Canaaa,s Political Break.p.
By George Perry Morria

The old parties in Canada are
passing. Nova Scotia has just re-
turned @. H Murray, Liberal, as
prenser, but with a reduced number
of followers; while the Conservs-
tive party's representation in the
provincial legislature has been ex-
tinguished- Farmer and Labor can
didates have come into the place of
Opposition, and, as In Ontario, the
older social and financial factors Of
the province are feeling around TO
see where they go next Cape
Breton, a great coal and iron dis
trict, is to have solid labor repre-
sentation in the lawmaking body,
Hard-headed Scottish bred Blue
Noses" have done this The Scotch,
who have made Canada and who
rule 1t, are either very conservative
or very radical When they give up
the one position they are quite apt
to go TO the other. They make poor

Percy Mncknye's New Habitat.

What is there about the Ohio COL
leges that makes them partial TO the
influence of persons like Edith
wynne Mathison and Percy Mackaye
as guides in the dramatic art? For
some years past this admirable, in
terpreter of English dramatic litera-
ture has gone each academic year
to Oberlin College and to its youth
Of both sexes taught not only the
beauty of the art of Shakespeare but
the possibilities of spoken English,
as she so finely uses IL. Now Miami
College. in the village OF oxford, has
entered into a compact with Percy
Mackaye, by which he takes up
residence in a studio near the
campus. where he and his family
will live ruralwise according TO
their past habit. He is to get
professors salary as well as his
home. He will not be tied up TO
formal teaching. but will have an
atmospheric effect" upon the stu
dent life, consulting with advanced
members Of the group. Most of his
time will be his own to devote TO
play and pageant writing. A near
neighbor will be Edgard Stillman-
Kelley, the composer, who has a
similar arrangement with another
college located in the town. Ap-
parently Oxford. Ohio, is bidding for

by a wellmeaning citizen who told
him not to worry about the Presi-

were many jobs that bright young
man like Tumulty could get, the
visitor added. For instance, he
might go on commission, or back
to law, or into a thousand and one
other things which are open to
young men of good habits and high
moral character.
All of which gave Tumulty a good
laugh. Leaning far back in his

Sharp Dunaway Stopt Over and Want ed to Trade Raccocns for Deer
 Missed Seeing Possum Club Head.
 Mena was honored Wednesday by visit from the celebrated Sharp Duna- way, travelling correspondent of the Arkansas Gazette, who stopt off in the county seat of Polk county while on his way from Little Rock to Cove, where he attended the Ford Younce sale of blooded stock. Dunaway, like all other visitors, was imprest by the beauty of Mena's natural surround ings and among his first inquiries was about the auto road between Mena and .he state capital. He plans to bring his family to Mena this summer. A visit to Janssen Park brought many compliments from the well known newspaper man. He was particularly imprest by the Lochridge memorial clock and the herd of deer. The sight of the deer aroused Dunaway's trad ing propensities, and he made an of- fer of copies of his book, "The Life of Jeff Davis," and some live raccoons for two of the young deer
 Dunaway has a collection of ani- mals at Conway and wants the deer to add to his zoo. The visitor was also disappointed in not meeting Presi- dent Petefish of the Polk County Pos sum Club, he having a new invention of caging possums that he desired to show the Acorn man.
