is undoubtedly due to the improved
methods of sanitation
Attendants i'm leper hospitals who
have attended these patients for years
have not contracted the disease.
THE fact that the state makes no
provision for the care of lepers shows
that the disease is not so much to be
feared after all; such being the case
there is no reason why any civilized
community should take up the ancient
cry OF "unclean" and isolate a family
Sc afflicted. on the contrary they
should receive the sympathy and help
of all, and in every possible way.
"There is absolutely no danger of the
children of leper carrying the disease
and transmitting it to others by con-
tact.
Tuberculosis is more to be feared
In a community than leprosy"

ARMED VESSELS ON LAKES.
Canadian Government Scored for Al.
lowing v. S. So Much Advantage.

Montreal, Dec. tx. s. Hemming
scores the government for allowing
Americans to have armed vessels on
the Great lakes. He says:
"The United States government
contends that the seven warships they
have gradually accumulated on the
lakes are old and that they are to
be used as training ships.
These arguments. however. avail
but little. for old vessels are as
good as new ones when they have
no vessel opposing them. Do you ever
try your hand at International arith-
metic? Let me give you a sum i'm
simple addition and see what your
answer will be.
Here are the figures:
81. American railroads running
through Canada in all directions
"2. An invasion without arms OF
our northwest by hundreds of thou
sands of American settlers.
"3. Seven armed fighting ships on
the great lakes.
80. Our nickel, our natural gas
and our electric fluid being taken
across the line without even a by your
leave
"6-Our raw materials being taken
from our industries such as lumber.
pulpwood. cream, etc. with several
others in sight in the near future.

whole country subject to American
domination. including the ruination OF
our British Columbia salmon spawning
grounds

PRINCE ALBERT ATTRACTING
ATTENTION OF THE WORLD
Generally Believed the Next King
of the Belgiums Will Rule
Wisely
LEOPOLD IS BETTER TODAY

Brussels, Dec. 16.-Of all the roya
personages of Europe. there is non,
that commands just at present such g
widespread interest as Prince Albert
OF Flanders. The critical illness of his
uncle, King Leopold H., broken by age
and worry, has had the effect of TO-
cussing public attention upon his sue
cessor, Prince Albert. who is the son
OF King Leopold's brother, the late
Philippe. Count of Flanders.
Universal opinion inclines to the
belief that Prince Albert will make a
far better king than King Leopold
since, i'm the first place, he is devoid
Of his uncle's craze for speculation and
foolhardy adventures, such as the di-
sastrous Congo enterprise. while, on
the other hand, he has as yet shown
no trace of having inherited any Of
those moral shortcomings which have
cast so heavy shadow upon the
reigns OF his uncle and of his grand
father.
Prince Albert has long since out
grown his delicacy of health which at
the time of the tragic and mysterious
death of his elder brother, Prince
Baldwin. some years ago, gave rise TO
universal fears that he would not live
to grow up 10 manhood. He is now a
tall soldierly looking man of thirty
five. fond of outdoor sports, though at
the same time of a very studious tenn
perament. He is an extensive traveller.
and has visited not only every court
In Europe. but most of the great CEN
ters of industry throughout the world.
The marriage of Prince Albert to the
Duchess Elizabeth in Bavaria in oc-
tober. 1900, caused great rejoicing and
enthusiasm i'm Belgium. When a son
and heir presumptive to the throne was
born in 1901 the manifestations of
pleasure in Brussels showed that the
royal couple possess a strong hold on
the affections OF the Belgians.
The future queen possesses an en-
gaging disposition. She is a great
sportswoman, an excellent rider. good
,yclist and automobilist. No dynastic
reasons entered into the marriage. as
the ducal branch CO the Bavarian
royal line to which Princess Elizabeth
belongs is of no particular eminence.
Her father was the Duke Carl Theo-
lore. the famous oculist, who died only
l few weeks ago.
King Leopold Much Better.
Brussels, Dec. 16.--It was announced
his morning that King Leopold's con-
iition is so good that the fears enter
aimed yesterday have been nearly dis

Clark for President.
Highway Engineer.

Hon. Bent Murdoch in his paper
published at Eldorado, Kansas, ex-
presses his admiration for the
Democratic Candidate for Speak
er against Cannon:
Champ Clark, of Pike county,
Missouri, member of the house of
representatives at Washington, is
the biggest, squarest and most
able Democrat in public life To-
day; and should the Democrat
National convention nominate
him for President in 1912. he
would make it mighty hot for bis
opponent. Congressman Clark is II
statesman as we'll as patriot.
and in his efforts to beat Cannon
ism in the house of representa-
tives, he causes millions of people
TO fall in love with him. He il a
bully old boy who stands for
honesty, decency and the square
deal, not only in public but in
private life; and people every
where are commenting him for
his splendid manhood. May the
Lord be with Champ Clark, Ed.
Madison, Victor Murdoch and all
the others who are trying to put
the control Of this government
back into the hands of the people.
