"Be sure your sin will find you out'; is as true in polities as in everyday life, and Mr. Borden is feeling the force of this truth. He, and he alone, is res- ponsible for the fact that a unanimous consent of both parties to Canada's participation in the defence of the Empire has become the partizan thing of shreds and patches it now is. He a- lone is responsible for the feet that Canada's participation in the defence of the Empire, if it is made, has been robbed of the spontaneity which marked the policy of 1909, or the Liberal tender of the British preference - Peterboro Examiner. The Montreal Star says it is high time the Liberal party took the country into its confidence and made clear what are its intentions regarding the Naval Bill. The Liberal policy is as clear as daylight. It seeks to compel the Bor- den Government to submit the measure to the people, on the ground that it is a radical departure from the program ap- proved by both political parties in Can- ada, and the British admiralty as well, in 1909, and destroys any hope of Can' ada ever having a navy of her own What The Star should ask is "What is the Conservative policy?" It is un doubtedly a policy 'f "contributions" but the members of the Government, who ought to be honest with the people in a matter of this kind. positively de- cline to state what their intentions with regard to the future are. -Brant- ford Expositor. ARE THESE MEN DISLOYAL? The Canadian Courier again calls at- tention to a memorial signed by 300 pro- minent Canadians, and sent to Mr. Bor- den early in November last, which call- ed for a non-partisan settlement of the naval question. It maintained; 1 -Canada must "forthwith" take a share in the naval defence of the Em- pire. 2 -The permanent policy of Canada must be a Canadian navy. 3 -If necessity is shown, there shall be an emergency contribution. 4 -This was signed by Sir Redmond Roblin, Sir William Whyte, the editors of the leading dailies and a hundred other prominent men in the West. In Toronto it was signed by Mr. R. S. Gourley, Senator Cox, Mr. W. J. Gage, Mr. Chester Massey, Mr. W. E. Rundle, Hon. Wallace Nesbitt. Sir Mortimer Clark, Sir Edmund Walker, Sir William 3lackenzie, Mr. James Ryrie. Professor Wrong, Mr. Arthur Hawkes, the Bish- op of Toronto, and ;+ hundred others of similar standing.

(Stratford Beacon) the talk that Mr. Borden has a man- date from the people for his naval policy and is therefore justified in adop- ting closure to force it through the House is all nonsense. The figures given by Mr. Boivin of Shefford in the House on Friday last proves the very opposite. He showed that of the total vote given at the polls, 625,096 were given on behalf of Liberal candidates pledged for a Canadian navy, and 124,- 039 votes were polled for candidates who had pledged themselves against any naval aid to the Fmpire without a plebiscite. That gives a total of 749,- 135 votes against the present prorosals of the Government, as against 545,513 votes polled for straight Conservative candidates who favored the Premier's proposals, whatever they might be. In other words, there is a popular majority of 203.617 against the naval bill. No wonder Mr. Borden refuses to face the people with a majority like that against him. vhronte Stomach Trouble Cured, There is nothing more discouraging than a chronic disorder stomach. It is not surprising that many suffer for years with such an ailment when a per- manent cure is within their reach and may be had for a trifle? "About one year ago," Jays P. H.

Jarvis, manager of the Galt branch of the Merchants Bank, belongs the credit of introducing the School Savings Bank system into Can- ada, Mr. Jarvis was equal to the task of influencing school boards to make it a part of school life and its spread over the Province constitutes evidence of its usefulness as a factor in inculcating thrift among young people. Mr. Jarvis is introducing a supple- mentary banking system, one that will dovetail into the School Savings Bank system. It is now under way and, briefly. is the creation of a department in the branch over which he presides for the depositing of small sums by ad- ults, from two cents up, deposits to be accepted on certain day or days each week, The idea uppermost in the launch- ing of this project is to widen the field of the small depositor, to inculcate hub - its of thrift among those who have left the school desk and to teach banking rules to the uninitiated, and thus serve a useful purpose in the process of mak- ing goad citizens. The system will en- tail considerable work, but as a path- finder, Mr. Jarvis will put into its de- velopment naive enthusiasm and the energy of a banker bent on justifying his work from within.

The London Advertiser has begun in its columns a "Public Health Depart- ment.” In them its readers are asked to enquire for information concerning health. Besides giving much useful in- formation, the editor is also handing out some good sound advice on public morals. Last week a boy of 12 years, sent in the following question: "I am a boy of 12, and smoke cigar- ettes. Mother tells me I will not grow big and healthy. Do you think mother is right?" In the following manner this question was answered: "Cigarettes do not do half as much harm to moat boys as the things that go with the cigarettes, that is loafing, telling smutty stories, hanging around with "sporty" older boys and hoping to make yourself think you are a man be- cause you try some of the things that some silliest kind of men spend their lives in doing. It is as silly for a little boy to imagine people will think be is a "grown-up ' because they see him smoking cigarettes, as it would be to imagine that people will think the little boy is a rnan if he parades down the street with hit father's high silk hat on. To some boys a nd to some men, tobacco is really poisonous, and there are very few people whom tobacco benefits. Obil ren O2 r �y FOR. FLETCHER'S, CAS"'y"O R IA H.

But the Hook Tail Bean Put One Over on the Sidehill Creeper. Paul Smith, the famous Adirondack guide and story teller, once met his match. There was an Englishman, supposedly with the proverbial Eng- lish sense of humor, who went to Smith's for some deer shooting. The morning after his arrival be started 1 g out with a gun alone. As he left the camp Paui told him to beware of the "side hill creepers." "What's a side hill creeper?" asked the Englishman. "Well," said Paul, "it's an animal that lines on the side of a hill, and. as Its right legs are long .and its left legs short it can only run on sloping ground. They are very ferocious, and if one starts after you you must run up or down hill, as on account of its deformity it cannot catch you when you do that" The Englishman shouldered his gun and went out. About night time he re- turned. The guide said to him. "Well, I see you dodged the creepers. all right." "No, I met one," said the English- man. "Yes?" said Paul. "Flow did you get away from hem?" "I ran 111)11111," said the Englishman. "You shonldn't have done that. You could make better time running down- hill." "I know it," said the Englishman, "hut you see I met a hooked tail bear, and 1 just naturally had to run up- hill." "Flow's that?" asked Paul. "Well. you know when a hooked tail bear gets started running the only way he can stop is to wrap his hooked tail around a tree. if i had run down- hill he could have stopped, but when I ran uphill why every time he hook- ed his tail around a tree he just tum- bled over backward, and so 1 got away." Paul owned Himself beaten and when the Englishman left refused to accept any money for his board. -New York Herald. BURNING WOMEN ALIVE. A Punishment That Was Abolished in England in 1790. The horrible punishment of burning women alive seems to have existed in Saxon England, hut perhaps only in the case of slaves. Under the Norman rulers any woman, bond or free, who killed her husband was burned alive, and the same punishment for this crime and also for high treason and even for coining and other minor of- fenses continued or arose from time to time through the second and third periods until it was abolished by act of parliament in 1700, the last actual execution of this kind having, however, taken place sir years earlier. The whipping of women for various offenses continued even later. Public whipping was not abandoned until 1817, and cases of private whipping oc- curred as late as 1820. There can be no doubt, we think, that the savage human instinct of cruelty had something to do with the barbarous punishments above mention- ed. As the old Roman public longed for the carnage of the circus, as the Spanish populate crowded to the auto- da-fe in the flourishing days of the In- quisition, so the lower (perhaps not only the lower) strata of English na- tionality took delight In witnessing tor- tures which in all probability were de- vised and kept up partly for their en- tertainment. Judge Jeffreys In sen- tencing a woman to be whipped is re- ported to have said: "Hangman, 1 charge By to pay par- tfcutar attention toa tbls lady. Scourge her till her blood runs down. It is Christmas time, a cold time for madam to strip. See that you burn her shoul- ders thoroughly."•--Cornhili Magazine, The Bright Guide.
