cussed by Aaron J. Levy, majority leader
OF the Assembly. and Assemblyman Pat

The Governor was declared by the

rect Primary law OF 1911. but also Of the
instrument which he proposed To father.

objections were embodied m letter that

CALLS WILSON CHIEF LOBBYIST
Says soons Fear to Oppose Admins
tration And Vote Against Bill.

Washington, June 6-Senator Town

he believed the nearest approach of
undue influence was the influence ex-
erted by the president and by the use
and powers of the party secret eau
Gus.
Il am convinced" he said, that
some senators will vote in favor of
the tariff bill and against amendments
they believe in, because of the fear
of antagonizing what is known as the
power and influence of the admins
-ation."
Senator Townsend added he believ-
ed the lobby investigating committee
had not tried to find what influence
President Wilson had exerted on SEN
ators. The committee unanimously de-
cided "in view of the serious state
ment made touching the executive"
any senator who has heretofore tes.
titled could be recalled and asked as
to any influence President Wilson had

Cannon of Solid Rock.

When the island of Malta was under
the rule of the knights of st. John
they defended their Notifications with
cannon bored in the living rock. Each
one of these strange weapons con-
tained an entire barrel of powder, and
as it was not possible to vary the aim
of these cannon SO were made ready,
facing various directions from which
the enemy might approach,
When the fame of these arms Of de-
fense became known to the world the
idea was taken up Of transporting
rocks to submits to serve the same
purpose, but 1t was soon recognized to
be impracticable, and the cannon of
Malta, bored in solid rock, have
passed into history as the sole wea-
pons of the kind ever known.-Har-

THE LURE OF THE WEST
WESTERN CANADA ATTRACTING
THOUSANDS OF SETTLERS.

Writing on the Canadian West, an
eastern exchange truthfully says:
''The West still calls with impera
tive voice. To Pr te and mountain,
and for the PaC Coast, Ontario's
young men and v en- are attracted
by tens of thousands yearly. The
great migration has put an end to the
fear, freely expressed not many years
ago by those who knew the West from
the lakes to the farther coast of Van.
couver Island, that Canada would
some day break in two because Of the
predominance Of Continental European
and American settlers in the West"
This is true. While the immigra.
tion from the United States Is large,
running close to 10000 year, that of
the British Isles and Continental
Europe nearly twice that number, max.
ing total Of 100000 per year. there
is strong influx from Eastern Can
ada. It Is not only into the prairie
provinces that these people go, but
many Of them continue westward, the
glory OF British Columbia's great trees
and great mountains, the excellent
agricultural valleys, where can be
grown almost all kinds of agriculture
and where fruit has already achieved
prominence. Then the vast expanse
of the plains attract hundreds of thoS.
sands, who at once set to work to cul-
tivate their vast holdings. There is
still room and great opportunity in
the West. The work of mans hands,

breaking building rush, Is the small.
est part of the great panorama that
is spread before the eye on journey
through the country. Nature is still
supreme, and man is still the divine
pigmy audaciously seeking to impose
his will and stamp his mark upon an
unconquered half continent.
The feature that most commends
itself in Western development today
is the "home-making spirit" The
West will find happiness in planting
trees and making gardens and build
ing schools and colleges and universe
ties, and producing a home environ
ment so that there will be no disposi.
ton to regard the country as tenn
porary place Of abode in which every
one is trying to make his pile prepar.
atory to going back East or becoming
lotus-eater beside the Pacific.
The lure of the West is strong. 1t
will be still stronger when the crude
new towns and villages of the plains
are embowered in trees and vocal

Superstition and JurIes.

After having sat on many juries the
observant man is Of the opinion that
the whole human race Is still strong
ly tarred with the brush of supersti'
ton.
81 am confirmed in that belief by the
amount of damages invariably voted tc
plaintiffs whose injuries smack of su
perstitious origin" he said. IF loat
of bricks should fall from fifth story
window onto the head of man who
happened to be walking under ladder
he would get twice as much damages
as If the ladder were not there. The
element of bad luck that attaches to a
ladder would insensibly influence every
juror. and the sum awarded would re-
feet their prejudices and sympathies.
