Forest pro that More than 50 per cent of Canada s manufacturing juries depend upon i As a raw material can anyone fail the important position held by the forests in the eco of this country " the standing Timber is estimated to be Worth More than three dollars.

The forests also a flip the railways of Canada with. 20 per cent of All the freight they haul and they Supply them with immense quantities ties Bridge Timber and lumber for buildings. Industries that Are directly engaged in turning out Forest verdicts require millions of dollars Worth of equipment and sup and the employees and their families have wants that supplied at a Cost of Many millions More. To eliminate g forests or allow them to waste away would make a ruinous m in the economic life of Canada. F to anyone who gives the matter the least reflection there to Herc Are Many convincing reasons Why we should protect 4 i vests and maintain them As a continuing source of wealth years. Canada holds an enviable position in regard to supplies practically every other country facing a Short be Russia and Siberia where the forests Are too inac Ces a source of Export Trade. There is sure to be an in ass demand from other countries for the products of our and there will be an immensely greater demand within entry As the population increases As it ultimately will to millions a Hundred millions and More. But the unfortunate fact that should smite the conscience of who has not the instincts of the huns and vandals Cid is that while the Forest bears such a vital relation to the resent economic life of the country and while we can plainly see b inevitably increasing demand for its products Canada is Al crw 32loose resources to be exhaust de at. A More rapid rate than any nation in the world. Canadians Are fiddling while a National set of incalculable value is burning up or being otherwise wasted o a deplorable degree every year. Awhile other countries have arsed by a costly experience that the Forest must be treated As scrap and that the cutting or total loss each year should not the new growth Canada is annually witnessing the Renc Iio Oiher Forest capital. In provinces the cutting sirs the new growth and there is the loss from fire insects a. Bides. In Ontario and Quebec the cutting is at least equal growth and there is a heavy loss from the destructive belies. In the Prairie provinces the new growth is believed to greater than the amount Cut but the fire losses Are enormous i if continued will certainly be Felt by industries depending Forest. The Public has been gradually coming to a realization of this Rohl Cra it must see it. More clearly and must become More roused before the problem will be adequately dealt it Calls for vigorous co operative action by the Dominion fid provincial governments and that requires the support of Public opinion. Graphy arithmetic and United states history. For this purpose the state May require every child to attend the Public school or some school equally Good so Many months a. Year until he reaches a certain age or passes a certain examination. If there be no school of the proper Standard in the locality except the Public school the state authorities May unquestionably compel the child in that locality to attend the Public school. This is in effect the Law in Manitoba. The Point in dispute is whether the state May go further and com Pel the child to attend the Public school Only. Those resisting the Law declare that it confiscates the property of the private and Paro Chial schools by practically forbid Ding All children to attend them and that it deprives the Parent of his right to have the child educated in any school he pleases provided that school be up to the Standard prescribed by the state. Hence their recourse to the Federal courts relying upon that clause in the fourteenth amendment to the u. S. Constitution which prohibits the state from depriving any citizen of life Liberty or property without due process of Law. If the Oregon statute be upheld similar legislation will be proposed in Many other states and in some of them probably passed. Such a Law was proposed in Michigan a few years ago but was Defeated by the people on a referendum. The Ore gon statute by the Way was enacted by a direct vote of the people. Each state has undoubtedly com plete control Over the subject of education provided it does not unduly infringe upon the Liberty of the citizen. Several state statutes prohibiting the teaching of the Ger Man language in private schools were recently declared by the United states supreme court to be unconstitutional.

Supreme court differs widely from although in a Way it recalls the Long contest Over the Manitoba school question. There Are no separate schools in Oregon or any other state As that term is usually understood in can Ada. All citizens Are taxed for the Public school and no Money raised by any tax goes to the support of any other school. There Are Paro Chial and private schools but these receive no assistance from the state. The Oregon statute now under review practically abolishes All of these schools by requiring every child in the state not physically incapacitated to attend the Public schools during the usual school hours throughout the school year. The statute was declared unconstitutional by the local Federal court and an Appeal from this decision has been carried by the state of Oregon to the supreme court of the United states. Everyone concedes the right of the state to require every child to be educated to be come proficient to.

If you went to Downing Street and tried to do the same to or. Baldwin the result would be 10s. 6d. And costs for disorderly conduct. We had lost something in the modern world and that thing was the uniqueness of the individual. The state that had failed to discover for each of its citizens what his intellectual heritage was was a state that had failed in its supposing every world is full of free to intercept the ministers of state in their hurried walks abroad free to invade their offices and Homes it would add to the burdens of government and not to the gaiety of nations. This is the complicated twentieth Century and a far cry from Pericles. The Story goes that a practical joker in South Africa Witwatersrand University submitted a Lyric in a verse Competition of Shelley s which begins like the ghost of a dear dead Tho judges gave him the third prize finding some Promise in the first and second prize went to verse written in Cape dutch. When the truth came out there was some fun Over the matter. I do not know the poem but very Likely it is nowhere near Shelley s finest lyrics. The Man Chester guardian says no doubt if the ode to the sky Park Vivero published for the first time today a handful of critics would recognize its loveliness. But unless the critics pointed that out should we not some of us miss it such self questioning is not per haps out of place As in interlude to our chuckling Over the Johannes Burg judges of perhaps some Reader of this column who used to read Andrew Lane s amusing , at the sign of the in Longman s Magazine will remember his absurd discourse telling How the ode to the Skylark would be merciless in slated by the reviewer had it first appeared in current poetry. It would be about Twenty five or thirty years ago and was funny enough to tickle the sober est diaphragm.

The Host did not As has been said amount to any thing aggressive or constructive. It May he Well to examine next what is taking place at this moment through out the province. Speaking generally the present attitude May be said to be showing much More life a Little More coherence but Little More con str activeness. It is always Safe when an administration has held office As has the present Liberal one in Saskatchewan for 20 years to raise the cry it s time for a this however. Is Usu ally futile unless it can be shown in unmistakable terms just Why it is time and what changes Are proposed to be made. At an organization meeting held in Saskatoon on Augusto 1924, a provincial progressive association was formed and following. This a statement of principles and policies has been issued. While this is the manifesto of the provincial association local to have been adopting their own at least one of which has come to the attention of the writer. The official manifesto then says among other things that the present system of party government is detrimental to Tho Best interests of the people. There Are too Many machine poll tics. The country needs strict Economy in Public business by reducing the. Numbers of the civil service reorganization of departments in Cost of Public buildings in Public j printing.

Thence to co operation with the Federal members for Saskatchewan in securing imme Diate Reform of the Senate immedi ate settlement of the natural re sources Issue Early completion of the h. B Road. And so it s time for a change. While the govern ment has been in Power practically every appointment has been Mads with an Eye to its political significance. The province a controlled and dominated by a sinister political machine this then is the official platform. How much of it is really going to be a guiding Factor in securing votes to turn out the present administration remains to be seen.

A be elect Lou tha t Means a lot in a political Way in British Colum Bia is now being fought in the constituency of grand Forks Green Wood which has not been represented in the legislature since the elec Tion in june 1924, owing to the death of or. John Mckie the Mem Ber elect on the eve of the opening of that body in november last. Or. Mckie was elected in a three cornered contest a provincial party candidate being in the Field by a majority of about 150. In the pres ent fight which is expected to excite a lot of interest before it is Over the government candidate is or. D. Mcpherson a business Man while the conservative party is represented by or. Kingston a medical practitioner Well known throughout the constituency. The contest according to a correspondent of the free press is important because a win for the Liberal candidate would probably so strengthen the position of the Oliver administration that it Oxild be Able to carry on despite the Lack of a majority of its own complexion about the full length its legislative term both parties Are confident of Success while Dis interested observers who know Tho constituency pretty Well Are inn Meo to regard the Issue As being very much in doubt. Should or. Kingston be the Winner the present position of the government in the House de pendent As it is on the la borates and the Small provincial party for its support would be materially worse than it was at the last ses Sion. On the other hand a conservative defeat would encourage the government and increase the possibility of the City of Vancouver receiving representation in the pro Cabinet. With another sup Porter in the legislature it is not improbable that the wishes of the people of Vancouver in that respect would be complied with by Premier Oliver the government taking the Chance of an election in that City that would certainly follow the Choice of one of the Vancouver members for a place in the Cabinet. Or. R. H. Pooley the temporary conservative Leader has announced that All Bye elections in British Columbia will be contested and he would not miss the Chance of defeating a new minister in a Van Couver contest were the administration to venture upon a contest in that City. The anti dumping proposition. The Grain growers guide attrib utes the withdrawal of the Amend ment to the anti dumping clause of the customs Tariff act to the opposition to it offered by the Progress Ives. This amendment it says would have put it in the Power of the government to concede nearly every demand of the protectionists special administrative rulings. Once the guide declares the attitude of the progressives has forced the government to climb Down but these repeated attempts of the government party to run with the Hare and Hunt with the hounds to play into the hands of the protect to omits while repudiating a protectionist policy indicate the real pol icy of the government More clearly than platform land charts " How Many would use it from the West Palm Beach Post one thing the world needs is an amplifier for the still Small voice.

Their situation is such As would discourage any but the most hoj Maul and Stout hearted. They have been severely tried and the trial ought not to be much further prolonged. The speedy building of the railway is not urged merely upon grounds of compassion or even of Justice to . The country holds out the most Brilliant prospects for enriching the of Canada attracting the population which we so greatly need and in creasing production. A new Canada came into being through the development of Manitoba Saskatchewan and Alberta in the Early years i of the present Century. That history can be repeated if prompt and vigorous measures Are taken for developing the peace River country. The Money which the government could obtain from the Sale of land in the peace River to new settlers the Globe suggests might help to finance the new railway outlet if necessary. A More.

A. Kennedy War correspondent of the 85 not a Man in the Force but my self had Ever under general Middleton after the Battle of fish Creek of which we celebrate the 40th anniversary to Day. His statement May have been exaggerated a few of the volunteers engaged had probably smelt powder in Imperial campaigns before com ing to Canada yet for nearly All As for the expeditionary Force As a this was truly the of it was sprung upon them too. They were taken by Surprise. It was a Black Friday for them though a red letter Day for their comrades farther West. After leaving the Canadian Pacific railway at Quappelle on april 2, the general halted his column at fort Quappelle for four Days to give the 90th a Little musketry practice As he found that Many of the men had never pulled a trigger. He started again on april 6 for rebel Strong hold at Batoche marched "29 Miles in two Days then waited a Day for col. Montizambert to catch him up with a Battery and its two guns. Five Days More covering 105 Miles brought the column to hum Boldt where there was another Day s halt the Force being still incomplete. Three Days March covering 5s Miles brought the column to the South Saskatchewan at Clark s crossing where the Toronto Grena Diers arrived next Day the 18th. The March had been severe the cold at first was intense and later on the Trail was so bad that the men were wading up to their Knees sometimes almost to their at Clark s crossing the Force of about 800 was split in two. One column under Montizambert con sisting of the grenadiers the Winnipeg Field Battery and French s scouts marched Down the River on the West Bank the other column under midd Teton himself made up of col. Mckeand s 90th Winnipeg Battery Boulton s scouts and half of the infantry school company from Toronto took the parallel route along the East Bank. Riel s men opened fire on the morning of Friday the ?4th, approaching the Ravine of fish Creek the column was Sud Denly fired on by hidden half Breeds and indians. Gabriel Dumont Riel s general had dug Rifle pits and Laid in supplies there for a determined attempt to Check our further pro Gress. They had chosen the ground Well and even after most of them were driven out in the afternoon a Little party of rebels remained concealed in a thickly wooded part of the Ravine. Again and again our men tried in vain to reach this Hornet s the firing was extremely hot. The general himself got a Bullet through his Cap. His two aides capt. Wise and Lieut. Doucet were both wounded. At one time the rebels set fire to the Nalrie the wind carrying the flames toward our Force and under cover of the smoke some of Dumont s men advanced from the Ravine. A party of. Teamsters beat out the fire and the soldiers though forced a Little at first soon rallied and drove the enemy in turn. In his account of the fight Gen eral old Deltou praised the conduct of All the troops and among those he specially mentioned was a Little bugler of the 90th, William Buchan an who made himself particularly useful in carrying ammunition to the right front when the fire was at its hottest. This he did with Peculiar nonchalance walking about crying now boys who s for cart ten killed and forty wounded out of 350 men engaged or one in seven was the casualty list when the Force was drawn off and camped for the night. The bodies of three indians were found with More than 50 dead ponies killed by shells and the total loss of the 2-so rebels engaged was 11 killed and 18 wounded. From papers afterwards captured the general . It appeared that they had intended to let me enter the Ravine or Crest and then de stroy us taking me prisoner and hold chg me As a. Hostage to assist them in making terms with the government at Ottawa their scheme was Defeated by my having my scouts so far in Advance which obliged them to fire on. Them and. Thus disclosed their was a serious Check nevertheless the Check was very serious. To be sure the night was spent in peace. The last of the Brave hidden snipers skipped out of the Ravine under cover of darkness and no further attack developed. But Middleton thought it Best to pause in his Advance till the Steamer Northcote should arrive with supplies and reinforcements from Saskatchewan Landing North of Swift current. I told in my. Article of april show she took nearly a. Week threading her Way among Sand bars from to the Landing where she spent four Days ferrying our Battleford Relief column across the River. She then took on Board col. Williams Midland battalion of 200 men from Ontario Lieut. Howard with his Gatling gun from the states and the Tal staff under or. Roddick of Mont real and or. Douglas v.c., a Veteran surgeon of the Imperial army. It was Only on april 23, the Day before the fish Creek fight that she started on this voyage Down the River. The Northcote now had in Tow a couple of barges full of ammunition provisions and medical sup plies and she herself was so heavily loaded that she Drew 34 inches of water. Sand bars were As plentiful As rocks on the Road to Dublin she was constantly running aground and having to be poled off and she had not been heard of for eight Days when Dennis s mounted surveyors discovered and fast on one of those innumerable Sand Banks. She Only reached fish Creek on May 5, after Landing half the my slanders to Garrison Clark s crossing and the medical staff to establish a Field Hospital at the Vil Lage of Saskatoon where the wounded from fish Creek presently arrived and were treated with the greatest kindness by . Otter s March to Battleford the original intention was to have Otter s column descend the River too and join forces with Middleton but Battleford was reported As in such imminent peril that the column was ordered Post haste to the Relief of that town instead. It. Was a great March though we encountered neither human resist Ance nor the knee deep mud that Middleton s men had to Wade through. One Stream the Eagle Creek had to be bridged but that was speedily done with timbers we had brought for the purpose. Of ter s column consisted of 540 fight ing men chiefly made up of the Toronto Queen s own rifles under col. Miller a Battery with two guns and a Gatling under major Short.

Over 160 Miles in. Five and a half was not bad travelling. On thursday afternoon april 23, we left the Bald headed Prairie behind and plunged into the Well wooded Park lauds. Presently we came on. Some log huts and knew we were on red pheasant s Reserve of Stoney indians. The place was deserted however red pheasant was on the War path. I have beside me now his War drum of raw hide painted Blue stretched Over half a barrel encircled by red cloth and adorned with Blue and White Bead work. Under a Heap of Straw in a pig stye we found the body of Payne the farm instructor shot by one of his pupils Story of the tra Gedy i heard later on from his own lips. Sending messengers Forward to give the beleaguered Garrison of Battleford the Welcome news of our approach we camped for the night three Miles Short of our destination. The indians set fire to judge r of Leau s House by Way of parting Defi Ance and stole away in the dark. On Friday the 24th. Forty years ago this morning at the very time when our comrades farther East were be ing held up by the Hornet s nest of fish Creek we marched Down to the River and Battleford was relieved without a shot. . Her riot and Macdonald prom the n. Y. Times if Herriot until a few weeks ago maintained himself in office with a vigor and sureness out of proportion to his parliamentary support it was because the country saw in him the Only possible agent for putting through that settlement with. Ger Many for which m. Poincare was disqualified by his record or his temper. Harriot s career and ser vices thus run parallel to those of his Friend and Collaborator across the Channel Ramsay Macdonald. The latter was in an actual minority in his parliament but maintained in office for the very same reasons As obtained at Paris the Dawes plan is the joint achievement of the two prime ministers and carries credit enough for both. When that prime duty for the peace of Europe had been accomplished the tactical weakness of both men at once manifested itself and in curiously similar fashion Ramsay Macdonald allowed himself to be his own left Wing into a russian policy that proved his.

Rome on april 21 the italians celebrated amid festivities and ceremonials Tho birthday of Rome Rome the Mother of dead empires. Rome Ike other famous cities began in a Small Way. Its founder wa3, Accord ing to Tho legends an adventurer named Romulus twin brother was Remus. These two were the sons of the Vestal Virgin Artiea Syl via their father being the god Mara when Rhea s twins were born her Uncle am Ullus the usurper King of Alba Longa caused them to be exposed in the Forest where however hey were suckled by a she Wolf and fed by a Woodpecker and then res cued and reared by the Shepherd Faus Tulus and his wife Acca Lau rental. The choicest Glamor of tradition therefore surrounds the founder of Rome. Romulus and Remus became leaders of the adventurous spirits who were to be rounded up in the areas around the Palatine. Present a the twins decided to found a new City of their own and in 753 . They marked out the foundations on the site where they had been Nur tured. A quarrel for precedence Droke out Between the twins and one Story has it that to show his contempt for his brother Remus jumped Over the Wall which Romu Lus was whereupon Romulus slew him and became sole founder of the City and its first King. From legendary and fabulous be ginnings Rome grew through the centuries to be the greatest Power. In the world the very word has a magic and a mystical significance suggestive of the teeming records of history and the advancement of human society. It took centuries for the roman Power to grow to its full strength and centuries More for it to and and pass finally away As a Factor in the life of Europe it is one of those tremendous spectacles which the mind contemplates with amazement and fascination that never weakens Ita influence on the thought and action of living men still continues and still will continue.
