EMPIRE TRADE A VITAL NEED
In the past ten years new tariff barriers
have been created by many countries,
restricting the outlets for Canadian
products.
Such restrictions naturally 'lead to
reduced buying power on the part of
the people, in turn affecting manu-
facturers and producers in every line.
This problem has demanded the high-
est qualities of statesmanship for its
solution and, the trend having been
early recognized by the King Adminis-
tration, a non-partisan and highly com-
petent Tarriff Board was appointed.
The result of the tireless efforts of this
Board is the King -Dunning Budget.
KEEPING DOWN
King Budgets during the past nine
years have kept living casts down.
Tariffs have lgeen lowered on many
commodities and implements of pro-
duction, reducing living costs, and costs
TAXES REDUCED
Income Tax—reduced over 35% since 1924 -
Sales Tax—Reduced from 6% to 1%.
Postal Rates—Reduced from 3 cents to 2 cents;
penny postage re-established.
Cheque Tax—Reduced from 2 cents on every
$50.00 to 2 cents over $10.00.
Receipt Tax—Abolished.
Transportation Tax --Abolished.
Insurance Tax—Abolished.
Telegraph Tax—Abolished.
Reduction in five years estimated to amount
to $116,000,000.
The prompt development of trade
within the Empire is the logical solu-
tion of the enormous problem
involved; and the enthusiastic manner
in which the King -Dunning Budget
has been received throughout the
Empire ensures Canada a most
favourable position at the 'Imperial
Conference for the interchange of
products.
Providing a market for Canada's
products, ensuring the building up of a
home market for her manufactured
products, the policy of the King
Administration offers assurance of
Canada's future prosperity.
LIVING COSTS
of production while at the same time
helping Canada to build up the greatetst
export trade per capita, in the world,
in manufactured and semi -manufac-
tured goods.
TARIFF REDUCTIONS
1922—Sugar, agricultural implements, textiles,
boots and shoes.
1923—British preferential tariff reduced by 10
percent, where goods imported by Canadian
port. '
1924—Instruments of production used in
agriculture, mining, forestry and fisheries.
1925—Welldrilling machinery and fishermen's
engines.
1926—Sugar, automobiles, tin-plate, etc.
1928—Implements of production in mining
and fishing industries; fertilizers on free list.
1930—Tea, porcelain, china, yegetables, fruits,
free under British preference.
Reduction in duties means reduction in prices.

S. S. LESSON FOR JULY 27th, 1930
DEATH -BED REPENTANCE NOT
FOR "CHICAGO MAY"
In ")?lain Talk" tHlarvey Klemmer
comes chivalrously to the defence of
the memory of "Chicago tray" and
denies that she died a repentant sin-
ner. On the contrary, she died with
her boots of crime strapped tightly
on. The story had somehow been set
going by May's detractors that at
last she had turned over a new leaf,
and submitted thankfully to the min-
istrations of various worthy ladies
who sought to wean her from a Life
of sin. 'It appears from Mr. Klem-
mer's story that if she accepted money
from such sources it' was with the idea
of spending it on gin. One of her
last statements was to contradict
those who say that crime does not pay.
She declared, "The truth is that crime
is tremendously lucrative,. Of course,
criminals sometimes get caught, but
even jail isn't much worse than spend-
ing one's life at some factory ma-
chine. Better be an eagle' for a sin-
gle day than a canary bird, for a life-
time." At another time she said, "I
have 'lived' high, wide and handsome,
taking the 'bitter with the sweet. I
have made a dozen fortunes and spent
them all. I have had friends who
would die for me and did. What more
could anybody ask of life?" Never-
theless May was not much more than
50 when she died, and for some years
before that she had been in a kind of
exile in Detroit. She also suffered
from a painful disease. However, if
she was satisfied, nobody else will be
likely to complain. The life seemed
to suit her; but there are not many
like Chicago May.
The last money of any account that
she made was the $2,500 she received
from the Hearst newspapers for writ-
ing the story of her life. This ac-
count, however, was largely a work of
imagination, for IVIey was not content
with recording her own actual adven-
tures. She made of her story a kind
of composite biography of .all the fa-
mous adventuresses of history with
whose exploits she was familiar. This
was a painting of the lily, for her own
chequered career was appalling en-
ough from its beginning near Dublin
when as a mere child she ran away
to Londonderry, to the final discovery
of May under an assumed name in the
ward of a Detroit hospital. She was
about to undergo a serious operation
and fear that she 'might be buried in
Potter's field 'prompted her to give
her name just before she went under
an anaesthetic: May thought that if
she did not recover she would be given
a funeral worthy of the reputation
she had earned as "queen of the un-
derworld."
Chicago May presents one of those
baffling problems in sociology which
well may be Ganong the mysteries of
human conduct never to be -solved.
There was nothing in either the here-
dity or the environment of the beau-
tiful Beatrice Desmond to suggest
that she was to ,become one of the
most notorious female criminals in
the world. .She was raised a good
Catholic and spent several years in a
convent. Then one day she ran away
and reached Londonderry and thence
to Glasgow whence she sailed for New
York, arriving an innocent youngster
as we may suppose, of 13. After
some more wandering she arrived at
Lincoln, Nebraska, where an uncle
had a ranch. There she met Dal
Churchill, a dashing youth of 20, and
became his wife when she was only
14. Churchill turned out to be a des-
perado, and May's introduction to
mime was as a lookout for him and
his gang. Money flowed into the
Churchill family, and the ease. with
which it was obtained and the plea-
sure in spending it probably decided
May once for all that the paths of
virtue were too thorny. Never again
was she to tread them, for after her
husband had been lynched she went
toChicago and entered its school of
crime.
'Of this stage of her career She said:
"It never occurred to me to look for
work . The Chicago World's Fair
was a literal gold mine for crookdom."
Her good looks, her cheerfulness and
her willingness to engage in any sort
of criminality so long as it was well
paid, won her friends among the
notable criminals of the city and she
became intimate with Sophie Lyons,
Pat Sheedy and other gamblers, swin-
dlers and desperadoes. She contract-
ed various alliances with men who
took her fancy, but only once did she
take a husband, his name being Jim
Sharpe. After the fair she went to
New York and there became a darling
of her audacity, which took such
forms as stealing the uniform of a
police officer whom she had beguiled
and lifting the stickpin of a judge
who had sentenced her to jail. From
New Yqrk she went to Europe as a
member of a gang of confidence work -
ere, and formed an alliance with the
celebrated Eddie Guerin, ,whose es-
cape from Dev'ilis' Island forms an
epic in criminal literature. After
Guerin4s. escape he returned to Lon-
don 'where he was shot by Charlie
Smith. May's sweetie of the Moment.
Smith was sent to prison for fifteen
years, and May for ten as an acces-
sory. Upon her release ahe was 'de-
ported, and the rest bf her days were
spent wandering from one American
city to another.
Her, powerful friends were gone, ~n
the g?`nae, on prison or, in exile. Her

Lesson Topic—Deborah.
Lesson Passage—Judges 4:1-10.
Golden Text—Isaiah 35:4.
From a hook entitled "The Repre-
sentative Women of The Bible, by
George Matheson, D.D.," the follow-
ing is gathered about Deborah. She
is the only woman in the Bible who
is placed at the height of political
power by the common consent of her
people. Other females have reigned
besides Deborah—but not by the
votes of the people. Jezebel reign-
ed, Athaliah reigned; but their em-
pire was regarded with hatred by
the community. Even .popular sov-
ereigns like Elizabeth of England
have in the first instance been in-
debted to their descent from the ex-
isting royal line. But Deborah had
no royal lineage. She was the wife
of an obscure man. She was chosen
in spite of her sex, in spite of her
quiet life., in an age when men might
have been supposed to have selected
physical giants—an age of ' cruelty,'
Her selection is one of the greatest
tributes ever paid to the intellect of
woman.
Before she was chosen as a Judge
she had filled the office of prophetess.
Certain hours of the day she was to
be found under "the palm tree between.
Ramvah and Bethel in Mount Eph-
raim." 'Here she instructed all who
sought her counsel—spoke to the peo-
ple the words of God. She was a
gifted woman—a woman endowed not
only with commonsense but with that
which is supposed to be its opposite—
the spirit of poetry (chapter 5).
In to -day's lesson Deborah is seen
in the political sphere. The Israe-
lites, wives and children alike, were
being maltreated by a neighbor,—tea
foreigner who had settled in the
midst of them and "for twenty years
he mightily oppressed the children
of Israel." From the song of De-
borah we learn the nature of his op -
.pression. Lifei and !property were
not safe. The Israelite was hunted
like a hare, women were not safe,
neither were children left unmolested
and the young girls who went down
to draw water at the well were as-
sailed byea storm of. arrows. It was
brutality for the sake of being bru-
tal. Such was the destitute parish
over which Deborah was the minister-
ing spirit. Then she says: "I arose
a mother in Israel; Si'sera, the cap-
tain of the hosts of the king of Cana-
an, is a foreign germ preying upon
the vitals of her family. tSisera must
he expelled." Her love demands the
lash; her symvapthy cries for the
sword.
It is at this stage that Deborah
asks the aid of Barak. She does not
want to go down to posterity as a
fighting woman; the stroke must not
be given by a female hand. He
comes and receives her instructions.
The woman cries, "Lead anti your
band and strike the oppressor down!
The man with palpitating heart an-
swers: "I cannot go alone; you must
come with me" The woman says,
"Will you allow a fethale to get the
credit of your victory?" The man
in abject terror responds, "Without
you, I dare not go"' Then Deborah
cries, "I will go; � had meant mine
to be the woman's sphere; but as the
man is unfit for his, own I shall add
the battle -field to the. nursery!' -
"And Deborah arose, and went with
Barak to Kedesh."- On the banks of
the Kish�on they fight and win. The
°' ranks of the Canaanite are annihi-
lated. !Broken is the sword of Sis-
era, shattered in his shield. He dis-
mounts from his chariot, and runs
,duns for dear life.
We still need Deborah for cruelty
stalks abroad and vice' lies in wait-
ing foe- unwary sails. May the cry
of Deborah continue to sound until
man shall rise in his plower and de-
throne iniiquity which is eating into
the vee y Peart of Pur mlanhood and
woi anleood.
