You Must Get Your Tribune

The Tribune has inaugurated a system whereby it
intends to exert an effort to see that every subscriber
gets his paper and gets it as promptly as possible.
1t may take some time to work it out through the
whole system, but a start has been made.
The first place which this system is to be inaug:
urated is here in town, and every subscriber is re-
quested to bear in mind that if he fails to receive his
paper, all that is necessary to secure a copy is to
phone the Western Union Telegraph office, No. 20,
and a messenger will Immediately deliver a copy, to
take the place of the missing one. This will be done
free Of charge.
1t is hoped that the subscribers will appreciate
this effort on the part Of the management, with the
assurance that it will only be a pleasure to give the
service. The arrangement has been completed with
the Western Union company for the service, and The
Tribune bears the expense. Don't phone The Trib.
une, but register your kick with the Western Union
and the missing copy will be supplied.
Understand?

Probably the most cutting rebuke which has been
administered in some time to an official high IN
public life by a staid, dignifed and conservative mem

in the editorial columns of the New York Post, under
date Of September Is, classifying William Jennings

self the dignity of his position and the dignity OF
the American people as to appear in vaudeville. ~

These initials are undoubtedly those of Sir George
is famous in history as a great traveller and explorer
Of the Rocky mountains. The initials \ Cor j R are
probably those of his guide, James Roland.
The date carved on the tree comedies with that
OF the year in which Sir George, who was governor
of the Hudson Bay company, made his trip through
the mountains during his journey around the world,
which took him nineteen months and twenty.six days
to complete, then a remarkable record for quick trav-
cling, but now put in the shade by the record made
by John H. Mears, an American, who covered the
same ground in ~thirty-six days.
Brewster, who discovered the initials, has had the
portion of the tree containing the carving photo
graphed, and is sending copies to different museums
and historical societies in Canada and the United
States.
The life of the veteran king OF fur traders is one
of the most picturesque in North American history.
It Is the story of a man Of definite convictions, OF
%unremittent vigor, Of firm loyalty and, where 1t con-
cerned the government under him, stern justice. 1t
was chiefly in recognition Of these services that ne

leaving London, England, on March 4h of that year.
With canoe and pack horse he crossed the continent
took ship from Fort Vancouver for Siberia and reach
ed London on his return journey in exactly nineteen
months and twenty.six days from the time of his
starting. In 1S49 Sir George retired from the active
government of the company. He died in 1861, at MS
headquarters at Lachine, near Montreal.

critics ought to know more about the facts before
finding fault. II was not true that the Mexican ana
Japanese crises were so grave as %rightfnlly to de.

the usual answer of the Roosevelt type of politician

attacked me are all Of the Tory stripe. Such attacks
are to be expected. In the Tory newspapers the
facts are distorted, and are twisted to suit the writ.

mean loss of position.
Now, with Mr.. Bryans indignation at deliberate

respectfully submit that nothing constituencies yellow
