and liberty on the other; between
darkness and light.

He, who secretly, or overtly, tries to

traitor, and a traitor's fate should be
his.
jI believed that this was no ordinary
war between people for a question of
'national interest. or even national
honor, but a conflict between funda-
mental principles and ideas; and so,
1 believing, I was bound to feel that
the natural. lines of race, blood and
kinship could not be the determining
lines for one's attitude and alignment,
but that each man, regardless of his
elm had to decide according , to
his udgment and conscience on which
Side was the; right, and on which was
the wrong, and take his stand accord-
ingly, whatever the wrench and an-
guish of the decision. And thus I
took my stand three years ago.
But whatever one's views and feel-
ings, whatever the country of one's
birth or kin, only one course was left
for all those claiming the privilege of
American citizenship, when, after in-
finite forbearance, the President de-
cided that ;our honor and safety de-
manded that we take up arms against
the Imperial German Government, and
by action of Congress the cause• and

SENTENCED TO FIFTEEN YEARS
Mr. Justice- Masten at Goderich on
Monday, sentenced James McCracken,
the young Morris township farmer, to
15 years in Kingstoli penitentiary for
the murder of his wife.
Great interest was manifested in
the proceedings. When the hour for
opening arrived the court 'house .was
crowded. At the':trial last fall the jury
could not agree on a verdict. The
grand jury had brought in, a true bill
of murder and the jury had disagreed.
T . C, Robinette, K.C., of Toronto,
and Mr. Vanstone, of Wingham, ,who
defended the prisoner, indicated that
McCracken, was willing to withdraw
his plea of not guilty and pleadguilty
to a charge of manslaughter. The
crown accepted this plea. Mr. Rob-
inette then made a, strong plea for
I niency on behalf of the prisoner, re-
ferring to the sadness of the Tease,
a young man of thirty years of age,
of a good family,which in no sense be-
icipalities in the Province of Quebec,
will be governed by a "bone-dry" pro-
hibition law, From that date the ship-
ment of liquor containing more than
21/2 per cent. of proof spirits into pro-
vinces which have passed prohibitory
laws and municipalities which have
adopted local option, will be illegal
under -the order -in -council just pass-
ed by the Federal Government under
the War Measures Act. Manufacture
of liquor, too, will be 'stopped on that
date, except that in_ Ontario the mak-
ing of native wine ' and in Quebec
the brewing of beer, now permitted
by the Provincial Governments, will
be allowed to continue until the end
of the year. After December 31st
next, however, " the drought will be
noticeable even in the City of Montreal
and the aforementioned districts of

hibition law does not become operative
until May 14th, 1919. Importation
