He admitted that it was\nilmost' hopeless to look for an acceptable award from any boundary\ncommission, but the boundary commission's work had been providential,\nbecause without it the present agreement could not have been reached.\nIt in England's Interest!\nThe premier justified the government's yielding Article V. which made\nthe Free State responsible for part\npayment of the British national debt,\non the ground thnt lt was to England's Interest to have a prosperous\nIreland to buy her manufactures and\nto prevont. impoverished Irish emigrants fr\u00bbm swelling the lists of\nEngland's unemployed.\nI'nder Article V, England had\nclaimed an annuity of \u00a36,000.000 for\n60 years. He was convinced, however, that It would have heen out of\nhuman possibility to arrive at an\nacceptable agreement on this point.\nThe compensation for material damage which the Free State promised\nto pay under the prevent agreement\nwould probably cost the Free Ftate\n\u00a3 r.,000.000 plus Interest.

The offender against the criminal law\nof a state has friends in every\nconstitution of the remaining 47.\nThus, to assure himself a\nlong respite, a criminal needs\nonly to get over the first state\nboundary, and he is safe for\nquite a period, perhaps forever.\nA New York jurist recently\ncalculated that a criminal's\nchance in New York state for\nevading punishment were 43\nto one. The proportion probably holds in the majority of\nthe states.\t\nThe ThauTFarce\nAlmost as absurd as a criminal's alleged vested right to\nserve a sentence is the admitted\nvested right of an individual\nvtate to hold a criminal while\nhe serves some minor sentence,\nagainst the claims of another\nstate that may want him for\ncapital punishment.\nThat is exactly what saved\nthe Nelson murderer, Thompson, the Bluebeard of many\naliases, who was married in\nNelson early in the war, the\ndisappearance of whose wives,\nwhen accident brought his record under scrutiny, was found\nto constitute a long and unbroken series.\nThompson, a commercial traveller, is now serving a life sentence in California, for the murder of one of his score or so\nof successive wives.\nYet several disappeared on\nCanadian soil, two or three of\nthem, including a Rossland girl,\nin this province.\nAnd the state of Washington\ncharged him with the murder\nof one in Spokane, a lake giving\nup the body.\nCalifornia set up its right\nairainst that of Washington.\nI**# Sunset state doesn't allow\ncapital sentences*, the Evergreen state does.\nHad California allowed Washington to extradite this in-\nfatious wretch, there would now\nhave been one less convicted\nmurderer alive in the world.\nForty-eight Commonwealths\nHave Own Criminal Laws\nNew York wanted Harry\nThaw, the millionaire degenerate who killed Stanford\nWhite, and who was let off\nwith committal to Matteawan\nasylum, but Pennsylvania, or\nsome other adjacent state,\nwouldn't give him up.\nIncidentally, in that rip-roaring farce of chasing Thaw,\nCanada figured for a few days.\nThaw got into Canada, and\ncouldn't understand why he\nwas not instantly given uninterrupted passage to Europe,\nhis intended destination.\nWhen he was detained, under\nthe Immigration act, as an undesirable, his counsel procured\nCanadian lawyers in Montreal\nwho, a la American procedure,\nactually in court attacked the\nconstitutionaRty of the Canadian immigration law, at the\nbehest of and for the money of\nan American moron.\nThen Hon. C. J. Doherty,\nminister of justice, pushed thia\nsemi-lunatic across the border,\ninto the land he came from,\nwhile a writ from a Montreal\njudge was on its way to his\noffice.\nThe lawyers who had had the\ncolossal nerve to move to declare the immigration law unconstitutional found they had\nnot popularized themselves, and\ntheir holler against the minister of justice brought the advice from the press that they\nlhad better keep still for their\nown fakes.\nCoaticook, Que., which had\ngiven Thaw such a welcome,\nand persecuted William Travers\nJerome, the New \\ork district\nattorney sent to seek his extradition, was immortalized in\nthese lines by a columnist:\n\"Ciiatli*oiik.

There in cathedral grandeur\nIt raises its lofty spires 250 feet and\nmore. Its name, sempervlrens\u2014ever\nliving\u2014arouses the Imagination, for it\nis from 2000 to 2000 years old, only a\nthousand years younger than Its cousin, the S'quoia Gigantea of the Sierra Nevada mountains.\nMagnlficient timber, resisting moisture and decay for centuries though\nfallen. It was cut and shipped throughout the United States and abroad in\nsuch quantities as to,endanger Its exhaustion. Aroused, ' The Save-the-\nRedwood-league, composed of such\nnature lovers as Franklin K. Lane,\nDr. John C. Men-lam, William Kent\nand others, actuated by love of\n| beauty, In recent years has raised\nmoney to buy some groves and induce the state of California and\nvarious organisations to preserve\nothers,\n! Lumberman Help\ni Today. 15,51,6 acres have been freed\nfrom the woodsman's menacing axe.\n1 In addition, the league has Initiated a\nj p-ogram for a national redwood park\nj of 20.000 acres of trees that were a\ni half-thousand years old when the star\n; appeared over Bethlehem.\nThe lumbermen have sympathised\n' with the rplrlt of conservation; and\n; moved greatly by considerations of\nfinancial advantage, began reforestation so extensive as to promise com-\nj hlete replacement of trees cut down.\nj Me-ehantable redwood timber in the\n\u25a0 forests, estimated at 50 billion feet\nboard measure, will be reproduced by\nj planting at the rate of 550 million\nfeet board measure yearly, assuming\nJ the present rate of. cutting and reproducing. Lumbermen figure that\nthis second growth of redwood will be\n| r-pndy for cutting In 100 years at\nthe same time that the virgin timber\nh.T* dinappenrpd.\nThe tree itself Is a great factor in\nIts perpetuation, for sprouts spring\nfrom its stumps, so- profusely and\npersistently that M. B. Pratt, state\nforester, says:\n\"If the planting by the lumber companies is continued on the present\nscale. I consider that adequate means\nWill have been taken to reforest the\ncut-over lands, particularly since these\nlands ore reforesting more or less by\nthemselves by means of stump\nSprouts.\"\nThe redwood belongs to the pine\nfamily or con* bea-ing group. In the\nfall of the year, the cones are gathered from the ground and taken to\nthe nurseries of the lumber companies at Scotle. fort Bragg and\nCaspar. Cal. Seeds removed from the\ncones become trees. of six or seven\ninches In one or two .years. Trees\nthus grown in 1325 numbered S.250,000.\nTn the winter of two years ago a\nFtart of replanting was made when\nSOO ames were reforested. Last winter\ngram for the present winter em-\n300 acres- were planted, and* the pro-\n1 traces 6000 acres. When the total\nreaches 10.000 acres yearly, this with\nnatural reproduction, it Is hoped, will\npreserve tha redwood for posterity.\nWhat the Press Is Saying\nIt may be asked how thia\nextraordinary clash of authority can come about in the largest republic in the world.\nExcept for the 13 original\nstates, who had self-endowed\nrights when they organized the\nUnited States of America, the\nseveral states have received\ntheir constitutions from the\nfederal authority.\na. . \u2014\u2022 .\u2014\u00ae\nQutok Lunch ti ta Varis\nFrance Is becoming shlft|t*ss tn tin-\nmatter of fo\u00abnl.

Almost everything that can happen\nln a hockey game occurred between\nthe opening whistle and the closing bell, but the Bruins earned their\nvictory by a stubborn defence which\ntied up the Maroon attack, and by\nthe efforts of two earnest defence\nImen, Stuart and Hltchman, who led\n, almost every attack. Herberts re-\n1 reived credit for two Boston goals\nand Cooper for the thrrd, but the\ndefence men deserved much of the\ncredit.\nIn a rugged game with many penalties, Red Stuart of Boston, was\nthe leader with five visits to the\nbench. The return to the game of\nStuart and Geran strengthened the\nBruins greatly, bat in the Injury\nto Dr. Stewart, their goalie, In the\nsecond period, Boston sustained a\nheavy loss.

Mr. Heydler pointed out that\nthi* total waa 246 doten more than\nwere used the season before.\n\"We reoommend,\" Mr. Heydler explained, \"that the rosin be used under the direction of the umpire. It\nwill make for better games and cut\ndown the rapidly mounting total\nof balls we ar* being required to\nuse.

But\nfor some unknown reason Coach Wile*\nkept the young flash on the bench.\nAs the game progressed, Marek implored Wilce to put him in the game,\nbut to no avail, and Elmer decorated\none end of the bench all afternoon.\nWhen practice was resumed on Monday, the coach sent Marek to his regular position during scrimmage, but\nnoticed that he ran with a decided\nlimp.\n\"Hey, what's the matter, Marek?\"\nhe yelled. \"Got a charley horse,\"\nanswered Elmer. \"How ln the world\ndid you ever get a charley horse?\"\ncried the coach. \"Fell off the bench\nduring Saturday's game,\" was the\nstartling and Illuminating reply.\nREGINA PATS\nOFF TO TRY AT\nGRIDIRON CUP\nWill Meet Montreal in Championship Go Saturday;\nHave Star Players\nREOINA.
