BIC CROPS
Conditions in Western Canada
Please Farmers.
Seeding Has Been Begun Earlier Than
for Many Years, and Soil Is
in Perfect Shape.

With weather conditions highly fac
Vorable, the farmers of Western CAM
ada, with the exception probably OF
a portion Of Manitoba, have completed
seeding from ten to fifteen days earlier
than for some years past. In some
parts of Manitoba there were floods
which delayed seeding, but they have
abated, and left the land in good shape
for quick work and speedy germina-
ton. In Saskatchewan soil conditions
for seeding were never better. With a
generous quantity of snow, which after
melting left needed moisture, and an
other snoWstorm after seeding was
finished, there was an ideal condition
created. From all parts of Alberta
there came the best of reports as to-
rainfall and snow moisture, leaving the
ground in the condition required for
the prospects Of d good crop.
Spring, as in most other parts of the
continent, was backward, but notwith-
standing this, as has been said, farmers
were able to get on the land earlier
than for some years. In fact, seeding
was practically commenced about the
18th of April, which to many readers
may seem remarkable, when it ia
known that several hundred miles far
ther south it was not possible to do
spring seeding for several days later.
Reports to hand on the 10Th of May
state that wheat is up above the
ground in great many places, oats
are being sown, and corn planted.
Farm labor was scarce for awhile, but
the demand has fallen off. One fea-
ture of the demand for farm help is
that farmers are now employing help
by the year, at of course smaller wages
than those paid for special work. The
increasing tendency to employ help by
the year is evidence that farmers ars
not relying solely upon wheat growing.
but are going out into other branches
such as dairying, stock raising, etc.
The prospects in all portions of Vest
ern Canada were never brighter than
at present Information regarding tho
condition of the crops at any time wiz
be sent on request made to any Cana
dian government agent
ment.

NEW BRITISH PREMIER
Stanley Baldwin, Chancellor Of
Exchequer, Is Named.
Conservative Party Leaders Heed
Labor's Strong Opposition to Lord
Curzon-Also Backed by i
Business Men.

London, May g. Stanley Baldwin,
chancellor of the exchequer, became
premier of Great Britain Tuesday.
Conservative party leaders decided
that Lord Curzon's ambition to sue
coed Andrew Bonar Law as the head
of the government was impracticable.
Accordingly they selected Mr.. Baldwin
as the man most likely to obtain full
party support.
This decision was communicated to
King George, who promptly sent for
Mr.. Baldwin and offered him the
prime ministership. The chancellor ac-
cepted, and at ten minutes after four
left Buckingham palace for 10 Down
ing street, and began his efforts to
form new cabinet.
The selection of Mr.. Baldwin was
indirectly a tribute to the power OF
the Labor party. The Laborites vigor-
ously opposed the selection of Lord
Curzon as premier.
The reason advanced by the Labor
party was t1at inasmueh as Lord Cur
zon is a peer, only peers would be
able to question him and debate with
him In parliament.

HARDING URGES
SPIRIT OF 1877
Says People Should Rededicate
Selves to Aims of Constitution
Preamble.
SPEAKS BEFORE N. A. C. MEET
Has Misglvlngs With Respect to the
Common Observation Nowadays
That Democracy Is on
Trial.

Washington, May %. - Declaring
that human society has never faced
a more complex or difficult situation, .
President Harding appealed for a re-
dedication of the American people to
the aims and purposes of their gov
eminent as set forth in the preamble
of the Constitution, in an address at
the opening session here Of the Nation
al American council, an organization
recently formed to encourage better
citizenship.
The President declared such a re-
dedication would furnish to the nation
commanding and dominating inter-
est" which, he said, had been lacking
since the World war.
The President deplored the lack of a
definite common purpose, such as was
set up by the war and declared he had
misgiyings with respect to the COM
mon observation nowadays altogether
too lightly made that democracy is on
trial.
''We will be quite safe in admitting"
he added, that many Of the institu-
tons which have been set up in the
hope that through them the best aims
of democracy might be realized, are
on trial We will make no mistake II
we confess that the attitudes and con-
duct Of many people who profess de-
votion to democratic institutions are
on trial. But all this may be admitted
without implying that any important
part of society is seeking an alterna-
tive Of democracy.
mo one great dominating and APP
pealing cause has been visualized be-
fore us, to command our loyalty and
devotion. We have not discovered any
single all-obsorbing enterprise capable
Of commanding the services of the
whole united community.
eve need to find such command
ing and dominating national interest,
and 1 believe it would be found if we
could contrive means to set before all
the people the full meaning and impli-
cation of that simple statement about
the aims and purposes of our govern
ment which is contained in the pre-
amble Of the Constitution.
'In that preamble the fathers of the
Republic set forth the objective Of this
great democracy: We the people of
the United States, in order to form a
more perfect union, establish justice,
insure domestic tranquility, provide
for the common defense, promote
the general welfare and secure the
blessings of liberty to ourselves and
our posterity, do ordain and establish
this Constitution for the 1uited States
of America /"

SAFEGUARDING OUR
CONSTITUTION
BY A. BLOOMFIELD,

Conductor on the Chicago and NORTH
Western Railway.
At the second annual banquet of tho
Pennsylvania System Veteran Emo
ployes' Association, member Of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, the
Hon. William I. Schaffer, spoke on "A
Proposed Change in Government" He
said in part that a proposition was
being advanced by some '"That there
shall be denied to the Supreme Court
of the United States the power which
1t has always exercised to declare
whether or not Acts of Congress are
in consonance with the Constitutions
whether that power shall be taken
away from the Court and lodged In
Coneress, without appeal. or whether
ii sl.all remain as 1t has remained
since the foundation of the Govern
ment, with the Supreme Court Of the
United States.
''This proposition-and 1t concerns
everyone who is here, It concerns your
children, and your children's children
advanced by powerful group OF
men, championed by at least one
United States Senator, is, that when
an act of Congress shall have been
passed and shall be declared to be un.
constitutional by the Supreme Court
of the United States, If it shall be-
passed again by Congress, then the
Supreme Court Of the United States
shall be without power to declare ii
unconstitutional, and it shall be the
Law of the land.
sThat is to say-when that PROPOSE
ton comes to be finally analysed, Ii
amounts to this-that Congress shall
be supreme and without restraint, and
that means that there shall be wrought
a change in the Government Of this
nation greater than any that was ever
proposed in its history"
Justice Schaffer undoubtedly found
In talking to railway employees most
sympathetic audience, for they gener-
ally are familiar with the manner in
which their brotherhoods are organs
lied and the respect which is paid to
the constitution of such organizations.
Railway brOtherhoods never delegate
to their representatives, who occupy
the same position with them as does
Congress with the people, as whole,
the power to in any way infringe upon
the rights of their constitution and
bylaws. The entire membership Of a
railway brotherhood, approaching the
safeguards which their constitution
and bylaws throw around their organ-
ization, reserve to the entire member
ship the right to make changes or ale
terations or amendments. No group
of men in the United States will be
any quicker to see the fallacy of ar
guments presented for handing over to-
our representatives in Washington un-
limited power and authority.
We know that for the practical
working out of governmental affairs
we must place a certain amount Of
authority in the hands of those who
are to represent us, but we do not
intend to hand over all authority with
out any check or restraint. We will
let the constitution stand as it is, and
If there are any changes to be mades
we will attend to the making of them
