thing of the same spirit which led the pioneers westward and ever farther westward in their search for virgin domain. Within the borders of the United States there are practically no virgin prairies remaining, and the loose system of farming that has prevailed has already worn out temporarily at least-much of the land. In Canada there is developing one of the great agricultural empires of the earth. In the north western provinces there are millions of acres fthe most fertile wheat land in the world, and homes, homes that have developed and will de- velop fortunes, are waiting sturdy men and women to take them up. N
 The great movement of immigrants from America to Canada is, therefore, perfectly natural and easily to be understood movement. A writer in the Century estimates that i'll the last six years nearly 100000 farmers have left their homes in the United States to take up free homestead land in Canada, and surely move ment that is so depicting our population of some of its best and hardest citizens is move ment to be reckoned with and, if possible, checked
 How this movement to the lands of our north ern competitor is to be stopped is for the ex- perts in immigration to discover, but it is time that this vast drain on our resources, so sig nificant in what it means for the future of the west, should be studied and some remedy de- -vised.

THICK -AND-THIN PARTY MEN

Political leaders, they who take deep inter- est in political action, will of course, recognize that there has been a great change in respect to the attitude of people toward their respective parties They are not voting for their party, right or wrong, as they used to- but will no doubt maintain their devotion to it when it is right.
 And the fact of being right in policy is not so important as being right in character. Both parties are all split up on policies, and it would not do to depend upon party fealty on account of platforms, for neither party is exhibiting any special devotion to it's own It IS the char acter of the party, as illustrated in its person nel, that is to be the winning card of the future. A party whose main interest is in plunder or the spells of office is not going to be able to hide behind glittering generalities of political duty.
 Of course, our political leaders see this, and those who see it first, of whatever party, and put it into party action, will have the better chance of winning public sentiment to their side.

THE USE OF TOBACCO

An esteemed contemporary is not quite sure that the Presbyterian church was right in seek ing to prohibit the use of tobacco by either min isters or laymen because the habit IS a personal one with which the church has no right to inter fere.
 This is not good logic. The church certainly has a right to ''interfere' with any practices of it's ministers and laymen which are deemed reprehensible, even though not positively wicked or immoral, if the "personal habit" be such as to warrant censure and to reflect upon the discipline of the church.
 Those who use the weed say 1t is tonic, stimuant, or sedative; that it's application to the palate and sensory organs of the mouth calms nervous excitablity, relievse hunger, pain constraint, and ennui in remarkable manner The smoker is supposed not only to find solace and comfort in his pipe or cigar, but an aid to reflection that stimulates his bran, while soothing his nerves. In hls solitary moments one who is accustomed to smoking finds his pipe good company. There IS solace and comfort in contemplating the curling smoke while communing with ones thoughts and such composure of mind as banish care, anxiety, and worry. All of this may be lllusory of course but it is a pleasant illusion
 But dscardng the metaphorical theory that a supposed pleasure based only on a sentiment is really no pleasure at all, and considering the harmfuness as well as the satisfaction derived from tobacco, it may be said that most of It's use is but habit, possibly foolish, unneces- sary and more or less expensive habit. At least it may appear so to the non-users of tobacco The real pleasure of being free from habit that has never been acquired is hardly conceiva- ble. Still, one who has been addicted to habit that is admittedly bad the effects of which he knows to be harmful; may feel far greater pleasure and satisfaction fro ma knowledge that he has freed himself from the habit than the pleasure of its indulgence could ever afford
 In the conscious pride of sufficient will power to overcome any fixed habit and to rise superior to any weakness that is the result of infirm pur- pose. one must feel himself elevated in his own estimation because of the victory achieved, and probably there is no other pleasufs comparable to that which one feels in knowing that he IS master of himself All of which, however proves nothing for or against the use of tobac- co by those who find pleasure, either real or imaginary, therein

OUR NORTHERN COMPETITOR

It is really remarkable development in the movement of population that is taking place in the migration of Americans to Canada One is accustomed to the spectacle of peoples moving from lands where they are oppressed or tax ridden toward countries of greater freedom and large opportunity but never before in the history of the world has there been witnessed a migration of so large proportions of men and women of wealth, intelligence, and energy, as is now taking place from the United States to Canada.
 This migratory movement is reaching such proportions, indeed that in view of the fact that on our northern border we are losing many desirable citizens, while thronging our eastern ports come hosts of undesirables to tax our en- ergies in the task of converting them into de- sirable citizens it might we'll invite the atten- tion of our government.
 The Canadian superintendent of immigration declared before parliament at Ottawa the other day that in 1908, l4G90S people immigrated into Canada and he estimated that the figures would increase to 100000 during the present year. He predicted that of this years arrivals no less than 10000 would come from the United States, and he pointed out that at the present time American immigrants are pouring into Winnipeg at the rate of POO day
 Undoubtedly the spirit behind this vast movement of Americans to Canada is some

They know what is good business, and they will not consent to slaughter their constituents for the sake of devotion to theory, or platform plank, or submit to the demand of partisan like Mir. Bryan, who calls on statesmen of his party to look at the Denver doctrine and stick to that regardless of consequence.

WAGE EARNING AND WIVES

This is the season when college professors, those who treat of social topics Tn particular, deliver to the great world outside the campus more or less of the words they address directly to those who have sat in their lecture rooms Much of these essays of parting advice contains seeds of wisdom that will grow and wise coun- sel that will benefit those youthful disciples who heed. It would, indeed, be a serious reflection upon the spirit and conduct of higher education if such were not the case. But here and there occurs an exception that fails to be discourag ing only because 1t is unusual.
 Here comes, for example, the profound pro- nouncement fro m ascolar in the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania that every wife should be wage-earner. He holds that the wife as well as the husband should contribute to the income of the domestic treasury, and con cludes that the accepted practice of household economics is radically wrong.
 This is one of the professors who needs to come out of the closet and look about i'll the everyday world that he aspres to instruct. He will quickly'le learn by observation that the high est and most perfect domesticity is not pro noted as a general rule, when both husband and wife go forth to field or factory, to shop or office, for daily work, locking the door of the home behind them. He will find, furthermore, that the wife who, fguratively speaking, makes the bread in the kitchen does almost if not quite so much to pay for the flour, the rent, the light, and the heat as does the husband who appears i to be the real wage-earner. Herein the modern economist may take leaAet out of the maxims of that American philosopher of common sense, Benjamin Franklin, to wit: "A penny saved is a penny earned"
 Sadly true, indeed, it is that a wasteful wife l is burden, not helpmeet, to her husband. But conversely the wife who understands the wise economies of the household contributes simultaneously to its health, happiness, and prosperity. She is partner even more efficient than if she shared in the toll of the bench or the counter or the desk. She is fit and worthy also to administer the finances of such a menage. Wise as well as blessed is the hus- band who can intrust to such comrade the full | fruits of his toll, well knowing that due DOT ton thereof will be thriftily garnered for the savings bank so that there shall be no rainy days without financial umbrella. If all the graduates of colleges, of either sex, were as well grounded in the arts of domesticlty as m beles-lettres, they would become more efficient contributors to national as well as individual welfare, and there would be no occasions in forums high or humble for the denunciation of race suicide.

WHAT IS A DEMOCRATS

The democrat who stands by the acton of the party convention and bows to the will of the majority, even though the majority has run counter to his own views, Is the answer to the uuestion, "What is democrat9" Unless dem ocrats learn, as the republicans have learned, to stand by the action of majority of the par ty, they cannot hope to be successful. They must learn the lesson of subscribing to the con clusions of the majority before they can teach methods of party victory.
