Surrender of Rights

Its union with the Northwest Company, after a long period of rivalry, marks another triumph in the Hudson's Bay Company's career, while Of the greatest importance of all was the occasion when in 1870, at the time of the Confedera- tion of the Provinces, some of the rights under the charter were sur rendered to the Queen of England so that the people of Canada might come into possession of the terri tories which the company had rul- ed for two hundred years.
 This surrender, instead of res tricting the activities of the com pany, actually increased them, for while its interest under the old regime had centred almost ex- clusiyely in the fur trade, the new constitution necessitated the allot- ment of lands and the erection of stores to meet the growing de- mands of an ever increasing pop ulation.
 The fur trade, then, was really the embryo of the great company which has now developed into so widespread a concern, carrying in its huge department stores an in finite variety of wares on the most up-to-date lines. Many of the stores are, in fact, direct decend- dants of the old fur-trading posts.

say. in his S0th year:
with all the. deficiencies and

err understanding among the peo-

and faithful done in the past half
century has been wasted"

practical optimism; that, the judg-

tLeWlStOn Journai)
The primaries should not be tight
ened up-they should be broadened
and made >easier for all to enter.
There should be no increase of the
number required on a petition. They
should be SO that the poorest man
may have a chance with the richest.
To repeal the primaries would re-
turn to the old convention plan
which is n denial Of the right of the
person not i'll favor with the party.
lie has his rights. On the other
hand there is u party right. 1t has
to conduct the campaign; it has to
stand for principles. 1t has to make
platforms. and often to find that 1t
has q man on it's ticket who does not
stand on that platform.
We can see no objection to taking
the party into the primary to this
extent. 1t might not work-perhaps
it would not. But at present the
Primary must look out for itself,
else by its very narrowness it fall
forever into hands of men who have
nothing to recommend them except
gall and cash.

the vehicle and would make for
nroper oversight that they were USED
in such a way as not to infringe
on others rights; and tyucks coming
from out the State would in that
event nay the same mileage that our
own trucks pay and Wouio nave no
advantage over them.
This would probably work OUT
better in some avs than a gas TAX
and be less complicated for adjust
ment as gas is used for many other
purposes; it would be arranged 10
regulate the cost according to the
loads carried and the relative dam
age to the highway.
The use of trucks and cabs on our
main travelled roads, and largely on
those roads near or paraiielinS tne
"a ilroadS is a menace and is yearly
becoming more dangerous, as IS
shown by the increasing number OF
accidents in which trucks are in
volved; their slow speed is blocking
and making more conGested the
highways and is disturbing and de-
laying other cars which find 1t an
noying and unsafe to try to pass
them in crowded traffic, as they hide
the road and do not accommodate by
turning out, as lighter cars can.
This traffic must be regulated and
methods should be sought to control
their use on the crowded roads; they
should run either at night, or such
portion of the day that the road Is
rost free from travel, or be allow
ed the use of the road for one or two
days each week, the regulation vary
ing with different roads and condt-
tons.
At present the tendency is for the
lighter cars to take other connect
ing roads, when passable, leaving
the trunk line roads to trucks, and
for business cars between the cities,
as they are not satisfactory for the
pleasure and comfort of riding.
Trucks should not be allowed to
make lower rates between rail points
tran between points not SO connect
ed
The claim that trucks use larger
amount of gas per mile is offset by
the fact that they do not run as
many miles as the lighter cars.
Trucks should be required to have
six wheels in order to distribute the
load over more surface, for trucks
OF over three tons carrying capacity,
ana undoubtedly this will finally be
the outcome, and will work for the
life of the truck as we'll as of the
road.
In our climate trucks cannot be
used at certain times without greatly
damaging the roads, especially to the
sides and shoulders, and should have
more strict regulation.
No one denies that the causes
which wear out and destroy our
roads should bear the burden of re-
placing them, and a tax on the
weigh of the vehicle. with a mileage
tax. would appear to be something
which no one can question, as APP
portioning the cost equitably with
those responsible for them. or would
have the benefits from their use.

1T MAY BE A RuMoR

It may be merely q rumor that a
bill is to be introduced penalizing
the farmer, who for any reason
harvests damp hay. on the pretext
that when fed to his cows 1t will i'm.
pair the value Of the milk, and con.
sequently the health Of the con-
sumner; also a bill to prevent the
electric light companies and 1.-The
movies" from maintaining the bright
lights later than 10 p. NJ. on the
ground that police regulation Of the
health and morals of the public re-
quires said public to be in bed and
nicely tucked in before midnight.
1t is possible that such rumor
might have been originated by the
consideration now being given to a
bill to penalize community for set
ting it's alarm clock on other than
standard time. But in the interests
of economy would it not be adj
visable to have one commission, one
force of inspectors. and lieu
tenants, the plain clothes men
and the marshals Of parade and pos
sibly the highway police assigned to
the combined duty of enforcing all
these regulations? This may be dis
appointing to some Of those good
people, now consumed by desire to
save civilization from itself, and
who can conceive of none better fit
ted to do this'than are they. them
selves, provided the annual stipend
or the per diem be suitable to their
needs.
1t also is possible there might be
some hesitancy with regard to guar
anteeing suitable penalty for
evasion Of the law. However, as no
one seems to doubt that a mu-
nicipality may be fined for con-
tumaciously INDUCING in daylight
saving time, and, of course, If per-
sisting in being contumacious may
be incarcerated in Jail, why hesitate
to consider a penalty that along
about haying time would round up
truculent farmers. managers of
movie theaters and electric light
companies and set them to work in
convict accoutrements on our high
ways?
We do need good highways.

passed into pleasant history on Satur-
day evening when the seniors gave
the annual masquerade and valentine
party. The gymnasi SUM never looked
so dainty as it did with it's countless
festoons of red and white. amid which
small red hearts were suspended
from above by fine threads. Enor-
nous hearts filled every window
while Cupids arrows and gay fes
toons adorned the walls. A charming
screen Of white lattice enclosed Ave
piece orchestra which furnished an
excellent program during the entire
evening. Each corner opposite the
stage was transformed into fasci-
mating booth. At one, those with
Cupids accuracy in hitting hearts
won large prizes. while at the other
booth the lucky ones secured nuTfler-
GUS favorS.
The entertainment began with a
grand march of the merry masquers
