When the army engineers went to Panama to

OFFICIAL INVITATION

OF AMERICANS TO WEST.
ERN CANADA.

During the course OF reply to an
ers, the newly appointed Minister Of
tho Interior Of Canada at a banquet
given at Winnipeg in his honor that
gentleman spoke on immigration. Tho
tone of his remarks was that he intend
ed to pursue an aggressive and for.
ward policy in the matter Of immigra.
tion. In part, he said:
"The most important branch per.
haps Of that department (Interior) is
that Of immigration.
IF there Is anything more than an.
other we want here 1t Is a greater pop.
ulation, and II shall be my duty to pre-
sent to the people in all parts Of the
world where desirable emigrants are
to be found the advantages and the
great possibilities Of this country. We
have received in the past reasonably
large immigration from south Of the
international boundary. and in this
connection let mo say Just word for
our American cousins who have found
happy homes amongst us, and those
whom we hope to welcome in greater
numbers In the years to come. There
are hundreds OF thousands Of them in
our prairie provinces, happy In the en-
joyment Of a freedom as great as they
ever knew, and all contributing In q
material way towards the development
OF Canada. We are not blind to their
value as settlers. They come better

the wealthlest class of emigrants any
new country has ever known. Az

will be my privilege to offer them q
welcome hearty and sincere, and to
so contribute to their welfare that un.

Of liberty and happiness as under the
Stars and Stripes. The Borden gov.
ernment cherishes nothing but the
kindliest feelings for the people OF the
great republic to the south, and will
do all In its power to increase, the
bonds Of kinship and neighborly good
feeling that has SO long existed.
(Hear, hear.)

also adopt the same vigorous policy In
other parts of the world. We will 60

the plotters off the track for sometime. Fl
nally, when about reaching place of safety,
the men had fallen upon them and, Selling
the supposed baby, had stabbed it several
times and thrown it into the bushes, making
off Just as the gate to the house, where they
had hoped to find refuge, had been opened.
The woman had bad wound in the neck;
but the boy escaped injury. After recover
ing the doll from the bushes, he had thrust
it after the woman through the gate. The
men had all escaped in the Christmas
crowd.
FOR sometime L sat silent, going over the
whole adventure.
"The gentleman rose from his desk and
came over to where | was sitting and, hand
ing me another package, said, l am further
more ordered to give this into your hands.
Let me congratulate you on your nerve and
action. But for you, the child would with
out doubt have suffered; for the men had
arranged in case of miscarriage of this plot,
that another attempt was to be made on the
childs life within twenty-four hours. The
men, seeing the child stabbed and thrown
into the bushes, had hurried off, and also the
man chosen to finish the deed in case of &C

believed.

SUNDAY MAGAZINE FOR JULY Is. 1911
THE PICTURE POSTCARD
Continued from page s

and pass almost unnoticed in a third. But
the combined activity, keen or Indifferent,
of all the censors ConslgnS every year to the
dead pouch thousands upon thousands of
picture postcards which, if the dealers had
cared as much for their customers rights as
for their own petty gains, would not have
been offered for sale at all.
A year or two ago some genius evolved the
idea of protecting the delicate ornamental
ton of holiday cards by inclosing them in
envclops of transparent paper, and thou
sands of these are thrown out for one cause
or another. Perhaps the customer puts the
stamp and address on his card and the card
into its envelop; then, of course, the post
master, though he can see the stamp, cannot
cancel it or attach his postmark. Another
purchaser, guarding against this mistake,
falls into one that is quite as bad by putting
both stamp and address on the outside Of
the envelop, but writing message on the
card, thus changing the character of the
whole SO that it becomes for administration
purposes letter, and is thrown out because
it requires two-cent stamp. And so on,
through a catalogue of variegated blunders
calculated to shake ones faith in the human
reasoning faculty.
A favorite slip made by persons not so IL
literate as to excuse it is the assumption that
because picture card is called post
card it needs no separate postage; the little
square printed in the right hand upper cor
ner of the face of the card to show where the
stamp should be placed, is taken by them
to be itself a form of stamp. A large number
of patrons of the postcard also misread or
fail to comprehend the printed instructions
as to where to write the address and where
to write the communication, and reverse
these inscriptions.
Somebody reaps the profit of everybodys
mistakes, and no check is given thereby to
the expansion of the postcard industry,
which has grown and grown till it now al
most threatens to swamp the mails. No SIM
liar fad has ever laid so powerful an obsession
upon the mass of the public; and none of any
sort, unless it be the fad for trying to patent
eccentric inventions, has brought so rela-
lively large, so nearly gratuitous, so con-
slant, and so persistently increasing rev.
enue into Uncle Sans strongbox.

send messages on cards; for second, the
postal regulations affecting letters are few
and elementary, while those governing cards,
and specially private or picture postcards,
cover details of which nine-tenths of the
scndcrs never heard; and, finally, there is
surprising lack of knowledge, or of con-
science, or of both, among certain class OF
dealers in picture postcards, resulting IN
their exposing for sale to the un1ntormed
public multitude of cards that the
first postmaster is bound to throw out at
sight.
For example, one of the regulations that
too often was ignored at the outset had to
do with the size of the cards; but the manu-
facturers corrected this after they discovered
by bitter experience that the Postoffice De-
partment meant just what it said.
The chief difficulties spring now from the
matter that is put on the cards, either at the
factory or by the senders' hands. "Trick"
cards, of several thicknesses, with some me-
chanical device between the front and back
which raises the weight above the maxi
mum allowed, are still occasionally offered
for sale in the shops. More familiar vari-
cites include cards with artificial flowers of
colored felt attached; cards with little
wooden houses and trees, or brass battle
ships, built out in relief; cards decorated
with tinsel, mica, glass, sand, or metallic
dust which is likely to rub off in their rapid
handling by the postal clerks and be drawn
into the lungs and cards with indicate or
evenly grossly indecent pictures, or legends
of like character.
In this last domain it is worth noting that
a broad individual discretion is vested in
every postmaster to judge what cards trans
gress the line separating mere vulgarity
from positive obscenity. The postmaster
who is in doubt on this question in any case
is supposed to submit it to the assistant
Attorney General for an opinion; but as
matter of fact that is rarely done, for nearly
every postmaster is prepared to assert that
he knows immortality when he sees it, and
stands in no need of advice from headquar-
tiers.
1t will readily be understood that this re-
suits in pretty wide disparity of standards.
What is condemned as bad in one town may
in another be winked at as rather crude fun,
