The death of the Very Rev. H.
Leduc, o. NJ. L., at the General Hos
pital, Edmonton, Alberta, on June 29,
removed another prominent figure
from the rapidly diminishing ranks
of the pioneer Oblate missionaries of
the Canadian Northwest. From the
time he crossed the Red River in
1865, until the day of his death, he
devoted himself with unwearying zeal
to the task of converting the Redman
and bringing the blessing of the gos-
pei to the early colonistS and their
successors on the fertile plains that
lie between Hudson Bay and the
Rockies. The vigorous health that
sustained him in his journeyings and
labors for more than half century
began to .Wane about two years ago;
but nevertheless he remained at his
post of duty until complication of
diseases forced him, few weeks ago,
to become a patient in the General
Hospital where he passed to his
of the Church he had served SO well.
Funeral services were held in Ed
monton on July 2, after which the
body was borne to the former Epis-
copal See of st. Albert, ten miles
distant, where the final obsequies took
place the following day.
The Pontifical Mass of Requiem was
celebrated by his lifelong friend and
fellow-missionary, the Most Reverend
Emile J. Legal, o. M. l., d. D., Arch
bishop of Edmonton. The sermon
was preached by the Most Reverend
A. Beliveau, d. D., Archbishop of St
Boniface, Man, who eXtolled the zeal
piety, and disinterested service to re

signally striven to realize the pur

 The officer, in my opinion, at the noise of the wire should have given the four-tap signal, which meant, "On your own, get back to your trenches as quickly as possible" but again he must have relied on the spiel that Old Pep per hnd given us in the dugout, Per sonally I believe that that part of the German trench is unoccupied" Any way, we got careless, but not so care less that we sang patriotic songs or made any unnecessary noise.

 to twenty German star shells were fired all along the trench and landed in the barbed wire in rear of us, turn
 ing night into day and silhouetting us against the wall of light made by the flares. Tn the glaring light we were confronted by the following unpleasant scene.
 All along the German trench. at about three-foot intervals, stood big Prussian gnardsman with his rifle at the aim. and then we found out why we had not been challenged when the man sneezed and the barbed wire had been improperly cut. About three feet in front of the trench they had con structed single fence of barbed wire aud We knew our chances were one thousand to one of returning alive.

 The prohibition against an officer succeeding himself or becoming a candidate for another office during the term of office, has been made to apply only to those who are elected after the new constitution is adopted.
 This opens up several interesting conjectures and circumstances in which the 'ifs" loom large. If the constitution is submitted at special election before the general election in November, and if it is ratified by the people, then the officers who are elect ed in November will have been elected after the adoption of the constitution, and will be barred. But if the con- stitution is submitted at the general election, for which there appears to be growing sentiment, then the off cers will not be elected after the adop- tion, but at the same time, and the prohibition could not apply.
 During the state convention there appeared above the surface some po- litical periscopes that seemed to in dicate some interesting developments within the next twelve-months There was open talk about the probability of Governor Brough becoming a can didate for the U. s. Senate against Senator W. F. Kirby, altho this rumor was neither denied or confirmed by Governor Brough. Incidentally, it is held by many that the plank in the constitution could not be made to ap- ply to this office any way, since the senate is itself the judge of the qual- ifications of its own members. How ever, that is one of the interesting possibilities of the future
 And it has been an open secret among his friends for some time that T. I. Terral. secretary of state, will be a candidate for governor to sue ceed Governor Brough He has been quietly is laying his fences and rally ing to his support some strong and influential supporters among the po- litical leaders of the state.
 Of course there will be other candi- dates. That is to be expected. With the term of office increased to four years and the salary raised several thousand dollars as it will be by the constitutional convention, there are likely to be several candidates. But Tom is not concerned about his op- ponents, and says he is going to wir anyway. He is not ready to announce his candidacy yet, in fact, he is moi talking it around generally, and is not seeking general publicity of tho fact But this little inside dope is just between the writer of these truthful chronicles and the reader. Tom Terral is coming political leader who will have to be reekoTe1 with.

WRESTLING WITH
 POLITICAL GUNS
Constitutional Convention Endeayors to Bust Time-Honored System Some Interesting Phases of
 Situation.
lBy Clio Harperl.

Little Rock, July 17.--Next years politics is already coming to the front, while the constitutional con- vention has been wrestling with the problem of spiking the long-distance political guns. The convention has endeavored to bust up the time-hon- ored political machine by throwing a monkey-wrench into it's vitals, pro- hibiting any man in office from suc- ceeding himself or anybody else aft CT he has served four years.
 Of course there is another side to it, and not all the members of the convention are fully satisfied over the action of the majority. While there is growing opposition to off, cers perpetuating themselves in office, there were strong arguments made on the floor of the convention against the tendency to deny to the people the right and privilege of electing to office any man whom they might de- sire, whether he happened to be in office or out; and that it is unjust to those men who are ambitious to sue ceed in the world, to say that they shall not aspire to other offices, after they have served faithfully in one.
 "The remedy is worse than the bite of the snake,' is the way one of them put it in opposing the new prin- ciple which it is sought to write into the organic law of the state. How ever, that is the way it is now writ ten, and there appears to be no move ment at the present time toward a reversal on the subject.
