Good morning. How do you like the
good roads that would have been
built during the last two years if the)
' Grits at Ottawa hadn't prevented it ?
Great movements sometimes have
little beginningv, which fills Mackenzie
King with the notion that he may be
able to start something,
Hist ! .Sir Wilfrid Laurier is to visit
the Maritime Provinces and then go
West, This will afford scope for the
display of all hie trade policies/
We are unable sto conceal our sur-
prise that the Grits have not endeav-
oured to hold Col. Sam Hughes res.
ponsible for the depredations of the
army worm.
Wheat has been selling at higher
prices in Winnipeg than in Minneapo-
lis. Liberal free-wheatere don't bat
an eyelash over things like that. The
parrot says, "Free wheat."
The Borden Government• took
prompt and effective action in respect
to the Hindoos at Vancouver. Under
the present administration Canadian
immigration is controlled in Canada.
Hon. George Perley bas attended a
meeting of the Imperial Defence Com-
mittee in London. We need have no
fear, however, so long as Sir Wilfrid
Laurier is with us to protect our au-
tonomy, Eh what ? .
The Ottawa "Free Press" says the
National Trust Company should not
have been appointed trustee under the
C. N. R. guarantee. The Toronto
"Globe" says its all right. These Grit
papers had better hold a caucus.
The Liberals are furiously enraged
over the formation of a volunteer
naval reserve and the possibility of
the royal navy being recruited there-
from. These anatomy as for their
autonomy, perhaps a little more.
The "Weekly Sun" alludes to Sir
Wilfrid Laurier's advisers as "the
little corerie of uniospired and unir
luminated Liberals who are in the
habit of getting between him and bis
party." And that from a friendly
journal.
These are the days when the farmer,
jolting to market over the stones and
ruts of bed roads, appreciates to the
full what the Libersls under Laurier
did for him in killing the Borden Gov-
ernment's highways bill.
The "Globe" says thee Government
is "shiveribg on the brink" of an
election, The "Globe" knows perfect-
ly well that shivering has been quite
immpossihle since the beginning of
the dog days. Another lie nailed:
fc
This year the United States has an
even greater harvest, and will have a
record production -for export. The of-
ficial forcast from Washington indi
cates a harvest of nearly 900,000.000
bushels of spring and fall wheat, to
gether with record-breaking corn and
cotton crops.
One of the reasons why the Liberals
don't like to see the railways placed
in a position where they can spend
more money is that financial conditions
in Canada lie likely to be improved by
this expenditure. The Liberals don't
want the country to prosper under
Borden.
The thanks of the Liberal party are
due to Hon, L. P. Pelletier for his as.
surance that, there will be no election
this fall. If there's one thing that the
Liberals fear more than another it's
an appeal to the people. Anyone wht,
has followed the course of the Grite ir.
Paella nent since 1011 knows the rea-
son.
When the reciprocity campaign wa-
in progress in 1011 the Liberals and
advocates of reciprocity claimed that
there was a gr
eatar
ket for wheat
the United States, and that the repub
lie had reached the limit of production.
Subsequent events have shown the ab-
solute fallacy of this statement. In
1012 and 1913 the United States wits
Canada's greatest rival in the sale of
wheat and flour, and the rerublie pro-
duced more wheat for sale abroad
than Canada.
Instead
of having sin's
g
market for wheat from the Dotniniod,
the United States' farmer bas been
our greatest competitor.
In 1850 the United States produced a
little more than four bushels of wheat
for every human being in the country.
In the 80's the output rose to ten bus,.
per inhabitant. to 1000 the produce
tion was back to seven bushels per In-
habitant. In 1012 and 1013 there was
another move forward, and this year
the yield Will be up to ten bushel.
egaiti—the largest in the history of the
republic, and that despite the enor-
mous inereat`e in population. Last
year the United States exported near.
ly $150,000,000 worth of wheat and
tint, and this year the exportable our
pine may easily double that retina
Thera is, therefore, no eolasetnirg
rcpt om' wheat la the nag haw.
Like the Britirh House of Commons,
the House of Representatives at
Washington bas a stiff form of closure
for the purpose of limiting debate and
suppressing obstruction ; but the
United States Senate still believes in.
unlimited debate, and of late has been
resisting some of the reform bills
favoured by President Wilson.
Writing on the subject to bis news-
paper in Nebraska, Mr. W. J. Bryan,
Secretary of State, says ;—
"The rule allowing unlimited debate
le harmless when there are no reform
bills pending ;—but such a rule' is a
real injury to the country when the
peop'e have voted for reforms and
when the party in power is honestly
attempting as it now is, to redeem the
pledges made, At this time the rule
giving unlimited debate operates
the interest of the minority because
by means of the rule the minority can
slow down the processes of reform and
decrease the number of remedial
measures which it is possible to pats."
With the change of a few words this
would be quite applicable to the Senate
at Ottawa. Only while the Senators
at Washington are elected for six
years, our Senators arenominated for
life so that we have no recourse
against them. In the Auetralian
Commonwealth the Senators are elect-
ed for six years. At one time the
members of the Legielative Council of
New Zealand were appointed for life,
but now they are appointed for seven
years only, It is high time our irre-
sponeible Chamber was reformed.

London, Eng. — A. Paris des-
patch eays French troops have de-
feated the Germans in a battle at
Spiacourt in the department of the
Meuse. This is the first battle on

patches say desperate fighting is
going on at Liege to -day following
a refusal of the Belgiame to sur-
render ; with the German forces
making a final effort to smash the
Belgian defence and capture the
forts surrounding the city. The
French war office announced today
that the army operating against

Said Auetria—"You murderous Serb,
You the peace of all Europe disturb;
Get down on your knees,
And apologize, please,
Or I'll kick you right off my front
curb,"
Said Servia,—"Don't venture too far,
Or I'il call in my uncle, the Czar ;
tie won't see me licked,
Nor insulted nor kicked,
So you better leave things as they are,"
Said the Kaiser—"Push in that Serb's
,, face,
It will teach him to stay in his place ;
If Russia says boo,
I'm in the game too,
And right quickly we'll settle the case."
The Czar said—"My cousin, the Kaiser,
Was always a good advertiser;
He's determined to fight.
And insists he is right,
But soon he'll be older and wiser."
"For forty four summers" said France
"I have waited and watched for a
chance
To wrest Alsace-Lorraine
From the Germans again,
And now is the time to advance,"
Said Belgium—'When armies immense
Pour over my boundary fence,
I'll awake from my nap,
And put up a scrap
They'll remember a hundred years
hence."
Said John Bull—"This 'ere Kaieer's,a

And 'is word isn't worth 'arf a bob,
(If I lets Belgium suffer,
I'm a blank bloomin' duffer) '
So 'ere goes for a crack at 'is nob." .
Said Italy—"I think I'll stay out

Its a far better plan
Just to sell my banan',
Till the issue is plain beyond doubt."
Said our good uncle Samuel—"I swaow
I had better keep aout of this raow,
Fur with Mormons and Niggers,
And Greasere, I Jiggers,
I have all I kin handle just now."

An Indictment Of Civilization.
In Vienna there is a doddering old
man, the offspring of a tainted house,
who sits on the throne of a dual em -
sire.
In St, Peterburg there ie a weak,
well-meaning neurotic who by the
accident of birth happens to be the
Czar of All the Russians,
In Berlin there is a brillant, talented,
ambitious manipulator of politics who
is German Emperor by grace of the
genius of Bismarck, Moltke and Roon.
Of these three men, only the one in
Berlin has more than mediocre abiliti-
es ; • yet the three are permitted to
play with the lives of millione of men,
with property worth thousands of
dollars, with the commerce and indus-
try and prosperity and laws and in-
stitutions not rnerely of empires and
kingdoms but of continents. It is left
to `them to determine whether the
world is to witness the most deadly
and devastating war of all history.
The thing would be laughable, ridi-
culous, if it were not so ghastly.
War of itself may be wise or unwise,
just or unjust; but the issue of
world-wide war should rest in the
hands of three men—any three men—
and that hundreds of millions who will
bear' the burden and be affected in
every relation of life by the outcome.
of such a war should passively leave
the decision of these three men is an
indictment of civilization itself.
Human progress is slow indeed when
a whole continent is still ready to
fight for anything except the right to
life, liberty and self-government.
AUTOCRACY OR DEMOCRACY.
O great corrector of enormous times,
.Shaker of o'er -rank states, thou grand
decider
Of dusty and old titles, that bealest
with blood
The earth when it is sick, and curest
the world ,
0' the pleurisy of people
—Beaumont and Fletcher.
When peace is again established in
Europe there will come a new order of
things. Democracy will not stand for-
ever upon the scaffold, with autocracy
forever on the throne.
Ten days ago the German people
were at peace with all the world.
They bad no quarrels of their own
with anybody. In the yeas that had
followed the downfall of Napoleon III.
they had won the administration of
every civilized country. Out of a con-
dition of general poverty they had
arisen to great wealth and prosperity.
They had become the leaders and
teachers of all the nations in the de-
velopment of scientific industry. Their
commerce reached to every nook and
corner of the globe. Their ships float-
ed on every sea. Their victories were
no victories of brute force, but
triumphs of applied &kill and trained
minds. In many respects the Germans
had touched the high-water mark of
human civilization. There was not
another country in the world but
could learn something from them.
Suddenly this vast fabric woven by
peace en% industry and skill and
science is torn in two. All the ma.
chinery of progress is stopped by the
hand of autocracy. The Kaiser plung-
es Europe into the moat devasting con-
flict known to human history, and
every civilized country reels'under the
shock. And about what? Ostensibly
because Russia had answered Austria's
wanton war against Servia by mobiliz-
ing troops on the frontier in order to
protect her own interests. In reality
because the reactionary party of Ger-
many was determined to invite a gen•
era! European conflict in order to stay
the advancement of political reforms.
In the very vanguard of the twen-
tieth century in most respects, Ger-
many has straggled back into the
seventeenth century politically. The
curse of mediaeval government has
hung over her noblest achievements
Every impulse toward political freedom
h cs been beaten back by the mailed
flet, and at a great crisis in their his-
tory the German people are deprived
of that power over their own political
institutions without which theEnglish-
rPeakin
g Tac( s °justly come to regard
life itself as intolerable.
Autocrlioy has had its way. Ars.
tria's quarrel with Servia was n•a sffair
of Lhe German people. Russia's chal-
lenge to Austria was no affair of the
German people. Yet the very fate of
the German Empire is thrown into the
balance in order to halt the march of
political freedom in Europe.
All the world knew that a declara-
tion of war against Resale was in ef.
feet a declaration of war against.
France. Germany admitted it by
mobilizing her enemy, not on the Rus-
sian frontier, but on the French fron-
tier, The decisive blow was to be
stuck againet tho French Republic,
not against its imperial ally. It
was not Rusetxn depotiem that was
to be crushed, but French republi.
canism, .
The hollow hyprocisy of the whole
proceeding is revealed by the fact that
before the clash of aims is fairly be-
gun the Austrian invasion of Servile ,is
practically abandoned.
Having begun the war, the German
autocracy now finds itself !etiolated.
Italy eonetruee the Ttlpple Alliance as
' applicable only to a war of defence;
because there would be a resolution in
Italy, if the Government ventured to
charm ion tLe cause of the bated Jam
trian. Great Britain is compelled to
);;,lake France's cause her cause. Ger,
many and Austria are left alone to
fight the battle of autocracy, and pay
the bill In blood and treasure and pres-
tige. In this war they have no sym•
patbizere even among neutrals. The
enlightened opinion of the whole
world has turned against the two
Kaisers, as it turned against Napoleon
III. when he sought to make himself
theiautocrat of Europe.
What was begun hastily as a war of
autocracy is not unlikely to end as a
war of resolution, with thrones crumb-
ling and dynasties in exile. Civiliza-
tion cannot rest at the mercy of despo-
tism, and the welfare of mankind is
not to be made the plaything of auto-
cracy. If all Europe must be drenched
in blood before this lesson is implanted
in the minds of kings and courtiers,
we may say of this war as Lincoln
said of the war that exterminated hu-
man slavery. 'The judgments of the
Lord are true and righteous • alto-
gether.' This is the twilight of the
gods.

"The Best Face
Cream I Ever
Used"
is what one of our lady customers
tells us about
Rexall Face Cream
Knowing what it is made of, we
were certain it would bo hard to
Improve on.
•
We hardly expected that a quar-
ter package like Rexall would win
favor over other high priced lines
-but it has.
Believing it the best article and
best value we have we like to re-
commend
it to you,
Let us show it to you and tell you
about it--Rexall—that's the name.
