A writer in Little's Living Age has {discovered that England, agricultural ly, is going to the bad, 20 decay, be- cause the people are' deserting, the land and crowding into cities. "The coun- try folk have been driven," he writes, "mainly by the stress of. economic causes, from the fields to the towns, the loss of rural labourers amount- ing to no fewer than a million. Under the stupid and disastrous domination of laisser faire our agriculture has de- clined as fast as our industrial wealth has increased." This writer has been examining the census and finds that when there is an _ increase. of population in the county it is urban and not rural. And this is said to have been going on for seventy years, or ever since the triumph of Cobdenism, or free trade. While England "has elected to [stand on one leg," (mark the expres sion. Gytmany, France, and other great, states' have! brought forward their agriciltural pari passa, with their manufacturing industries." Then the political 'significance of the article becomes apparent. "Unless," w. are told, "we can secure to the. vator a decent price for his produce, and give him something that will pay him to produge, all such devices as small tensncies, land banks, credit banks and co-operative schemes will be 'Jdriven from agriculture. So that Napolitano {should make sure of one Mhing--that little better than useless." The ques: |- tion is, Where is the party leader who et wiilo : : THE DAILY BRITISH wma, SATURDAY. JULY 8, "1011. of dare say to "Your food will "your food ought From the existing will carry the facts to the moby urban electors ? Who the industrial voter, cost you more, cost yoa more ?"' party leaders there is no redress relief. Nothing bot some dire disaster will teach Englishmen just what it means for a state to be dependent on the outside world for three-quarters of its food supplies. Two reflections follow. Ome the United States is' a highly ed country, that it has been raising more food than it has been consum- ing, but that the day is approaching when . it will have to import, like England, and for a similar reason. The people are leaving the fields as a matter of choice. , They are not being the to do with the movement of population from the soil to the city. The other thought is that the independence and profitable. ness of agricultural life is not fairly or fully recognized. Farming is a hard life, in some respects. The land will yield its riches, but it must be work- ed, 'and by wise and discreet plans, The hours of service are long at some seasons, but the farmer is his own master, and that is a great considera- tion. Young men .are misguided in leaving the farm and settling in the city, but they do not realize it until itis too late. Ra ------ i REAL JUSTICE IN CANADA, - The New York 'Journal, which is sensational if anything, prints a shocking article with regard to Mrs. Angelina Napolitano," the murderess, who is under sentence of death at Sault Ste.

The moth- er is to live until the baby is born, and then she will be hanged-choked to death with a rope around neck." And after more tothe 'same effect, there is this finish: 'You can read miuch in history before finding any infamy comparable to that of which the Canadian government . and the Canadian people will be guilty il thay allow this monstrous crime be committed." This is the kind of talk that on the American side. and that - helps to make justice there nu travesty.

Mr. Borden, at Minnedosa, told an audience of farmers that he would go tdown--to--delfeat----before--he--would---en- dorse the trade agreement.

King- | tton would have been a great city had the legislators of that period not got cold feet in their fear of Fenian invasion and the destruction of the parliament buildings, thei here. How- ever, they did get ehills, 'and moved to old Bytown, an ancient isolated lumber camp. Take the parliament' buildings out of Ottawa and there would be nothing but lumber piles left. 'The Lampman thinks that there is a8 much chance of Queen's leav- ing Kingston as there is the seat of parliament being moved to Kingston. Ihe Ottawa people have suffered so much from heat during the past . few days that their heads have been af- fected a little, The Lampman reads in the papers that Harbormaster McCammon is go- ing to make the owners of small hoats sit up and take notice. The law is quoted for their benefit, to show that even tiny boats must carry a light at night. The harbor master might as well read the riot act to the cats that fight on the fences at night as talk to the boatmen, for all the notice they will take. What the har- bor master should do is to ask the town Seouncil for the use of a small motor hoat and make a few trips ov- er the harbor at nights, and he would have mo trouble in catching some 'of justice that is her due, and it will not be 'rushed by any excited appeals of the press. There has been too much mawkish sentimentality about this case. The Roman all showing the least concern and solici- | tude. is perhaps of EDITORIAL NOTES. Groat Britain and the United States will arbitrate old claims which go back to the war of 1812. Perhaps Canada ean butt in and get enough to pay for the Laura Secord monu- ment at Queenston Heights. -- Did Mr. Borden applaud the farmers' deputation which visited Ottawa last winter and advocated reciprocity among other things? Was le right then ? H so what caused the change in his manner and sentiment ? Summer school in Kingston a fail ure. Why ? Is it as good as any other summer school? If not, why? In going into anything the projectors they have the very best. There are too many summer schools in Ontario, the law violators. If he does not do this he will have as much success in bringing the boatmen to time as the town policemen have had in catching the perscns who poison dogs. Who ever heard of a dog poisoner in King- ston being caught ? Some strangers Fave remarked to the Lampman that Princess in need of paint. Now that :thevroad- way has been oiled the merchants might see what they can do in the way of making their storefronts look a little brighter. Shabby woodwork on buildings does not give strangers a good impression of a town. Chalmers people are to worship in their newly .dorned edifice hgain after being out of it for the past two and a half months, and the Lampman hopes tn see the gowned choir in the loft behind the minister. Chalmers' | lady choristers, the Lampman under- stands, have been noted for their good | taste in wearing quiet millinery, and] not looking so flashy as some choir ladies. as the Presbyterian session permit womanfolk fo sit with their heads uncovered. 4 THE TOWN WATCHMAN. mb pins A Gibford Safety Razor 'Prouse's Drug Store." will not | in chureli| Strops, | --~of a kind.

Singapore, July 8.~--A verdict of guilty has been returned against Mrs. Ethel Mabel Proudlock, who was charged with having murdered William Crozier Stéward, a mine manager, at Kuala Lumpur, on the night of April 23rd. - The court sentenced Mrs. Proud- lock to' death, but promises to for: ward to the authorities a recommen- dation to mercy. The trial lasted ten days, and the evidence showed that Mr. Steward had visited the Stone Rubber estate on the day of the tragedy, and refused an in- vitation "to dinner, alleging that he had an appointment at Kuala Lum- pur. Hé dined that evening with a friend at an hotel, but left his dinner at nine o'clock; saying that he had an appointment, Mr. Steward proceeded in a rikshaw to Mrs. Proudlock's house, where he found the prisoner alone. The rikshaw collie, who waited the grounds, stated that shortly afterward he heard two shots, and saw Mr. Stew- ard staggér down the veranda steps, and after tottering twenty-five paces fall, uttering one groan. He then saw the woman descend the steps and walk toward the body. The coolie became frightened and ran toward the gate. While there heard three or four more shots. Mrs. Proudlock, in the witness box, stated that Mr. Steward, after a brief talk, attempted a gross familiarity and said : "You lovely girl. | you," and added some oulrageous words, A struggle ensued, and the prisoner stated that Mr. Steward turned off the electric light. She tried to reach the switch, but found her husband's revolver under her hand. In her excitement she fired once, not .in- tending to hit Mr. Steward, but to get clear of him, The prisoner declared that after this she became unconscious and lost her memory. She only came to after find ing herself on the veranda with the revolver in her hand. She threw it down and told a servant to call her husband, who was dining with a friend, On her husband' retry, she cried "Blood, blood," and "lI have shot a an" Pressed by her husband, she stated that it was Mr. Steward. The police and a doctor were immedi- ately summoned, and the medical ex- aminer showed that hll six barrels of the revolver had been fired, and that there were six bullet wounds, three of them fatal : i It was shown in evidence that' Mr. | Steward"s body was found clad in the mackintesh he was wearing when he entered 'the house. - The medical evi- dence was vonflieting. # After Sixty- Five Years.
