TYPHOID DISGRACE"

Three speakers of more than ordinary
calibrc visited Ontario last week giving a
feast Of intellectual pleasure And Ontario
enjoyed the visit OF Governor James Witty
combc. Edward Amherst OFT and w. L..
Thompson. Each of them brought message
of the duty of good citizenship, each cN-
pressed in different manner, but each ear
lying straight to the mark
Last Thursday evening Mr. OFT in his
talk gave OntarianS food of thot. He told
them what had happened i'm one town aud hc
voiced the enlightened opinion of mankind
respecting typhoid fever and city which
permits its citizens tu create conditions
which aid its propagation.
According to Mr. OFT typhoid Is not u
calamity, il l. disgrace.
This was the sentiment he uttered and
his remarks were gr"rtcd with u tirr storm
uf applause. All that is well and good. II
is fine to KNOW that large per ccutag' # the
people re'lrc that there is no rcnsGa wlv|
Ontario shopld be- constantly mcaIlccd by
the recurrence Of Il typhoid epidemic Int
that will not prevent its return next fall. Ap.|
plallsc of Il speaker is all right in its place
but it does not bring sanitary conditions in
any town Work and energy. good common
sense and scientific methods common every
day clcanlyncss and consideration for the
lives of others are the price that must be
paid to insure Ontario from II return OF the
typhoid.

Matrimony Is Discussed in Sermon From the CIergy'S Point
 of View.
THE CATHOLIC DOCTRINE
Mission Lecturer Takes
 --ss=r Bible to Sustain the SaCramentaI Points of Marriage.

Last night the Catholic Church twas well filled by commun.a2nls and IctLcTs to listen to ,Aa sermon on Marriage" by Father Mclghcr, the Jesuit mission worker Gt present in Juneau. Father Meaghcr said in l part:
 Marriage as sacred contract was instituted by God in the earthly paradise when the first pair woro united through the bond of an in dissoluble friendship and were given the complement of Gods own creat i've power: Increase and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it. Wherefore marriage has a divine or igin, divine purpose and a divine sanction. It has God, Himself for its author. the propagation of the human race for its primary object, and for sacred sanction, it is hedged around with the divine veto, What therefore, God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.'
 Marriage Ideals
 "In the course of time the high ideal of marriage was lost sight of In consequence of sin. all flesh had corruptcl its way, and the union of man and woman in marriage became the occasion of the greatest evil, The propagation Of the human race was degraded to the base passion Of lust and uuregtraiucd indulgence, and ere long the holiness of contracts had sunk Go the lowest level. The moral corruption that dIsgraccd the pagan world had it's origin in the pervorsion of the ends of matrimony.
 When the Saviour came to this world of ours, He found Society sick unto death. Polygamy which marred and divorce which destroyed the or. lglnal idea of matrimOny obtained ia all the nations of the earth, even among Gods chosen people. Con- jugal inlldelity and even unnatural crimes were added Co that mass Of social cancers that has eaten out the very vitals Of thc Body PONu" beneath the fairest exterior of the au- cicut civilization. In the Jewish Theocracy the foundations of Society were shaken as well as in the Com monwealths of Greece and Rome. Together with the unity and indis- soIubnity of marriage the dignity of woman had disappeared, and one-hall of the human race was in a state of degradation.
 MatrimOry Restored

COPPER MINER OF ALASKA IS
 BRINGING SUIT
Sues KenneCOtt Copper for Seventy-five Thousand for
 Blindness.

CAMONIA, Jan. 4.-(SpeCiaD - An echo of an explosion occurring in the Bonanza copper mine near Kennecott. Alaska in January, 1915, was heard in superior coutt yes. terday when Matt Watson, who was employed in the mine at the time, filed suit for $75,OOO for personal injuries alleged to have been re. ceived. The Kennecott copper cor poration. owner of large mining in. terests, is named as defendant.
 Watson alleges that the mining company was using frozen and de, teriorated dynamite and defective fuse and caps in its workings, which resulted in charge missing fire. When he drilled into it later, not knowing that 1t had failed to explode, the dynamite was set off, causing him to become totally blind.
 The plaintiff alleges further that after the explosion the Kennecott Mines Company, which owned the mines, made a pretended dissolution while it owned several millions of dollars of assets, and that this dis solution was fraudulent and made for the purpose of escaping the pay ment of debts and obligations, includ.
