Hitchcock's Activity.

/, 1t is hardly to be supposed that
Postmaster General Hitchcock
would have taken the vigorous
action that he has in the prosecu-
ton of dealers in alleged bogus or
worthless stocks without the ex-
pert advice of the Attorney Gem
erals department, therefore it is
equally presumabIe that he is pro-
ceeding we'll within the limit of
constitutional law and his own au-
thority.
Despite those reasonable as
sumptions, however, there is
something decidedly paternalistic
or sguardianistic" in his radical
action. 1t is the most pronounced
development of the bureaucratic
form Of government that has yet
manifested itself, even in the
postal departments department.
of decided bureaucratic tendency.
The s'fraud order" of varied,
not to say vicarious, fame, is ad-
mittedly less powerful in its ap-
plication and effect than his latest
method Of dealing with persons
who invoke the displeasure or
violate the rules and regulations
self-made-of the postal depart
ment. And yet the fraud order"
has proven to be the most power
full instrument ever placed in an
officials hands. It was and is be-
yond the power OF courts to review
and the courts are the bulwarks
Of our republican Liberty. What,
then, must be the extent Of this
new instrument Of effectiveness
discovered by the Postmaster
General?
There is no disputing or dis
guising the fact that the gullible
or innocent man or woman of
money should be protected from
swindlers Of whatsoever kind.

Mr.. HiIburn.

Ed. Register-In looking over the
w. G. T. U. colu mn in the REGIS
TER I see mention of the "White
Slave Traffic" and the "Florence
Crittenden Homes" 1 am remind
ed of the story of a girl who ap-
piled to one of these homes for
fallen women, and was told that as
she was not a fallen woman she
did not come within the scale of
this work, and was, therefore, de-
MED admission, but, later, she
again applied and told the matron,
Hyou can take, me in now" These
rescue homes are noble work
and their founder has immortalized
his name. But what of the old
proverb? can ounce of preven-
ton is worth a pound of cure"
Chas. N. Crittenden was a great
and good man but the least worker
for Socialism is greater than he
from the fact that "an ounce of
prevention is worth pound Of
cure"
The Socialist is laboring to save
untarnished the flowers of purity
and modesty that bloom and shed
their perfume in the maiden's
breast to shield her modest form
from the coils of the "slimy SER
pent of most loathsome lust"
After years of study of the tenn
perance question in all of it's faces
and it's relation to all human.ills
and evils Frances E. Willard said,
"Oh, that ! were young again and
it would have my life--it is Gods
way out of the wilderness" What
was she speaking Of? Temper
ance? No! Socialism. And soft
is, because it seeks to prevent the
evils that arise rom poverty and
want caused mainly by the profit
system. Kill the profit in the sa-
loon business, make it possible
for every able-bodied man and
woman to receive employment at
renumerative wages and all kinds
Of business that panders to the
evil desires of man willfall to the
ground.
You ask, elbow Socialism will
do all this?v I can not tell you
here in one short article, but IL
you really desire the welfare Of
the human race I beg Of you
study the claims Of Socialism.

Pronunciation Of nIulx.

The Spenserian pronunciation OF
the word July Is not by any means
dead yet. In English country dis.
tricts the accent Is still commonly
put on the first syllable, while in
Scotland that pronunciatio:. is the
general one. But the word does not
then rhyme with duly" for the sec.
ond syllable is as clearly pronounced
as If 1t were accented. Indeed. "July"
might almost be included in the small
list of English spondees, which .s
generally held to consist solely of
Amen" and "Goodby." "Goodby" has
always seemed to the writer a very
doubtful specimen, for 1t is seldom
that one hears its two syllables equal.
ly accented Another unrecognized
spondee IS, II one accepts the rural
pronunciation, the name Of the month
April. Millions OF Englishmen bro.
nounce It slowly and deliberately
"Ay-pril."

the crimes committed to poverty
and neglect of children in early
childhood. And what is more, the
Governor proved his claim by
prison statistics.
Socialism will provide work for
all who want it and, therefore,
homes for the homeless and cloth
ing for the naked. How will it do
it? Put all the mines and mills to
work and keep them running un-
til all human needs are supplied.

WESTEN CANADIANS
A GRAIN PRODUCER
NEVER SAW SUCH FINE WHEAT
ANYWHERE.

Gust Anderson OF Maidstone. sask,
was formerly OF Minnesota and has
been in Central Canada three years.
On January l6 1910, he writes.
Arriving fifteen miles from Maid
stone, bought couple OF steers from
rancher. as my capital was not
large, and with the two oxen brought
with me. broke 25 acres which put
In crop in 1908 and had to clear some
brush. earned $500 by breaking
fifteen acres for neighbor and dur
ing the summer | put up hay and
hauled timber and put up houses for
other settlers. Notwithstanding a
heavy frost on August 18th, l had 22ik
bushels of wheat per acre and 60
bushels Of oats. OF SO acres OF wheat
in 1909, got q bushels OF wheat
per acre and / 300 bushels Of oats of
20 acres. / never saw such fine wheat
anywhere. We have plenty of rain
between May and August and after
August seldom any but dry warm
days Water can be had at from 20
TO 40 feet and plenty OF grass for cat
tie"
The evidence OF Mr.. Anderson is
given because IL is encouraging TO the
man OF small means who is DESTROYS
OF lettering his condition. IL shows
what can be done. and there is really
but small limit TO the man with push
and energy to become wealthy on
Canadian lands. And the grain that
he raises is good. A press dispatch
says:
The quality of the wheat continues
TO be the feature Of the deliveries. In
the total of 1878 cars in the February
inspections there were 2,s47 Of high
grade stuff. a percentage of s4.2s. For
January the percentage was 1921, and
for the six months il was sS.6. This
is an unusually high average, and it
demonstrates beyond the shadow OF a
doubt that the farmers In this part
OF the Dominion still know how 10
grow first-class wheat. The crop OF
1908 was considered good enough. and
it's average of contract wheat was
only 20 per cent. Good weather
throughout the season was an impor-
tant factor, OF course. in insuring the
high quality Of the grain, and II is not
likely that atmospheric influences OF
so favorable a character will be en-
countered for a long time TO come
The best that can be expected is that
a fair average for term of years
will be maintained.
