In the coming provincial election ampaign one issue will be supreme, hat « Bisye is definite, inavituble, d | y drawn. It is so framed and 50 presented that choice must be e. It allows for no evasion, no die course, Other nd followers in the legislature and throughout the province. But it is not, or it ought pot to be, a distinc- five and decisive question in party politics. It is above all things else a people's guestion. It appeals-to men not as liberals or conservatives, but as citizens, It involves funda- mental social, éepnomic, and indus- 'trial considerations. . It has to do with the essential moral forces and religious motives. The organized Jiguor traffic with the licensed bar- room as it one great agent, is an un- digguifed menace to the social order and an enemy to every legitimate human industry. For this reason it is always and everywhere a people's problem. * Because the barroom is at root a people's problem it Is immovably a problem for the church. And all the religious denominations in Ontario have frankly made it their problem. Without reservation" they have pro- + nopneced against the open bar. Be- fore the name of N. W. Rowell as Hberal leader was heard of in On- tario (he recoguized leaders of the churches and their supreme courts and representative convens tions condemned the liquor traffic, denounced its evils, and demanded of the goyerAment that its licensed bar be utterly and immediately abol- ished, .

It is the policy upon which all the churches hive stood and are standing in fight- ing the evils of the traffic. When the fight comes on it will not be a * fight between the men on the gov- ernment side of the house and thé men on this side of the house; but "the real issue in the next election in this province will. be this: Shall the tganized liquor forges of the pro- wince triumph over the organized £0! of ,our common Christianity vg the line of the policy which k Christian forces themselves e formulated 1' " From that clearly-drawn issue * there is for the churches, and for the men who support the policy of the churches, no escape.

The islands are governed under the same laws as the penia- Sula, except that since 1852 (heir ports have been free. Under this law of the free 'ports only alcohol, chocolate, coffee, sugar, spices, tea and tobacco are taxed, and much of the prosperity of the province is due to the freedom of trade under its provisions, but each municipality can and does levy consumption taxes which increase the cost of living. Though the islands lie almost within the tropics, their climate is £0 modified by sea and high moun- tains that it is one of the most equ- able and delightful in the world, at- tracting each winter many thousands of tourists and health seekers, whose expenditures contribute largely to local prosperity. The rainfall is slight, but the scarcity of water has been largely overcome by the dis: covery 'of underground supplies. The soil is entirely volcanig, respond- ing well to cultivation, and the loca- tion of the archipelago makes its ports maritime crossroads and stop- ping places for many ships.'

J. Done- van; of Fort Covington, about four miles from here, has received word from Ludlow, Colorado, informing him of the death of his eldest brother in the disastrous strike riot war in Colorado. His whereabouts were un- known for years, as he was not in the habit of writing, having been gone about thirty-five years.

Mr. Shipman sued to secover £3.90 gam- ages and Mr. Phin estimated his loss at $2,000. The defendant contended at the outset that it was a case for the admiralty court, but the plaintiff thought otherwise.

'These words, written by Robert Louis Stevenson, hang above the desk of H. Gordon Selfridge, head of the enormous store th Oxford street, London, and they provide the keynote of the character of the man, who, starting life as a shop sweeper; | would be regarded by most people as made such good use of his opportunj- | the flimsiest of all excuses. t ties that by the time he was thirty 'inet reorganization is an eventuality he was partner in the Marshall Field | that would provide some reasonable store, in Chicago--a store which has garned joint fortunes foryits owners amounting 'to over $500,000,000. Mer Selfridge is a man who belives in maxims, and he has framed a num- ber for his own guidance..; They cer tainly point the way to success for the young business man. Here are a few of his favourite ones: "The cult of thoroughness is one of the strongest factors in success." "If an assistant has received in- | structions to perform a certain task he should try to find even a betfer way than that he has been told." "Imagination shonld prove one of the greatest assets." 'Personality is a very important factor. A man of distinet personal- ity is the successful man of busi- ness.' "Printer's ink is one of the most potent factors in the world to-day, and advertisers must aet on the old principle, 'If at first you don't suc- ceed, try, try, try again.' "Spasmodic use gf printer's ink is money wasted. , The best advertiser in the world is the kaiser. He gets more for less money than any man I know. He has made it his business; scientifically and carefully watches for publicity, and does it with won- derful skill. If he were a business man he would be a 'daisy.' Justice Joseph P.
