Theory and Practice.

Although in theory Mrs. Clarence
Mackay is of the opinion that moral
suasion is just too cunning for any
thing, she is ready, after having served
a term as school trustee, to allow
corporal punishment to raise a few ar
tistic welts on the tender hides of the
youth of the land just for the purpose
of mildly calling their attention to the
fact that they are not running the
works.
To govern by love is a beautiful
and inspiring thing when you are al
lowing some one else to do the govern
ing, but it takes a strongminded per-
son to keep his theories intact when he
tries to apply them to lot of miscel-
laneous kids.
We tremble to think of great rough
skate strap being applied to our own
loved ones, but it is seldom that we can
view the neighbours children with an
impartial eye without rejecting that a
fine spanking would do them a world
of good.

are defined as conspiracy against
trade" and punishable by n fine OF
from $50 to 5000, or Imprisonment
for from six to twelve months. AS
to the evidence required to convict
the statute says:
1T shall be sufficient to prove that
a trust or combination as defined here
in exists, and that the defendant be-
longed to it, or acted for or in connec-
ton with it. without proving all the
members belonging to it or proving or
producing any article of agreement or
any written instrument on which it
may have been based; or that it was

WELL, IT DEPENDS.

You hear about a great reform
To elevate your fellow man.
Some project that is very warm.
nifty and a noble plan
To make the human race advance
And give the poorest man chance
But whether ii appeals to you
Depends upon your point OF view.
A measure that looks very fine
Some party is about to spring
To keep the doubtful ones in line
And others to the standard bring;
A plot to make the whole world good,
If every one would just saw wood.
But whether you can catch the note
Depends somewhat on how you vote.
IF some one pretty close to you
Is booster for the holy cause
You take a hold and see il through
And bolster il with loud applause.
IF it's an enemy to win.
You do not see where you come in.
And when the booster sings his tune
He finds you gazing at the moon.
Yes. very sad to think about.
The merit does not cut much ice.
For these who for the measure shout
Are slyly looking for the price
And those who are not in the deal
A very languid interest feel;
Those on the ground floor. opine,
Without assistance get in line.
