CANADIAN SENTIMENT DIVIDED

No matter what political construc-
tion is placed upon the passage OF
the Canadian reciprocity pact--and
there appears to be a sufficient var
iety Of constructions to suit every
body-here In the United States the
consideration Of a like measure BY
the Canadian commons takes on mot
90 much Significance - tariff
measure az 1t does one having about
1t the quality Of an entering wedge
looking to the dissolution OF Can
ada's ties with the mother country.
AS a result Of this sentiment In the
house Of commons at Ottawa o dead
lock Is on, and 1t 10 not ct all I'M
likely that the only way out OF the
tie-up will be determined to be the
dissolution OF parliament and an APP
peal to the country in general cleo
ton with reciprocity as the issue. To
this end, an ottawa dispatch says,
Premier Laurier is now seeking an
opportunity to prorogue parliament.
However, as It requires thirty days
to get the election machinery in or
der voting cannot take place until
October. 1t is pointed out that even
with an approval Of the pact at a
general election the required routine
of procedure would push off the real
enactment Of the agreement until
aftel the first of the year.

The Amish Church has tabooed
the motor car and two members of
the church at Haven have been ex-
PEELED because they insisted on riding
in their little buzz cart rather than
obey the dictates Of the elders. There
are q large number Of Amish and
Mennonites living in Kansas The
two churches are quite similar In
most of their beliefs, but the Amish
are more strict about worldly mat
tiers. The Amish people do not APP
prove OF the motor car and many
other things and the two Amishmen
who determined to ride in the cars
were declared out of the church
without further ado. The Amish
people do not build churches
but hold their services in the homes
Of their members, taking turn about
in holding religious services.

While DR.. Crumbine Is regulating
health why does lhe not go after the
chautauqua salute? Drinking from
a common drinking cup or using a
roller towel can scarcely be worse
than shaking several hundred used
handkerchiefs in an audience where
the people must breath the thus pol
luted air. Besides being unsanitary
the action Is silly.

A PARABLE.

She was a woman, worn and tired
whom the world condemned for q
single sin. They cast her out OF the
Kings highway, and passed her by
as they went to pray. He was a man
and more to blame, but the world
spared him a breath of shame. Be-
meath his feet he saw her lie, but he
raised his head and passed her by.
They were the people who went to
pray, at the temple Of God ON the
holy day. They scorned the woman
forgave the man.; twas ever thus
since the world began.
Time passed on and the woman
died; on a cross of Shame she was
crucified. The world was stern and
would not yield and they buried he'
in a potter's field. The man died too
and they buried him in a casket OF
cloth with silver brim. And as they
turned from the grave away, satd:

]. e. House shows much indigna-
ton at Dawson's statement that he
does not know what beer is. In his
latest open letter he asks why the
enforcement of the prohibitory law
is always accompanied by shrieks
while other laws are enforced In q
businesslIke way. Maybe If there
were fat fees for enforcing other
laws there would be shrieks there
too. As a matter of fact the pro-
,hibItory law is enforced as we'll as
any other law but there is too much
grandstand playing by officers and
too much fee-taking in the enforce
ment Of 1t.

No wonder New England thinks
Kansas is crazy when a paper like
the Boston Transcript prints this:
"In some districts in eastern Kansas
and western Missouri, before the
rain, farmers were cutting boughs
from trees to feed the leaves to live
stock. Ordinarily cattle and horses
will not eat leaves, but after long
period on dry food they ate them
with avidity."
