Liberal Victory
United the Party.

far as a national policy was concerned,
but it did result in the consolidation OF
the various democratic factions into the
now dominant liberal party. and, even
more important. il established universal
manhood suffrage and deprived the con-
servatives of the advantage they had by
reason of the property qualification.
Mackenzie fell in 1878, and Sir John
Macdonald was returned to power The
liberals remained in opposition for four
teen years. During that time Wifrid
Laurier. a French Canadian of Quebec,
who had first entered politics in 1857 as
an opponent of federation. had risen to
be the leader Of the opposition.
I.aurier brought to the liberal organ
ization not only his own statecraft and
political sagacty. but also the almost
unanimous support of lis French speaf:-
ing fellow -countrymen. The liberal PARTY
under his leadcr,hi continued to profess
democratic doctrine and continued to ad-
yotate freer trade relations. The liberals
also took broad view of questions aris-
ING from religious and language prob-
Icms. and in this way kept the support of
the bulk of the French-speak king people
Under the Laurier regime Canada has
doubled in population has multiplied its
wealth tenfold and has advanced to a po-
sition of such pre-eminent prosperity that
Canadians like to say. 'sThe twentieth
century is Canada's." I.rder these favor

which has been put to the test of four
general elections.
The present election was preeipitnted
because the prime minister and his party
in parliament carried out the traditional
liberal policy of free trade relations this

question of supreme interest To the brac-
teal politician In Canada Is not so much
whether the people are for or against
reciprocity as IL IN whether or not Que

Laurence Richie His Enemy.

1t developed that the man who has di-
rected this inquiry is Laurence Richie. a
former operator in the government secret
service. He has done little else for two
years. He or his agents during that
period have logged Judge Grosscup's
every step.
So persistent was the pursuit that when
the judge went abroad year ago last
spring he was not allowed to go alone
A shadow is said to have followed him
all the way to Europe and back. The
agency that directed Riches movements
could not be learned.
DO you know whom Richie had been
working for" the judge was asked.
Il heard at one time that he was work
ngn for the government replied the
jurist. That I believe is untrue. / also
heard that he was working for q maya
zine That report also believe is untrue.
There is nothing either in my private or
personal life that l am afraid Of having

Informed by His Friends.
How did you hear of Riches work?'
Several Of my close friends came to
me and told me that Richie was threat
ening to write me up. I was told a long
time ago that an eastern magazine was
ready to begin a series Of stories about
me a year ago. These threats were never
any stronger than that, and were also
brought to me by my friends to whom
Richie had talked. l wouldn't know

MOTIVE NOT DISCLOSED
Jurist Declares. However. He Was
Not Influenced to Resign by
Unfriendly Agency.

CHICAGO, September 20.--Following
the formal announcement yesterday by
United States Circuit Judge Peter S.
Grosscup that he would resign from the
federal bench he confirmed last night a
report that he had been under surveil-
lance for two years by some unfrieHdly
agency whose motives he could not
give. He said he had nothing to con-
ceal from the public and that the shad-
owing did not cause him to resign. His
motive was more personal and political
freedom he said.

BAHA|ST PROPHET ON
HIS WAY TO ENGLAND
Movements of Mysterious Per-
sian Are Being Yelled
in Secrecy.
oreisn Correspondence of The star.


LONDON, September .. 1911.
Abdul Eaha Abbas, the mysterious
Persian prophet of the Babai religion
which has. At moderate estimate, three
million followers is now travelling
through Europe his way to London.
where he will make a short stay and
meet his English adherents. The exact
day of his arrival in this country is I'M
certain. but in all likelihood lit will be
the coming week.
His movements are kept secret. Even
those few people in London who knew
him personally cannot name the date of
his coming. He is travelling now with a
suite of Persian secretaries and inter-
preters and one body servant, and dur
ing the stay in London will live, in east
ern style. in fiat. A week or SO is
also to be spent in Paris.
This present journey is the first Abdul
Raha has yentured among western peo-
ple. He is third prophet of the Bahais.
The first was Mira Ali Mohammed,
known as the Bah. born in 1sf9.' in
Shiraz, a city Of Persia, who founded the
great Banai religious movement, and
was shot at Tabriz six years after he
declared his mission.
Prophet Born in Prison.
The mantle of the Bah descended upon
a Persian nobleman, the second prophet,
who became known as BAHIA Uah, the
Glory of God He spent most of his years
in Punishment from Persia and in prison.
Abdul BAHIA is the son OF BAHIA uah
Born in prison at Acre. he assumed the
leadership of the religious body on the
death of his father in 1892. So rapidly
has the religion gained strength that now
a third of the Persian people are con-
yerts to the Bahai faith, and there are
many believers in Egypt, India. the
United States. France and England. In
the early days of the teaching its fol-
lowers met with much violent persecution
AT the hands of their fellow Persian coun-
trymen and there are records showing
that 1000 were massacred at different
periods
The Bahai faith has been likened to a
spiritual Esperanto. 1t is world move
ment'' said the editor of the Christian
commonwealth Tine characteristic of
Rahaism is that it seeks to demonstrates
the fundamental unity Of all religious,
and 10 trace them all to one single divine
source They seek to unite all faiths
and religions as one.
