In the interests of clearnes essential that they should not b who do confuse them have a pur with practical politics to serve .

The leader in the anti-militarist movémentrasy it is called, is the ‘Toronto Weekly Sun. The Sun is a newspaper devoted mostly to the interests of the farmers of that province. Its guiding spirit has been Mr. Goldwin Smith. The position which it is now taking is a thoroughly consistent one, though the proper time for agitation was last spring, not now. It will not admit that we have any imperial responsibilities. It advises Canadians to go ahead and devote all their energies and re- sources to building up their country along the soundest economic lines. Any money which the Dominion spends in preparation for the possible need of defending itself against a foreign foe it considers wasted. Its references to the militia leave no doubt that if the editor had his way, the whole foree would be disbanded. As for compli- cations with other nations, it does not see that these are a possibility, if we mind our own business and refrain from giving offence.

The writer has been a careful reader of the Sun for many years and ‘oes not believe that he states its general ideas at all unfairly. They are prac- tically identical with those of the Quaker church. From such a newspaper no other stand than that which it is taking on the Canadian navy problem was to be expected and there is this much to be said for it, that if the general attitude towards international questions adopted by the majority of journalists and politicians and private citizens, both in our own and in other countries, were identical with that of the Sun, all men-of-war could soon be sent to the scrap heap and regular and volunteer armies be abolished.

But to the Saturday News at least, anxious though it is to promote the cause of international peace and recognizing though it does that our much vaunted civilization is a mockery, so long as we maintain vast armaments for the destruction of our fellow-men, it appears that until a stronger

in idleness at the expense of of the country. How would this strike the farmer toiling in’ the fields on a hot summer day, sweating for all he is worth earning money to be squandered on_ this naval folly? Wotldn’t it be better for the farmer to spend his money in securing better roads, better houses, better implements, and even in taking a little pleasure?”

At a union meeting of Forest Rose and Apple Grove Granges, held at the former’s hall, in Yar- mouth, West Elgin, Ontario, the following reso- lution was moved and carried:

“That we, the assembled members of the Forest Rose and Apple Grove Granges here assembled, convey to our representatives in parliament, in the strongest terms possible, our disapproval of our government building or having built a fleet of wat ships ,as unnecessary, and not in the interests of Canada as an agricultural country.”

The Huntingdon, (Que.) Gleaner says:

“Mr. Borden's address at Halifax does away with any expectation that he would oppose the creation of a Canadian navy. Conservatives are going to link hands with the followers of Laurier in forcing upon Canada the dreadful curse of mili- tarism. Unless the farmers bestir themselves, and it is out of their earnings the money has to come to build ships and pay sailors, there is no hope of escape. ‘The two political parties are, for once working in accord.”

The Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario delivered an address in which he urged that schoolboys should be taught rifle-shooting. This was the comment of the Oshawa, (Ont.) Vindicator:

“This is inculeating militarism with a vengeance in the place where it will do the most harm. The writer is not unacquainted with the state of mind which leads to such remarks, but had thought

Canadian parliament's action, indicated above. — It has already been considered at length on this page on several occasions. Sifted down, it means that a choice has to be made between retaining control of our own expenditure and delegating it to the im- perial government. We do not see how anyone who has taken the trouble to study the history of our institutions can fail to approve of the stand which the leaders of both parties adopted. If there were some feasible scheme of — imperial federation before us, by which we could in such matters as

which spent our money for imperial purposes, the surrender by our own parliament of ts functions might be justified. But what is now being urged upon ts in many quarters is that we turn over to the parliament at London, in which we have no standing and over which we can exert no direct influence, the absolute control of what will amount to a very large share of our yearly taxation. By following this course we would yield a principle which it took many years of bitter struggle to estab- lish, a principle which must be maintained if we are to have on the northern part of the continent such a nation as the average Canadian hopes for. The Saturday News considers itself an imperialist, but not if this term involves a limitation of national aspirations or national power. What we hope to sce is a group of strong nations within the Empire, each with full powers of self-government, but acting together for the good of the whole. No other scheme can be made a source of strength to our- selves or to the British Dominions in general.

All this was thoroughly tnderstood by Sir Wil- frid Laurier and Mr. Borden, when events brought Canada to the parting of the ways last spring. ‘To their lasting credit, their action was in keeping with the great issues involved. They declined to make

ored for so long when he was its representative. Voicing what it the sentiments of the Conservatives own home, it says absolutely and cation that ninety out of a hundred vatives in the city are absolutely 7 opposed to the policy of a Cana- y, and that in the Conservative itenac also the proportion of Conser- d to a Canadan navy is fully as nly right,” adds the Standard, “that den refers to Sir John he and the leaders of the party should know ment in respect to a Canadian navy Sir John’s home city.” ends color to the despatches emanat- twa that great pressure is being ar) upon the Conservative leader to . But he shows every disposition guns. On October 29 he stated in iat “so far as the Conservative party 1e question of Canada’s participation ation and maintenance of Imperial : rests today exactly where it. did timous resolution of parliament was ch 29 last” ~ ising to be stampeded, he is acting d with those opinions both in ‘ott e old Jand, which are most entitled n. Despite what the Kingston Stan- e is everything to indicate that Sir ~yunnrrveaviacuonald’s stand, if he were alive today, would be exactly the same as Mr. Borden's. ‘The man who stood closest to the great Conservative leader, Sir Charles ‘Tupper, an imperialist when there were few to lay claim to the tithe in the country, has declared emphatically that “the true interests of the Empire are opposed to this demand — for colonial contributions to the Imperial navy.” Lord Milner, Lord Charles Beresford the editor of the London ‘Times, and many others whose imperialism is not open to question, but who have approached this question as students of politics, not as prac- tical politicians, have gone on record to the same effect.

Up till the last week, the only sign of revolt has been in the Conservative ranks. But now Hon. H. R. Emmerson, Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s former Min- ister of Railways comes out with this declaration:

“Tm with Rogers on that issue,” he declared. “I do not approve of the tin-pot navy they are talking about. Why spend millions on a navy before branch lines are secured for the Intercolonial Rail- way. Canada should solve her transportation prob- lems first. She should make a country to protect before building a ship to protect it.”

Mr. Emmerson says he is with Mr. Rogers. But the last part of jis statement would indicate that he is opposed to our undertaking any naval de- burdens at all. Mr. Rogers himself is far from clear in the expression of his ideas, and there is every reason to believe that the confusion is intentional. Those who are advocating a contribution to the imperial exchequer stand at the opposite pole from those who argue against our having a naval policy at all, but they are quite prepared to receive whit aid they can from those who hold to the latter opinion in their effort to change the policy that the country has agreed upon,

They say it more in sorrow than in anger that the North-West is a great disappointment. ‘The crops are poor—the people are poor— and mean! The meanest lot of farmers on earth.

COLD BROUGHT ON KIDNEY DISEASE

Brantford Lady Suffered Till Cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills.

Mrs. A. H. Thompson had Heart Dis-

and Tells How She was Restored | to Health.

Brantford, Ont, Oct., 25. (Special). — low Colds, Lagrippe, and other mi- nor ills settle on the Kidneys, and develop Rheumatism, Heart Disease, Bright’s Disease and other terribly dangerous ailments; and how and and all of them are cured by Dodd's Kid- jney Pills is fully shown in the case of Mrs. A. H. Thompson, whose home is at 48 Albion Street, this city.

Mrs. Thomson, was, some — years ago, taken with Cold and La Grippe, and Straining, which affected her kid- neys, and the result was Backache, 'Lumbago, Rheumatism, and Heart | Disease, which caused both her and her friends grave anxiety.

She had suffered some years when she heard of cures effected by Dodd's Kidney Pills, and bought a box, which lshe used with such splendid results that she continued to take them till she was cured. Since then she has used Dodd’s Kidney Pills in her own family and recommended them widely to her friends all of whom have warm words of praise for the standard Cana- dian Kidney remedy, Dodd's Kidney Pills.

Heart Disease, Rheumatism, Lum- bago and Bright's Disease are all Kid- ney Diseases, or are caused by dis- eased Kidneys. You can’t have any of them if you keep your Kidneys sound and your blood pure. Dodd’s Kidney Pills make the Kidneys sound. Sound Kidneys strain all the impuri- tics out of the blood.

A most unusual situation is de- veloping in connection with Can-

ada's naval proposals. The reso- Intion passed at the last session | of the Canadian parliament, on

which the government is now act- | ing, following the imperial con-

ference at London, was a unani- mous one. No member of the House of Commons opposed. it. Cutside of the House the only people who were heard from were those who wished the country to | jump right in and offer a Dread- | naught to the mother country, re- gardless of what it} would cost or whether the imperial govern- | ment wished that kind of aid or The only fault that was

found was on the ground that it did not go far enough in the way of living up to our imperial responsibilities.

Now that that resolution is being carried out and, acting in conjunetion with the imperial authorities, the government is preparing to make a start in the construction of a Canadian navy, we find an ayitation against its action which each week appears to be gaining strength. Some of the opponents of the project take the ground that Canada cannot be trusted to administer a navy and that the only safe way is for our government to pay some millions of dollars per year into the British exchequer to be expended on the imperial navy as the government of Great Britain sees fit. Others argue that the whole project is a mad one, that Canada should pursue the course which she has tp to the present and refuse to be drawn into the vortex of European militarism. ‘The two view points are, of course, diametrically opposed, but strange to say we find those who hold them acting together, In fact, sometimes they are each adopted in turn in the course of a single article, as witness that from the Regina Standard, applauding Mr. Ma- grath’s stand, which was published on this page two weeks ago.

In the interests of clearness, however, it is essential that they should not be confused. ‘I‘hose who do confuse them have a purpose connected with practical politics to serve .

The leader in the anti-militarist. movement, as t is called, is the ‘Toronto Weekly Sun. ‘The Sun S a newspaper devoted mostly to the interests of the farmers of that province. Its guiding spirit has been Mr. Goldwin Smith. ‘The position which it is now taking is a thoroughly consistent one, though the proper time for agitation was last spring, not now. It will not admit that we have any imperial responsibilities. It advises Canadians to go ahead and devote all their energies and re- sources to building up their country along the soundest economic lines.

and more world-wide sentiment alone these lines is created, no nation can afford to be unprepared for possible hostilities. We have had protection in the past, but it has been obtained not at our own expense but at that of the taxpayers of the Old) Land. The Sun doubtless really believes that we could get along without any protection at all. ‘The majority of those who are joining it in the ery that is raising do not do so. In fact, many of them would be among the first to advo- cate certain policies which would be certain to pet us into international complications. = All that they object to is the paying of the shot.

A few examples of the criticism that is being levelled at the navy project may be quoted. ‘he Orangeville (Ont.) Sun, for instance, says:

“In this country just now, the common people are doing a lot of hard thinking about the Canadian navy proposition, and from all sides come reports that the question is not being favorably consid- ered by the taxpayer. Just as soon as the farmer, the mechanic and the working man find out it is their hard earned money that will pay for the navy you may rest assured that they will not support the scheme. Just what good purpose a navy would serve, no one has yet pointed out and we do not believe the people can be convinced that a navy is desirable. Of course, if Canada had a navy it would provide hundreds of nice berths for lazy and loafing sons of government supporters, who would be kept in idleness at the expense of of the country. How would this strike the farmer toiling in the fields on a hot summer day, sweating for all he is worth earning money to be squandered on this naval folly? Wouldn't it be better for the farmer to spend his money in securing better roads, better houses, better implements, and even in taking a little pleasure?"

At a union meeting of Forest Rose and Apple Grove Granges, held at the former’s hall, in Yar- mouth, West Elgin, Ontario, the following reso- lution was moved and carried:

The Huntingdon, (Que.) Gleaner says:

“Mr. Borden's address at Halifax does away with any expectation that he would oppose the creation of a Canadian navy. Conservatives are going to link hands with the followers of Laurier in forcing upon Canada the dreadful curse of mili- tarism. Unless the farmers bestir themselves, and it is out of their earnings the money has to come to build ships and pay sailors, there is no hope of escape. The two political parties are, for once working in accord.”

The Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario delivered an address in which he urged that schoolboys should be taught rifle-shooting. ‘This was the comment of the Oshawa, (Ont.) Vindicator:

“This is inculcating militarism with a vengeance in the place where it will do the most harm. ‘The writer is not unacquainted with the state of mind which leads to such remarks, but had thought

Hlonor,

e1 stccesses, but if our lovalty is to depend upon rifle-shooting for its and cultivation depend upon it our loyalty will be a sham and not the thing the Lieutenant-Governor would lead us

incitement

to helieve.”

As the issues being created have a very im- portant bearing on the future of two parties, it should be stated that the ‘Toronto Sun and the Hluntingdon Gleaner are independent and that the Oshawa Vindicator and the Orangeville Sun are Conservative papers.

These expressions of opinion are blunt enough and if we are not going to flounder along in the dark, each citizen should ask hinféelf what he thinks of them. — If we don't need protection, there is no use bothering about the means by which we shall secure it, receive at the hands of those who are, in some respects, not as well able to pay for it as we are ourselves? As this paper sees it, there is only one answer that a self-respecting nation can make.

Granting that we are prepared to bear our share of the burden, th question arises as to the method that we shall follow in doing so. This brings us to the second line of criticism of the Canadian parliament's action, indicated above. — It has already been considered at length on this page on several occasions. Sifted down, it means that a choice has to be made between retaining control of our own expenditure and delegating it to the im- perial government. We do not see how anyone who has taken the trouble to study the history of our institutions can fail to approve of the stand which the leaders of both parties adopted. If there were scheme of — imperial federation before us, by which we could in such matters as this secure representation in the legislative body which spent our money for imperial purposes, the surrender by our own parliament of ts functions might be justified. But what is now being urged Upon ts in many quarters is that we turn over to the parliament at London, in) which we have no standing and over which we can exert no direct influence, the absolute control of what will amount to a very large share of our yearly taxation. By following this course we would yield a principle which it took many years of bitter strugele to estab- lish, a principle which must be maintained if we are to have on the northern part of the continent such a nation as the average Canadian hopes for. The Saturday News considers itself an imperialist, but not if this term involves a limitation of national aspirations or national power. What we hope to see is a group of strong nations within the Empire, each with full powers of self-government, but acting together for the good of the whole. = No other scheme can be made a source of strength to our- selves or to the British Dominions in general,

some — feasible

All this was thoroughly understood by Sir Wil- frid Laurier and Mr. Borden, when events brought Canada to the parting of the ways last spring. ‘To their lasting credit, their action was in keeping with They declined to make

) test potent political force in | Manitoba, has come out stronply against the policy being pursued, ; AIr. Magrath and Mr. Herron, Conservative members from Southern Alberta, took a similar stand at Medicine Hat last week.

The Wingston Standard referred the other day to Mr. Rorden’s allusion in his) Halifax to Sir John A. Macdonald and his ideas and ideals, and then went on to say that it can alsa speak

speech

of Sir John and his ideas and ideals, and also of the ideas and ideals of the Conservatives — of the City of | Kingston, which cradelled him and which was hon- ored for so long when he was its representative. Voicing what it declares to be the sentiments of the Conservatives of Sir John’s own home, it) says absolutely and without equivocation that ninety out of a hundred of the Conservatives in the city are absolutely and unalterably opposed to the policy of a Cana- dian-built navy, and that in the Conservative County of Frontenac also the proportion of Conser- vatives opposed to a Canadan navy is fully as vreat. “It is only right,” adds the Standard, “that when Mr. Borden refers to Sir John he and the other present leaders of the party should know what the sentiment in respect to a Canadian navy is in Ningston, Sir John’s home city.”

All of this lends color to the despatches emanat- ing from Ottawa that great pressure is being brought to bear upon the Conservative leader to change ground. But he shows every disposition to stand to his guns. On October 29 he stated in an interview that “so far as the Conservative party is concerned, the question of Canada’s participation in the organization and maintenance of Imperial Naval Defence rests today exactly where it. did when the unanimous resolution of parliament was passed on March 29 last” .

In thus refusing to be stampeded, he is acting fully in accord with those opinions both in ‘our own and in the old land, which are most entitled to consideration. Despite what the Kingston Stan- dard says, there is everything to indicate that Sir John A. Macdonald's stand, if he were alive today, would he exactly the same as Mr. Borden's. ‘Ihe man who stood closest to the great Conservative leader, Sir Charles ‘Tupper, an imperialist when there were few to lay claim to the tile in the country, has declared emphatically that “the true interests of the Empire are opposed to this demand — for colonial contributions to the Imperial navy.” Lord Milner, Lord Charles Beresford the editor of the

London ‘Times, and many others whose imperialism is not open to question, but who have approached this question as students of politics, not as prac- tical politicians, have gone on record to the same effect.

Up till the last week, the only sign of revolt has been in the Conservative ranks. But now Hon. H. RK. Einmerson, Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s former Min- ister of Railways comes out with this declaration:

“Tin with Rogers on that issue,” he declared. “I do not approve of the tin-pot navy they are talking about, Why spend millions on a navy before branch lines are secured for the Intercolonial Rail- way. Canada should solve her transportation prob- lems first. She should make a country to protect before building a ship to protect it.”

Mr. Emmerson says he is with Mr. Rogers. But the last part of jis statement would indicate that he is opposed to our undertaking any naval de- burdens at all. Mr. Rogers himself is far from clear in the expression of his ideas, and there is every reason to believe that the confusion is intentional, Those who are advocating a contribution to the imperial exchequer stand at the opposite pole from those who argue against our having a naval policy at all, but they are quite prepared to receive what aid they can from those who hold to the latter opinion in their effort to change the policy that the country has agreed upon.

It has been a boast of mine, a matter of pride, that the life and land compel a man to dip deep jinto the heart of things out here. ] know we love a laugh, but then there is a time to laugh and a time jto cry, a time to speak and a time to keep silence, and Edmonton has the unhappy faculty of doing the vrong thing at the wrong moment. I have noticed this particularly in connection with theatrical —pro- ductions long before now, but never so glaringly as tonight.

Walking to the theatre we had spoken of the inevitable amount of suffering that comes into most pegple’s lives. Sorrow forced upon them by Death and Want, and Suffering, so much of it, so much, one wonders how voluntarily any one can add to the burden. Each day in the West, the hearse trapessing heavily by, points this moral: not a twenty-four hours passes but some tale of heroism, some tragedy brings the lesson home,

| | | \

In such mood we entered the theatre, aware that where Ibsen held the boards, there should be presented for us some of the deep problems of human life. We should learn why and how women sinned, where man fell short. We should not be pleased with the picture that we knew but we would be made to think.

Ordinarily, Polly, mine, as you well know, we are striving to nierely float and to forget. And then the incredible thing hap- I pened.

As the play unfolded, as we saw the doll wife in her own home, a merry, loving young girl, illogical, but appealing, gradually emerging from a life of make be- lieve and inconsequential happi- ness into the fuller, more familiar existence of fact and disillusion- ment. As we saw‘the web, into which her love for her husband had drawn her, gradually weaving its strands of tragedy about this foolish little song-bird, oh then, I tell you, Polly, I held my breath to catch the sequel. But what was this unbelievable thing that was happening around me? A great many of the audience were Jaughing, indulging in cheap wit, as this poor, lonely, loving girl and mother was making her des- perate stand for the honor and happiness of the little family who meant all in all to her. They gig- gled, Polly, over a breaking heart, they snickered foolishly over an utterly wretched and_ tortured husband’s passionate avowal of

ent answer to the riddle. just kept on simpering. | Kept at it while the most tense and dramatic situations devel- joped on the little stage, where a man anda woman were giving the best that was in them, for the benefit of these “rags and bones and hanks of hair,” beneath them, “who never could understand.” Until of a moment the outraged husband, Torvold Helmer, Norvai MacGrégor, provoked beyond en- durante, ripped out at them.

“You fools,” he must have felt ike ¢houting, but he only said: ‘Any\more cheap wit and laugh- e1 from the gallery and the audi- ence and this curtain comes down.”

And this in the Capitaltof Al- berta, a city next door to the University centre, supposedly a place of some culture,

A man near me swore a little “damn” under his breath, and 1 echoed it in my heart.

Now, you may hold what views you please with regard to Ibsen and his plays, the fact remains that any company is entitled to a respectable hearing. Men pound and applaud cheap heroics on the stage, impossible absurdities, and scorch the real players’ hearts with their cruelty.

As if a player were other than a human being, with — feelings, good Heavens, the same, and gen- erally finer than their tormentors.

It is an easy thing to jeer ar actors, to mock a drunkard, to bait poor, foolish folk. It is fit occupation for those with little minds, cheap wits, and degenerate tendencies, But there is nothing smart, the very least bit, nor any- thing witty or bright, or funny in the whole performance.

Those who rtin to this sort of thing only stamp themselves for what they are: Empty-headed, frivolous, irresponsible froth, their course through life leaves as much impression as the bubbles on a glass of beer. Having eyes they see not, ears they hear not, hearts they feel not.

Hortense Neilson, Nora Helmer, came out of her Doll’s House, put aside her doll’s clothing, and set out to solve her woman’s diffi- cult position, but Polly, there are many, yes, hundreds, of people in Edmonton, who will never come out of their doll’s playhouses and face realities ‘Tio them life will always be summed up in a vaudeville — performance— these people “who never will under- stand.”

Much (for I have never had my hands on any other copies of the tories)—of the detail of the books | books I have doubtless forgotten, | remains ever through the memory of the Tittle Women, and _ their adorable Marmice.

Why did the books take such a hold, what was the secret of the success that overtook their author, Louisa, ever lovable, Louisa Al- cott?

My dears, it was this, Louisa was the Jo of the — series, and wrote from the fullness of an actual experience.

3ut brave and cheery as the Jo of the sfory was, the Jo of real life was braver still. Her life story, which has gradually been made public, is a fascinating tale of unconscious self-sacrifice, of plucky grappling with obstacles that seemed insurmountable, and | of patient suffering when success came.

Papa Alcott was an amiable, | mystic philosopher of Concord, but an almost impossibly shiftless and wool-gathering man to live with. Among other things, we find him teaching school in Bos- ton with five pupils, three of them his own daughters. He seems to have had all kinds of crazy no- tions, and enforced a Spartan-like

diet for the entire family. No meat, no sugar, nothing that could pamper the appetite. In ad-

dition to other vagaries he insisted that no use should be made of the products of slaughtered animals, and so barred whale-oil, the only lighting fuel available.

Under this mandate, Mrs. Al- cott rebelled, and was at length permitted a lamp, under which she mended the clothes while her husband = philosophized in the moonlight.

The sensible idea, seems, how- ever, to have struck Mr. Alcott. From their earliest years the chil- dren were encouraged to put all their thoughts in writing. Louisa at a very early age began to have “thinks,” later to take form in her stories, which she transcribed at the time in the shape of a diary, open for inspection always to both parents.

The war, and several foolish investments, ruined the family’s prospects, and then “Jo,” the boy of the family, set out to retrieve their fortunes. Her first ambition was to go on the stage, the emin- ently respectable Boston stage ot Charlotte Cushman and Nathan Warren, and she came dangerous- ly near having her ambition grati-

Tlis Massolette, the latest idevelopment of the sour milk fad, is exactly like a chocolate bonbon —outside. Inside it’s intensely sour, has 10,000,000 friendly germs and two of them a day. Metchnik- off says, will abolish the need of an undertaker until at least 120 years have passed over a person’s life.

The Massolettes cost 2% cents each, or 35 cents a week. This kind of a doctor's bill for a life of 150 years would be only $2,739, a price which Rockefeller and other rich men would call cheap. If what the professor says is true, each modern rival of Methuselah will get 4,000,000 friendly mic- robes for a cent.

Harry Lauder before he left England, for America, had this to say to a newspaper:

“A always mak’ mysel’ one o' ma public. A like tae tak’ them by the hond ower the footlights an’ say: “A’m here tae mak’ ye laugh, an’ ye’ll juist hae tae do

it” It’s the maist deeficult thing in the world tae mak’ a mon laugh. Men are by nature o’ a

sad temperament. Weemun ot: ten hae a lot tae do wi’ that.”

. it is Mr. Lauder’s habit to talk like this, there are some people I know that he couldn’ make laugh in a thousand years And then to go and blame it on the woman? Even old Adam wouldn't have been guilty of such a scurvy trick.

As a sample of the humor with which Harry Lauder is said tc delight his audiences one of his new stories is quoted. “My wife is a verra good woman,’ he says “In fact, she’s a verra, verra good woman. That wife of mine, you know is worth her weight — ir gold.” Then after a moment’: pause: “I wish I had the gold.’ This “subtle sally” is said to be the most successful in Mr. Laud er's repertoire this season.

What must the others be like.

The Liberal leader in British Columbia has his postoffice at Mud Bay, and now the ‘Tories propose to have his name and ad- dress correspond.

Mrs. Pankhurst has landed in New York and was given a recep- tion by the suffragettes there. According to one newspaper, “there were a few scared-looking men present, who kept in the cor- ners and looked very tuncomfort- able, being the husbands of some lof the suffragette leaders.” They lwere not overlooked howver.

Mr. Stockson Bonds, the multi- millionaire, has just stolen an- other railroad. \Vords fail us in any proper attempt to character- ize this excrescence upon our civ- ilization. He is a thier, a scoun- drel, a pirate, and a rapscallion of the deepest dye, and it is doubtful if he would stop at anything short of murder to gain his nefarious ends.

Editorial in same paper, Month Later

We regret to record the death of Mr. Stockson Bonds, the well- known) = mulit-millionaire. No man in this generation has con- tributed so much as he to the development of the country.

He was a good citizen, a devout Christian, a humanitarian of the first water and a model for all young men who are struggling to reach the top of the ladder of success. It is doubtful if the country will be able to survive his demise,’and we have no patience whatsoever with his detractors.—- Ellis O. Jones in Puck.

Great are the resources of mod- ern mechanical science.

“Oh,” the — bartender, “there’s nothing mysterious about that. I were merely filling an order for drinks.” t

“Filling orders for drinks!" re- peated the still mystified strang- er,

“Sure, ‘said the — bartender. hose pieces of lead were my orders. ‘They were cast by lino- type operators and each — order bears the name of the operator who made it. 1 simply sort them out and at the end of the week send them back by the boy who takes the drinks. They are both bill and receipt. I get my money promptly and the operators know that my accounts are straight.”

Poor old Medicine Hat is still getting it. Here is an extract from a" bit of fiction which ap- pears ina Chicago paper:

“It was a cold, snowy day— with weather straight from Medi- cine Hat, but finally one of the men said:

“*Doctor, we will take you for a spin this afternoon and show you what the car can do.’

“The doctors agreed and I lit cut and got my own car. In the meantime Medicine Hat got busy, and by the time of the appoint- ment it was storming worse than ever. So bad was it that the ‘Iron Clad’ never showed up.”

Now watch out for another spasm from the News man.

“What do you think about it, Uncle Bill?” they asked

The English actor, Macready, according to Sir Squire and Lady Bancroft’s recent book, ‘The Ban- crofts’ Recollections of Sixty Years,” was once playing “IHam- let” in the United States.

During rehearsals, he had found fault so severely with the local favor'te who took the part the king, that his majesty deter- mined to revenge himself upon the great travedian at the per- formance by reeling when stabbed by Hamlet, to the centre of the stage, instead of remaining at the back, and falling dead upon the very spot which Macready had reserved for his own end.

The plan was carried out. Mac- ready, on his owt part .roaned and prompted:

“Die farther up the stage, sir! What are you doing here, sir? Get up and die elsewhere, sir!’

To the amazement of the audi- ence the king sat bolt upright on the stage.

“Mr. Macready,’* he said, “you have had your way at rehearsal, but [am king now, and T guess I shall die where I please.”

William Terrace accommodated |

himself to similar conditions with superior grace and humor. In re- hearsing the duel in “The Corsi- can Brothers.” he said to Irv- ing.

But it kept gradually growing worse, till after thirty years of increasing suf- fering the climax came, and he found himself so crippled that at times he could not turn in bed, and for two weeks at a time it was impossible for Ihim to rise from a chair without put- lting his hands on his knees.

The Lieutenant-Governor and Mrs. Bulyea entertained in honor of the visiting delegates of the Daughters of the Empire on Saturday evening, the affair taking the form of a re- ception to which the husbands as well as the wives of the three local chap- ters, and several associated societies, were bidden.

Mrs. Bulyea was looking remark- ably smart in a beautiful Nile green satin gown, with glistening diamante embroideries and touches of gold, and bade everyone welcome in her own charming fashion. Her greeting was seconded by His Honor, always the kindliest of hosts.

The visitors were all wearing very pretty frocks, and holding animated conversations with the sister-daught- ers, and the male element. present, and the evening was passed off in de- cidedly pleasant fashion,

Supper was served comparatively early from a table beautifully ar- ranged with a tall vase of red and base outlined with cowslip — satin streamers. At the four corners were silver filigree and shaded candle-lights, while delicious refresh- ments reposed the length of the board on dainty lace dishes.

The cosy little cottage was looking very cheery and charming as the call- ers trooped in, and soon was filled to over-flowing with new and old friends of the bride and her mother, who as sisted her in receiving.

Mrs. Lines was gowned in a dainty lingerie gown of palest pink with quantities of lace and insertion, and did the honors of her delightful bijou home in charming fashion. Mrs. Rhodes was looking very smart and handsome in an amethyst-shaded gown with rich passementeric and = cream lace garniture with which she wore a smart black velvet turban.

The arrangement was a particularly lovely one of deep red roses on a tall vase oon an exquisite lace centre, smaller vases being disposed at the four corners, holding more of the crimson beauties . The table itself, a very fine mahogany, shone with a mirror-like brilliancy, and — reflected the telling effect. Here Mrs. Hen- wood and Mrs. ‘I’. W. Lines presided, both stunningly frocked, while Miss MacFarlane and Miss Campbell, Mrs. Henwood’s sister, assisted.

Before reluctantly departing from the cheery grate fire and the enjoy- ment of delicious tea and a pleasant gossip, the guests were permitted a peep at the pretty rooms, with their very artistic furnishings. The dining room particularly, came in for a great deal of admiration, being furnished with unusually handsome mahog- any.

His Honor, the Lieutenant Governor occupied the chair, and, besides Mrs. Bulyea. the honorary president of Westward Ho Chapter, the — visiting delegates and the members of the three local chapters, a number © of women interested in the work were present

The little gathering at “Belton Lodge” in the evening was a gehen fully informal affair, where work rather than customary small talk was the order of the day.

Mrs. Richard Scoble is giving a “tea” this Friday afternoon.

At the first committee mecting of the Edmonton Amateur Dramatic club which was held at the residence | of Mre Saunders on Monday even- ing, it was decided that the society | should make its first bow to. the| public in “Twelfth | Night.” and a modern society drama, | to be decided on next week, both of which will probably be put on some | time in January It is the aim of the | club to give four plays a year in aid | of various charities, and next season | te vo after the Governor-General's trophy. at the competition at Oi

The Unique Gift is most appreciated

More unusual than cut glass or silver is the gift of Karnak Brass. It will appeal to every lover of art in metal.

Karnak Brass was inspired by the Temple of Karnak on the

banks of the Nile. Built by Seti 1st over fifteen cen- turies ago, its ruins still stand and gave to the designer the idea of Karnak Brass. It is truly Egyptian in form, finished in an at- tractive combina- tion of Antique

Brassand Nile Green.

Among last week's hostesses ; the tea hour was Mrs. Fawcett, whose | pleasant home on Eighth street was i quite crowded between four and. six, | | many of the guests coming early and i lingering late, appreciating the cosy J surroundings after a walk through i the damp dull, forbidding weather | out-of-doors.

| The hostess received wearing al lhandsome gown of white silk, with| lblack hair stripes, bunches of violets | appearing at intervals on the lines. | Both skirt and bodice were piped with pink satin, while some lovely Rose Point lace had the flower centres ac- centuated with pink petals veiled with black chiffon.

In the tea room Mrs. James Hen- derson presided at the coffee urn, Mrs. Mercer poured the tea, and Mrs. Harry Jackson served the ices. Mrs. Ritchie, Mrg. Cleal, Miss Grindley, Miss Gretna Mercer and Miss Dun- lop assisting. The table was a most effective color arrangement of pink the centre-piece being of pink — il- lusion over pink satin scattered with maiden-hair fern from the centre of which rose a tall cut-glass vase of exquisite pink carnations and fern. Ropes of smilax radiated from this to the four corners of the table where silver and rose shaded — candlesticks completed the pretty picture.

Mrs. Fawcett is keeping her for- mer days, the first and third Wednes- | days.

Mr. and Mrs. and Miss Jean Per- kins have returned from an extended lvisit to Prince Edward Island.

Mrs. Alton Magoon was the hostess | of a pretty tea on Wednesday last lgiven in honor of her guest, Mrs. i Adams, of Seattle, when the house lwas most artistically arranged with iyellow ‘mums, and flowering plants, lover which softly shaded lights sent i pleasantly hospitable glow.

Mrs. Magoon was richly gowned in champagne silk with touches of rose velvet, while the guest of honor care a sinart gown of white serge, | much soutached, and with folds of white satin introduced. Mrs) Har- greaves also assisted in receiving, | while Mrs. Hector Cowan poured the tea and Mrs. Holly Ross served the ices. A number of the younger set made a bevy of attractive assistants.

knowing the course, the slasher | asked his partner for the line of the hole, and was told to play on to Dr. S—’s house, which was} perched on the sky-line. The Slasher let out, and his ball was kied to an enormous height. “You mistook me,” said the quiet one, “I mean his earthly, not his heav- enly habitation.”

Considerable interest is being evinced in “An Act Respecting Cities,” which is the name of a bill to be introduced into the pro- vincial legislature at the coming session . The draft of this bill is being discussed, and is causing a good deal of comment in Calgary. The question some will be asking is whether it is a step in advance or a retrograde movement. The labor men, at the T'rades and La- bor Council, passed a resolution that they would only — support municipal candidates who will pledge themselves to support a commission elected by the peo- ple.

In contradistinetion to this the new bill proposes that a city, if the ratepayers so desire, may be divided up into wards with not more than six aldermen to each ward, but the city council shall not have more than twenty-four and not less than six aldermanic In case the ald- ermen are elected by the city at large and for a term of two years half of the board retire annually, unless some other arrangement is made.

representatives.

‘This would seem only to be in- tensifying the plan already in vogue in contradistinction to sim- plifying the same as seems to be the wish of a good part of the community; which may be ex- pressed in the words of the New York Evening Post’s Des Moines correspondent, when explaining the procedure in that city which has made such a radical departure in its city government:

“The responsibility of admin- istering the public affairs of the city is placed upon a small gov- erning board of five men elected at large, without regard to wards, sectional lines or party politics. To this governing board is given large and important powers, in- cluding authority to pass ordin- ances to determine duties of pub- lic employees, to create or discon- tinue offices, remove subordinates and transfer employees from one office to another; in fact, they have all the authority, powers and duties formerly held by the vari- ous boards, committees and of- ficials of the old system. To se- cure simplicity the work of the city has been divided into five de- partments, and to each of these departments is to be assigned that member of the board best suited for the place, and he is made responsible for all matters within his jurisdiction. Thus is secured one of the principal fea- tures of the plan—centralization of power with a definite respon- sibility.”

Under our present system a councilman’s powers are, when in committee, only advisory. Then other machinery is placed in motion and work commenced, Why have this multiplicity of of- ficials when so many less can do the work and do it more quickly with responsibility fixed for the acts committed?

If we had our full quantum of aldermen, i.e. 24 allowed by the new act, at $150 a year each, it would cost us $3,600 in salaries for aldermen who appear super- flous under the Des Moines plan, which, so far, seems to be a con- spicuous success. At any rate it turns out a surplus instead of a deficit.

Another retrograde movement in this proposed bill is denying to married women the right to vote. Why should a married woman with property, who may be at log- eerheads or separated from her husband, he obliged to give that man her vote in respect to her own property?

As we have not vet arrived in

this country at any very definite decision, of which plan of city or town government we prefer, it might be as well before enacting any more laws in regard to municipal aflairs. At any rate, judging by recent developments, there is not much to be said for returning to a complicated sys- tem of ward politics and large bodies of aldermen, with all the paraphernalia of the old regime, for the latter does not appear to be a systemadof-cfirstg

be much of a solution for present troubles.

The Salvation Army chose Thanksgiving Day for the laying of the corner stone of their new citadel, which is to ne of stone and replaces the old — building. Quite a crowd gathered early in the afternoon in front of the bnild- ing on First street east, which is just north of the post oflice. The exercises commenced with selec- tions by the band and prayer by the Rev. Mr. Kerby, and an ad- dress by Brigadier Burditt, who was proud to announce that a dis- tinguished party of ladies and gentlemen was present, and that some of them had not only aided them by their presence and in- fluence but had also contributed in a material way. Mr. J .W. Hoople was the first speaker in- troduced and he briefly addressed the meeting. Then Mr. J. P. Mc- Donald gave a most eloquent talk upon the aims , objects and good deeds performed by the Salvation Army, and solicited in behalf of the Army the active support of all right thinking people. Mr. McDonald’s address should have a most beneficial effect upon the listeners, for he paid a great and well deserved tribute to a much misunderstood band of workers for good and opposers of evil.

Mayor Jamieson was the next speaker who was in favor of as- sisting anything that was in the nature of good, i.e.. of any relig- ious organisation that had for its aim, as the Salvation Army, the aim to uplift from the bottom those most in need of care and attention.

Brigadier Burditt then intro- duced the Hon. W. H. Cushing, who, he stated, had always been an active supporter of the Salva- tion Army. Mr. Cushing made a happy speeech and complimented the Army upon its work, and gave many valuable statistics of the size and growth of the Army, of the size to which it had attained and the wonderful way that it was organized all over the world. Yet this, we might say, emanated from the brain of one man, Gen. Wm. Booth. Mr. Cushing hoped that the people of Calgary would help the Salvation Army liberally to erect their new build- ing and he hoped that when the building was completed there would be no debt upon this com- pleted work.

Brigadier Burditt then gave a few details in regard to the finan- cial part of the undertaking. The cost of th enew building is to be $18,000 and the Army is forttunate enough to be the owners already of the ground. Commissioner

Combs, of Toronto, has promised $4,000, provided the rest of the money is raised here, Already $7,000 has been promised and he has every confidence that — the other $7,000 will be forthcoming. The Brigadier stated that it was usual to ask some one i nauthor- ity, or with a handle to his name, to lay a corner stone, but, upon this occasion, it had been decided to ask one of their own people, viz, Chas. Jackson, who had al- ways been a consistent worker in and upholder of the Salvation Army. Mr. Jackson had already offered $1,000 to the fund, and, in being asked for more, had practi- cally promised another $500, and it was not sure but what they might ask him for another $500.

Mr. Chas. Jackson then laid the corner stone after a tin box had been placed beneath it enclosing photos and names of those pres- ent, and those who had contribut- ed. The ceremonies concluded by the presentation to Mr. Jack son of a silver trowel in com. ricmoration of the event. After singing “Praise God from whom all Blessings Flow,” the meet- ing dispersed.

This certainly was a memorable occasion, and marks in a most cecided manner the progress of our times, viz: that a society, which in the past, was looked upon with doubt and som scorn is acknowledged by our most }iominent men to be nothing but an active agent for good, the most practical and workable associa- tion that delves into the dregs of the cup of life and lifts those cut of the sloug hof despond that are in most need. For is it not mostly those who have suffered much that understand best the sufferings of others and _ their need of help?. ‘This could not help but be a proud day for the Salvation Army an dthose who took part in the laying of their

building after eight years of suc- cessful work in the old one. ‘The new building is needed for the better accommodation of the Army and for the increased work they are obliged to undertake.

“The Soul’s Awakening.”

The new premium picture given to all subscribers to the Family Herald and Weckly Star, of Mont- real, is certainly a beauty.

Never in the history of newspa- pers has there been such enthusi- asm over a premium as ‘The Soul's Awakening” has created during the past two weeks. Al- most every newspaper in Canada has published most — flattering tributes to The Family Herald's enterprise. Clergymen of all de- nominations have written thank- ing the Publishers for giving the people of Canada an opportunity to possess such a picture. mail brings scores of letters from parents, fathers and mothers, ex- pressing their sincere gratitude for furnishing the home with such an elevating influence. School Inspectors have written suggest- ing that every school room in Canada should have a. copy,, of “The Soul's Awakening,” believ- ing that it will have a powerful though silent, influence on the minds of the children The Fam- ily Herald and Weekly Star alone is big value at one dollar, but with this picture as a premium it looks like giving away money. It is said the supply is limited and there is a big rush of subscrip- tions. No one should miss it.

Paap, SED

From a “cold-blooded business view- point” it’s not worth while to cut prices below the “usual” and then fail to so advertise the fact that every- body is told about it.

Final Game for the Bellanger Cup.

On Saturday, October goth, the Md- monton Esquimos journeyed to Cal- gary to play their return game. It was an entirely different team to the

hone that played here on Thanksgiving

Day. For various reasons, Aldons,

The game was played at Mettawa Park before a crowd of almost two thousand spectators. The day, which had threatened rain, turned out very fine and the wind made ideal football) weather.

From the very kick-off it was seen that the game would be much evener than the previous one. From a serim- mage about centre field Wilson made a splendid run, and was only stopped by the opposing full-back. Esquimos lost the ball by illegal scrimming and a long kick and a muff by the Edmon- ton full back quickly transferred the

absence of

play to the visitors’ five yard line. It was then that the ineident which decided the game took place. Iis-

quimos were preparing to scrimmage the ball when Referee Diese, with- out warning, blew his whistle, and gave the ball to the Tigers. there had been too much delay in putting the ball in) play. As = Cal- gary quickly went over for a touch- down, it may be imagined the visi- terrible disturbance. But the referee was as adamant and not even the remarks of the Calgary players would make him change his decision, In the second quarter, Cal- gary scored two more tries on beauti- ful runs by Sawers, who was the bright particular star of the game With the score 15—o it began to look like a walk-over, but a run of 80 vards by Walker Taylor for a touchdown changed the aspect of the Dykes handily converted the try mak-
