For water Arthur Jackson, John Paul, Robert J. Webster and Alfred W. Taylor (acclamation). » It W. J. Gibson stands for the of fice of mayor, it is probable that W. J. Wilson will withdraw and leave a ¢lear field to him. [If this happens, Thomas I. Ellis will withdraw from being a candidate for reeve and leave a clear field to. W. J. Wilson, That will quite possibly leave an- other tussle for the deputy reeveship between Thomas I. Ellis and George A. Dowsley.

Rev. Enos Farnsworth performed the ceremony. The bride looked charming in a travelling dress of brown satin with gold trim- mings and carrying a bouquet 'of pink roses. After a dainty buffet lunch the happy couple left for a trip to To- ronto, Detroit, Buffalo and other western points. The numerous and costly gifts, including four cheques, attested to the popularity of the young people. The groom's gift to the bride was a handsome lavalliere. ---------- Airman is a Prisoner.

R fur setts to clear at sacrifice prices. time there has been little in common between the German God and the God of the Christian cominunions, since everything in Germany has been contem~lated by developing plcturesquely the idga of the old deities of the woods /and - the sky, who belonged to the Pagan civiliza- tion that preceded the conversion of he savage tribes to Roman Christ- anit' as the real deities of the hosen mation. Along with this curious cult 'went | devotion in art and literature to the inimal and the powerful that was al- nost beyond belief. Numerous traws.show which way the wind lew. Just as the cynical erection f two ugly churches in Berlin, one 'rench and the other German, by 'rederick the Great, in which he atber sniffed in a way that Voltaire 1ight have taught him" as if crying a plague on both your houses" hile seemingly a concession to re- iglon, was far from it, both being in he original form almost unusable $s houses of worship, so the cult of he Pagan "God of Germany' has )een carried on by the statesmen, aiilitary clique, poets and writers, intil there is no region or town or 7illage that l.as not some suggestion if the cult as a feature. The very culminatiqu of it is indi- 'ated in Germany by the huge Leip- sic battle monument in which tle human figures gre of a superhuman type, monstreus and revolting, and particularly, by the Bismarck stat- utes and towers that are features of their hilitop landscapes all over Ger- many . The latter, built in a primi- tive style, suggesting altars to Wotan and Thor, being used on Bismarck's birthday as huge fire towers, as if the devotees were invoking Baal. And they drive home on the merest child, the idea that what Bismarck stood for in his need of faith and his lack of any public morals is quite the cor- rect thing, and to be admired and to be followed by every one. Not only that, but the very cult of the Wagner operas and the Nibelun- gen legends have also been adroitly used to convey to the German people the. idea tha! they are to-day them- selves the incarnation of these old heroes and demigods. And n>tiing is more common in mural decora- tions than the effort to identify Ger- mans with the Brunnhildes and Sieg- frieds of the past, and many a child in Germany might be letter-perfect as to Wotan and Alberish while pos- sibly somewhat hazy as to what hap- pened in the manger at Nazareth, What, indeed, Germany built up in this state religion is known as heno- theism. But to find it in its original rated form one must go back to the days of the Babylonians and the As- syrians who exalted the tribal deities as natiopal gods and believed they were-all powerful, also becoming convine®d that anything they might do in wartime had the approval of these tribal gods down to acts of the most fiendish and heinous inhuman- ity, which they didn't hesitate to leave on vecord in cuneiform or carv- ed on imperishable atane. Following their example Germany bas exaltetl its own tribal deity and in this war has shown the same cal- ousness toward the suffering of others as history has recorded of a Sargon or a Sennacherib. Double-faced Magyars, The role played by the Magyars in the Austrian oppression of the Jugo- Slavs deserves to be better known. The Magyars for a long time duped public opinion in Eurove and Am- erica, repfesenting themselves as a liberal and chivalrous people, In reality there is no nationality so un- scrupulous fn the oppression of others and so clever in concealing their true nature. The Magyars, like the god Janus, are double-faced; before foreigners they pose as a de- mocratic and liberal nation, while at home it is admitted by Austrians that they are responsible for tyranny and denationalization. In consider- ing the attitude of Hungary, it should be remembered that of its 19,264,600 inhabitants, there are not more than 8,742,300 Magyars, while there are 10,5612,30. or over fifty-four per cent. non-Magyars. Yet the Magyars, in spite of this, affirm that their country is homogeneous and "national," and they do not re- cognize any nationality but their own. Even the democratic party of the well-known Michel Carolyl knows only the "Hungarians." Now, these Magyars, who hold in their power ten million non-Magyars, of whom there are six million Jugo- Slavs, have declared themselves ready to make any sacrifice in sup- porting the German plans in order to maintain their own domination. They have helped Germany and Austria to crush Serbia, and they are continu- ing their anti-Slav policy with the object of preventing Jugo-Slav udi- fication, by which they would lose half of their present possessions.

If a Large Hostelry Was Built on the Golden Lion Block, Kingston Would be a Better City. From the Oinadian Courier I scratch my head, I stroke. my beard, I look at the.bowl of my good old friend, "Brier Pipe," and again I say--""What is the matter with my town?" Is there anything the matter with Kingston? (Kingston, the birthplace of Gov- ernors, 'Premiers, statesmen. 1s there?--is there? "Yes," I soliloquize. is." "But," I say to my pipe--'What it? = Is it location? « "No; God gave Kingston the finest location in the province, if not on the continent." Is it the power question?. "No, 1 -think Kingston has solved that mat- {ter in connecting up with the | Hydro." : Is it labor? "No, labor seems.to be perfectly satisfied in Kingston." Is it education? 'No; centainly not, with one of the finest univer- sities on the continent, dominated | all through its career by men of the MacKerras, Grant, Gordon. type: a military college second to nome on the continent, not to mention numer- ous other colleges and schools of learning." Is it religion? "No, it has church- es and preachers of the finest cali- bre." Is it politics? 'No more than any other city." : ' Well, what is it? What does Kingston want most--to put her ahead of other cities of her size? And as I puff, the smoke takes on the shape of an attractive rotunda, neat marble pillars, uniformed at- tendants; I see a blook, three sided, with paved streets all around; I see a location for one of the most up- to-date hotels in the country, all outside rooms, courtyard in the centre, tea room for ladies, grill- room and all the other things that g0 to make a hotel worth stopping at. I see from its roof-garden, four or five stories high, the finest view that can be obtained from any hotel in Ontario. I can follow the beautiful Rideau River, past the locks at Kingston Mills until it merges itself in the lakes, foliage, and skies of the dis- tant uplands. . I can see the majestic St. Law- rence losing itself in the wonderful Thousand Islands.

Such a view! Tourists! Well, would they 'net clamor for rooms in this "oasis," this pure, cool, sumnier air, ten degrees cooler than any other city in Eastern Can- ada? Travellers! Would they not en- deavor to make thelr week ends at this resting place? Conventions! You you picture a more heavenly ce, or suggest a more central? But, alas, it is a dream, (What is the matter with my town? The matter is that there is not en- ough nerve and backbone in the aldermen, either individually or col- lectively, to propose a civic-owned hotel in my city. The - matter is that they will all be dead and buried before they wake up to their great possibilities, The matter is solved if they will take the McRae block, for instance, and build an up-to~date hotel in this most beautiful -city.and run it, and if there is a deficit for a short time ---charge it up to the taxpayers in the municipal tax.

The province of Livonia bas the Gulf of Riga as its western boundary, and is bordered on the east by the Governments (States) & Petrograd, Pskov, and Vitebsk. More than 1,000 square miles of Livonia's territory is insular, however, includ- ing the islands of Oesel and Rundo, in the Gulf of Riga, while another 1,000 square miles is represented im that portion of Lake Peipus which belongs to the province. Nearly two- fifths of the remainder of, the terri: tory is forest land, while there are nearly a thousand small lakes, num- erous marshes and peat bogs and a considerable tract of sand dunes.on the Gulf cf Riga shore, so that the agricultural area is smaller than would at first appear. The cultivable lands of Lavonia are largely in the hands of wealthy nobles, the size of the average estate being nearly 10,000 acres. On these estates the most scientific farming implements are used and cultivation is. conducted according to the most modern methods. The chief products are rye, barley, oats, potatoes, and some wheat, hemp, and buckwheat. Among the chief industries of the province are woolen, cotton, fleur, flax, and saw mills, distilleries, brew- eries, soap, tobacco, and furniture works. » More than 100,000 persons eke out a livelihood in the fisheries of Lake Peipus and the Gulf of Riga. Although coins of the time of Alex- ander the Great have been found on the island of Oesel, the history of the province emerges from obscurity. not earlier than the eleventh century, when the Germans began to pene- [trate to this region. About the mid- dle of the twelfth century merchants from the powerful Hanseatic city of Lubeck reached the mouth of the River Dvina, and established trading posts in the vicinity of what is now Riga. These commercial pioneers were followed by emissaries of the Archbishop of Bremen, who began to preach Christianity to the semi-pirat- ical natives. Then came thé Order of the Brethren of the Sword, apostles who inculcated their relig- ious teaching with tke aid of steel. About the middle of the sixteenth century Livonia underwent a parti- tion, the Northern half being assim- flated by the growing power of Rus- sia and the Southern portion being annexed by Poland. When the war between Sweden and Poland was launched this unhappy province be- came the battleground of the warring armies, and a century later it was the scene of the triangular conflict of Sweden, Russia, and Poland. . By the treaty of Nystad, in 1721, the prov- ince was definitely assigned to Rus- sia. About 43 per cent. of the inhabi- tants of Livonia are Letts, while an almost equal number are FEsths, Eighty per cent. of the people are communicants of the Lutheran Church, In one particular Livonia out- shines every other province in -Rus- sia--in its public school system. It is estimated that nine-tenths of the children receive regular instruction in times of peace. Jap Restaurant Supervision. Mr. Shoda, Minister of Finance in Japan, has undertaken the role of the beneficeie Haroun er Reshid, Calif of Bagdad in the eighth century. With his son, Mr. Shoda visits the cheap restaurants of Tokio, known as sobaya (buckwheat rolls) on Ikiz- aka street, Hongo. TLey are of class similar to those known in Canadian cities as '"coffee-and-cake eats." The official and his son occupy their seats close to the counter, order two bowls of mori soba, the cheapest but most substantial course on the menu. The Japan Times quotes the Minister of Finance as commenting upon the tendencies of the time. He is of the opinion that "young men of the student class are inclined to indulge in too much use- less luxury. They pine to wear silk clothes and drink expensive rice- wines in fashionable restaurants." Mr. Shoda is quoted as having in- structed his son in the following language: "This sobaya where vividly reminiscent of my school days. More than twenty years ago, when I was at the University, this cheap joint was our Yawogen (one of the fashionaple restaurants of Tokio): Here we entertained 'our friends on their visits or return from vacations. Many very happy times have occurred here. I have brought you here that with me you niay cher- ish the dear memories of my younger days." Before fie had ended. the meal, The Times asserts, Mr. Shoda con- sumed eight bowls of mori soba. ---- ---------------- we are is No MAYOR TO THE RESCUE Figured in Lively Runaway at Noon on Thursday A horse attighed to the delivery sleigh of Mr, Ahearn, a grocer, be- came unruly on Barrie street at floon, on Thursday; and dashed off Barrie on to C) s pace, and threw the driver, a small boy, out on the road, and then tried to knock down a telegraph pole.
