Officers of the Law Needed in Labrador.

Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, the Premier of Labrador" as he is dubbed by those who love and honor him, holds sway over a population of 10000 people, of whom 5000 are whites settled along the south coast, as many more Eskimos scattered along the northern water front of that rigorous land, while the remain. der are mostly fiaAH,breed En- dians. Besides these, Labrador is visited each summer by 10000 persons from Newfoundland, of which it is dependency, to en. gage in fishing.
 Notwithstanding all these di. versified races and interests, there is no court nor jail, magis- trate nor policeman, nor any other officer of the law on this 1000 miles of seaboard, nor in the interior, where multitudes are wrestling a subsistence from the ocean and the land.
 Whenever any serious charge is made, a magistrate is sent, or is supposed to be, from New. foundland. to attend to it. And yet for B years no session of court has been held, and In 50 years the only criminal charge that has been recorded was that against an Eskimo, whose jeal. ousy was aroused against a rival in his wife's affections, and who shot the man as he was walking by her side.
 Forty years ago a circuit court was se4t there exeeV spmneF, but as it found nothing to claim its attention, it went out of busi. ness and was finally abolished.
 Years ago, Labrador was fa- nous as being a rendezvous and stronghold of pirates, often re- quiring a French squadron to break it up, bat in recent years unusual attention has been paid to the region, and it is now hoped that even piracy, carried on by freebooters from afar, is a thing of the past.

American Goods in Mexico.

"American merchants could do 30 per cent. more business in Mexico were they to study the character and condition of trade in our country" said Walter l. Grevei. of Mexico City.
 "The main trouble with the slow sale sf Amerieos MeBchan- disc in Mexico is the fact that the merchants and manufac- turers demand that payment for their goods be sent upon the re- ceipt of the bill for the same, and this bill arrives a month in ad- vance of the goods. Of course, our merchants do not favor the idea of paying for goods before receiving them. On the other hand, European merchants are liberal in giving time limits of as high as six months, and as a consequence enjoy a good por- tion of our trade" ."-Washington Post.

Temperance Teachings.

A notable event in the great reform" the past week was the request announced under the will of one of Michigan's sons, a gift of $52OO0 to the work of the prohibition party.
 Special despatches to leading daily papers give the informa- tion that Oklahoma will no doubt vote for prohibition when it comes into the Union. Already seventy five towns have abolish ed the saloon, in prohibition in Indian Territory.
 We have had quite good deal of correspondence in regard to the w. C. T. U. tent which is to be erected on the encampment at Fort Riley, Kansas, where the Soldier boys of Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma are to spend August and September.
 We notice that our boys have left Ft. Logan Roots for quite an overland journey. We pride ourselves that they can feel at home in this large tent because the white Ribbon Mothers of Arkansas lent a hand to help make such a restful retreat pos sible. It is in order here to say that the new captain of this com pany when accepting this office made the statment that he was a "teetotaler" and insisted that his assistants also take the pledge. If we mistake not they did our own Ella M. Thacher, Nat ional Superintendent of the work among soldiers and sailors will be present at this encampment. She is known among them as Mother. " She is a remarkable woman with the most beautiful white hair crOWninp a young motherly face.
 In forts and barracks, on board United States Men of War and in soldiers homes she organizes christian Temperance Unions, and many are the hearts of sol dier boys tenderly touched by her gentle ministry. H e r home is in Florence, New Jersey and every Thursday afternoon the women of the w. c. T. U. meet at her home to make the comforts baos for the soldier boys who have signed the total abstinence pledge. Some ohe may not know what these con- fort bags are and what they mean to the boys far from the caaveniences of home. They are bags that contain scissors, cotton tape, testament and other little necessaries. Mrs. Thacher has secured permission from t h e Navy to place libraries in our battle ships, the w. c. T. U. of the varous states rasing the money to buy the books for the ships bearing the name of their state. All these tokens of re-

PLANT A TREE OR TWO.

Governor Joseph X. Toole has is
sued the following Arbor day pro-
clamation:
1.-THE people of this state are be-
ginning 10 reap the pleasure and profit
of planting trees. 1t is important
that this great work should continue
to receive the assistance and encour-
agement of every man, woman and
child who cares for the welfare of the
state.
"There is fine patience and broad
charity in the man who plants a tree.
No one action better typities the real
purpose of our living.
"He who plants a tree may never
enjoy its shade or gaze upon it's full
grown splendor, but he is doing what
he can to make the world whole
somer and happier dwelling place for
those who come after him.
'Of all mans works of art a cathe-
dral is the greatest. A vast and majes-
tic tree is greater than that. If the
groves were the first temples, it is
equally true that the tree was the
first to suggest to mans mind the
infinite.
"From the first it has furnished
man with shelter and fue.. Under
its leafy dome the greatest charter Of
human rights has been signed; the
worlds greatest treaties have there
been written; and the surrender of
great armies has been concluded there.
But for the tree human history would
be thin tale soon told.
Beneath the tree the weary have
rested and found strenghth and hope;
there lovers have trysted ever since
love first illumined the world; there
children have played and restored it;
to the soothing shade man ever has
turned with his griefs, and found
calm and peace.
Gle who plants tree plants shade, |
rest. love, hope, peace for troubled
ones who will come his way when he
is gone. Is it not noble monoment |
to leave?
"There is nothing in which God
asks so little of us and gives SO much
as in the planting of tree. He gives
the seed, the moisture, the sunshine,
the air-aye, and the selfish impulses
to do our own little part of just plant
ing it comes from him, too"
I accordingly, and pursuant to law,
hereby designate Tuesday, May s,
| 1906, as Arbor day, and hereby declare !
the same to be legal holiday, at
which day it is to be hoped that the
people of this state will, with one ac-
cord, observe the spirit and purpose
of this proclamation.
In witness whereof. have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great seal
of the state of Montana to be affixed.
