Smaliplece U. 8 New York Frank Frank Mantgor, 1 RECALLING THE CRUSADES. The fight going on to-day is lke the battle of the Crusaders. . Since ~ the Orusaders times haye changed and circumstances have changed, but principles are still the same as they were. The Lattle of the Crusades was that of Christian Europe against the Infidel, who had already van- quished the Orient. To-day, gentle- men, the enemy is not Islamism, it is Pan-German which, with great. er arrogance, to get domina- tion from the North Sea to Bagdad, and to establish a Teutonic hegemony to dominate the world. In the Cru- sades all who could bear arms went to fight in that sacred cause. Are thére any among us now who. will remain indifferent before this arro- gance, many times more atrocious than the arrogance of Islamism? If there 'are any, for my part, I am not one of them---S8ir Wilfrid Laurier at Montreal, ' The Toronto conference of the Me- thodist Church demands national re- glstration. For this it must wait awhile, apparently. CLEAN-UP OF $50,000 The Auditor-General of the Do- minion has been likened to a police- ' man whose duty it is to protect the public treasury from those who would plunder it. He has had a hard time of it, because everyone who is tricky with the public accounts seeks to thwart and deceive him in every way he can. How he has. been treated--the shabby, the cynical, and the offensive way--is made abund- antly clear by the blue book which annually gives the correspondence between him and the niinisters of the crown and the heads of public depart- ments over doubtful accounts. What a time he has had particul- arly before the Davideon Commission with respect to the ammunition which the Department of Militia sold, through Allison, to the Admiralty. Mr. Fraser bad his suspicions. He is always suspicious when he is looking into deals with which the alleged "giant of business," Col. Allison, has to do. The Auditor-General had rea- son to believe that Allison made five dollars per thousand rounds out of the sale, but he could not for a while produce the evidence. He could not reveal the source of his-information, but he believed it to be reliable. Mr. Freser adopted the unexpected method of addressing the British Government upon the subject, and Bonar Law, who investigated the cise, has cabled to Mr. Fraser to say that the Admiralty paid twenty-five dollars per thousand rounds for 'the ammunition to Col. Allison, and the profit of the middleman was five dol- lars per thousand rounds, or about $50,000. Sir Sam Hughes knew about this sale. He approved of it. 'Did he know what it meant to his particular friend? The marvel ls'that Toronto people 'should stand for the abusive ad- dresses of Niemeyer, the recruiting service. One is surprised that the Toronto officers do not see this. i s-- . DEMOCRATS IN ACTION. . The Democrats of the United States, thousands of them, have ar- forced galety---that is gaiety without a substantial foundation--a very de- pressed feeling in the party. It was expected that the Republicans would have another serious difference of opinion, that there would be two can- didates in the field, and that the Democrats would: have a guarantee of "another four years of rule in Washington." © Alas, this dream dis- appeared in a night. Mr. Wilson will be re-nominated for the presidency, and Mr. Marshall for the vice-presidency. Consid _|ing that the Americans are particu- larly fond of titles, it is a disadvan- tage that the first citizen of the land, the man who fills a position as an- alogous with that of king or emperor, should be addressed as "Mr." But it accords, so far as Mr. Wilson or Mr. Marshall is concerned, with the Jef- fersonian simplicity which is a dis- tinguishing feature of the American Democrat. Plain Mr. Wilson will not have an opponent in the party. He will not have even the excitement of a bluff opposition, and it is regret- table. Publicity counts or pays. The last time he was a candidate there were fifty-nine ballots and fifty- nine separate and distinct explosions of oratory between the ballots. This time there will be hardly enough of enthusiasm to keep the delegates awake, unless Mr. Bryan, who hov- ers around as a sort of pirate king, is allowed to dash in among the dele- gates, unheralded and uninvited, and create a commotion. He can do it. Will he get the chance?" "He cannot speak without consent, and this he cannot get. He is regarded disdainfully, and as the evil genius of the party. The platform? It will be one of pure Americanism, of preparedness, and Mr. Wilson will have no diffi- culty in championing it since the most of it will be his own beautiful handiwork. It will be adopted by the convention first, probably to-day, and to-morrow (Thursday) the nomi- nation will be made amid the blare of trumpéts and the beating of party tom-toms, Then the party ma- chine will be put in operation in ev- ery state, with a tremendous expen- diture of energy and of money, until the frosts of November cool Mr. Wil- son's ardour, and, like the flowers, he fades away for a season. EDITORIAL NOTES. "Let who may be the servant of the state, in civil or military life, so long as I am its broker." The song in essence, of that most fortunate man, the special friend of the Mini- ster of Militia. The soldiers are voting in Nova Scotia. Will the return of the Mur- ray Government be regarded as a condemnation of Canada's war de- partment? So it would appear, or Sir Sam Hughes would not be in Nova Scotia at this particular time, Sir Robert Borden, in accepting Senator Landry's res"gnation as the Senate Speaker, said he could not agree with some of Mr, Landry's ex- pressions. It was hardly expected that he would since they reflected upon the Premier and his Govern- ment. The Hamilton Herald finds fault because Alltson is picked out for special attention on account of hi broking, because his patriotism is on the dollar and cent basis. Why not get after the men who are higher up, asks the Herald? Well, why not? Who are "they" anyway? The anxiety of the Minister of Militia is excusable when the soldiers of Nova Scotia are voting in the pro- vincial election. The vote is, of course, by ballot, and the machinery of the election is not under the direc- tion of the federal government or any of its ministers. That is a consola- tion, - { PUBLIC OPINION | Are You Not? (Hamiiton Times) «In the meantime we would like to hear from Grand Duke Nicholas. Found Its Place.

Procrastination is the habit of put- ting off until the middle of next week what should have been done yester- day morning. It is one of the worst habits known to the human race, be- ing exceeded in deadliness only by the practice of curing a cold in the head by drinking lemon extract by the pint. Some of our ablest scientists and medical men, who have made a care- ful study of the subject, declare that procrastination is caused by a germ which is a bleod relative of the hook- worm germ. However, procrastina- tion dan be cured if taken in time, while the hook-worm fever is harder to shake off than a land agent on a commission basis. It is the sacred duty of parents to watch closely for the first traces of uninterrupted pro- crastination on the part of their chil- dren, and when it appears in a pro- nounced form it should be removed with a relentless hand and a blunt shingle. Many a business man has been ruined for life because his par- ents failed to extract the procrastina- tion from his system in early youth, with the result that he never paid a book -account until the interest had eaten up the principal. / There are times when procrastina- Rippling ng Wax, of Cabbages and Kings." 3 tion becomes highly irritating to peo- ple who are of a punctual and order- ly nature, There is the man who is never able to get to his seat in the front row of the dress circle until the first act is. half over, when it takes him twelve maddening minutes to undress standing up, in the mean- time causing nine other people in the same row to arise and blot out the stage during, the duel scene. An- other smiling and urbane procrasti- nator is the member of ansimportant committee of the Commercial Club who fails to arrive and make a quo- rum until everybody wishes he had been run over by a beer truck. No- body would object té6 a certain amount of genteel procrastination if the party indulging in it would pro-| crastinate on his own time. On some occasions procrastination can be said to be a good thing. The business man who procrastinates buying a line of blue-sky securities until the promoter dies of mortifica- tion of gpirit and slow starvation will never have to mortgage a steam- heated home to make up for his hur- ry. If we would all procrastinate a little more on the needless extrava- gances, we would be able to retire earlier in life and enjoy some scen- ery that doesn't grow around home.
