Friday, May 5th,1905. "American Approval of Laurie'r. A short time ago the British Colum- bia legislature said that Japanese immi grunts should not enter that province; Sir Wilfrid Laurier said they should, and the British American, of Chicago, thus expresses its approval of the stand taken by the Premier: . “ Sir Wilfrid Laurier has a full sense of the Imperial obligations resting: upon him. No sooner was the anti-Japanese legislation of the British Columbia local assembly passed, than he at once assured the Chief Consul of Japan at Ottawa that the law would be disallowed. it. would be unfriendly, indeed, to allow an act forbidding,' the immigration of Jap- anese into British Columbia,or any part of Canada, when Japan and Great Brit- nit] are sworn allies. It is a pity the British Colombians did not see this, or they allow a party of agitators who have, it is alleged, their headquarters on this side of the line in Seattle and Denver, to dictate the policy of the legislature in this particular. A nation whose peo- ple show so many virtues as the Japan- esc would scarcely expect to see her im- migrants refused as unworthy cf admit- tance into western lands.” _Pub|ic Ownership. An exchange says : “ There is this great difference in ft).- vor of municipal ownership; corruption is not an incurable disease: it can be remedied by heroic treatment under public ownership in a single year, but under private ownership it may linger for a generation. Not. only so, but. what is still more to be deplored, a corrupt body of aldermen may fasten upon a town or city, under private corporate rule, shackles which a century of re- pentunt efibrt will fail to break. The point is, that utilities of a public na- ture, such as waterworks, sewage, light- ing, telephones, street railways, etc., of- fecting public health, transportatien and trolled by the citizens whosc interests they affect. They are in their very ua~ ture a public trust, and responsibility for their administration is not at an end because they are given into private hands.” Though public ownership under the much better than the private ownership of public utilities; and. zts‘311alf a leaf is beur-r than no bread,” we are glad to see that the popular feeling in favor of such being owned and run by munici~ politics is steadily gaining strength. The chief objection to private owucrship arises from the germ of agreed that seems to exist in almost every human breast, to spring up into a veritable Upas tree that kills all the Christian virtues. No matter how much money the average man has, he is greedy for more, and will do anything that. won’t land himin jail to get itâ€"totully regardless of what the consequences may be to his fellow creatures. Take, for instance, a street railway. It may be enormously profit;- able and making its owners for richer than they ever expected or hoped to be; but what of that? They want more; and, in order to swell their gains, will not even give the public the accommo- dation and safeguards it is entitled. to, and don’t care a straw how many of its throats get sore, how many of its limbs get broken, or how many of its lives are crushed Out. If corporations had‘sou-ls, instead of' beingéas Turks thinkwomen areâ€"totally destitute of them, there would be comparatively little-need for public ownership ;. but, as. they are aoulless,,thc sooner they are deprived of the control of public utilities,.the better for everybody but themselves. m ‘ 'ChickeniRLâ€"illetin. The press bulletins issued from the communication, should be directly con- ' present capitalist system is for inferior : to what it will be under Socialism, it is 5 and is ready, under favorable conditions, ' out doubt of great value to the farming .community, and we should like to pub- lish them in their entirety, but cannot afford the necessary space. One of the latest is by Mr. (or Prof.) W. R. Gre- ham, of the poultry department, and relates to the natural and artificial in- cubation and breeding of chickens. Part of the information it contains is known to almost every farmer’s wife, and a good deal more of it is, without doubt, given by the manufacturers of any incubator or breeder that may be purchased ; but _ the concluding para- graph, which contains two or three val- uablc “ pointers." is as follows : “In artificial incubation the one es- sential point is a good machine. Judg- ing from our cooperative experiments in runnin; incubators, it does not mat. her much where the machine is placed so long as there is abundance of fresh air and no direct droughts. I would suggest that operators follow the man- ufacturer’s directions closely, at any rate for the first two or three hatches. As regards temperature, our experiments have shown that a larger proportion of ' healthy chicks is hatched uta temper- ature of 101 to 103 degrees than at higher temperatures. Chickens hatch- ed in an incubator are reared in. a breeder or with broody hens. They. are taken from the incubator in from .24 to 48 hours after hatching. and if they are to be raised artificially. are temperature should be maintained for the first week, and after that reduced five degrees each week._ The general Care so for as feed and drink is concern- cd is much the some as for chickens raised with their natural mothers, but some special attention must be given them for the first two or three days to teach the chickens where to gate get Warm after coming outside the breeder. Fire at the Falls. On Monday night Mrs. Samuel May- bce’s house on North street,‘ south of the river, was destroyed by fire, which there can be no doubt originated in someway from the cookstovc in the kitchen. On Friday Mrs. Maybcelwent to visit one of her sons, who is working a farm she owns in Fenclon, and had not returned, and the only occupants of the house in the village were her son William and Willis Swift, who has been a boarder at Mrs. Maybee's for some months. About 10 o’clock the two young men went home and lit a fire to ing of which they went to bed; and a little after midnight awoke tofind the house in'fiamcs. Grabbing their clothes, they climbed through one of the front windows on to the roof of the verandah, from which they dropped to the ground, where they dressed themselves; and the two suits they were and a bicycle which one of them had left under the veran- dah were the only articles saved, the building and all its contents “ going up in smoke." The alarm bell was rung and some neighbors assembled, but by that time the fire had, made suclrhecd- way that nothing could be done to check it, and it was evidently useless to take the engines out. The house was a fair sized frame building, a story and a half high, and in good condition, and con- tained a considerable quantity of fur- niturt‘i. There was an insurance of, dwellingr and its contents were worth. w 7W0 Big Days. Tuesday, the 23rd inst, will be “Empire Day,” and we see. that Hon. Dr. R: A. Payne, Minister of .Educaâ€" tion. has addressed a circular-to the in- spectors, inviting theirco-operatien in having it' duly celebrated» in all the schools. He says :'_- . “ The subjom is especially important at a-.timc when the British nation is at peace with the world, and when Canada is enjoying alurge measure of prosper? ity due, to a great extent, to the devel- opment of'Our resources, and the growth ’of intellectual and moral aspirations amougcur people. The principles-cf patriotismoiostercd in the minds of our young people should“ be such as will cause them ,to- have an intelligent know- ledge of these forces which have made the British nation what it is today.” The inspectors willpf course agree, and it would be no use'for the teachers and pupils to object, even if they felt inclined to do so. How the day is to be celebrated is not stated 5; but it ap pears that the inculcation of patriotism is the object of. the celebration, and, as patriotism. isn’t one of the subjects in- cluded iri the. school curriculum, we don’t know how the teachers will obey the Ministerial. mandate. But, of course, they are all patriots, end as “out of. the fulncss of the heurttho mouth spectrum,” thcy.‘ll nodoubt find omething to say; about this. broad Dominionâ€"touching, amongst other things, upon the new autonomy bill and the separate school question, about which it is probable the. children know placed in a. breeder at 95 degrees. This boil some eggsfor supper, after partak-' $500, but we have not: heard what the- very little. " Empire Day ” is all very Well in its way,_but it doesn’t stand as high in people’sâ€"especially young people’sâ€"- estimation as the day following, May 24th, which is “Victoria Dav," and a puplic holiday. Personallyfwe don't care as much for holidays as we did in the long ago, but we welcome them on the boys’ and girls' account, and wish there were more of them; as there might be without anyone being the poorer. Our villagers have not been very good holiday keepers in the past, but we were glad to see that all the stores were kept closed on Good Friday, and of course they will be on Wednes- day, the 24th inst. Personals. Miss Irene McDougall returned on Tuesday to the Whitby Ladies' College. Miss Emily Hand left on Monday to spend a few days with her relatives in Lindsay. I Mrs. Bert Fee and her two children, of Lindsay, are visiting at Mr. Fred Jackett’s. Mrs. Herbert Sandford returned on Tuesday from a visit to relatives in the city of New York. ' I Mr. C W. Burgoyne was at Toronto on business this week, going on Wed- ncsday and returning yesterday. - Mr. Bert Townley went on a hiuhly successful business trip to Hunts’iiille last week. leaving on Wednesdav and returning on Friday. ‘ - Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Bell and two children, of {lawk Luke, Mum, have been at. the Falls visiting relatives since Friday, and will remain until near the end of this month. . . - Mr, H. W. Mordcn, of our Bank staff, was one of thesingcrs at the Jap- anese Tea given by the ladies of Lind- say, on Friday last, in aid of the Ross Memorial Hospital. We are glad to hear that the Tea was a great success financially, and are quite sure that Mr. Mordcu was'as great a success vocally. Powles’ Corner ( Correspondence of the Gazette.) The contract for the putting in of the fence posts at the school yard was awarded to Mr. W. Cresswell, and he pushing the work along with great Vigor. I Mr. W. H. Powlcs finished the dc- hvcry of nursery stock and seed for Chase Bros. last Monday. Last Friday he made a trip to Pleasant Point by way of Lindsay and delivered $10 worth and was, home, before dark. About 45 miles in that trip.“ The de- llvery man has the activity that his. father had away back in the sixties. Mrs. W. Marsh has gone to the Lind- say hospital owing to a serious illness. It is to be hoped that her trouble will. be of short duration. The school opened. again after the- Ecster holidays. with forty pupils for a start. There is a good prospect. for a. large attendance. Miss Ad‘u Hill and Miss Mabel Her- ron spent ufew days visiting in Mari-- posa. Everyone is wishing. for warm wca: ther. Vegetation has made but little“ growth, and the sun has been shining- so little of late that it has not been». necessary to Wear a veil. A Moron STRUCK.â€"â€"â€"-During the vic.. lent storm on Wednesday afternoon, one-~- of the two motors in the Sandford fac~ tory was struck by lightning, and so badly damaged that it had to be sent away for repairs; in consequence of. which part of the machinery was shut down, but it will-probably be running» again to-dcy or to-morrow. u AOOIDENT.â€"On Tuesday last Robert Sprouts, one of the employees in tho Sandford factory, had the inside of thew- li’ttlc finger ofhis left hand rather bad-u ly out while working at the sand-drum. H's went to Dr. Wilson, who put three stitches in the edges of the wound code then bandaged the finger, which will no - doubt soon be fit for us; again. .
