Manitoba's total wheat crop for 1907

The average yield per acre is lower

has been compensated for in higher
prices. The shortness of the season

the first visit by explorers had lost
come accomplishments which they had
when first visited. History indicates
that man does not advance without aid
from the outside. II this is true, the
evolutionary theory is not true. 1t IS
like the pitcher hat breaks at the very
threshold. For. II man cannot. by his
own effort alone, advance from stage
of savagery to one of civilization, how
much less can a monkey advance to tho
stage of uncivilized man? Conjectures
will not remove this objection.
Another difficulty is found in the
fact that man. within the entire horl-.
zon OF history. has not advanced so
very much. No matter how far we
go back, we find orators and explorers,
and poets, and architects. and artisans
that must command the admiration
of our own ago. II we were to sup
pose that our enormous advances IN
science and command over nature serve
as demonstrations of our mental su-
periority to the men of earlier ages
we would be mistaken. The evidence
OF history and OF the earliest monu-
nents alike goes to indicate that our
intellectual and moral nature has not
advanced in any perceptible degree.
Even the supposed great mental infer1-
GRITTY of savages is unfounded. or rather
founded in ignorance and preJud1ces.
Even the SO long despised Australians-
almost the lowest III material progress
yet show by their complex language,
their elaborate and social regulations
and often by an innate nobility of
character, Indications OF very similar
inner nature to our own. In the high
er Pacific types We find men VINO,
though savages as regards material
progress, are yet generally admitted to
alphabetically. intellectually and mo-
rally-cur equals, il not our superiors.
And we have no proof whatever that
even the men of the stone age We're
mentally or morally inferior to our
selves. These are facts for which evo-
lutionists fail to account.
The student will peruse with inter-
est the volume by Or. Burns. 1t con-
tans many data on the history OF the
earth and man.
one word Of criticism may be
offered here. The author assumes
that Asia was the cradle OF the human
race. This has not been proved. The
probability Is that man first appeared
In America, and that civilization spread

A DINNER OF VALUE.

The eating of meat under the same.

been a sign and symbol of social equal.
ity, Of hospitality extended from an
equal to his equal.
Friday night the president of labor
union dined at the Commercial Clup
with the governor Of state. Ihere
were present leading labor men, ana
leading business men, politicians ana
officers Of the club. Each person
present came to the dinner with
special view point, and all We're bene-
fitted by learning more OF the We"
point Of the others.
The men OF the labor union told OF the
beginning of the eight-hour law when
labor spoke out for a right to the JOYS
OF domestic life, following the day OF;
toll for an industry. The men OF
Salt Lake assured President Huber OF
the Carpenters and Joiners' union that
he was welcome to this city, that the
convention over which he presides IS
not regarded as u menace TO tho peo-
ple, that labor has q dignity to 1t that
is entitled to recognition.
On a. larger scale, a Chicago CONNER
cial body Is soon to secure another
interchange of points OF view, when
it will bring the Democratic candidate
for President and the Republican can
didate for President together at a
banquet board, with the leading sup
porters of each as the other guests
Such meetings are productive Of good,
and are hopeful signs pointing to the
coming era that Is to be less Warlike,
less full OF strife, and more extensive
in the general regard for the welfare
of all on the part of each Individual
in ordering the private events Of his
life
The idea President Huber conveyed
last night OF labor union leader was
not a rough-necked bully, surrounded
by walking delegates, and melting
strike merely to antagonize and cripple
his employer. Instead 1t was of an
honest man, measuring hopefully the
needs of the laboring multitude and
| attempting to bring to this multitude
a little more sunshine, a little more
happiness, and q little more bread in
the bread box. A strike he deplored
| as a last resort after all other measures
| had failed. and he spoke Of a certain
regard the laboring man must have
for the employer to bring a fair adj
justinent with both sides as parties to
| it.
1t Is good to see disappearing from
the arguments Of labor leaders, the
class conscious talk, the bitter words
! for other portions of the mass making
up the brotherhood OF human society,
| and the angry appeal to the passions
of part of the people against other
! parts.
We hope to see many such dinners as
that given last night in Salt Lake, and
| the steady growth through the nation
| of the spirit in which it was arranged.

RELIGION AND POLITICS,

THE CAMPAIGN.

Thus far tho campaign in Utah has
progressed with a fair amount OF
dignity and courtesy between the rep
resentatiVes of the two great national
parties. OF course. few people pay
serious attention to the filth and
scurilty emanating from the Tribune.
And this is true even Of its own
readers That sheet may we'll pass
unnoticed, but all lovers of decency
and fair play Will unite in hoping that
other political opponents here will
keep on keeping their tempers, re-
specting each others opinions, and II,
they must disagree, disagreeing as
men of sense and as gentlemen. IN
this connection attention may be
called to the fact that Mr.. Taft and
Mr. Bryan are to meet upon and
speak from the same platform on
non-politioal subject, IN Chicago next
month, and that on Thursday last
the Democratic nominee for governor
Of New York Mr.. Chanler. intro
duced the Republican nominee, Gov.
Hughes, at a flagraising. Both men
were unanimously cheered, as they
should have been.

But, as for the Tribune, the ques-
ton naturally arises, Is it necessary
for the triumph of the so-called AM
erican cause to have an organ" of
which Ananias would be thoroughly
astamed? Is it necessary for the
victory of that cause to assail
church with all the falsehoods malice
American cause TO scorn the paths of
decency and righteousness and band
together those who love and make

Is consigned to the bottomless pit
the better for all concerned. No
good cause was ever served by such

ployed by the Tribune. No party
can hope to succeed under the leader

as nearly the prototype Of the Trlb-
unc as any character ever drawn by
