The gulf between poverty and affluence is not as great as may be visualized in the experience of George F. Baker who began as a $2-a-week grocery boy and now has an income of approximately $22.80 a minute. Mr. Baker may have more or less than the $300,000,000 at which his fortune is rated by.people who assume to know but probably do not. However, that much money in- vested at 4 per cent. per annum would return $12,000,000 a year, a tidy sum in an old fashion of speech. But the $2 a week which he received at the beginning of his business career is much more interesting than the flow of wealth into his coffers now that he has attained to the venerable age of 84 years. Seventy years ago when Mr. Baker got his first job $2 was rated as real money, It was that, About that time a young man whose income was no more than $6 a week could com- tract marriage with confidence that his family would not want for ade: quate support, The purchasing : and economically with the country to | increasing use is only |all around evidences that those who one more indication that our stand- | are willing to work and have natural | tween Great | That is, of course, a far-fetched idea. of peculiar interest to this country. | | known its desire for direct represen- | §oVernment refuses to ratify a treaty, | of the United | in the making of which this country Final confirmation of the | had no part is no excuse for jump-| appointment has been for a month (10g to the conclusion that Canada | | Professor | ©f its responsibility as.a nation in | | Smiddy, and of word from Washing- | the great ambassador would | The people in this country are still | e to the United States. iré=| as loyal to the Empire as they have | land thus enjoys the unique privilege | been since the United Empire Loyal- of being the first of the British do- | ists settled on its barren acres rather minions to be directly represented at | than remain under a foreign flag.. | ment of a similar Canadian official at | attitude, | the capital of the United States.

During the past few days Canada h been bitterly assailed in the British press because of the attitude taken by its government on the recti- fication of the Lausanne Treaty be- Britain and Turkey. | Many of the newspapers have taken this to refusal to have anything to do with this treaty to mean that there is danger of Canada seeking separation from the British Empire. as is Looking at the situation from this | side of the Atlantic, it is hard to see | any cause for apprehension on this! score.

The Hudson's Bay Com- pany had agreed to Selkirk's plan of settlement at Fort Garry, With the second party of settlers had come} Governor Semple, a British officer, | whose duties were tc guide and pro- | téct the Scottish emigrants, He was | tco vigorous a character to conciliate i the hostile elements about him. The | half-breeds who benefited trade with the Nor'-Wexiers, bellev- | ed the coming of settlers would drive out the fur-bearing animals upon | which they depended for a livelihood, | and so decided to wipe out the new- | comers. On this day in 1816 they attacked Fort Douglas, which had been established by Governor Seni- ple, and murdered him and twenty- one of his men. They threatened a massacre if the remainder of the people resisted them. Men, women and children were then turned out to wander as exiles on the prairie, while the bodies of the dead were ieft to wolves and dogs. The half- breeds, in the war paint and trap- pings of the Indians, with which they had adorned themselves for the slaughter, gloated over their victory, in the living quarters of the unfor- tunate Highlanders. Five years later, however, the North-West Company, was destined to become absorbed into its powerful rival, the Hudson's Bay Company. | But Canada has | She | does not wish to be involved in quar-| rels regarding which she knows noth- | ing and in which she has no part. That is the explanation of the stand taken by the Canadian government in regard to the Lausanne treaty, and it is a justifiable one. That it should arouse fears in the minds of some newspapers and public men in Great Britain simply shows how little Can- ada is understood on the other side of the Atlantic, EE -------- KINGSTON IN 1851 Viewed Through Our Files Common Schools of Kingston. Feb. 17.--(Items from the report of a special committee appointed to report on the character of the com- mon schools and teachers through- out the city). But your committee must not dis- guise the well-founded opinion that neither the zeal of this board, the application of pupils nor the dili- gence of the paid servants of the peo- ple can be of much value unless we succeed in procuring suitable school accommodation. No ome can teach, no child can learn, if exposed to a current of air from every side of a building, while the thermometer ranges from 20 to 25 degrees below zero. In the crowded apartments where children of all ages are pack- ed in their seats as close as one's fingers, the case is no better. Sick- ness and disease and a total aver- sion to study must, in such instances, be expected as the natural result.
