the rumor spread that the pool was

soon rise from its waters to redeem
the world.
The pool became q place of pilgrim

Canada at the
Land Show
WILL MAKE A MAGNIFICENT EX'
HlBIT OF GRAINS AND
GRASSES, VEGETABLES
AND FRUIT.

A carload Of grain in straw, grasses
and other Of the products Of Western
Canada arrived at Chicago the other
day, and is now installed in the
Coliseum, where the United States
land and irrigation exposition Is under
way. Those who are interested In
the Back to the land movement" will
find in the Canadian exhibit one Of
the best displays of the agricultural
products Of Western Canada that has
ever been made. There are repre-
sentative men there, who will be
pleased to give the fullest information
regarding the country.
The exhibit shows what can be
done on the free grant lands Of that
country and most Of the grain was
produced on the farms Of former resi-
dents of the United States who have
taken advantage of the homestead
lands Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta.
The vegetable exhibit will attract
O great deal Of attention, and some
marvellous potatoes, carrots, turnips,
cabbage and caulihower are shown.
It is true that the homestead area
is being rapidly taken up and the
bulk Of that now to be had lies north
OF the Saskatchewan river in q por-
ton Of the country known as the park
country. Here there Is q large guam
tity Of open prairie interpreted by
beautiful groves Of poplar and willow.
Water is in abundance, hay Is plenti-
full and consequently fodder for ami
mails is right at hand. Those who
have taken advantage Of farming in
these districts and watched the efforts
of those in the prairie proper feel
that they have the advantage Of their
brother, who Is not able to secure fuel
and the other conveniences Of the
park district on his own farm.
The crop conditions throughout
Western Canada the past year have
been generally good. and some won
derful crop yields Of wheat, oats and
barley are recorded. The Canadian
Government, under whose auspices
the exhibit spoken Of is being made,
is preparing reports on crops in the
different Western Canada districts,
and while these viii not be ready for
distribution at the land show COM
mencing on the 18th Of November
and closing on Dec. 9th, application
made to the Canadian Government
agent nearest you will bring them to

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTlCURA REMEDIES

-Four years ago I had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells, and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began, my wrist and shin itched like
poison. l would scratch those places
until they would bleed before ! could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over, and the flesh I'M
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes It would begin to itch until
It would waken me from my sleep,
and would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced It dry
eczema" ! used IA ointment which
the doctor gave me, but 4 did no good.
Then he advised me to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. As this trouble has
been in our family for years, and is
considered hereditary, felt anxious
to try to head 1t of. / got the Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be just what ! needed.
THE disease was making great
Roadway on my system until ] got
the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin Of the great pest.
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago, until now, have never felt
any of its pest, and l am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. l always use the
Cuticura Soap for toilet, and / hope
other sufferers from skin diseases will
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment"

How Times Do Change.

DR.. Wilson's attitude with respect
to the recall Of the judiciary does not
in the least surprise us; in fact, the
surprise lies the other way abopt-in
the extent to which he, man OF
scholastic temperament, with conserv-
alive surroundings and in the difficult
position of prospective candidate Tor
president, has been willing to go on
the road toward absolute democracy.
Many stout hearts that pass through
direct nominations and direct election
of senators without culver hesitate
at the referendum. Others go on until
they come to the initiative, at which
they balk. When we get to the recall,
there Is panic all along the line, and
il is only the seasoned veterans or
the reckless young enthusiasts that
walk up without finching. Yet these
three principles are the very essence
Of real democracy. Without them
there can be no rule of the people.
How rapidly we move in these days!
Only three years ago when Mr.. Bryan
got back from Europe, in the speeches
preliminary to the campaign he MADE
for the democratic nomination he
played up the initiative and referen

AN UP.To-DATE GRAND JURY
REPORT.

Lovers of justice, of peace and of
good order under just laws righteous
ly administered, will hail with Joy the
new departure taken by the grand jury
in the criminal court of Dallas county.
This report was handed in last Sat
urday and has already attracted wide
spread attention, because it contains
caustic criticisms of the criminal
code, of the criminal court of appeals
and of the supreme court.
The criminal procedure is branded
as relic of barbarism, if not of pre-
historic times. The report declares
that there are many lawyers practic-
ing at the bar who are guilty of all the
crimes in the calendar, and more;
that the court of criminal appeals
does not seek to see whether con-
victed man has had fair and impair
tial trial, but whether it can not dis
cover some technical error.
In reference to this, the report says:
I'm his exposure of the follies OF
knight errantry, Cervantes never had
a more inviting theme for crusade
against system long out OF vogue
than the injustice practiced upon the
people by its higher courts, were 1t
not that its effects are becoming so
serious to society and the taxpaying
interests of the country"
The report refers to the many homi.
cides in Dallas and declares that Eng
land has three homicides to 100000,
Chicago the same, while Dallas had As
to the 100000 people. Seventy per
cent of the crime, it is said in the re-
port, is the direct result of the sale
of liquor. "The social club is the legal

lied blind tiger" is one sentence of
the report A plea is made for an adj
ditional criminal court for Dallas
county.
1t is high time the grand juries were
calling the attention not only of the
courts but of the public to condition
that is deplorable. A reform of the
criminal code and of both the criminal
and the civil procedure is badly need
ed. AS it is, the courts are largely
the protectors of criminals and the in
struments of injustice.
