LAURIER FORCES WIN
CANADIAN ELECTIONS
Premier viii Stay in Power With
His Majority Cut in Two.
GRAFT CHARGES FALL FLAT
Sir Wilfrid Laurier viii Continue to
Lead the Federal Cabinet at OF
tawa-Losses in Nova Scotia
Contest Extremely Bitter.

Ottawa, Ontario. - The general
elections of the Dominion House of
Commons, which took place through
out the Dominion, resulted in vic
tory for the Liberal party for another
term Sir Wilfrid Laurier will lead
the Federal Government at Ottawa.
The campaign has been one of the
most remarkable in the history OF
Canada. Practically it has been
fought on a single issue-that OF
graft. That Sir Wilfrid Laurier him
self is honest has been and is ads
mitted by even his most bitter enc
mics, but it is alleged by the Conser-
vatives that the Premier has been
either singularly shortsighted or sin
gularly unfortunate in choosing the
men who have been his lieutenants.
Conservative and Independent
newspapers throughout the dominion
have for months been making charges
against the Government of the grav-
est character charges which have
been supported by detailed state
ments and figures and by affidavits.
To all these accusations Sir Wilfrid
has made no reply except to declare
that his opponents have been search.
ing the sewers" for their argu.
ments. Neither have the Cabinet
Ministers attempted to refute the
numberless charges of corruption.
That there was ground for these
charges it was impossible for the
Liberals to deny, but the strong per-
sonality of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and
his vigorous railway policy minim.
lied the effect of the opposition at.
lacks, while an era of returning pros
perity, mainly brought about by a
fine harvest yield in the West, quite
offset the opposition cry for change
of government.
That the charges of graft made
against Ministers and prominent Lib
eral members fell rather fat in the
end Is indicated by the return OF
nearly every prominent Liberal
against whom the accusations were
levelled.
The returns indicate the following
results:
Nova Scotia - Twelve Liberals. G.
Conservatives; a government loss of 5.
New Brunswick-Ten Liberals, 3
Conservatives; a government gain
of 2.
Prince Edward Island-Three Lib.
erals, 1 Conservative; government
gain of 2.
Quebec orty-six Liberals, 10
Conservatives; no change.
Ontario-Thirty-se Liberals, sc
Conservatives out of So seats; a
slight government gain.
Manitoba-Three Liberals, 7 Con.
servatives; opposition gain of 3.
Saskatchewan - Five Liberals; 2
Conservatives (new districts).
Alberta-Three Liberals; 2 Con-
servatiyes (new districts).
British Columbia-Two Conserva-
tives.
The latest figures indicate that Sir
Wilfrid Laurier will come back to
Ottawa with a majority in the House
of Commons Of about So. He had 65
in the recent House.

SEA ROSES.

Where the sea roses grow down to the sea,
And where the white ripples laugh up to
the roses;
Where the gorse and the heather are nod
ding together,
And the bud Of the pimpernel opens and
closes;
Where the curlew dips to the kiss of the
And the gray-green wings of the plover
By the dangerous motion and swaying of
ocean,
There 1 am dreaming Of her.
Sweet sea rose, you were always sweet,
Yellow of petal, and greenly glowing
In warm sea places mid soft embraces
And tender touch Of night winds blowing.
The first full ray of the moon on you
Falls in the quiet Of night begun;
And lovingly tender, in slanting splendor,
The first red shaft of the sun.
All, but now you are queen Of the flowers,
Queen of the queens of the summer
weather;
For here where the plover were wheeling
above her,
Here in your glory we met together.
Rose, you were happy, but happier far
|, as ] thrill'd with ecstasy,
When she pluck'd you stopping, her dark
eyes dropping
Pluck'd you, and gave you to me.

CONCERNING ACCURACY.
No Point in Which the Daily Newspa-
ner is More Unreliable.

No Point in Which the Daily Newspa-
per is More Unreliable.
If what person says is worth
quoting at all in a newspaper it
would seem as If absolute accuracy
were the prime requisite. There is,
however, no point in which the daily
newspapers are more unreliable than
in the matter that they place between
quotation marks as actually spoken
words. How much latitude may be,
and is, used is well illustrated by the
reports of a Brooklyn murder case on
Friday morning of last week. AL
though the accused prisoners words
were taken down verbatim by an Of
fetal stenographer, in five of the
morning papers there were four diff
ferent versions of what the man ac-
tually said. AS sample of the vari-
alton the following passage may be
taken: During this search for a
telephone I replaced the empty shell
in my revolver with loaded one. I
happened to have two extra shells in
my pocket. The exploded shell I
tossed into vacant lot" This is
stated to be the stenographer's report
in one paper and as a second paper
agrees exactly with it the words may
reasonably be assumed to be those
spoken by the prisoner. Yet one of
the most reliable of all journals says
he said this: Then l grabbed, my
coat and the gun and went out. Out
side I emptied the shell, throwing it
behind some bushes and put in a
new one. did not touch the body"
while another, of like reliability, II
went into two or three places looking
for telephone, as the regular police
box was out of order. In the rear
room of a saloon I stopped to clean
the pistol. had already thrown the
empty shell out of the pistol in the
park, just after leaving the shelter
house. used my handkerchief to
clean the barrel and the cylinder, and
then threw the handkerchief into the
sink" and a third, of the highest
reputation for accuracy: fI was
afraid of being accused of having
shot the girl, being all alone there
with her. 1t looked bad, and I de-
cided to keep still. At the station
house I went into bedroom and re-
loaded my revolver. threw the
empty shell over fence, and when
l reached home cleaned the gun with
handkerchief, which also threw
away" Obviously the prisoner did
not say four different things at once.
The question is, then, what did he
say? The evidence is in all in favor
of the two papers that agreed in
their quotations and the joke of it is
that these two sticklers for truth are
both yellow journals. Brooklyn Life.

greater development of power two of
the motors are coupled together upon

on both sides of the ship and connect

Burns His Own and His Sons Prop
erty, Then Kills Himself.

Oakland, Md. - A. F. George, of
Swanton, Garrett County, during fit
of temporary insanity set fire to his
own barn and house. Then he went
to the home of his son, saturated the
beds and other absorbent materials
with oil and set them on fire. Then.
taking his stand with revolver near
the fires, he prevented any one from
extinguishing them.
Mr.. George returned home, keep

sleigh as that shown in the accom-
panying illustration will appeal to
many. Runners are attached to the
front and rear wheels. An auxiliary
wheel which assists in propelling the
vehicle is placed in front of the rear
wheels. Wound around the latter

chain, the purpose of which is to grip
the icy surface of the road and force
the vehicle onward. Any auto can be
