from Lanham, Md, as follows:

THE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC RAIL
ROAD AND WESTERN CANADA.
Will Open Up Immense Area of Free
Homestead Lands.

The railway facilities of Western
Canada have been taxed to the ut
termost in recent years to transfer
the surplus grain crop to the eastern
markets and the seaboard. The large
influx Of settlers and the additional
area put under crop have added large
ly to the grain product, and notwith-
standing the increased railway facil-
tiles that have been placed at the dis
posal of the public, the question OF
transportation has proved to be Sc
rious one.
It will, therefore, be good news to
ada to know that an authoritative
statement has been given out by C..
M. Hays, president of the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway, that that rail-
way will do it's share towards moving
the crop of 1907 from Alberta, Sas-
katchewan and Manitoba to tide water,
and thus assist in removing serious
obstacle which has faced the settlers
during recent years. Mr.. Hays, who
has just completed a trip from Port
age la Prairie to Edmonton in a prai-
RE schooner a distance of 735 miles,
which was covered in eighteen days,
Is enthusiastic about the country.
This will be gratifying to settlers in
the Canadian West, even If Mr. Hays
declines to be bound to time limit
with the exactitude Of stop-watch.
The Grand Trunk Pacific road will be
In position to take part in the trans
portation of the crop of 1907, and that
will be satisfactory to the settlers In
that country when the harvest is gar.
nered.
The wheat crop of 1906 in Western
Canada was about 10000, 900 bushels.
and, with the increased acreage which
is confidently expected to be put un.
der crop next year, it is safely calcu-
lated that fully 125, 000, 900 bushels win
be harvested in 1907. The necessity
for increased transportation facilities
are. therefore, apparent, and the state
ment made by Mr.. Hays will bring en-
couragement to the farmers of the
Canadian West, new and old. The
opening up Of additional thousands Of
free homesteads is thus assured by
the agent OF the Canadian Govern
ment. whose address appears else,
where.

Diamond Window Pan.s

Many people who live in the modern
antique style of house find it difficult
to effectnally clean and polish the dia-
mond window panes. The following
method of doing so will be found to
answer. Stir little kerosene into
warm water, soak a>pad of newspaper
in it, s~d squeeze almost dry; clean
the pane with this, wipe with soft
cloth, and then polish it'll pad ef
dry newspaper.

Hard Sauce.

Put into a warm bowl one-quarter
cup butter and one-half cup powdered
sugar. Mix with a wooden spoon or
spatula, beating hard for Is minutes.
Flavor with one-half tablespoonful
lemon, vanilla or a little nutmeg or
powdered mace, as preferred, beat a
little longer, pack smoothly on small
plate or pile lightly in a fancy dish.
and set on the ice until very hard. A
pleasing change is to add a table
spoonful currant jelly after Dreaming
the butter and sugar, then beat light.

 We'll, just such matters as these are what the Initiative and Referendum is for.
 But again, it is said by some that it would keep an endless political agitation.
 We do not so understand it. In fact the result would be the very opposite. It would do away with political parties.
 Now we may see two parties each advocating something that we think is good, and each advo- eating something that we think is not good. We choose between the two evils. We are necessarily bound to take some things that we do not want, in order to get some things that we do want.

Why so they could get the free and unlimited coinage of silver, of course.
 But alas, They knew what they wanted, but they did not know how to get 1t.
 Instead of getting the free coinage of silver which they did want, they got S362, 900, GOO. % in bonds which they did not want. They got silver luther demon etized and dishonored. They voted for prosperity and they got the worst panic this country has ever seen. They voted for good times and good wages. They got starvation and tramps.
 Suppose that in the good year of 1893 when the panic began to blow, and congress was voting against silver every time, that the people could have had an op-

endum it would not be so. We could select the good from all and reject the evil.
 Of course this measure is not good for boodlers. It is not good for crafty politicians who try to deceive the people. It is not good for those who believe the prople are not capable of self govern ment.
 It is pre- eminently a measure in the interest of the people and against the oppressor.
 w. J. Bryan is certainly far in advance of some of his party on this measure.

Initiative and Referendum

w. J. Bryan spoke in favor ot the Initiative and Referendum, so we are informed.
 We are also told that Mr. Bryan was not cheered very Justify on this proposition by the audience.
 It seems that the greater part of the people, or at least a very large per cent of the people of this country have not carefully studied this measure, and do not yet understand 1t.
 They seem to think that If that was part of our organic law as it will soon be in the new state of Oklahoma, and as 1t now IS in the state of Washington, every law passed would have to be got ten up Gnitiatei) by petition, and then referred to the people for ratification.
 While this is not true, yet If 1t was even true, we very seriously doubt if the legislation would be one half as expensive as it now is. But such is by no means the case. The Initiative and Refer endum would simply be provi- sion placed in our organic law providing that when the people so desired they might initiate a measure and refer it to the peo- pie for ratification.
 - It woul be direct democracy. It woldm'be a provision by which the people could act when their representative failed to do so. It would be simply reserving the power in the hands of the peo- pie.
 It might never be invoked, and yet 1t might become absolutely necessary to invoke its provisions to maintain the common welfare. To say the least Of it, it Is simply areserve force by which the peo- pie would be supreme in fact as they now claim to be in theory.
 In 1873 silver was demonltlzed in a secret manner by the nation al congress. John sherman put a little harmless looking measure in a general coinage bill that no one suspected of being the real, hideous monster that 1t was, and by it silver was demonitized.
 Suppose the people had then possessed the right under the law to demand a vote on that measure. How long would that infamous measure have lasted? If we had the initiative and re- ferendum such measures as that could not be worked off on the people. Yet this measure was passed an 1873 and while every body in congress claimed to know nothing of it's purpose or lnten- ton. they have never yet been able to get it repealed. Suppose the people had a chance to get a vote on that measure.
 Again, in 1892 the people all over this country voted for Grover Cleveland for president so they could get a law provid ing for the restoration of silver. They wanted the free and unli- mited coinage of silver and gold at the ration of l6 to 1, They, or many of them thought the best way on this earth to get that was to vote for Cleveland. They did vote for him, and he was elected. Not only did they elect Cleveland to the presidency but they also elected both houses of congress overwhelmingly demo- cratic. What did they do t for?

SUBJECT A DELICATE ONE
Unless Satisfactory Agree
ment is Reached Grave
Complications Feared.

Washington, July 1.-THE ap-
proach OF the first of August, marking
the beginning of the new Herring
fishing season on the coasts of New
Foundland, is matter of great con.
cern to the state department for it
finds the fisheries controversy be.
tween America and Great Britain in
a most confused and unsatisfactory
shape.
The Modus Vivendi entered into
last year, by the terms of which and
greatly against the wish of New
Foundlanders, American fishermen
were permitted to ply their vocation
unmolested off the shores of that isl
and, expired with the close of the
fishing season.
Indications today are that it will be
difficult to reach any permanent set
tlement of the trouble and the whole
effort of negotiations is apparently
concentrated for the moment on
drafting some form of modus yven-
di to guard against the development
of friction that might have serious re-
suits.
New Foundlanders have suggested
the reference of the whole subject Of
the conflicting treaty to the Hague
tribunal and our government is not
averse to such an arrangement under
certain limitations.
