Canada has a railroad scandal involv-
ing, it is charged, millions of graft in
the building of the Transcontinental
railroad. In introducing the bill in the
H ouse Of Commons July 80, 1903, for the
building of this line of railway from
Moncton to the Pacific Ocean Sir Will
fred Laurier said that the cost would be
Sin the neighborhood of twelve million
or thirteen million dollars, and not cent
more" and that the surplus of that year
would pay for the construction OF the
road. Now a special from Ottawa says:
fsMr. Gordon Grant. chief engineer OF
the Transcontinental estimated in Sep
tember, 1911, that the total cost exclu-
sive of interest would be $161, 300, 600.
With interest added to the end of 1921,
when the Grand Trunk Pacific should
begin operation the road will have cost
the country the enormous total Of 1884,
s5l,521." In this connection the Canad-
IAN papers give page after page of de-
tails of grating.

President Wilson's foreign policy-or
lack of one-has degraded this country
in the eyes of the world. Under his pre-
decessors the United States had taken
the position among the great nations to
which it is entitled and it was generally
recdknized that Americans everywhere
would be protected by their flag. In at
tempting to dictate who should rule in
Meico-which, to use common ex-
preston, was none Of his business
President Wilson ordered Americans to
leave that country, abandoning their
property: and, failing to do this, they
were left to the mercy Of cutthroats

The foreign trade movement inaugu
rated by the Maine State Board OF Trade,
is receiving the endorsement of many
leading men of the State. One of the
most recent communications on the sub
ject received by Howard W. Bible, who
has been largely instrumental in accusing
sentiment in favor of the foreign trade
propaganda, is from Senator Edwin e.
Burleigh, who says:
Properly managed IT will mean increas-
ed returns to manufacturers, employees
and communities generally. 1t will also
bring into the State the better class OF
immigrant and in that way be of benefit
to our merchants as well as our manufac-
turers. This State movement should re-
ceive the unqualified support OF all par
ties IN the State, for IN my opinion moth
ing of such importance to our future
prosperity has come before US in recent
years. Assuring all those who have the
work in hand of my hearty support, l
am,
Yours very truly.

ferently of the dance. The writ.
er has been requested by several
to give the names of those who
attended a recent dance. For
shame tothe cause of Christ he
will not do ii. We who are the
Christian men and women have
no right to go where we cannot
take Him with us. For the sake
of our example we have no right
to attend these places. The BIZ
bic says that, eff the eating of!
meat causes my brother to offend
then / will eat no more meat"
Then in like manner IN means,
"If the dance causes the>ruin of
thousands upon thousands of
girls, thenI will take NV stand
against the dance. There is not
a Christian man or woman in
Powell county but knows that it
is wrong to attend them, but
knows that Christ would never
be seen on dancing floor to-
dance, and knows that He does
not want any of His followers to
attend them. Many have attend
ed these dances not realizing the
harm in them, but, brother, sister,
beware lest you lose, your crown of
eternal glory, and that you place
a stumbling block before those
who are watching just how you
live, how you act aud what you
do as a Christian. You are judy
ed by what you do and not by
what you saw. God is keeping a
record of your life, and you will
be judged by that record IN the
day of Judgment. If you lose
Heaven it will be your own fault,
for you made your choice. You
cannot afford to trifle with your
soul, and death comes when you
are least prepared sometimes.
As your deeds are, and as death
finds your life, so shall be your
eternity. Three young men in
Stanton who pave been attend
ing these daNses, Wre asked if
they would for their sister to
attend, and Eeryone of them
said, "No, i would not want my
sister to go to these dances"
Next week the writer will speak
of providing legitimate amuse-
ments for our young people. We
fathers and mothers are lar gely
responsible for these dances, be-
cause we have gwen the young
people nothing else to 90 to.
