ed and dogmatic and altogether against the wishes of the American people, especially those particularly interested. To those who were locked up in ‘Frisco in the midst of quake and fire, Roosevelt’s action was a direct slap in the face, and one that hurt. W'ith no power on earth to save them from the earthquake, and no means, artificial or natural, to stay the devouring times, they were indeed in dire peril. \Vith their homes and belongings, clothes and food gone. nothing but old 'mother earth for a Wand the “milky way” for a DURHAM, MAY :24, '1906. The Dominion Government has de- cided to send the $100,000 voted by Parliament for the relief of the San Francisco sufferers to either the Red Cross Society or the Mayor of the city. Though President Roosevelt has refus- ed to allow foreign countries to con- tribute towards the relief fund, he cannot prohibit private subscriptions, and it is hoped that in this way the diplomatic restrictions will be over- come and the grant received. The action of on: Gox ernment in voting this money to the sufferers from the recent earthquake. was approvedl by every citizen in the Dominion, and4 though the Chief Executive of ourl sister country took immediate steps towards refusing outside aid. he did it? in a moment of thoughtlessness, and in the truly erratic style of Theodore Roosevelt. Rough Rider, Cow Puncher and Lion Hunter. He possibly was not fully acquainted with the magni- tude of the disaster, and leaped before he looked. With a. certain high-head- ed pride, so characteristic of the land of the Stars and Stripes, that the great United States could handle its own troubles. he barred all monetary assistance from foreign countries, who from all appearances, were more than willing to|lend a helping hand in time of need.

DEATH OF WILLIAM SMITH 0F DOBNOCH. ONT. On Saturday May 19th, 1906. there passed away at the advanced age of seventy-seven years. “’illiam Smith, of Dornoch. one of the early pioneers of this county. 'He lived on the farm where he died for the past sixty-three years. having settled there with his father. the late James Smith, and other members of a. large family in 1843. He was a native of Inverness Shire. Scotland. and at the age of twelve years came with the family to Fraserfield, Glengarry (roun- t y. , After two years they came west and settled in the hush ten miles north of what is now Durham. for at that time it was a wilderness from Fergus to Owen bound. the Garafraxa road not being built until 1846. The President's action was. to say the least. ungracious. It was entirely uncalled for. The magnitude of the disaster is just now becoming known. San Francisco will need all the waist- ance she can get. and it is gratifying to know that though their Chief Ex- ecutive prohibited the assistance- of outside countries. the Canadian Gov- ernment has never withdrawn the fund: it is still here and steps areheing taken to land it in the place for which it was originally intended. He leaves to mourn his loss a. wife, five daughters, Mrs. Robt. Mills and W. G. Ross, of Tilbury, Ont.. Mrs. W. A. Mills and Mrs. J. A. Grant, of Forest, Manitoba. and Miss E. Alice Smith, at present on a. visit to her sis~ ters in the W'est; five sons, Rev. Dr. J. F. Smith, Comber, Ont., T. C. Smith B. A... of Smiths Falls High School, Donald and \Villiam on the home- stead, and Lewis Smith of Avonhurst, Saskatchewan. His sister, Mrs. Alex. Black, of Oak River, Manitoba, is the only member living of the family of eleven who left Scotland in 1841. Mr. Smith will be much missed in the vicinity for he was always active and interested in the political. social and religious life of the county. He was a member of the Presbyterian church at Dornoeh, being one of the first managers appointed when the first church was built and continued until within the past few years when he gave place to younger men. The funeral which took place on Monday was attended by all the mem- bers of the family living in Ontario and a large number of friends and neighbors for miles around. The pas- tor, Rev. N. A. McDonald. conducted the. service. He was at one time a member of the Holland township council and license commissioner for the district. So widesmead is this evil. so gen-‘ eral is the decadence of fundamental morality, that the most glaring in- stance of business dishonescy. invol- ving lying and theft and perjul'yi passes almost without comment and often without punishment. The notion is common and facts seem to warrant it, that men who organize a corporation can be guilty of all forms of dishonesty. falsifying Government returns. making lying affidavits to public oficials, feasting themselves and their favorites on the funds of their shareholders. gambling in stocks with trust moneys for their own ad- vantage. stOppinz at nothing that their ingenuity could devise or their cupidity desire; and yet there are signs of a moral paralysis in public Opinion and in the courts of justice, and even the churches themselves. where there should be no confusion of moral distinctions. seem strangely apathetic. For vulgar drunkenness or petty larceny a man would be blackballed by a lodge. or refused by a club, or disciplined by a church. or sent to jail by a court. But the pre- tentious and brazen ofiender may juggle with figures. and rob his de- pendents and perjure himself, and nothing is heard of social ostracism, lorof ecclesiasticul discipline. or of istraightaoing judicial condemnation. râ€"The Globe.

Mr. Rodger has been for about two years in evangelistic work in Alberta, B. C. and the Yukon and gave a deeply interesting and touching address on his work in that field. Mr. Rodger was the guest of Rev. L. W. Thom over Sunday and Monday. Dr. Murray made a splendid catch of trout in the Saugeen one morning last week and your Cor. enjoyed a treat from the basket which contain- ed a beauty 16 inches long and a pound and a half in weight.

A despatch from Escanaba puts the known dead at 4. missing 20 or more. hundreds of fam- ilies homeless and several millions of dollars worth of property burned. For weeks small fires had been smouldering in the forest, but no at- tention was paid them, as they were not considered dangerous. A high wind last Friday night, however. caused them to spread. By 2 o’clock they had attained a velocity of 40 miles, and by four o’clock the terri- tory on fire represented a stretch of fifty miles. Four tovirns have been wiped out, the families leaving everything in their flight.
