A NEW TOWN
EVERY WEEK
AND A NEW SCHOOL EVERY
SCHOOL DAY.

The above caption about represents
the growth of Central Canada. The
statement was made not long since by
railroad man who claimed to have
made the remarkable discovery that
such was the case. There is not a
district of a fair amount of settle.
ment in any of the three Provinces Of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
but has its school, and the railways
have stations every seven or eight
miles apart, around which group the
towns, some large and some small,
but each important to its own district.
Schools are largely maintained by pub
lie funds and the expense Of tuition is
but nominal sum.
The final returns Of the grain pro-
duction for Central Canada for 1909 is
now in, and the figures show that the
value of the crops to the farmers of
that country is about 1876 million dol
lars, as compared with 100 million last
year. American farmers or those who
have gone from the United States, will
participate largely in these splendid
returns, and these comprise those who
have gone from nearly every State in
the Union.
One Of the many proofs that might
be put forward showing the immense
wealth that comes to the farmers of
Central Canada is seen in the sum
that has been spent during the past
two or three months by the farmers
who have for the time being ceased
worrying over the reaper and the
thresher, and are taking to enjoying
themselves for two or three months.
1t is said that fifty thousand people of
these Western Provinces spent the
holiday season visiting their old
homes. Most of these passengers paid
forty and some forty.five dollars for
the round trip. Some went to Great
Britain, some to the Continent, others
to their old homes in Eastern Canada,
and many thousands went to visit
their friends in the States. The amount
paid alone in transportation would be
| upward of two million dollars. Some
make the trip every years. It need
not be asked, Can they afford it?"
With crops yielding them a profit of
$50 to $25 per acre, and some having
as much as twelve hundred or more
acres, the question is answered. The
Canadian Government Agents at diff
ferent points in the States report that
they have interviewed a great many
of those who are now visiting friends
in the different states, and they all ex-
press themselves as well satisfied,
and promise to take some of their
friends back with them. There is still
a lot Of free homestead land in splen-
did districts, and other lands can be
purchased at a reasonable price from
railway and land companies.

SPEAKING before the Harvard Law School

represents to give him good, hard spanking
Without intending to tell the truth about
the United States Supreme Court and the

whenever said Trusts were caught in the grip
of the Sherman antitrust law, Wickersham
did that very thing In explaining that the

According to Wickersham (and this mouth
piece of the Sugar Trust and the Taft admin
1straton ought to know the Supreme Court
has rejected such literal Interpretation Of the
Sherman law that makes it too severe. and
has construed it in reasonable" way.
In other words, the Supreme Court has de-
cided that the Sherman law is too severe on
the Trusts, therefore, the Court makes the
law less severe and gives the Trusts chance
to do as they please
Instead of enforcing the literal text of the
Sherman law, the Supreme Court re-writes

The point [ make is this: His announce
ment as candidate shows that he believes in
the principles of 1906, and is ready to make
another fight for them. Vhu NOT act those
reforms qc5taout fight? WIZ not PASS those
measures at the present session? Pass the
bills qoh5ch the Legislature of 1906 refused
TO enact! Do, YOURSELVES, what uou
tyr1ched McLemdOn for not doing! Put those
measures up to Governor Brown; if he vetoes
them, pledge you my word Of honor to help
yom hammer the political life out Of him!
Let me refresh your memory on the politi-
cal history of this State: Do you recall the
fact that in 1905 there was Joe Terrell
Legislature in session at the time Holze Smith
was announcing that he meant to make the
race against Clark Howell on the disfran-
chisement issue? DO you remember my sug-
costing to Clark Howell through John Sib-
ley, how he could take the wind out of Hoke's
sails by hav5ng the Joe Terrell Legislature
disfranchise the negroes? Don't you recog-
nize rooa0 the political sagacity of the sugges-
ton which Clark Howell rejected DO you
fail to see that the same golden opportunity
IS n0ao presented to H0ke Smith? If you and
he would 60 forward right now and complete
the unfinished work which the Macon plat
form outlined, Little Joe would be a goner,
whether he signed the bills, or interposed his
veto. What this country demands and is will
ing to reward, is the man who not only cham
pions princip Piles and reforms, but GETS
THEM ON THE STATUTE BOOK.
Gentlemen, read this second time; think
it out; there is more in it than at first glance
you might suppose.
