Father Flahaven of Hamilton, takes charge of this na-rish next Sunday: Rev. and Dear Father: ADDRESS m PRESENTATION? BORN 1 .25 Insuring Soldiers. One of the largest life insurance companies on the continent has in- sured at its regular rates an entire regiment of Canadian soldiers and half of another, portions of the sec- ond expeditionary force sent to Europe. The men to whom policies are issued are citizens of the city of Toronto, and the expense of the poli- cies, which are twenty-year endow- ments at $1,000 each, will be borne by the city for three years. At the end of that time the policies can be allowed to lapse, or can be kept in force by the men making their own payments. This is believed to be the fun time that an insurance has been effected on -an organized body, of troops about to go into battle to-*‘ gether. American Consul F. S. Johnson has just made a visit to Barriefield camp and has stated that the supper of the soldiers was not as good as that given the prisoners of war at Fort Henry. The soldiers received two pieces of broad, butter, Irish stew and a mug of cofl'ee. The pris- oners at the fort received four large pieces of bread, butter, jam, cheese and tea. I am not a legislator but a judge and the question submitted to me is not whether it should be more fair and reasonable that women should be placed on a footing of equality with men and allowed to become members of the legal profession, but whether. at the time when the law which incorporated the bar of; the Province of Quebec, the legislator intended that women should be in- cluded in the law, and given the same privileges which were granted to the male sex. No woman possessing the least sense of decency could possibly put to the complainant the questions necessary in certain cases without throwing a blur upon her own dig- nity, and without bringing into utter contempt the honor and respect due to her sex. I hold that to admit a woman, and more particularly a married woman, as a barrister; that is to say, as a person who pleads cases at the bar before judges and juries in Open court and in the presence of the public, would be nothing short of a direct infringement upon public or- der and manifest violation of the law of good morals and public decency. In the Province of Quebec quite different views are held on the sub- ject of women lawyers from those which largely prevail in this coun- try, as is shown by a recent ruling from the bench in Montreal. It was held that to admit a woman to prac- tice law would be “a manifest viola- tion of the law of good morals and public decency," and that it would further be “a direct infringement upon public order.” Mr. Justice St. Pierre said in delivering his finding. Can’t Get Lost. Sheâ€"My husband seems to wandering in his mind.‘ l r The main difficulty to-day consists ‘in the fact that our western farmer, like his counterpart of a few de- cades ago in the western states, plays a dual role. He is a farmer and a land speculator, and it is often doubtful which characteristic pre- dominates. Many homesteaders, of course, are farmers, purely and sim- ply, but for thousands of others speculation is practically the sole motive. The representative western- er, however, combines the two occu- pationsâ€"agriculture and speculation â€"â€"and, needless to say. as a specula- tor he is an indifierent farmer. The combination is not favorable to good farming and to the conservation of soil fertility. The average farmer, in anticipation of a rapid rise in land values, has burdened himself with as large an acreage as he could acquire. Having assumed heavy obligations, usually with little capi- tal, he has faced high interest rates, a scarcity of labor and high cost of implements. He has been compelled, in order to hold his land for the promised advance in value, to resort to the system of cultivation that produces the maximum gross reve- nue with the minimum of outlay. The bona fide farmer has farmed with a view to insuring the perman- ent productivity of his land; the speculator, par excellence, has not farmed at all: the farming specula- tor or the speculating farmer has operated his agricultural plant at capacity speed with a view to selling it before the output diminishes ap- preciably. He has not been content to receive a normal profit 'from his farm. He. has robbed the business as a going concern by encroaching on capital. Soil fertility is the capi- tal asset which a wise agriculturist maintains unimpaired. â€" Conserva- tion. Speculation Is Cause of Ruin of the Land. Says _“Conservation.” The farmer of Western Canada has long been upbraided for his dis- regard of the principles of scienti- fic agriculture. The gospel of mix- ed tarming, as the safeguard against soil exhaustion, has been constantly dinned into his ears but, as a rule, the advice has been consistently ignored and the farmer has adhered religiously to his system or soil mining. As a matter of fact, he has seldom denied that his farming methods are unscientific. What. then, is the explanation of the gen- eral and firm adherence to a mis- taken course? The typical western farmer is neither lazy, unintelligent nor particularly shortsighted. Cer- tainly, it is not that he is ignorant of the principles and practices or scientific agriculture, for the Cana- dian West has recruited its pioneers from the best farming communities of the British Isles, Ontario, the Maritime Provinces, iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas and Nebraska. His failure to follow pr0per methods of cultivation is due to none of these causes, except in a minor degree. Heâ€"Well,'he can’t stray far. Not \Vanted In Quebec.
