Southwestern Manitoba will reap q

the district are very optimistic. The
rye crop is exceptionally good; many
fields will yield upwards of 30 bushels
per acre. The fields are remarkably

almost entirely obllterated. No dam

HADLEY IS WRONG
CONTROLLER uADLEY has no r

CONTROLLER IIADLEY has no right to
~ demand from Director COrtclyou tho
names of secret agents To whom money IS
paid for their services. according to an
opinion by City Solicitor Smyth.
1t will be recalled that the Controller re-
fused to pay a warrant for $500 sent to him
by the Director of Public Safety on the
ground that it did not contain the names
of the men who were to receive the money,
and that the Director refused to disclose
the names on the ground that If they were
made known the lives Of the men would be
in danger. q
This newspaper said at the time that the
Controller was wrong and that the Di-
rector was right; that even though the list
Of names should be locked in the Con-
troller' safe. there was no guarantee that
some spy Of the machine interested In the
protection Of vice would not have access
to them.
The opinion OF the City Solicitor iustifcs
the action of Director Cortelyou in keep
ing secret the identity Of his secret agents.
1t is assumed that the Controller will make
no further trouble.

PAGE on WILSON

TNllE letters and papers Of Walter Hines
l. Page will be among the important docu-
mcntS consulted by the biographcr who
makes the final appraisal of Woodrow Will
son. Many of them have been appearing
scrially in the Worlds Work in advance of
their publication in book form. A memo
randum written in the American Embassy
in London on April 1, 1917, which appears
in this magazine for August, contains an
appraisal of the man by one Of his inti-
mate friends and supporters which is Gu
riously In harmony with that made by his
political opponents at the time.
Mr.. Page wrote on that date, when il was
apparent that the United States would enter
the war. that the President began by rcfus-
ing to understand the meaning of the war
and by regarding the American conflicts
with England as of equal Importance with
the conflicts with Germany. lie says that
the second error of the President was his
belief that he could play the part Of peace
maker and that he offered to play the role
with a condesccnsion of manner that was
offensive .lIe shut himself up with these
two IDEAS writes Mr.. Page, "and en-
gagged in what he called thought The air
currents of the world never ventilated his
mind
But events had forced Mr.. Wilson to de-
the situation in this way: ''He seems no
longer to regard himself nor TO speak as a
lcadcr-only as the mouthpiccc of public
opinion after public opinion has run over
him. He has not breathed n spirit into the
people he has encouraged them TO supine
ness. lie is not leader, but rather stub
born phrase maker
Strange as it may seem TO the Wilson
worshipers, the letters Of Franklin Il.
Lane, who was close to Mr.. Wilson IN
Washington. contain frequent passages in
which an opinion like that entertained by
Mr.. Page is expressed. Here are two dis
tnguishcd Democrats, one the American
Ambassador in London and the other the
Secretary of the Interior, who could not
refrain from putting on record their i'm
patience with the marked limitations of the
Decentralization which impressed
themselves on every one who came in con-
tact with him. These contemporary and in
innate views cannot help affecting the ulti-
mate verdict of history on the man.

A WALLOP FROM THE WISE

TT WAS the contention OF a certain Amer
lean philosopher that after mooring at
Pier 20 on the voyage of life the fortunate
! traveller was privileged to entertain any
opinions he pleased and TO express them
freely.
The dock Of indiscrction has long since
been passed by David II. Lane who IS
eighty three today. As the anniversaries
Of his nativity roll around, exhibitions Of
caustic wisdom from this political sage are
conventionally expected. However star
tling his reflections, they are usually ac-
cepted without resentment.
This is fortunate. since Mr.. Lane, now
sojourning in Atlantic Ciry. has seen fit TO
sum up the fair situation. Get the
money urges the tersc "Uncle Dave"
''and the rest will take care of itself"
The boldncSs of advanced years can no

for speaking the truth. His years protect
him. lie cannot be rcorganI2cd or asked
to resign from the exposition management.
He has never had anything to do with it.

this recovery for fear their appeal for aid
may seem to lose convincing poignancy. 1t

Proof that the American merchant marine

to emphasize definitely that the merchant
