Canada Helping Farmers to
Find a Market
PHASE OF PATERNALISM
b Found in the Province of Alberta.
One Result Is to Teach the
Dairymen Principles
of Cleanliness.

There are more kinds of paternalism in
Canada than you can shake stick at.
For a long time, writes a correspondent
of the Washington Star from Calgary Al
berta, the dominion government has been
playing the kindly and generous father
toward the various railroads, and now it
is churning butter and marketing eggs for
the farmer. The visitor from the states
is very much inclined to ask: What
next?" And he may do it without receiV-
ing any satisfactory reply.
In direct cooperation with a railway
corporation the government is now en-
gagged in building a transcontinental rail-
road. The first transcontinental road in
the United States was built by system
of land grants, long since declared odious
The first transcontinental line in Canada
was constructed by land concessions, conn
pared to which our own were not drop
in the bucket. Moreover, the completing
OF one transcontinental line in Canada did
not accomplish for the dominion what the
building of the Union Pacific did for the
states. Before Canada could secure an
other transcontnental line the govern
gage in railroad building on its own hook
Now it proposes to construct part of
line from Winnipeg east for 1900 miles and
lease it to the Grand Trunk Pacific, and
all this because the task was considered
too great for any corporation to tackle.
While the government is helping TO build
the railways the provinces are aiding de-
velopment in every way possible, and
even the cities, taking their cue from gov
eminent and province are doing innumer-
able other things that in the states are
invariably left to private enterprise. or
course the dominion might have preferred
all these things to come as they nave
come in the states-by the effort or pri-
waite enterprise-but weary years waiting
for new blood and new people to come
have failed to populate sections as pro-
ductive as any in the best sections OF the
states

Ter proposition than it is in any of the
states In the north country homestead
can be secured for $40 and an occupancy

are required, and the land costs $l.2o an
acre.

Canada the government churns the but

for him.

Just the same as they are across the bor-

LECTURE ON HOLY EUCHARIST
Rev. Father sherman Continues
Series of Lectures to Nom
Catholics.

Rev. Thomas Ewing Sheruan's subject
last night in his course Of lectures to nom
Catholics at Creighton university audi
torlum was The Holy Eucharist" The
auditorium was so filed with people that
many had to stand during the lecture.
Father Sherman spent most OF his time
explaining the doctrine of the trans-sub-
sanitation. very difficult for most nom
Catholics to understand.
III there is any religion except Christ
in the eucharist, It is humbug." said Father
Sherman. Christ broke the bread and
gave It to the disciples saying Eat this
is my body he gave them the wine, say
ing, This Is my blood OF the New Testa-
ment.' He tells you this bread and wine
you take is his body and blood, and that
Is what it Is. Your sight tells you the
bread is something white, your touch tells
you it's something hard your taste tells
you 1t Is bread. Deny your senses and
believe il is the body OF Christ, for He
says Il is. Luther says Christ is there
and the bread is there and Christ is in the
bread. The Lord says. This is my body
Which will you believe. Christ or Luther?
DR.. Pussy, the great Anglican, says Christ
and the bread are there. Which will you
believe, Christ or Pussy?
THE Lord is in the eucharist by way of
rans-substantiation. That name Is not
found until the eleventh century, but that
does not prove the doctrine was not taught
before. Trans-substantiation and the words
This is My body mean the same thing.
The only way we can verify these four
words is to say that which was bread Is
Christ. Trans-substantiation is the term
ing away Of one thing and the putting
another I'm its Dlace"
