# Canada Had Been Coded to Us.
 But for the wisdom of George Wash ington and Benjamin Franklin Eng land would have ceded Canada to us at the close of the Revolutionary war. Washington and Franklin knew that if Canada had been ceded to the colo nies France. from which Canada had been wrested some twenty years ear- Her, would have demanded that coun- try as indemnity for the expense she was put to In the war for our inde- pendence. With the French flag re- stored in Canada 1t would have been a matter of very short time when we would have been at war with France. and to save us from defeat there is nothing more certain than that we would have appealed to England. The aid would have come, and come swift and irresistible, and the chances are we would have returned to our ale glance to the crown of England, for it was years between the treaty of peace and the formation of the Union, plenty of time to get into a quarrel with France over some dispute as to bound ary or fishing.-W Washington Post.

Why Gold Is a Precious Metal.


 Pure or fine gold will stand any test it may be put to in comparison with other metals. It can be rolled CT ham, mered, extending it in any direction, until it becomes transparent. It can also be drawn into a thread as fine as human hair. It melts at about 2,Oo0 degrees F., and,. though it may be kept in a molten state for an indefinite time, it loses none of its weight, even should the heat be increased. The col or is unaffected by air, water or heat and will stand any test of oxidation. No simple acid will dissolve or attack pure gold In conjunction with silver gold is the first metal with which man became acquainted and is the most valuable by reason of the vast number of uses to which it is put. It is found in almost every country in a metallic state and nearly always in crystals. The old Egyptian symbol for gold sig nified divinity and perfection. The chemical term used today is aurum.- New York Press.

Woman Suffrage.

Woman suffrage, question before
the civilized world, at the present time,
is attracting opinions and views, from
many different sources The writer
wishes to publicly express some of his
own personal, individual opinions.
He believes in woman suffrage to a
modified extent, as follows:-
Allow women to vote after becoming
of age, if she marries, surrender her
the right, If she become a widow, re-
store the right, if she become divorced,
Still deny her the right, as she is still
married according to The Divine Law,
and may have tendency to break up
the divorce curse. Prohibit all per-
sons, male and female, from voting
who cannot read and write, habitual
drnnkards and prostitutes.
Married woman should confine their
interests and abilities to the govern
ment of the home. 1t is true, the ma
jority of them have no home to govern,
but, that is not the fault of the hus
band; it is the fault of the system of
the country's government.
Whenever slavery is abolished, as
many of you think has been, in 1868,
but, was not, or never has been, then
the wife will have home to govern,
her husband will be her diplomat, her
protector, her representative to a
broader field of human government.
She will be The Divine Governor of
the family and the representative of
natural government ard all that is
pure and holy.
1t is true, women are placed in the
very jaws of death, in order to continue
and increase the human race, and suf-
fer great hardship in the performance
of this duty, but, they must also con-
slider it is the workings of God and ma
ture, and if a women die of childbirth,
her soul flies to the arms of her Saviour
as pure as the new drifting snow, for
she died martyr to His cause.
Many women places their lives in a
more perilous position by trying to
shrink from that duty and the results
are by more fatal, III death, shattered
health, weak in body and mind, and
their soul placed before Gods mercy,
from what is commonly known as,
RACE SUICIDE.
Your grandmothers, knew not of
such practices, and they did not want
to vote, but, had all they could attend
to with the duties OF the home. 1t is
the childless, or the one, or two child
rem in the family woman, who wants
to vote, for scandal being scarce, wish
something new with which to occupy
their minds and back fence gossip.
With apologies to the good, true and
sincere childless woman.
Quo VADIs.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent. |

WASHINGTON, March 20, 1911.
1t is said that the United States i'm
ported more than forty millions of dol
lars worth of diamonds last year. This
country, as might be expected, is the
greatest diamond market in the world.
1t also furnishes the greatest harvest in
world for diamond thieves. 1t is said
that most ladies of the "four hundred"
wear paste diamonds in order to avoid
the exposure of their real gems to the
cupidity of the light fingered experts.
Good scheme, but why pay for the real
if the spurious will do as well?
1t appears that the distinguished
military experts of France and Ger
many are strenuously at work to show
that the United States and Japan must
fight. The argument Of the German
expert is that the control of the Pacific
is essential to the commercial existence
of Japan, and that in order to main
tain the supremacy Japan must have
the control of Guam and Hawaii as
coaling stations and bases of supply.
But can Japan control the Pacific2
Will not England, Germany, France
Russia and other great European
powers have something to say with
reference to the control of the Pacific?
Great Britain is easily five times as
powerful on the sea as Japan, and yet
she does not pretend to control the
Atlantic or even Mediterrean, of
which she holds be the gates, Suez
and Gibraltar. The Mediterranean is
an opean sea. Japan cannot control
the Pacific. 1t is doubtful if she could
control the inland sea of Japan, to say
nothing of the Yellow Sea, the sea of
China and other contiguous waters.
The Pacific is by odds the biggest of
oceans, and no nation or nations can
control it. The same writer argues
that the United States has only twenty
three warships in the Pacific, while
Japan has 125. He is mistaken. Japan
has 125 thousand, but they are mostly
san pand, kind Of fishing boat carry
ing two or tnree persons with tail
oar. The japanese will have much to
do with the navigation of the Pacific
for they are unexcelled as sailors and
can conduct a carrying trade at less
than half the cost Of and American or
European country; but the talk of any
nation controlling the Pacific is as ex-
trayagant az it would be TO talk ofcon-
trolling the other.
The first step of the extra session of
Congress will be to pass the Canada
reciprocity bill, and the second step
will be, it is said, to materially reduce
the tariff on wool and woollen goods.
If this can be accomplished, the west
ern Senator who has been called the
greatest shepherd since Abraham will
will lose a million or two dollars but
ninety millions of Americans will wear
more elegant and more comfortable at
tire. Nit!
