tional passages from the Book OF
Truth" featured today's session OF the
trial of Evelyn Arthur See, charged
with contributing TO the juvenile de-
linquency OF Mildred Bridges, high

Stephen Bridges for seeking to take
Mildred away from the temple. Calling
Bridges by name, See wrote:
He Is all the world signs for. The
man who threatens Absolute Life OF
neglects to give financial support tc
was TO his credit Ia now dishonored
Being a man OF loose tongue, he thinks
to foil God His utterings shall come
to naught All that Is dear to him be
longs to Absolute Life. All those who
are dear to him have gone to Absolute
Life. He has gone into orphanags
and become an orphan. He who raise,
his hand against Absolute Life shall
perish. All power shall be taken out
OF him so he can no longer stand In
the way. He who shall stretch his
arm across the pathway shall have 1t
stricken. He shall die Of disgrace He
shall have no Jurisdiction over his
daughter. She shall tower above him. :
The reading Of the passage created

regarded as distinct blow TO defense.

WESTERN CANADA rs STRONG
FOR RECIPROCITY WITH U. s
Farmers Of Saskatchewan and Mani
toba Tell Conservative Leader
They Want Pact Ratified.

WINNIPEG. Man, June 26.-R L.
Borden, leader OF the conservative
party in Canada, with his lieGtenants,
is In southern Alberta this week to
continue q campaign against reci-
procity with the United States. In
Manitoba and Saskatchewan he found
the farmers mostly favorable to rati-
cation Of the agreement.
His first speaking place in Alberta
was Macleod, where he received a
memorial from the United Farmers
of Alberta, representing the feeling
OF 46 branches. They desired the OBJ
struction to the pact on the part Of
Borden's supporters In the Canadian
parliament TO cease. They Desired
reciprocity as a step toward free
trade In agricultural implements and
machinery with the United States.
Similar memorials were presented by
farmers In other regions. visited by
Mr.. Borden.
Mr.. Borden, however, replied to all
these memorials. The sober second
thought OF Canada, he said, had dis
approved of the reciprocity pact
There were people In Nova Scotia,
and he believed elsewhere, who
would cut OF their hands rather than
vote for the pact. Reciprocity. he as
serted, would reintroduce In Canada
the products Of the American trusts.
Mr.. Tate, the member OF parlia-
ment, told Mr.. Borden that, although
eastern people might not agree with
their views, yet. people Of Saskatche-
wan and Alberta as a whole were In
favor Of reciprocity with the United
States. That was shown by the fact
that Saskatchewan and Alberta legis-
latures, assemblies and board Of trade,
were unanimous in their approval Of
the proposed reciprocity agreement.
At Weyburn, Sask., one speaker for
the farmers, whose opinion was cheer
ed, said, The farmers are prepared
to take the west out OF the confeder-
alton OF provinces, II reciprocity Is
denied US"
Borden has retired his lieutenant,
J Hon. j.. G. Bergeron. who at Moose
jaw used the illustration OF Samson
and Delilah In connection with
President Taft and Mr.. Fielding dur
ing the course Of his argument.
