Canada, the EVeIesS Eden.

Canada is winning the unenvia-
BILE reputation of all Eveless Eden.
The men outnumber the women,
and even immigration does not
mend matters, for it is figured

who have arrived in Canada since
the first of the year. not more
than eight per cent. of them have
been women. OF this eight per

women. In the western part of
the Dominion the lack of, women
is a serious handicap to the de-
velopment of the country. The
settlers cannot find wives, and as
woman plays just as important a
part as man in the drama of a
new country, the government of
Canada is worriedgover the unen-
viable situation. The govern

immigrants that has arrived this

Political Domination Of Uuions.

1t is a fact that the power of
the labor unions is so great in San
francisco that even the newspa-
pers will uot print the truth about
the situation. With a union
mayor, a union board of super
visors, and complete union politi-
cal domination these organiza.
tlons have all their own way, and
will bave until they have s ralned
the tension to the swapping point.
Even the promotion comm ttee
that sent out such reckless boom
statements on the rebuilding Of
San Francisco that they are now
being reviled for their hysterical
optimism, did not disseminate
the truth about the labor situation.
This committee urged young
pr, fesslonal men to rush to the
coast to help in the. immediate
re building, when a glance at the
ruins of the city would have con-
vlnced the most casual observer
that there would be no actual re-
building for months. But no ad-
jective-splattered circular sent
out by this committee mentioned
the fact that the real opportunity
was for the working man and la.
borer, and not for the engineer
and architect.
1t may seem cruel to say it, but
this promotion committee is as
much under the thumb of organiz-
ed labor as are the municipal Of
ficers of the city. Practically the
labor unions have edited the pro-
motion committees copy. and
they edited out of it all reference
to the high wages that could be OBJ
tanned i'll any branch of the build
ing craft. The unions are really
not as strong as they are believed
to be, and any considerable i'm
.portation of labor would under
mine them.-San Francisco letter

Deserter DishonorabIy Discharged,

Matthew Fortner, the preacher
sailor from South Carolina, was
dishonorably discharged from the
United States navy yesterday.
Fortner is the young man who,
while telling of his ministerial
calling to a recruiting officer. was
advised to enlist in the navy to
study the conditions which might
aid him in his work when he en-
tered the army of gospel workers.
Fortner enlisted, but says he did
not find the navy suitable to a
young mar of his morals, and he
deserted. He was arrested in a
divinity college in South Carolina,
where he was pursuing his studies
for the ministry. Fortner stated
that he will return to South Caro-
ina to pursue his studies for the
ministry.-Norfolk, Va, dispatch.

The Ohio Way.

They must have a very strin-
gent antitrust law in Ohio. Five
prominent and wealthy citizens
of Toledo formed a combine of
the ice business and advanced the
price of ice. They were indicted
under the Ohio antitrust law and
convicted. They doubtless ex-
pected to get off with a fine, but
the judge who tried the case i'm
posed a heavy fine and sentenced
them to a year each in the work
house, which probably in a meas
ure corresponds to the chain gang
in this part of the country. Bnt
now comes the astonishing part,
and that is that the case could
not be appealed, and no techni-
cality could be found to stay the
sentence. At last account the ice
trust magnates, some OF them
worth 800. 900, we're in the coun-
ty Jail, while their attorneys we're
devislng ways and means to save
them from the workhouse. The
Judge intimated that if they
would make restitution to those
they had robbed he might change
the sentence, and while they SEEM
ed willing to do this, the difficult
ty of getting the amounts appor-
toned among hundreds and per-
haps thousands cf customers was
a problem. At last account the
price of ice had dropped while the
combiners were yet in Jail. T. we
had some more laws like the Ohio
statute that proved so effective in
this case, and judges with the
nerve to enforce them, the mo-
nopolists might not have such
plain sailing.-Statesville Land

White Babies to Negroes.

Macon, Ca, June 29.-That
many white babies have been
given away by their mothers to
negro women in Macon is the
startling announcement made by
DR.. J. L. White, pastor of the
First Baptist church, of Macon.
Six children have been rescued
already and DR.. White states that
several other similar cases have
been brought to the attention of
himself and members of his con-
g%regation.
The half-dozen be bies already
found have been placed in the Hep
zibah Orphan Home. The others
will be placed there Immediately.
Dr.. White, in an interview
given ont last night, says that
moral and social ulcers of the
most loathsome nature bave been
unearthed in the city Of Macon.
He says conditions have been dis
covered here that could not exist
in heather countries where cam
nibalism is not practiced.
Attorneys and detectives have
been employed and will make a
thorough investigation Ct the
Macon slums. III every case the
children discovered have been
found to be Legitimate.

THE CHILDREN WE KEEP.
By Mrs. E. V. Wilson

The children kept coming one by one,
Till the boys were five and the girls
were three.
And the big brown house was alive with
fun,
From the basement floor to the old
roof-tree.
Like garden flowers the little ones
grew
Nurtured and trained with tenderest
care;
Warmed by loves sunshine. bathed in
dew,
They blossomed into beauty rare
But one of the boys grew weary one
day.
And leaning his head on his mothers
breast,
He said. IT am tired and cannot play:
Let me sit awhile on your knee and
rest"
She Graded him close to her fond en-
brace
She hushed him to sleep with her
sweetest song,
And rapturous love still lightened his
face
When his spirit had joined the heav-
emily throng.
Then the eldest girl, with her thought
full eyes,
Who stood where the brook and the
river meet
Stole softly away into Paradise
Fer the river had reached her
slender feet
While the fathers eyes on the graves
were bent,
The mother looked upward beyond
the skies:
Our treasures she whispered, '.were
only lent;
Our darlings were angels in earth's
disguise"
The years flew by, and the children
began
2 With longings to think of the world
outside,
And as each in turn became a man,
The boys proudly went from the
fathers side.
The girls were women so gentle and
fair,
That lovers were speedy to WOO and
to win:
And with orange-biooms in their braid
ed hair,
Their old home they left. new homes
to begin.
So. one by one the children have gone
The boys were five, the girls were
three
And the big brown house is gloomy and
lone
With but two old folks for its COM
pany.
They talk to each other about the past,
AS they sit together at eventide.
and say. ''All the children we keep at
last
Are the boy and girl who in child
hood died"

LA PLATA cANNERY.

We take this means of notifying those
who wish TO grow Tomatoes this year
for our cannery at La Plata, Md, that
we are now ready to contract for acreage
and will pay 81 so per ton, which is 224
cents per bushel, provided a sufficient
acreage is secured to Justify us in oper-
ating the house the coming season. This
is the same price we paid the first two
years the house was run, and is y cents
per bushel more than we paid last year.
Owing to the almost total failure of the
Tomato crop last year in all parts of the
country, the price Of spot goods, or
Tomatoes packed last season, has been
very high but this should have little or
no effect in influencing the farmers as to
what they should ask and receive for
the crop to be grown this year, as
future Tomatoes, or the 1906 pack,
are now selling at prices no higher than
they sold for in 1908 and 1904 when we
paid the same price to the farmers for
the raw stock as we are now offering.
We think it would be very unwise for
the farmers to allow a home market for
a product of their farms to be diseon-
tinued, but unless we can secure a suffi-
eient acreage at 221 cents per busheI to
justify us in operating the factory we
will not open it this season.
One of our representatives is now at
La Plata to receive contracts from the
farmers, and we will have another rep
resentative at the New Wills Hotel, in
La Plata, on Friday, March End, to give
any who have not before contracted a
final opportunity to contract in case
they wish to grow Tomatoes and keep
the canning house in operation this
season.

have been told that those engaged in
fighting the present move have refused
to accept one cent for their services.
Then must we infer, that a corruption
fund is being raised
Why certainly it should be submitted
to the vote
Again they ask for heavier penalties
for the breaking, and a stricter enforce
ment of the very laws which they them
selves are openly violating and are the
only violators. This is too much. 1t is
the greatest piece Of Pharisaical hypoc-
racy ever perpetrated on the public.
Truly they are martyrs-more sinned
against than SHINING.
Again, why did they not send their
petitions to others than dealers or ap-
peal for financial aid to outsiders What
damaging conclusions must be drawn
from such premises.
Surely the dealers have not a monop-
oily in the responsibility of poor old
Charles County.
It is gratsfying to learn that in this
vicinity the majority of the dealers re-
fused to notice either petition or tinan-
cial appeal. They evidently wish to be
known as men who are of a different
stamp, than to put private interest ahead
of public good or to value in dollars and
cents the sanctity of the home and the
salvation of their brothers soul.
Come out in the open, men, and fight
your cause as the Temperance men have
done theirs and if right and justice are
on your side you will find that the ne
cessity for that considerable expense
will have vanished.

Delightful Entertainment.

Last Friday night the Holy Ghost
Reotory, Issue, Md, was the scene Of
one Of the most pleasant and brilliant
social entertainments ever held in that
locality. The occasion was the enter
tanning by Father Myer at bis beautiful
home the Lyric Dramatic and Musical
Club Of his parish. The house was
beautifully Illuminated and the guests
on their arrival were received and well
coined By their pastor with that degree
of true Southern hospitality, Of which
Father Myer has imbibed so deeply and
which draws all towards him and makes
them feel sat homen in his presence.
Euohre, music and dancing were enjoyed
till midnight, when all retired to the
dining room, where a table fairly
grcaned beneath good things" Each
guest found at his place favor contain
ing souvenir, speech and fancy caps,
which when donned made quite a quaint
and spectacular scene. The speeches
being read, the repast was begun and
thoroughly enjoyed by all. Father Myer,
in few well chosen words, said that he
wihed to show in way little more
material than mere words his apprecia-
tion to those present for their work and
great success accomplished at the enter
tainment given at Lyric Hall, Harris
Lot, last Thanksgiving evening. He said
that he wished to come in closer contact
with the young people of his neighbor-
hood, and dwelt upon the assistance
which they can give pastor in his
work, and concluded by quoting the
Cardinal in saying that the young ladies
Of parish have more power to advance
the moral tone Of a parish than the pas
tor.
A business meeting was then held, at
which it was decided that the twelve
who took part in the entertainment at
Thanksgiving should be the charter
members of the club. The election OF
officers resulted as follows: Miss Alma
Lloyd, President Miss Sara Perry, Vice
President, and Miss Bessie Gardiner,
Secretary and Treasurer. 1t was also
decided to have the next entertainment
on Easter Monday evening. Those pres
ent were. Misses Alma Lloyd, Sara
Perry, Bessie Gardiner Messrs. Walter
Lloyd, Harry Edwards, Eugene Lloyd,
Sheppard Hayden, q. B. Lloyd, Will
Frere, Lancaster Lloyd. The adjourn
meut took place in the wee small hours
of the morning, all expressing their
gratitude and appreciation to Father
Myer for the delightful evenings pleas
ure accorded to them.
