The Bisley team the Canadian Bisley team has now reached England and is ready to shoot for the King s cup and to compete in the other National Rifle association competitions next month. The team has imposed it a duty made the More difficult for the successes that have won in the past. These have not been slight. The King s cup has been brought to Canada six times it was won by private he Hurst in 1.s95, by pet. Perry in 1904, by pet. Clifford in 1911, by pet. Hawkins in 1913, by pet. Burke in. 1924, and by . Blair in 1929. The canadians did not win the cup last year but they shot in the final Competition. They were placed third by the Fine shooting of . M. J. Mcleod of the Queen s own who finished Only five Points below the English Winner. The team came second in the Kola Porti cup open to the Empire and if it did not bring Back the coveted King s cup Jit returned Well Laden with lessor prizes principal being perhaps the All Comers aggregate and the Elkington cups. This general Stan Dard of excellence in shooting pro claimed the Merit of the learn. For it is possible for a poor team to in clude a pre eminent shot and thus win the King s cup while shooting poorly in he aggregate. This is not so with Canada s teams. The Story of Bisley that is the same each year has to be. Told afresh for each King s cup. The intensity of interest is kept alive by the narrow margins. There is too the personal equation which has to be the vital Factor in Marks Manship. The coolness that has to printed mud published Winnipeg Viet press company limited joint Stock company.

This year s Canadian Bisley team is leavened with experience. Eleven of its eighteen marksmen have had previous experience on the famous ranges. They Are commanded by Lieut col. H. P. G. Letson m.c., of Vancouver and their adjutant is capt. H. W. Bishop of Ottawa who has himself been a shooting Mem Ber of previous Bisley teams. The team s fortunes will be followed sympathetically. They May win cups or they May not but in tin tradition they will shoot their Best no More can be asked of them by canadians at Home wishing them Good Luck. Notes and comment Waul 1-snit a6ood idea after questionnaire tells All by . The questionnaire has come being the biggest and that Trade treaties stay in America. Not Only that but it is crashing the Best circles. No longer does it belong exclusively to advertising concerns anxious to find out How the local three Hun dred keep their girlish complexions or psychology experts who probe around in the subconscious cellars of the criminal mind or school in trance committees who Pride them selves on allowing nobody lacking in . Into their classes. No it is establishing itself not Only in High j quarters but As High entertainment. Witness the annual senior question Naire which was read at the Prince ton University 1934 dinner. Trends of modern youth moral social intellectual and miscellaneous which can be deduced from it Are practically unlimited. What Are the tastes of the Prince ton senior of 1934? he prefers whisky to milk and Noel Coward to Shakespeare As a Start. But More surprising revelations follow. Who for instance Are his favorite poets but Browning and Kipling and those whom he consigns to the mansions everywhere you go by g. V. F. Remarked a Promin ent citizen of that Metropolis As we motored through the tre lined streets is a City this platitude was received with Peers. His proof however was More original. The reason Why you can t buy a decent meal in this he continued is because everybody eats at the car swerved sharply in order to skin Between two children playing in the Gutter and a Peanut cart. Its orderly Progress was then resumed Between the lines of Homes which Lurk behind their Lush leaved Trees and poke their verandahs out of masses of vines and creepers. Behind those vines dwelt the denizens of Toronto the men who beat the big Drums in the Orange parades or Are chased out of Queen s Park by the police or sell Bonds or go to Church or indulge in any other of the major activities of Toronto. They Are a varied lot these Toronto Iaus but in the main they Are a Slick sleek Wall clothed lot of people who All believe that the Toronto exhibition is the greatest exhibition in the world. They Tell you about the exhibition until you Are sick and tired of it. What you be never seen the this is the conversational opening that gives Western ers the inferiority Complex that easterners complain about. Nevertheless the Homes of from the Golden books pared to their file upstanding sky sweeping cousins in the East. These then Are the Points to notice in Ontario its wealth and its loveliness. The wealth May it be whispered has the Tariff to thank for its existence there. But the loveliness flows from provi a Dence itself and it seems a pity in this imperfect world that the people who live in Toronto would rather Tell you about the tawdry wedding cake decorations of the exhibition than to Tell in tones of Humble thanksgiving of the loveliness of tha Don Valley in the dusk of a summer evening. Great Britain having proved Chilly to or. Hull s idea of War debt payments in kind the new yorker suggests the u. S. Need now expect they amalgamation of a sort that is satisfactory to j payment in kind words. Am Liiv see in the co operative agreements Between the j Toronto Are there. Slums there Are alas in plenty. Modest Homes in mass. But vast residences and estates Are there like to the Sands of the sea in number. When the Man from Alberta and Saskatchewan comes to. Winnipeg we drive him about and show him the eights and As he passes Down the Long extent of Wellington Crescent and through Tuxedo and into the City Park he exclaims at the Large number of Fine Homes and gardens. He admires the Trees and the Green grass for in Calgary and Regina for example Green grass and Trees Are difficult things to come by. He looks at so and so s place and Thig Umaji s Garden and he gazes at them like the country Cousin and murmurs remarks about the wealth there is in Winnipeg and the Fine climate which makes such using possible.

Winnipeg born St. Paul s Parish. Middle Church man., june 28, Topsy Turvy parties by Tom King Washington happens that during the past seventy three years there have Only been thirteen years during which the democratic party has had Complete control of every Branch of the Federal govern ment. This in spite of the fact that the democrats have carried during this period five presidential elections and probably twice As Many congressional elections. Hence a democratic opposition in Congress a rapier which any Republican pro silent Well May dread. To realize this one need Only read the history of i he Harding Coolidge and Hoover administrations. By the same Token the Republican party m Power has a Strong Arm technique in which the late speaker Joe Cannon among others excelled and a certain Talent for Good natured banter and intrigue of which former senator Jim Watson of Indiana was a past master. More Over some Republican leaders in the Senate and House alike had a pontifical Way of presenting Meas ures they especially desired to have adopted which almost disarmed controversy at least among their party supporters. Hence when the wheel of Fortune placed the democratic party in full control its leaders trained and accustomed to attack sit stiffly and More or less ineffective in the seats of the mighty. Fortunately the re publican leaders accustomed to command and trained in defense Are so incapable of forming a parliamentary opposition that their efforts in that direction Are usually grotesque. Hence during the Sev Enty third Congress which has just passed into history democratic leadership was weak but even weaker still was Republican opposition. In the House for example speaker Rainey a most lovable gentle himself utterly Luan Lui Inu Nim Seit utterly unable East it is his turn to wonder and to control the House. The impress exclaim. Here in Winnipeg we 3ion therefore got abroad that the have a couple of Miles perhaps 0h had beyond the control of its speaker and under the Fine houses.

And far Back from the Road you catch a glimpse of a Beautiful country House set gently among its lawns and Trees. Fifty thousand a Hundred thousand perhaps two or three Hundred thousand dollars it would take to set them in their place and there Are scores nay hundreds of them. And at last you pass into Toronto itself and there again stand these streets of Fine old houses the Little strips of Green in front tilling nothing of the great expanse of Garden behind them and every thing is verdant and Beautiful for the rain Falls in Ontario As it should fall and the temperatures do not drop to 45 below Zero in the Winter time and take the heart out of All living things and stunt and gnarl the Trees into stopping their i owl when they arc still baby Trees com in memory of Landor Swinburne Back the.

Meanwhile persistent Rumor had it that the democratic majority in both houses of Congress was in re Volt against the president. The rejection of the St. Lawrence treaty by the Senate and the passage by both houses Over the president s veto of a Bill which threatened to completely upset the balancing of his budget confirmed this impression. Yet the session closed with the passage of every other Bill which had been recommended by the president and with the Defea t of every Bill like the soldiers Bonus the Hundred per cent pay off of depositors in closed Hanks which would have embarrassed or disconcerted the president. True Congress neglected to pass the amendments to the agricultural adjustment act when Secretary Wallace thought necessary but at the same time it gave the Secre tary the same Complete Power Over the production of tobacco which he now enjoys Over the production of Cotton. It May also be noted that the confirmed the Nomina from the economist London while or. Runciman has been endeavouring rather ineffectively to cast out the Devil of Trade restrictions by the Beelzebub of tariffs or. Elliot has become the Prophet the new economical religion which deities nationalism and Wor ships quotas for their own Sakes. This divergence of opinion might have gone on for some time without entailing any serious political disturbance were it not for the policy of Imperial preference enshrined in the Ottawa agreements which bar the Wuy to that full measure of Protection for the British Farmer for which or. Elliot thirsts. The innate contradictions of Ottawa Are beginning to reveal themselves in. No Uncertain fashion and before Long the government will he faced with the embarrassing Choice of agricultural Protection v. Imperial Trade which May prove awkward indeed for the traditionally party.
