He said that every Presi- dent 'of the T.inaited States had been dominantly of English or Scottish blood, while the overwhehning ma- jority of Mayors, members of Con- gress and presidents of educational institutions in America bore names of English, Irish •or Scota descent.

The, total ikaports were $678,587,617. Exports were $401,- • 346,401. The amount of duty col- lected was $115,641,071. One of the most interesting items ,in the list of imports is settlers' %ffeots brought in by immigrants. During the twelve months ending 30 this year the value of hese from elle United States was $10,206,265, as eorepared, with $4,- 900,274 front Great Britain, The aures show in a oomprehen- sive way the eteileing increases in 'the imports and exPores whieh have already been refleceed th %Ott* reports. I noteworthy feature is the increase of imports from the United. States. Imports from that country during the twelve months were valued • at $44e,213,343, an increase over -the preceding period of over seventy- five million, or about eighteen per eent., and of, more than 100 per cent. over tile twelve monthswhich waded April 30t1, 1910. The total British jetports for the year ending with April, 1913, also showed a sat- isfactory increase'being' $140,177,- 842, nearly twenty-two millione or seeenteen per cent. increase over the ,preceding period, Exports also show a satisfactory increase in the report. For the bwel-ye months to the end of April, 1018, the total was $401,340,401. For the eorresponeling period, of the previous year it was $318,919,890. roe 1013 the exports to the United Kingdom were $183,734,8e0.

This policy was based on the belief that, amusements and sports were often sinful, and if not actually einful themselvee, were frivoloue in their diameter and might have a de- basing eilfeet, to which the publishers of the Wituess were not willing to subject their readers.

Light winds and steady, bright sunshine, with fairly high temperatures, • followed the heavy rains of the, previous week. The whole Province has now had from eight to ten days of this ideal wea- ther, and groWth and ripening have been remarkably last. This is par- ticularly true of Southern Mani- toba, which had suffered ,severely from, drought and cold. The recovl ery throughout the southern part of the Province is such as has rare- ly been seen. So far there is very little trace of smut and none at all of rust. Many districts in which prospects were exeeedingly dubious two weeks ago now seem assured of fair crops, if present conditions continue for a short time. •STRAN GE CASE. , Manitoba Boy, 9 Years Old, May Be Charged With Murder.

At an inquest, at Tyndal the verdict was aneopen one, and the boy was brought to the city. As far as can be learned the boy plan- ned to rob the home, of the Lueys.

Lorne McGibbon, one of the a-ggreeeive eapitaliste which. Montreal has produced in the last dozen years, made it essential for Liberals to get a mouthpiece and no &Dube hastened the purchase of the Wit- ness. Who that someone is remains a mystery. One surmiae is that E. A. Robert, a local empetalist intereeted in the Street Railway. has associated himself with Lib. eral politicians in the .vertture. Another guess is that Sir Hugh Graham, proprietor of the Montreal Star, is now behind the seenetre in the Telegraph office, but this scarcely seems creditable, although there are exampke in England of capitalists owning and managing newspapers -on op- posite sides of politics. The Montreal Star has been accepting full page advertise - mutts from the Telegraph, a circumstance -which may have originated the rumor, but it woula eeera that this fact is no moae siguilfeant then that the Star ie not unwilling to see. the Telegraph find its place as the Liberal mouthpiece, particu- larly if, in doing so, it injures the Star's old rival, the Herald, whieb now threat- ens to rival the Star in Imperialism and to be a more active competitor than ever. The Herald has even gone to the length of buyiug a weekly paper, The Mirror, to get out in competition to Sir Hugh Gra- ham's Standard. Daily Mali Coming. Meanwhile, new buildings, new presses, new equipment are being rapidly assem- bled for the morning Daily Mail. With its publication,. the Gazette will, for the first time, have competition. In the active luau. agement of the Daily Mail will be B. A. MoNab, for many years Managing Editor of the Montreal Star, and a sphinx like gentle -roan of portentous mien. Also there will be M. E.

There is also a mystery as to who the proprietors of this paper are, though it is genera -Ey accepted that Rob- ert Rogers and associates are interested. feir Hugh Grahara's name is also men- tioned in this connection. The Star and the Gazette, though on the same side of politics, have never got on with one an- other any too well, and. it has frequently been eumored that Sir Hugh Graham pro- posed to attack the Gazette's monopoly of the morning paper field.

In elle City of To- ronto, for example, in the year 1901 -there were 3,943 arrests on charges of being drunk and disorderly. At that time the city had a population of about, 240,000 so that for every 1,000 persons there were 17 drunks in the year. In the year 1912, however, there were no less than 15,605 drunka and disorderlies. This with a pop- ulation of 450,000 raeans that out of every 1,000 persons there were 35 drunks; that is, jest twice as many as 11 years prealously. Similar figures are obtainable from other Canadian centres. It, is said that one of the reasons for the increace is the inctease in foreign Pop- ulation. The chief oause would, seem to be the great increase in prosperity, an increase which it is to be feared lute not been accompanied.by a corresponding' in- crease in godlinees.,• Balkan Barbarism.
