gentleman who said that he spoke with
the authority of Mr. Rogers and a Gov-
ernment engineer was hurried to the
spot in order to give color of sincerity
to the promises.
But bad as these things may have
been they were trivial when compared
with the methods by which the Provin-
cial riding of (limit, Manitoba, was won
for the Roblin Government by the Rog-
ers -Roblin "machine."
Corruption almost unbelievable was
pr tetised last fall on behalf of E. L.
Taylor, the Conservative nominee.
His election was protested by the Lib-
erals. By resort te legal technicalities
by absence from the Province at a time
when it was sought to serve papers up-
on him, Me. Taylor staved off the hear-
ing of the protest until the opening of
the Legislature when proceedings were
automatically stayed. To put final end
to the case and psevent the revelation
of the methods by which the election
was won, Mr. Taylor and the Rogers -
Roblin "machine" relied upon the fact
-
that the Provincial elections are to be
neld shortly after the close of the Leg-
islature's session.
But this reliance is vain. The extent
of the corruption practised in Gimli
has now been revealed in charges made
in the Legislature by T. H. Johnson, a
Liberal member. Mr. Johnson has
made his charge and has pledged hia
seat in the House that they are true.
What are those charges? Are they
serious or trivial? The facts answer.
Mr. Johnston charges that out of a
total appropriation of some $140,000 for
roads in Manitoba last year no less than
$93,000 was spent in Gimli when the
"machine" set out to win the riding
for Mr. Taylor Nor only is this charge
made but the item4 in the public ac-
cuonts which estabiish the charge have
been pointed out.
Mr. Johnson charges that employees
of the Government directed and carried
on the campaign of corruption -bribing
intimidating, distributing liquor in local
option districts, protecting law -break-
ers. He does more than this. He cites
names, dates, places, offences..
He gives the names of Provincial Con-
stables, Road Inspectors and other em-
ployees of the Manitoba Government
who gave money and liquor to electors
He tells of whiskey distributed among
foreign voters in oil cans and in barrels
marked "salt pork." He tells of J. B.
Lauzon, a former Conservative of the
Manitoba Legislature, offering money
to electors. He cites the case of a man
to whom Mr. Lauzon offered no less
than $300. He tells of the distribution
of whiskey on Sundays as well as week
days. Bringing the matter directly
home to Mr. Taylor, Mr. Johnson cities
the case of an elector who had liquor
which the man himself said he had re-
ceived from Mr. Taylor.
Mr. Johnson had spoiled the "ma-
chine's" plan of preventing exposure.
He has made the facts public and under
circumstances which make it impossible
to believe that they are other than he
has stated them to be; a man does not
pledge his seat in Parliament unless he
is sure of his ground. Mr. Johnson says
that Gimli was won by the Rogers -Roblin
machine" by means of a veritable
carnival of election criminality.
The toleration of such methods as
those outlined above must put a prem-
ium on crookedness in politics and makes
the election trickster and scoundrel the
man of power and the honorable citizen
a man of no influence in the affairs of
his country.
Whether followed by Grit or by Tory
such methods merit only the severest
condemnation. But they have become
more frequent and their use more brazen
since men of the Rogers' school of poli-
tics gained power in Dominion and Pro-
vincial affairs. Conditions will grow
worse, not better, unless the right-mind-
ed Conservatives join with opponents of
the Ottawa Government in teaching the
Ministry's election "experts" the lesson
which is imperatively necessary in the
public interest.

A MALIGNANT GROWTH.
All right thinking Canadians are
hostile to electoral corruption. In that
fact lies the confident hope that the
recent exposures of glaring instances
of the grossest kind of machine politics
both in provincial and federal bye -elec-
tions will soon work their own remedy.
Once alive to the true situation, patri-
oticCanadians will enforce decency and
honesty in politics.
Reference need not be made to the
outrageous methods by which the bye -
elections in Macdonald, Hochelaga and
Chateauguay, respectively, were won
for the Ottawa Government by the
Rogers' "machine.' Those methods
have already been widely discussed and
condemned in the newspapers of the
country. There have been of late other
equally disgraceful instances of improp-
er tactics in behalf of provincial Con-
servative candidates in the bye -elections
in Manitoba and Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick.
In a provincial bye -election in Nova
Scotia last year an attempt was made
to influence the electors by publishing
to them the supplementary estimates
for their riding before those estimates
had been submitted to Parliament by
Hon Mr. Rogers, the Minister respon-
sible for them. In the recent by-elec-
von in Victoria, Nova Scotia, a Domin-
ion Government steamer, the Alert,
was used to carry Conservative work-
ers and Conservative whiskey into that
local option constituency. In the Prov-
incial bye -election in York, N. B., pro-
mises of new Federal public works
for the sonstitueney were held out by a
as Troubled
With
Weak Back.
Weak back is caused by weak kidneys,
and it is hard for a woinan to look after
her household duties when she is suffer-
ing from a weak and aching back, for
no woman can be strong and well when
the kidneys are out of order.
Doates Kidney Pills go right to the
seat ef t'ta troaltle, cure the weak, aching'
back, nd aevent :Lily and all of the
serious kirlary trouhles which are liable
to become rt) ro•-•ied into the system
if riot attended to at once.
Mrs. Arf,il•tos j:aks, Demorestville,
Ont., writes:--"Vor several years I
had been trwri,led with weak back
end kidneys. I had terrible dizzy
headaalleP, and (ARO., not sleep at night.

Last Victim of the Boer War
An explosion .due- to a most extra-
ordinary cause occurred recenity at
Crediton, in Devon, with Rev. Henry
John Hodgson as the victim. For ten,
years or more Mr. Hodgson has had in
his sitting room at the Chantry, Deau
street, a Boer artillery shell in use as a
door weight. Of the fact thatit was a
live shell he had not the faintest idea.
He had also in his possession a sword
bayonet of French manufacture, and he
decided to bend the bayonet and attach
it as a hoOk to the shell. Accordingly
he put the point of the bayonet into the
fire until the metal had become white
hot, and then, t siring out the percussion
cap of the shell. hs inserted the end of
the hot bayonet in the hole. Instantly
there was a terrific explosion. Mr. Hod-
gsen's right leg was fractured below
the knee, his right wrist terribly lacer-
ated, and his face badly burned by the
ignited powder. The plate glass in the
French window was blown out, most of
the furniture in the room was smashed
to bits, and shale pierced in the floor
where the shell lay. Fragments of
shell Were found in different parts of
the room and embedded in the vvallst,
the furniture, and the garden.
A patent has been isSusd for a pen-
cil -holding clip to be fastened to a per-
son's ear.

Concrete Tanks and Troughs
Never Rot or Leak
HE most practical tanks, whether fa water or
sewage, are built of concrete. They never rust,
rot, dry out or leak. They never need new hoops
or paint. They last a lifetime and seldom require repairing,
which makes them the cheapest tanks that can be built.
Clean, Sanitary Watering Troughs
are just as necessary as the animals that drink from them. The
farmer's best interests art being served when his stock is in-
sured a plentiful supply of clear, clean water from a trough
that id permanent and sanitaty.
"What the Farmer can do with Concrete" is the name of
a handsome free book that tells all about concrete tanks,
watering troughs and other uses of Cencreto that will save
every farmer many dollars, Write for it to -day.

In the fields and vineyards, vie with
each other in reciting poetry and tell-
ing stories. Generally both are extem-
poraneous, and often they have a good
deal of poetic gt•ace and imagination.
The. gift of reciting iinprovised poetry
Is not, however, confined to the peas-

stance that occurred in my own neigIss.A.

up his horse and capped the line with
another.

that such a detail would not ha re been

illiterate peasants detect at once the
slightest departure from the form In
which the original lines are set and
consider the offender to have lost the
