The Lampman no- tices a desire on the part of people to shout for the west. Let them do a litle booming of their own home town and help it along, instead of buying lots around Cglgary and other western cities, and after a time being forced to relinquish them to the tax man. H that young Indian whois under sentence of death at Sarnia for mur- der is proved to be innocent the twelve good men and true who com- posed the jury that tried him will surely have need to be ashamed of thelr verdict, which could pot have had a good foundation, the Lampman thinks. Circumstantial evidence has caused the death of a good many in- nocent men. Long ago the Lamp man determined that if he was a jue or in a murder trial, and when eon cumstantial evidence was all that conld be produced, he would never copvict a man on the kind of evi dence that was given cven in the Crippen trial, no mattér whether he thought that the prisoner was guilty. There is no need for a strike of the carpenters, says the Lampman. These men a year ago gave notice that they would expect higher wages, and in view of this all that the con- tractors had to do was to contract on the basis of the increase. Since 1 | . | HECTOR LAWRENCE, | A Scatcs-Canadian raif-miler miler who Is expected to break cords in Toronto and Winnipeg this season DEAR FOOD IN JAPAN. "Half the Children Suffering from Want." A public meeting at Tokio re- cently discussed the prevailing high price of rice. Amongst these wno took part in the discussion were several members of parliament and Count Okuma. The veteran states- wan came to the meeting direct for a tour through some of the poorer quarters of the city, where he had been to investigate the pau- per condition. He said: "The middle and upper classes really know nothing about the high price of rice and the misery it is causing. The average monthly in- come of the people I have just been gecing is Y.17 per family, or about twenty-five cents per day. The av- erage monthly expenditure is Y.25 It is impossible at the present time for the lower classes to earn suffi- cient for their bare needs, and crime is on the increase. The num- ber of convicts has increased by 60,000 to 80,000 in the last five years. One hall of the children are absolutely suffering from the want of food. x "Contrary to rule, the price of labour has not risen ¥ith the rise in foodstuffs, but has fallen, as the severe competition between the un- employed forces them to. accept work for bare pittances. The ab- olition of the duty on rice is need- ed, but the authorities refuse to comply or listen to the cry of the people. The price of rice will soon be Y.30 koku, and wheat is ex- pected to leap to Y.20. A direct ap- peal from thé people is necessary in order to right the oppressive conditions." There is a great amount of uns rest in the country. It is a mater of serious consideration whether this cannot be better allayed by the reduction of taxes on food than by religious congresses or charitable collections later. BURNING OF THE IONA. A Remarkable Coincidence That is Recalled by F. E. Hall, of M ral Oswego Palladium. The crew of the steamer Iona which was burned in the lake Sat- urday night, léft Henderson ' "for Montreal Monday night, John 8. Parsons, of this city, arranging for the nsportation at the request of the qQwner, F. E. Hall of Mont- real. In a letter to Mr. Parsons, Mr. Hall calls aitemtion to the fact that ten years . ¥ 18th, the Iona burned to ' the anthracite raglons was ed off, is regarded as a toincidence. {an announcement has been nade «ut a possible strike the Lampman would suggest to the board of trade that ¥t step in before the fatal day and try and prevent a hold-up of build ing operations in 'the town. let it close the stable door, as it were, be- fore the horse is stolen, and not wait until the town is in the throes of a strike. ------ The other evening the attention of the Lampman was drawn to some members of the 14th regiment in uni- form who were proceeding from the armofries with umbrellas to protect thémselves from the falling showers. He consulted officers about the mat. ter and found that it was an .un- written law that no soldier should over use an unibrella as a protection A rifle or a cuné is ths only thing he should carry. It will be in order for some one wm the old 14th to {give the men a little lecture on how to "scoot" home through the rain without getting wet. THE TOWN WATCHMAN. Your Summer Vacation. "The Seashore," a forty-eight page booklet with a striking cover and more than 100 illustrations has jupt appeared describing the New rondon district of Connecticut on the line of the Central Vermont railway which promises to be an even more popular resort for Can- adians in general and Montrealers in particular than was Old Orchard in its palmiest days. Anyone who is worried over the annual '"'sum- mer vacation problem" will find interest if not inspiration in the oontents. Just how varied are the resourc- es of this new territory can be re- alized from the statement that they include deep sea fishing and bathing at New London; river boating om the Thames; salt water bathing and sand for the youngsters at Ocean Beach, Watch Hill, and Block Isl- and; as well as golf and tennis at Fisher's Island. New London is the scene every year of the Har- vard-Yale boat race which corres- ponds in America to thé historic contests "etween Oxford and Cam- brdige Universities on the older Thames of the British Isles, and this sporting event attracts lavs{4 erowds of college men and '"'sum- mer girls" to the sturdy sea port town.
