Western Opinion of the Colonel. The following breezy criticism of the Minister of -Militia is reproduced from the Saturday Sunset, of Van- couver, B. C.: . This has been a great year for Van- couver. We have had a circus, a wild west show, and a visit from Colonel The Honorable Samuel Hughes, “ war lord,” all in the same season. The gods have been kind, indeed. There is nothing bashful about the Minister of Militia, and he spoke at some length on various occasions while on the Pacific Coast. There’s about the same amount of substance in one of the Colonel’s speeches as there is on .the insiderof a balloon. ‘But he'isan extensive talker. He is the original guaranteedntorun-without-winding-up ' conversationalisit, and it really is n’t his fault if .he'does n’t say anything. Heaven knows the" maul tries hard enough, andgat. sufficient length; Apparently the clergy have been telling the, Honorable Sam that sol- diers are wicked men. In an impas- sioned medley. of words, the other statement: “ I. want to tell the clergy of this country that the soldier is not a hired assassin. He does not create war. The men who do are the stock gamblers,- the newspaper men and the speculators.” _ wa‘we; hays, .tlielisource' of all trouble. over-ambitiOds legislators, misguided Egoveiinm‘ents and soldiers with unprincipled commanders, allow- ed to :run riot ovccfthe weak, are not figured inth'e-ciilcu‘lht‘ions of the-Min- ister of Militiax E‘ig‘enbeautiful w'om- ‘en, such. asifgelen dflTroy, have been known to‘sliaittz‘bloody. wars. .Ambi- tion, such'naisvi'ic‘ar‘ried, Alexander the ‘Great and Napoleonnto an attempt to conquer the world, {been the main cause of~war,si1ice the history of man- kind ; and, unless we are seriously mis- taken, war has been an institution an- tedating either newspapers or stock gambling} by two or three months at least... But this does not bother Coleâ€" ' nel Hughes when he starts out to make a speech. Nothing bothers him but a nervous chairman .vwhois liable to look at his watch at the proper moment. It -would be a ‘shame-to speak of this wâ€"‘qg‘m. .. treatment of the colonel. Every after- dinner speaker knows how hard it is for a man who has nothing to say to talk for several minutes, and it must be much worse when one’s duty to ene’s country makes it imperative to talk for seVei-ah hours, if there is any one left in the hall to talk to. gColonel Hughes is. forgiven, with the mere suggestion that-rho hire somebody that knows so‘methingenot necessarily a . scholar, but a man who at least knows somethingâ€"to write his speeches for him. There are some experts in Vic- toria, who write the speehes for the various cabinet ministers at critical moments, who’cOuld provide Colonel Hughes with some creditable samples. -‘ The pewers to? the Unitedi'States Senate Committee have been enlarged to include an inquiry into the financ- ing of the present campaigns of Tait, Wilson and Roosevelt. An investiga- tion into the financing of the "cam- paign of Euge’he‘V. Debs, the Socialist candidate, is notconsidered necessary. This fact alone ought to bring Debs a good many votes. The Late Canon French; Orillla Packet. On Monday, August 12th, 1912, enter- ed into rest, at Emsdale, in the Diocese of Algoma, the Reverend Canon W. H. French, who occupied the incumbency of Emsdale for the past seven years. The deceased, who came from England to Canada in the early seventies, was one whose sense of duty, and ' responsi- bility was the guiding principle of his life and conduct. He did faithful duty in several parishes, of which his longest pastorates were Goldwater and Emsdale. He was an excellent preacher, a faithful adviser, a good visitor. and a true pastor. Active to the very last, he died at the age of 74 years 8 months, after a short illness, leaving a loving family and an 1. night, he made'the following bright ' attached congregation. On Thursday evening the remains were taken to St; ' Mark's church, Einsdale, where Canon A. H. Allman, B.S.C., rector of Burk’s Falls, the Reverend A. W. Hazelhurst of Baysville, Rural Dean of Muskoka, and the Reverend E. J. Harper, ILA. rector of Huntsville, kept watch all night. Canon French was buried on Friday. Holy Cummunion was administered in the morning to the family of the de- ceased, and at 2 30 p. m. the funeral ser- vice took place in St. Mark's church, which was crowded to the doors. The following clergy were present: The Right Reverend Dr. 'l‘hornloe, Bishop of Algoma, the Rev. Canon A. H. Allman, the Rev. Rural-Dean llam-lhurst, the Rev E. J. Harper of Huntsville, the Rev. C. E. Emersun of Seguin Falls, the Rev. L. Sinclair of Novar, the Rev P. T. Bull of Powassan, Mr Palmer, student in charge at Emsdale, the Rev. E. R. All- men of Texas, U. S., and the Rev. W. H. A? French.rector of Fcnelon Falls, son of the deceased. The burial service be- gan with the hymn, Hear our Prayer, 0 Heavenly Father, composed by an old member of the family. The hearse was followed by the rolled clergy and the congregation to, the cemetery, where the Lord Bishop of Algoma, who came all the way from Manitoulin Island to at- tend, interred the remains, which were buried at the request of Canon French himself in the next plot to a predecessor in the parish, the Rev. Rural-Dean Chown. Winners in Field Crop Competition. Follewing is the result of the field crop competition of the Fenelon Agri- cultural Society. The grain was oats, and the judge Mr. A. P.

The continuous rain has pre- vented the cutting of grain, and the hauling in of what had been cut. A good deal of sprouting has resulted, and an otherwise bountiful harvest consider- ably damaged. The month of August has been the wettest on record since 1881, a period of thirty-one years. 0.â€" Warning to Duck Hunters.

A small but attentive audiencollsJ tencd to two very able addresses on the subject of Socialism on Friday evening at Day's Lakeviow grove. 'l‘hc speaker’s were Mr. E. J. Johnston and oar-Mayor" R. M. Deal of Lindsay. M r. N. Day was chairman. Mr. Johnston devoted most of his time to refuting the common assertion that all Socialists are atheists. lie himself had become a Socialist throng-h hearing): the Rev. J. Stitt Wilson’s lectures: He mentioned several clcrgymcn, some still in the ministry and some who gave no their pulpits to preach Socialism. llu quoted Leviticus 25th chapter and 23rd verse; Ecclesiastes 5 : ix ;‘ John 15 : xiii ;_ and I John 4 : 20, to show that Socialism was in accord with the teachings of scripture. Ministers in tho churcle did not preach from these texts. Refer: ring to the falling oil in" church attend- ance, he read James 2 : ii, ix, and rmiin- taincd that the churches to-day wore. respecters of persons, in violation of the scriptural injunction. He held that under present conditions it was impos- sible for men to live up to the teachings of the Bible, and that the churches were not combatting these conditions. This was the only quarrel Socialism had with religion. It had no quarrel with Chris- tianity. Socialism Would make it pos- sible for men to follow the golden rule. Mr. Johnston gave some startling figures showing the immense cost of war prop- arations and of loss of life in war, the latter totalling fifteen million lives since the year 1315. Mr. Real followed Mr. Johnston. He said that although there are Socialists who are atheists, there are also Grits and Tories, Democrats and Republicans, who are atheists, but the parties they belong to are not said to be atheistic. Socialism deals with economics, and has nothing to do with religion. 15,000,000 Socialists, of every crccd‘and color, throughout the world. A few years ago an avowed Socialist- was looked upon with suspicion, but the time had passed when anyone was ex- pected to apologize for being a Socialist. Wherever you find a Socialist you find a missionary. talking. The reason the shepherds of old saw the light was because they were, ex- ploited. There never was a revolution- ary movement that did not start with the poor. The ruling class to-day arc- contented. ’l‘hey v promise the tired workers rest beyond the river if they will only work contclitcdly for thom while here. The speaker once asked, a professor of history if a knowlcdgcof history was of any advantage to people. The profeSso'r said it was not, but that he was teaching modern ‘history. lie saic “ you must teach people to respect the law.” If all such professors hart been successful we would still have. chattel sav ry. Ye: rs 3-,:0 men wr-ic hung for stealing sheep, but the men. who stole the sheep pastures ware not punished. In the United States condi- tions were the same forty yc:ir:+.a-go;u$ they are in Canada lo-duy. When..,the West fills up we will have to stand amt fight it out as they are doing. in ennui?- balistic times it was good morals and good ethics to kill your fellow man and e-it him. When it was discovered that it “as: more profitable to “oil; h’m than to col him, it became gird morals an of good ethics to work him]; When clialtell slavery existed the man was put. on the block and sold to the highest bidder. Now the job is put on the block and: sold to the lowest bidder. Mr. Ben] said the inequality among his associates when a child made him a Socialist. Some had everything and some had nothing. He was one of four- hundred members of the Manufacturers." Association who visited the cotton mills; .of the United States. The conditions there were disgusting. lie was the only Socialist in the party, and he told the others the remedy, but they couldn't see it. Capitalists would have us believe that labor does not create all wealth, but labor does create all wealth. In feudal- ism the serf produced first his own living and then his master's. The slave did the same under chattel slavery. They received enough to live on and’ reproduce other slaves to take their places when they were worn out. That is all that the workers are getting to- dav. In about three hours they produce- their living, and the employer gets what they produce in the remainder of the- day. The ownership of the machinery givesithe capitalists the power- to do. this. A market mt be found’ fer the- surplns thus created. The workers can- not buy it, because they have not re- ceived wages enough to do 30L Hence we have what is called overproduction, but is really underconsumption. The v workers are destitute because they have created too much wealth. Socialism. would remedy this by giving the worker his full product. To show the farmersrwhore they wonld’ be in a short time, Mr. Beall referred to the Oilpull plow, which plows an acre every two minutes and fourteen sec-â€" ends. He also mentioned thé advice» given to the farmers some time ago by a certain gentleman, to the effect that they should economize by using cheaper cuts of meat. . ' The question of titles to land‘ was then touched on. and it was pointed out that :the original title deed from the 'Creator to the first purchaser had never been seen. Regarding interest, ill r. Real quoted Leviticus 25 : xxxvi ; Ezek. 18 : viii; and Amos 5 : xi ; 8: iv, v, vi. He held that the word increase means interest, not usury. He expressed great admiration for the old Hebrew prophets, and read extracts explanatory of their character and work. House for WRent.
