Americanizing Canada.

More than half of the 5000 immi-
grants who entered Canada in Decem-

the year 1908 nearly 10000 came
in, and $1,000 of them were from
''the States" as our neighbors over
the border put it. This sort of thing

too, are much in evidence. American
money is one of the greatest sources
of prosperity. American enterprise
is leading the most active and grow
ing section of the Dominion along the
road to very American wealth and
industrial power
Old-fashioned Canadians, intensely
loyal to their own country and to
Great Britain, do not like this Amer
icanizing of the Dominion's wide ex-
panse of wheat lands in the North
west, but they are unable to stem the
tide. II Canada Is inviting enough
to enterprising men and important
enough as a place for their work and
their investments, the Americanizing
will go on. And what Canadian

Murder Theory.


Pcttsville.-The body of the late
Mrs. Esther Brandt, who was found
dead in a pool of blood at her lonely
home at Llewel!yn, December II,
and buried after the Coroner's jury
had found a verdict of suicide, is to
be eXhumed at the demand OF the
woman's relatives, who claim to have
evidence of murder. An autopsy will
be held at Minersvi'le.
officers and neighbors are now con-
vinced that the aged woman did not
commit suicide. The more the mat
ter was looked into the stronger be-
came the murder theory. and 1t is
expected that following the autopsy
two suspects will be placed under
arrest, and compelled to explain GER
tain suspicious circumstances in con-
nection with their whereabouts on
the night of the crime and some OF
their actions since.
The two knife wounds from which
the woman died were of a character
such as would have been almost i'm
possible to inflict, even by a strong
man, upon himself. Mrs. Brandt was
elderly and almost an invalid. The
weapon with which the cutting was
done was a dull carving knife, and
there were two distinctive wounds,
either of which would have been
fatal. and neither one of which 1t is
thought could have been self-lnficteo

SCHOOLS MAY BE AN ISSUE.
If Code Is Not Passed Now Question
VIII Enter Politics.

Speaker Cox said that should the
legislature fail to pass the State
school code bill, it would become a
political issue in the next two years.
Continuing, the Speaker said:
Rather than see the school code
bill fail in this legislature, / hope it
will be adopted without a single
change. In my judgment, If the bill
is not passed now. it will result in
injecting the schools into politics and
the issue will become a political one
in the election of the next legislature.
II will become an issue just as Is To-
cal option. The legislature should
pass the bill as 1t Is rather than risk
its defeat as the result of amend
ments."

will be held on February 23.
