Wilson - Optician ptttot The Leading Newspaper in the Kootenays The "Prospector" $2.00 Per Year CRANBROOK, B. 0. SATURDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 7, 1914. Dairying a Thriving Indus- try of B.C. By M. ntve, Chief Hairy Instructor. It is stated of many portions of HrlMsli Columbia lhal tbey are nd- mirnbly suited to tbo business ot tlu iry fa rmiiig, uud enquiring Into Ihelr fitness we llml: 1. Lntid capable of growing immense quantities of bulky and nutritious fodders. 2. (Mimute, iniiinty tempornto, of" filing a good growing season, free from extremes whlcb Interfere wltb production In dairy animals, permit ting an'OUt-of-door lite and thereby making for honltli nnd ellicletiey. 2. Water pure and in abundance. Showing tlmt Hie main requisites fur this enterprise are duly present. Besides thc Coast and Island districts, which are considered the chief dairy sections of thc Province, other districts with more varied temperatures nre demonstrating their Illness for thr? keeping of dn'ry cattle. Without reference to particular localities, it mny be snid tlmt any district that ean successfully raise, with or without Irrigation, one or more crops such as alfulln, clover, corn or roots, can safely engage In dairy Harming. Why, then, is this province itself not producing a grcitcr proportion of the butter nnd milk it consumes? Up to the year 1910 a steady and appreciable increase in milk produced and butter manufactured has been recorded. A surplus existing over the milk and cream requirements of thc cities and towns creameries had been established nnd the industry was rapidly being blUlt up. The prodlCtlon of pork as an adjunct to our dairy fanning was also making good progress. About this time a tremendous increase in population, making itself felt in all tbe cities and towns, soon necessitated larger supplies, which were diverted from the factories, closing several1 and turning others into mere collecting aud shipping sta- t ons of fresh milk and cream. In addition, imports of the^e were found necessary. The hog industry also suffered from the lack of factory by-products. Ih certain districts the prices obtainable for hay induced ill-advised farmers to pnrt with their cattle and devote their energies to buy raising, thereby suspending the operations of the local creamery. In order to he rid of them quickly mnny of these cattle were butchered. Further, for subdivision purposes, thousands of acres of fertile and long-established dairy farm land were secured by real estate men nnd 1 ist to tbe dairy industry. The cattle, In mnny enses, ware cnrelessly nnd hastily disposed of to the local butcher, tbeir value appearing snail in comparison with the prices'obtained for tbe land. Thus for 1912 a shrinkage in dairy production resulted with increased imports of milk (fresh and condensed) ami butter. This ct ndltion obtained also during •1918.,During .those years, however, efforts were mnde (through private enterprise and with tbe nssistaiiee of tbe Department ol Agriculture) to build up tbe dairy stoek ,of the country, with tbe result that today mnny young animals nre beginning to add to tbe production of tbe Province, Tbe local supplies of fresh milk and cream nre more udi'juute, Importations of those tor 1914 bein«; greatly reduced, nnd this demand becoming sutislled, more bnt. ter will be matiiifnclureil nnd with available by-products more swine will he led. We may confidently expect the beginning of a swift return to our former production and iu future a great development, owing tn the increase in numbers and productive quality Of our herds. Of pure-bred dairy cattle tbe Province possesses many herds ot excellent quality, and severul individuals with national fame ns producers, The live stock branch of thc IV pnrtment of Agriculture, besides the Veterinarians who carry on the department's campaign against bovine tuVrculosis, main tains for dairy work two dairy instructors and inspectors. (.eneral educational work, B. 0. Dairymen's Association, Cow-Testing or Milk Record Associat'ons, inspection of creameries and instruction of creamery patrons, co-operation with the various municipal officials in control |of milk supplies are among the matters which their duties comprise. For the establishment of creameries and kindred institutions the Department of Agriculture gives direct financial assistance. To promote the keeping of profitably productive dairy animals only, nnd the elimination of low-yielding ones, Cow-Testing or Mi?; Record Associations are given generoiiB aid by the depnrtment. With good land, good cows and intelligent superintendence dairy (arming in British Columbia offerB, even with small beginnings, a pleasant and remunerative occupation. If combined, as it should be, with a vegetable garden and the keeping of poultry and(hogs, it offers also, the year around, a table anyone might well ;tnvy.—The Wei»i, Victoria. Anniversary Services at Baptist Church Last Lord'B Day the Baptist church of this city celebrated a very successful 13th anniversary of the opening of the cause here. Rev. Doctor Spencer was tbe preacher for the day and the congregations were delighted with his forceful and eloquent presentation of subjects most vital to human happiness. "The Building of a Church" was the morning theme aud tbe Doctor outlined tbe fundamental principles of building to he the direct intervention and direction and effort of the Holy Spirit working in the human heart. All other agencies iu building at most are subsidiary and by themselves null and void of lasting effect. In tbe evening "The Greatest Thing in tbe World" was declared to be tbe love of Clod in Christ Jesus. The aptitude of thc genial Doctor's methods in preaching reached a climax of illustration hy Incident, metaphor und story in this sublime theme. On Tuesday evening an old fashioned tea-meeting was provided by the ladies of the church and rongregn- t'on. A company filling the house to Its capacity greeted the occasion. A program of readings, vocal and Inst nmientnl selections was rendered. A very successful anniversary was voted by all. im M m\ m ■■■! I- [xl & [■) M W !■ ■!

Tho,Matheson's ball was puck ed like herring In a box, all available space was taken ,up. There were many who found it. Impossible to enter 'by the front wuy, consequently tbey were compelled to go round to the back door. There was a nio3t uncomfortable feeling of subdued excitement that only | needed a spark to set off the explosion. During the day the rumor was started that the militia waa to he called upon to attend, also thnt special policemen had been sworn in. These unseemly rumors only added to the interest of the meeting, nnd vague', hinted at the possibilities tbat would arfso. Promptly at 8 o'clock the meeting was called to order by the president, Mr. A. J. Belmont. The secretary was asked i to read the minutes of thc last general meeting. At once Mr. P. DeVere Hunt rose to his feet with a point of order but was himself ruled Aut. The minutes were read and adopted. The financial statement of the association! was then presented nnd to the members for consideration. They were presented to the meeting in such excellent shape thut Mr, J. D. McBride moved nnd our member, T. Caven seconded, a vote of thai*;b Ior the trouble the treasurer must have been put to to have them in such concise form. The balance of cash on hand was a most encouraging feature and one that drew the applause of the large audience. Tin- president then preBOuted his report for the term of office and reported progress. Owing to the exceptionally large number in attendance Mr. Oaven moved nud seconded by Mr. A. 10. Watts that the usual procedure of following the bylaws be waived so that everyone in the hall could vote on any question, 'lhis motion arose out'.of the ipiestion put to the chairman in the former part of the meeting. The motion carried unanimously. Before proceeding to the election of ofllcers the chairman announced that Messrs. McBride, Hunt, Manning and Macdonald be scrutineers for the levelling. Nominations were then called for president and Mr. W. B. MacParlune and Mr. Geo, F, Btevensan's names were presented for the position. After a very close contest the ballots gave out-the lollowing figures: W. B. McFarlane 192, Stevenson 164, and there were 9 spoint ballots, making a total c'f 365 voteBjcast. Mr. ,Stevenoon was the first to congratulate Mr. MacFarlane on his sue cess and added, "I wish to congratu- gratulate Mr, McFarlane on his success and I trust that every Conservative in this room will support not only but for the executive that will shortly be elected to work with him." Mr. MacFarlane upon receiving the chair from the retiring president said in a short address to the audience, "I wish to than't you (or the honor you have done me in electing me to ibis position. 1 wish to thank those gentlemen who brought Mr. Stevens out at the llth hour an It saved ■uy scalp.

When the Volunteers Return from War Distribution of Seed Grain & Potatoes By instructions of the Hon, Minister of Agriculture a distribution of superior sotts of grain and potatoes will be made during the coming winter and spring to Canadian farmers. The samples for general distribution will consist of spring wheat (about 5 lbs.) white oats (about 4 lbs.), barley (alout 5 lbs.), and field peas (about 5 lbs.). These will be sent out from Ottawa. A distribution of potatoes in 3 lb. samples will be carried on from », veral of the experimental farms, tbe Central Farm at Ottawa supplying only the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, All samples will be sent free by mail. Applicants must give particulars in regard to the soil on their farms and some account of their experiences with such kinds ol grain (or potatoes) as they have grown, so that a promising sort for their conditions may he selected. Each application must be separate and must be Signed hy the applicant. Only one sample of grain nnd one sample of potatoes can he sent to each farm. If both samples are asked for In tbe snme letter only one will bc sent. Applications < n any kind of printed form cannot he accepted. As tbe supply of seed Is limited, farmers nre advised to upply early; but tbo applications will not ncces- snrlly he filled tn the exact order In which they are recolved. Preference wlll always be given to the most thoughtful and explicit requests. Applications recolved after the end of Jnnunry will probably be too late. All applications for grain (and applications from the provinces of Ontario and Quebec for potatoes) should he addressed to the Dominion Cereallst, Central Kperimental Farm, Ottawa. Such applications require no postage. If otherwise addressed delay and disappointment may occur. Applications, for potatoes, from farmers In any other province should be addressed (postage paid) to the Superintendent of the nearest Branch Experimental Fnrm in that province. By A. E. Watts. After devastating wars in the past have terminated and when the maimed heroes return they have found their places filled and no,provision mnde for their support except in isolated cases when a small pension was provided. Canada is specially adapted and could easily be equipped with the wherewithal to not only take care of the Empire's heroes, bitf to make them useful productive members ot society. The vast areas of good land could be utilized by a little governmental financial assistance, which would be better tban any syHtein ol pensions. Free land subject to no taxes might be given with cash to buy improved stock and implements, tbe recipients to pay a low rate of interest on the advances made. If legislation with that end in view were enacted thn liberality of Canada would redound to the credit of the Dominion throughout thc Empire, the boys would go to the front with better heart feeling that their efforts will receive more than cheers and admiration but the solid comfort and the means of providing a livelihood with independence and honor. It is the duty of all patriots not only to remember those who offer to sncrlfice their lives in the defense of honor and justice and the liberty you enjoy but to get busy and let your opinions be expressed publicly so thut those lo authority will know that legislation along the lines indicated will meet with the approval of the populace. Any suggestions bearing on thc above subject will he highly appreciated and reproduced by the editor Of the Prospector. Letter from Front Thf following letter bus been received from the battle lino by Qua™ er master Sergt. Marchant from his friend, Quarter -master Sergt. W. M.

Dear Allan: Your Interesting letter reached mo last night ami was pleased to read of your patriotic work In helping to lolsc your new regiment. If you should come out here wltb it I shall be delighted to see you. Our regiment., the Uth Hussars, has been In the thick' of neailj all the lighting, hut has fortunately not had heavy casualties. Of course, I have been with the transport all the time, and therefore have not Boon much exCltOmcnt. In tbo retirement from Mons, however, the Germans .helled and sucked every village find town we bad occupied immediately wc had left it; on another occasion the wagons were under htavy shell fire while halting on the road, the exact range of which the enemy had got. They did not bit us, however, but killed three and wounded one of our fellows in the regiment which happened to he halted nearby. During the great battle of the Aisnes we were quartered iu tt hill- side village which looked out Upon the ridges Lining the other side of the river and we there saw a good deal of artillery tire of both sides. While we were In this place the enemy one day shelled the next village situated in n hollow close hy and killed and wounded several of the Ninth Lancers whose transports were tbere. Two days later we left our abode and hnd only just reached the next village, hack one mile distant, when the previous place was shelled," Extracts from the remainder of the letter read "I came across tbe 1st Rifle Brigade tbe other day and enquired for Ernie Gibbs, and was told he had bcen wounded in the leg but not serious however." After referring to several personal matters he closes his letter by asking to be remembered to the lads und Bays that at a later dute be will send In more news of what is happening at the front.

I Tt isaBtrange (act, and somewhat of an anomaly, that in our Province, with its matchless climate, rich virgin soils, and go »d and rapidly ex tending markets, agriculture haB nol progressed to the extern lo which it should bnve done. (Un- naturally asks the reason. Thore are various reasons, hut one stands out predom Inantly as the main fnalor, British Oolumbla has just passed through an oro ol unexampled prosperity nud Inflated values. Men have consequently flocked to our cities to engage in the fascinating, though dangerous game, of real estate speculation. Farmers, finding their lands rapidly increasing in value, have become infected with the speculative spirit and sold the old farms, which used to help to feed our urban populations, to the real estate speculator, who, in turn, has subdivided them and put them on the market in small BUb-dlvisions. These have been acquired by people, not with the idea of developing them along intensive lines of farming, but rather with the idea of selling them In their turn to others, and making a profit therefrom. Thus, ol* food supply for the cities has been materially reduced, and we have had to Import produce which can he raised to the best advantage on the lands contiguous to our cities. It is a matter for congratulation, however, that this state of affairs is now coming to an end, and we may look forward with confidence to agricultural hinds finding their normal value, and consequently n rapid increase in agricultural production. Let us consider what opportunities our Province poBsesseB for the live, energetic mnn who wishes to make his living out of the soil. We may take it for granted that the four essentials to successful farming are present to a marked degree in this Proplnce, viz., climate, soil, transpor tation, and markets. With these four essentials, farming must pay. What, then, are the difficulties, and how can theae be overcome? The principal difficulty undoubtedly Is tbe land-clearing problem. By far tbe greater part of Hrltith Columbia is covered with a growth o timber, varying in density, ynd tbis land bas naturally to he cleared before it Is ava I ihle for agricultural production. Whilst tbe climatic and boil conditions nre all thit could be desired, and whilst u greater variety nnd greater weight per acre of crops •'an Iw grown in this Province than in uny other part of tbe Dominion ol Canada, we must realize tbnt the cost. of clearing our lands and making them ready for production is a factor with which we must reckon. By the adoption of proper methods in land-Clearing, the cost of doing the work can be materially reduced, and the cost of this work will therefore altogether depend on the intelligence of tbe man who undertakes it. The average costtof land cleas:nir on Vancouver Island may he estimated at from 5100 to $150 per acre. Cood agricultural land, cleared, on Vnncoiiv- "i Island, with transportation facilities, is worth for general mixed faming purposes 52M) per acre for tbe average fanner, and the expert agriculturist could afford to pay considerably more and make gOOd Interest on bis Investment. Tbis price would •inly npply to lands within comparatively easy access to our Coast cities. It bas been proved conclusively lhat the iclanttfle, up-to-date farmer -he who understands the underlying principles of agriculture and their proper application -can make a good | living out of farming In our Province, It (must be born in mind, b,,w over, that farming is like any other trade or profession, and no one can hope to obtain tb*' highest results unless he understands the game. To,i many .people have I u coming out to our Provlnre with the fulla clous Idea that any fool eau farm. Not no. Farming is becoming more bus commenced In earnest. Thv development of this Province bas been undertaken on the wrong line. Urban development should follow, not pre* ci de, agricultural development, as l-as in .mi the case generally through uut the West. Wbat we have no* to consider ih, bow CftU W0 best foSter nnd encotrugo the "back to the lund " movement? our soils only want a fair opportunity, and they , will yield abundantly. Having produced the best crops, tin1 next question Is the successful marketing, and that Is undoubtedly where we fall down, and the chief reason why agriculture has not progressed as rapidly ns it Bhould. There is no disguising the fact that the farmer is not getting the price for his produce to which he iB Justly entitled, and that the const (.ner is paying too much. It may he unhesitatingly stated, without tear of contradiction, that the unorganized efforts of farmers and also consumers is responsible for this state ot aflairs, If one comes to look into the question, it appears to bc somewhat ot an anomaly, that farming is the only bUSlncBB where the1 purchaser fixes the price to he paid for the produce. In all other lines of business the producers fixes the price. United action amongst farmers nlong well thought* out co-operative business lines is ttie remedy and the *.ey-note to all successful agriculture., One only needs to look around the stores in our Coast cities to notice that American fruit, vegetables, etc., are sold to a tar larger extent than local produce. This should not be so, when we Can put on the market fresher anl superior produce. Whilst these American goods are being sold in our cities, similar produce is rotting In our fields. It one asks the retailer why they do not purchase home-grown produce in preference to imported, and thus keep in circulation in this Province the large amount of money which is being sent out annually to the States to tho South of us, they will invariably give thc answer that they would be * nly too pleased to do so, but tbat they cannot be assured of a regular simply, lhat they must be certain of having the goods at stated times with which to supply their customers. United action amongst farmers and co-operative selling would meet this difficulty. Tbat the principles of co-operation are necessary and sound, tbe experience of other countries has clearly demonstrated. Look at what bas been, accomplished in Denmark, u country which was raised from a condition of bankruptcy to itt present state of prosperity by the adoption id co operative principles. Ireland |also has,been raised from the Blougb of despond to a condition of contentment and prosperity amongst agriculturists by the wonderful work of Sir Horace Plunkett. New Zealand gives another striking example of effective co-operative work. It is safe to say tbat there arc several hundred thousand dollars Kent oift (•'. our city ot Victoria tor American produce which Can he raised to the best advantage on lands contiguous to the city. Whut a difference it would make to the general well-being of Victoria if that money were kept in circulation here. It Ib very gratifying to note that the consuming public of our cities is now realising the vital necessity of supporting home production. Kvery householder in our cities should Insist ou being supplied with local pro duce. If this were done, the stores will have to keep It, Vancouver Island is splendidly adapted for mixed farming, dairying, poultry raising, fruit and vegetable glowing, and generally for intensive farming on small acreage. Let us theiefiiie have the utmost confidence in the future of our great Province, The dawn of a brighter day Is nt hand. We have our wealth and more of a science, and needs as >f minerals, timber and fisheries, much knowledge aB, If not more than, any other trade or profession. Par tnts who send their 80(18 out to the ('■dollies to farm would be well nd vised to give them a course at one of our good Canadian Agricultural Colleges, stt'h nn that of Guolph, On tnrio. They would then be In a far better position to go mi tbe land and make a success oil', of tbeir|Utidertak Ing. and, most important of nil, our rich, Tortile virgin soils, which only need developing to bring forth the fruits of tbe earth to perfection. We sball soon now not only he producing for (.in own wants, hut also largely ei porting to the (mindless grain lands of the Middle W.-d produce which, owing |o the unrivalled climatic conditions which we enjoy, we can produce to much greater advantage than The "back to tbe land" niovnment j any other part ol Canada-Tha W«sk, THE FROSPECTOR, CRANBROOK, B.

B.O November 7th, 1911. No 4'». Th.1 ch.inge in tbe personnel of the local leaders uf the Conservatives is proof positive that tin* Conservative Party is .still in tbe van mul in the front and prepared to work in securing legislation !o.: tbe future pro- g:<->s and development uf the great resources of our province, These will assist in presiding over the tuture destinies of tho party which has dining recent times worked such ureal reformations in British Oolumbla, The meeting so largely attended last night demonstrates that the people have awakened from the torpidity usually attendant i.n local communities, and that tbey are now prepared to take a lively interest in aflairs of public importance. ThiB is as it should be and if continued will redound to the credit of Cranbrook and her progressive people. Old timers can remember the days when the li. ('. Oovernment was ai short of funds as are the general public today. This wub before the accession of tbe McBrlde Oovernment which bad to (ace tbe large deficits with little income to meet large expenditures. By economy nnd progressive policy deficits were transformed to large surpluses, millions upon millions spent upon roads and other improvements, and when the next expansion of business takes place— which will follow the cessation of war—the full benefits will be felt. In the meantime nur politicians should consider the necessary ways and means of providing the wetm of subsistence for the populace and at the same time thi1 development of the grent agricultural resources of the country and the opening up of tbe mineral and oth^r Industrial (possibilities will follow. Politicians being the trustees of the interests of the people should get to wo.t: and formulate a constructive policy with the necessary legislation to ensure success Which will mean woi». and Btfb* distance for the masses.

Defective and overheated Btoves and furnaces were responsible In 1918 for no Uss titan 137 fires. Defective and overheated pipes and chlmneye resulted lu 150 fires. Lamps and lanterns upset and es ploding were the causes assigned for ^ serious fires. The above flgureB, reproduced from "Conservation/1 bring uut lu detail some of the more prominent and at the same tore preventable causes which contribute to the enormous total of Canada's tire waste. They are worth especial attention In Cranbrook where chimney Brea are frequent at tbis aeacon With only ordinary care, any and all of these Bimple causes may be overcome. This care > required of tbe the average bouseh I occupant ol the private bo ise and farm. With tbe coming I autumn, bringing cooler weatfa r and shorter days, this tire danger ..nee more becomes prominent. Furnaces and stoves will be put into commission and more and more of the lutside work of the farm must be performed by the aid oi lantern light, with its attendant risk. If pipes ami chimneys were not carefully cleaned and inspected wh.u heuting was discontinued m the spring, this work should be thoroughly done now. Stove and furnace smoke pipes which are corroded should be replaced. Pipes, which appear perfectly sound under a covering of enamel of graphite, will be found to have corroded from the dampness inside, and, in many cases, will go to pieces when heing removed. When pipes are replaced they should be thoroughly secured against any danger of their falling. Necessary repairs to stoves and furnaces should be made at once. Chimneys also should receive careful attention. They should be well cleaned, and all soot and ashes removed from the bottom. 01036 examination should be made of the hi irk wood to detect open spaces where mortar may have fallen out or bricks crumbled, especially in-ar wood work or In unused nttics. Hooks suspended from rafters or shelves at a safe distance from wooden walls provide places whereon to bang or stand lanterns, ami thus avoid the danger of their being kicked over or upset. The greatest call tion should be exercised in the handling of lamps In the home. Children should be instructed nn to their danger and every measure taken to avoid accidents, Elko Notes--Fred Roo Mr. T. Oaven, M.P.P., was iu Elko Sunday. Mr. 0.

Women's Institute | Evangelistic Meetings | The regular monthly meeting of the j Cranbrook Women's Institute took I place on TlBSday afternoon in the j Maple Hall with the president, Mrs. j Leaman in the chair. There was a goo.l attendance of members and I quite a few visitors when tbe meet- i ing opened with the singing of the ! Maple Leaf. Mrs. R. W. Russell accompanied at the piano. At thc conclusion of the usual bu-1 siness Mrs. John Shaw gave a dem- j oiistration on short bread. Mrs.Shaw j is an ideal demonstrator and took great care that all should understand the smallest detail. The processes of short bread miJ.ing were watched with the closest interest by a most appreciative audience. As a diversion from the usual routine a solo was tastefully rendered by Mrs. R. W. Russell. It was decided after a short discussion to bold a social evening during the present month to celebrate the anniversary of the Cranbrook Brnnch of Women's Institutes, the date and program to be settled by tbe directors, Ifull particulars of which will be published next week. Tea and refreshments including a dish of shortbread were served by the hostess of the day, und the short | bread was highly approved of by all present. The meeting closed with the Btnglng of the National Anthem, Mrs. (Dr.) Kennedy accompanying. Our times present some of thn most perplexing problems of life. We have been held in the vise-like grip of financial stringency for two years. During this period we have witnessed the gradual elimination of a large lumbering and railway staff till it has reached an alarming minimum. Many of these men have in the past been staunch supporters of every helpful phase of social endeavor. I'n- employmuit and poverty hitherto have hefii unknown in our city. We are in the throes of the most destructive war in thc history of tbe world. Human life and treasures are requisitioned for sacrifice in tbe defense of tho empire. Isolated though we be, we have nevertheless been coin polled to feel the hnrd times and wnr are our unwelcome guests. What wonder that men are asking, what next? We are a professedly Christian people. The one thing needful and the one thing we are too prone to neglect or forget Is the faculty of prayer. We believe that God has in no sense deserted tu. We need only to kuow His will nnd to obey it. Here is the solution to any and all problems. Kor theso reasons the Baptist church of this city is engaging in a special effort for the moral and spiritual uplift of the people to meet the needs of our times. There • is no better way to cure the Ills of life than to put great hope aud courage Into the heart. Wasa Hotel, Wasa, B. C. An Ideal Tourist Resort, near ("ranbrook, Kast Kootenay, B. C.

(1. 3C-41 War and a Common Duty Reproduced from the High River Timet, of Thursday, October 29tb: It is nafe to aHaert that the questions of settlement at tho conclusion of the present war will be of a nature differing widely from previous peace settlements. The purely eco nomic factor may or may not be smaller than heretofore, but there will be the social factor to be taken into consideration to a far greater degree than heretofore. It will not be altogether a question of settling the matter by means of a treaty fixing indemnities and boundaries, and leaving it at that until we are face to face with unother outbreak.. The purely geographical mid financial Ole- inents, and the major part of past treaties in so far as any further good came out df tbem, must be a secondary consideration this time. No national wrath can be appeased by demanding from u people tbat thoy pay millions of money ami band ovor n slice of their territory on which live a conquered peoplo direct ty antagonistic to tbe aims ami aspirations of tbe cunquererors. To proceed along sucb lines, at out! time thought to be a just and equitable method of settlement, has from time to time during recent years been shown to be folly. Alsace and Lor mine are crying examples of the effect of ruthlessly trying to tram- plant a nationality to force it to productivity in au alien atmosphere. Thia process is an argument against itself. National sentiment cannot be altered by removing a houndary twenty, or two thousand, mileB in any direction. Tbe people, not the boundary, are the essential factors, after all, and wherever the boundary be placed, if they are on the wrong Bide, the work is badly done; it is inviting further mischief. It is evident then, that the question of Btate, or a provincial houn- d.iry, will have to be considered from another standpoint, for after the Franco-Prussian war Gladstone declared that he would prefer to see tbe question nf the two provinces settled along national lines. He would have had tbe opinion of the people concerned as to whether tbey would favor the territorial transfer. As to bow far he was right is apparent today, and it remains for the world to decide whether boundaries shall be national or not. The great lessonB of the past can be read; let us hope that they will be read aright. A new Europe Is to emerge from the present conflict, the question to be decided is to whether it is to be a just and '/air Europe. It is impossible to escape the fact that there will be indemnities; that is a foregone conclusion if only in the case of Belgium, the country that has borne so valiantly the brunt of the war only to be sacked and burned to the ground. Money alone can never seplace the treasures that the world haB lost forever. Germany, no less than the rest of Europe, or America, for nfter all, art and beauty have no limitations, their appeal is international. But, Belgium must have some source from which to build up the fallen fabric of her towns and cities. But indemnity falls not only on the conquered. Ever since her previous war in which she was victorious, Germany has claimed from her people the price of planning and building and plotting for tbe present war. This process, again, has acted over the rest of Europe, witb the result that every nation has bail to spend money for the coming of "Tbe Uay." The jealousy of nations, the fear and the pride, bas caused a falling bnck all over the continent. Warships, forts and armies bave bad to be constructed, drilled and feu at the expenHe of the uplifting of the people, Today we bave the ironic picture of the culmination of that greed. The battlefields are eloquent, as also are tbe social conditions uf the countries themselves. Ruin ami devastation hover over Europe today, tbe simple outcome of the policy of armaments and tbe Balance of 1'ower. For such a Condition <>f nffaitH there is no excuse. The world today Is sacrificing the wealth and accumulation of her democracy and ber youth of the past hundred years. Tbe clork Is being set baok, and we are just so far behind our Ideas nn.l our ideals of yesterday. Tbis is tbe supremo question that we havo to face today; we have to face It, and without sblrMng, bfionuse It bas to be made up again. No matter bow long it. takes In tho consummation, we have to BtWtjglo back to our position, wade through' all the welter of blood and sinin humanity. Humanity, after all. Is progressive, but run It pursue tbe path "f enllgbt ment and uplifting If the journey bus to be taken under the iniquitous burden of armaments, armaments and more arniami iitn? Tin1 nge after the war w.ll have to bo one of humanity, oue ,H d*mocr;iv j ey, If the world Is to be allowed* not' only a momentary breathing rmacc, but future ngeti for recuperation and readjustment. There must bn fl° in* ertnesfi, no dllly dallying, armaments must go It the poople ol futurn ^*m rations are to be free. Tbe preson'c generation is responsible fur the war, and It will havo to pay the price. But let ub not leave the buiuu pa tli to be trod by those who are to follow, lf we do, wc are laying up a 'future of passion and death no less horrible thnn the present, lt ia' the power of the people today to (iooide whether the future of the world Bhall be one of degeneration or regeneration, wars and misery, or education, enlightmeut and uplifting.

C, Oct. ti. Editor l'rospectoi': The Northwest Review of Winnipeg bus offered an "appreciation" of remarks made Jn Cranbrook at a meeting of the Ladies Orange Benevolent Association. The usual Jesuitical type of argument characterizes every line. "Parrot-like repetition," "insanity," "globe trotting pursoiiB," "irresponsible country parsons," "sentimental idiots," "slander," "bigot," "tommy-rot," "unqualified lie" are a (ow of the dignillcd phrases used, cuttlclish-likc, to' evade the truth and the facts tbnt are self evident nnd potent to thc whole world of people not blinded by ignorance, superstition and prejudice. However, the Northwest Review is oblivious to the fact that this is a protestant country. Even Quebec is a protestan; country. If not a protestant country, what is it? Thc Northwest Review seems to be ignorant.,,f the historic fact. Not evidently the "history" the Northwest Review reads. Before any British sovereign cnn sit on the throne he must flrst give solemn oath that he will preserve the church ol Scotland as hy law established—Presbyterian. The coronation oath required of every sovereign since the reign of William of glorious memory has heen of'thc strictest protestant character, simply because Buch was demanded by the spirit of the nation for its sole preservation against any power or potentate however arrogant its claim to rule the nntlons nnd people of the world. If the editor of the Northwest Review- lived in Italy, France, or even Germany he might ask the question, are these countries Roman Catholic? where the "Ne Temere" decree and "Motu Proprio" dare not ta enforced. Possibly the same editor may have been among thoBe expelled from France a few years ago and had to take refuge in Protestant Britain. CONSTANT READER. From A Protestant The following correspondence was refused by the Cranbroi/i Herald but we print it. ns we would any other cammunicatlon that does aot bear the tinge (of personal abuse; the writer spccitically says it is not against the Catholic people that he extends his remarks but against the system under which they live.

At the outset let me make clear that I hnve no fault to find with the Individual Catholics ol this or any other community, hut wllh the Cliurch system tor seeking thc special power and privilege of saying when persons' are properly married, the spe- olal privilege of a separate school tor members' of that particular tnlth, etc. The writer does not like thc ne temere decree to be culled an Infamous thing and says "tho pii'illc muat bc by this tfnic porfectly sntisllcd that thiB dccic.5 brought into force thoBe greater precautions against careless or Improper marriages that were already In force in other pnrta ot the world — No civil law could iu nny wny nlloct thn decree and tiie only persons who have any cause for complaint arc the Catholics who are inconvenienced fiy its illsablllties, but recognizing a great inllucnen towards n higher morality, and the evi] tendencies of the times, they are quite contented to "bey lt."

We nre told by the writer that OatholloB only ore inconvenienced by lhls decree, and yet many happy homos have been destroyed by It; there are many pathetic casis where the priests of Rome have broken up homes where a protestant, legally married to a Catholic, refused to admit that he was living in adultery and the children of thin union illegitimate. Reference could lie made to tt case in Moose Jaw a tow months ngo when the proteBtnnt wife of n Roman Catholic man was told by the priest that she could not Been her child or husband ngnln till Bhe would consent to be married over again by a priest, and the happy home was thereby broken up; nnd so many oilier cases, The Catholic directory for Kootenay. Boundary and Revelstoke districts for 1914, and published with the approval of iMoiiBlgnor ,1. Altholl, Vio- nr General of the Archdiocese of Vancouver, undor the seventh sacrament of the church (matrimony) says: "Matrimony unites man and woman for life uud grunts them tin- grace of living together ia peace and harmony, siini-tifying their joys and sorrows nnd helping each other ia tlu! fttithful discharge of all their duties. The law of the church Is that all Catholics must be married by a duly authorized priest, and tills holds good in the case of mixed marriages, otherwise their marriage Is null and void." Church law only, the writer would soy, but the church the same ub anything else i, amenable to civil law, und if that is not so, then the Pope is our law and not the British Constitution. Has thc Roinnn Catholic church system, through its priests, the right to say a woman is an adult- cress and hcr children illegitimate, when civil law says she is legally married.

In a letter to the editor of this book, the Bishop of Shrewsbury expresses his wish "That every cc clesiasticul student had to learn the book by heart." The difference between protestantism snd Romanism is, the Bible Is an open book to the one and a sealed book to the other. The Reformed churches have translated the whole Bible in 517 languages and dialects—all the great trunk languages spoken by three- fourths of the world's inhabitants— nnd published 300,000,000 copies. The Roman church keeps the Bible locked up in n Latin tongn". It iB true the Douay Bible was published but tin- people are forbidden to read it, and one cnn see the hidden hatred with which the distribution (If the Bible is regarded by Rome.
