NO PRIVILEGES FOR
THE' MENNONIT'ES
New Colonization Scheme Be-
ing Carefully Weighed.
A despatch from Herbert, Sask.,
says: --Should the Mennonites of 'Sas-
katchewan and Manitoba decide to
settle in Mississippi and Alabama, ac-
cording to plans which have been
under way for some time, they need
not look for any special territorial or
religious privileges, recording to the
statement of H. A. Emerson of Yellow
Pine, Alabama, who addressed a large
audience at Herbert recently.
Mr. Emerson, who has a controll-
ing interest in more than half a mil-
lion acres of fertile agricultural lands
in Alabama and Mississippi, has been
negotiating with the Mennonites for
some time, with the end in view of
establishing a colony of these people
in the South.
So far none of the old colony Men-
nonites nor any of the Sommerfelder
Idonnonites have actually settled in
the South, although a tract of 125,000
neves has been selected for. purchase.
and an option taken on 100,000 acres
more.
The communities affected in the pro-
posed trek to the South arc those at'
Rhineland, Man.; ,Swift Current, Soak.;
Vague, Sask.; .and Rosthern, Sask.,
and a few scattered families in the
south district.
At the close cf the meeting no one
seemed particularly anxious to leave
the country without first giving eare-
fuI consideration and counting the
coat. Tho number of families affected
in the. new colonization scheme is ap-
proximately five hundred.
Lord Robert Cecil
Heads Economy Party
A despatch from London says; -
Lord Robert Cecil has accepted the
Chairmanship of the group of mem-
bers of Parliamen tfavering economy.
This action means the organization
of a new Opposition party, with Lord
Robert as the Leader, at the opening
of Parliament next week.
The new party`is expected to have
about thirty members in the House.
Cecil is an ahie and energetic
Leader, who has been looked upon for
some time as a possible su0eessor to
L1oyd.George in the Preimiership. He
is ,opposed to imposing harsh terms
on Germany.
Dusting Trees
Better Than Spraying
A despatch from Boston says:
--Dusting trees is better than
spraying then as a preventative
of pests; the Massachusetts
Fruit Growers' Association was
told .by F.. H. Dudley, State Hor-
ticulturalist for Maine. Dusting
has been proven by tests in
Maine to be quicker and more ef-
fective than sprawing, he said.
A crew can 'dust 300 trees in
fifty-four minutes. The material
used is arsenate of lead, sulphur
and tobacco dust. Cost will de-
pend on the proportions of the
mixture.

SEEMS TO BE SOME SLIGHT DELAY'
BIC OIL DEAL ON PROSPECT
OF DOWNFALL OF BOLSHEVIK REGIME
British Oil Interests Buy Title to Caucasus Oil Fields from
Russians Who Held Tit le Under Rule of Czar.
A despatch from Paris says: -The
Shell and Royal Dutch oil interests
are reported on good authority to have
concluded a rather remarkable poli-
tical -commercial bargain -' which
amounts to betting that the Bolshevik
regime in Russia will fall within ten
years.
Under this arrangement, which, it
is understood, was consummated in
Paris, the British oiI interests have
bought from Russians who held title
to the property under the Czar's re-
gime the rights to oil from the
Grosnyi district in the Caucasus. The
basis of the agreement is a payment
now of from five to ten per cent. of
the estimated value of the production
from those fields in return for which'
British interests are assured the ex-
clusive control of all production of
that district.
There is a time limit of 10 years
to the agreement -in other words, if
at the end of 10 years the old owners
are unable to regain their property
the deal is off. Naturally, if the Bol-
sheviks fall this year and are replac-
ed by a regime which recognizes the
old property rights, the British inter-
ests may get the oil quickly.
Considerable secrecy surrounds the
deal. But it is learned it is of• such
magnitude that lawyere who handled
the deal here got a commission of
several million francs. The payments
made by Shell and Royal Dutch are
said to run into many millions of
francs, gold.
A number of Russians owning pro-
perty in the Grosnyi fields are refu-
gees in Paris and are engaged direct-
ly in the negotiations, it is said.
It is a common report in Russian
colonies here that a number of Rus-
sians recntly have had much money
to spend -men who didn't have so
much a short time ago.
Negotiations are said to be under
way by both British and French oil
interests to make a similar arrange.
meet for the control of oil in the
Baku district. This district is now
under doubtful control, being held
by Soviet organizations of Azerbai-
jan, whose subservience to Moscow
appears at this time doubtful. A pipe-
line from Baku to Batum on the
Black Sea ,built by the Czarist Gov-
ernment, runs through Azerbaijan
and Georgian territory. This is the
richest oil district of the Caucasus.
"Benefits" of Civilization.
Some of the tales brought south by
bold navigators in Arctic and sub -
Arctic areas are to be taken with
more than a pinch of salt, for there
Is none to gainsay the narrator. There
is no doubt, however, that the terrors
and the tedium of the long, long
nights of the north are mitigated or
increased, according to the point of
view, by the voice of the talking -ma-
chine, the "canned white man" of un-
cannibalistie commerce. It is perfectly
easy to imagine that the voice of the
white num now goes to parts of the
earth -Nepal, for instance, or Afghan-
istan -where, in propria persona, the
European or American would be an
unwelcome guest. The words of an
ambassador night conceivably "horn
in" upon assemblages where the emis-
sary himself could not appear.
Unhappily, along with the made-
to-order music there appear some con-
comitants of civilization not so de-
sirable and in their effect upon the
savage highly deleterious. Two wars
were fought with China in the name
of a Christian land to force the cur;t!
of opium, at. a coat of over $6,000,-
000,000 for the drug alone, upon that
nation. And where the white men
have gone in the North, the reign of
Ring Alcohol over the souls and
bodies of the natives has often become
an absolute despotism, worse than the
cruelties of any temporal sovereignty
in Ashnntee or Dahomey. The plague
of drink makes the vanishing race of
the Eskimos en easy prey to anything
in the way of disease that comes or
the wings of the wind or disembarks
from a steamer. Nor can the Eskimo,
to his advantage, be cramped into a
white man's house or a white man's
way of living. Part of the bill of "the
heathen" against civilization is for
the evils that have entered regions
innocent and undefiled in the wake of
so-called benefits that hail from lower
latitudes and sometimes from lower
levels of conduct and of feeling.
Briand Without Boots.
The fact that he has always worked
for his living is a source of pride to
M. Briand, who for the seventh time
becomes Premier of France. The son
of a Paris shopkeeper, he began as a
journalist, -and migrated to the law.
So straightened were his circum-
stances that once, when invited to lec-
ture
eature at Rennes, he had to reply: "Im-
posible to come. No boots," The
promoters, rather than miss the lec-
ture, forwarded the price of suitable
footwear.

SOUTH AFRICA SAVED TO •THE EMPIRE
BY GENERAL SMUTS' VICTORY
Secessionists Vote Totalled 39, While General Smarts'
Loyalist Party Holds '73 Seats--•-•Retw'ns Not Yet
Complete, {
A despatch from Capetown. says:--
General Jan Christian Smuts, the
Prime Minister of the Union of South
Africa, and his Coalition of the South
African and Unionist parties have
won 43 seats in the House Assembly
in the bitter election fight against the
Secessionists, who had only 12 seats
to their credit. Labor had wan nine
scant and the Independents one seat,
Altogether there are 135 seats to be
filled.
The returns received to date were
mainly from urban districts and it
probably will be several days before
the full report from the country is
available.
The followers of Gen. Smuts claim
that he ie certain of victory, since
the bulk of his strength heretofore
has been in the country districts.
General Smuts has been returned
for Pretoria West by a big majority,
The feature of the results, so far as
known, is the collapse of the Labor
party. Apparently the Labor party
will only have nine members in the
new Assembly, against 21 in the last
House. Col. Cresswell, Leader of the
Laborites, was defeated in Treyville.
The urban results have been very
engcouraging to the South African
party, but. the country returns are
causing anxiety to the Government.
The Minister of Justice in the Smuts
Administration hag been defeated
by a Nationalist in Potehefstrom,
Sir Abe Bailey, wall known in roc.
ing circles, retains Icrugersdorp.
Enormous majorities were given
the South African party in Durban
and Cape Town, while the L'nbor
party suffered a severe reverse in
the Rand district. In Cape„Town the
South African party gained two
seats, in Durban three, hi the Rand
eight and in Fast Lordon one,
The victory of the party headed by
Prime Minister Smuts Is attributed
to the fact that workingmen votes$
against the secession issue raised by'
General Ilertxog, and did not pay
much aatention to sectional lsiuo•i
raised by Labor leaders.
A later despatch frorn Johannes.

in that country, at 9 o'clock on
Thursday night was:

This gives the Loyalists a majority
over the 'Secessionists and all others
of 22 clear seats. Eleven seats aro
still to be heard from.
WAS OFFERED SPEAKERSHIP.
Mrs. Ralph Smith, M.P.P. for Van-
couver,
ancouver, has declined the post of Speak-
er in the British Columbia House, It
is the first time in history that such
en honor was ever offered to a woman,
The wife of a Newcastle miner, Mrs.
Smith came to Canada twenty-eight
years ago, and it was through helping
her husband, who ultimately became
Minister of Labor, in his political
work, that she acquired the knowledge
and experience which led to her par-
liamentary election.
Many stories are told of Mrs.
Smith's tact and ability In controlling
unruly meetings. On one occasion a
man was heckling her.
"Come up on the platform and have
it out," said Mrs. Smith.
The heckler hesitated.
"He's ehy, Mary Ellen, he's shy,"
shouted a wag in, the audience, adapt-
ing the words, of a popular song.
"Don't be shy of me, sonnie," re-
torted Mrs. Smith; "I'm everybody's
pal." The crowd laughed heartily and
the heckling ceased.

The Past In Its Place.
It is a common desire among.man-
kind to wish in vain that yesterday
might be relived in the light of the
experience to -day possesses.
Often a nisn is heard to say that be
wouki give much to recall the hours
of youth irrevocable new. If he could
have them back, he feels that he would
put them to different and to better,
uses. In the years that are not to bell
retraced he took many false turns; he'
made egregious blunders for which, in
many ways, he has since paid a griev-
ous penalty.
He is tempted, in turning over the
pages of the book of memory, to go
into mourning at many points; to
chide himself bitterly. "How foolish
I was to trust that mane" he exclaims.
Or perhaps he says, "I should have ac-
cepted this position instead of the one
I took." Or he is rueful for advice
that he refused. He may have made
affiliations, in family or society or
business, which have brought him lit-
tle but care and sadness. If only he
could have the alternatives before him'
again; if only he could retr.nce the
path and be granted a second chancel
Now he sees, when it is too late; now,
he is wise, but the knowledge cones
too tardily to inform and guide his ac-
tion. He made his choices; they made
his life. The time he squandered, the
talent he prodigally flung to the
winds, the health he undermined by
taking liberties therewith, these are
forevermore a forfeit. He cannot go
back. The period of his life'that once
was luminous with happy prophecy,'
beclouded with no dark misgiving, has
become a sombre history. It is a tale
of great expectations disappointed; of
the best .intentions that never came'
to anything of moment; of ruin in
place of riches; of defeat and despair
instead of victory.
But that man is a creature of a poor
and craven spirit who lets himself be
mastered by reflections such as these.
The proudest and the greatest among
us, at one time or another, have made
a mess of things. The beauty and the
bravery of life lie not in harking back
but in going ahead. The heroes and
heroines are the font of straightfor-
ward action in the sun of the present
shining day; not the unhappy crea-
tures who cannot rise above the de-
pression bred in their minds by their
own Memories. Yesterday belongs in
its place; it is of the past. It may
Iinstruct but it must not perplex nor
, baffle to -clay. With every dawn that
flushes the sky we are given a day
that is as new as the first day of the
world. We are meant to -begin afresh
with it. The years that are to be aro
beckoning us away from the thr. ,+✓ mt
Of the years that were. It is a mercy
