to make in the laws. For instance.
how can every man be taught trade
while the law restricts the number OF
apprentices in every trade? And
what is the use of talking about equal
opportunities and a fair wage while
the law prohibits many men from
working at all for their bread and
butter unless they can get permit
from the secretary of a labor union
and this permission, we know. has of
ten been Withheld, thus bringing men
TO the verge of starvation, and fore
Ing them TO leave the place. Is this
equal opportunities for ALP" And is
1t right that any man should be in
vested with such power?
Then again, the unionists are given
the first right to employment. Is this
equal opportunities for all? Many
men, and those of the best class, have
a great objection to unions, but they
have been, and still are being forced
into them. And that is what socialism
| really means, coercion and the re-
striction OF personal liberty: and that
! is the road we are travelling on; and
although the premier's attitude to-
wards socialism was very satisfactory
| as declaration-stiil he ought TO
recognize that it is impossible 10 con
tinue travelling along a road leading
to a goal without ultimately arriving
| at the goal.
Looking, too, at the arbitration court
| perambuIating the country, making
| criminals of all sorts of innocent PEG
| pie who have really committed no Of
fence at all, and fining them heavily
| for some trifling or absurd breach Of
! the labor laws. Under these laws il
is made a crime to use a paint brush
unless hne oaS served his time to the
| trade, or is a member of a painters
| union. This is no eXaggeration. q
| case was reported recently when a
| man was fined 6 and his employer n
lesser sum for doing bit of painting!
! These things may be eXtolled as lib
eral, but they constitute very real
| tyranny, and they cannot be justified
under any name whatever, Liberal or
| otherwise. To call such 2 @tate Of
things by what was once Il hOnored
name of liberal, is a mere travesty OF
the word. Where does the liberality
or liberty come in? / wish to be just,
and so must acknowledge that the
minister for labor made an honest eff
for last session to remedy some of the
evils | have mentioned; but he was
unable to do it. And it remains now
! for the premier, in order to make
| good his words, and to realize his be
lief, to render every assistance in his
power next session to have the laws
amended. If only for consistency's
sake, liberal government should be
heartily ashamed of them, for they are
disgrace to the country.-William

puts them in communication with land
development companies. The re-
suits of the new work are already be-
ing shown and Wisconsin is getting
a goodly share Of the settler class
Commissioner Campbell says there is
large opportunity for more work and
he is developing and enlarging the de-
partment as fast as the legislation
will allow. The correspondence OF
the department is already large and
each mail brings requests for de-
tailed information as to the oppor-
tunities offered by Wisconsin TO
those who desire to secure land and
make prosperous farm homes.
An unusual letter came yesterday
from j. j. Marley, president of the

Lilies as Trimming.

A toque Of plated teulle is trimmed
with large pond lilies, which twine
around the brim, the stems entwined
in graceful lines and the leaves half
hidden in folds of tulle. 1t is a grace
full and original idea, but as the lilies
must, of necessity, be white, the hat
itself must be of some color that is
not too great a contrast in color.
This last, by the way, is a rather i'm
portant matter and one that needs
consideration. Red, for instance, does
not harmonic in any way with white,
but used with ecru or natural straw
it is good. Then, in using pond lilies,
the green of the leaves must not be-
ignored, and it must not be placed
against a shade that is too strong or
too weak.
