Canada Panic Stricken.

Things seem to have turned to the
worst in the Canadian Northwest and
many families who sold their hold
ings in the states and located in the
northern country have done so to
their sorrow. Conditions in a fin
ancial way are more stringent than
they ever, were in states during the
period of sour most serious panics.
Hundreds': of men are walking the
streets of Edmonton, Calgary and
Moose JAY and other boom Canadian
cities looking for work which can
not be foand. The Canadian bubble
seems to fhave burst and no relief
is in sight. The Canadian banks
backed blythe Bank of England, have
received Instructions to loan no more
money. A farmer may have valuable
holding but cannot borrow a dollar
on them. Many people who bought
property in Canadian cities at fabu-
lous prices are now holding the bag.
Money wa p plentiful as long as pro-
perty changed hands often and at a
profit, but an end was bound to
come to the fictitious values. Those
who bought property on the payment
plan have their money tied up, pay
ments are: coming due and not a dol
lar can be; borrowed on the property.
Serious losses will result.-Under-
wood Journal.

Daniel quoted in his sermon.
Ny statement in regard 10 religious
liberty was that the celebrated act
Of liberation was passed in 1919 by
the General Assembly in the Province
OF MARYLAND. a majority OF whom were
Catholics. and the act was passed with
out a dissenting voice. the act being
drafted by Cccilus Calvert, a Catholic.
and as the historian Bancroft who
was Il New England Protestant clergy
man, says. IL being the first in Tho
annals OF mankind to make religious
freedom the basis OF tho state"
Whether Calvert had dollar marks
In his eyes or not doesn't change The
fact OF the question at issue.
And regarding civil liberty, stated
that tho greatest bulwark OF civil
liberty is the famous Magma Charta.

ish. but also OF American cons,itu-
tional freedom. Among other blessings
contained in this Instrument. IL cs-
tablishcs trial by jury and the right

The problem contains conditions
