The Heresy Of Hearsay.

Only hearsay Is heresy. Only per
sonal convictions are convincing. The
man who is true to himself cannot be
traitor to the truth. There is sin in
accepting forms of faith. but none in
rejecting them, when they r con
trary to ones own thought. The only
heresy worthy the name is in accept
ing truth merely on hearsay. Heresy
hunters, If they r really in earnest.
"a find plenty Of game, but must be
careful not to shoot themselves or
each other. Whatever in religion is
not directly revealed and recognized
is pure hearsay, and the acceptance Of
hearsay is pure heresy. Art thou q
hereto?

Ottawa, Aug. 10.-The labor depart.
ment reports that at present no gov
eminent interference in the Canadian
Pacific strike is contemplated. Under
the provisions of the Leznisux act
there can be no sympathetic strike
of other unions until a grievance has
first been stated and inquiry has been
made by a board Of investigation. The
only a in which a further number
of Canadian Pacific employees might
now go on strike is in consequence of
the finding Of the board appointed
last May on application Of the oper-
ators' union to investigate the alleged
wrongful dismissal Of an operator at
Meganti Quebec. It is expected that
this board is now ready to report and
that the finding will be in favor Of the
union. The Canadian Pacific will &C
cept the award and consequently q
strike Of the operators cannot take
place on this score

winnipeg, aug. lV.-ln0 CauaQla0
Pacific railway today had built a sec
ond high fence around the shops prop
erty. General Manager BURY wired
to Montreal to have a thousand me-
chanics forwarded at once II possible.
It was stated that the men employed
in the Canadian Pacific railroad stores
will walk out tomorrow morning In
sympathy with the present strikers.
The men are said to object to issuing
stores to strikebreakers.
The company has imported "a Thiel
and Pinkerton detectives to watch the
movements of the strikers in the west.
William White, second vice presi-
dent, left Vancouver tonight for Win
nipeg. The men look to him to effect
a settlement. Whyte issued q state
ment today denying the report that
the Canadian Pacific was importing
strikebreakers from the United States
to replace the strikers. II skilled
and unemployed machinists in the
United States voluntarily sought work
in Canada that was their W affair.
Another high official Of the company
pointed out that the machinists who
walked out had on their own account
deprived themselves of any claims to
share the benefits Of the Canadian Pa
cific railway pension system.
Reports from points west Indicate
that the rolling stock is beginning to
feel the strain Of the strike. It is
pointed out by the labor union that
a sympathic strike by other railroad
mems unions t 0 aid the striking ma
chinists has been suggested would be
a violation Of the Lemieux act.
The first act Of violence Of the
strike occurred last night when almost
all the windows in the coaches Of a
passenger train were broken by
stones hurled by unknown persons in
the st. Boniface yards across the Red
river from here. No one was injured.
With regard to an assertion that
the present struggle is between the
railroad and union leaders rather than
the men, j. H. McVey said:
Such a statement is absurd. There
was not time enough before the issu-
ing of the arbitration commission
award and the beginning Of the strike
for us to influence the men,. Nor was
any such attempt made. All that was
submitted to the men was the award
of the commission with the question
whether the men would accept or not.
The vote for a strike was an abso-
lutely spontaneous movement by the
men themselves and they are sticking
to it with practically unanimity."
The strikers emphatically deny that
the engineers union will support
them. The strikers say that in anoth-
err week many of the trains will be
unfit for the road.
At Brandon, Manitoba, where 200
men are out, the strike situation was
given new life last evening when the
company brought in from the east 81
men. "A majority Of them are expert
mechanics and boilermakers. The
railroad yards are ~patrolled at night
by guards armed with rifles.

Eczema is Now Durable.

A st. Louis chemist, after many
years of careful experimenting and in
vestigation, has discovered a simple
remedy that has cured hundreds of
cases of eczema that had been pro-
nounced incurable. This chemist be-
lieved that eczema and all itching
skin diseases were of local origin and
We're caused by germs which attacked
and fed on the skin. He began to
search for a remedy that would de-
stroy these germs, and found that by
combining the active principles of GER
tain well known vegetable drugs, and
applying them locally, the first appli-
cation stopped the itching and burn
ing, and if used persistently woulo
drive all germs and their poisons to
the surface of the skin, and destroy
them, leaving a nice, clear, healthy
skin. He gave this remarkable rem
edy the suggestive name of Zemo,
and since it's introduction to the pub
lie Zemo has proved very pppular
remedy and is today recognized the
most successful and meritorious rem
ledy ever produced for the relief and
cure of eczema and all diseases OF
the skin and scalp.
Harper House pharmacy endorses
and recommends Zemo and says that
they believe Zemo to be an honest
medicine and will do all that is claim
ed for it.
