a New Kind 81 ..Undesirable.''


The applicant too good for the job a
Just as much q misfit as the one too
poor for the job. Getting the city un-
employed back to the land led to Z
revelation Of changes in farm life the
last few years. With the young men
away in the shops, at school and In
clerkships the fields had to be titled,
and the farmer took in whatever he
could persuade or bride to all the gap.
The effect is described by a city man
who took the advice Of the social
economist when the city didn't want
him and struck out for a farm, the life
in which he was first trained.
There was nothing to suggest the lat
ter day farm hand looking for work In
the tidy dress and white skin Of the
tramp" and when not treated like a
thief at the farmhouse doors he was
plainly told that he would never do.
Finally his story impressed a candid
la who wanted help just then at
milking, shingling the barn and hoeing
corn. He worked all day with his am
ployer, gave satisfaction and vas
treated as he had been among home
folks before he abandoned the land"
But the farmer paid him off at the
end of the day because he had no place
for him to sleep except in the garnet
with ''the rest of the help" and the
family wouldn't tolerate a hired man
at the regular table. The "rest of the
help" had meals in the kitchen, but
the farmer couldn't bear to see his.
working companion taking up, with
that crowd, or something to that effect.
Frankly the farmer confessed that
times have changed because employ.
ers have been forced to take in "un-
d%esirables" from the tramp or immi-
grant class and the line has been
sharply drawn between "help' and
"our kind Of folks" The city man
was of the right sort as to essentials,
but was impossible nevertheless. Here
seems to be an economic problem for
agricultural associations to wrcstle
with.

Escape on a Technically.

Parties convicted. of violating the law
sometimes escape paying the penalty
because of technicalities which have
no bearing upon the moral issue in
volved. Chagrin over the collapse of
the famous rebate case against the
Standard Oil corporation is natural,
but the effect Of the conviction and lay
ing Of the fine should not be lost be-
cause the judgment was reversed. The
presiding Judge in the trial court de-
clared that the law had been deliber-
ately violated, a view which most
men probably believe to be sound. He
regretted that the law did not permit
him to place a severer penalty upon.
the transgressors. The reviewing court
held that the deliberate violation of
the law had not been clearly proved
and that the cash penalty exacted was
unjust.
The first court branded with an In
delible mark the practice which has
destroyed wholesome competition and
laid unfair burdens upon the people.
The effect Of that conviction upon the
public mind can no more be removed
than that in the case Of an embezzler
or a murderer whose wrongdoing is
clearly established, but who may escape
through some technicality. Personal
disgrace and dishonor remain for the
lwrongdoer, and the close call serves
as a warning for others who might
imagine immunity an easy thing. It
has often been pointed out that the
act under which the Standard Oil re-
bate suit was brought is inadequate
to give the public justice. But the
Judgment Of the public cannot be re-
versed. Guilty is its verdict. Under
the circumstances the plain and sim
pie course is the right one-to accept
the law as authoritatively laid down
by both courts and proceed to a new
trial Of the case in strict accordance
with the law.

SEA OF FIRE STILL RAGING
Mountain Sides for Miles a Tornado
of Flames.

VI . IN
Ternie, B. c., Aug. 5.-No person
who has not seen a imagine the
awful devastation which in the short
space Of two hours transformed what
was a busy center of industry into a
desolate waste and left 5000 people
homeless. The scene during the prog
.ress of the fire Is described as ap-
fpalling, men, and children
fleeing for their lives, leaving every
thing they possessed to the mercy of
the flames. Around Michel where the
dire eel begins on the east, and for
many miles west is yet a sea of fire,
with miles and miles of blazing noun
tain sides.
Michel is yet safe, but the whole
valley of the river is on fire and ii
the wind starts up the town is
doomed. All the women and children
have been sent to Blairmore, Frank
and Coleman for safety. All mines
ara shut down and the men are fight
ing the fires in relays, blowing, back
firing, clearing underbrush or soak
ing the roofs of houses with water, of
which, fortunately, there is a good
supply.
Only about a dozen houses have
been burned in Hosmer so far, but the
fire is all around 1t.
Many from Fernie have taken ref
uge in the coke ven being built by
the Canadian Pacific, where they are
safe even il the town does burn. They
are being cared for and fed as we'll
as conditions permit. At Fernie, how
over, the greatest scene Of desolation
exists. BY actual count only twenty
i've houses are left standing. Not a
business house remains except the
Western Canada company's wholesale
warehouse and the office of the Crows
Nest Pass Coal company, which stood
in the center Of a square and in which
a number of people took refuge from
the death that ragged around them.
The whole city Of Fernie, West Fer
ME, the Annex, the old French town
and all the lumber mills in and
around Fernie are wiped out with the
exception OF the buildings named.

MANY SQUEEDUNKS
ARE BEING tanned.
Emil Sanderson Gets Busy With UnruIy
Monstrosities.

SqueedunlIs SGueaied in all their
squally soualor at the Pavilion skating
rink last night. "A mass meeting of
this band of wild and untamable spe-
cies was held and much progress was
made in tanning them by General
Badly Sauers, who aside from his ami
NAL training life is known as Emil
Sanderson. democratic, candidate for
chief of police.
"Ginral Badly" has secured apr-o-
pirate dress for 100 of his tribe. In
his presence these strange animals,
half beast. half human, are peculiarly
tractable and seem gentle enough to
feed from his hand. But to anyone
else they are a fierce and utterly un-
tamable set. More uniforms have been
ordered and as the Squeedunks are
captured and tanned they will be rig
ged out in All kinds Of finery by Cen
eral SahArs. While no one has yet
| seen his pets, it is understood that
! the race is mixture of all kinds or
animals, whose only tie of union is
! that they are Of about the Same degree
Of intelligence. General Sauers has
mastered their language. which TO the
outsider is but a conglomeration of un-
ineligible mutterings, and has made
wonderful progress in tanning them.
| To General Sauers these Quee- peo-
pie have revealed the hiding place of
| their Queen Lii. down among the jack
rabbits on BlalockS island. Lii has
been captured and captivated until
she is gentle and tame as kitten and
! there is talk of browning her as god
dess of liberty in the parade.
All kinds of mOnstrOsiIies and queer
Ibeings have been captured by the fear
less fancier of crazy critters. He has
an assortment in his menagerie that
surpasses anything ever gathered To-
gather in the world since Noah had
! his ark loaded to full capacity.
He will not permit anyone to see
| the collection as the animals are wild
and might break away. They will be
herded through the streets on July A.
! however. and after that the general
does not care.
