shows the Folly Of Totino a Gun

LIN y ~ NJ III q 6bs
A little sermon on peace by Homer
Hoch: "Old Bill Jones always carried
a gun or two, and by much practice
when he should have been at work-he
became a crack shot. He said that he
didn't propose to be caught unpre-
pared, and that he went armed in or
der to keep out of trouble. But old
Bill Jones was in more brawls than
anybody, and was finally gathered to
his fathers by a gent who was a little
quicker on the trigger. Nations have
been proceeding on the Bill Jones
theory. This theory-played up strong
by the Honorable Krupp and others
has been that in order to insure peace
they must be ready to fight the world
on a moments notice. But the nations
are just like old Bill. The Bill Jones
theory is ready for the junk pile

fully up to the average. The por-
tons referred to had ample rainfall
and blessed with conditions that put
them into a more enviable condition
than the districts first referred to.
Fortunately in most places where lack
of precipitation prevented harvesting
a good crop this year, this is the
f1rst OF a number of years that it
has happened, and the farmers are
In a position to Withstand a partial
failure. Throughout all Of Manitoba,
Central Saskatchewan and the largest
portions of Alberta conditions are

hogs is now playing an important

Was Not a Real Victory.

In 1912 hundreds Of thousands of
former Republicans voted for the
Democratic candidate, not that they
had changed their political principles,
but through desire to defeat the pro-
gressive or Republican candidate for
the presidency,
The Democrats received directly for
their candidate in 1912 the votes of
hundreds of thousands of angry Re
publicans willing to help elect the
their own PARTY, knowing its defeat
was inevitable.

You want a coy home, a free life,

cation for your children, and some
pleasure for your wife. You want in

The Revised "War Tax" Bill.

Purely partisan treatment of the
proposed emergency taxation legisla-
ton is to be deprecated and on
demned. Public opinion will not ap-
prove such an attitude. But, on the
other hand, if a strong and reasonable
case a be made out against even a
radically revised war tax bill at this
time partisan charges of partisan
ship should deter no Republican or
Progressive member of congress from

How He Forgave McNab.

A Scotchman on his deathbed was
reminded by the attending minister
that the hour of death is an hour for
the banishing of all ill-feeling-a time
for universal forgiveness.
He was a McGregor, and his feud
with the McNabs had been notable. So
the clergyman. with the family's per
mission and assistance, summoned
the head of clan McNab to the dying
McGregor's bedside.
Il forgive We, McNab," whispered the
expiring man, "wi' all my heart-but
may my curse rest on my son forever

Poor Idea of Taxation.

The proposal to tax freight receipts
seems %singularly infelicitous. At the
moment when the railroads are suf-
fering for needed revenue, and when
they have been denied the privilege
of increasing freight rates, the govern
ment itself ought not to step in and
impose a tax which will increase the
cost of shipments. A still more po-
tent objection has been found in the
disturbance which would inevitably be
caused in the nice balance of trade
conditions, especially in the competi-
tive coal fields.

Evil Of Free Raw Wool.

If it were not for the injury to the
industries involved the test of free
wool and free sugar might be well
coined in the sense that it has shown
the utter fallacy of a time-worn ar
gument. In the last fiscal year IA
953, 1894 sheep were slaughtered. The
average slaughter for the seven pre-
ceding years was 1885,, 021. Can it
be argued in the face of this distress
ing comparison that free raw wool
has been of advantage to the country?
