sorry military service is employed, and
that there is restraint as 10 the move
ment of those not Canadians, the ne
cessity is felt of giving as much pub
licity as possible to a denial of these

In direct REPUTATION of this, we beg
to quote from a recent editorial in the
Rochester, N. Y, Herald:
There is no legal process by which
Great Britain can command a single
Canadian soldier to enter the field in
her aid or even in her most needful
defense. Great Britain cannot legally
take a dollar of Canada's money for
this or any other war without Can
ada's consent. All must be given vol
UNFAIRLY, if it be given at all. Yet
men and dollars are given to the limit
of Canada's power to give, just as if
Great Britain had both physical and
legal power to exact them. Indeed.
it is possible hat they are given
more freely in this way, for what a
man gives because he wants to give
is likely to be greater than what he
gives under force.
"All in all it is a noble picture of
devotion to her motherland which
Canada offers to the gaze of her ad.
miring and unenvious neighbours"

As the Judge Of one Of our western
courts was leaving the bench, after
making a decision in a case, the losing
attorney remarked with some heat that
he was hopeless of getting a Square

judge do-reconvene the court and
mulct the attorney in a heavy fine Cor
the fragrant contempt? He did not.
He came back at the attorney in good,
strong Anglo-Saxon and prepared to
thrash him if the insult was repeated.

THE wheat LANDS OF
WESTERN CANADA
AN ATTRACTION

CEPTiONALLY REMU-
NERATIvE.

One result of the European War has
been to reduce the volume of bust
ness done by many of the manufac-
turing institutions of the United
States, commercial enterprises have
been affected, business of many kinds
nave been hampered, and a financial
stringency has been forced on almost
every community. 1t is not only be-
cause 1t has brought these things
about, and created a lot of hardship,
but there is the outstanding fact of
the terrible loss of life, the great de-
struction of property, and the disrup-
ton of everything nea and dear to
o whose countries are involved in
the war that makes the whole affair
highly regrettable. The heart of the
entire world goes on in sympathy to
those within the area of the trouble.
Arrangements have been made to re-
lieve the distress by money and other
But there is one great thing

countries will need. The wheat-pro.
duclng countries are no longer pro-

o to fear that they will not be for
some years. In this case, it would be
fully as beneficial and charitable to
make provision to meet the loss of
Europe's grain crop by encouraging a
greatly increased growth on this con
tinent.
The wheat-growing sections of the
United States have about reached
their limit of production, and this
source cannot be depended upon to
meet a great deal of the demand that
there will be for some years. The
only country that is in a position to
meet it is - Canada that portion
known as Western Canada. Here
there r millions of acres of land,
capable of producing from 20 to 40
bushels per acre. All this land is ex
cellent for wheat, and very much is
still in the hands of the Dominion
Government, and 100 acres of it can
be had by the payment of a ten dollar
entry fee.
Another vast area is that held by
railway and reliable land companies
held at from $40 to $25 per acre. I'm.
proved farms are slightly higher in
price. Information regarding these
lands may be had of any Canadian
Government Agent.
The fact that Canada offers such 9
splendid opportunity should be &C
copied with a widespread apprecia,
ton, and not met with attempts on
the part of some to spread misleading
statements. The Dominion Govern.
ment has not taken steps to deny
many of the false statements circu.

interested in injurfng Canada than
benefiting those who would be bene

Suggest Wireless for Farmers.

Wireless for farmers in the outly-
ing districts is the latest idea in Aus
tralia. 1t is suggested that the farm.
ers in the various localities should or.
ganize themselves into a cooperative
body, subscribing to a fund that would
provide a wireless station for each
member, and a central station at the
nearest town, where an operator would
be on duty. For the sum of $500 each
a body of ten subscribers could pur-
chase instruments, including a trans
mitter with a range of ten miles.
The cost of the erection of the mast
aerial and the assembling of the in.
struments would depend upon the abil-
ity of the erector.

THE HOME SOCIETY.

An orphans home and an ''orph-
ans home society" are two very
different institutions. The former is
a place where children who are be-
reft OF parents or friends to care for
them, are raised and educated. The
latter is an organization which pre-
tends TO find homes for such children
and to furnish jobs for people, at
high salaries, who cannot do any
thing else and who use the States
money with which to lobby through
increased appropriations. The editor
al this paper began warning our peo-
pie against the Kentucky Orphans
Home Society three years ago. A
representative came TO Hartford for
years and secured from fifty to one
abundred dollars from the Fiscal
Court. He would beg and secure
GIT from every Sunday school in
to~n, besides hundreds Of dollars
3nom individuals. All of this time
they Were receiving from the
State enough aid TO find two homes
for every child they placed. While
the superintendent was being paid
o salary OF $1,000 per year. More
than twice as much as We pay to the
superintendents of our asylums. A
few days ago when Mr.. Bingham.
who has some connection with this
institution. was before a legislative
probe committee. at Frankfort. he
was asked IL he didn't think this
salary out of proportion to that paid
other persons holding similar po-
sitions in the pay of the State. He
replied that this salary was not paid
out OF State funds but from CON
tS,bu&ed funds. In other words IL is
paAl out OF the money begged from
poor Sunday schools all over Ken
lucky. What shame!
There are other serious objections J

But Free-Trade Has Cut Profits Of
Americans and Added to Prof
its Of Foreigners.
lower cost of living heb?

Lower cost of living heh?
Wasn't Tariff reduction to lower
the cost of living?
Beef meat has gone up to16 per
cent, yet they don't pay as much as
before for steers.
September 20, 1912, top-notch
cattle brought in Chicago $40 to
$11.OO pc hundred pounds
In September, 1913, they brought
$40 to $3.50 per hundred.
This means that the beef merchant
bought of the beef raiser a 1,400-
pound steer for $3.50 less than one
year ago. Yet consumers are charg-
ed more for their beefsteak than in
1912.
The Tariff has been reduced from
10 cents per bushel on oats to cts.
per bushel.
And when Canada takes off the
duty on oats which II imports
oats will come in here free.
Five hundred thousand bushels Of
Canadian oats have already appear
ed in Chicago, having paid the 6
cents duty.
The American farmer must there
fore expect q less price for oats very
soon.
Already wheat has gone down in
price. All other grains will fall in
price.
Meanwhile the consumer pays as
much as ever for flour.
Butter and cheese producers are
brought into competition with the
Canadian producer, but without ma
terial benefit to the butter and cheese
eater.
Dealers in all the productions will
keep the prices to the consumer at
the very top, as it now seems.
The administration is brought face
to face with the fact that the Tar
iff does not make Ifes necessaries
dear.
Until trade monopolies grabbed
the necessaries of life the law af sup
ply and demand absolutely govern
ed the prices of what we eat. The
mddleman has become and is the
carbuncle which is sapping the vi
tality of civilization, as this paper
has said time and again.
Democrats said that the monopoly
was the directed result OF the Tar
if. Now, we shall see If the mo;
nopolist drops away after Tariff re-
duction.
Republicans say that the monop-
oply has no relation to the Tariff;
and we are about to see which Is

wait until the new law has time
to act " says a Democratic paper,
"and then you'll see the eats come
down."
Well, we're waiting.
Meantime we are seeing "the eats

President Wilson, however, says
that Tariff reduction will have but
dittle effect on prices of things to

cut the profits of somebody.

THE TOBACCO SITUATION.

For the past two years Ohio county
tobacco growers have been especial
ly unfortunate, not only because OF
too much rain and too little rain, but
because of our lineup in organization
Last year the tobacco buyers SEEM
ingly refused to buy the crop in Ohio
county as a punishment for the 10y
atty which our growers had shown for
many years to orginization. This
year when the consolidated system was
offered, our people went into it al
most solidly, not as We understand to
fight the Society OF Equity, but in
an effort to bring together all the
different organizations which had been
used by the tobacco trust heretofore
as a club with which to kill out the
organization itself. For some rea-
son the Green River Growers which
many believe, whether justly or not,
to be simple and adjunct to the to-
bacco trust, refused to go into any
agreement whereby the entire crop
could be sold at one time. This or
ginization was followed by REM
nant of the American Society OF
Equity in some of the counties. Now,
these two organizations have sold ac-
cording to newspaper reports, deliv-
cries are to begin next Monday. They
claim to control about twelve million
pounds of tobacco, although We are
quite sure from all the information
We can obtain they do not control
one third this amount. The report
of the meeting of the Society of Equity
in Mclean county was that it was
attended by only thirteen persons
and that the sale was defeated by one
majority. The truth is the great bulk
of tobacco in Mclean, Daviess, Ham
cock and Ohio is controlled by the
consolidated organization and the
other orginizations should act with
this one, and it is a crime for them
to push what tobacco they have on
the market and thus feed the trust
and furnish it with a club to ruin
their brother growers who have not
pooled with them. The time has
come when this whole matter must
be settled in some way. 1t cannot go
on under existing conditions, With
utO serious consequences. 1t may
seem difficult thing to do, but the
best solution to the tobacco problem
would be for the farmers not to OBJ
ligate themselves to hosd for sell
ing price, or raise only a certain nun
Der of acres, but to sign a binding
obligation and make it as near un-
animous as possible, never TO raise
another pound of tobacco. This will
solve the problem and solve it good
and strong for all time. Our peo-
pie become worked up over the in
justice practiced toward them to
such an extent that it is positively
detrimental to our good citizenship.
On last Tuesday we saw a great
meeting in the Courthouse at Hart
ford composed of the very bone and
sinew of the farmers OF Ohio county.
They realized, many of them, the
very necessities of life for their
families depended upon a settlement
of the tobacco question. 1t is no
wonder they were nervous and easy
excited. Is it worth while to engage
in an occupation about which clus-
ters so much injustice, so much toll
and SO much strife in order to real
ize a mere pittance as a reward? Let
us drive it from our country, raise
more corn, hogs. Grass, cattle, etc,
