can be
readily seen, therefore, that long
strike which would tie up coal lands
could not occur in Canada.
British Columbia is even more rigid
than Nova Scotia in safeguarding the
rights of the people. Out there a rail-
way company was to have certain lands
for a subsidy, and the granting act
provided that if any of the lands should
prove to be coal bearing lands the
company must convey to the crown,
in the interest of Canada, "a portion
the same to be of equal value per acre
as coal lands within the residue OF
such lands" The government was to
hold these lands '.for the purpose OF
securing a sufficient and suitable sup
ply of coal to the public at reasonable
prices, not exceeding 1900 pounds. free

There is no need OF it. The tide OF
real prosperity has set toward them.
1t has been q long wait, but all things
come to those who wait
There Is such a thing as building up
the national resources at the expense
OF neighboring and competing peoples.
That is the policy which is now being
urged in Canada, and we are to realize
the direct application of the rule to US.
We have Canadian trade in our grasp.
We have said, and keep on saying, that
we will sell to- Canadians, but that we
Will not buy. The Canadians at last
have made up their minds that trade
shall no longer be mere Jug handled
affair, and that if we want to sell we
must also buy.
This is the direct result of the de-
termination Of the high protectionists
to kill off reciprocity with Canada and
other peoples. How long the Aneri-
can people will continue to sustain such
courses, the coming election will go far
toward determining.

TOO MUCH JOHNSON.

The Office of county surveyor is hon.
estly and ably administered by the
present Democratic incumbent, Mr..
John B. Irwin. Under the former Re-
publican incumbent, the management
Of the office was attended by proceed
ings of a questionable character.
The main trouble until Mr.. Irwin
took hold, was that the office had been
regarded and treated as a family asset
by the Johnsons. 1t was then Johnson
Jr, with Johnson ST.. as the deputy.
It will be Johnson ST., with Johnson
years if this wel1-known office holding
family are allowed to have their way.
Do the public forget that johnson
livery bill? Evidently the Johnsons
think they do. Hence the elder John
son is to the fore this time, instead
Of the young man Johnson, who prob
ably regards himself as politically dis
abled as the result of the decision of
the courts on that same livery bill.
For fear the reader should not re-
call about that livery bill, it was this
way:
Johnson Jr., while surveyor, put in a
big bill for livery hire. 1t was the
Johnson family rig, If we are nef mis-
taken, that the county was asked to
pay for the hire of by the members Of
the Johnson family. The bill went to-
the county commissioners, and, Of
course, the majority of that glorious
body, being composed of Republican
statesmen of the same type as Johnson
Jr. ordered it paid forthwith. The
county auditors Office, under like aus
pieces and direction, indorsed the claim.
But it wasn't paid And it wasn't
paid because Mayor Smith was mayor
and had to sign the warrant which the
Republican statesmen had agreed to
draw in favor of paying the Johnson.
family for the hire of the Johnson rig.
And Mayor Smith, not believing that
the Johnson family should feed the
family nag as well as themselves, out
of the county crib, decided he would
not sign.
Then the Johnsons went to law to
compel Mayor. Smith to sign the war
rant to pay their livery bill. They
went all the way to the supreme court.
But the courts could not see the mat
ter as the Johnsons saw it, and the bill
remains still unpaid.
Now, If the tax payers of this coun-
ty want to restore the Johnsons, why
they can do SO of course. But they
will, in doing so, lose the services of a
capable and honest county surveyor.
They will by doing so relieve Mr.. Irwin
from the necessity of holding an Office
that he probably does not regard as
especially desirable. They will, too re-
store the Johnson family to the dis
charge Of the duty which has proven
so agreeable to them for a period that
covers an ordinary lifetime, of draw
ing their sustenance from the proceeds
of the public taxation. They doubt
less, however, know the Johnsons well
enough not to be in a hurry to do this.

THE LAST DITCH.

- EHS1 LII
A study of protectionist literature
makes one fact plain beyond dispute.
1t is that protection was ever regarded
in the earthly economic history of the
country as national expedient, made
necessary by our situation as a ma
ton in its infancy.
As we progressed, for full a half
century the main, if notthe only, argu-
1ifent in favor Of protection was that
1t was necessary to give our own
manufacturers a government advantage
to prevent their suppression Ig foreign
competitors.
Henry Clay was in his grave before
the doctrine of protecting the Ameri-
can workingman- through the existence
of tariff duties was thought of being
seriously advanced. But it in turn be-
came the stock argument in favor of
high tariffs, and so remained until Ia
Dor organizations and prevailing indus
trial disturbances, strikes and lock-
outs, showed just how delighted the
workngman of America had become
with the conditions attending his toll
and with the protection" assured him
by the high tariffs
Then came the trusts on the scene.
And the infant industries had grown
to be monsters. 1t could not be urged
by any politician who wanted to keep
his face that the tariffs should con-.
tinue high for the protection of infants
who had developed as, for instance,
had the tin plate trust which only ap-
peared on the scene as an Infant" as
late as ten years ago.
Today the friends of protection.
that is the political tools and dupes Of
the over-fed and over-growfl infants
are obliged again to fall back on the
exploded fraud that high tariffs are
needed for the protection" of the
American workingman. None dares to
put this proposition squarely before
the public understanding longer. And
hence it is that we are told that there
must be protection calculated on the
basis of the difference between the
rate of compensation prevailing in old
er countries in like industries and that
prevailing here
No such basis of calculation is pos
sible. But the pretence is as good as
any other. Ask any skilled mechanic
who is a member of a labor union what
figure the tariff cuts in fixing. the. scale
of his wages, and he will laugh his
questiener to scorn.
But protectionism has reached its
last ditch. Whether it will survive
behind that ditch after this election is
over remains to be seen. The let-well-
enough-alo cry represents the last
ditch. 1t does not pretend to stand for
argument It casts aside the veil of
argument and trusts to Hamlet's phil
psophy which teaches its disciples to
endure the ills they have rather than
to fly to those they know not of. They
may not be evils at all; we do not
know. But let US let well enough alone
Z even though the evils we dread should
prove to be blessings.
When an individual or party comes
down to a position of this kind to sus-
tain his or it's contentious. there can
be no lower descent.

two revolvers and a feather.
The feather was then placed in the
brides hair and DR.. Chief Prairie Dog
said to her: AS long as birds nave
feathers they can fly" He pledged
the husband to protect her in peace
and in war, and then danced the we'd
ding dance, after which an Indian song
was sung and the ceremony was at
an end. Miss Reeves is pretty ana
eighteen. They were married on

place some years ago, in which another
