for it is almost impossible to keep cool.

you put on lot of fiannels. wooden
sweaters and such things, and bring
the temperature of your body up to or
above the prevailing temperature of the
atmosphere, you won't feel the heat.
But why not try and laugh little
bit more. This was some advice which
was given in a sermon preached re-

the Rev. Mr.. Locke. It's mighty fine
advice, too, and a more general preach

ER0A OTHER PENS
STRONG COMMERCIAL TIES.

Labor troubles upon the Grand
Trunk bring to attention the close
commercial relations which exist be-
tween this country and our neighbors
on the north. The Grand Trunk over
which the Dominion government ex-
tends parental care, controls through
ownership nearly 1000 miles of rail-
road in the United States, its lines ex-
tending to Portland. Maine; New Lon
don, Conn; Buffalo, Detroit, Toledo
and Chicago. The system also has
close traffic relations with the Della
ware & Hudson, the Lehigh Valley and
the Wabash among other American
roads. Thus it occurs that q strike on
the Canadian railroad AFFECTS many
cities in this country, ties up traffic on
many miles of road in the United
States and throws hundreds of men
out of employment on this side of the
international boundary line.
President Taft fully comprehended
the interdependence of the two coun-
tries when in his speech in Eastport,
Maine, this week, he expressed the
hope that closer commercial relations
with Canada may be established with

States has been invested across the

THE FRENCH sUFFRAGIsTs.
Scores of eminent Frenchmen,
members Of the academy and the in
stitute, scientists, authors, play
wrights, professors, statesn1en-the
men who make public opinion in
France-fave given to Nine Schmahl,
the suffragist leader, their views on
the wisdom of votes for women, which
she publishes in La Revue. There Is
naturally great diversity OF opinion,
but in the main very decided sym
pathy for the movement is expressed.
some of It possibly prompted by the
characteristic French gallantry.
Many of the writer's are unqualified
advocates of woman sufrage-in
theory. Some favor giving votes to
women in municipal and cantonal but
not in national elections. Others fear
that If women voted they would be
moved unduly by religious influences
and by regard for tradition. Others
insist that the majority of French
women don't want the ballot.
Perhaps the strongest argument
against woman suffrage adduced by
any of the writers is this one con-
corning the consequences: Capacity,
not sex. should give the right to vote,
and many women deserve place in
politics, while many men do not. But
this would mean the abolition of uni
versal suffrage-which mo one can
abolish. On the other hand, would
you want the mass of ignorant, I'M
gressive women to vote? OF course
not. Then political inequality would
still exist between men and women.

UP TO VOTER.

There is lots of talk these days
among the opponents of the primary
system, that the system is failure;
that now when the people have the
loudly demanded opportunity they are
laying down, just from want of inter-
est, and that the scheming politician
will as effectively get in his work as he
did under the old system.
1t is up to the people to prove the
merits of the primary system. The
way to do it is to- turn out on election
day and vote and see to it that the
voters do turn out and that the re-
suits of the primary indicate the
choice of the people. This Is the only
way to prove that the primary system
is a success.-Great Bend News.
