A WISCONSIN PAPER ON WESTERN
CANADA.
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, One of the
Favored Districts.

Favored Districts.
The following clipped from the cor
respondence columns of the Eau Claire
(Wisconsin) Leader is but one of many
letters of similar character that
might be published concerning West
ern Canada, the land of No. l hard
wheat and the best cattle on the con-
tinent. 1t is a simple matter to reach
the lands spoken of, the Canadian Gov
eminent having agencies established
at st. Paul and Duluth, Minnesota;
Grafton, North Dakota; WATERFOWL,
South Dakota; Omaha, Nebraska;
Kansas City, Missouri; Des Moines,
Iowa; Wausau and Milwaukee, Wis
consin; Chicago, Illinois,; indianapolis,
Indiana; Sault Ste. Marie and Detroit.
Michigan; Toledo and Columbus, Ohio.
and by writing to or calling upon any
of these agents at these points full in
formation can be secured. This Is
great opportunity to secure a home
free of cost or if you desire to purchase
lands they can be bought now at prices
much lower than will exist in few
months. But read what the corre-
spondent referred to has to say Of one
particular district.
ITO the Editor of the Leader-The
rush of the land seekers will be to the
prairie provinces of the Dominion OF
Canada. The allurements Of soil that
yields 40 bushels of wheat to the acre
are too great to be resisted and an
immense migration from this country
may be confidently predicted. People
here laughed at first at the idea OF
any one leaving the United States for
Canada, but the Dominion authorities
knew they had a good thing and they
stuck to IT, Their officials evidently
knew the value of printers ink. They
spared no expense in letting the people
of this country know that these lands
were there and that they were exactly
as represented. They did more. They
sent out specimens of the crops raised
and samples of the grain. We have
had them here at four consecutive
street fairs, presided over by one OF
their ablest immigration officers. This
gentleman spared no pains. He ex-
planned the value of the lands and the
richness of the soil from morning to
night to all corners.
"All this told in the long run. Sew
eral went up from here to spy out the
land and like Caleb. the son Of Je-
punneh, and Joshua, the son OF Nun,
brought back a good report. and now
some ten families will leave here in a
few weeks for Saskatoon to settle upon
farms there, and others are preparing
to.follow. or course many will appear
shocked at the Idea of any enc leaving
the stars anc stripes for the Union
Jack. but patriotism is but a nomen-
clature after all, and our experience
has been that in nine hundred and
ninety-nine cases out OF a thousand
man is the most patriotic where he can
make the most money and do the
most harm to those whom he hates.

Miss HELEN Keller's story of her life

MISS HELEN Keller's story Of her life
written for the Ladies Home Journal,
has many paragraphs which show the
beauty of the soul of the writer. Here
is one: SLOW shall | write of my
mother? She is SO near to me that it
almost seems indicate To speak OF
her. We never dream of comparing
our mother to another; IL is enough
that she is our mother-the being in
whose beneficent tenderness is security
and Joy. To describe her would be
like attempting to put into words the
fragrance of flower or the smile OF
beloved face. Much interest at
taches to an article on The Presi-
dents Mother" which will appear in
The Ladies' Home Journal in the near
future. 1t will be the first story OF
her life yet told, and will be one of a
series OF articles, the first of which is
published in the April number
of The Journal, on the President and
his family. Miss Alice Roosevelt is
the subject of this

THE April CENTURY has so many at
tractive features it is difficult for the
reviewer to select from them for his
necessarily brief notice. The begin
ming of new serial story entitled
Confessions of Wife," gives promise
of retaining it's interest throughout.
If begun it will be watched for until
finished. There are number OF hui
morous stories, which are appropriate
for the first hammock reading month.
Sylvester Baxter's article on The
Identifying of Village and Town" is
attractive reading, made up in style
that will have influence and bear
fruit.

BEsIDRs capital assortment of fic-
tion, McClure's Magazine for April
contains four articles of exceptional
interest, one of which is of very pres
ent Importance. This is 1.-The Over
worked President" by Lincoln Stef-
fens. In form straightforward
narrative of day passed at the White
House, it is telling arraignment of
the system that subjects great part
of the PRESIDENTS working day to a
ceaseless harrassment of trivial inter
ruptions, and it should materially
influence public opinion to support
the reforms which are already con-
templated in Washington.

THE NATIONAL magazine is keeping
up its record of making eacli number
better than the preceding one. The
April number is another illustration
of this. 1t is the most deliberately
illustrated magazine of the month.

Mitchell Chapple, the editor, is worth
much more to the reader than the cost
of the whole of it. The original poetry

The Hand of the Sugar Trust.

General Grosvenor has hit the nail
on the head Every indication points
to the Sugar Trust as having organ
lied this Cuban reciprocity movement
1t means money in the pockets of the
trust and an advance in trust certifi-
cates-and here is the speculation
which General Grosvenor sees under
lying the entire agitation. The trust
showed itself little too conspicuously
at first; but 1t has now dropped out Of
sight as far as possible and is allowing
the New York newspapers, Federal Of
ficials and Cubans to do the lobbying
for it. 1t has been long time since
we have seen trust thus attempting
to control legislation, but the Sugar
Trust has done this so long in all mat
tiers relating to sugar that it feels per-
haps that it is entitled to dictate the
laws. This is bad enough in itself,
without having our Federal officials
lobbying in its interest.-New Orleans

should he Permanently Settled

Every generation has troubles
enough of it's own; it should not be
compelled to be continually fighting
over and over the same questions that
divided parties fifty years ago. Cues
lions once threshed out should stay so,
the wheat and the chaff separate. Ev-
cry intelligent American knew in 1910
that protection enriched this country,
benefting especially the worker for
wages, and that free trade and all ten
denotes to it took business away from
the country and so impoverished all
but very few. Why then, must these
lessons be learned over and over every
few years? Every new experience Of
the familiar facts scores deeper into
the nation and causes greater suffer-
ing than before. Why should any
party, for sheer partisan advantage,
seek to unsettle the public mind with
exploded theories? Let the American
SYSTEM remain henceforth the I'M
challenged policy of the nation. Such,
indeed, would be course of true pa
triotism,

TRY A WOLF SCHEME.
G. T. Mattingly Working It in Fifth
Ward

G.. T. Mattingly, formerly sewer in
spector under Mayor Hughes, is said to
be trying to work the Wolf system on
the Fifth ward county central commit
tee election which will occur Saturday,
in order to get himself elected as a
member of the committee in place of
James S. Warner, who has no opposi-
ton.
Matting1y is reported to be going
around among his friends and telling
them to write his name in the ticket in
place of Warner when they vote to-
morrow.
When Mr.. Warner was asked about
the alleged scheme, he said: 81 have
heard that Mr.. Mattingly was working
this scheme, but do not propose to ex-
ert myself on that account. 1 am not
mixing up in politics much, and if there
is sufficient sentiment in the Fifth
ward in favor of this system of stab
bling a man in the back, 1 am willing
to retire from the committee"

Commercially insolvencies in February,
according to reports to r. c. Dun &
Co, were 1 ,104 in number with an ag-
gregate Indebtedness of 81. S02, 029. In
the same month last year there were
1924 defaults, amounting to 81, 2S7 ,211.
The moderate increase in number was
mainly due to misfortunes at the south
where bankruptcies We're numerous in
general stores, although the amount of
money involved was not large. Manu-
featuring failures during February
were 23S in number and $4,915,015 in
amount, compared with 212 last year
for S4,39S,74 Trading insolvencies num-
bered 800 and aggregated $4.737. 591.

other commercial disasters there were
sc. involving $1.649, 523. compared with So
in February, 1901, aggregating 81, 443, 597.
This division showed a material de-
crease in liabilities as compared with
last years losses. In the class covering
banks, trust companies, and other
fiduciary institutions the comparison is
still more satisfactory. only three fail
ures being reported during February
involving but $145,O00. compared with
seven last year for $432, 1872.

REBUKES THE KING.
DIR. Parker Creates Excitement
in London Church.

London, March There was strfk-
ing scene in the city temple yesterday
when during the course of his sermon
the Rev Joseph Parker. D. D., the min
lister, administered a pointed rebuIxe to
King Edward, which was loudly APP
plauded by the congregation. Having
alluded to public houses as trap doors
of hell,p DR.. Parker referred to the
kings recent brewing of beer while Wis
iting Lord Burton Pray for me- said
the divine, that 1 may speak delicate
ly, loyalty. If the king brews beer, what
can be wrong in the subject drinking it?
What the king does is likely to be imi-
tated by others. His majesty is more
than man and must regard all ques-
tons from a kingly point of view. If
the king goes to a Sunday concert, as
he did recently, he deals a deadly blow
to the Englishman'S Sunday. The king
can not attend a non-conformist place
of worship, but he can go to a Sunday
concert"
This remark called forth cries of
shame" and DIR. Parker continued:
IF the king, who is the head of the
church and defender of the faith, can
violate the English Sunday what can
the people do but follow in his steps?
1 would rather give a great sum in
gold than appear to be disloyal; but 1
cannot be disloyal to Christ and it is
better that these things should be said"

UTERMAN BREAKS AWAY.
Refused to Submit to Quarantine For
Smallpox.

H. A. Uterman, who has been in quaran-
tine at 212 East Ninth street for small
pox. broke away from the house shortly
before noon today, assaulted ex-Patrol
Driver Asher, who was on guard, and
made his escape.
A warrant has been sworn out for his
arrest on the double charge of violating
quarantine regulations and assaulting the
guard.
1t is claimed that Uterman struck Asher
across the hand with club. Asher's hand
was bleeding profusely when he came to
the city building to report. what had hap
pened.
The police were instructed by he san
itary sergeant to watch outgoing trains in
order TO prevent Mr.. Uterman getting
away from town
Mr. Uterman claims that he has had
smallpox and is immune and should there
fore not be obliged to submit to quaran-
tine simply because he happened to be in
a boarding house where case of the dis
ease occurred. He has objected very
strenuously to being shut up, and his vio-
lent measures for securing release were
therefore not wholly unexpected

United States to invite the government
of Canada to Join in the formation of

the waters that are boundaries
of the two countries was re-
ported favorably from the committee
on commerce.
Mr.. Hoar (Mass.) urged that the
measure ought to be considered by the
foreign relations committee as it opened
"a very important and a very delicate
question involving diplomatic proce-

the committee on foreign relations. A
resolution offered by Mr.. Harris (Kan.)
directing the committee on Indian af-
fairs to investigate the matter of the
removal of certain Creek Indians from
the lands assigned to them and to re-
port by bill or otherwise was adopted.
The senate agreed to a conference
with the house upon the bill providing
for the redemption of certain internal
revenue stamps and Messrs. Aldrich

of the senate. On motion of Mr.. Hale

that they should agree to remain in the
service for ten years. The amendment
was agreed to.
The bill as amended then was passed.
The senate resumed consideration of
the bill providing for the protection of
the president of the United States.
Continuing his speech begun yester-
day Mr.. Bacon contended that the
enactment of the bill in its present form
would be an extension of treason, as
defined by the authorities. He quoted
